Some influencers say video games are shit nowadays, others maintain that they're better than anything in the past. Others say you just grew old. Some will say truth is in the middle. I mean yea we do get some good slop like RDR2 from time to time but you just play it once and delete it from your computer. No more countless hours thrown away to discover stuff. Pokemon games were only 16 mb and we played the same game for fucking years. Some retards in the school yard convinced everyone that if you beat the Elite 4 50 times you will find Mew. Others said it's hidden behind a truck nobody could access. I remember waiting 2 fucking years for the rocket in Mossdeep city to go to 100%(some idiot convinced all of us that it will take you to space to find Deoxys and Jirachi) and when it did nothing fucking happened. Then Chad came to school one day and shows you how to clone fucking pokemon and things get out of control. The same game played for years on end, trying to discover every corner, every secret, every hidden detail. What happened to video games guys? Where's the innovation? Where's the mystery? Where's the hidden secrets? Where are the rumors? Nobody creates anymore, everything is just a fucking remaster of a remaster for a new console. Everyone's throwing an overhyped cash grab to be forgotten when the new one comes out. It's sad
I'm not reading all that
>>533569074me either, just play older games OPstop being gay.
>>533569049On one hand we got desensitized by the progression of technology making those old games boring, try giving that Pokémon to a kid that plays Roblox. On the other hand the greedy corporations stopped giving a shit about making quality products because people keep buying the shit and theres no punishment for false advertising. Just look at Bethesda it’s pathetic. They also got people hooked on gambling.
>>533569049the golden days are over but thankfully there's enough amazing old games to play that it would take a lifetime to play them all. don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened
>>533569164678 in the id is pretty crazy
There's still some captivating games out there like Stellar Blade, Astro Bot or BOTW/TOTK but I would have to agree on that.Thing is that AAA gaming is on a huge decline and honestly we're just better off playing stuff that came out years ago.Hell BOTW is going to be 10 years old next year.
i don't know i'm not a child anymore.
>>533569049You’re an old fuck now, videogames are for children.
>>533569049Last one i liked was Fear and Hunger years ago, big companies are trash because they’ve tried to streamline themselves too much and minimize risks to the minimum. There’s no gems anymore just pebbles. You just gotta dig in the indie bin now.Just remembered Pluto is a recent one i liked, pretty autistic though.
>>533569049creative people aren't working on them anymore. only hylics
I play Dwarf Fortress so I have no clue what the fuck your are talking about
>>533569049
>>533569049Because we have replace meritocracy with DEI
>>533569049Fried dopamine receptors
>>533569049Mane aint no damn mystery outchea no mo on foenem grave. Shit is DONE solved fore u even figure out how to mash the A button right. You know what Im talmbout? That truck ova by the S.S. Anne in Pokémon Red? That joint wasnt hot cuz it wuz just sittin there in the code lookin regular. Nah bruh. That muhfucka wuz hot cuz we aint know if it wuz in there or if we wuz just hearin playground gospel from sum lyin-ass cousin twice removed. The possibility shawty, that was the whole gotdamn meal. That was the flavor and sheeit. But these leek-head file-diggin ass data goblins? Mang they done came thru and stomped the whole vibe out flat as a busted soda can. Deadass killed the potential. Murdered it in broad daylight. You cant even hold yo breath for the rocket to take off no mo. Why? Cuz sum fool alr opened up the .json file in notepad or whatever the hell and seen where it say "launch_flag: FALSE" in plain damn English. Show is over fore the curtain even get a chance to rustle. Shit is dry outchea. Bone dry.
>>533569049Some people apparently spent thousands of hours playing 1980's RPGs, some of which were mostly just text with some static images. But something about them got people addicted.
>>533569049they got too easy to sell to EVERYONE.heck every game now assumes you've never touched a game device ever in your life or a button or a control or anything and the mouse moves you around! wow!can't miss out on some morons money. dumb everything down. make it all super accesable. the only gate we keep is MONEY. who cares if any of the game is good or not.
>playing video games as an adult
>>533569049you just grew old. I don't care about gaymes anymore, new or old.I'm just too stressed about real life to be able to enjoy them.
I don't care about women
>>533569164I think the kid would still be able to enjoy it.Those games are timeless, although they may be a little more difficult and would require some patience for them to get pokemon like Salamence or to progress past the 1st gym
>>533569343you got a better way to have fun with obtainable rewards in a system that won't injure your life or bankrupt you?we're all waiting to hear about it mister genius.
