Why modern gaming sucks? As games became more mainstream, they switched from being about challenging skill-based games to more easily consumed "everyone's a winner" cinematic games. Its not that old style games aren't being made anymore, its just that they have been eclipsed by the sheer amount of new money coming in and the desire to cater to that market (read: chase them dollars). Hell, we're undergoing another new wave right now with mobile. Its filled with people who will shell out tons of cash for even shittier forms of gaming than before (if you can even call them that at that point). But yeah. There are still devs that do still make actual games, you just gotta look for them. Some recent examples: Nintendo is still largely as Nintendo as you remember. buy the game, put it in the slot, then play. Though with the Wiiu they added that patching thing but its not obnoxious like the other consoles. if you stay offline it wont bother you about patching if you don't wanna wait the 10-15 minutes it takes. if you buy digital it does it all in one shot.On top of that Nintendo games are still pretty damned high quality (even if they are bland/tired) and they've been making efforts the past few years to branch out with quality first, second, and third party games (Splatoon, Xenoblade, Bayonetta, The Wonderful 101,etc). You got devs like Platinum Games and From Software carrying the torch and making the quality gameplay based games you remember. Indies are a mixed bag (mostly filled with crap) but there are some legit good games coming out from those devs of all different game types. If you're nostalgic for it, someone's made a lovely clone of it. Jrpgs seem to be coming back in style this year. Even square-enix seems to be getting their heads out of their asses. You know they are serious when they let the SaGa guy out of his cage. Crpgs are coming back in a big way too~. and the list goes on! In short, to enjoy gaming these days, you gotta put more work and shovel through tons of poo poo. Worst case you could just go back and play old games. You got GoG, Emulators, and old hardware as choices. There's tons of classics you've missed and can enjoy. So buck up and get to having fun, OP.

Your Rain posted:you sound like a huge gaylord who actually plays retarded anime games shut up If Revengeance and Bayonetta are retarded anime games, then I would like the be crowned as the gay queen of Spain. My first decree: Commission 3 ships, the Niņa, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria, and send them to explore the new world of Uranus. On that note, I've yet to play a Platinum Game I haven't enjoyed. Though, I really want to see them branch out from making character action games. Vanquish was great and Infinite Space was pretty sweet.
