Loosing hope in games....;(

CTR? crash team racing? man i miss that game.... flies away

Do you have life outside the games?

TL;DR line breaks are too mainstream.

the word is spelled "losing", single o - youR welcome.

AC 3 disappointed me and Bioshock Infinite is amazing...

I don't understand your point. You say you would recommend all of them, but say you are losing hope.

I think he means that games these days are alright but don't have the same charm and fun gameplay as older games made.
I'll agree that the story for Bioshock infinite was amazing entertaining and good, but the gameplay itself was a bit lackluster.
(I would have had a satisfied experience if I watched a movie with the Bioshock infinite storyline)

You are saying Assassin's Creed III wasn't bad ? I personally hated it, a very disappointing part of the series.

Mass Effect 3 isn't even a RPG like the first two...just sayin'

Disregard AAA titles, start playing indie games.

You wont say it so I will, AC 3 was bad. If it were anything other than assassins creed the average review would be around 50 if not less. Game breaking bugs, visual bugs, poorly written story and characters (hey, I know I trained my entire life to kill you, but why dont I follow your orders for awhile instead?). None of the side stuff mattered save to get money, which was worthless as even on starting gear nothing at any point in the game posed a threat and collecting things was pointless. Endless mechanics were introduced and then became entirely pointless.

The only reason it got any praise at all is the franchise that was behind it, standing on its own it was a pretty bad game.

Last year seemed to be the year for crap games (and disappointing overhyped games), but this year seems to be faring better.

Also I haven't finished Infinite yet, but so far I am loving it. They story has really only confused me once so far (I'm not sure if they forgot to elaborate on something, or if it's on purpose), but I love it. I really hope the ending is good! I hate it when a good game has a crap ending.

There are still enjoyable games, of course you're not playing them like Rayman Origins.
You're playing "MATURE GAMES FOR MATURE PEOPLE" games, and in no way do they have the same feeling of games that can be enjoyed at all ages like the Rachet and Clank series.

They're trying too hard to make them seem like movies, and forget to include fun.

Mass Effect was ruined by (spoilers) Godkid

Infinite was 3deep5me

I've heard terrible thing about AC3, so I won't even bother with it.

You want awesome games that aren't shooters/thrillers/actiony?
FTL(A bit of action but not status quo)
Fez
Thomas Was Alone

Same. Im 21 yo now. And I kinda have the feeling that Ive seen them all.....Nothing thats really able to surprise me or keeps me playing for a long time....

Even Infinite bored me after 5 hours. I will never understand why ppl hype BS : Infinite, srsly. Bioshock in rapture was SO MUCH BETTER.

Probably my time has come to quit gaming. 21 yo is the pension age for a gamer anyway I guess.

Well, personally I haven't played Assassin's Creed 3 or Mass Effect 3 to truly know the horrors of their endings, but I have done my spoilerific research into them(before playing them, lol). BioShock: Infinite... well, I can sort of see your point even though I didn't look at it that way.
My advise would be try fun games that have no story whatsoever to lighten up. With other words indie games... with other words what everyone else suggested and you already said you'd consider.
To make this post less pointless try these two. Short(at least in case of the second one) but fun fun fun. And no... predictable story(or any story). ;)

It's not so much that games suck now, it's more that AAA games seem to forget what made gamers love games in the first place. Really, I think a big part is graphical advances. Graphics advanced a lot and that's a big part of development costs, so the AAA devs spend a large majority of their budget on pretty graphics and then don't have anything left for good gameplay and story.

Best thing you can do is to really consider looking at other sorts of games. There are definitely plenty of fun games out there, they just aren't necessarily the popular AAA games. Look at indie games and also games from smaller developers. The big thing is to not make pretty graphics and hype be the main reason why you buy a game. You'll have a lot more fun that way.

I can't even remember the last time I haven't properly played a AAA title in years =/

i played all mass effect games in three weeks recently.. and i didnt understand your point mate.. are you disappointed by the end? because mass effect had the best story EVER.. if you argue about the end i would agree probably..

I have absolutely no idea what this thread is supposed to be about.

Games are not as good as they were back then. Because game developers only care about the latest graphics. Give me story and gameplay over graphics any day.

The problem is that they are trying to make games more like interactive movies than challenges . . . . except that the developers seem to be oblivious to the fact that they usually create the most cliché-filled plots conceived since B-movies.
