In the same time period, we’ve gotten Skull And Bones, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, and Diablo IV skins that cost more than the base game.

It can simultaneously be true that the big companies are churning out cash grabs while other companies are making awesome games.

I’m bouncing between witcher 3, desperados 3, below and noita.

Lethal Company it’s an Indie Game, so it doesn’t fit in the “Game made by a Company” Category

AAA studios are making crap games recently, the more middle grade ones that absolutely rocking it.

Mango,

So what’s the point of the grades?

Pika,
@Pika@sh.itjust.works avatar

thankfully it lets me know what studios to avoid unless it becomes an internet sensation, but I think the AAA/AA studio thing is something the studios started with.

Kiosade,

It’s not like the grades are regulated or anything. It’s just a vague indicator of how much money went into a given game.

Buddahriffic,

They are just production value. How good a game looks and sounds, which isn’t necessarily related to how fun a game is.

Company size, probably. AAA = extremely bloated with more bureaucracy to get anything done and approved than most governments.

Gamers seem to be a pretty nasty bunch of people for whatever reason. Games have never been better and are absolutely amazing atm. But many people just like to focus on all the negatives and how certain games are bad. I honestly don’t get it - you have lots of choices so just don’t play the bad games, it’s pretty easy…

spez_,

It’s because gamers are dirty Cheeto dust neck beards who never go outside

Alk,

Haha nice troll account, it got a chuckle out of me once I noticed the username. Have a downvote for your efforts, bravo.

Mastengwe,

When you combine entitlement with being incredibly thin-skinned, you get gamers. I try my hardest to distance myself from the title as much as possible while still being someone that enjoys playing video games.

It’s not easy.

DingoBilly,

Yep. As an adult that plays video games you can still get lumped in a negative stereotype because of the antics of some. Not the first thing I lead with on dates.

Mango,

Dingos seem to be pretty disgusting critics for whatever reason. Games game never been better and are super skilled ATM!

Lethal Company is shit-tier stream bait, don’t lump it in with these two masterpieces.

Daxtron2,

sure if you have no friends I could see why you think this

Glytch,

My friends are too busy spreading managed democracy in the name of Super Earth to pick through shit in a game that purposely looks and plays like ass.

Daxtron2,

Ah that tracks

Kiosade,

Any game could be more fun with friends, that’s not a great argument.

Daxtron2,

Well considering it’s designed to be a co-op game I’d say it’s a perfect argument

Mark my words as the real JC Denton, GTA VI will cause the Video Game Market Crash, it will be a Ubisoft level of bad, with xp boosters, online only, ancient gameplay, and woke Disney story telling

LOL You had to take your phone out of the case because you needed your phone to take a picture of your phone

Ohhhhh fuck me. I thought the phone had a screen on the back to passthrough the image from the front camera.

I just recently finished Final Fantasy XVI and I think its GOTY nomination was well earned, despite its shortcomings. A hell of a journey.

I agree with all of these picks too.

MrBusiness,

That story was amazing for as far as I got, but the combat was too repetitive and underwhelming to stick it through. I need to see if there’s a movie cut on YouTube

Yeah. A few companies made good games. Doesn’t mean most companies aren’t making dogshit games that everyone keeps gobbling up and shelling money for

4am,

This is the way it’s been since the beginning. Way more people are going to try making something good than people are going to succeed at it. Whether it’s greed, incompetence, laziness, they ran out of time, whatever.

You don’t have to give a bad product any attention at all just because it’s “big”. The box says “Suicide Squad” not “guaranteed to be good” 😅

Cethin,

The issue this is touching on isn’t that the big companies try to make something good, it’s that they try to make something profitable. It’s designed by the suits, not the designers. There’s no passion in them. However, they have the budget to market them and control what most casual gamers hear about. It’s rare that a team without the marketing budget the size of EA can break into the mainstream, even if they’re great.

Is it just me that think helldiver’s 2 was incredibly boring? It feels like cod zombies but only a tiny bit better. I decided to refund it at the 2 hour mark

Lizardking27,

Never played it but I see what you mean. It and Lethal Company are both just endless repetitive multi-player missions.

scoobford,

It isn’t a super deep game to me, but it is simple with a decent skill ceiling. I remember getting totally rolled on an automaton mission.

It also has a pretty good community and sells a fantasy, like DRG. I think that a what people love most about it.

Lizardking27, do gaming w We've had a few killer games recently

Lmao lethal company is repetitive, low effort, fake difficulty trash. Get tf off this list.

That’s Vampire Survivors for me, I’ve already made utterly broken characters with golden eggs, but I still keep coming back because of the fun gameplay loop.

One thing all these games share: not being made by one of the big companies like EA, Activision-Blizzard-King, or Ubisoft.

Hell, one of these was made by one dude, and another was made by the guys who made Magicka and was expected to have a player population of around 10k.
