This is what’s actually literally killing gaming (sort of)

This is what’s actually literally killing gaming

And by actually, I mean “in my opinion.” And by literally, I mean “figuratively”

Interesting read.

And IMO, things are just going to get worse as the years go buy.

There are but a select few Developers that just DO IT RIGHT for the gamers. As an example, the guys making The Witcher 3.

I think a big issue as well is that games are made for 10 year olds. When last did you play a game on Brutal (usually the hardest setting) and think... this is kinda easy. Starcraft WOL's last few missions took me weeks at a time on brutal. I'd have notes to when to do what and when other things would spawn. It was a challenge. In contrast I cleared HotS on Brutal within 2 days, feeling disappointed.

A lot of games since just wasn't a challenge.
In the old days, finishing some games on hard was really an honour, because they were just that.. HARD.

I always say this.

Games aren't what they used to be! I miss the good old HARD games. Dark Souls gave me that experience back.
