Sturgeon's law: 90% of everything is crap.
Most AAA games are, and have always been crap. But we only remember the rare gems from yesteryear that weren't crap. 5 years from now you'll look fondly on the games from 2025 because a couple will have stuck with you and you'll have long since dropped the rest.
- ceejayoz 2y agoThat doesn't mean there haven't been shifts in the industry. Microtransactions, skyrocketing budgets, etc. Games in the 90s weren't selling you a skin for $10 or getting A-list actors to do the voices.
- bryanlarsen 2y agoGames in the 90's had expansion packs and a few did have A list actors: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111727/?ref_=fn_all_ttl_1 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111727/?ref_=fn_all_ttl_1
- ceejayoz 2y agoExpansion packs aren't anything close to today's microtransactions. I would not term Mark Hamill an A-list actor. Harrison Ford would be.
