I used to be a passionate gamer, and I often find myself nostalgic for the golden era of video games when there were new ideas popping left and right.
Now, it feels like we’re caught between long-delayed triple-A titles and a constant stream of indie platformers. Originality seems to have taken a backseat, with many games regurgitating the same concepts.
What do you think defined the golden era of gaming? Are we currently in a rut, or is there a chance for fresh ideas to emerge again?
I can’t say I can think of one. I mean sure there is nostalgia but can’t say games are getting worse you just can’t expect something great all the time or even every year. I mean some games I spent the most time on is like oregon trail, avatar, shadow run genesis edition, ff10, the cryptic mmos, and lately cyberpunk and elden ring and the harry potter one. I liked the mmos but they were to much of a sink. would love for them to be converted to some sort of online/offline thing were I might be able to enjoy it again.
