Video game industry is crashing in real time.https://www.ign.com/articles/video-game-physical-software-and-hardware-sales-just-had-the-worst-november-in-the-us-since-1995
>>524516654gamers rise up
>>524516654Playing through pic related just now was more fun than any game I've played since 2015, so maybe it deserves to fucking burn.
>>524516654playing picrel right now, who needs more when you have 3 decades of great video games at your disposal?
>>524516654>Video game industry is crashing in real time.BASED!
>>524516932>>524516825I was just playing 1080 snowboarding from N64, still one of best racing games ever made
>>524516932And many more are being made for free, just go to Newgrounds and discover them. I don't get why people waste money on some wokewashed bullshit when there is so much quality in the archives and with real independent developers.
>>524516654>why aren’t people buying remakes and sequels to actual good games from 20 years ago
>>524516654Remember when video games were actually good and the developers poored their heart and soul into it.
>>524516654>physical software
>>524516932my dad used to love this shit
>>524517282>dodged
>>524517537It's an amazing puzzle game, still to this day.
>>524517282what's this game called?
>>524516654>physical softwareis that a thing still?They mean the download codes they put inside of plastic boxes that used to hold physical games?I'm currently replaying Golden Sun on an emulator. I haven't bought a video game since 2013.
>>524516932kino.
>>524516654>games are just either shit or propaganda>they also started raising the pricesI can easily put another 500 hours into Factorio or Dyson Sphere Project and sit it out till the retarded vidya companies have gone bankrupt.
When GTA 6 flops it will take the entire AAA Market down with it. GTA 6 will be this generation's ET Screencap this
>>524516654Well yeah it’s all garbage. People tend not to buy smelly garbage
>>524517771A man can only hope
>>524516654Most people nowadays only play mobile slop games. No surprise game industry is going to shit.
you mean putting niggers and rainbow coloured fat cows in charge of games was a bad idea? I'm shocked, shocked I say.
I can't even name 3 games that came out this year
>>524517828Either GTA 6 or ES6, whichever releases first
>>524517771This generation’s duke nukem forever*
New games are souless shit, they require $2000 desktops with GPU and RAM prices just rising all the time from gay AI bubble scam.I'd rather play Diablo 2 Ressurrected and Heroes 3 than play as as gay black japanese ninja in some 3rd person cashgrab.
>>524516654the videogame industry is normalizing to our new K-shaped economy. if you're too poor to buy videogames now then you're probably some lazy gamer sitting in your mom's basement waiting for more trumpbuck handouts instead of working on yourself and getting a good paying job
>>524516932nooooo, you need 140fps, 2 million colours and 1900x1100 pixs to have fun.
>>524516654>physical softwareNice bait, you fucking nigger
>physical softwarebecause you can just download everything>physical hardwarebecause ram is 1000 a stickcunt nigger bitch faggot fuck kys shit thread
>>524516760When they say "variations" of the N-word do they mean like nigga? Or like sandnigger and snownigger?
>>524516654Correction : The Triple AAA video game industry is crashing. Go Woke go BrokeHardware sales are slumping due to a price-spike that will stabilise in due time.
>>524517444Yes, Journalists are usually brown or Jewish nepo-baby females these days, so you have to really work with them to figure out what they mean.
>>524516654>when gaming peaked
>>524517771GTA 6 will not flop but it will be the series finale of gaming. No other game will generate that hype not even GTA 7
>>524516654You think November was bad - this doesn't improve for years...maybe forever and it becomes a rich man's hobby.
>>524517444>>524518071actual retards
Star Citizen just had it's biggest sales year ever.
>>524516654Nobody has any fucking money.A lot of great games and hardware came out this year, too.I honestly wonder how much GTA6 is getting pirated, next year...
>>524519110I think more likely you will see retarded shit like bigger companies going all in with AI and failing there. Every single corporation in the west is run by retards who just assume people will accept and consume whatever slop they make
>>524516654Extortionate hardware prices, woke developers, in game purchases
>>524517873Clair Obscur, The Dispatch, Doom The Dark Ages.Without even thinking about it.
>>524516654>Software prices go up to $80 for the basic edition of the game, which is basically just a demo without the Day one DLC for an extra $40>Hardware more than doubles in price thanks to Slopfarms or are at best sidegrades compared to older generations, see Intel CPUs.Give people good games and good hardware for fair prices again and they will buy. But greed ate the minds of the industry. Many such cases. There are enough older games we can play while they can seethe atop their mounds of unsold, overpriced merchandise.
>>524516654Gee I wonder what happened????It sure is a mystery. GamerGate started it, wokeness just sent the final death blows.
