Just lie and say I've tried many big releases in the last few years and almost all disappointed me.
They will agree, even normies hate their new titles like FIFA, COD, Battlefield, Assassin's Creed, etc
Why would I sound out of touch? While microtransactions and battlepass shit is complete ass, the actual games are amazing. This has been the best year for games in over a decade, close to one of the best years for games period.

Simple as. If you're a depressed, lifeless retard and haven't found at least four games you'd consider good or great this year, consider either finding a new hobby or getting therapy.

There have been some high points this year, but the industry overall is in dire straits. I worry about the long-term viability and effect of many of the business practices that have ripple effects through game design.
You guys ever wonder what it's like for the people who couldn't find a single good game in the entirety of 2023? Isn't that weird to have video games as your hobby but you're so cynical that you couldn't find ONE newly released game that made you happy this year?
You gotta be pretty far up your own ass to think there's absolutely no good games that released this year. There's a lot of shitty games being released, but it doesn't means there's absolutely nothing good. Same as it ever was.
nta but heres the games I played this year and liked A LOT. most of them I even 100% plat trophy.
One Piece Odyssey
Wild Hearts
Wo Long
Monster Hunter Rise sunbreak (ps5)
Resident Evil 4
Street Fighter 6
Armored Core 6.
and soon we have the second Wo Long DLC which Im looking forward to. November theres Persona 5 Tactica. and theres probably other games Im forgetting. not to mention that even if all these games I just started a new bloodborne run and am at the end already. video games have never been better.

I do agree that gaming isnt "better than ever" or anything of that sort, but if 2023 didn't give you a SINGLE game you wanted to play, you need to find something else to do.
RE4 Remake was good, I just didn't like the gay ass slow walking scene when Leon's holding Ashley towards the end of the game. Gameplay-wise, it felt great to play.
Admit that there are in fact issues to be had such as soulless AAA slop, predatory microtransactions/lootboxes, and games not working as they should at launch, but don't be a fucking doomer either. Admit the good. Gush about the good games that have come out this year and why they're good.
I just agree and move on with my life, because at the end of the day I don't care about zoomermoron opinions enough to start a discussion over them. If they truly feel that way, they're a lost cause anyway.
>"I don't share your opinion, but I respect it and see where you're coming from."
After having said that, I proceed to cut all contact with that retard.
Elden Ring is literally unironically the greatest game ever created so yea its the best its has ever been. theres lots of trash too. but between Fromsoft and a few other japanese developers, video games never been better.
God bless the few lighthouse games we get every now and then. They keep us going as we traverse this shadow, the only thing that keeps us hanging on in these trying times. The only gamers who think gaming is good at the minute dont know how good it was, but I hope they live to see such times. I hope we all do.

A completely unremarkable year.
New games aren't better than older ones. You're just too used to seeing the world through your futurism goggles. You have a chrome-tinted view of the future, where all things new and recent look better in virtue of being shiny and promising and exciting, because of a lot of marketing buzz and emotionally charged internet discussion flooding your brain with dopamine. The "good times" you're projecting into the future and the now aren't real. You're jaded about the happier times past being gone forever, and escaping into a future you're pretending won't just be diminishing returns. You need to remove your futurism goggles and realise new and future games can't make you happier than games of the past. Shake off the chronically online mindset, make peace with finitude, and reconnect with your inner child. A game doesn't have to be brand new and propped up by hypersocial internet activity for you to enjoy it.
this shouldn't even need to be said here. What the fuck happened to this place? This is the same board that used to worship Planescape Torment and STALKER.

It is obviously meant to be sang to the tune of Happy Tree Friends' theme.

and thanks to gog old games can run great!

indie and AA games going strong

I played this earlier this year but it ran like dogshit. Is it playable now?
never had an issue on ps5.
from my experience its some hardware specific morony that koei will never fix cause its koei. mine ran perfectly for the first 40 hours

I do agree that gaming isnt "better than ever" or anything of that sort, but if 2023 didn't give you a SINGLE game you wanted to play, you need to find something else to do.
Adding AC6 to this list.
and removing RE4 remake.
RE4 Remake was good, I just didn't like the gay ass slow walking scene when Leon's holding Ashley towards the end of the game. Gameplay-wise, it felt great to play.
All of it is goyslop
you respond with that the earth is flat

God tier year in gaming.
oh yeah? name 10 games
>access to games has never been easier
>but the direction of gaming is going into the shitter
Something like that
Admit that there are in fact issues to be had such as soulless AAA slop, predatory microtransactions/lootboxes, and games not working as they should at launch, but don't be a fucking doomer either. Admit the good. Gush about the good games that have come out this year and why they're good.
>that pic
you just know they have a massive funko pop collection
it means you can still play that game from 1998 and 2002, while also streaming free content, porn, and movies on the same monitor. its tah future
you're serious? let me laugh even harder!
You know it's a really good year when people have to go back 20+ years to find a better one.
We've been drowning in good to great games this year and it's not done.
Doomers need to find a new hobby.
>you know it's really bad when people have to go back 20+ years to find anything good
ftfy
It's accurate if you think about indie games and the sheer volume of old gold you can play.
If they mean AAA you urinate in their eye and laugh.
I just agree and move on with my life, because at the end of the day I don't care about zoomermoron opinions enough to start a discussion over them. If they truly feel that way, they're a lost cause anyway.
Unironically 100% agree with them.

You take the zoomer's ipad away and watch as breaks down from not watching tiktok mush.
ER is not even the best FS game.
I just accept his opinion and make a mental note that he's an absolute fucking retard.
Games don't suck. It's your fucking miserable empty lives that suck.
>if you dont like absolute garbage then you hate everything
I'm playing Dragon Quest IV for the NES right now and having a blast. Have you tried deepthroating my cock?
>How do you respond to this without sounding like a bitter, out-of-touch boomer?
Why even bother? Nobody worth talking to actually believes this.
I don't bother talking to zoomers.
It's been a pretty good year, not gonna lie. Enjoy the summer while it lasts, kiddo, for the winter is coming.
God bless the few lighthouse games we get every now and then. They keep us going as we traverse this shadow, the only thing that keeps us hanging on in these trying times.

Well, if you think about it, all the old games from the golden ages are still playable and many still have active communities.

Good games that existed in the past still exist, so the concept is technically right. At least, for single player games.
Multiplayer gaming is fucked.

Just because some good games have come out doesn't mean the industry isn't suffering.
I can't believe gaming peaked int he 90s lmao
is this similar to one of those FAGGY YouTube Clickbait videos?
I think the only new game I played this year was Gal Guardians (formerly Grim Guardians). And Labyrinth of Galleria if that counts.
