Survival horror is not a real genre. Horror is just a theme, not a genre of video game. Most games people label 'survival horror' are usually just adventure games or shooters.

Similarly, RPG was once a real genre, but isn't anymore. RPG mechanics have been cannibalized so thoroughly, that any game claiming to be an RPG now is pretty far removed from just that. Most RPGs are simply action or strategy games with some RPG mechanics.

Saying that games are bad because the fans dont talk about the gameplay is a dumb trope because gameplay isnt interesting to discuss, but rather its an authentic experience. At some point you just get down to grainy mechanics and miss the whole and authentic experience which is why they end in frustration, boredom, or just get avoided entirely (gameplay discussions). I saw this with bg3 and e33. Games that have stories characters writing aesthetics etc worth talking about always get the same accusation thrown at them that no one that likes it likes it for the gameplay.

Wolfenstein is the best FPS franchise with the most consistent output of quality since its inception to current day

NuBlivion is perfectly fine

Crowbcat is a contrarian that uses logical fallacies and strawmen to push his points and his opinions should not be treated as gospel

FFXIII Trilogy is fun, with memorable characters and nice visuals

Dark Souls 2 is the best one

Dragons Dogma 2 is just as good as the first game and in places overtakes it

Abatap: Frontiers of Pandora is good. You just have Ubisoft formula burnout.

Nobody can show me a single modern videogame that looks any better than what was released between 2014-2016

Bioshock Infinite is a great game, on par with the first one. People who didn’t like the scenery change have no sense of wonder.

The reaction to the ending of Mass Effect 3 was a massive overreaction. All choices have their merits and people only cried about it because they were told to or didn’t get their headcanon ending.

FromSlop has ruined the game industry.

Should have added that it’s the best one and still not particularly good. But is by far the most intredasting, in both visual and lore design - especially now Bloodborne discussion is a troon infested hellhole.

Probably unfair to blame FromSlop entirely but they are at least partly responsible alongside Reddit gitguds and YouTube essayists, which in turn caused every studio to think every game needs to be rollsloppa stamina management simulators with muh dark fantasy

Castlevania 1 was a borderline perfect game. The only legitimate complaint is how the holy water can break the game at times, but that's it. Any other complaint like "clunky controls" or "fixed jumps" either come from not understanding the words they are using or not understanding game design.

Turn-based RPGs need to stop having difficulty sliders if you don't get any additional rewards on higher difficulties.

Gaming has been in a dark age since 2018. That doesnt mean no good games have been made or no new IPs have spawned. Sakuna for example was an original and good game. Even dark eras have some triumphs.
The point is we are lucky enough that games are a medium we can retreat to the past in. We still have the ability to go back to the golden age of games and enjoy them. Thats why we need to stop being so angsty about the current state of vidya, we have a wide ocean of golden currents to get swept up in

Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 is not a JRPG. (It also looks like shit but, I will never play it)
Western developed games like Chained Echoes and Sea of Stars are not JRPGs.
Rune Factory 3 is the greatest farming game ever made and every Stardew Valley player is a nigger or a woman.
Kingdom Hearts 3 was a terrible video game and everyone who enjoys it has terrible taste.
Final Fantast XII The Zodiac Age is the best Final Fantasy game that isn't 6 or 9 (both of which are tied for first place).
Dark Souls 2 Scholar of the First Sin is so much worse than normal DS2.
Bloons TD6 has been ruined by microtransactions and the fact that Ninja Kiwi has no plans on ever making another Bloons numbered title after this, GaaS is evil.
Monster Hunter Rise is the only new MonHun worth playing. Playing the series post MHGU was a mistake.
NEO:TWEWY would be the best action game ever made if it had slightly more enemy types and maps.
Half-Life 2 has better guns than Half Life 1 but Half Life 1 is the better game. Neither game is that good though.
Bad Rats could easily be turned into a good game by adding an invisible barrier that stops shit from flying off the screen.
Return to Monkey Island is visually terrible but it's actually an okay version of Monkey Island.
Ghost Trick is better now that it isn't a DS game.
Phoenix Wright isn't as good as Danganronpa.
DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS: The Dark Prince is a better game than any mainline Dragon Quest game.

Persona 3 is better than 4.
Persona 5 is better than 4.
Persona 2IS is better than 4.
Persona 2EP is better than 4.

Strange Journey is the best Shoji Meguro soundtrack.

