Dreamcast is probably my most played console, it is between that and the n64. After that games just went downhill. I don't know what's wrong with me but the industry just seems to have lost its magic. Maybe it's the media I see it through: twitter etc. Or maybe because it's mainstream now, it used to be a bit underground. Or maybe games just don't seem to have any personality anymore. Or maybe I'm just old and my soul no longer burns.
- kingkongjaffa 3y agoThere have been many very good games made since N64 to be fair. Command and Conquer series, Civilization series, Halo series, Zelda games, Pokemon games, Gran Turismo series, Metal gear solid series. A huge number of creative game mechanics, graphical improvements, and deep rich lore and worlds to explore have been created in games. Some fantastic story driven games have been compared in artistic merit to Films and TV, and we're now seeing that acceptance with things like "The Last of Us" being turned into a hit show that was even almost scene-for-scene in the first episode. Sure there a microtransactions and junk food style games for the lowest common denominator as cash grabs, but there are also deep, rich games made with love still.
- cglong 3y agoYouTube has introduced me to a lot more indie titles which has reinvigorated my excitement for the medium. Games like Celeste, Undertale, and the Ori series are all excellent and clearly made out of a love for gaming. I've actually started seeing people refer to Sega as an indie publisher. IMO they've straddled this line well, with recent titles like Sonic Mania, the Yakuza series, and even their free April Fool's "prank" game (The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog) getting universal praise.
