Games get boring

[Luca]

Am I the only one that thinks games are just not what they used to be back in the days?
I remember having fun building stuff in the forest, doing missions in gta and whatsoever.
I feel like every game nowadays is only centered around making money, you got battle passes everywhere, which even give you unfair advantages in some games.
It is true that Micropayments for yeeears, but I still think that it is getting out of hand.
The cheaters become more and more too and are very easy to spot if you know what you have to look for.
I feel like as soon as gaming became mainstream, that it was its downfall.

Yep, you're the only one. I am still having a blast with good games.

Just play Borderlands 2. It's still fun always.

take a break and find games you enjoy playing, maybe even try something new, you never know when youll find a new genre you like.

Modern games have become pretty lazy. Lots of recycling with endless remakes, reboots. Making long standing IPs into Far Cry clones, and of course, annoying scavenger hunt quests, and of course the quests generated from a list of variables like "this random settlement needs your help" which has to going to a listed location, and clearing out a group of enemies off of a list that spawn there.

That's not even counting the micro transactions and how most titles that aren't a yearly release now have some sort of monetization scam. Season passes, in-game currency you buy with real money, and of course, releasing individual items as their own DLC in order to add a couple dozen DLCs to purchase. Each new weapon, or vehicle, or city upgrade is it's own paid-for DLC.

It's lazy, it's cheap, it lacks vision, creativity, and even basic decency.

I looked at the games you play the most. Most of it is older than 10 years old, some of it is approaching 30 years old. Most your hours aren't spent in something I would consider new.

HiFi Rush, came out in 2023, would argue it's one of the best games I've ever played. Sure I have hours in old titles, but I do play new things here or PS4 occasionally.

Browse in the indie genre instead, maybe you'll find something more enjoyable than the triple A Games

I think you’re just playing games that aren’t made for you. Keep looking, you’ll find something you like

Finding one or two decent games made more recently doesn't disqualify the statement that the average overall quality of games has tanked. Finding a good game is becoming more and more difficult, but they're still there if you know where to look and dive deep enough. I've played a lot of good stuff made within the past 5 years... but there's a significantly smaller supply of it for the reasons I stated above. The industry has largely become lazy and talentless.

Haven't played Battle Royale

I heard you won't get a second chance

[Psycho]

I felt the same for a while but I just got dave the diver during the summer sale and it's a really unique game... a breath of fresh air in 2023

I used to always play survival games, like minecraft, terraria, etc.. but I got COMPLETELY burnt out on that whole genre. i mainly just play FPS' now, specifically TF2

if you're burnt out on all games, just take a break from gaming for a while and when you come back you'll likely enjoy playing them again, instead of feeling 'forced' to play games just for the sake of playing them, but not because you actually want to

[GlaceonChireiden]

Play games from that good period. You don't have to play modern games if they don't interest you.
Sometimes you just prefer older games instead of the aspects modern gaming pushes, and that's fine.

[Crazy Tiger]

It's more likely you're just becoming jaded with the hobby, OP. Or you might not explore what's there enough. Though it could also simply be that you're getting older and that sometimes means that things like tastes or interests change.

I've been gaming for 35+ years and for me gaming still is the greatest hobby. Lots of great and fun games, both old and new. My libraries and wishlists across various platforms/devices contain way too much good stuff.

Becuase you too much nostalgia v:

Also that the first experience cannot be repeated

Either give a break or play something else v:

[Tiberius]
