They don't actually enjoy the hobby, if they did they wouldnt silo themselves into a specific game they prefer or like, gaming is diverse and for different tastes - if it evolved past your liking there will always be games that cater to that but far and few between, you'll have to deal with it or pick a hobby where you aren't as picky about everything.I think it’s fair to complain about a hobby you spend a lot of time on while still enjoying the hobby at large.
I would think the people who enjoy the hobby the most are also the most likely to be extra critical towards it.
Does that make you a fat ass who can't turn down rotten banana peels in the trash? Just because some don't like the current spate of most aaa games, doesn't mean we hate all games, just the ones you like, apparently.They don't actually enjoy the hobby, if they did they wouldnt silo themselves into a specific game they prefer or like, gaming is diverse and for different tastes - if it evolved past your liking there will always be games that cater to that but far and few between, you'll have to deal with it or pick a hobby where you aren't as picky about everything.
It's like being a foodie but you only like sushi and nothing else. Are you actually a foodie?
Possibly, but that’s totally subjective. Many gamers thought the same thing last year and probably the year before and there were so many disappointing games released last year, it was frightening. I think the reason people vent on the current state of gaming a little more often now is because they hate to see their favorite hobby change for the worst courtesy of soulless, greedy corporations with no imagination or respect for what used to be considered art.its the same opinion over again though, AAA games suck because of this this and this. we get a 'gaming is dead/sucks/awful' thread every other month. it's confusing when we're currently gonna be getting one of the best years in a while
Sure, why not? You can eat sushi and still have an interest in other foods, try new stuff even though you probably won’t enjoy them and know a lot about food, chefs, ingredients, restaurants etc. etc. as a subject.It's like being a foodie but you only like sushi and nothing else.

Lot of the most anticipated games from last year were delayed to 2023. you can see this now with how packed January and Febuary were.Many gamers thought the same thing last year and probably the year before and there were so many disappointing games released last year, it was frightening.
Yea, critical opinions like..."this game has 79 on Metacritic so it sucks" or "this game is on Gamepass so it's AA/Indie trash"People are allowed to have critical opinions as long as they can explain it lol.
I sometimes lurk on Reddit's PatientGamers sub to see people's opinions on older games. The most frustrating thing to read on a "patient" sub is about people who constantly pop up and whine about not having time to play as they are now adults and have children and demanding jobs. Or don't feel like playing and thinking that's because they are now getting old.
I wonder how many people create threads and whine about their adult lives on camping forums. "Oh I don't have time like you guys, I'm so busy". I mean, then do something else with your life if you don't have time for it or don't enjoy it.
End of rant. I just don't get some people who feel like they are forced to enjoy a hobby. I have phases when I don't listen to much music or watch movies, so I do something different until I feel like jumping in again.
I skipped the PS3 and PS4 era as they didn't offer me enough to buy a console. But now with the PS5 there's a big enough library of remakes and backwards compatible games that I felt like buying it. Sometimes you need to let parts of a hobby rest until they are worth pursuing again.
wtf are you talking about.Does that make you a fat ass who can't turn down rotten banana peels in the trash? Just because some don't like the current spate of most aaa games, doesn't mean we hate all games, just the ones you like, apparently.
Nah, what makes no sense is the "quit gaming if you don't like what I like" shtick. It's just low effort trolling.wtf are you talking about.
They're objectively not bad games, but the people who make those threads say it like they are.
Your analogy makes no sense.
You nitpicked one portion of what my point was...it's not a schitck, it's more like stop complaining all the time that games don't fit in your specific box.Nah, what makes no sense is the "quit gaming if you don't like what I like" shtick. It's just low effort trolling.
We had Harry Potter games, spider man games, street fighter games and resident evil games back in the PSX. this is hardly a great defense of where innovation went in this industry...Man why do people always make these threads? At this point this place feels more like a place to vent at this point
"ahh gaming sucks because blah blah long dev times blah blah mtx blah blah woke"
it's crazy how yall motherfuckers are upset when we got Elden Ring last year and you're gettting Hi Fi Rush, Hogwarts, Street Fighter 6, Resi 4 Remake, Spiderman 2 and more this year. This year looks to be a return to form with how much original cool shit is coming out, as much as AAA usually sucked in the past we're getting better shit now and 2023 seems like the year that the 2020s turn around as a decade when it comes to gaming
I feel like the people who make these types of threads here aren't even here because they like video games. It's just nothing but skeptics and cynics trying to make everyone feel just as upset as they are. There are other hobbies out there if youre so disillusioned, try those out and come back at a later time.
Why is anyone getting "fucked in the ass"? If a particular game isn't what you want, don't buy it.Just because you like getting fucked in the ass by modern gaming *cough* suicide squad* cough*, doesn't mean everyone needs to be fine and dandy about it. Sure Japan is great as always, but that doesn't mean western AAA gaming is in a great place.
Simply put, yet very on point.Gaming is great. AAA gaming on the other hand...
