The best part of video games back in the day was making memories with your friends, now it all feels like structured fun. “This is how you play the game and this is when you are supposed to have fun” Idk if that makes sense.
Play indie games. There are still a lot of fun games out there.
AAA games are all “live services” nowadays and designed to maximize your play time, not fun.
Absolutely. This is how I discovered games like Hollow Knight and Spiritfarer, two of my absolute favorites. Can’t bring myself to play very many AAA games outside of some multiplayer ones like Mario Party and Mario Kart.
Yeah, it’s a golden age for indie development. I struggle to find AAA games I want to play, but when it comes to games as a whole I have far too many I want to check out thanks to the current vibrancy of the indie scene.
