Every game has different problems, but are there any common denominators between most, if not all of them?

Writing in most of them is s*** tier.

they are all dopamine click farms designed for addiction with insidious monetization this is why i only play classic wow private servers. activision are not getting my moneys

Boring/slow traversal

LOOT BOX MECHANISMS I SHOULDNT PAY $70 FOR A GAME BUT NOT GET THE WHOLE S*** IDC

long / boring cutscenes (better to not have any at all)

• microtransactions
• take up a lot of storage
• advertising in menus/ui
• battlepass/freemium progression
• lack of split screen
• artificial game lengthening sequences

Lack of content because it's being held for a dlc. Bring back the good days of unlocking stuff just by doing s*** in the game

If you only play mmos or live service games yeah

Play better games

there are none im afraid

they're not real

I wanna actually be able to f*** one of the aliens from Mass Effect

Lot of issues people are talking itt are really pretaining to just one game type or the big 3 of ass called EA, Activision & Blizzard.

• But the real universal problem that plagues literally everythijg except maybe like 3 percent of games:

Multiple deluxe versions of the same game that keep increasing by 20 dollars.

Even a lot of hardcore/focused single player games have this issue. Even some Nintendo games have this issue.

S*** is super ass. Especially the digital versions.

I f***ing hate forced walking scenes for one

Esports transforming gaming from hobby to toxic community. Like if I have to refer to numerous online guides and other resources in order to get good at a game, I’d rather not play. I love gaming but it isn’t my only hobby. If I’m dedicating hours everyday in order to compete with the kids I’d rather just dedicate that time and effort to other hobbies tbh. Not trying to grind street fighter 5 hours a day to get master rank. I’m not doing all that. and developers “overdeveloping” their games in order to stay modern. For instance drive rush and drive impact did not need to be in street fighter. Not only this but why the hell would do certain characters has certain strong abilities that others characters don’t. Apex has this problem as well in that some characters are playing one game while others are playing another. Game loses credibility as a competitive game imo they developers do this

how NPCs will never walk at the same pace as you

Ludonarrative dissonance, if you have basically any degree of freedom in gameplay vs any degree of story, it's incredibly easy to act in ways that wouldn't make sense for your character

I loved The Last of Us 2, but I'd find myself retreating to look for items in situations where 'in character' I'd be running frantically in the other direction

I don't really think there's any way to fix this besides extreme railroading which feels opposed to the interactivity of the medium, so I think it's something that'll always be there

If you thoroughly explore any open world RPG the end will be too easy

Lack of innovation in NPC/enemy AI

If we being honest $70 ain’t covering the cost of production among most triple A games

If we being honest CEOs get paid too much while their employees can't feed themselves.

Agreed.

crying

pay to win & micro transactions