>>533569049>Why aren't video games captivating anymore?Congrats on growing up, sempai.
>>533569049old video games were designed with limiting factors. mainly storage. the game mechanics had to be on point, no filler. nowadays you open the game and first need to click through 2 hours of cutscene and spent the next 2 hours adjusting all the autism, colorblind, pronounce, character creation and other filler settings before you are greeted with what is basically a 10 hour tutorial before you get to the actual only good fleshed out content in the game. often times this is only 1 or 2 bosses.the arcade era was the pinnacle of gaming. games were meant to be as short as possible because they didnt want people taking the machines too long, but they also had to be fun so people would be willing to play it at all. you can see the arcade era being reflected in some indie games. my personal favorite is devil daggers.
>>533569343>letting normalfag consensus determine what you do for funI'm out here listening to baby music and playing video games.
>>533569049Most people will look up a guide now if they can't figure something out in 5 minutes. Games are fully reverse engineered on release and there is basically no mistery to anything anymore. Haven't played a video game since dark souls 3 released.
>all these wannabe faggots thinking it's high school and its cool to dunk on people who play video gamesNews flash even the jocks play them now.>>533569354I feel you on that end.I'm trying to make my way around life never mind trying to go to the gym and shit and learn practical skills that I can't just sit down and play these days. I wish I had everything be stable
>>533569418>I need my FUN I need my fake rewardsYou’re a woman
>when I was a kid, some other kids lied to me about the video games we were playing>those lies lead me to believe that the games we were playing were richer than they actually were>then I grew up and realized they were lies and the games were not that deep>in my low IQ mind, that perceived depth based on lies somehow makes the game better than what kids are playing now
>>533569246Me with pong
>>533569481I wont deny that I have used guides for Zelda games and also for games like Xenoblade 2 with the shitton of quests that game had
>>533569453choice and options is part of it now too. back then there was 'the game' of the day. the new.today there's 100's comming out every single day.signal to noise ratio of games is super shit now.>>533569528i wish. get paid like a lifetime of hard work for showing my tits on the internet for a week.
I'm tired of saying bibio gaem threads everywhereyou have a boardfucking use it>>>/v/
>>533569528>crying about men having funWoman behavior
I was watching a family member play Space Marine II and he's just curb stomping tyranids for what seemed like an hour as he mindlessly sprinted through copy-pasted corridors It was such a shitty Call of Duty-esque experience
>>533569049Get a new hobby
>>533569049make your own games you lazy neet.
>>533569049I caught Mew on Red on a real Gameboy with no cheats back in highschool (~20 years ago), near Nugget Bridge.
>>533569049they've been debased in the name of an audience that doesn't exist
>>533569049Because at some point, your brain stops being a child brain and you try to cling to it.
>>533569286if this was true, why old game better?
>>533569049Being limited to physical media and having only a few major releases a year were huge. It meant YOU had to find every little thing and try doing retarded shit. Now you just move on to next game and have 20 games in your backlog
>>533569162>>533569049If you do some research you'll find plenty of indie games like this. Visually simple but thousands of layers.
>>533569049I have no coherent opinion so here's some incoherent ones:1. Alot of what can be done with video games has been done, so totally new experiences are rare.2. There's a shit ton of interesting side quests to do and secrets to find in RDR2. Why do you just speedrun the main story without exploring? If you don't care about the subject matter that's fine but don't say there's nothing to explore. Is it just you grew up and little free time you have must be spent on mire "valuable" things than "omg look at the skellington I found! :D". Also you have no friends who would care about the skellington even if you found it (little bit of projection I know).3. There are no secrets anymore. You can look up all the cool stuff in a wiki on day one. No need to find the funny skellington for yourself. You can just read all the backstory and who it was and what happens after without spending time discovering it in game.4. You aren't a kid with infinite time to waste anymore.
Death Stranding 1 & 2 are single handedly the best AAA games of the recent years.Factorio best Indie. You can easily drop 1000 hours into that.Rest is crap, except maybe Schedule 1, had lots of fun with it
>>533569049I think its the golden age for games, but whatever is made by established large companies is straight up trash. Its somewhat unique economic situation, where actually publishing is extremely cheap, production equipment is extremely cheap and available so the only valuable asset that business needs to success are talent, time and creativity. Whoever gets those by purchasing them on labour market or being lucky to be born with it wins.
