"The only counter argument people are going to use is that “you are getting older” which is why you don’t like them. Which is just not the case." It absolutely is lol, for one when you were younger you likely didn't have many games or consoles, you made do with what you had and because of your limited experience with games as a whole you could have more fun with a game that today you might consider terrible because you had very limited reference points of what a good game is like. You also likely didn't pay a massive attention to the internet outside of KZread lets players and other entertainment based creators, and so a lot of gaming controversy's at the time likely would have flown under your radar because you weren't looking for that kind of content. "Games are getting more boring, have more micro transactions, bad writing, and are releasing more broken as well as having like 80% of the original content cut from the game just to be sold as dlc." Where do I even start with this lol, you need to chill out a bit. Games aren't more boring I have no idea what games you are playing but if whatever you are playing is boring you then I suggest you play something else. If you find that no matter what you play bores you then maybe you are just burnt out, take a break from the hobby and try something else, maybe something you haven't done in a while or you have been meaning to do but haven't had to the time to. Hell maybe even play a game from your childhood, something you've not played for a good 5-10 years see how well it holds up, reexperience some of your fondest memories. The microtransactions point is pretty fair, I blame this more so on companies being able to implement such monetization schemes far more easily now that basically every game and console has an internet connection, If the internet was as widely used in the 80's as it is now I have no doubt gaming companies would have inserted microtransactions into their games in some way, shape or form much sooner than they ended up doing. I have no clue where you got the idea that games have been getting worse in terms of writing, especially since Baldur's Gate 3 released this year and its one of the best written games ever made, and before you say "well x game and y game are poorly written" bad writing has existed since we first learned how to put pen to paper, in every medium not just games, are all movies now terrible because some films released in the last few years were poorly written? Games releasing more broken is a very valid complaint and definitely an ever increasing issue with newer games, I blame the reliance on upscalers like FSR and DLSS for poor optimization but also on the strict deadlines the devs have forced upon them that force them to rush and rely on such technologies. Obviously that 80% figure is completely hyperbolic so I'll ignore it and say that I can't think of any game that has been found to have purposely cut content from the main game to sell later, I've heard of some games using cut content for DLC but that's a bit different, if anything I think most game devs are struggling enough as it is to actually release their games on time and in a mostly functioning state that DLC is probably the last thing their thinking of when making a game. I'm sure some games have done it I just don't think its a particularly worthy concern to have considering the fact I can't think of many games that have done this in recent years.

Good video! Especially "greed part 2" chapter. I don't like the idea of stuff like this. I wanna play the games when I want to play the games. Because of stuff like events I'm playing Dying Light 2 Stay Human during the events only now. Did you see the armory changes on Pilgrim Outpost? They added a "time is ticking" transmog options to purchase in the bottom.

Nice to see another video of yours Marc😀. In the last days I played Dying Light again to look at details. And MAN check out the details of that game. It's crazy. Apartments full of stuff. You can tell the people who made Dying Light 2 are not the same that made Dying Light. The passion and sense for details are in another level. But that is exactly why we were so on fire with hype for Dying Light 2. We expected the greatness and genius of Dying light to be taken to the next level. And it should have. Like i said: Dying Light 2 is just a shadow of its potential. What a shame.

Amazing video, Oni! Although we do have some hope because we have developers like Insomniac. I am incredibly hyped for SM2. The game went gold. Lets hope it's great at launch. Also, what is your opinion on the new Dying Light 2 road map??

Love the content, keep it up man

Dying Light 2’s early promises broke me when they weren’t fulfilled. It was going to be my favourite game of all time and then years later we just get a serviceable/alright game.

before 2013, the industry standard was private studios would leverage publically traded publishers (like ea and activision) for marketing only. this seperation of powers allowed studios to retain quality/creative control without being beholden to fudiciary duty laws that mandated a lawful obligation to shareholder interests in maximum profit return. it wasnt until alot of these studios started being bought out by these publishers that you saw the predatory monetization begin. why? because now the product itself must be tailored to the best interest of the shareholder, instead just how its marketed and distributed.

The funny thing is, they own the games, it's not like they can't improve and update the game over-time, it's just that it'd cost them money to do it, and out of the billions of dollars in microtransactions apparently we're not worthy of having a finished product, the only way to stop this, is to somehow inform everyone, make them non-apathic and actually support boycotting these new awful releases, because the problem is clear, it's not the indie devs or the fan-made creators, it's the AAA corporations that people mindlessly buy new release, play it and don't even try to get a refund on these STINKERS and they have the audacity to increase prices from $60 to $70, absurd.

Dude, you nailed it. Fucking great job at explaining everything that's wrong, including that gaming nowadays feels the same for every title out there. To me it's not only the live service crap, but also every game is either a hero shooter or an action game. There is zero creativity. Even titles that were a different genre have changed their identity (i'm looking at you Valkyrie Profile). I hope that this video helps people to stand their ground against these predatory business. Unfortunately it''s also as you said: despite all of that, there are still people giving money and paying for microtransactions and battlepasses to keep encouraging this behavior.

Thank you for watching! Fingers crossed more and more people take notice to the issues.

