I can't count how many times I've seen kids insisting that "games have evolved so much!" to dismiss older games when the reality is that games if anything have actually gotten significantly dumber. Graphics and sound are more polished (not bringing art direction into it), but actual design has consistently devolved.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14624614486574035692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4520528486728008071.post-65745927013253545542023-03-12T12:13:48.840-04:002023-03-12T12:13:48.840-04:00MegaBusterSheapard.

JD has pointed this penchant whever he reviews the history of gaming.<br />The programmers in particular forgot about coding challenging but fun game mechanics and concentrate on movie grammar. Loom I like the immersive 3 worlds they've created but the game mechanics suck because they want Netflix contracts instead of just fun games.<br />xavierxavierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15924047562026242210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4520528486728008071.post-37354010732799579402023-03-12T10:35:47.789-04:002023-03-12T10:35:47.789-04:00Gosh yes.

Fast forward five years to the latest expansion, Lightfall, which is a Destiny skinsuit. Everything I loved about the game is gone. It's bad movies and busywork, like you said. Meanwhile, my son just showed me Dinkum, which is like Animal Crossing/Dragon Quest Builders, only set in Australia. I love indie games!Kessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15019626781634777336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4520528486728008071.post-65986857120833363842023-03-11T14:12:54.018-05:002023-03-11T14:12:54.018-05:00Oh yeah Capcom really knows how to kill the Golden...Oh yeah Capcom really knows how to kill the Golden Goose. Dead Rising, Lost Planet, Street Fighter, Resident Evil, Mega Man etc.... They've routinely destroyed their biggest series. It's like a game company full of Boomers or something.