>>533569343You sure showed them!
>>533569678Nostalgia
>>533569798What about old games that I have never played before? Why are those better than modern propaganda slop games?
>>533569676You make it sound like Pokemon (for example) isn't objectively worse now than the generation in that screenshot>>533569798There's plenty of IRL newfags without a nostalgia factor and they all play the new games either
>>533569738Death Stranding is one of the most boring games I've ever played. I've tried so many times to get into it but it's just a walking simulator.
>>533569049yeah, you're yearning for your childhood not the golden age for gaming, anon.see, if this song resonates; it's obviously not a video game or from a video game:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeZ1lrywI9I
>>533569049We're experiencing the death of AAA, but the rebirth of indie games. AAA got too corporate and too money, they have to try to appeal to mass audiences and can't take risks anymore. Indie devs can afford to take risks and make awesome games that appeal to niche audiences. An indie dev doesnt need to make $500 million to cover their budget before seeing profit. I'm currently making a strategy game and I'll be happy if I make $10k off it. Kek.
>>533569855>*they do not play the new games either
Fallen Aces is fun of you like visuals and secret areas like Outlaw and other Lucasarts games back in the 90s.
>>533569049The typical 2020's video game is rainbowwashed foidslop with an angry niggress on the cover. Who even plays that garbage?When I start a new game and the character creator has no males and females, only "body type a" and "body type b", I know the profits go to child-grooming trannies. So I demand a refund immediately and never talk about that game again. It's the socially responsible thing to do.
>>533569049You played Troon makermon no wonder you are such a faggot.Chines cartoons make you gay.
>>533569343You are on 4chan you sanctimonious faggot
>>533569867>it's just a walking simulator.And that's the great thing about it.Comfy walking, delivery and connecting though i drive 90% of the time
>>533569561Dude if you liked pong, but got sick of all the wokeness, I've got the game for you.
>>533569193Stellar Blade has subversive liberal garbage beyond it's tantalizing fan service. Literally pro tranny, transhumanist garbage messaging, with a tinge of "the future is female" to make it extra cancer.
Bulletstorm Duke Nukem Edition is cheap these days. It's a shooter full of humor and dialogue that would instantly get it cancelled these days.
>>533569855>>533569852Second-hand nostalgia
>>533569049Play some niche and unique games. Like Slay the Princess, Infection free zone, Kenshi, Aurora4X, Forever Winter to name a few. Just go and try something new instead of wasting your time on Counter-strike or Fortnite with CoD.
>>533569049You grew up
>>533570206>the future is femaleAnd its clearly shit, considering the state of the world in that gameMother Sphere is a cunt
>>533569942>Whurrrrrrrr are yooooo marshalllllll!?!You found the UFO in the desert right?
>>533569418plant a garden
>>533569049It isn't about what you think it is. Its about your inner child dying. So your sense of wonder, imagination etc is dying. And it never stood a chance as in this world there are no miracles. Everyone you love will die. There is no hope. You're drowning in drama, political bullshit and nonsense ideology all day long. And some might say "well you can just turn off the tv and stop following that", but no. In this world it seeks you out, it only has one mission. To kill your inner child. To harden your hearts. To make you cynical.Everything in this world is made to kill that child. Everything. On top of that you got yourself not knowing that, chasing after pussy, drugs, "being a big alpha man" or whatever shit to feed your ego instead of that inner child. There is said there are two wolves inside you. Well thats partially true. You got the ego, a snickering retard of a teenager that will murder your inner child. Which most here feeds daily while thinking theyre hot shit for doing so, because being that kid who just wanna pet animals, play games or whatever isn't masculine enough, remember?And Theres the inner child, the one with imagination, the one who makes wonder. The literal light in the darkness. So many good games today, but you dont feel it anymore. And no wonder you dont, because you reject your inner life which is burned out, reaching out in pain and crying for help and a God that will not respond. Because that God is too busy thinking about what others think, trying to be masculine enough, cool enough, drenching itself in the cultures and politics of people who will NEVER have YOUR best interest in mind.
They still are. It's in the form of the 2026 action shooter Pragmata.
>>533569049Games were always shit and time waste.Still a bit better than watching telly because sometimes you need to think or react to game, but ultimatelly it is a timesink made for goycattle so you do not rebel and have something to do instead of contemplating how shitty everything is around you. A circus from "circucs and bread".If I've ever put these 4000 hours I have in League of Legends into any fucking productive thing, I would be a master by now. Or even if I would do walking for these 4000 hours I would be far more healthy.
