You’re spot on. The 360 era Xbox was king of exclusives but that ended in 2013, 9 years ago. Other than a few Forza games I can’t say that any Xbox exclusive was 10/10 material
As a massive racing game fan, I agree with this. There's not much you can really do to innovate within the racing game genre anymore, and you can't tell groundbreaking emotional stories. The genre has basically peaked.
Because people like good stories. It’s kind of a constant in humankind, that we love compelling epic stories. And with video games we are the character. So self insert fantasy here.
Minecraft, Human Fall Flat, FH5, Fortnite... The gameplay is basis. I often skip videos to play the game. The Witcher 3 was exhausting with thousands of cutscenes.
Never heard of those two middle games you mentioned. But one can argue that Minecraft and Fortnite are only popular cuz they’re base games are free. (Not sure about Minecraft anymore but for the longest time it was free).
So games that are free can’t really focus on a story cuz it’s not in the budget. And also they’re based around multiplayer. Don’t really need much of a story if you’re playing with the homies.
I agree. I feel like even though so many of them are of such high quality. It’s just a niche genre. Personally I’m not a fan. I absolutely think many of them are amazing. I’m just personally not a fan (mostly because I’m absolute trash at them lol).
