I'm sorry but some of yall are clearly out of touch with shooters


Fact is console fps gaming is dead. If you want the fps of yesteryear, get on pc and find discords.

As far as game chats and stuff yeah Xbox can ban you. That's not a thing on pc. I play apex and they don't monitor voice chat and it's very difficult to be banned for it even if reported. The apex subreddit has proof of respawn devs saying they can't monitor voice and ban for it, only text.

Warzone and some other battle royals have proximity chat, which is light years more fun than pre lobby chats. You can **** talk in real time while fighting people. You think pre game lobbies got you gassed up? Lmao try **** talking while you're actually shooting at the person. It's next level.

Idk yeah of course fps has changed, but you are simply on the wrong platform. There is no community in console fps. Get a PC where you don't have to pay and be subjected to Microsoft or Playstation terms of service. 50 percent of console players have no mic, the other 50 percent have a hot mic you have to mute anyways.


You're using a console targeted for kids and teenagers and acting surprised that you're being treated like a kid or teenager. Grow up to the pc master race where you won't be banned for some trash talk. (unless you play soy blizzard games)


The age of twitch and the ban hammer of xbox/Sony killed console fps. Every teenager wants to be the next Dr disrespect or shroud so they are all on pc.

Console is where kids or grandpa's play shooters.

Y'all complain day in, day out about games. Just quit or go retro already.

Me personally, I know what to avoid, so I don't have those problems. I know simply avoiding anything from Ubisoft, EA, Activision and all sports games gets rid of the bulk of bad game.

Currently playing Witcher 3, Cyberpunk, Alien Isolation, and having a great time.

You have to add Unreal Engine games for PC on the list too because of the shader issues. Retro is the future tbh. It isn't sustainable for this many games to be broken. People are getting sick of it.

Lol all FPS are trash no matter the platform. Funny how to talk about things being for kids then mention Apex Legends, the same game with pink guns, bunny ears, and exploding rsinbows coming out of your ass. Everything is arena twitch shooting.

Bring back OG Battlefield, Medal of Honor, and Socom for crying out loud.

I DO agree however about getting a PC. I'm at that age where I'm tired of the furry dweeb taking over everything. Give my a rtx 5090 PC with GTA 6 and Cyberpunk. That's all I need to happy, the rest of the industry can due in a fiery crash for all I care


Imagine thinking grown men should be playing this:

Seems like everywhere I look these days I see people talking about how awful they think modern gaming has become. Makes me wonder who the hell keeps buying all these games. The people who complain about people complaining just come off as the sucker consumers these days, just people with really low standards who have no clue how much better gaming could be. The Disney/Marvel fans of gaming.

You are right, the majority of these people are consoomers who just buy whatever they're told is good and then they make youtube/twitch videos about it. What really gets me is the amount of preorders going on. I would never preorder a modern game lol.

Helldivers is a great example. Got good reviews and of course it had issues on PC but people still had to buy it on day 1 lol.

Idk, people are legit retarded. Another reason is that they could be new to gaming and don't know any better, but that's only the new sub base, not the old


There's a sub reddit on Ubisoft's AAAA game, Skull & Bones. You should read the amount of COPE those stupid cucks spew. The game is terrible but they somehow justify that crap.

People like that sub reddit is why the game industry is so bad. People who buy COD every year. People who buy NBA 2k every year. People who buy every Asscreed.

Yup, saw how a lot of people were bitching about not even being able to play the game due to the servers being overloaded. Just LMAO @ modern gaming where you need permission from the internet before you can even play the phucking things.

Spot on with the youtuber/twitch influencer chit as well, it's just all a part of the consumerism marketing machine, people shilling whatever the latest thing happens to be to keep everyone buying all this crap. The low IQ and easily influenced never seem to question it though, if anything they just get mad at people who complain about it lol. I'm sure deep down a lot of them know they're just suckers wasting money on crap because some tools on the internet told them to, so it makes them upset to encounter people who know better.

I just like to call em the Disney/Marvel fans of gaming these days. Same exact type of people really, same type of thinking and energy fueling them as well. I've seen other people describe them as "the cheese cake factory customers of gaming" lol.

Yep, the shill aspect is something you used to not see from gamers. Nowadays they are all shills for their particular brand and think everything else sucks. I mean it's no wonder the gaming culture is so toxic nowadays.

Yup, gaming sites/forums went from places where people who enjoy video games share to their hobby/passion to places where a bunch of shills and consumers gather to market the latest thing, fanboy for their favorite corporations, and silence or personally attack anyone who doesn't like it.

Nah, I've seen how things have changed too much to fall for this kinda bullchit. It's definitely different now, the corporate fanboyism and consumerism has really gone into overdrive. People are more ignorant and less willing to discuss things than ever.

Back then we literally just said "Sega sucks" without any informed opinion.

We literally used to do the exact same thing as kids.

It's no different than ford vs chevy or whatever boomers care about (Colt vs S&W?).

Wahh wahh wahh
If you guys like old games so much then go play them and stop whining

Currently having a blast with Tekken 8, modern Nintendo titles are still goated, FromSoft about to release the best DLC of all time

The problem is you dweebs fixate on ****ty western commercialized propaganda games. Go Japan.

Gaming has never been better. Just gotta know what to play and avoid the garbage that’s released these days.

Downloading games is 100% more convenient than having to drive to a store. Games were also $50-$60 even 20 years ago yet with all of the improvements made today in modern games and despite inflation they still come out at $70.

You guys harp on about graphics all the time now complaining about file size? Can’t have it both ways boy

I feel like people just have trouble with the overwhelming amount of options. When you'd drive to the gaming store and there were 20-30 options they were usually all quite good. Now you have thousands of options and over half of them are chit.

I don't even have nearly enough time to play all the games I enjoy nowadays.

That’s not entirely true though. The ps2 era was notorious for having the most games released for a console of all time (4,000+) and about 90% of them were absolute chit games not to mention you still had to pay for them.

Nowadays you have game pass for what $15 a month and have an endless catalogue of games. Yes there are a chit ton of games on there but it’s not hard to scan through it and skip all the junk

I think back then our tastes were different to. Games I used to rent from blockbuster for my n64 would get absolutely crucified by reviews in 2024 but for me as a kid they were fun. Even today if I were to play them I would only play them out of nostalgia not because they are inherently better than today’s games. Tastes change and the standards are set very very high these days with the advancements that are being made