VIDYA TRUKE but this will apply to most media.
In ~1 generation, the proto-zoomies will not care if AI usage is used to create a game, or if the whole game was AI generated. They will have been born and raised in a world where AI exists, and talked to AI all their life.
They will be beyond fed up of anti-AI outrage, the same way people got fed up of anti-woke outrage (despite being legitimate).
And they will simply not care the same way zoomies now dont care about privacy concerns with social media / smartphones / etc. mining and selling their data.

AI outrage will be seen as a boomer thing, they will simply want to play good games and dont care if the whole game is generated.

Don't circle jerk writing while making your first asset flip, of the two best known to his name, for the majority of your development cycle.

A linear game can be good, but there is such a thing as too linear. There's a difference between having a right path forward with optional paths to choose or environmental problems to solve, and literally being railroaded down a path so aggressively that your time is literally better spent watching a movie. They are not intrinsically the same thing.

Dark Souls (And demon souls) were never hard, it just came out at a time where general audiences expected games to be piss easy and hold your hand, any RPG fag with half a brain would play around with stats and gear and figure out how to beat it pretty easily in a few minutes.

BOTW sucked and TOTK was somehow even more watered down BOTW, TOTK had better music though.

Blizzard entertainment ruins every genre of game they touch by creating an unobtainable level of polish in their presentation, but at the same time watering the games down for mass appeal, this is especially true with WOW and Overwatch. No studio will ever match Blizzard in their prime when they had the Sons of the Storm working for them, but they also will always copy-paste blizzard's dogshit gameplay and never iterate or refine it

All gacha games are dogshit and you're retarded if you play them, no exceptions, go watch the porn on r34 like an intelligent adult instead of wasting your life and money grinding for a gif of low effort puppet animations and AI slop

Unreal 5 and Unity aren't the cause of dogshit slop games, but are the telltale signs of a game made by a studio who doesn't know how to program their own engine in the first place, thus are full of ideas guys with BAs in game design, and not actual game developers, which is why we always see a massive trend of games made almost exactly the same way with the same design elements, because they're all using the same shit they learned in college, which from my experience is just a lazy professor copying a youtube tutorial and calling it a semester

I think a big part of authenticity in video games is the ability to miss things and thus being forced to search for bits and pieces of developer intention by just spending time and being immersed in the world until you find the secrets. For a brief moment, you and the developers share a mind space that this particular path/object/whatever that was placed in the game must be peculiar, you are trying to search for their soul and thoughts in the game rather than have it told to you. Its almost unthinkable that games would intentionally hide things from you or bar content now these days so games feel less authentic than they did when you were a child.
Yellow paint isnt a sin because its bad game design to direct you, that is a misconception. Its bad game design because its clear the developers just wanted to move you forward, they didnt put care into the set and they dont really expect you to care about it either since all that matters is that you dont get lost.
I don't know how to describe it, but there is this sort of celebration of easter eggs that really defeat the purpose of finding them in the first place. Youtube videos that show you exactly how to do it, or secrets with such powerful rewards that they become common knowledge surrounding the game. The purpose of these secrets and such should be the reward of resonating with the creator.
On the other hand, I played a game called Tunic recently and a large mechanic of that game, in fact i think its actually essential, is that you can move behind objects and geometry in the world since its isometric. I felt a bit of irritation instead of excitement whenever I discovered one of these sections of the map where you can move behind foreground objects because it was so ubiquitous in the game. It felt like I was completing a chore by checking all these paths instead of a cheeky treat. It became a less authentic experience every time I saw a hidden path.

Game scores aren't school scores and never should've been treated as such not every game needs to pass. It should also be noted 10/10 games aren't perfect, but instead excel in every aspect of a game and generally have a large amount of mass appeal because of it. As you go down the scores, you might have some aspects of a game that are just alright that bring the overall score down, up until 5 where everything is just average and perfectly playable. Most notable, scores of 6 can still be great games for specific people who choose to engage with them, but are a harder sell for most other gamers.

4 and below all the truly bad games, with different aspects being lackluster. 1 is the most extreme, as it basically signals the game is lackluster, buggy, and/or unplayable. 2 are bad games and notably is a good spot for the "so bad it's good" games. It's a good way to show you can still like something that's truly awful, but you can also acknowledge it's bad.

There’s a lot of Stockholm syndrome with older games, especially games like Morrowind, Skyrim, and Fallout. People played them so much that they start to love every aspect they can, while laughing off the flaws “yeah, that’s bad, but whatever” and even justifying aspects that are obviously bad.

