AAA gaming is dead. Stop getting excited because of expensive ad campaigns; if it's good you'll hear about it a few weeks, or more like a few days, after launch. If it's not, give it three years and then check reviews, it might be halfways decent by the time it's finished, and it'll be a fraction of the price to top it off.

I've had one experience that was a huge exception to this. One day a few years ago, I decided to get Far Cry 5 on a whim. Never had played a Far Cry game before, but decided to go for it. I was blown away, and was LOVING it. Got about halfway through the game, was super invested and raring to go, and then the third party cloud service just... lost my save. Didn't realize it was ONLY on that third party service, and no matter how many times I tried to find the save on my computer or troubleshoot, it seemed to just have NO record of my save. So I quit playing it to this day. It was such a melancholy experience- finally, I find a modern AAA game that I'm really into and having legitimate fun with like I used to with new games, but because of the modern AAA method used to store saves, my game was just suddenly... lost. So even when the AAA experience pays off, it seems the AAA experience gets right in the way. To this day, that remains one of the single biggest disappointments I've ever had in gaming. I could hardly imagine something like that happening for that kind of reason in an old school or indie game. Not necessarily because they didn't have the tech, but because they would never risk that kind of liability with people's saves and gaming experiences just to hold the rights to it themselves.

As a guy who grew in the late 1990's and the 2000's, games became too much of the same. I remember going to GameStop where there would be a variety of games to pick. There was also the convenience of just putting the disc into the console and you'll play the game within minutes. Installing a game could take hours depending on your circumstances.

God bless you

my biggest reason for giving up on games is because it feels like a chore. so many games have implemented the battle pass system and other features to keep you coming back. back then, i didnt realize it but the sense of completion was extremely important. now i know that even if i finish the available content, they'll just put out a new season with more content and you'll have to put in more and more hours of grinding to get everything. it all feels like a chore. i used to want to play these games, and now there's a feeling of "i HAVE to play it" if that makes sense. why would i grind for hours to get the newest weapon if it will be outclassed or obsolete by the time the new season comes around with cooler, better weapons. it makes the grind seem pointless to me. and everyone can agree that the implementation of microtransactions have put a sour taste in our mouths in regards to the gaming industry for many, many years now. i remember coming back from school, the movies, or basketball practice and seeing the gamefly envelope with a new game i rented and i was HYPED. i would spend all night that game through its entirety and have a blast. nothing else could bring me that kind of enjoyment at that time. i havent had a feeling like that batman arkham knight and uncharted 4. i will say that from what i can see, nintendo continues to make games that put fun and enjoyment first. if i was gonna invest in playing games again, i would get a nintendo switch. but chances are that wont happen anytime soon now that life has been consumed by the responsibilities of being an adult. time management has led to me cutting out one of my biggest pleasures in life being video games. it was necessary since i knew games just did not hit the same anyore like optimus said in the video. i have to focus on college, family, friends, girlfriend, and my wellness. dont have time like i did during my childhood. this was a long tangent but here's the tldr for people who didnt want to read through it all. TLDR: games today with their battle pass systems, seasonal updates, and additional content make playing games feel like a chore more than anything. there is little to no sense of completion when you know there will be something new to come afterwards. this is one of the main reasons why i dont have a love for games anymore.

I think we’ve fallen really away from high quality individual games nowadays. I think it’s mainly contributed by the fact that now with the PS5 and Xbox One X that run SSDs with insanely quick load times it makes gamers more excited about flipping from one game to the next instead of staying hooked on one individual game. I haven’t seen many games within the last 2-3 years that have hooked me like the greats of the past and i think it’s more about quantity (remakes, repetitive multiplayer concepts and adaptations) over original quality that solely focuses on the game’s own uniqueness.

Games feel over developed but also soulless and unoriginal. There was a game on steam called scram. It was like an infection game with a helicopter you had to get to and money system for better guns.

Indie games are the old AAA. Pioneering and trying new concepts for the gaming industry. These days, AAA have their series and either they just keep adding to it or they just re-release again and again

This whole thing really depends on how long you’ve been playing video games. For most of us 2007-2012 was the golden age of gaming but for younger kids this is probably their golden age of gaming. We all loved Halo 3, and all the good times we had with friends and all that. Games like Fortnite are probably the newer generation of kids’ Halo 3. We experienced gaming evolve to impossible heights and over the years less things reach those heights. A lot of us are just now jaded cynics who have already seen gaming evolve to impossible heights while others are experiencing this kind of thing for the first time. I’ve had several games that have blown me away over the years (mainly singleplayer stuff) but I wasn’t playing games in the era of Black Ops 2 and GTA 5, I also go through stages of addiction. Also the aim of companies has changed because they’ve found their formula for making stuff. It’s mostly no longer about innovation but money. This mostly applies to multiplayer games for me.

