What are all of the problems with modern games, Sup Forums?

Consoles

Not really. Steam is full of horrible games.

>DLC and microtransactions, were back to arcade days of nickel and diming only worse
>They're too easy and dumbed down, Mario games are harder than Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed
>Games are released in unfinished and unpolished states

The developers and publishers have no fucking clue on what makes a game good, and more often than not, they copy all the bad parts of a game, while completely ignoring the good ones.
And sometimes they take a mechanic that works in the particular game, but it's awful when out of context as well.

And the ball of mistakes accumulated and we have 40+ years of mistakes being applied like features in almost all games.

Steam is the console paradigm of the PC world.

Because of it we have fucking exclusives on what was supposed t be an opened platform.

kikes

You're an idiot.

>Exclusives
>Marketing

Letting people die in your prison then threatening the medical examiner cause you're an insane incompetent fuckhead who gives Milwaukee an even worse image.

overinflated marketing budget leads to absurdly unrealistic sales goals, which ends up in dumbed down games loaded with DLC to make up for the cost

...

Autosaves. This plagues all genres.

And you're miscarriage waste left to smear the world around you with every touch.
Who cares?

controls, interface and gameplay tailored for consoles.

People keep expecting pefection and too much out of games. Instead of just trying to find a way to enjoy said games, and to let others enjoy their games.

Stay on topic, please. Problems with games?

You're giving into OP's desire for discourse about topics that aren't videogame related.

>online paywalls for consoles
>cheat codes and unlockables are all but extinct
>day 1 DLC
>disk-locked content
>always-online DRM
>industry has this ongoing incestuous relationship with gaming journos and there is no end in sight to it
>entitled developers who do nothing but shit on their own fanbase and treat them like walking bags of cash (see Tecmo Koei, Arc System Works, etc)
>denuvo
>developers blaming consumers when their game turns out to be shit
>games with endings as DLC
>ARTISTIC INTEGRITY
>SJWs
>too much politicking

I think that about covers it.

Short answer: We demand more than we used to

Is that Based Milwaukee Co. Sherrif David Clarke? Hope he runs in 2024!

The problem is that there are no more heroes in gaming. When Rockstar sold out fans, they really sold out.

PC gaming had DECADES to evolve. Look at the state it's in. $400+ graphics cards are still a thing in 2017, while the performance greatly varies per game.

Mmm Cod4 and Portal are wonderful games

This image is dumb

Criminals deserve death.

>Letting people die in your prison
They shouldn't have committed a crime in the first place eh?

>$400+ graphics cards are still a thing in 2017
only if you're a 4k graphics whore, you were always able to get a budged midrange GPU and be fine, especially true nowadays when 90% of titles are multiplats and are therefore meant to run on toaster-tier console hardware

maybe play more games than just AAA titles? the vidya industry is bigger than it has ever been and has never been more diverse

>Dude just play some low quality indie game that utterly fails at imitating good games instead of having AAA devs make good games!!! XD

i'm assuming op's image is some sort of ebin reference?

>rush to release games to keep up with tons of titles released all the time
>lack of effort put into project with more budget going towards marketing which is a fuckload now
>games are focused more on making a sale rather than having a real story or solid gameplay, making one or the other suffer
>people keep starting political fires for each and every fucking game in a vicious cycle of nonsense
>Repitition of what's popular that copies rather than elaborates or fixes the base-title
>DLC + Microtransactions becoming more prevalent and proven successful in gambling logic
It's a mess.
