Gawwdan preventing rebinding is so annoying! Or it’s monkey paw wish cousin, letting you rebinding but the on-screen prompts are hard coded to display the default key.

In a simmiliar accessibility vein, I’m hard of hearing so when a game has no option for subtitles then at best I catch 1/3rd of the story.

Abuse of quick time events. Some overrated games are horrible about it. I think it should never be used.

Hotzilla, do gaming w "gaming is dead"

I have steam account from CS 1.0 (can legally buy beer), and hundreds of games. I still say that gaming is dead, especially AAA gaming. This year has been quite shit compared to previous one’s and it has been a trend for years. Indie and small studios are the way forward.

Nindelofocho,

AAA gaming is definitely dead but i dont think its a bad thing. Ive just about only played Indie games and even AA(?) games to great satisfaction the past couple of years. Im not a light gamer either have thousands of hours in games like Avorion, Stormworks, Battlebit, Juno: new origins (kerbal space program like). That is just to name a few but right now im binging Space Station 14 real hard which im not even playing from Steam. If anything the death of AAA has created a great opportunity for smaller devs to start showing up and showing off

Hotzilla,

Yeah, you are correct. Dead of big studios is not probably that bad.

SCmSTR,

What are you on about? The non viability of games from Big studios that still exist is a literal disaster. Their desire to still remain as businesses and suck money from us is why that article came out, saying that 50% of kids want virtual currency for Christmas now. It also means the death of GOOD big games, not the death of BAD big games. And many people WANT big games, and will compromise their judgement to play them, dumbing down not only themselves, but the entire landscape in the process.

In reality, “the death of big studios” just translates to “widespread addiction to high volume gambling in children and adults”. E-waste, more capitalism, worse society, etc.

“Not that bad”. Come on…

Space Station 14

Thanks, I will have to check this this out.

…You ever play Barotrauma?

Nindelofocho,

Its a lot of fun! If you like barotrauma but want something more long form youll love SS14 its much more goofy than barotrauma

captainlezbian,

For AAA yeah. This year however hades 2, kingdom come deliverance 2, and silksong all came out to great acclaim and still managed to get outclassed by Expedition 33. If that’s what dead looks like I want more of my hobbies to die

Hotzilla,

True, kcd2 was awesome. Let’s hope the collapse of AAA just means better indie and small studio games

This year has been quite shit compared to previous one’s

The number of games being voted on for GOTY this year is pretty hard to choose from since there’s so many. They just aren’t AAA games. They’re all AA or indies.

SCmSTR, (edited )

Gaming was killed by the same thing that kills everything: capitalism and exceptionalism, with no regard for social responsibility and morality.

Also, steam came out with cs 1.6, not 1.0.

Points of no return and anything else that's permanently missable. No, I am not doing a second playthrough of a 100 hour JRPG.

Back then I would play games for hours and hours to the point my parents would get angry at me. Now above my 18s I can not even play more than 50 minutes because for some reason everything quickly gets boring.

zerobot,

i get that but it might not be the games fault dawg

Skipcast,

Definitely isn’t

paraphrand,

What’s your relationship with social media, or cannabis? Do you scroll short form media? Do you post lots of comments on Lemmy/reddit?

If none of those are an issue, then maybe you just got older.

I do not use drugs. I do not scroll short form media because it irritates me too 😅. Social media use is occasional.

paraphrand,

That’s great! I assume your interests have just changed as you got older then! Or, the demands of adult life are pulling your attention.

ameancow,

Something inside you is not being satisfied by gaming, and you need to listen to that voice. It doesn’t mean you won’t ever enjoy games again, but it also means you need to find that fulfillment in order to enjoy them again.

I recommend figuring out what the last thing you did was that you really felt free from outside thought and were focused on, or what left you feeling satisfied with your own efforts. Was it an art project? Something you cooked? A hike you went on?

Your brain is screaming at you to make something of your experiences, to have a sense of growth and proceeding forward towards a goal. It doesn’t have to be career or studying either, we’re not wired to feel fulfilled from answering the phone for 8 hours a day, nor are we wired to feel fulfilled extracting virtual loot, at least not long-term, we’re wired to feel fulfilled creating things with our hands or moving our body.

I stopped enjoying games, so I started making games. Totally new experience, feels completely different and after getting past some initial hurdles of feeling overwhelmed, it’s now addicting. I have no idea if I’ll ever launch a real, finished game, but there’s incredible satisfaction in making your first hallway that you can run and jump through, it feels far different than buying and downloading even the most expensive commercial game release. I’ve played a thousand hallways and crates and jumping, but that first one I made myself beats them all. And now I have new appreciation for some indie game that some person made, I feel a connection and it makes games more enjoyable.

OP, you would love the Steam Deck, or in a few months the Steam Machine. Or any other PC with Steam for that matter. With Steam Input you can rebind the controls of even the most stubborn game.

Doc_Crankenstein,

Unfortunately, I have a PC but can’t use it cause of circumstances which don’t allow me space to set it up.

I do prefer PC over console for this very reason. PC is just better with customization and accessibility thanks to the option for modding and stuff.

Wresting control away every time I take ten steps for some stupid exposition. Just leave me the fuck alone. Damn. I want to explore and discover stuff by, you know, playing the game.

This is why Final Fantasy is my favorite game in the series.