I understand when you mentioned about newer generation liking how the games are right now but for me who is kinda stuck in the past and was born 06, I love the games around 90's to 2000's. I never love the games such as Apex or shooting games since it doesn't gives me the vibes of what I've used to play. I love Minecraft but it doesn't feel the same as I grew older. So I stopped playing all of that and switch to anime games more than the what the world's loved. Sure anime games are the same but they at least have nostalgia points if you're a huge fan of anime since childhood. Like for example, do you love Kamen Rider? For me, yes. I want to play to it again. What about other games like psp? Yes. I love gaming, but not like in the phone. Saying all of this, it just flows the old memories that I used to play.

This is the key. At some point there is the industry feeling same old same old but there is a certain responsibility on some types of dudes who are to lazy to actually look far and wide for decent games. Goes for even modern stuff. The industry isnt taking as much chances as its used to ..but so are gamers these days with not wanting to feel like they wasted money on new games that didn't meet expectations.

The last thing I "Enjoyed" from a relatively new game was that mission in the newest Modern Warfare where you raid a house in London, it felt nice to methodically move from room to room and there were a bunch of "Easter Eggs" for shooting or not shooting people, you could even stop one of your men from getting shot if you were savvy enough... Everything since then an pretty much everything before for the last 4 years has been pretty boring.

I remember back in middle school i would stay all night playing minecraft in my friend’s server, we would be talking and discussing on planning our new village, he would use plugins to make “plots” like in real world residential complex that makes people unable to build until they buy the plot with server currency, we had a whole economy there! I would go and gather rare items for enchantment and potion ingredients to sell for in-server currency, i can even sell cakes very well. There was also a time where we would install industrial mod in the server, we built a nuclear reactor and a working factory I wish i could go back and play with them again

I remember getting "Zelda: Link to the Past" and the excitement that I felt playing through the first time. I saved my money back then as a kid and it was money well worth it. I haven't felt that kind excitement for a game since then, even tho I have enjoyed games since then, but it's not the same. Maybe it is because I'm adult now with other priorities.

I do think it’s a bit of a nostalgic aura around gaming, too. We’re basically the first generation to grow up with gaming(the way it is now) with massive multiplayer games that everyone played. That was a golden age for gaming and just as people grow up they stop playing due to time, and I think that the best games are the ones we played as kids and early teens, maybe even HS

I'm 29 and I'll be honest... 100% not the golden age of gaming unless you mean PS2/360 era. I'm not saying that from nostalgia either. After that era is where games started to take less risks. And I really don't think growing up is part of it. I really think it just comes down to not playing a variety of games. After reading the comments of this video a lot of people have just kind of stuck to the same genre and that's it. Of course it will get stale if you just keep playing the next shooter that comes out.

It is a bit harder to get "lost" in a video game like we used to when we were kids, but unfortunately despite the advances games have made graphically, we lose the immersion when games are unfinished and released broken. And to top it all off it keeps happening. The hype around Cyberpunk for example was us hoping that for once in a long time, a game could make us all feel the way we did when we were young... Oopsies.

The games who introduced me to the gaming world were Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City and Zuma's revenge. Good times... The games who still hit the same on pc rn, or at least for me, are Skyrim and Minecraft, but only once every 5-6 months for 2-3 weeks.

If games are feeling stale, what I decided is to for the most part, stay mostly away from online multiplayer (although I’ve been having fun with splitgate) and focus on single player experiences. Zelda games, platformers like hollow knight and Celeste, games that aren’t all about shooting the other 14 year olds and winning. You just gotta get invested in the game you are playing, more so than play the game because you wanna get those levels up.

