"gaming is dead"

except they’re on console
Until Dawn catching strays
My eye immediately went to Until Dawn & Detroit: Become Human, and I was like "Wait! Both these are dope!"
I really like Butterfly Effect decision games.
I didn't play Detroit for so long because I expected it to be like most other interactive movie type games where you maybe make 3 total decisions that actually have an effect on the whole story. Checked it out on PS+ and still felt that way up until I finished the first level and it shows the fucking massive decision tree of all the possible choices you could have made in that segment and was blown away. Hella them I didn't even notice were viable things I could have tried.
This is what these kinds of games should be. It's fucking amazing. It actually gives replayability to something that, in the past, was more of a one and done deal.
Bruh, yes, I know exactly what you mean. I'm actually getting ready to replay D:BH again because the last time I played was about 1.5+ years ago, and I think I've finally forgotten all my decisions. My husband said I got one of the best endings he's ever seen someone get, and I really didn't want to be tempted to answer everything the same. There's SO MANY ways that game can go/end, and I want to explore them all!
I made the mistake of playing Until Dawn first, then D:BH, and then I downloaded the Dark Pictures Anthology and played 2 out of the 4 of those. I'm sure those would have hit different had I played them first, but knowing that the ending is ultimately the same no matter which direction you go definitely ruins the replayability. All 4 run into the very issue you were worried about with Detroit.
That doesn't look like a gaming laptop, either. $20 says it has integrated graphics.
Reminds me of the "gaming laptops" at Walmart. The other day I saw a RoG laptop being sold with an AMD 740M, a integrated GPU from 2023 with performance from 2010. They dressed it up all pretty with RGB and a 144hz display to make it look like it could actually run games, and then had the nerve to charge $699 for it.
I hate shit like this so much cause people who don't know any better will buy this thing, get 15 FPS in modern titles and think that PC gaming sucks, when it's just their computer that sucks.
Mine is all farming/sim/tower defense. Because I no longer play (have the visual acuity for) fps I’ve heard I’m not a real gamer.
Sounds like it’s RPG time. Baldurs Gate 3. The original dragon age. ME trilogy. Dishonored 1 & 2. Fallout 3 or 4. Divinity original sin. Greedfall.
I mean I'm also guilty of playing like the same 5 games, haven't moved on since like 2023
alternatively, own hundreds of games and play none of them
Rogue-likes killed indie game development on the opposite side of this spectrum.
what do you mean?
Because there's a boom of Roguelite games and assumedly they don't like it. For my part I love how many options and different spins on the genre/idea there are.
ffs let people enjoy things
That's not the point of this thread. It's people who only play AAA titles complaining that "gaming is dead" because AAA games are all annual recycled bullshit, despite this being the best time ever for indie/niche/mid-size games.
