Hey peeps, hope you’re doing well and life is good. This blog I’ll be talking about something I wanted to get off my chest. And this is basically what I think and more power to you if you disagree. But I have to say this.
This is a long time coming. I feel like I have to say it. This is what my blogs are going to be about. Me saying my opinions. I know I’ll have naysayers and ppl who disagree with me. But that’s more power to them. But this is how I feel. Better let it out than in. So here we go
Video games these days sucked!!!
Now it’s not to every game out there. There’s still good games now & then. Like God Of War, Spider-Man, etc. But these days it’s pretty piss poor. So many games nowadays is online multiplayers with so much pay to win mechanics that it kills the fun of video games. Like I just hate what video games are becoming.
Every game nowadays is all live services and grindyness on purpose so you pay more to play the fucking game & it keeps going like a vicious circle. Where’s the joy in that? I don’t get it. Why is it every game these days is basically a bank robber holding a gun to your money, demanding more money. Is that what video games are these days? Makes me sick.
Whatever happen to buy the game and enjoy it? Sure there’s a small few who still do that. Like God Of War, Spider-Man, Nintendo games and some Indie games. But it’s getting rarer these days. And all the top selling games are these fucking battle royale games that are repetitive in nature but ppl are addicted to it. I played it to see for myself and it’s pretty shit but more power to ppl who do enjoy these games somehow. I’ll take games like God Of War over Fortnite any day.
I hate it’s all going to this direction. It’s like pro wrestling. I haven’t watched it in years cause I hate it and see the flaws clearly. I used to be until it was doing the wrong things and it was not enjoyable to watch. It was boring, repetitive, mediocre, insulting my intelligence, etc imo it was junk, pure junk. So I stop watching it. I’ve moved on. I enjoy combat sports as replacements like Boxing & MMA. I’m becoming more into watching films & TV now since video games are becoming pretty cunty. Especially the AAA companies like EA, Activision, Bethesda, 2K, WB Games, Ubisoft, etc. All of these companies are basically making these shite online games for money, nothing else. And tbh it is pissing me off. I got this meme here...
This proves one of my points. Back in the 00’s we had sooo many awesome games coming out left & right. None of them had micro transactions, loot crates, season passes, etc. While the two Battlefront games that EA made had so much of those that it made those games pure shite. And we got so many shite games now. Fallout 76 shite, Battlefield 5 shite, FIFA shite, so on & so on. A lot of them are repetitive and boring to play. And I know ppl love those games cause it’s better with friends. But here’s my point I want to make. If you & friends jump of a cliff and hurt yourself badly, would that be fun cause you’re with friends? If they dare you to drink piss and they do & you all puke ur guts out, would that be fun cause “it’s fun with friends”? No it won’t. Cause you may be on a wheelchair or in jail cause ur stupid to do that. That’s why I hate fail videos. It’s basically everything I hate about ppl. Stupid ppl doing stupid things and it’s famous. Like wtf is going on? How is stupidity winning, while proper good hard working ppl get fuck all. Also there’s a lot of great games that are overlooked or shafted cause they don’t have multiplayer. That breaks my heart. It kinda makes me question ppl’s taste. But more power to ppl. I just don’t get it and I never will. But I’ll be playing my retro games. And collect them.
Yeah it’s just breaks my fucking heart that video games are becoming this way currently. Greed over gameplay, quantity over quality, pay to win over buy it once & enjoy the experience. What is going on?
I love video games so I really don’t like where it’s heading. I know I’ll have ppl disagreeing with me and I’m not expecting this blog to be popular or well liked. But this is how I feel about one of my favourite hobbies. But I’m confident that I have more ppl agree with me than the naysayers think. There’s plenty of ppl who are feeling the same as me. Especially in my personal life. A lot of my friends agree it’s becoming more like glorified gambling machines in disguise these days. Well I won’t be buying these games and I’m not even pre ordering anymore. Hell I haven’t pre ordered in ages. No one should especially since their release in a broken, buggy state like Fallout 76. Best to wait it out. And you’ll get games cheaper that way.
But I’m not in a rush. Sure there’s a few good games coming out but I rather wait it out than buy it now. Especially since games are too expensive these days. I can’t afford it. It’s more cheaper to get a Blu Ray, subscribe to Netflix, etc.
If I was a PC gamer I would wait for the Stream deals cause you save so much cash it’s unreal. But a lot of games these days aren’t worth playing. Too greedy, unfun and pure rubbish. And I hate ppl are defending this crap. Like this is normal now. I hate this is normal. Back in the day it was normal to get great games left & right. I grew up loving every game coming out. It was great times and I’m sticking to those games. If games these days are just glorified gambling live service multiplayer esports games then keep it. I don’t want it. Like fail videos and most of YouTube these days. You can keep it. More power to you.
I’ll be right here. Enjoy the PS3, Xbox 360, PS2, PS1, Nintendo and single player games. Even a few current games. Like the new Metro game perhaps but it’ll be later rather than sooner.
I do love it if video games was back to giving us awesome games left & right and we just pay it & enjoy it.
I’m not a anti multiplayer guy. Yous probably think that by reading this blog but I enjoy multiplayer as an extra feature with friends locally. Hate everything has to be online. Imo it encourages ppl to be lazy and anti social. I rather have a local multiplayer day with mates. Have a few laughs and all that face 2 face. Without phones. Just us playing superb games. Like Goldeneye as an example or Super Smash Bros or Mario Kart. Those were the days. Now I feel like the magic is gone due to laziness and greed. I know I’m coming off as a negative prick but this is how I feel. I don’t like the way video games is heading. So of course I’m saying how I feel cause I love video games. I care.
I do want it to be better for everyone. Imo right now, this is definitely not the way. Hopefully it will change. Like I said I’m not alone in this opinion of mine so I’m confident that more ppl will see that this is not ok and stop buying it & buy retro games instead. The days when it was awesome all the time. It’s growing.
I just want good games that I’ll buy & enjoy. Not buy & keep buying, is that too much to ask?
Anyway I hope you like my blog about my little statement on my views on current video games. As a gamer I have to say what’s in my mind. Get it off my chest and feel like I do. If you disagree, that’s fine. It’s just my opinion. Just take this blog with a grain of salt. Like I said more power to you. 😊
Whatever you agree or disagree thank you for reading this blog. It does mean a lot to me. Yous are the best. So until the next blog take care, much love and make video games great again. Buy it & play it for the right reasons.