I wasn't interested in any new games at all up until I first played through the witcher 3. Was so blown away by the experience, I haven't stopped playing since 2017. Then I bought the witcher 1 and 2, both amazing games, now I'm reading the novels, which are also amazing. The music inspired me to write more music of my own, the lore of the world boggled my mind and still does, and the atmosphere and characters have helped me through some tough times I won't lie. That is how good video games can be, and should at least try to be. I remember the first time I played gta san andreas with my friend at his house on ps2, and flying all around the map on this tiny crt tv, being blown away by the freedom the game gave you. And all the wicked racing games from the ps2 through to the ps3/360 era, nfs most wanted, nfs carbon, midnight club 2 and 3, fuel, dirt, the burnout series, games i sunk hours and hours into, and they always hit, as you say. I agree with you in the sense that I'm constantly going back to older games for higher quality entertainment, I'm not interested in new releases at all, they cost far too much money, the download sizes are absolutely massive, and in a lot ways, despite the fact I am now primarily a PC gamer, I miss the days of going to a store, buying a game that had wicked artwork, and popping the disc into the console and it loading up straight away. Also loved how many new games were coming out. Rockstar haven't released a midnight club game since LA, and persist with making arbitrary online content for GTA 5 online, and instead of developing a new GTA, they're remastering the 3d trilogy (which don't get me wrong looks cool). No new games, just microtransactions, online rubbish. And then when developers do release new games, they tend to be unfinished, buggy laughing stocks that end up constantly being inundated with new patches and updates.

Great video and it really hit home. I'm 54 and have been a gamer all my life. I started with Atari 2600 and graduated to an Apple IIe. From there went to super nintendo then playstation I and II. Before computers got really big in the 2000's, I still was mostly outside with my friends. I'm now divorced and my kids have grown and are out of the house and my main form of entertainment is gaming on my PC. I don't play consoles anymore, PC ftw! However, for the past 3+ years, I stopped getting excited about playing games and it has bothered me greatly since it's what I like to do. I've bought games and they sit in my Steam library untouched - games in the past I would have been chomping at the bit to play and now I couldn't even be bothered. I think it's mostly that I'm older now which is sad. Here is my list of things that I don't like about current games: 1) Most games that I like to play today require me to spend literal hours researching how to play on the internet. There are no more game manuals. The games have become so complex. 2) Early access - I know I could just wait for the full version to come out but these companies want me to pay full or near full price to help them beta test. 3) I miss owning a physical copy of the game. If you are on Steam or one of those, you don't really own the game - you paid a fee to be able to use THEIR game. 4) So many controls to worry about. I usually spend an hour remapping all the keys on my keyboard just to be able to play 5) Nothing new and exciting. The thrill is gone, I've seen it all. One of my favorites was Skyrim but if a new Skyrim came out, what could it possibly have that would excite me? Anyway, great video, glad I'm not the only one!

I graduated high school pretty recently and I know the exact feeling of gaming falling off and yearning for the early days when I had no idea how any of it worked and just enjoyed it. The novel, unfamiliar technology and uniqueness of every game I had is what really struck home gaming as something that I knew I would never put down. It's a shame I've had to revert to those older games to feel that same way tbh. Best we can ALL do is hope that the future holds something greater, especially if right now is the low point.

I feel this, I’ve been avoiding online gaming since 2018. Everything is pay to win or you need to spend extra 50/60 to get the rest of the expansion or the new outfit or whatever. I don’t have the time to be sweating 8+ hours a day which makes me not much of a match against certain people especially noticing that on fortnite when I tried to build a box to realise the other guy has built a fortress in 0.2 seconds. Everything is really competitive and money focused so I tend to avoid that now. The single player games is more my vibe and that’s all I’ve mainly been playing but even with them I’m starting to lose interest as they are also either unfinished, want more money on top for the extras or just repetitive.

I think Genshin Impact is a good game, if you don't mind getting that specific character or at least not using money, the combat and exploration are fun and the scenarios are beautiful, the lore is incredible but the story itself is okay.

One huge thing that has been lost with video games is the sense of immersion we used to get. Look at WaW compared to CoD WWII. In WaW you started off as a POW being tortured then you get saved and the Marine looks you in the eyes, grabs your hand, pulls you to your feet, hands you a 1911 and says “Grab a rifle” then there are things like the clip of the Soviet soldier planting the USSR flag on top of the Reichstag at the end. They didnt filter the imagery. They used raw footage from WWII in the game. The games today are simply too vanilla. Idk maybe Im just a boomer or something.

