Hi Tayste

Problem for me with the new games has been the heavy casualization trend that has been going on for quite a long time now. The new fps:es feel like shit after used to perfect fluidlike movement of dmc/qw/cpma, not to talk about weapons which seem to be the generic modern warfare crap in every single game. Tribes ascend was best new fps for a long time in my opinion, but still it didn't hook me as dmc/qw did.

Spent a lot of time trying different MMO:s, some of which were pretty awesome for a while. Best of the lot was EVE-Online (2006-), which i actively small-gang pvp:ed for few years, until it lost the risk/reward feeling for me that kept me hooked. Reward from pvp decreased as nearly everything decreased in value by a huge margin and in-game currency got too easy to get, making so called "hardcore PVP game" diminish in my opinion. Later, I converted most of my assets to a nice sum of IRL money and quit the game, keeping a stockpile of investments hoping that the game will get better someday.

WoW was fun at vanilla times, but I quit due several reasons in early 2006. Tried it again for some months in 2011, didn't like it much.

It seems that time of "oldschool" hardcore FPS:es and MMO:s is over, since they cant just attract enough new players anymore. Most games nowadays seem just to be the general f2p casualized crap that makes millions by selling funny hats or pay-to-win stuff. DayZ gave me some hope by being pretty hardcore game and selling well, while being very unfinished and buggy mod.

All I can say, I miss the old DMC/QW from FPS genre, and old UO/EVE-online style games from the MMO genre.

- Just me swimming in the endless sea of boredom of the new generation of games.
