I watched the series of the early 2000s and 2010s and compared them with the series closer to the 2020s and directly felt the difference, as if the authors really tried something before, I really cried when watching or was happy for the characters. The same with games, I played several games from the 2000s, and one sank into my heart, even after playing it a few years later, its plot still evokes vivid and pleasant memories, which has not yet happened with any game from the 2010s and even more so from the 2020s.
I’m not the only one, am I?
No one is spending any money on making stuff. The local theater has like 12 screens, and half are playing movies like caddy shack. There’s just not the willingness from the studios. They won’t risk losing money, theyll take the small consistent profits of existing ip and minimal production cost.
Indie games are still good. There are some YouTube channels that produce quality exclusive content on other platforms. But for sure the good stuff is harder to find, and there aren’t blockbusters like the 80s and 90s.
But are there B-movies like in the 80s? I remember renting tapes of movies that I would have trouble finding today.
