This isn’t some new games are bad and old games are good because I do think we have a lot of great games being made and released right now. I was mainly wondering which is the recent most video game whose gameplay was considered so great and innovate in some form that it has an influence on the entire medium.

Like how Super Mario 64 wrote the book on 3D platforming. Or Resident Evil 4 made over the shoulder camera a must for every 3rd person shooter. Or Gears of War popularized use of covers.

As I get older and for better or worse, I feel a greater connection with the developers of the games I play. Around 15 years ago, I didn’t care about devs, but it might be because there wasn’t any real possibility of interacting with them. I was just playing games, and if I didn’t like the game, I would just move on to the next, simple as that. Nowadays, we have the option to interact via Discord channels or forums with developers and express opinions on the game state, and possibly improve it. Their response to criticism, at least for me, can play a great factor in whether I would play the game or not.

Take for example Blizzard, a legendary company that made some of my favorite games of all time, Diablo, Warcraft, Hearthstone, and WoW. There is not a gamer in the world who hasn’t at played at least some of their recently popular games (not to mention the oldschool ones). But the company has gotten arrogant and greedy over the years. I will never forget the …

Seriously this year is full of Tournament, good for viewers but I can imagine the stress and how exhausted it is to compete at this level and flying over the world.

I don’t think it’s to the detriment to the game by the way. The game is fun despite and because of its difficulty.

But MAN, there is just SO MUCH TO DO. So many things to take into account, almost every single second, right from the start of the hero pick phase, up until the last second of the game. In addition to reflexes and theoretical knowledge, the game also tests your emotional intelligence to keep your team morale high enough to keep on going.

No other game challenges me in such many ways and so thoroughly.

I love Dota.

Edit: maybe “complex” is the word I was going for, sorry
