 However, they are failures with a catch. 

The catch is that you want to like them, and feel there is no reason you shouldn't like them. After all, the games are huge and do let you do what you want. There is even fantastic atmosphere at times. The games seem to deliver on their promises sometimes. However, this is a complete illusion. 

   The quests are completely mundane and NPCs are boring. The leveling system is awful and there are balance issues with items. Repetitive and glitch-filled world. It's way too shallow.  

Oblivion deserved a 6.5/10 and Skyrim a 7.5/10

I used to do that a lot. 

The logic is that it's more fun and satisfying to kill/destroy people online, rather than bots. It's very hard to get a single player game right these days. You need to create an immersive world, which is extremely hard to do.

I'm not him, but it's hilarious how he owned you so hard that you still mention his name.

I'm not sure how much I buy into this, I would argue that the same level of exceptional games has been consistent for the last few gens, including the current one. 

 

As an example, PSone has like, 10-20 amazing games. Stuff I would still happily go back and play on that clunky ass piece of shit, through a SCART lead on an old box TV. Lets say 20 games, out of 1850 in total which apparently released on it. Same story with the PS2, lets say 20 amazing games, out of 3800 games in total which released on the console. 

 

You just forget about all the hot garbage and remember the Metal Gear Solid's, or the Ocarina of Time level games, which creates a perception that things were better back in the day. 

That doesn't really make sense to me. What I'm doing is comparing "the best" of those past gens, with supposedly "the best" of these gens. That's completely fair to do. I don't plan to compare the 2.5/10 scoring titles anytime soon - I compare the 9/10 and 8/10s. 

In other words, those past gens might have had 20 great replayable games a gen. But what I'm saying is that this gen, in 20 years, will have like 0-4.

Mortal Kombat 11 -  I can't even get into the classic 2D Arcade fighters anymore, and I used to hold them to high regard over any 3D MK.

Red Red Redemption 2

Call of Duty Modern Warfare - this game looks like real life with RTX.

Ghost Recon Wildlands

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

The Division 2

It was an OK game after all was said and done but I wouldn't call it a masterpiece. I'd call Galaxy, Sunshine, and 64 masterpieces.  

Odyssey made a mistake by abandoning platforming's main role in Mario and focusing on exploration. It felt too easy and casual. I didn't like the world like I love Delfino Plaza, Peach's Castle, or the star hub in Galaxy. It was not a bad game at all, but it just was lacking/disappointing in key areas. 

Currently playing SM64 on my PC and having a BLAST.  I didn't even like this that much as a kid, so it's not "nostalgia" either. 

Game's world and mechanics are genuinely charming, creative, and fun. I'll just keep enjoying these classics I guess.

you can't be serious.  I can't even touch games from 2007.  Heck there wasn't even Lost Odyssey in 2007. 

you are playing virtually the same gameplay mechanics. 

GTA 3 is the basic blueprint for the way GTA 5 plays.

SM:Odyssey is a less fun and less challenging version of SM64. 

BOTW is Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker with open world mechanics.

DOTA 2 is literally a 1:1 mapping of DOTA 1.

Skyrim is a snowy joke compared to Morrowind's fire (except just the combat is better in Skyrim). 

What exactly are you playing that makes older games feel outdated? lol

Well that goes for every browser period lmao..  You're not getting away from that.

 

Like I said.. you can choose NOT to sync anything or even use a profile..

 

So you moved to Brave... which is also based on Chromium... and is a completely unknown company...  Why would you think that's a good idea?  

Uhh, no. You are uploading your whole history to some Microsoft-owned server. If I reinstall windows, Chrome will have no way to restore jack shit, unless they got the NSA involved.

I had to stop using Brave because some websites stopped loading certain features. When I used it, it was by far the quickest browser I had. 

Just now, Remij_ said:

No... the browser syncs with your account that you log into.  You can choose to not sync if you don't want to. 

That's still incredibly fishy. 

That means your whole history is being stored by Microsoft, and someone can gain access.

It's nice to install a fresh copy of Windows and have Edge automatically detect everything, sync everything, and be the default browser and not even have to think about downloading a browser and then setting it up and yadda yadda.

 

All the extensions work and automatically sync, all my history and everything.  It's good stuff.  Why you wouldn't just simply use Edge now is beyond me.. 

so you're saying this browser detects and restores your entire previous history, even when you've deleted everything off your computer?

It's scary how much memory/space Chrome uses due to tracking all your cookies. 

I moved to Brave, an anonymous browser. It worked quickly and perfectly. Problem was, some sites wouldn't let you comment and others wouldn't load certain things just because you were using that browser. 

Jimbo thinking he's a poet is as cringe worthy as Aza thinking it's a real woman he's dating.

I don't have enough time to play new games, let alone go back to older ones. Movies and music don't take the commitment that games do and I can passively consume those.

 

I don't avoid playing older games, it's just how it shakes out. I make room for the greatest game of all-time, Super Mario World, though.

He was obviously referring to people who refuse to play old games at all and only play new games (a few people like that on this very forum). Not people that simply don't have time.

Or most of the Sony shit that came for ps4.

Do you see anyone still playing Uncharted 4 in 10 years?

Hell, most of them don't even talk about it now.

I see nobody playing a single game from this gen in 10 years, except possibly 1-2 titles from the Switch. 

 Gaming now appeals to the lowest common denominator. It used to be a nectar of the Olympian gods.

I don't get people that don't play old games, it's like only watching new movies or only listening to new music 

Just don't tell these people that, at some point, those "old" games were new. And that at some point, current games will be considered "old.' 

Difference is people will still play classics like OOT, SM64, Banjo, etc. but won't give a rats ass about Gears of War 7  

At least 50% of those speedrunners are cheating or being deceptive. They pre-record the video (after numerous failed attempts), They then use the pre-recorded footage, and add in "live" commentary, as if it's happening live. Some outright use cheats/scripts. Others splice their vids. Many have been caught red handed.  

This also applies to many video walkthroughs. I watch the videos and find their commentary so cringe because it's designed to clearly "impress" the viewer. It is not a live game being played in most cases. 

I've gotten to the point that I play ONLY play games before 2007. Because I know the quality at least will be good/fun/interesting/addicting if it's rated high.  Been having a blast on my N64 emulator lately. 

What's sad is that those of you who will "attack" me for playing 10/20 year old games...don't realize that you are also playing the same thing (rehashes), just with "better" (imo not) graphics. Same gameplay mechanics, same storyline ideas, etc. all rehashed today.  

The facts  speak for themselves. The highest seller on STEAM is a 15 year old PS2 game (persona 4) and you are all hyping remakes like RE2, FFV7. YouTube videos of Ocarina of Time, etc. have people begging for modern "remasters", as if they have nothing else to look forward to lol. Unfortunately, modern gaming has reached such a low point that they completely screw up even the remakes.

I said this since the beginning. The first game was so bad it was good. You can’t replicate that with a sequel. It’s just going to be so bad it’s fucking terrible

it's not "so bad it's good." It's just good. 

Congratulations on announcing you know nothing about twin peaks and/or lynch. all of the campy humor is consciously done.
