Do people still play…

When did games become a popularity contest instead of just being fun

When people started advertising power, frame rates, and resolution, instead of the actual game - leading to massive hype that often fails to deliver.

After the 1.4 update I've started playing The Division again. I now get a sense of accomplishment instead of hours of grinding and have nothing to show for it. Before people start arguing time/effort/risk = rewards I come from roughly 6 years of Final Fantasy 11, and if you can endure that game, you can endure anything.

I do agree though, tech specs instead of actual game play does raise a big flag, especially if it's a major release.

Hit nail on the head. I play for fun, thats what it's for. An escape from the day to day responsibilities.
I'm over 30 years old and have been gaming for a very long time and I'm glad gaming is more mainstream and accepted than it was 10-15 years ago.
However it's not going to last if these self enititled millenials stop bitching about a little frame dip or resolution This and that.
They are the reason devs are rushing their games and touting unrealistic expectations to grab a preorder sale from their insecure pockets.
Back in the day you only preordered a game because you knew that it would be sold out if you didn't. Not because of a extra design color for a gun.

Nope, people are innit for the 4K screenshots comparisons and the kill streaks

It's not a real problem if you play on the PS4, which as like double the install base of the XB1.
Multiplayer games on PS3/360 are pretty much dead right now unless its a Call Of Duty game or GTA V.

TIP: Buy the most popular console and you'll avoid these kinds of issues.

I just love gaming first and foremost. I don't care so much as what it looks like as long as it is entertaining. I do, however like my games to run smoothly and without much in terms of loading times.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing13d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit13d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing13d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9213d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
