Date: September 26th, 2025 6:06 PM Author: charles XII In the 90s-00s it was obvious which games were good and which were Rentals or for people into a particular "genre." So you only had to play like 1-2 games a year and you'd be up on the gaming zeitgeist. Nowadays everything is kind of — for lack of a better term — The Same. Like all you had to do was play GTA3, GTA Vice City, etc. etc. (which had actual good open worlds, which NO ONE copies*), and didn't have to suffer through hundreds of hours of crap. GTA: Vice City is like 15 hours long. Cyberpunk is like multiples of that. Long Games just make the backlog situation worse.
*you ever notice how actual good ideas don't get copied e.g. Zelda, but crap like "western-made open world with some RPG elements" gets copied by everything? No one can explain why imo. |

Date: September 26th, 2025 6:16 PM Author: cowgod180 Nobody is playing them. Zoomers only play Roblox/Minecraft or watch Twitch streamers and Redditors buy tons of games during "Steam Sales" but never play a single one. |

Date: September 26th, 2025 6:18 PM Author: charles XII Why do "steam sales" compel people to buy stuff? Do people really behave irl like an economics textbook says they do? There's no point in buying something you can't use. Pare it down to a few impulse buys and not like 25 of them. Impulse buy like 2-3 games. The other 20 games you didn't buy will just be cheaper on average in the future. Western games get marked down to like $4.99 ffs.
