TLDR those genres don’t give me enough of a dopamine hit to keep playing them anymore. They might as well be bejeweled. If it’s not something I can play with IRL friends, or sandbox, it’s probably not really compatible with my lifestyle anymore.
I appreciate the class conscious sentiment… but this game has 500k players right now. So ~$10,000,000 in sales in 24 hours… for a game that probably had a budget under 200k.
completely agree. I probably pick up another side scroller, turn based, or RTs game anytime soon… but I’m glad those game genre’s are still coming out with new games.
.or really any of this style of games where you run back and forth over the same terrain over and over and over again for hours looking for a hole you haven’t been through yet.
Totally. I wasn’t saying platformers were invented in the 00s. I saying games like pong and space invaders technically predate platformers despite both of them being arcade games.
Please remember I was trying to answer he question, “When is a genre old”. Which is somewhat difficult with older genre’s that evolved in tandem with each other.