What's the fucking point? I can literally emulate everything up to the PS3 era. There's zero reason to buy $80 games at this point.
>>524516654stop making games with niggers and ugly women I guess?
>>524519617For lurkers, hard to read but worth your time as well.
>>524519801whoa whoa lets not get crazy here, besides how else will they brainwash the youth?
>>524517282
>>524519809god damn it, wrong one lol
>>524519836Every time I watch the video game awards or any show like it its insane how at least 50% of the games shown are indie - AAA hero shooter like games with a diverse (non white) cast and the main character is a nigger woman with an afro and they ALL bomb
>>524519939Meanwhile games like picrel get no attention.
>>524516654I’ll let you in on something Comic books Trading cards Video gamesMoviesTv showsMagazinesAll had their time to shine. But it’s over. The new generations are going to be into leeks life experiences. If you were smart you’d invest in new theme parks and concert halls. Stages arenas. This is where the money will go. It is the next old new trend.You are hearing it here first. Silver and coliseums are the new old thing. People are over covid lifestyles and gay shit everywhere. They want to be a part of an experience. Tickets are selling out for the shittiest live action plays and bands. No one cares about the contest. They just want to spend money on doing something outside their home and travel is too expensive. We will see a theme park boom soon.
>>524519939video game developers are great golems for globohomo Jews, it's not hard to see why they have access to unlimited funding
>>524516654Get ready for EMP attacks forcing you to buy new electronic jack-off toys.
>>524516654lol they mean big companies are crashing. Others are doing fine.
>>524516654It specififes physical. I doubt it covers the used collecting market and as most stuff in the last 10 years is no longer sold physically, it's hardly suprising that new sales would show zero physical sales, being the stagnat swap that it is.On the other hand retro physical game and hardware collecting is massive and probably absorbed more cash on gaming than anything else in 2025.
>>524517055Seriously. I got a Switch 2 for Christmas and I’ve just been playing Tonic Trouble on it.
>>524516654Oy vey
New video games suck. They should just reprint the classics till talented people/artists inherent the industry again
>>524520313>Tonic TroubleI tried that, the N64 selection with Switch 2 is really good. Try out Winback if you never played it, it is underrated
>>524520479I bought myself MGS Delta as a self Christmas present and it was painful how good the game was compared to modern slop
>>524518347It's based on machine learning so even when you use slightly more esoteric terms like "moon cricket" or "jigaboo" the system eventually learns the context and starts censoring it alsoWhat a fascinating and modern age we live in
Too many untalented faggots got into the medium. Less labors of love and more for-profit political motivated slop fests from losers who have no business being in their positions. We need a hard crash and let it stay burning for as long as it takes. Support Indie devs. BallxPit is fun.
>>524520313Tonic Trouble has a pedo symbol on the box art.
>>524520545It was better on PlayStation 2
>>524516654Who buys physical games anymore?
>>524516654Demand destruction from too high of pricing.
>>524520587the bosses are fucking gay
>>524520681The fact that Expedition 33 exists means there is hope
>>524520861By gay you mean they want to have sex with you or are too hard or what? They are usually the best parts of the game and IMO most are too easy.
>>524520681Telling people to support indie devs is retarded. The entire point it’s good is cause they don’t have support. Support is what made games gay in the first place. If you find something good just enjoy it alone. If you make it big it sells out or gets the wrong attention
Its not a crash. Its just that everyone who wants a game console already has one. Games are another thing entirely with digital taking over and Freemium games like Fortnite taking up a lot of the marketshare.
>>524520693It was made by the French so that doesn’t shock me.
>>524520778Typically humans with souls and self-respect, but games in general are no longer worth buying.
>>524517771Not really. It will give other companies the courage to start pricing games at $100.
>>524518347You gotta create language creoles.
>>524516654big gaming companies have been filled with MBA retards that make all the money, provide no value, hire mediocre writers, and outsource work to 3rd world countries. These companies aren't just a bunch of nerds anymore.
>>524516654wow, just in time for the next war! how convenient
>>524519801Thats antio septico
>>524520545Will do. Tonic Trouble was a childhood favorite of mine. It’s essentially a lesser Rayman 2. The problem is that it requires the N64 memory card and they didn’t account for that in the NSO port. Have to save with restore points.
