No Man’s Sky and Street Fighter 5 both broke my heart in the same year. It was the beginning of a massive decline in quality and business practices. Video games haven’t been the same since. The free-to-play model, 2010 GDC/IGF indie game scene, and the mobile gaming market are largely responsible.
- SV_BubbleTime 3y agoYou are playing the wrong games. Go play Outer Wilds and Subnautica then tell me about the it’s all bad practices. There are gems, but they’re rare… like gems.
- jpsouth 3y agoI can’t play Subnautica anymore, I finished it but now live with existential fear of deep water and vast open spaces. Would highly recommend ruining your ability to swim in the ocean just to play that game though, it’s incredible.
- PastorSalad 3y agoThese two games are an absolute masterclass in atmosphere and ambiance.
- SV_BubbleTime 3y agoReally are. In Subnautica maybe by bug a leviathan was in the shallows… where I had thought I was safe. If it was a bug it was an excellently timed one. In Outer Wilds, the whole coming together point when you realize the time scale, the reason it’s 22 minutes, every single nerve racking time in the bramble, so good!
- slowhadoken 3y agoI’ve played so many games at various stages of development I can’t remember them all anymore. One of my favorite games doesn’t exist anymore. I just like science fiction and I’ve been playing SF since SF1 came out. Outer Wilds and Subnautica are pretty good games though.
