Why Gaming Sucks today. My Opinion on such things.

This is my reasoning for why Gaming is bad now. You don't have to agree with me or whatever, this is my opinion. If you can't handle that, then i don't know what to tell you.
- When i see games costing One Hundred on STEAM IE Batman new one, i forget its name, Mortal Kombat. I just laugh. Who is going to spend a hundred dollars on a video game. To me that seems like a waste of money. It is a digital copy, so their is no packaging, cd, instruction booklet, whatever, but yet the games cost more money now. Hilarious.
It has zero value when you buy a digital copy. You can't sell it. It retains no value. Like i have two copies of Earthbound for SNES. OK. One is opened, one isn't. THe opened one is worth about 400-600 i think , last time i checked, it was going for about a thousand. You can't do that with Steam. They have ZERO VALUE.
DLC is just another way of ripping off the consumer. Most of the content that is created , is created within production budget, but they think they can charge you another five dollars. What really makes me mad is the nickel and diming of our society. Every fucking person wants to charge you a late fee. If you accidentally withdrew money, and overDRAFT, GOD HELP YOU. What ever happened to game companies releasing FREE DLC? I remember that.
Community bias, most game communities are pretty bad. IE GTA Online. That game is a cheater paradise, complete waste of money.
Games like Garbage Gone home that get Perfect Ten out of Ten Scores, when we know what its really about. Pushing that Hollywood Agenda, till we all think the same way, they do. They don't want people to think for themselves, or have free will/choice. They want you to accept it, and if you don't you are labeled a racist, you can have your Baseball team taken away from you, because of some stupid thing you said/did. What ever happened to this being America, but that is another rant/discussion.
What a shit game.
All The games are the same boring ass shit we had for the last ten years. How many COD games do we need, or COD like games do we need? MMORPGS are terrible. I rather kiss a dog on the mouth than play World of Warcraft for ten minutes. I don't understand the carrot and the stick mentality that people have.
Toning Games Down to give them that G rating , so Riley can play GTA 5. No Riley is not eighteen, he is five years old. Stop fucking toning the violence in your games to get a BETTER ESRB or whatever rating. I'm SO FUCKING SICK of this, Watchdogs did it really bad. I shot someone in the head in Watchdogs, and he just died. I turned the game off, right then and there. GTA 5 did it, max payne had more realistic violence in its game, and that game came out years ago.
All i can think of Right now, i'm sure i'll have more later.

Spot on
I think your numbers are messed up because they repeat.
i see that, but i didn't think it was a issue to fix, so i didn't.
Well, time for me to throw my opinion out there.
Yeah, I agree with this, a good amount of the time with physical copies, the game usually comes with cool merchandise to make that extra amount of money worth it. However, digital copies is a little outrageous.
I agree with this too, this is why I usually purchase physical copies. However, digital copies do hold value as if you lose the system or pc then if you log on to a different console or pc and download it on that you won't have to purchase it again.
Hmm, this is a here and there. DLC that comes later after the game are DLC i'm good with, however, Day one DLC is kinda bullshit.
Nothing to do with any of this.
I remember that too, oh wait, it still happens.
Same can be said with any community. Books, Games, Comics, Movies...Applies to all of them.
You do know opinions exist.
Well games are a work of art and art is a way to express ourselves. Games typically hold different messages with in them, for example, Metal Gear Solid games have many anti-war messages in them.
Why do you think that everyone who plays games live in America? Typically there are gamers across the world and America's laws don't apply to them.
Well George, those are called genres. A great thing in this age of gaming is that people can have many different genres to choose from and a lot of games in that genre to play.
Hmm, I see you again have forgotten about opinions.
Umm, is it just me or is this bullshit? I'm pretty sure that GTA didn't exactly tone anything down.
What exactly did you want him to do?
Can't wait for your next points.
Gaming is shit because gamers are just seen as $ these days. It's not about being creative. it's about making money. Not that no developers put in the effort anymore, but it's become more about profit than making good games. Call of Duty, while fun at times, is overdone and boring, and EVERYONE is copying it. the new Star Wars Battlefront is most likely going to be a Call of Duty clone, because the big fucking corporations are too goddamned lazy to put some effort into their games.
This industry is completely fucked.
Actually, Battlefront 3 is most likely going to be a Battlefield clone, because DICE is making it and it was the Frostbite 3 engine, DLC like Battlefield (Day fucking One), as well as levolution.
I still pre-ordered it. I want my bonuses and the Jakku DLC early.
No space battles though. I can always hope for a Tie Fighter reboot.
Well, you can fly the TIEs and X-Wings over the map (just like Battlefield.....) It's not the fucking same though.
I am VERY disappointed in the lack of features that Battlefront 3 has compared Battlefront 2.
YES YES YES
That's just some formatting quirk that Markdown uses.
If you have a number list that is separated into multiple parts, it automatically resets itself each time.
Agreed with this. It's also pretty bad over here in Australia because we also have to deal with the exchange rates as well.
Yes and no. Some DLC is a complete rip off (the fatality DLC for MK9) while other DLC is absolutely fantastic and provides a fuck ton of new shit to do (Oblivion, shivering isles)
Don't forget our shitty government banning games.
I'm not a fan of most DLC. The only time I usually play these when they were included with the game (such as with game of the year editions or some console to computer ports).
The exception to this rule is story DLC. I do like these a lot, as they add a completely new experience to the game. I have no regrets about buying the Stacking, Costume Quest, and The Walking Dead: 400 Days DLC (in fact I paid for all of these at other places specifically because I got them once for free - Stacking and Costume Quest for XBLA as the DLC is included in the computer versions, and 400 Days for Steam as it was included in Telltale store purchases).
The only non-story DLC I ever bought was the good friends character pack for Runner 2, and I'm OK with that as well since each of the new characters had animations for moves that fit in their particular franchises, and some of them are pretty funny, such as Dr. Fetus from Super Meat Boy holding out Bandage Girl as a shield.

