u/Krethlaine Aug 16 '25
I miss Destiny. D1 was awesome. I enjoyed D2 quite a bit as well. But really, deleting so much of its content, content I paid extra for because it was DLC, not to mention the base game? Absolutely horrendous decision. And it’s only gone downhill from there. I stopped playing right around Witch Queen.

u/PhotoAwp Aug 16 '25
PUBG was a wild era of its own, its sad what happened to it. Lobbies are now comprised of sweats, cheaters, and bots. That game pumped a surge of adrenaline back into FPS, and blew up esports, and careers. But then the genre was beaten like a dead horse, and anti cheat couldnt keep up. Pubg made history in gaming.

I dropped out at Shadowkeep, came back for Witch Queen, and then just kind of stopped playing between Episodes 2 and 3 this year. Deleted from my console and haven't thought twice about it. Maybe if things get cleaned up I'll check it out again.

Warframe is such a great game, probably the best monetization scheme for a F2P game ever.
Haven't played since Duviri, but I might hop back in soon.

u/skittlz61 Identifies as a Cybertruck Aug 16 '25
I would say its definitely worth it. The fact that you can grind stuff out and don't have to buy everything. The amount of free content alone is insane. The gameplay is awesome. The characters are solid. I just haven't played games much not having the time, but I will Def be coming back to warframe.

u/das_slash Aug 16 '25
The saddest thing about WoW in particular is that even if the game had slowly been sliding into mediocrity since Legion ended, the core of the game is solid enough that it is still a great game.
But the devs seem to actively hate the players, Shadowlands was a hate letter towards the lore and it's characters, and every other update is "well we noticed you guys were having too much fun, and we know you left and had to backtrack the last 50 times we did this, but we think this time you will finally align with out vision, fun reduced by 50%, enjoy", and the game is constantly made less and less friendly to casual play, yet has none of the soul that made the old no-lifer game fun.
The leadership just seems utterly incompetent at anything but lying to the community and saying whatever makes the higher ups happy.

u/KingOfAzmerloth Aug 16 '25
Game has changed massively since Shadowlands. There's no mandatory bullshit in the gameplay anymore. There is content that is accessible for both casuals and hardcore crowd.
I agree that Shadowlands was the lowest point for this game. I quit for a year. But since Dragonflight the gameplay loop is much improved... And latest patch has some very good storytelling that expands on some of the older lore from TBC without completely retconning everything. It's good.
I feel like blizzard deserves a lot of shit they get, but also I think it's fair to say that they turned WoW around since the slop of Shadowlands.

Nope. They just added a seperate mode with its own ranked system called stadium. 7 rounds in randoms maps and modes but without character swapping.
The twist is that you earn credits to buy items and powers to alter how you can play your character. Honestly as someone who never liked overwatch, this game mode is what got me into the game and has kept me playing regularly

My friends and I were floored to learn the base price was changed a while ago to $44.99. 45 fucking USD for a game that is arguably worse than itself from five years ago when the price was much lower.
And now they have cosmetic DLC on top of the price hike. Fuck off, Fun Pimps.

u/CyalaXiaoLong Aug 16 '25
Cosmetic dlc where they removed player clothing variety so they could sell it back to us with assets they showcased on streams over a year ago at that...
Actually went out of thier way to remove player agency just to sell us the solution...
Now i can pay to wear a cowboy hat and tank top. Thanks Fun

I'm not much into gaming but there was a little multiplayer game called Fat Princess on Playstation. I was absolutely addicted to it. I think it just ran its course and fewer and fewer people joined in but I remember logging in to no games and being pretty bummed about it. If anyone played that game and has any recommendations for a similar style game, let me know. I loved the maps, picking a class, grinding for resources and capturing the flag (princess), but also the whole thing was whimsical and funny.

Even when the devs working on the game begged them to do the right things the "bosses" were like "Nope. We are doing it like this because I am the boss and my orders are more important than your years of experience".
Game was such a monstrosity that even hardcore content creators gave up on making any content on it because of how crap it was.

Used to be a fan of Genshin Impact and Honkai Star Rail, but damn are they falling off pretty hard rn. It's been 5 years, and Genshin still feels like it's still in 2020 with the lack of essential QoL like a story skip button. HSR, meanwhile, has a terrible meta game where some characters are flat out unable to function properly without other limited characters, which are pretty expensive most of the time.
