Modern remakes

[Gameguy]

....or because most modern games supposedly suck (which in itself is a totally subjective opinion that countless people would disagree with, people who, again, aren't necessarily blinded by shallow reasons or thinking).

There's just a lot of practices with modern games I don't like, such as loot boxes, DLC not available on the disc, digital download only where every game takes hours to download and install, constant patches and updates for games and console firmware, purposely making games sluggish or full of boring grinding parts and including micro-transactions so you can skip the purposely crappy gameplay, micro-transactions in general like Dead Or Alive 6 charging $1 every time you want to change your character's hair colour, etc.

As a recent example, Ubisoft's Trackmania has just been described by Ubisoft as not being subscription based.

"Actually it's not a subscription model but an access to the game for a limited time. You pay for having access to the game for a one period and that's it," a Ubisoft rep wrote. "When the time is over, you have to buy the game again for the time that you want to access it again."

Really glad to hear that's not a subscription. This is how modern game developers treat customers.

Really, I gotta wonder why some of you even visit the Modern Gaming section of this forum if you're seemingly so anti-modern games.

There's little else to check in on with the forum anymore so I look everywhere. Also there might be some things of interest that get posted in the modern section so I still look. I still look through my junk folder in my emails too as some things end up there by mistake.

It's just a matter of putting in the time and digging through what's available, but some are closed-minded and don't bother to look past the big-name stuff.

Very true, there's always some people making some type of games that will appeal to every person in some way, like text adventures that are still being made. It's just not by major studios. The thing is not everyone has the time to search the entire internet looking for obscure games that would be suitable for them, then checking reviews to confirm that the appealing game is actually good. People are often busy and just have limited free time, they won't usually spend it searching endlessly for entertainment, they'd rather spend their time on the entertainment itself. It's why people used to surf TV just to see what's on, not that they wanted to watch anything specifically. The modern equivalent would be browsing youtube through the recommended videos, just clicking on random videos that are being presented to you.

Overall for myself I usually tend to just go back to movies and games I already own and know I'll have a good time with, or just browse through what unviewed things I physically have as it's easier than searching online for random things to watch or play. Otherwise it's youtube. It's really rare for me to try searching specifically for new games or content to watch, when I find out about new games it's usually by chance as I'll come across it online and just think it's interesting and worth looking more into. I rarely specifically look for new games to play.