Poor formatting, Illogical statements, confrontational attitude, veering off on subjects that have nothing to do with gaming.
Drunk post perhaps?
You can sell the games for TF2 hats
The problem with the DLC/pricing argument is that games cost more to make these days. You mentioned savings from going digital, but that really pales in comparison to the increasingly bloated budgets. Gamers want state of the art graphics, but won't accept price hikes. So they usually end up going with DLC to make up the difference. Would you be okay with devs taking a step back and going with simpler looking games? That's what it will take to get DLC under control. Honestly, if you're okay with simpler looking games, you may as well just buy indie games. They're dirt cheap and play just as well or better than AAA games. They're just simpler looking. Based on your point about toning down violence, I recommend Hatred.
This attitude is such a problem. I wouldn't give it 10/10, but I liked Gone Home. [Mod edit: Insult redacted] Different people have different tastes, and that's fine. Like you said, this is America, and I can like whatever I please.
I'm actually Canadian, but I like saying "this is America"

This is how I feel about gaming. I might be interested in one game a year other than what TTG's puts out maybe. I have no desire to get a new console mainly it seems like you are paying for less loading screens in your game.
I love when everyone thinks so highly of me. It gives me a fuzzy feeling that i can't explain.
Angry much?
I was talking about how EVERY Professional Reviewer gave it a perfect score, Check Metascore.
So because of that one sentence you think that no one should give criticism on your opinions? George, you posted your opinion on a public forum, expect disagreements...But it appears that you won't even try to defend your position.
I'm not going to argue about my opinion with you. NO Point.
Then why bother posting your opinion if you can't defend it? You should have suspected that there will be disagreements, as most of your points are extremely wrong as I already stated in my previous posts.
i think you're confusing an opinion and a tirade.
This was a tirade.
i actually do think quite highly of you, just not this thread...at all.
It reads like a drunken tirade and I call em' as I see em'.
I would say that the lines separating this here is a bit blurry.
What's this, your fucking blog or something?
I see as many mediocre scores as perfect scores. Exactly as many, in fact. There are 7 perfect scores and 7 mediocre scores.
But yeah, good scores on the whole, and definitely out of sync with the user scores. That still doesn't mean there's something insidious going on. The reviews were praising the experimental gameplay of Gone Home more than its message. Critics play many more games than the average gamer, so they're going to be looking for new and exciting stuff, while many gamers just want familiar gameplay. Nothing wrong with either approach, they just clash with games like this.
mosfet, there is no need for insults. Keep it civil, please.
Criticism of someone's opinions is fine, but please try to keep discussion civil and leave personal insults out of it. Thanks.
i totally agree with you about the whole DLC thing, most of it is just bullsh*t, or stuff they took out of the game to sell separately.
but i think your points about gone home and "How many COD games do we need" are actually contradictory, i think we need games like gone home or else all we get is COD, gone home is trying to be something different, much like how TWD game was trying something new and different, maybe the subject/story of gone home may not appeal to everybody but i think much like TWD game, it got some of it's praise because of how innovative it was (ie. not another bloody COD game) as a gamer i think variety in games is important and games like gone home are part of that variety.
