Just watched gameplay of unreleased game plants vs zombies 3 . Its so bad, original from 2009 is milion times better.
And same goes for all other games. Why are old games better than new ones, they dont put any efort today to make good quality game.
It looks like they just want to make it quick and cheap. No wonder games are so lov quality…
A lot of the “old games were better” is because we mainly remember the best of the best. There has always been shovelware.
On the other hand, I do agree that AAA gaming is fairly stale. I believe it’s mainly because the games are huge investments that have to be a “safe” bet, which is one way to make art (of any type) boring.
But there are indie studios making amazing games these days, because the incentive there is to differentiate their product from the others. Once an idea gets popular enough, AAA studios will pick it up and grind it into the dirt.
I would disagree with the idea that games are worse now. I think the best stuff is getting made today, it’s just harder to find it in a deluge of shovelware. Look in the indie and AA space for interesting games.
Sure a lot of AAA games are doing pretty poorly. And I think it’s due to corporate greed and trying to push out a game as quickly as possible, there are definitely some good new AAA games and the indie market is better than ever before.
Sturgeon’s Law: 90% of anything is crap. You’re comparing the best of yesteryear against the entirety of the current crop.
No am looking for best games today same as i look at best games from the past… And i find nothing today, while in the past there are good games. My question is why there is no game that is on the same level today as games in past, not even asking to be better…
Look at the timescales. Past = ~40 years, Today is like 1 year, 2 years? There is just more choice in the past. And have you really tried all new games?
No i didnt but any new game i try i dont find it to be fun. And also new games feel unfinished and unpolished, while old games feel complete and totaly ready for sale. New ones rely on updates over the internet, while old ones were sold on discs and had to be totaly complete before first release. No on fly fixes and updates….
Balatro is well done
You say its well done but i dont see that, why do we have pixelated cards in 2025?
Why it have plane buttons with no ornaments or any detailes on them? Look at old games, look at buttons in old games, look at detailes.
Find on youtube original, first dota gameplay and look at how mouse looks like. That is art. And look how mouse is in this 20 years newer game…
If you’re not interested in gameplay why ask for games? Try an art gallery next time.
I dont say this game is bad, i didnt even try it. I beleave its fun, but just saying my overall feel of cheapness the moment i enter todays games, compared to quality and effort and art i see in old games…
Because that’s the vision of the designer, why do you bother so much? Just play it and try to understand what it’s about.
Ok you should just play the game and see whats fun in it, but i ask why its alvayse the same in new games, why there is no art like in old games… Art in story art in visuals. For example, in plants vs zombies from 2009 you have 3 buttons in botom right corner. First is “options” second is “help” third is “quit” Standard stuf right? Ok but if you click on “help” button you will get a message that when zombies show up you just stit and do nothing, and you will win the game when they reach your house… And also it says this message is brought to you by zombies… Great help ha? XD
That is fun, that is game, such things tou dont see now a days…
Also those buttons are vases with flovers, and if you click on flover it falls off, thats art…
It is art, but you don’t understand it yet.
