I feel like this is attempted trolling/rage baiting.
Why do you think there is a lack of fun games these days? Would you say things are “too woke”? It seems like there’s no shortage of “fun games” both in development and released in the last year. Why do you think there are no fun games, you’re happy to announce your theory, I’d like to hear it backed up.
My theory is you’re jaded or cynical, or just rage baiting.
I mean, considering the state of the industry, while yes, its an overly jaded and cynical take, I can absolutely see where its coming from. We’ve had repeated cases of games launching unfinished, only getting more common and more accepted, you’ve got increasingly greedy companies happy ruining perfectly good games to try and squeeze out more money like in Overwatch 2, even single player games aimed at kids are full of them. I was trying out Lego 2K Drive, hoping it would be a nostalgic return to the Lego Racing games, but its chock full of microtransactions, with even common parts like the 1x2 grill available in basically Lego set featuring a vehicle only available in a store, with rotating stock to cause FOMO.
While yes, good games do still exist, accusing someone of being a troll for getting jaded witnessing the increasing prevalence and success of these practice is completely uncalled for.
Edit: Quick correction: the 1x2 grill was eventually added to the third battlepass. Doesn’t change the fact that a huge part of the content is locked behind scummy microtransactions. Also found out that, you can’t name your vehicles without an internet connection.
There have also been some pretty hyped games that ended up being disappointing. For example:
Starfield
Modern Warfare 3
Cities Skylines 2
Gollum
Overwatch 2
Payday 3
And that’s just the past year.
There were also plenty of fun games as well. But OP isn’t talking about those, they’re merely pointing out that this seems like a fun game, which contrasts with the anticipated, but poorly executed games from the past year.
