I've been curious lately if the original Ape Escape is as good as I remember. I heard the sequels weren't as good, but I have fond memories of the first game on PS1.

I prefer the sequels to AE1, with 3 being the best of the bunch (no pun intended).

Golden age of gaming is now, though. We get so many bangers basically for free it's insane

Millennials killed gaming. And coffee. And avocado toast.

Games are amazing right now, what is this talking about? EA/WB/Ubisoft dreck?

Yeah, oh no a bunch of people got into an industry that they loved so much they got underpaid and lowered the value of their labour to be treated worse.
But then a bunch of them realized they could just use their passion to make something themself and get paid for it and now we are having a hard time justifying why the big industry's "shovels" are special.

It is a shame this happening to lots of industries right now for lots of other reasons too. With the big industry now trying to justify it as being cheaper to make because they automated all the people that make the product especially better.

I get the joke but I never understood the idea that gaming nowadays is “bad”. Just as there are many games that have shitty practices or are just bad, there are just as many that are good. Indie gaming is booming for a reason.

Sometimes I wonder that if the people that keep parroting this idea are just… Getting old? Getting fed up with gaming? Or maybe it’s just a nostalgia thing? All of these combined?

Anyway, Clair Obscure just came out and it’s a great JRPG, highly recommend it