>>533569049Why would you go on the Internet and lie? There are plenty of captivating "modern" gayms: Civ V, Total War Pharaoh Dynasties, Cyberpunk, Skyrim with 100 mods, Mortal Kombat 11, Battlefield 1... the list goes on. As other anons have already stated, nothing is stopping you from also playing even older gayms from the 90s or 80s through the magic of emulation.
Because everything now is imitation. In the old days, people only had their lives to draw from. Now if someone wants to create something, they just imitate the video games they played. They no longer live a full life, everything is experienced through the lens of media and that's how products get made.
>>533569354Probably this. I have an uncountable number of games on Steam, and from time to time, I look at them, thinking, "Maybe I should play a game." Ultimately, I spend more time looking at them than playing any of them. Then, I feel like it's a waste of time and close Steam.
>>533569329This. And despite all those retarded decisions game jurnos are still mentally handicapped to play it properly. Videogames are for high IQ people(Not counting shooters slop)
>>533570411Hell yea, so many great secrets
>>533569049Nigger
>>533570503they were. but we didn't gatekeep hard enough. we all wanted to show off our cool game to everyone who would look.
>>533570484This is exactly what I do when looking for a movie to watch. I spend time looking through all the new releases and then watching a few trailers only to remember that modern movies are absolute garbage and at that point my viewing experience has concluded
>>533570481We live in one of the most restrictive and sanitized times in history.
>>533569049>pokemonModern pokemon games can’t hold up to AAA titles in terms of scope or technical achievement because they’re not made by a AAA studio.The Pokémon intellectual property is owned by three entities: Nintendo, Monsters Inc, and Game Freak. Nintendo handles distribution, Monsters Inc has creative control of the brand and creates the characters as well as the trading card game, and Game Freak handles the video game franchise.No one knows what Pokemon is actually worth, but it’s estimated to be the single most lucrative IP in history. Game Freak won’t sell because it’s their cash cow and they got in early. They’re probably a billion dollar game developer with a team of maybe 200.Do you recognize the name Game Freak from all of the other hit titles they’ve been associated with? Of course not. They have one game: Pokémon. They were truly great when they were making mobile games, but they’re batting out of their league now. So they’re a game company who can only produce mediocre games. Arceus was only OK; it’s rated highly because it’s great for a Pokemon game. It doesn’t stand up on its own. If Game Freak sold Pokemon to someone who can actually make epic games the company would fold.
>>533569049>Pokemon games were only 16 mb and we played the same game for fucking yearsI missed out on the Pokémon/Gameboy train, my first console was the Playstation 1. One day I decided to emulate a Pokémon game on my phone to see what all the fuss is about, and that shit sucked ass. Wow I get to walk around a generic pixelated field and get hit with a million random loading screens aka "battles" before I reach the destination, which wouldn't be so bad if the "battles", which are the whole point of the game, weren't just two static pixelated pokemon PNGs standing in place while you choose what "attack" you'll use, and once you finally attack all you're met with is the Pokémon png shaking in place... Wow, riveting gameplay. You basically spend the entire game collecting pixelated pictures of Pokémon that all either stand in place or shake. I'll never understand pokefags, you live in your own reality.
>>533570461I can't help but notice how nobody really talks about the gameplay other than it being like 8-10 hours including backtracking for collectables
>>533569049You got old
>>533569049video games are like books. a big pile of crap not worth your time and a little pile of gems. here's what you should look into in current year->chivalry 2real-time sword fighting, massive team battle multiplayer- the game that i wish existed when i was a kid>day zthe 'slav simulator' >dark souls trilogymassive world gothic RPG with antihero protagonist >gta san andreascult classic, best in series 2D RPGs from the pokemon era are great, but you're missing whole generations of games that are also great. what i think should happen is the right wingers should take over the video game industry like the left wingers did. also, VR gaming is getting better and better, and pretty soon game developers are going to really start taking advantage of the AI boom, even if it just means utilizing more advanced graphics cards with lots of math processing and VRAM.
>>533570970>I don't understand basic RPG gameplayStick to "Steal A Brainrot" or whatever the fuck you play
>>533569074Stick to your ebonics zoomoid
>>533569049>Where's the innovation? Where's the mystery? Where's the hidden secrets? Where are the rumors? Right here.The internet kind of ruined secrets and rumors, but since this game is so old you’re not likely to hear about things unless you look them up. The sequel has even more of what you’re looking for.
