    Greenie The Best and Worst Trends in Gaming

    What it says on the tin. What do you consider to be the best and worst trends in gaming? Too much focus on VR? Loving the explosion of Battle Royale style multiplayer games? What are they? Try to list one you love and one you dislike.

    Worst - DLC that belongs in the original game to make it complete or shoddy overpriced DLC.

    Example - As far as I understand, FFXV is commonly agreed to fall into the incompletw without DLC category.

    Best - Quality DLC for good games that legit doesn't have to be there for the game to be whole and may have been cut or not conceived of in pre-DLC days. Oh wait that's less of a trend and more something that happens occasionally.

    Example: The Frozen Wilds for Horizon Zero Dawn.

    DLC should never be entire playable portions of the game. If there's more of the game to play, release it as an anthology sequel. Unless the DLC is totally free.

    Worst trends, Loot Boxes and other RNG. Best trends, good story-writing and puzzle-crafting. Oh, wait that's not a trend, it should be a staple of the industry.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.
