New HTML/CSS rolled out two weeks ago. Be sure to check out the new mobile-optimized layout for phones, and inline extension features.

We also added two new themes (first time in 4.5 years!). Thanks to seaweed for porting them over from OneeChan!

We are still working through a few bugs with the new code. Please report any bugs you find to newhtml@4chan.org.

It's technically both, you are getting old but new games are fucking terrible.

It's not a bad thing though, there's still plenty of good games to play its just that you'll be hard pressed to find them.

It's no different than hating Adam Sandler movies. Sure some idiots will defend Adam Sandler, they'll call you a wannabe film critic, but in the end Adam Sandler movies are fucking terrible.

The sooner you realize that gaming and the mass media are solely made to convince plebeians to buy awful media the sooner you can start finding movies/games/tv shows that are actually good, instead of just being advertised as such.
>>
People who claim "nostalgia goggles" haven't played older games. I don't mean fuckold like early 90s but late 90s and even 2000-> there were some really good games. Nowadays something like Skyrim is considered GOTY, it's goddamn hilarious. That piece of shit wasn't even an RPG, just an action game with some dialogue here and there. There are still good games coming out though, not as often as they did "back in the day".

no if you start doing some critical analysis of the game industry they are getting worse.

I wish it was just nostialgia goggles but many PS2 game were put together much more masterfully then a lot of the games put out today.

Having to get it right on the first try used to be a big deal since you could not put out a buggy game and just patch it.

the hollywood mindset of game making that took over. People thinking they were making ART, instead of making a good solid game. They uses ART to justify shitty game dev decisons.

Games used to be better when they were made by people INTO games. Now we have writers and suits that never played games making them.

There are so many factors into why gaming has gone downhill.

There are some people who think video games are getting worse because of nostalgia, and there are some people who think video games are all still good.

Look at each generation: They all have their goods and bads. The bad games of previous generations are mostly bad because of being bad in of themselves (technically, gameplay-wise), but most games your consider "bad" today are just bad because of subjectivity. Fallout 3 for an example is considered to be a bad game by most old school Fallout fans, but a lot of people find it more buzzword than the previous installments in the series. It is not too true to the gameplay of its predecessors, but it complies with what most people consider to be "fun." Look at all arcade games of yesteryear -- they aren't especially deep, they have little to no story, and they sure as hell aren't complex at all, but they are mostly all still considered to be good games.

Go fuck yourself. Video games are a great storytelling medium and have many advantages over books. The first one is quite obvious, personal involvement. The second, far more important, is exploration. The rich lore is presented by interacting with the environment: talking with the NPCs, investigating old ruins, observing the surrounding; instead of being force fed knowledge at certain intervals. Games bring you the story and setting at a much more personal and involved level.
There are games that are centered around the story - PS:T, MotB, Betrayal at Krondor. Then there are those that don't need it all, focusing purely on the gameplay aspects. Both are perfectly fine. The irrational hatred towards story stems from lazy studios filling their shitty games representing traditionally gameplay-centric genres (eg. FPS) with DEEP and oh so emotional cutscenes nobody really cares about, hoping to cover the horrid mechanics.

They're getting worse in a general sense. What's good isn't less good, it's just a matter of frequency. More bad games, fewer good games. It's just like with music, movies, oh so many tools and clothes and wares in general. Games make more money and thus people who care more about money than games get involved. They don't care about "keeping it real" or anything like that. They just want a safe income to rub their limp dicks to. They have the money, so they can buy out or outcompete most enthusiasts, especially those who started their companies before the industry came to be what it is, whereas the indie developers of this new gaming era have been better at adapting, as they knew what they had to adapt themselves to before they even started. Old devs weren't prepared.
Whereas in the olden days, enthusiasts would put out things that they WANTED to do, things they did with their own feelings and intentions. This is similar to what in music is called "feeling". You mean what you sing and you sing the way you feel at the time. See blues, jazz, rock etc..

For a Warrior you have to take it slowly. Tip toe into hell so you don't get surrounded. Try and lure them out of a cluster so you can take on one or two at a time.

Make sure you have enough Hit% or else it'll take forever to kill anything. Also, more AC so you don't get hit as much. You also better be using a shield at this point otherwise it really hurts.

No, he's right. Big-name titles are getting worse.

The fact that every big name company has major review sites in their pocket means that there's less motivation to make actually good games.

Just look at Diablo 3. It's a completely downgrade of Diablo 2 in every way.

The problem with modern gaming is not that it's getting worse at all in my opinion. I found Skyrim to be more enjoyable than Oblivion save for the quests for instance, and Bioshock and Alan Wake to be excellent games.

The problem is that developers keep on making sequel after sequel after sequel. While say COD has had something like 8 games this generation, there is the market there. And should remain there.
There has been very few new IP's this generation, and save for Alan Wake and Dead Island and maybe a couple others, developers keep on releasing sequels for those new IP's. Games such as Crisis, Dragon Age, and the Force Unleashed should have ended with the first game. But developers feel the need to rehash the fucking game every two years because they are afraid of taking risks. That is the problem with gaming currently.
Why the fuck does every game need a goddamn sequel? Why can't companies just make new IP's?

Other than that, games are staying the same, IMO, it's just that more companies are making them so they fail.

Good thing 38 studios is closing, it shows other companies not to make fetch-quest games.

Thought it was decent. Maybe stop focusing on just the bad aspects.

It does exploration well, is completely open world as what you want to do and when to do it, has a well crafted world, (wish I could say the same for the dungeons), did character interaction and VA much better than Oblivion, and had some better armor and character models. I'd give it a 7/10.

>inb4 comparisons to Morrowind.
Morrowind's quests were fucking shit and the character interactions were just copy pasted garbage, worse than Skyrim. Take off your fucking nostalgia goggles.
At least focus on the good parts about Morrowind such as the freedom, culture, amount of items and armor/weapons, and no level scaling instead of telling lies.
>>
I've just started playing Diablo 2 today and I've gotta say, I much prefer the interface and the claustrophobia you get in Diablo 1. The wide open spaces make it seem like you can run away easily but in D1 I always had that feeling that if I got mobbed I was never going to get away. That feeling certainly kept me playing it for a long time, but I'm honestly not sure how I feel about D2.

No character customization. LOL MAX EVERYTHING AND HAVE FUN.
