up to both upper posts
@ritasuma Its not difficulty, its complexity.
@Earl of Morrrrgantown some people say bloodborne is just that
When the motivation is only money, the quality of the product is poor
I don't think Paradox Interactive is going to be as good they are now in the future
Games have become big business
there are also games like 'the witness' which is essentially a giant 3D puzzle exploration game @Earl of Morrrrgantown
Yes, Jonathan Blow is great
He has the right philosophy about all this
ive been meaning to play that game, havent gotten around to it yet
The only AAA game that I consider complex is Kingdom Come Deliverance
im getting a copy for my mom, who introduced me to myst when i was about 5yo
At least one that I bought recently
If I list all of my favourite games of all time, I realize that almost all of them were made by only a few people
Certainly teams of less than 10
@Earl of Morrrrgantown ehhh
complex games do exist
Art by committee is a mistake
That doesn't hold true only for games, but you can look to films and other media where you can see that the greatest masterpieces are often created by auteurs
Most gamers are unfortunately too stupid to care for a game accurately portraying Medieval Europe.
It's really that most _people_ are too stupid
Games have begun appealing to much wider audiences
And this necessitates that they be catered to with simpler, less challenging systems
My brother is so retarded, he didn't know that you can't nor should murder everybody in Goodsprings in New Vegas at the start
You probably can slaughter the entire town later but not a level 1
Bethesda has ruined TES by appealing to retards
TES is a clear example of how things are dumbing down
I feel uneasy about TES6
Morrowind imo was superior to Daggerfall
In Skyrim, its almost all cosmetic
Also, Morrowind was better but Daggerfall was the most complex
Dagoth Ur did nothing wrong
I'm a God!
What a grand and intoxicating innocence
The story of TES3 is what sets it apart
That was the golden era of games imo, from around 1999-2004
So much creativity and interesting innovation
After that it all seemed to become incestuously derivative and driven only by a lust for money
