Anyone saying gaming is dead either doesn't play indie games, Baldur's Gate, or doesn't consider Nintendo to be "gaming." In either case, it's their loss. I've played so many amazing games this year.

Hammerwatch II and Sea of Stars just in the past few weeks. En Garde not far off. The hardest part of gaming is finding the time.

Maybe we just want good fps games

So say fps gaming is dead, don't try to claim all gaming is dead.

I mean fair but at the same time if I only played fps games then that's all gaming is to me.

So saying "gaming is dead" would apply since those are the only games I play.

This is a hypothetical btw I play more than fps and agree some companies are still producing quality content but you also can't deny that most companies have definitely lowered their quality.

Newsflash: your experience is not universal. Just because you exclusively like one genre doesn't make it accurate to say that that genre is gaming itself.

I didn't say that the Premier League was dead during the first third or fourth of last season just because my favourite team played like crap and frequently got unlucky in the few games they didn't. Because that would have been equally ridiculous.

I know...I said that already...

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

You actually didn't. You clarified that you yourself play more than one genre without backing down from your claim that a hypothetical someone only playing fps would be justified in saying that gaming is dead just because their own favorite genre is.

Depends on what you're looking for in FPS games, but Battlebit Remastered is a good time.

It definitely seems like it but it's not available on Xbox

And we all know if One game in One genre isn't on One console then gaming as a whole, the entire industry and hobby, is dead.

RIP in pieces Gaming.
