Gaming pretty much finished ‘evolving’ by 6th gen

[Pikacel]

Pretty much every niche and genre was filled by mid 2000s. Everything past that is just gimmicks you don’t really need. Gaming hasn’t really advanced since.

You still have the same MMOs, indie games (Cave Story and Touhou), AA singleplayer, first person shooters, GTA, sports games, remakes, strategic sims. It’s all the same.

AAA companies should keep in mind that gaming is a complete medium. Nothing needs to be innovated

I kinda agree, but I'd say the innovations peaked around 2010. That's not to say all games past that point are bad. Good games still keep coming out. But looking back, you can really tell that some features are just forced and even annoying.

Maybe there will be remakes with cut unnecessary content?
Simplified, without the fluff, taking less time to finish. Many remakes already have fast travel and other such quality of life solutions.

They innovated in how gay they are

By the 7th generation imho

Graphics are prioritised over everything. The overall quality of games suffers because of it and the fact all games today are pushing some degenerate woke politics. That's why I enjoy older games the most.

Mostly agree. The only major difference in current titles compared to lets say 2014-2020 titles graphics wise is ray tracing which in vast majority of cases doesn't make the game look that much better in my opinion but what it does is making the game perform like absolute shit. And interms of gameplay and story i actually feel like games are actually devolving

I'm bored of doing side quests as an add-on
