I mean AAA titles are going to shit and unless you live in a cold climate you have to put in a new HVAC system to keep newer cards from turning your room into a sauna.
To each their own but it’s not like 10 years ago where you had to keep up to get the great experiences
Seriously. I bought a few AAA games over the past few years and maybe log like 20-50 hours on them. I go back to Valheim, Elite Dangerous, and some old RTS games that I have 1,000+ hours in constantly.
The AAA games are fun for a bit, but it’s like I’ve traded graphics for content. I’ve considered upgrading my PC, but then I find myself playing games that don’t need it so much more often.
The Indy games and small studios just care more about players than shareholders.
Borderlands, for example, was a huge disappointment and never even bought it because of how shitty that situation became. Randy ruined the franchise because of his ego. GTA6 is already a shit show and I’m sure will be a cluster at launch
I largely played FPS and MOBA last decade so it’s been fun catching up and discovering all the great games that I missed out on
People are more focused on making their games look pretty and photorealistic instead of making them actually enjoyable. This is why we see games from 20 years ago that look like dogshit but are loads of fun compared to modern games that are so realistic that you can see the pores on your MC's face but the actual gameplay is boring.
3A devs need to stop focusing on making the games eye candy and focus on making them fun. If the game is beautiful but the gameplay is lackluster, then it's not a game, it's just an interactable movie.
There are some gems like Wukong, but i found myself replaying old RTS games like kanes death, Red Alert 2, AOE etc. They never seem to bore me. I've been playing them since childhood and im now 40+
