I can't wait for the Angry Birds kids to reach their early twenties and start bitching about how the video games of the 2020's are utter crap compared to the flawless masterpieces they played in their youth.
Pretty much. Every generation ever thinks it's the first and last to have sex and good music, though, so I guess it's high time video games got on the list.
My claim is legit. I enjoy modern music and modern films if they are of quality, as well as modern games. The problem is the gaming market is ridden with mediocre titles which get purchased by most of those who've been lately jumping into the gaming wagon. It's as if most of the advancement in making gaming a deeper, more artistic experience suddenly receeded when all the grandmas and aunts started playing the Wii and realized videogames were fun.
That said, it would be nice if you tried to actually discredit my opinion instead of trying to discredit me. Why is Skyrim a good game? It's bug-ridden and unpolished, the world is empty as a shell, characters are flat, the story is not innovative in the slightest, the gameplay has been invented 15 years ago, the game has chunks of boring shallow travelling empty landscapes in between the "good" bits, the combat gets boring after a few hours, and the skill system and general ruleset is completely broken and imbalanced.
Sure, adventure mode in DF has some of those problems as well, but it innovates in different directions, tries to offer new stuff, has much deeper gameplay, and is not marketed as a 60€ game. And it's (still) more than an add-on to the Fortress mode than anything, yet. When the next version comes out, DF's "extra", its adventure mode, will probably offer a much bigger experience than half the AAA open world games you guys are buying for 40-60 bucks each.
