Wait what? 2023 is the best year for games since a long time.
Not for old ones. Also wdym "best year for games since a long time."
Wdym "old ones". Players? I play the games since 80's and i said what i said. Best year as in not only many new releases but many good new releases and most important, finally many good diverse genre releases, not just the xero of EA shit plus tons of multi shooters and not much more like in lot of previous years.
I doubt it since shit's been bad for years. COD Mobile is the most painful example of which personally, which went to shit after like 2022.
No idea about shooters, i hate them, my point was that it's the best year for people who don't like shooters. Unlike for example 2018/19 which was the worst year for games literally ever, where nearly every studio moved to the multiplayer action games, to the point journos started using "single player game" as a fucking genre itself that much crisis it was in (and the most of those were also action games).
It's a big deal since I'm into shooters. Also, wtf is wrong with game journalists these days?
Polish game journalist up to around 2003-5 were pretty good. Later they caught exact same bug as every journos living from reviews of proprietary products - "sponsoring" (plus i suspect some specifically journalist things too which i dont know about).
Old games
I don't think i understand, of course it's the bad year for old games, every year is, because they are old. People finish them or get bored and move on.
Also not every. For example a lot of PDX games are going good, in case of CK3 it's like the second release now that the devs finally stopped ignoring it. Games with active modding scene also thrive.
It's not about comparison. It's observing the unavailability, not thrivingness. If for historical reasons you want to find those games you won't, for 87% of them.
I understand the history of video-games not matter to you, correct? Just the current hype matters?
Oh so it's about that. Yeah i guess then. I wonder if something like an online library for games can be made. It would be illegal ofc but so are those for books.
There is. In fact I downloaded Bookworm Adventures 1 and 2 in one
Five comments in and you finally realize what the video and therefore everyone but you is actually talking about.
Great work.
We got Pikmin 4 this year.
Pikmin 4?