I feel you on this. I think a big part is the gaming industry. They don't care about keeping great features fans love anymore since their main goal isn't their fans anymore. Their main goal is money and researching algorithms that makes people stay playing or buying items. So now a lot of bs that would of been free costs money. The soul of the devs is gone. Gaming is lonely now. Especially with COD. No theater mode? So no striving for cool clips to share with your friends and show off to new friends and community on KZread. Lobbies disband so now you can't even make friends anymore. No unique user customization like emblems. No striving for that cool looking calling card that you can only get by getting 1,000 throwing knife kills because it doesn't exist and also the only cool things cost real money. No casual and competitive playlist like league play. So now SBMM takes away the relaxing fun and you don't have the option to get serious and play ranked or league play. You're right about growing up too. Before almost everyone you knew was playing at the exact same time you were but now we have responsibilities and different schedules and life's. I've been gaming with the same people since PSP but now I never have a full party and when like 2 of us are online we play for like 1 hour. I used to strive for clips, high kd ect. Now most of the time I don't even play with my headset. If your friends aren't online you can't even talk to anyone on COD for more than 1 game.

Last prime years of video games was 2010-2013 We had: black ops 1 and 2, Minecraft console edition, gta 5, gears of war 3, halo reach. And probably more I can’t think of right now

I am 50 :) and I really did not start playing online games until I was 36 years old. I had a blast getting on with my 2 boys and brothers. Always had 3 Xbox 360's or 3 PS4's in the house. We had a room set up for gaming. Will always remember those times with my boys. Now we all have PS5's. The kids have all grown up and now are adults but the consoles keep us in touch and it is more of bonding time between me, my boys, nephews, brothers and other great friends. I had always played COD, then transferred my interest into Battlefield starting with Bad Company 1. Back in 2014 we all REALLY got into Destiny and Destiny 2. I have slowed down with that and skipped the last season. We are all really jacked up about BF 2042 for sure. Excited for that release on 11/12/21.

I totally get how you feel. The best advice I'd have is to expand your scope. I've spent countless hours playing old classic I never played before like system shock, bioshock, half life, deus ex, etc and been floored with the tens of thousands of good indie games.

i feel like every game is just the same: load in, buy the battle pass/prompted to the item shop, play for xp and complete challenges, and if there’s a ranked mode it’s an ELO ranking system where you play 10 games for your placement.. no diversity (as for multiplayer)

Ok, two points: (1.) This lack of diversity is caused by the fact that these systems are the" Tried and True" parts of gaming that netted companies tons of money, leading other companies to apply the systems. Unfortunately, the Battle Pass/Item shop systems don't seem to be going anywhere soon due to this factor... (2.)

Optimus definitely is projecting a little here but hey we’ve all done it.

You’re definitely not alone on this. Me and my friends are always talking about the good ole days of gaming and how much fun we used to have. I feel like as I’ve gotten older games have just gotten worse. Idk if it’s because of poor development or if I’ve kinda just grown out of gaming. I will say theres like one game every year that I find really good and brings me back to that feeling of gaming when I was younger, but for the most part it just doesn’t hit the same anymore.

Maybe try having a look at indie games as well as the handful of middle market titles from publishers like Focus, 505, Deep Silver, Bandai Namco etc. Tastes change as you grow older which is why I like a much broader range of games than I did 10 years ago.

Yeah it’s kinda like a self awareness you know? You can’t immerse yourself in a game or gaming in general cause it just doesn’t hit the same

I remember when I bought gta 4 for the first time and had to get a new sound card and graphics card for my pc and playing that game at 14 FPS was one of my most memorable moments in my life. Before that there was vice city, San Andreas, max Payne 1&2, mortal Kombat and other such games that I was mesmerized by and then I got a ps3. This was also one of my fondest memories. I finally got to play gta 4 at a decent frame rate and was introduced to call of duty. None of my friends had a ps3 so they would come over to my house and we would just play split screen for hours and we would scream and laugh as hard as we could. Life was great back then and I remember when I got my Alienware computer and my ps4 was not nearly as exciting as it was with my older gaming memories. Although I did put a lot of time into some of the games on the ps4, when I think about them now, I have nearly no fond memories that I might keep for the rest of my life. It just didn’t impact me the same way anymore. Even the great games like the last of us, God of war, uncharted and so on. I really loved those games but they just haven’t stuck to me like the older ones did. I don’t know if it’s just me growing up or if games have just gotten boring now. It saddens me that my favorite hobby might no longer be a hobby for me at all in a few years if this continues.

i see how u feel im one of those people that really enjoy modern games like new cods fortnite ( dont bully me) valorant and im 14 so i can prob say im one of those sweaty kids in ur games but to me that is fun but i totaly understand how u feel and since the majority of players are around my age they make the games for people our age more due to it giving them more money, and a big reason people try now is because people realized how much u can gain from this. btw i love ur vids man makes me understand how u guys feel about games good to see both sides

I used to play games all the time, but when I got older, more life opportunities and activities became tangible. Pretty soon, gaming was more of an afterthought. Plus the only games I'll play nowadays are retro and indie games.

