did I mention that the buttons on the right aren't really buttons but instead like a half section of the dpad that you rock back and forth to hit (and which also stab you)?

I am old enough and manly enough to now admit that I think a lot of games are poo poo simply because my skill at gaming is poo poo now compared to my younger years.

I still consistently score high at Titanfall 2 so my reflexes aren't totally shot, but my ability to string combos in fighting games has taken a real dive. Fortunately, Car Combat is barely even a genre anymore so I don't have to come to terms with how bad at it I might be from old age...but when I was 13 I was loving legendary level good at Twisted Metal 2 and it was awesome.

More specifically it's the Squeenix's dedicated franchise assassination studio. Some of the animations I've seen from it rival Mass Effect Andromeda in...quality.

I have no problem with the difficulty of games and I question these men who say their "videogame skills" have degraded to such a point that they struggle with "modern gaming" because of "age" Did your drat fingers rot off, did your mind get senile? What the hell Like okay if you're 70+ but I hear this bullshit from men in their 30's. What the hell have you done to your body and mind where "modern games" become too difficult for you to do

As an adult with disposable income, nah, I've got way more options than practising video games.

As you get older, you have less time to play games, and you might be less patient with needing to practice and get good at a game before you get to "the real stuff," I guess. I'm 32 and I'm probably better at video games than I've ever been, possibly because I'm a little more patient with myself when I fail at stuff these days and it helps me improve. But I also probably spend more of my free time playing games than most other guys my age. If I spent less time playing games I might feel like taking the time to improve at the games I play isn't worth it if it means I could use that time to instead play a wider variety of games.

Not my opinion, but I have a friend who swears that GTA Online is the best thing that Rockstar has done and he loves the service model. I asked him what he thinks about having to pay or grind out the equivalent of 50 dollars for a new vehicle and he doesn't mind it. I think he is out of his mind.

I asked him what he thinks about having to pay or grind out the equivalent of 50 dollars for a new vehicle and he doesn't mind it. Does he play many other games? One reason why games like FIFA can get away with having "grind forever or pay up" models is because a lot of people who play them play them as their Main Game. The same is true for a lot of gacha mobile games. If you only really play one game most of the time, and you don't buy new games very often, it's a lot easier to justify spending additional money on that game. That sort of "lifestyle game" thing is why so many lovely gacha phone RPGs can rake in piles of cash just by releasing JPEGs of anime girls that you gamble for. I suspect GTA Online is doing a similar thing: its long-term players likely play mostly GTA Online, so spending more money on it isn't a huge deal. (Games like this can also prey on our loss aversion--if you've spent like $1000 on GTA Online, it's going to be harder to quit because you keep thinking about that sunk cost, even just subconsciously.)

MMOs definitely paved the way, but things like GTA Online and FIFA go even further (at least in the West--a lot of Eastern MMOs are even crazier on the monetization front). The real thing that baffles me is the popularity of pay-to-win phone games, but at this point I've read enough articles about people who literally only play one game and so are fine shoveling money into it to know that I'm just never going to really understand.

Games can send addictive personalities into overdrive, leading to so-called "whales" (term borrowed from gambling, a polite word for gambling addict). Free-to-play profit models are driven by whales. https://www.swrve.com/company/press/swrve-finds-015-of-mobile-gamers-contribute-50-of-all-in-game-revenue Consumers have only pushed back against this as it made its way into AAA gaming and became obnoxious to the point that developers have walled most of their not-free-to-play game off behind gambling systems.

I’ll watch some more YouTubes of it before I buy it. Hard to believe the animations are worse than andromeda’s though. Those were probably the worst I’ve ever seen from a triple A game.

Even if they remove the gambling aspect people will still fork over a shitload of money on microtransaction in sports games. I mean sports culture is treating people like a commodity so its just kind of a natural fit for fans to fork over money for a player and the buying and selling of people in game is a huge part of why people even play. Sports fans in general have a lot more levers you can pull to get to their wallet. Its real lovely but i dont see it ever really changing for sports which sucks because they are the best games.
