Don’t buy AAA games at release, and instead try out popular indie titles. They’re usually a quarter of the price and some of them have become my favourite games of all time. Indie games have small teams of passionate devs who have total creative control.
AAA games will typically release a “game of the year” edition a year or so after release with twice the amount of content the original game had for half the price.
Nowadays buying games at release is doing yourself a disservice. You pay way more for way less than someone 6+ months later who gets it on sale with fixes already done
The exception to the Nintendo rule is Scarlet and Violet. That game was extremely buggy and absolutely unpolished when it came out. Yet compared to other triple AAA titles of coming out around the same time, it looked like a game with almost no glitches whatsoever.
There are hundreds of awesome games available. If all you’re doing is buying the few AAA bug ridden and money grabbing games that come out each year you’re doing yourself a huge disservice.

I fucking hate modern gaming

Great! But do they have memes?

This exception to this rule seems to be Nintendo titles but the caveat is that they’re on outdated hardware (and their own thing).

I never seen a problem with Sony games actually.

Nice. I’ve heard good things about that one. I’ll probably pick it up someday.
But yeah. Indie is where it’s at.
Don’t buy at release, be a patient gamer. Comes with benefits too.
Not playing Ubisoft games as a rule helps. Also works with EA, Activision Blizzard, and all mobile games.
havent played a single mobile game since like 2019
