41yo, lifelong casual gamer who has 100s of hours on many games and also goes years without playing any but also frequently jump in here and there.

I recently bought a PS5 Pro in anticipation of GTA6. I’m pretty shocked at how boring and lifeless big modern AAA games are. I feel like I’m basically playing a cinematic sequence in a Marvel-slop movie.

“ A game idea should be at least 90% mechanics and less than 10% story. Any more than 10% story is a red flag.” -Tynan Sylvester

Everything is just an Unreal engine demo now?
