@McNabb Modern games are mostly worse, so so much worse. The tools for making them has kinda peaked, but the quality is in a constant downward spiral for a few reasons.
- old games are good because they did the best with what they had, finely polishing it until it was the very best it could possibly be, modern games have large limits to what they can do so they just shove a bunch of random shit in and release it
- no more games made by a few dudes in a basement, if they are, theyre trannies that produce the most mid game ever
- AAA game studios just turned it into a money factory, producing the same old product over and over to make the same cash, never experimenting, never competeing
- game companies fired all people with talent and replaced them with diversity hires that suck
I could go on and on, i could write a fucking book of whats wrong with modern games
