recent: tears of the kingdom, or as i like to call it botw 1.2, its the same thing all over again just with one or two added gimicks, the open world is dead, npcs are boring and nintendo just got away with it like that

not so recent: i cant stand persona 5, joker and his entourage are annoying teenagers, the time management is a horrible gameplay addition and the artstyle is just a visual overstimulation

with that being said,~~ plz dont kill me~~

I was watching an escapist video about modern life service games and he said "saying a game is more fun with friends is a virtue of your friends, not the game."

If a game needs friends to be fun, I think it's just a garbage game.

I don't think that always holds water, some games are just made to be played with others. Nobody is going to accuse Counter-Strike of being bad just because playing against bots isn't the most thrilling experience. But for games like Borderlands definitely. Point being, the logic goes it's bad and only saved by playing with friends doesn't stop it from being a bad game, not that a game is bad just because it's more fun with friends.

I guess I'm more specifically referring to the modern looter shooter live service bullshit that's been taking over the industry. Not standard PvP multiplayer. Of course that's the intended experience there, can't blame that.