>>533570971I was amazed at the lighting and ground reflections on the Times Square level. The runtime is fine.
Hey.Fuck the piss off.
>>533569317Cool. I'll save this image. Maybe I'll try out these games unless they're total jank.
>>533569049>Some influencers sayStopped reading there. OP is a retard that listens to ecelebs If you're whinging about games being shit then blame women and the jews
>>533570468should've played something productive like arma 3 dcs or farming simulator
>>533569049Speed runners are solving most of gaming's biggest mysteries. You probably don't know much about the games you've already played. In the age of console gaming and physical copies, there were limitations on hardware and software. Those limitations drove innovation. That is the answer to your question. It also explains why old games are packed full of amazing content. Games needed to make very good use of the space on the disc. This also led to a lot of interesting quirks as well as a focus on quality.Now there isn't so much optimization. Things tend to run like shit until you mod it and optimize the engine yourself. Luckily there are tons of Pokémon ROMs for you to play. Custom roms. Imported games translated by fans that you've never even heard of. And that's just Pokémon.You should probably play Expedition 33 since that seems to be the most immersive game made in recent years. Small teams are always the best at creating novel games. Even better when a good number of the developers aren't in the video game industry and instead focus on creating good music and a novel, immersive experience.
>>533569049>What happened to video games guys?diversity hires and women destroyed the industry, it's not that you don't have good games anymore but big companies have grown incapable, bogged in too much bureaucracy because they grew too big for their own good and managers that care only about the bottom line so they are willing to make compromises everywhere just to drive profits up (see monetization everywhere, yearly releases, products made by committee where they need to check certain boxes to make the higher ups happy, destroying IPs to hop on whatever new trend is popular at the moment).there are good games but they are usually the ones made by small indie studios that are not afraid of taking risks, also being so small means they are free from bureaucracy and procedure, if a team of 5-10 people wants to make design changes the implementation is immediate, it doesn't need to go through 5 layers of management approvals.don't worry, the pasty white nerds are getting back in charge and the industry is about to turn around in a few years.>t. gamedev
>>533569049There are simply too many games that have diluted things, too many things to pay attention to these days. We're not all on the same page and the acceleration keeps increasing.
>>533569049I'd say it's 25% getting older 75% games are shit. I recently just started playing the original dark souls 1 with 0 exposure to the franchise and was blown away by how interesting, original and fun it was. This is well past my 'games are dogshit' arc at this point. The games are just shit I don't know what else to say, I binged Ds1 and 2 for like a month straight, and again i hadn't so much as even looked at a single frame of gameplay my entire life. This was enough empirical evidence for me to know that things have shifted for the worse in many ways, not just that im older and dont care much for gaming which is true to an extent, but not enough to justify all the stinkers out there.
>>533571029>Noooo you don't understand, it's an RPG, you're not supposed to have fun!All I have to understand is whether the game is fun or not. And whichever Pokémon game it was that I played was boring as fuck. I'm certain there are RPGs out there that do a way better job
>>533569049>good slop like RDR2 from time to timeit's from 2018, anon...
>>533569707Name some
>>533569049It's not that the games were better, it's just that people cared. It's the same for music or films by the way.
>>533569049It became mainstream.And the small guy that make good stuff can't survive in Jewish economic.
>>533569049Few years and AI will make games for you. We're just at a shit time in the industry.
>>533569049Unironically social media and the idea of jewtubers.The exact time I remember no longer discussing cool vidya rumors was mid to late 2000s. Then with jewtubers they try to one up each other with the coolest tips and tricks in an arms race. One of the other things that attributed to this was achievements. They kind of indicate what hidden things you still need to do and jewtubers make the same guides on how to get 100% cheevos.You still see it when new vidya comes out with "op builds" in games like Elden Ring when it launched and then slowly it turned into go here and get x, y, z item and then had the entire game routed with checkmark list for you to mark for the most optimal way to get 100% in the shortest amount of replays of story.Then once you get 100% you are "done" with the game. No longer wandering the game trying to find something hidden. You know you have seen it all and can stop. Or you can look at your friend claiming they beat some hidden secret boss in area 3 and see no cheevo so you dont believe him.That is just my viewpoint tho having lived through the late 90s and early 2000s as a kid so I may be misremembering things.