Very well made video and couldn't have been said better. If you wanna support a live service game that I feel actually deserves the money, find a good MMO like FFXIV. Those actually need the money to run the way they do, just find one that doesn't try to gouge you so avoid MMOs like Elder Scrolls Online. Also, thank you, Oni, for recommending that Indie studio of former Techland employees. That Boti: Byteland Overclocked game they just released is a really solid 3D Platformer. I tried the Prologue Demo and I can't wait for it to release for Console, seems like the perfect game to play on a Switch.

Amen brother , think u nailed all the major points , seem it start with war craft 3 reforged

Great video, but I fear you missed a big point that is allowing this spiral in the first place. The consumer. Because way more people than not are willing to not only shell out all their money to this greed but also defend it tooth and nail. The first new pokemon dlc just dropped with just as many bugs and an even worse framerate than the base game and I've seen people defend it like they were at gun point. Why would companies stop using greedy tactics and shoddy work when consumers and willing to shower them in cash for it?

Underdeveloped and unloved games have been a thing since gaming was popularized, however, it's definitely never been this bad as there's always microtransactions (what ever happened to unlocking everything in a paid game?) nowadays and for some reason companies decided that it's better to lie to their community rather than refund pre-orders and/or just say they changed the plan.

I'd to see you expand your content to other subjects, Saints Row 2 was my favourite game in high school. I got the game for free on steam and luckily my potato pc was able to run it, but i had a bug that made the game speed faster than usual. Like my normal driving speed was fast af, i think there are videos about that bug on youtube. Despite the bug i finished the game many time and enjoy every moment, then SR reboot happen, i swear i've never been more pissed when i see the actual game. RIP the boss, johnny, shaundi and pierce

Another problem is that they try to accommodate games for old generation consoles when they were not really meant for them.

Player base in not innocent either. Players will cheat, exploit, spend 8hrs a day playing like theyre gonna be pro, and just being toxic in general. People are just too try hard now and game companies are turning games into casinos so you get addicted instead of having fun. Microtransactions, gamble packs or loot boxes, rewards for playing or winning, and unlcok systems (check out MW3 armory unlock system) all while manipulating game results and outcomes so you never win or lose too much. Check out FIFA, COD, Fortnite, basically everything. Casual modes dont exist anymore. Everyone is an addicted sweat.

I had no problem at all with the callisto protocol on my ps4 pro.

thats why i play almost just single player games these days, and sometime devs make up for what they did like cdpr with cyberpunk its prety good now

Great video. Live service isnt a bad thing in concept, i wish i had constant content flowing for some of my favorite games like Metal Gear Solid V or Dragons Dogma. But no these companies just apply live service to multiplayer crap games,, where they forget to create a good game and just focus on profits and nickel and diming. If more companies did what No Man Sky and Dying Light 1 did I would be so happy, they supported their games for over 8+ years and in the case of NMS they are still updating that game significantly.

Oni what do think of the new road map

Modern-day gaming: "Less creative freedom, lazy development, quantity over quality, and mind-numbing predatory practices. I'm sorry the current generation could not experience what actual gaming used to be back in the early 2000s: Full-game releases, fantastic studios, immense creative freedom, and absolutely no micro-transactions. We didn't have any ridiculous seasonal passes, battle passes, no DLC, or overhyped video games. And yes, I'm glad devs and gamers are becoming increasingly aware to such a micromanaged vicious cycle of the current state of the gaming industry.

I like Starfield, is it a flawless game? No, but it's fun and it's a complete and finished game with more content to be added, plus there's no live service bull crap, or monetization (yet, Creation Club), but I think they don't tell people exactly what Creation Club is correctly, so mass confusion, but it they implement Creation Club good into Starfield, then I think it will be ok, since its individual creators making these creations then sending them to Bethesda and then they send a ratio of money back to the creator, it's like paid mods, just Bethesda sucks at implementing it in correctly. It's a cool concept, giving people ways of getting paid for their work.

Another good example of online only games being a bad idea is the launch of pay day 3, I was so excited to play it and was there in launch. only to see I Had to make an account on a broken and laggy website that didn’t work, until I re-installed the game just to see that the game servers weren’t even working and it took like 2 days to fix. Why can’t triple a studios make good games anymore? Indie companies are literally carrying the gaming scene right now. like end night with sons of the forest hopefully one day these companies realise that what they are doing is not worth the destruction of their reputation.

This is why I’m been looking at 3rd party stuff. Like Japanese styled games and RPGs. Those RPGs are absolutely amazing I have been playing through RUNEFACTORY 5 and it’s been great. Now, as of recent maybe Legends of Nayuta. Once I purchase the collector edition.

Gee the Unity part had me laughing to death. 10/10 on content production.

