A horrifying thought just occurred to me: this is the version of the song for Debbie’s two kids in high school.

FUCK.

oh boy, now i get to enjoy… basic features that should have been there at launch?

seems this is a recurring thing nowadays. i pray to god fable 4 doesn’t suck the big one.

I really don’t understand where this sentiment of games feeling like a “chore” is now suddenly applicable to ONLY modern gaming. Let’s not sit around and pretend that a sizable chunk of older games weren’t insane clusterfuck monotonous slogfests either. This is NOT a “modern gaming” trope, insanely grindy and tedious games have been around since video games were a thing.

As the top comment said, it’s the same with Ubisoft, Activision, etc etc.

In all honesty, the gaming community is just… rather dumb. These people will spend dozens of hours on twitter bashing these developers to hell and back, but what are the top sellers every year? FIFA. Madden. CoD. Ubisoft games. Activision games.

This community will sit here and curse these developers and gaming companies with their last dying breath, but the fact of the matter is these SAME people continue to buy the games and be content with what’s equivalent to digital slop. It’s frustrating.

At this point I’m not whether sure I should be angry, cry, or laugh while crying.

Whatever happened after the frutiger aero days. Everything after that era of design is just a shitty solid color with maybe a gradient color if the design team is feeling particularly zesty. Back then, UI’s were designed to be cozy and comfortable. Now it’s just stiff and professional.
