Recently I’ve been addicted to Mario Bros on Super Mario Advance 3.

Do you have game pass by chance ? I’ve had odd issues with older Xbox systems and the use of game pass without auto renew on. It caused several different error codes.

Once the subscription ran out it worked fine. Most likely not your issue but I figured it’s worth mentioning

Really any “service” games. Or for that matter any game that’s just looking to copy the newest hottest MP trend.

Speaking of lack of marketing did anyone else think was an MMO ? For a long time I thought it was a sequel to Black Desert or a big expansion. I just found out a few months ago it’s a single player game

It’s also been 50 years since the first home console came out. Your point ?

Do you still play those games? A lot?

Donkey Kong was one of the first games that had a story in arcades … was it complex ? No. But it was a draw for people …

4 good games doesn’t make up for 500 other absolute trash ones.

I did say it was a hot take didn’t I ?

I am not saying there aren’t any good games. My argument is there are fewer and fewer year in and year out. Especially at high production levels.

For every 4 decent games I find 500 absolute rubbish. Not to mention the high profile games that had their servers up for a month or less. can’t say I’ve heard that often in my life time.

Sure you can point out to 4 games and claim victory and piss on my grave. But from perspective you’re missing the point…

I’m glad a few people are willing to see through specifics and look at the outright trends. And you are right algorithms and current social media make certain things more apparent then others.

But my general point still stands, it feels like there is more garbage than there has ever been before.

As for the wasting time, I see people are taking this too literally. I’m taking about (subjective) worth for putting time and money into a game. I feel like the ratio of value to time in modern games has drastically gone out of balance at least for me personally.

Not a fan of those games …

I need to find friends to play this with …

I lived for the weekend trips to blockbuster.

I only played a pirated copy of the game :X

I didn’t beat most games I played when I was younger

Good tastes

Remember the old days when people ran out of stock on game copies ? MGS is no slouch of a purchase either

Demo discs where my gateway to my gaming obsession

Oh nooo classic series but evil bug :(

Seen commercials for them never played one
