Newer Does Not Mean Better
Cordova, TN; May 2, in the year of our Lord 2016--Family
Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family
friendly video games is acknowledging a video game truth that
many families already know. What is this video game truth? Newer
does not mean better. In fact numerous Family Friendly Gaming
reviews have pointed out newer video games are including less
characters, less modes, and less fun. It is shocking that the
costs of video games continue to rise, while the content
continues to decrease. At some point something has to break. Too
many video game companies already have a bad image. If they ever
want the hype to be believed again, they need to turn things
around. Will they actually do it though? Or are they so enamored
with the Emperor’s new clothes that they won’t change a blessed
thing?
From Street Fighter V to Star Wars Battlefront a disturbing
trend has been happening in the video game industry. Video games
are coming out in small chunks and being called complete games.
Years of DLC has still not given us a complete version of Killer
Instinct. The company executives and PR mouth pieces brag about
how great these new games are. Gaming media outlets that expose
the lies get black listed by these unethical and immoral company
representatives. Leaving only the gaming sites that will
regurgitate the lies. Those gaming sites lost all credibility
and are routinely called bought off by gamers. The video game
industry is in sad shape right now. Extreme radical and
fanatical liberalism is being shoved down gamers’ throats.
As we have been playing more retro video games here at Family
Friendly Gaming we have noticed all of the different teams,
characters, levels, and other content that is being left out of
newer versions of these games. Don’t get me started on the
shrinking offline game modes either. It is horrible how many
companies expect us to pay them to play the games we already
purchased. No Ubisoft, No EA, No Microsoft, and No Sony; we will
not pay you monthly fees to drain our Internet usage to play
online. We want to play offline. We want all the modes that came
in previous versions of the games. Madden video games used to
have more legacy and legendary teams. Anyone else notice they
are missing in current versions of Madden? Lego Dimensions is
shameful in its measly game play length.
We gamers have lost so much content over the last few years.
Where were the guardians? Where were the consumer rights
advocates? Who is standing up for your rights? Besides Family
Friendly Gaming and Christ Centered Gamer. We can only do so
much. A grass roots gamer campaign is needed to correct this
problem in the industry. For now my best advice is for more
families to play the retro video games. They cost way less money
and you get so much more content. Seems like a no-brainer to me.
What franchises have you seen less content being released in
newer games?
God bless,
