"Why Gaming Isn't Fun Anymore"

from Gametalk Hosted by Gametalk

Episode 174 "Gaming isn't fun anymore" - this is a phrase uttered frequently by lapsed or more casual gamers. Today, we delve into what this sentiment means and discuss whether or not it rings true. We then plunge into a lengthy, thorough debate about the quality (or lack thereof) of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. As always, we conclude with the games we're playing (Slay The Spire, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom). This episode was recorded in August 2024. Royalty free music from BenSound.
