There are no more games.
Well, the title is a little strange but hear me out, last year I actually managed to snatch a Steam Deck for the first time and at first I was very excited I could play and bring with me all my PC games anywhere, much like I do with the rest of my gadgets in my pocket world.
However after the first half of last year I began to notice I was mostly playing old games on the Deck and smartphone games on my iPad, why is that? The last proper new AAA title I bought on steam(full price and everything) was actually Resident Evil 4 RE and GranblueFantasy Relink and VS Rising. (and this year so far only VF5 REVO but thats a 20 year old game too!) so where are my stellar new games???...
I notice theres a horrible lack of proper stories and gameplay that are actually able to 'disconnect' you enough to actually get into the game for hours and hours or days even so it's becoming more and more difficult (at least for me) to play new games.
I thought it was only something from my side but i've noticed several people on the net complaining about exactly the same, there are no good stories now at least in the mainstream CS games (console games),
then what is the alternative? Nintendo? oh no, not Nintendo!! children these days aren't really interested in Nintendo so the majority of the Nintendo demographic that I've seem are manchild and groomers clinging to the usual Nintendo IPs, Mario, Zelda, Metroid and whatnot. Nintendo is going the same path as Disney and LEGO....
The few Alpha kids I've met in recent times are more interested in doomscrolling TikTok, Fortnite or directly in the Skibidi Toilet,
in fact im pretty sure they decided to make up these silly brainrots of pure boredom due how boring and annoying the shows and stuff catered for younger audiences had become due of being overtaken the millenial/zoomer kidult crew and trying to shove everyone with the usual alphabet manifestos, marxism and shit like that...
So where to go if you wanna play mature games??, Mobile Games of course! since the space is very competitive theres no place here for DEI or watered down stories, games have improved a lot in quality and are catering to a more adult public,
The problem with these games in my opinion is the game loop itself is still very basic so it feels like you are playing only Visual Novels, but things are changing with games like GFL2, ZZZ, NIKKE, Blue Archive and such.
