We haven't had a great video game since 2013

@Fiddle that's just demonstrably false.

@beardalaxy @Fiddle I struggle to think of a non-VR game originally released since 2013 that's "great."

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating @Fiddle just off the top of my head, ghostrunner and Kirby forgotten land were AWESOME games.

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating @Fiddle and while i don't personally like souls games, i've heard that elden ring is a pretty universally well-liked game that does a lot of stuff insanely well.

@beardalaxy @Fiddle I wouldn't have considered Elden Ring. I don't know exactly why, but there is something about that game's community that smells weakly of soy that always turns me off.

That said, the newer MGQ games are great, and there's a few Japanese indie games that are great.

The examples I like to give of games that are still good are Geometry Dash and Roblox - they're just games that constantly improve, though, so they're not really "new releases"

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating @Fiddle i don't think it's very fair to judge a game based on its community.

you're not exactly wrong, though. it's extremely odd how popular that game was despite its difficulty and overall tone. i wonder how many of the twitch thot chicks playing it actually finished it.

i've never played MGQ. roblox seems fine, but from an outsider perspective it seems driven almost solely by the community with the dev team sort of being scummy. i'm surprised you aren't turned off by THAT community either, considering it's mainly got a shit ton of young, annoying, autistic children playing it.

i never played geometry dash either but it seems fun enough. iirc it has newgrounds integration so that's pretty cool.

other than the two games i mentioned first, some other games i would call objectively great (instead of just being ones i personally enjoy) would be:

-mario kart 8 dx (especially with the crazy amount of DLC they've put out for a really low price)

-the witcher 3

-ratchet and clank rift apart

-rocket league (pre-epic acquisition)

-smash ultimate
