Wait, gaming is shit now and it was great in the past?

I agree about the speed of progress, but someone is forgetting all the movie games on the ps2 (looking at you cat woman).

Also, I’m old enough to remember the angry video game nerd reviewing bad NES games, holy shit, you have no idea how bad it can get.

Yeah, this seems like a case of survivorship bias and the fact that there are way more games coming out in the modern age.

There should be a list of actually good movie tie-in games. There's probably like 20 of em and 2 of them are LOTR.

Riddick has a good one, and I remember enjoying Shrek 2 on the 6th gen consoles.

Rockstar made GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas, Bully, Max Payne and Max Payne 2 in the PS2 generation. We are 5 years into this current generation and Rockstar has made 0 total games for PS5.

Yeah there was a lot of shovelware back then. We get barely anything now.

Yeah if you only look at Triple A then it looks barren. But small and indie studios have filled that vacuum.

Movie tin-in games that end up being utter pieces of shit date back to the Atari 2600. The USA videogame crash was caused by ET, of all things.
