I know this is PatientGamers, but can we discuss how even the current generation of consoles seems to ask for patience as they aren’t that many games 4 years after their release?

Stumbled upon this video, which kind of summarizes the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJxaIP8F3K8

In summary

  • lack of risk taking by the industry
  • lack of creativity
  • industry prioritizes profit by making games compatible with the previous consoles generation
  • removal of split screen
  • outdated voice communication compared to PC Discord
  • disabled voice communication by default

For people here who have a current console, what do you think about this?

I think the Switch and the Steamdeck/PC are where the creativity is. Indie devs are making games themselves instead of working for large game development studios. If it’s popular enough they publish on Switch as well since it’s Arm based. Mobile is where it’s at honestly.

Agreed, I’m fairly impressed how many games Nintendo is still releasing for Switch very late in its lifetime.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it’s price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don’t meet the system requirements, or just haven’t had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