>>533569074FpbpOur brains are fried from social media and we can't be patient wnough to enjoy even video games anymore.
>>533571141$60 for a 8 hours game seems too much.
>>533570970>filtered by pokemonyou can't make this shit up
The internet ruined everything AND you grew oldI was the one who cloned Rayquaza, I remember it completely ruined the fun
>>533571525If you want hours of grinding to pad out the game then stick with RPGs.
>>533570461A lesser dead space, with AI and a little girl.The level design suck, hollow story and no content.>>533571119You call the reboot of a franchise from the ninety an innovation ?
>>533571300pokemon is 100% nostalgia and you had to be there. I dropped it in middle school after silver/gold came out and trying to play the modern ones today is like, well I'd rather just go do basically anything else it's just so retarded and stupid. It's truly a game for little kids and it's essentially completely saturated by man children who never let go of that part of their childhood.
>>533571528>filtered by pokemonYou need an air filter whenever a pokefag is in the room that's for sure
Currently playing Pathfinder WotR. It's a bit overdesigned in terms of RPG mechanics compared to DnD3, but otherwise kino.
>>533570283Kek, this. I went to play c&c off of one of my old disks several weeks ago and Holy fuck those games were so bad and so hard to play compared to modern games, and im a 90s kid who grew up on doom and simcity.
>>533569049All those old games are available. Just play them. Stop funding globohomo with your dollars.
>>5335690491) You grew out of it and you can't accept that. "No, i didn't change, THE WORLD CHANGED"2) I just finished Tears of the Kingdom and the sense of wonder and discovery is as intense as it ever existed in any media including real life. San Ignacio de Loyola would've stayed here playing it instead of going overseas to convert savages to Catholicism had it existed in it's era. That's a BAD THING.3) Nostalgia is inevitable but getting caught in it is a disorder. Ironically the most sloppy slop in pop culture in recent years come from servicing nostalgic 30 year olds. My fav example is the Star Wars sequels and spin off. The objectively best of the bunch was the one actively confronted nostalgia (The Last Jedi) and it was the one granted the most aggressive reaction. You probably disliked that Skywalker thing even more but there weren't score brigades for that piece of garbage.
I had a spiritual entity lead me into writing down endless documents for a video game and I was promised I would make the greatest, most popular RPG game in the world, but I decided not to do it.Basically it would be a spiritual successor of Morrowind. Oblivion was the beginning of water downed game mechanics and streamlining, and skyrim altough is the most famous game is just a shell of what they could have made.My game was going to be a hardcore RPG where if you die, it's game over... except if you have a child. A unique gaming mechanic, a "lineage system" where you have children and eventually you get to play as them when they are adults. There would also be negative genetical traits and positive ones, so selective breeding would be possible. There would also be dismemberment of limbs.The whole world missed out because I decided not to do this video games, you will never know how legendary the game would have been.
>>533570461>>533571572>le ironic pedo astroturfed gameOf course you would like it.
Old games are like ford probes or something.
>>533571935Modders already made requiem which basically does something similar (turns it into an actual hardcore RPG with internal consistency, challenge and relevancy to your chosen sklill tree/build. )Worth playing if you haven't done it but are a fan
>>533569049I'm not telling you, (You) are all ))))Doomed((((.
I was just playing this game.
>>533571883>I am a retard and have skill issues
>>533571944>astroturfedYeah, no. I was a fan before the supposed controversy. At least put the panel lining over otherwise you're missing the forest for the trees.
>>533572019Yeah that's the old quake editor I think? Good times.
>>533569049You cant make art with empty stomach and when you are told that you are replaceable
I have high iq now so I play boardgames instead.
>>533569317Novelty of a first experience.I mean dragon warrior/quest 1 for example. I played that as a child. And that was my first time playing an RPG with level progression, etc. I had lots of fun with it, talking to towns people and trying to figure out the clues, until I just said fuck it and used the included strategy guide. See also>>533569286Our imaginations weren't utterly fucking cooked back then. It was actually very immersive. Even if it was just some generic slop fantasy story "rediscover with your important ancestry, save princess from dragon, beat evil wizard" Like it literally doesn't get any more generic than that. But being a part of it was crazy and new for me.
