Creativity is dead.
Gameplay looks as same as every game released since 2010, its BORING.
Long ass game, what about linearity?
Microtransactions/macrotransactions, loot boxes, season pass, day 1 pass.
Too much 3rd person Perspective.
Politics into games.

I Have exactly the same thought. Almost every game feels monotonous as they feature the same unoriginal storyline or gameplay. Wish I could go back to simplier times.
well atleast I still play old games, recently bought ps2 & ps3 (I was PC Gamer all the time)
Ayeee just recently dug up my old ps2 and WWE 2007. We ballin tonight!!
HTML games have become a joke outside of 2 (College Daze and Gateway)
VN's have slowly been devolving, although to me, it's less about creativity being dead and more about hundreds of people hopping on the train because they either A.) Want to make their own wacky game with little knowledge of using the engine or writing a cohesive story, and B.) See how they can capitalize off making a shitty game by making 6 sloppy chapters and getting a couple dozen patreon subs before abandoning ship with the money.
As much as I am not a fan of this period, it's still better than what it was 7-8 years ago because regardless of the issues, more people are willing to make games, and with that, sometimes you get some serious gems. So it could be better, but could also be a lot worse.
I also realized after posting this you were talking about normal games outside of porn. So let me edit this to say that yes, I agree, creativity is dead.

Hell yeah brother.
Very well said! I have also noticed that most games being released or updated nowadays are either cash grabs or poorly executed. Most people underestimate how difficult it can be to create a wee written and executed game, and its sad to see that most games that are pushed through are mostly garbage and the ones that are truely amazing are shoved in the backburner and been shadoewed by mostly meh games.
Yeaaahhh nahhhhh, youll be having your child before gta6 comes out or atleast be playeable.
I'm almost 40 and don't have any yet, so i doubt that.
Bioware is pretty dead to me but they better not mess up the next Mass Effect or Dragon Age. But i know, its EA.
I dont see EA changing directions anytime soon. Most likely aint gon be too good but lets hope it aint gonna be too bad either.
New ME teaser trailer came out 3 years ago and radio silence since. I don't know if thats a good or bad sign.
After that Anthem disaster, my trust have been shattered. Fingers cross to new Dragon Age or Mass Effect.
You forgot to mention Andromeda. Poor devs given no time to make the game and forced to use Frostbite engine.
With advances in technology etc the quality of some renders etc has gone up. But story telling is still kinda the same. With rules and regulations .. well that is another topic. Softcore is mainstream .. checkout Face book and u tube . Or ice spic e . Shaking ass is main steam

For me, the main problem is the cliched plot of most games. Even considering that we are talking about porn games, we need a story that can capture and hold the player's attention, characters that have a certain background and character that can be developed, and finally, relationships should not just be about sex, but should be more realistic, because any relationship has its ups and downs. In one game, which I love very much, for 5 hours of gameplay there were only two sex scenes, but nevertheless I could not get away from this game, because I saw the characters as living people, with their strengths and weaknesses.
But alas, more often than not, the characters are absolutely two-dimensional, devoid of content and personality.

oh fuck, how could I forgot that boring ass Andromeda. Frostbite engine really smashed those Bioware's faces especially those facial animations holy shit.
I still remember that quote from Andromeda "your father is god damm liar, sorry my face is tired"
And with all these visual advancements, comes with more need for POWER AND STORAGE. IM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING THAT MAYBE GAME DEVS AND HARDWARE COMPANIES ARE SECRETELY IN AN AGREEMENT . THEY KEEP RELEASING MORE HARDWARE DEMANDING GAMES SO THAT WE KEEP BUYING NEWER HARDWARE!!!
