i honestly don't know many people who play "current" games anymore. i usually wait a few years before trying a new game myself because most of them are mid
The people I see mostly staying up to date with new releases are nintendo stuff? I really don't see people getting hype over arena shooter #69 and such.
Video game Disney adults
i wish we were still getting arena shooters
It's all extraction shooters now
i still don't know what that means. when i play warframe i shoot things and then i go to the extraction point
Extraction shooters are a little bit like battle royales except you can leave any time you want at a few contested points on the map and the incentive for staying and risking people shooting at you is randomized loot which you use for meta progression and/or combat gear for future runs
sounds like definitely not my kind of thing but i guess i can see the appeal
It's basically that, but people can shoot you and steal your stuff
not my stuff!
yea, the only people i do know that play current releases are nintendo fans so
I feel like it’s the opposite for the people I know. I know plenty of people with an old Switch who might play one or two games a year on or just break out Mario Kart when visitors come over, but it’s the people I know with a PS5 or a gaming PC who keep up with the new releases.
The price is the main issue for me. Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2 is like £60 for the standard edition and the campaign is maybe 10 hours if you really push it.
The trick is to play the current games that are actually good and not the newest shoveling of AAA slop
