What is your most controversial opinion about video games (or at least controversial on Yas Forums)?
Games released after the mid-2000s are just fine. This board is just full of boomers who have nostalgia goggles for the games they played in their youth, and who are now jaded and hate everything, including all video games. The only video games they don't hate are from a time when they were happier.
Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal are good.
That's not controversial. Anyone who says no good games have been made past the 6th gen, period, is a fucking retard.
Doesn't change the fact the 7th generation introduced irreparable damage to the medium with exploitve paid DLC, Microtransactions, always online requirements, Service game, and homogenized design trends from Western AAAs aimed at appealing to the lowet-common-denominator.
*Service games
The vast majority of games prior to 4th gen are shit, and the ones that are good should be treated as a novelty.
OP is a zoomer who doesn't understand hyperbole. It's obvious to anyone with a functioning brain that posts saying all modern games are shit aren't meant to be taken literally.
Soulsborne games are ugly and boring and only get propped up for being difficult and having “deep” stories.
Yeah, I was gonna say something about that in the post. I'm very mixed on DLC. I think the further away from the original game release date and the more complete the "original game" feels, the more I'm okay with DLC. I just hate Day 1 DLC and on-disc DLC even more.
Also, I feel like a lot of the hatred towards modern games on this board is because of Western AAA games. As far as that goes, Western AAA games can be a bit of a mixed bag. Indie games and Japanese games are usually pretty solid though.
For some reason, I think of vidya as a waste of time, despite me doing a lot of activities in my life that are considered by others to be just as much of a waste of time, such as watching anime or being on this site. I still like and play vidya, but I always feel guilty about how much time I've put into a game once I've finished it. I don't feel like this when I finish some 24-episode anime that took me the same amount of time to finish that a video game would.
gacha games should be banned in all countries for exploiting a human weakness but they get a free pass for having cute girls