>>524521119No one in the west is willing to die for their country anymore no matter how many breads and circuses they take away. Can you imagine a draft in our current political climate? How the news and politicians would demand woman and minorities be exempt from a draft? How much hatred that will cultivate
>>524516654This means we're in a golden (pyrite) economic age.
>>524516654If you're anything like me, you've had it with modern titles, so you go back into the library for some classics you loved and are now playing those a lot. And it requires nothing more from your system. Hell, I've even broken out DosBox and started playing some of the really old favorites. Especially ones with level editors.
>>524521157>Have to save with restore points.That is the optimal way to save anyway, you can skip the intros like dev studio branding and logo's, once you turn the game on you can instantly go to where you last stopped. If you have the Pro controller it is nice how easy it is to change the controls, for some games like Turok 1&2 you want to switch up the controls, Turok 1 default controls were designed by somebody who never played a game in their life before
>>524516654>hardwareit's because hardware is expensive as fuck
>>524517771Isn't GTA 6 going to be like 800gb?
>>524521559Nearly 700GB on Xbox.
>>524521062The fuck?Who gave you this list, you lil MIGA shit?
>>524521625A New Age Black. You may have heard of him.
The last time I bought a new video game at launch was Red dead redemption 2 PS4 pro bundle and I didn't even enjoy it as much as RDR1. The multiplayer was dead to me from the start since it had microtransactions and no trains and banks for me and my friends to rob. I am almost 30 now and maybe it is age too but video games just don't really interest me at all like they used to. Playing retro stuff like N64 is just depressing to me now especially when I used to have family and friends to play it when I was a kid. Honestly the last time I felt pure joy around video games is when I walked in to a Freeplay bar arcade and it genuinely made me feel like a kid again seeing the hundreds of 80s/90s games with working CRTs and hearing all the beeps and boops just put the biggest smile on my face.
>>524521670Figures it would be that eternal spring of butthurt and failure.
>>524521812Dale is a lolcow in denial.
ALL RISE FOR OUR PS2 NATIONAL ANTHEM.https://youtu.be/dp9ch-dAKk0
>Be Nintendo>Design a new Switch>Install always on DRM that bricks the console if it detects any modifications>Stop producing physical games, instead sell keys that allow customers a license to access that specific game on Nintendo's cloud servers>Wonder why no one is buying video games
>>524516654>physical softwareThe kikes are taking away our physical media so they can edit in more propaganda. You will own NOTHING and you will be happy.
Clearly the answer is to keep outsourcing to India and keep letting China make wuxiaslop and gacha.
>>524522003Game Keycards are coming to an end as surveys showed that everyone hates them. Only got 1 because it was $10 and you know that I'm a Tetris mark.
>>524520678the trick to defeating ML is rhyming
>>524522229and look what that led to. This was just leaked today
>>524516654That's because nobody ever actually enjoyed playing videogames. They're all pretending
>>524522451and? number go up anyways lol
>>524516654Buy the DDR5 ram fucking goy.While we raise prices for your youtube premium, your prime, your netflix, your spotify, your game pass, your internet, your heating, electric and trash bill by $20 each.You will live pay up. Or die in Ukraine.
>>524522522This could implode the company. Ubisoft is already on the edge
>>524516825What’s this called? I used to play this on miniclip as a kid
>>524522587G2A has reasonably priced gamepass anyways. $100 per year? My in-laws justified such purchase.
>>524522628Want to know what they won't tell you?A chinese shell company probably sent those bribes to the CS agents.If Ubisoft crashes, Tencent will buy the remainder for pennies, and the executives penning the deal who already got rich from them will get even richer.The guilty always win in these scenarios.
>>524522717Need for Madness. You can still download both games.http://www.needformadness.com/
>>524516654Well, what can I say. There are a select few good games made by good studios. The hardware to run cutting edge stuff is hard to get your hands on. Some of the best games you can get are either legacy titles or made by indie developers and those don't require great specs. The e-sports titles are optimized well and can be run decently even on 5 year old gaming computers. Microsoft fucked everyone with the Windows 11 launch, most people are moving to Windows 7 or Linux when it comes to gamers who got pushed out during the switch because of some arbitrary CPU or TPM chip bullshit for the sake of AI and data harvesting. PC building was starting to get super popular again due to the accessibility of affordable parts that could still run good stuff at 1080p. That all crashed with the proliferation of AI data centers eating up the supply chain for those exact parts... even now the belief is still that PC building is un affordable. This is good neither for the people who actually do the research and build