search and search and search and everything is slop, the few things that come out each year is slop slop slop

SLOP
 
Yeah, it sucks. A lot of people will cope with, "just play indie", but most indie stuff either just plain sucks, or is trying way to hard to emulate older good stuff anyway, and being mid at best. I've just been playing the original Rayman games and some Final Fantasy 7 lately and that's been fun. I never played them as a kid, so it's not nostalgia goggles. I guess something about modern day devs just keeps them from making anything good.
 
You can always play old ones, depends on your taste, or if you just want new games.

For example, a good one that is indie (that came in 2019 I think): Baba Is You. One of the many, if you have not played it yet.

One of my favourites for the DS: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky, and for the GameBoy: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team. Also liked Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin.

All of this stuff seems ancient, but I don't know if you want current stuff, and what have you played before.

Exactly, Indie is just as bad as AAA. Both sectors basically produce the same 3 shitty games over and over again. I'm so so utterly sick of procedural generation "rogue-lite" games. And AAA open world games.

OG Raymen and FF7 were some of my favs as a kid those are great games. Although the first Rayman is way too bloody hard once you get to the pencil levels.

Somehow modern devs just don't know how to make a game.

I like old games but I've mostly played everything I want to play and I don't often go back and play something again.

I did play Baba Is You I thought that was an alright puzzle game.

I've not played Pokemon Mystery Dungeon before. Those games should be called "rogue-lite" not things like Hades I/II. As Pokemon like the other console rogue-likes are rogue but with a lot of the world interaction elements taken out.

I'm not sure what I'm looking for really, I just want to get into deep into something.


Emulate what though? I can't think of what I have not played that I want to play. What are you playing?


Do you know there is not a single fucking FPS game on Steam to play? Has no FPS game come out since the boomer shooter stuff a few years ago?

Then you should try the Pokémon ones, they are somewhat easy as you'd expect (but also have some hard stuff, and extra hard at the end), music is great, and immersion too.

If you like this stuff, you will get deep into the story (at least from my experience); there are several versions in the typical Pokémon fashion, as I posted though, I recommend first the "Red rescue team" (the other is "Blue rescue team", but try Red because it has better music); and "Explorers of Sky" (best version of the 3; other 2 are explorers of space, and explorers of time, which were expanded with Sky).

There's like a million games though, maybe play Catherine: Full Body.
 
Imo "triple A" games or anything made by massive corporations are maximum sloppa, however indie games, small studio games and 'mid' size game devs have been in the best spot I've ever seen.

If you look past corpo sloppa and dig deeper you'll find some gems. I'm enjoying the shit out of deep rock galactic, v rising, vampire survivors and megabonk lately. Valheim is also a lot of fun.
 

This. There's more retro games out there than you'll ever have time to play. You could spend hours a day just trying out old games that you never played before. It's way more fun than AAA glitchfest slop.
 
i feel like the only people who say this are people who are just burnt out on gaming or are trying to chase the same childlike wonder they got when playing games as a kid, as far as i can see gaming is in the best place it has been in ever and its only going to get better. the recent shift towards indie has allowed for some of the most unique games to be made practically ever (early pc games made from incomprehensible graphics and systems may just slightly still beat modern gaming tho).
all else fails you can just play old games but people who wish to constantly complain about gaming seem to forget this simple fact. its not like the classics are getting worse in fact some are getting better to this day, ive been enjoying my 493795th playthrough of terraria because the devs cant figure out what a final update actually means.

Emulate what though?

In indie you have to do leg work to find the good shit in your niche. I've mainly been enjoying retro rps games but even in that niche there's endless slop so you still have to find the gems in the shit which takes more than sorting by popularity. You could also find a reviewer you personally gel with for recommendations, I've found many games because of sseth like intravenous, synthetik, underrail, etc.

This is modern gaming in a nutshell nigger

Most of the games i play are at least 10 years old, with the exception of a hidden indie gem here or there

Me too but eventually the well runs dry and you are left with shitty GBA movie tie ins. What are you playing currently?

There is hundreds of good games out there, most of them released around 15-20 years ago, and no I am not going to spoonfeed a nigger who can't use google.

I'm with you there but I spent the 00s playing all the classics from the 80s and 90s and I ran out of games to play now, what are you playing now?

Then you should try the Pokémon ones, they are somewhat easy as you'd expect (but also have some hard stuff, and extra hard at the end), music is great, and immersion too.

If you like this stuff, you will get deep into the story (at least from my experience); there are several versions in the typical Pokémon fashion, as I posted though, I recommend first the "Red rescue team" (the other is "Blue rescue team", but try Red because it has better music); and "Explorers of Sky" (best version of the 3; other 2 are explorers of space, and explorers of time, which were expanded with Sky).

The pokemon dungeon games have a story??

Well I'll probably give the red rescue team a try then. Why do they have to release so many versions of the same game even with spin offs, is it really just to limit what pokemon you run into?

Catherine, I like the alcohol lore at the bar, but I can't stand the sex with women plot, I try to stay away from romance games.

I've played all of those games and none of them floated my boat. Vamprie survivors is like a casino game. Megabonk is 5 years too late, it's building slightly on vamprie survivors but not enough for coming out in 2025.

I'm sorry for being harsh, yeah the AA games is the best bet, there is the odd okay game there but it's like the rare diamond in the sewage that you see once a full moon.

I only play Holdfast, it's just drunk spergs larping and shitposting over voice chat. It's a glimpse of the good old days

That looks pretty funny but I imagine it's the type of game that has players for a month and then you spend 20 hours queuing for a round and then get tea-bagged imediately the moment you load into a map

I thought Otter was fun. It's pretty easy, but if you buy two decks it can accommodate up to eight. Final Girl had a new expansion this year, of solitary games are more your style.

What is Otter??? What decks?? Steamdecks?

This. There's more retro games out there than you'll ever have time to play. You could spend hours a day just trying out old games that you never played before. It's way more fun than AAA glitchfest slop.

I've played all the games I wanted to play. It's hard to find anything to get into anymore. the problem is that it's been 26 years since the year 2000 and I've been surviving off old games alone since then so I ran out of new things.

Get cities skylines and like 50+ mods to go with it.
You'll be busy for hours.

I played it and it was pretty fun, not with any mods though. But I've been there done that. What mod you playing with?

I still play the super nintendo my mom got me at a flea market in 1994, and I have the Simpsons arcade game on my computer.
I'm set for life.

Fuck yeah, what super nindenta game are you playing?

You are probably right, I am chasing that same childlike wonder and never finding it.

But, I cannot fucking abide by the belief gaming is better than ever. It is NOT.

Indie games are fucking terrible, AAA games are fucking terrible.

IT's all slop, nothing comes close to the classics of the golden era.

There is a reason no games from the last 20 years are nostolgic and nobody goes back to them.

But yes, I am burnt out, and I am looking for that same immersion I felt when I was young, maybe it's not possible as a cynical old man.

Fuck have you found any FPS games lately? I played those boomer shooters and they okay I guess. It's been yaers since then and not a isngle FPS has come out. Where the fuck is the FPS genre????????

This is where you can dig through the anus of history before the time of video games to find tabletop, board or card games to play.

They all require at least another person to play with and the only being I talk to is a cat
 
Mewgenics is coming out tchewsday, it's gonna be some premium goyslop. I've been waiting for the longest time for it.

Other than that, yeah just play old games, I played bioshock for the second time after 10 years and it's still a pretty good game, jewsperging aside. Very good game for 2007 standards.
