zone of the enders 2 was maybe one of the best mech games in space ever made, a notoriously crowded genre

The way averages work means games have always appealed to adults.

Does it? Because the average age of a gamer has gottnen older overtime with it being 19 25 years ago.

Zone of the Enders 2 is overrated. Like, it's a good yet forgettable game, but people act like it was the best game ever made and I just don't see it.

Zone of the Enders has that special place in fans' hearts as a franchise that never actually took off and stay long enough to have to withstand people developing better taste.

EDIT: Then again Kojima is still praised I think so I maybe vastly overestimating gamers here.

EDIT2: Speaking of Kojima, Death Stranding is going to be a trash fire unless you like lovely monkeycheese humor ruining the tone of the lovely dour writing.

Outpost was unfinished, but was pretty cool even in its broken state, and deserves a fixed open source clone.

If it was 19 25 years ago then it appealed to adults then too. Realize that an average of 19 means that either

mean: for every year a gamer is younger than 19, a gamer is older than 19 — meaning that 25 years ago when I was 11, somewhere out there was a 27 year old (or two 23year olds, or whatever) to counterbalance me

Or

median: for every gamer under 19 there is a gamer over 19, meaning >50% of gamers were adults even then.

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!
GTA 1 and 2 are the only good GTA games.

Hideo Kojima is completely tone deaf when it comes to writing.

Saints Row IV is the best open world game ever made.

What are you saying, intercutting your game with dull ramblings on some totally fascinating concept you read about on wikipedia once doesn't mean it has deep visionary themes??

I still have no idea why game makers feel the need to hide content behind literal dozens of hours of grinding. Oh, you want that cool new moveset? Well, you'll have to use the starter move set for 20+ hours of game time until you have completely "mastered" it (read: filling up an arbitrary usage bar) before you can try the new set out.

I think I like GTAIV more than GTAV. I think the story and characters are more interesting right off the bat, it's not as self-aware, I do actually like the car handling more and Liberty City feels like it has a lot more character than Los Santos. Liberty City neighborhoods felt more real to me.

Both games suffer, though, from a lot of real estate but not a lot of interiors to explore, though.

Because then the game won't have +30 hours of "content" and 15-year-old aspies are going to dogpile your game.

in traditional RPGs it's about a sense of progression and character building usually alongside a narrative but this all goes out the window with MMOs where you've got thousands of players racing to skip all the content as fast as possible and arbitrary timesinks become a tool of game balance