on their own nor is it good for the prebuilt companies. Consoles are fucked because the only affordable market for them is in resale. Their prices cannot keep up with PC prices and all of this hardware shortage shit is hitting them too, which they are just gonna pass on to the customer. The big 3 console companies keep fucking people anyways, raising prices, removing shit, and following anti consumer practices over and over again. Well well well, what did we expect to happen? People are just going to keep their old console or their old PC and keep playing on that. This has been shifting this way for awhile. That's why backwards compatibility has become such a big demand. That's why so many people are getting into retro and vintage gaming instead of modern day bullshit. As they should. The future of gaming is to play old games on old hardware and only buy resold hardware so the market is in the hands of the players.
>>524522229Where the Winds Meet is pretty good.
>>524516654I'd care if the new releases weren't garbage.>>524520042>We will see a theme park boom soon.I can't wait for unbearably long lines to ride a megacoaster once TikTok mindrapes millions of normies into being coaster junkies.
>>524516654yeah because they lost any and all talent and replaced it with this bullshit politically correct narrative that doesn't contribute even .00001% to the entertainment value of a game.If I wanted to be indoctrinated, I'd go take out a school loan and be indebted the rest of my life with the other morons. I want to sit down and forget about my problems, not be reminded of them every time a dialogue screen appears.
>>524522950What university are you spying on, Chang?
>>524520042>If you were smart you’d invest in new theme parks and concert halls.You really think we're gonna see a return to the days of William Castle-esqe funhouses at the cinema?
the amount of remakes and remasters coming out in recent years just shows that we have reached gaming peak long time ago and whole industry in recession, thats why gta 6 is in development for so many years and still keeps being delayed. gaming industry as a huge fianncial sector now holds up on gigacompanies like rockstar games and whatnot (who own super popular franchise titles). >gayming industry in recession>even zoomers and alpha genners are buying/playing on old systems>increasingle more people play old, established titles, even going back to retro>old games are not demanding, meaning computer components are on downfall>DDR4 and DDR5 RAMs skyrocket in price>Nvidia questionable future with GPUs, especially last gens werent really belovedyour computer will solely act like an archive - SSDs still cheap. CPUs are so advanced you dont even need anything powerful. RAMs overpriced? welp, no more 100 Chrome tabs for you.
>>524519939
>>524517771>When GTA 6 flops it will take the entire AAA Market down with it.They make shit only to appeal and socially signal to women and influencers who don't actually fucking play videogames.Faggots praise it on social media and stick it to the chuds but don't actually buy this shit. The few autistic trannies that both praise it and actually play videogames aren't enough to carry this industry and realistically even they silently go back and play old shit instead because they realize subconsciously that "fat negress critical race simulator" isn't actually fun. Between GTA and AI trivializing the time and ability to produce recycled generic garbage I think it will be the game studio shoah.
>>524523136You dont gotta be a chang to appreciate such things. I even made Trump in the game.>>524519939TGA is too violent for me. Dont need intense gore and such.
>>524522923>There are a select few good games made by good studioscorrect, now we will solely rely on those corporations + indie devs, who can still have a spark with imagination. even strong title like call of duty is literally going extint as we speak. counter-strike will last forever, but even then most of people jack off to cosmetics rather than play. mario kart and similar trash is the same game from 50 years ago but priced like a groundbreaking idea.>PC building was starting to get super popular again due to the accessibility of affordable parts that could still run good stuff at 1080p.yes, not anymore as of now. i suspect consoles may experience a rise in populairty. PCs are fuckhuge expensive and major megapopular titles have their 1st launches to consoles anyway. take a look at GTA, everyone knows about it and the delay between console and PC port is few years. the burst of ppl who will run to buy console with GTA6 launch title will be MASSIVE.> even now the belief is still that PC building is un affordableyup, but i have a suspicion consoles will retain the same price more or less. also gamepass and other subscription based shit is actually HIGHLY popular with consoles, huge surge of money flow will be seen>The big 3 console companies keep fucking people anyways, raising prices, normies will still buy, they dont get too deep into "price raising". if you increase price bit by bit no one will bat an eye. subscriptions are what drives todays economy, people love it.

