Video games are the only medium that's gotten better with time.  That said I'm mid-30s playing RDR2

Oldschool video games, have aged very well. The medium of video games though have gone to poo. All this P2W/P2P bs, honestly should he outlawed in my opinion. Video games are dying.

The billion battle royal clones, no better. The release of sports games every fuging year.

there is only a handful of games that can possible save VG’s at this point. 

I’m curious if you know what they are.

Pong>Atari>Nintendo>Sega>PS>Xbox>PC

It is impossible.  Impossible, I say, to argue that VG's have gotten worse.

You may not like the format or current gaming fads but in totality, VG's are better now than in 2000.  In 2000 they were better than 1990.  In 1990 they were better than 1980.

I guess I'm speaking on graphics and what the games can do and the experiences they can offer now vs then.  You are correct in the assessment that the VG corps are trying to micro-purchase themselves into destruction.  The fortnite online battle crap will lose its luster  eventually.

Easy buddy, I had an Intellivision before anyone ever even heard of a Plumber that eats shrooms.

Lol man I thought there was no way they could ever do better than an intellivision. They were so awesome. I actually have my original one and one that has never been opened. Fond memories of lock and Chase. Lol

Its not that video games are dying, they are just transitioning to the much more popular slot machines.

You are speaking in terms of graphics and sophistication. There is no doubt that has evolved. Multi player especially has really morphed games into another dimension.

What has devolved is depth, immersion, and imagination. Games now are meaningless. The time developers put into graphics and eye candy trumps depth a millions times over.

Back in the day games were made to spend hours on, immerse yourself and have meaning. Beating a game meant more than ‘achievements’, after the game was beaten you’d miss it. There were lessons and memories created within the game. Time and money was spent on making it so. And if it was achieved, the game was a success.

Now games are a dime a dozen. Games are built for instant gratification. It’s the reason why a new call of duty comes out every year and is considered successful. People want better graphics, new content and user friendly gameplay that will entertain them for the instant, but they most certainly are not created to be memorable. Why? The next one is just a few months away.

It’s the reason RGPs have died out and are now we had MRPGs, which have then morphed into more action MRPGs (MRPGs did not offer instant enough entertainment). Whereas single player games had to focus on content. In today’s age it’s like catching the eye of the fish with something shiny, not something that requires comprehension. It’d be too much time developing something the mass doesn’t care about.

Graphics and interactive abilities (multi) carry more value in this day and age than any kind of meaningful content or well thought out story created and implanted.

It’s the exact same way with movies. A quick eye candy orientated flick that is fun to see but you’ll forget very quickly what you just saw leaving the theatre.

I wouldn’t say anything is dying but being catered to what people want now days. And if you’re a fan of depth and meaningful gratification that takes understanding and relating to unfortunately the world’s idea  of entertainment is not for you.

So it really depends on what kind of game player you are to say games are ‘dead’ or not. But the masses will always win, money will always win and fade out quality or the contrary. That’s not just the gaming world, or entertainment world, but the world in general.
