Keep playing them for 20 years :D
I've been playing games since I could hold a controller basically, so 26-ish years, and I think modern gaming is phenomenal. I feel sad for you, but it is what it is. Just your loss in the end.
Modern gaming is a micro transaction DLC hellscape. Are you serious?
Are they fun? Yes, they are designed to be addictive. So you spend money on pixels.
None of the games I mentioned have micro transactions.
Outer Wilds, 1000xResist and What Remains of Edith Finch all moved me to tears. I still can't casually listen to the soundtracks of Outer Wilds or 1000x, as they simply evoke too many emotions.
Stop conflating Call of Duty and the like with "modern gaming".
You're jaded, and I feel sad for you.
Ah, no, I've not played it. It's been on my wishlist for quite a while tho :) Been on a bit of a JRPG streak lately.
I didn't know it took place in Indonesia though, that's very intriguing. It will probably be my next game of this ilk then, thank you!
And yeah, no stranger to To The Moon :P
Oh? If I’m picking the wrong games, and they’re all on the Steam top 100, what games should I be playing? Give me a 2025 title I haven’t tried.
Nothing, that’s why I bought the game. Don’t shake me down for more money because you couldn’t forecast.
I've been playing them for 35 years and I don't share your opinion at all.
Into the Breach only came out 8 years ago, but I'm still playing it vigorously.
I'm sorry to say, your nostalgia-colored-glasses are so strong, you're actually blinded by them. I grew up in the same gaming era as you (started around early to mid 90s, but the peak was later), and I too have fond memories. But there undeniably has been some magnificent progress in pretty much all aspects of gaming.
Somewhere between 2005 and 2010, I thought I had outgrown gaming, and that no game would have anything to offer to me anymore. But years later I learned that that was just because I was stuck thinking that JRPGs were the pinnacle of gaming, it turned out that I had grown out of those. Obviously your story will be different, but I bet there is some story to you somewhere.
