old farts

check out the interview with the most legendary figure in shareware world



easily rival with JOHN CARMACK that they both used 2 jabbed each other in their games

Game now a day is

1. Micro transactions
2. Freemium games
3. Incomplete games
4. No single player games
5. ONLINE ALL THE TIME

#donedakwah

6. DRM that make game lag
7. mobile brainless

fixed

Not all bad though. If you stay on the AAA world, you're bound to find a few of these stuff on every release.
I don't play "big" games anymore, aside from the issue above, also because games are becoming excessively expensive.
Once upon a time, "pre-order" used to mean discounted price, now no more. Plus our currency exchange rate also gone bad...

If you want to find good games, stay away from big release titles, and dig into lesser known games.

my conclusion of old games vs new games and/or old movies vs new movies.

Old things have more "atmosphere" and "originality" compared to new things.

Especially the quality of background sound/music of old games will allow you to immerse more into the game where new games do not have.

ya ya come back to ao kek

Freespace 2 is my personal favorite.
Wished they made freespace 3

Heroes 3 might and magic>>>> 4567

Haha agreed

Compare movie classic like the godfather to like "infinity war"

Ptui

EA plans to remaster C&C series, sounds horror lol

sad thing is, being original these days are less inclined to sell

publishers would rather go for the safe approach that can guarantee return money

there was no "formula" back in the days.. the scene welcomes new things and so they pops up constantly

You have to remember, during the 90's;

game owner = game dev.

they didnt do it for the money, they do it for their passion of making games.

Now days, game owners are full of CEOs, fats cats that think of profits all the time instead of making quality games.

Remember Bullfrog and their games? Theme Hospital, Dungeon Keeper etc
Maxis? simtower, sim ants, simcity etc.

After EA bought them, the studios are dead.

Everything EA touches, dies

Bullfrog, Westwood, Origin, and recently Bioware.