The next PlayStation era is loading…#PS6 #PlayStation #NextGenGaming #GamingNews #fblifestyle
I'm pwning pcfags with my xbox rn in BF6Auto aim off
>>524523978Mgs2 was peak, it was also when kojima was unofficially done with the franchise
>>524516654Oh no, now they will have to start optimizing games again, what a disaster.
>>524523978In some respects. It didn't have brown and bloom like in 3, as well as having fun fucking around with the TECHNOLOGY in 2.
>>524522522LOL no dude. I'm a financial analyst. Ubisoft has been a fucking disaster of an investment over the last few years. Since it's post-COVID peak, share prices are down 93%. It's constantly rumored to be in the process of going private (by the Guillemot family) or to be being purchased by Tencent. The company couldn't make a Star Wars game that people wanted. Ass Creed Nigger Samurai was a disaster. People are furious about The Crew, And as a result the company has spent the better part of the last few years turning in unprofitable quarter after unprofitable quarter. I don't think the company has any good will left among gamers, either. This company is fucking cooked and there's no real saving it. Not only has the number not gone up, the recent Tencent deal is likely a precursor to a full-blown sale once the kikes siphon off any cash they can and take the share price to a quick, cheap sale to the Chinese, who are looking to purchase a gaming studio to compete with the Saudi sovereign investment fund (just bought EA). I think these big studios are in serious trouble. Their budgets on AAA games is out of control and there are too many quality games made by people who actually like their customers to choose from for them to corner the market. Their only hope is that Gaben dies and someone can buy and Judaify Steam and ruin it and gatekeep all the small-time developers to protect market positions.
>>524524028pics or it didnt happen
>>524516654>video game physical By that they mean game consoles and physical console games.Regarding game consoles, why spend money on dedicated hardware, that isn’t even really that good, when a laptop/tablet/smartphone is good enough for most people?Seriously browse /vg/. It’s 70% gatchashit. Most people don’t need consoles.Regarding the drop in physical games, that’s obvious. PC and mobile are 100% digital. It’s really about time that consoles go full digital too.
>>524517771I was never going to play it becuase I never really liked GTA. Running around the map in the gta 3, vice city, and san andres days and using cheatcodes for jetpacks, exploding and flying cars, and super jump and silly stuff like a giant dildo as a weapon was fun enough but it never really appealed to my sensibilities or tastes much and there's lots of open world options more to my liking now. I barely played 4 and never touched 5 at all.
>>524516654Damn, that sucks.Anyway, back to playing OSRS I go!https://youtu.be/QHCg8mHzuz0?si=6HpNKNKMDKzSUZ-h
>>524516654No one has any money. If they'd pay people more, they could buy more. Why is it hard for the kikes to understand?
I play yu-gi-oh duel links
>>524522776I thought Ubisoft already got bought out by the Saudis with EA but I guess not. It looks like Tencent already owns 10% which is only 9% away from being the majority shareholder. I kind of hope it happens. Tencent has better devs right now than any modern western company.
>>524523256>thats why gta 6 is in development for so many years and still keeps being delayed. gaming industry as a huge fianncial sector now holds up on gigacompanies like rockstar games and whatnot (who own super popular franchise titles).Like most things in our declining country they've been resting on the laurels of past successes of better men from decades ago who no longer exist.It's basically impossible for them to make a new IP, they don't even really know how anymore they just follow templates. So they have a limited number of resources they can bomb and trample before it is over and they have gone through most at this point.Between the online MMO shit and Starfield clusterfuck Bethesda basically killed the hype for both Elder Scrolls and Fallout, they're probably terrified to even release ES6 at this point because everyone is just waiting to watch it bomb and shit on it for 2 months like they did with Starfield.Rockstar hasn't released shit in years and the fact GTA is staring a mexican woman basically means they will have to be woke and boring as shit as it is illegal to make fun of brown women in this country. In GTA 5 everything basically hinged on the protags being assholes and most of the game was making fun of them.>your computer will solely act like an archive - SSDs still cheap. CPUs are so advanced you dont even need anything powerful. RAMs overpriced? welp, no more 100 Chrome tabs for you.They'll almost certainly lean in to trying to make PCs just dumb client terminals especially if they have AI in games. You'll just connect to their server in a glorified VNC/RDP session and everything will be run on their side. This would prevent piracy, give them all the power over what you do when and require you to constantly keep paying for games as a service.
>>524516654You guys shouldn’t play video games. They are designed by a team of psychologists to be as addictive as possible and to suck your money
>>524524178>browse /vg/. It’s 70% gatchashitgrim existence for zoom zooms
>>524518805Wat game
>>524519617Gamergate was done by darpa
>>524516825Play Rollerdrome. Or rather pirate it because the devs have separated from it Such a pure fun action game. Like SSX tricky with guns. I cannot believe we don't have more games like this. Hi-fi rush for instance - looks like trash compared to this, probably because it's story focused instead of arcade focused.
>>5245242535 was great, the online was based until modders completely ruined it Thanks to Cockstars complete lack of anti cheat, now you can't even log in to play online without risking your entire PC