Idk, this year was probably one of the best in a gaming history So many amazing games released For example: - The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - RE 4 Remake - Baldur's Gate 3 - Street Fighter 6 - Hi-Fi Rush And many more, I’m actually very optimistic about the future of gaming

I’ve been telling people about this but they just never listen. I was in the dying light 2 discord, sons of the forest discord, telling people that it isn’t a good sign for the game if the devs keep delaying it over and over. That tells me they aren’t confident in how they want to release their game, and it’s a terrible fkin sign, because if they were cautious about releasing it on a previous date, then how about this one. And don’t even get me started on the unfinished buggy products on release, when I’m buying a product, I don’t want half the product, or 75% of it, I want the FULL product that I paid in FULL. The crazier part of it all is how people will defend these companies under and circumstances when they are the ones stealing our money. If the games cost more money to produce, shouldn’t that mean that the game should be even better on release cause of how much money went into it??

Im noticing that ive bought a lot more older games than new ones

DL2 E3 trailer looked so good

Just look at saints row

Bad games release, good game release, same shit like in the 2000's and 2010's Mismanagement and a lack of vision is what kills some AAA games.

I can only speak from my experience but I think it applies to most people aswell. I think as we get older, we lose that giddy excitement when a game comes out. I played a lot of my favorite games when I was a teen recently, and it bores me now. I can’t believe how fast I got bored of red dead redemption when I played it recently. When I was 15, it was the greatest thing ever. Like all things, as we get older things are just not as exciting. I loved the beach as a kid, now it’s whatever. Same thing with movies. Adult hood brings you down

Also insomniac is one of the lasy remaining studios i trust spiderman 2 seems like one of the only games i will enjoy

The only way I can see why people say this is either because they only play 2k and ea games or just only exclusively play triple a games

Seems like being a PC gamer that only plays AAA games must be super frustrating. I'm starting to veer away from AAA and just stick with Nintendo, Indies, AA studios and offshoots. With exceptions of course (Elden Ring, FFXIV). I didn't realize DL2 is going the way of Eververse in Destiny 2, it's been a year since I played when they added the grindy post came content.

I honestly regret ever buying not one current gen console but BOTH the Series S (yes I know, the console everyone likes to say is holding back the generation and definitely not developers or companies refusing to optimize their game and release half finished games to be fixed through patches) and the PS5. I could’ve bought a PC with that money but that’s what I get for having hope for the future catalogs of both Xbox and PlayStation. Think I might sell both and get a PC. Pre Built too, not gonna struggle with building one or trying to figure out what parts to buy and when to buy them.

Cd project red, despite the rocky cyberpunk launch. Are one of the last developers that dont have microtransactions in there games

Brand recognition. A consumer will more likely buy something from an existing franchise than one they've never heard of before, and that's how they trick the consumer.

Hello. I sell items for scraps in dying light 2, but if I only have one of an item it's not for sale. Unfortunately I don't have everything. Notice that the more I have the less the cost and the less I have the more the cost of the items

I dont think modern gaming sucks i think nostalgia plays a big part of why we think that.

I agree 100%. It’s very frustrating and disappointing for a lifelong gamer. These games literally insult my intelligence. It’s not even about the money at all.

great video!

It is tiring and I will take my unrelenting hatred for people who defend these companies to the grave.

They could fix their game first before releasing it

I genuinely see no lie in this video, things just aren’t how they used to be in our time which was the early 2010’s where good video games were produced at a all-time high.

The golden age. I would even say the true golden age is from 1990-2010. Such an amazing 20 years of gaming.

I haven't played ANY games in a couple weeks because it's become overwhelming in all the ways talked about. Lately I just spend my time using Stable Diffusion

You know, the most of mobile games are loveless projects made just to make money. Large video game developers took some lessons from them, and that's why a lot of modern video games suck. I also wanted to purchase Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, especially since it will be the last game with the man himself, late Kevin Conroy voicing the Batman (the Arkham Batman). But battle pass (a second job) that OniZombies did show in this video is a something I don't wanna see in any game, especially in an Arkham-related game. I hope they cut it out before the launch.

MK1 is heading this way in terms of monetization, skins such as beloved old outfits from older games are going to be in the store rotation. Any game that has monetization while being a 60-70 dollar release is baffling

I have played video games less cuz i'm just done whit modern gaming and if i play anything it's usually older games. Id rather go outside for a walk than play games anymore like i have been doing recently.

I go to comment to say I was here for the premiere :)

Couldn't agree more with what you said, it's the main reason I've been sticking to single player games.

Thank you soooooo much for speaking up on this bullshit. I thought it was only me that felt like games are getting more shitty every year. What makes things even worse people are in support of all the bullshit smh. This is why these companies feel like they could do anything

On the first point with broken releases. I will just say this the gaming industry conditioned me to buy games exclusively on sales or preferably deep sales. For one less money is on the line, and if I buy game later I might it with at least some fixes or maybe as Complete Edition.

Do you not think that games should be perfectly workable as soon as they release though? Surely you do. We all want our products to be done properly when they come out. People should be able to have a great working product as soon as it's available to buy. It's that simple. The fact that we can't today is very wrong indeed.

@@lordtwiglet4068 I agree. I was just describing my defense mechanism against BS in gaming industry. I remember the times when a broken release = death of the game. No internet no patches. If the games are full of bugs, poorly optimized I just do not see any reason to pay full price for not finished product. Games should be polished products on release date, sadly this is not the reality.

When is the Days Gone video will be release?
