I’ve given up on the big boy consoles… here’s why
Переглядів 11921 день тому
The law of diminishing returns strikes hard this generation there’s just next to nothing compelling to draw me in the few exclusive games are just not my style. The consoles don’t do enough to differentiate themselves from the previous generation. I don’t know where to go from here, but I think I’m a PC gamer.

Handheld Gaming Is In A Weird Place | Ramblings On the Importance Of The 3DS
Переглядів 312Місяць тому
The last 10 or 12 years have been rough on handheld gaming, what once had an identity of its own is now mostly confined to less graphically impressive versions of Big Brother console games. More and more, I am drawn to systems like the DS and 3DS to give me the type of gaming I crave for short sessions and casual play. #3ds #casualgames #handheldgames

    Dist Rot is really called dist wears and tears. Dist can last a long time if you don't use them. If you use them, the laser in your bluray players, computers, and Game consoles will burn through the dist causing it to wears and tears. If you use it a lot, it will eventually be unplayable. But don't worry, it take years of wears and tears for the dist to be unplayable.

    People also try to say we need to preserve our culture, but our culture is corporate culture. Is that really worth preserving? If we really want to preserve things, we could preserve yhe environment and create less demand for new systems by upcycling GameBoys, but thats not how trends work because even nostalgia is a trend. It wasnt that long ago that the preservationists were dumping 2D games for 3D and scoffing at Wind Waker.

    I agreed with you. I don't even like button smashing or complex button sequences for combos. Even something as simple as shooting pistols which required me to press for each shot is annoyed me. That's why I'm developing a game where it's simple to play and not required me to press buttons over and over again. Though I decided to use target lock system instead of precise aiming since I want to focus on the action feeling more than required player skills to play. Maybe it's a me thing here, but I think trying to be precise at something is too tiring. Sometimes I just wanted to feels powerful without much efforts.

    I agree. Between working, taking care of a house and family I don't have alot of time to learn and memorize button sequences to do moves to be able to play a game. I noticed with my ps5 I spend alot of time trying to memorize button sequences that I don't get to really enjoy the game or I have to put the game on easy mode but then it's too easy. Seems like the nintendo classics keep it pretty simple still so I can actually enjoy those games more.

    You do realize that games like Bayonetta and Devil May Cry fall under your aforementioned action genre? Oops. Hack'n slay is not a genre on its own but more like a gameplay mechanic that can be applied to different genres like action games (Bayonetta), beat em ups (Golden Axe)and of course RPGs (Dark Souls). Even established genres like shooters (third person and first person) can often be applied as a sub genre to other main genres like RPGs. Mass Effect is a RPG with third person shooter galore. Borderlands is a RPG with first person shooter galore.

    • @NerdCrave
      @NerdCrave 19 днів тому

      Lots of games pull from different genres or can be called different things, but hack and slash is definitely a genre and both bayonetta and DMC are hack and slash games. Action is a broader term that does apply to those, but also applies to games like Zelda

I had trusted that a few great AAA VR games would be released for it within a year, but that didn’t happen. I’m not interested in horror games which have been a mainstay of PSVR2, and I’m not a racing game fan so GT7 is not for me.

    Consoles aren't unique enough anymore to justify $500 + $70 games. Would rather drop $2000 on a sick computer, then get all the games I want at huge discounts year round. You never have to pay full price for anything on PC. Consoles just limit frame rates and options at this point. I just don't see the point.

    Who cares If you just wanna play good games. You'll be able to play PlayStation 5 games in the future when the servers go down. Even now if there is an Xbox exclusive, you should play it if you want to. Some of this is just stuck in the past stuff. I'm old as hell myself and I enjoy classic gaming as well as modern day games. There's a site called Does it play that will let you know which games are completely on the disc and playable from the console. An Xbox is absolutely Attached to online play to activate the console. You don't have that yet with current PlayStation so the website Does it play allow you to curate a collection now of great stand-alone PS4 and PS5 games. Being set in your ways with things that you enjoy isn't necessarily A Bad Thing. I would just rather have everything because good games are everywhere. Even Sony is it going full live service. Jim Ryan started that initiative and the higher-ups have already reversed course on that. I say own it all if you have the money. There is a little bit of get off my lawn to this though. lol

    You're preaching to the choir, modern gaming felt alien to me even last generation with only a select few games appealing to me, my saving grace was the wii u, 3ds and vita, with the hype ps5 got I bought into it and just like you, I felt completely and utterly detached, it doesn't mesh with me but going back to ps3 and vita just feels right to me, I feel at home, that's not to say its all bad though, the Switch gets some good first party titles and the rise of "cozy" games has been great, I used to crave those types of games a lot but games like harvest moon and story of seasons did little for me but nowadays there's more fantasy settings and combat in these types of games, i can only hope for more from the next Nintendo console but if that turns out to be just as bad as the current gen consoles then I'll probably retire and sit on my vast libraries of retro games.

      I’m pretty worried about Nintendo‘s next generation. I feel like with the push towards 4K. They’re going to suffer from the same thing that all of these other publishers are suffering from where they end up spending so much time and resources on graphics that they de-prioritize gameplay, which has been absolutely wonderful. I wouldn’t say that I feel the same way about the switch as I do about the other modern consoles at all I love the switch, but I even seen the direction that things have gone with the switch and I feel that not all but a lot, the first switch games have lost some of the charm that they had on the 3DS which is not to say I don’t love the switch because I really do