i wonder why
>>524523633>normies will still buy, they dont get too deep into "price raising". if you increase price bit by bit no one will bat an eye. subscriptions are what drives todays economy, people love it.Microsoft is already looking to scale back and jump shit seemingly bracing for failure.Sony is trying to pivot around throwing things at the wall with handhelds to copy Nintendo.Nintendo is the only one that seems to actually be in a decent position and making good decisions by effectively ignoring everyone else and doing their own thing. They didn't chase the hardware dragon so aren't nearly as dependent on expensive high end specs, they released their next gen early before the hardware "shortage", they still have exclusives that people actually want, and they generally haven't been bombing and killing their IPs with political faggotry and niggers.
>>524524934
>>524516654woke bullshit doesn't sell.
>>524516654Nobody is going to spend 1000$ on just ram
>>524516654I’m still playing OG Rome Total War from 2004. I’ve yet to find one strategy game from the last 10 years that can match the balance of simplicity, immersion, and replayability that this game has.

>>524516654Uniquely western problem.Japan has multiple studios hiring and having some of their best years.
>>524516654Perhaps more remakes with jews, niggers and trannies will solve the low sales issue.

>>524525325you can only get so much creative and expansive. there are almost no new conceptual video games since decades. all of them are the same copy>pastes with minor changed. thats why RTS/strat/sim games are so financially impractical. you create a base/platform and all the rest can stand the test of time. add modders to that + pirates and your game wont sell shit. pllaying total rome from 04 just shows that this game was fully finished as an idea 20 years ago barely anything can be imrpoved

