I think people who claim “gaming is dead” are just burnt out of games. Doing anything for long enough requires you to take a new perspective eventually, otherwise it feels so samey.
Whenever someone talks about how “games aren’t fun anymore” and such I always think they either need to take a break and do something else or completely change the way they look at/play games, maybe with a different genre, franchise, era, challenge runs such as speedruns or fan mods, and so on.
Anyone saying gaming is dead either doesn’t play indie games, Baldur’s Gate, or doesn’t consider Nintendo to be “gaming.” In either case, it’s their loss. I’ve played so many amazing games this year.
I mean fair but at the same time if I only played fps games then that’s all gaming is to me.
So saying “gaming is dead” would apply since those are the only games I play.
This is a hypothetical btw I play more than fps and agree some companies are still producing quality content but you also can’t deny that most companies have definitely lowered their quality.
Newsflash: your experience is not universal. Just because you exclusively like one genre doesn’t make it accurate to say that that genre is gaming itself.
I didn’t say that the Premier League was dead during the first third or fourth of last season just because my favourite team played like crap and frequently got unlucky in the few games they didn’t. Because that would have been equally ridiculous.
You actually didn’t. You clarified that you yourself play more than one genre without backing down from your claim that a hypothetical someone only playing fps would be justified in saying that gaming is dead just because their own favorite genre is.
I think it’s because there’s another brand of mfers out there that see good games and go “it’s not for me, therefore nothing is”.
Yes, you dislike Tears of the Kingdom and Baldur’s Gate, hypothetical chucklefuck, here’s your award. Can you tell us what you DO like besides that instead? I finished (eh) Noita and Sonic Roboblast 2 last week, and have started Triangle Strategy and Prey. All good shit. Good games exist in everywhere.
Meanwhile: Baldur’s Gate 3
I don’t understand how there are so many youtube videos talking about how “gaming is dead” when we had so many big hits like this just this year alone

Hammerwatch II and Sea of Stars just in the past few weeks. En Garde not far off. The hardest part of gaming is finding the time.

Maybe we just want good fps games
So say fps gaming is dead, don’t try to claim all gaming is dead.

I know…I said that already…

Depends on what you’re looking for in FPS games, but Battlebit Remastered is a good time.
It definitely seems like it but it’s not available on Xbox
And we all know if One game in One genre isn’t on One console then gaming as a whole, the entire industry and hobby, is dead.
RIP in pieces Gaming.