Another example is myself
I’ve played through Hotline Miami 2 over 100 times, so I don’t really see the flaws anymore because my brain just ignores them entirely.
>>
>>728611832
acquired taste. it takes time to see the good in it despite the bad, and then you realize your intuition of bad was wrong and the bad isn't bad, its different and unique.

let me guess, youd like to make zoomerslop wit thr same third person action gameplay ain every single game

There is objectively nothing wrong with morrowind combat and just slashing repeatedly with one single attack. Oblivion combat system by example is fucking kino, you play as some kind of toerador/the flash and space without inertia to dodge hit and touch people with your melee magic spell, its basically melee range, while dodging projectiles etc. You could never have that with your generic vision

Nope, I don’t even mind shitty combat or odd mechanics in games
But in the games I mentioned, there’s definitely a big problem with inconsistent quality. That exists in every game ever, but with those titles especially, it feels like certain parts were made by incredible artists while the rest was sent to the desk of some minimum-wage worker with zero quality control.
And the problem became a lot more apparent and clear in their last three games. I’m not saying it should’ve been a static action RPG, but a lot more could’ve been done with the resources they had.

i imagine some things may be better and some worse, its the disappointment of loss, when u get progress on one side and regress on the other (like game graphics many things in society etc); Because say we progress but its not true, we trade off. True progress keeps the good and adds more good, not heavy tradeoffs that are basically 1:1

Games like Max panye 2, KCD2 and Dishonored 2 are examples of trade offs

later Bethesda games are straight up badly made and only sold because of the name and engine
for example it's fine you can't land in real time im starfield they could've made bunch of animations of you going through atmosphere or something instead of a lazy black screen

video games have definitively become 'buy & try,' disposable, playable once for the experience and then never touched again, rotting away for the rest of time.
we need to return to when we had 3 games on our machines and played our favorite game over & over, memorizing the levels, and being capable of having a good time regardless because the games were fun at their core, everlasting.
if not that, then at least gamers need to identify singleplayer games that they love enough to be able to play over & over without getting bored, so that they can always return to something that does not require other players to be online to have fun.

i agree with this but also want to add that a big part of why games are so dull compared to the childhood days is because we know how games function on a computational level, i.e. coding, bugs, graphics, assets ect.
games were a lot more magical in childhood BECAUSE we didnt know how they worked in the slightest, they were just portals to another world and that was it.

That’s already happening, and nobody’s ready for it. You look at Ubisoft and EA pumping out the same recycled slop with DEI flavoring and Hollywood writing, meanwhile China is brute-forcing their game dev scene with sheer manpower and datamining excellence. They don’t even need to innovate-they’ll just watch what works, rub off the serial number, and mass-produce it with prettier animations and gachapon hooks. Japan will always have soul, but they’re stuck in niche appeal and conservative design. The west lost the plot, and China doesn’t care about the plot-they just want control of the chessboard.

Making a "difficult" game with cheap tricks is bad design.
It's easy because it takes no time
>Shit camera makes the game difficult because you can't see what is happening on screen
>Making a good camera requires time and knowing how to program
>Pumping the healthbars and making enemies oneshot is easy
>Making fair but challenging enemy attacks and pacing is hard and requires knowing game design
And so and so.

This artificial difficulty is easier for companies because is slop, and /v/ eats it all up because they are retarded, have no aspirations and try to fill the void by making a closed circle jerk.

If you think that a game is better only for the difficulty meme, you are mentally retarded.

1) WoW has been an artifically propped up testlab and propaganda outlet, used to proliferate and nornalize predatory proto-mobile buisness practices across the genre and eventually the rest of the industry.

2) The vast majority of "people" champion whateveve is popular -- 8/10 of posters ITT would gorge themselves on literal dogshit reeking of death, if you hired an indian shillfarm to conjure up a "majority" on the various parasocial botfarms (e.g.: twitter, reddit, youtube).

3) Almost all e-grifting parasocialites are contractors of a handful of (((talent agencies))) and anyone who tries to exit the industry has to forfeit his channel so that it may be maintained with greenscreened deepfake and AI synthesis of all the surrendered audio-visual data.

4) Actual gamers, whose hobby is gaming, are woefully outnumbered b, gaymers, whose hobby is consumption.

5) Marketing doesn't try to sell you bad products, bad products sell you marketing. You are being funneled from one engagement mill to another.