Also there is a lot of gameplay mechanics from the 90s or in niche games that could be making millions
>>524524831I've zero interest in online play in a game like that. Open worlds games appeal should be the world and setting and the gta setting is just kinda boring plus depending on the how the mechanic is implimented other people can actively break immersion. If i wanted a huge world with other people to fight and explore with I'd play an mmorpg where the gameplay and narrative implementation of multi-player still embodies the character and doesn't separate you from the world. When i want a fun engaging gameplay loop to goof around and share with friends I want a local co-op that's built for it and can do in person becuase it's a social experience.

>>524525734There used to be a power rangers general that was kept alive by 1 schizo retard who tried and failed to gatekeep what could be taught.

>>524516654they try to hard to gate-keep gaming, now gamers totally give up on brand consoles, at most a few nerds are buying pocket not branded or from small brands.and now even the most cattle of console gamers are trying to move to computers, and even funnier is that gamers from pc are migrating to linuxSilicon tits valley literally rope themselves. Maybe it was on purpose? After all, when the economy collapse everyone is hit by it, in fact the bigger you are, the more affected you are, just like a forest tree taller than the rest tanking the winds by itself, similar principle.
>>524526219I think there is a direct corporate aspect to this website that shills things. I first noticed it with Nintendo. At first you could criticize Nintendo things. But as soon as you would go to a thread. It's apologize why don't you buy this. In super Mario Odyssey the game isn't out yet but there is 1000 moons in the game and this is how you get them like shill shit. That's one of the reasons I stopped buying Nintendo shit If the power ranger is something modern I do not trust it. If it's oldschool than I respect it .

>>524526456I don't think it's corporate shills although I do believe they exist. I think this website just attracts a lot of low self esteem people who have unhealthy connections to stupid shit like movies and games. Also modern culture and sites like reddit teach us criticism makes you a bad person so the autist getting mad at you saying Nintendo sucks is just an unhealthy loser who takes video game criticism as a personal attack and I personally think it's getting so bad that these psychopaths would be happy if you died for your opinion. Oh yea and these people are "adults" too not teenagers. I see 40 year old people in /v/ make threads "gloating" about how games they grew up with were better than todays games and getting into viscous fights with zoomers over it and it just begs the question how did this loser fail this badly in life?

I just bought a bunch of games on sale on Steam. Got like 5 AAA games i've never played for about $25. I almost always wait for games until later and get them discounted. With the exception of Elden Ring and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. I still got those on sale too. Right after release.Maybe there are more people being frugal about games to buy. A lot of new games do suck as well.
I'm currently playing Kenshi, Project Zomboid, and Noita. Beats 90% of AAA in the last 10 years.

>>524529677What game is this?
Won't/can't say where I worked but I was an integral part of a vidya project that bombed hard this year.There's no crash, it's all self-inflicted hubris.Our leader had a known substance abuse problem and historically it may have gone back 7 or 8 years if not longer. The staff was basically his friends from 20 years ago with little in the way of vetting who could actually do their jobs. Riding off the coattails of a game from 20 years ago that nobody even remembers anymore. It was constantly referenced in our slide decks as some masterpiece but it really wasn't, it was just a good game in a sea of good games like it.If you do a simple ctrl + f on his personal twitter you can find multiple mentions of "coke" and "powder" around the time we were negotiating the terms for our publishing deal. We didn't do any market research. He wanted to make a very specific game, basically a vanity project for him, and that was it.The tight development schedule was because he was coked out and significantly oversold how fast our team could work to our publisher. We partnered with tech that wasn't appropriate for our game at all, but our leader insisted we made use of it for one specific feature - which came with a bunch of caveats and people hardly used when we launched lol.What should have been a 3 year cycle was condensed to 2, which as you know is not really 2 years but rather 16 months and then you start showing the "completed" game off to the press and at events and stuff.The guy also called me high as shit while I was with my girlfriend at the time, and there are text messages between us where I'm apologizing for how fucked up he is.The game came out and ruined the reputation of basically anyone who had a hand in it.