This is the first video of yours I’ve seen, you seem very level headed and good at analysing the past and present

I appreciate the fact you aren't in denial about the reason you enjoyed gaming as a kid and the state the industry is in unlike a lot of other KZreadrs with videos about this topic. That being said I still think there's more you can do to attempt to enjoy gaming more. From your video I could tell you, primarily, focused on FPSs, have you thought about trying out more RPGs than just Pokemon? While multiplayer experiences with your friends is usually always a good time depending on the group, there are plenty of amazing single player experiences to be had; and not just a single player campaign included with a multiplayer game. You also mentioned you really enjoyed the 3D Mario platformers, have you looked into other 3D platformers as well? What about 2D platformers? I think it's awesome that FPSs were able to keep you excited about video games for as long as they have, but there are plenty of genres of video games out there that might better suit your current self than they might have once did as a kid. Just like how some people learn to appreciate music again by listening to different genres than the ones they did growing up, sometimes it just takes a new experience in gaming to fall in love with it all over again.

I think Fortnite affected a lot of games after its release. The way Fortnite treats in game purchases kinda made it acceptable for other companies to push microtransactions and battlepasses. Also the way Fortnite really tries to make you give it all of your attention makes other games have to use the same tactics to keep your attention. I don't really think this is a bad thing but it really does change the way developers make their games now. For me I think gaming pre-fortnite is different than gaming post-fortnite. And yes I know battlepasses and expensive microtransactions were around before Fortnite, its just that they set the standard for other companies to refer to.

What's wrong with fortnite? You can get battlepass for free every season and even get free 500 or so vbucks. Also 300 vbucks each season for everyone, so you can afford buying battlepass in 4 seasons anyway. I know 10 y.o. spend more to show off to their classmates but adult should have no problem exercising self-control.

IMO fortnite actually improved gaming transactions. Previously games cost around $60 across the board and micro transactions often related directly to pay to win perks. Fortnite showed that games can be made for free, and that in game purchases can be purely cosmetic without affecting gameplay. Yes it also contributed to the massive growth of the battle Royal genre but that’s not necessarily a bad thing, it’s just your preference.

Honestly, I understand it. While I can enjoy newer games just as much as older ones, there is certainly no denying that (to put it simply) times have changed. Both in gaming altogether, and in people's individual lives.

Times are getting hard, we are all being forced to do with less. Job worries, housing issues, supply issues. It's really hitting people hard and many really yearn for the stress relief games offer. But the reality is when you get older, your "priorities" change. Now its "hey I got a few extra bucks to spend, but I need a new tire or I can get extra groceries". Also gamers are being squeezed more for services and AAA games and the lack of Next Gen consoles doesn't help. So with all the weight on your shoulders, is it any wonder anybody is overly enthusiastic for new games? It's easy to reminisce when your older when you didn't have as many responsibilities. Were games better in the past? Somewhat yes, but got to find happiness even when there isn't a lot to go around.

Maaan how he was talking about how excited he was for battlefield and gta trilogy :(

I can relate to this so much its insane. I love video games, I have given so much also my time to them. I never forget the experience playing first Fallout games, Mass Effect trilogy.. Oblivion even Skyrim felt so unbeliavable.etc etc.. now I feel exactly the same way and ,I feel kind of sad because of it. I wanna Be able to get inside games again, to enjoy, get experiences like I did when I was younger. I love gaming. Thankyou for putting to words how, I think, many of us are feeling. I hope, something, some big beautiful game would showed up and I could experience, dive into that gaming world again. While waitin for that miracle to happen, I think I'm going to be playing, somethin. Thankyou for this vid and content of yours!

Yall gotta start playing some indie authentic games, forget all the MMO FPS & RPGs I recently played "12 minutes" point click game one of my least favourite genres, but it was a really great experience brought me back to a time where I actually enjoyed playing videogames. There are a lot of great games that are released every year they just get overshadowed by the big titles, try variety gaming instead of focusing & grinding in a single game for long periods of time and you'd be happy again. Trust me.

I don't know if I agree with that sentiment dude, for multiplayer games, map packs are just an outdated form of DLC cause it splits the community, especially when you have multiplayer map packs, either nobody plays them so they go back to the base game where all the players are and that work gets wasted and nobody experiences it, and because of the divide in player count the game overall suffers, most of the time it's just a fruitless business venture for both the player and developers, plus single player games are following the DLC trend, specifically cause it works for them, so it isn't going away