>>524516654you mean people don't want to spend $800 on a fucking console, only to have to spend another $50 a month to connect it to the internet?

i dont give a fuck about prices because i am an adult and a gaming pc is less than an oil change on my car but everything released in recent years is GARBAGE. Of course zoomers aren't paying €80 for GARBAGE and €3.000 for a system to play GARBAGE.The last video game I tried was mass effect andromeda, I landed on a planet to shoot space niggers, but I was sucked into an unskippable dialogue with an alien transexual who told me all about they/thems sex change operation and the importance of LGBTQ+ I did control alt delete to end the LGBTQ+ lecture and never touched a video game again

A user posted that games from the mid 1990s were considered ancient by the mid 2000s, and games from the mid 2000s felt dated by the mid 2010s. However, games from the mid 2010s still feel very comparable to those released in the 2020s, suggesting that the evolution of gaming may have reached a point of diminishing returns.The post has since generated a lot of debate, with many agreeing and others pushing back on the idea. What do you think, has gaming really plateaued, or has innovation simply shifted in less obvious ways?
>>524516654Corpos have been fucking up badly and forgot their main market: young men/adolescent males. Most of whom, go figure, don't want to play woke tranny games. The fatal blow then came with the AI industry screwing over everybody else in the hardware front.

Good.
The push for "realistic" graphics was a mistake, it's genuinely hard to tell npcs apart from the environment since they're either brown and grey or have a wet/slimy look to them.
>>524530704It's a game where you grow Marijuana, Maple Trees, Make syrup,smoke weed and race. It's great.You grow potatoes and make Poutine to eat and syrup to drink. Sell weed and french fries. Full vehicle customization, great mechanic interface. Make friends too! Only one developer Santa Goat who regularly updates. They just had a big update this winter.
>>524516654I can't do with the repetitiveness of video games like I used to when I was younger. I wonder if that is the problem. I'm perfectly fine with Counter Strike but I could barely keep up my interest with Battlefield 6 which was actually enjoyable to a point.

>>524531220Yep. Indie games are the best they've ever been. So many titles come out and usually they are less than $30. Less demanding on graphics. Better Storylines, gameplay, design, even animations sometimes.

>>524532529I was given a switch for Christmas with a year of online play. I didn't realize how many old games are available on the Switch. I haven't had a Nintendo since I had a Gamecube and I've been having a blast playing these old games like MGS3 Snake Eater on it man.

Yeah, strong woman Samus is not moving Switch 2's. Whatever tranny garbage Sony and Microsoft are pushing is surely not helping. But this is forbidden talk. Let's blame the cost of hardware going up a few bucks in an industry where games have never cost less than $50 in the 80s which is like $150 today.

Good. Gaming has been liquid shit for like two fucking decades at this point, ever since it went from being an obscure hobby for nerds into the mainstream normalfag consciousness. Videogames haven't been the same since corporations with diversity quotas started making them instead of like 15 dudes working out of a garage slamming dirt cheap beers while blasting Slayer and calling each other nigger faggots constantly.https://youtu.be/Vhtpm3lgoCY?t=625Hopefully it can return to being as based as it once was.

>>524516654Their games suck. And they spin out a new console every year.But now that graphics cards have become more expensive than entire new console setups both decline.
>>524516654>Video game industry is crashing in real time.Not yet. Wait until we see more monthly or quarterly reports like this. Comparing this past November to November 1995 keans you have to keep in mind how things picked back up in 1996 and kept growing. Nintendo had a misstep with the Switch 2 launch and both the PlayStation and Xbox brands are atagnating because it's been 5 years since they last released a console. Nintendo can still turn things around but cutting prices and both Sony & Microsoft will probably announce their next consoles sometime in the next 18 month, and these could help pick things back up for 2026.