>>533572024eaborate
>>533572076It's this game. No sword in Quake.
youre still gonna buy and consoom pokemon waves and winds
>>533569193>AAA bad>praises $70 Sonyslop including a game that is an advertisement for other Sony walking simulators.
>>533572134Hexen?
>>533572177No, it's this game. It has towns, quests, and merchants. Huge world.
>>533572019Its weird how there is no modern daggerfall likes. Only thing that is comparably close is no mans sky, but even it lacks really big dungeons. There are shitton of modern roguelikes, but nobody tried same concept in simple first person 3d for a while.
As an adult the only way you're going to get hooked again is by playing the most challenging bullshit that's essentially full time job tier without any guides. Try wheel/pedal racing sims where it takes you like 80 hours just to get the basics down or something or an MMO that requires 3000 hours to 'complete'
>>533571944It's a genuinely fun and unique game, but you go ahead and keep getting excited for remakes of shit from the 90s.
>>533572134I normally play daggerfall as an unarmed acrobat.Dunno why, it's just fun that way.
>>533572259Aren't the later Elder Scrolls similar?
Devs convinced themselves that because people could look up secrets they shouldn't make any.SquareEnix was btfo by Pokemon which cost 1/500th their budget so hard that they gave up on jrpgs entirely to make movie games so they wouldn't be competing.Nintendo gave up on Zelda to not compete with Dark Souls.Nintendo actually intentionally makes really bad controllers so that 'their' games can't be played on any competitor's machines.Voice acting massively bloated costs for dialogue so written instructions were replaced by compass markers. It also meant text took 10x as long to go through which tips the scale a large amount from gameplay to tedium. Another win for Dark Souls which all but skips story entirely.Blizzard had massive success taking popular games and throwing huge art budgets at them. People modded Starcraft creating DotA and Blizzard became openly hostile to their players ever since thinking they deserved all the profit. This culminated in things like 'You think you do but you don't' and creating an area filled with rainbows, smiling clouds, teddy bears and ponies because people commented negatively about the bright cartoony aesthetic of Diablo 3.Companies changing from a small handful of 150 IQ geniuses to being massively outnumbered by 70 IQ artists completely changed what they were capable of making. Nothing can require thought or overcoming difficulty. Maps that used to be complex mazes became one way tunnels with bright yellow paint on the exits and NPCs constantly telling you what to do before you even get to a point you could decide to do it.Companies also ALL cracked down on people speaking to each other. This one is fucking baffling because how can every single company independently decide to ignore laws, increase costs and chase away customers? There is not a single company that allows people to talk to each other, gaming or not including 4chan. It's a completely untapped market.
>>533570096The backwards L piece is trans.
>>533572254Ah ok never played daggerfall. I played everquest and then wow when it came out. Closest single rpg ive played was wizardry.
>>533572319No, they reduce scope for higher fidelity. Daggerfall is ridiculously huge.
>>533571768>it’s just like the games from the 90’sNot even close. They changed the fundamental gameplay formula.Story quest tells you where to go -> first dungeon -> mini boss to win new item -> new item opens new path in dungeon -> use item on final boss -> new path to next story quest -> repeatThat’s how every LoZ game was played from 1986 until BotW. The fact that you didn’t know that just shows you’ve jumped into the hate bandwagon (it’s a very popular game to hate, presumably because it’s good, unique, and made by Nintendo and therefor not “cool”).
>>533569049DEI
>>533572319Daggerfall is very procedural. All other TES games are mostly handcrafted assets copypasted with different frequency. Daggerfall has over 9000 dungeons which are after a while is the same dungeon over and over, but thats just the technical limitations of the time. Still it creates sorta different feeling to basic gameplay loop that is closer to dungeon crawlers and roguelikes, then any TES.
>>533572076Nope it's Daggerfall.
>>533571141I can't imagine ever paying $60 for a game again. If I would, it would have to have either extreme replayibility or offer 20+ hours of meaningful gameplay.
>>533572173Walking simulators aren't bad if the world building and atmosphere are done so well that it makes the player want to walk around to explore and immerse themselves. The problem is that achieving that is very hard and takes a lot of passion and creativity, which was once the whole point of creating video games, now they're a billion dollar industry and the main driving force is profit. Shadow of the Colossus is basically a walking simulator with nothing but boss battles, but the game is so well done from an artistic perspective that I didn't mind running across long stretches of land to get from one boss to the next.
>>533572661Mobile games are kind of like that and easy to blow lots of money on.
>>533569049I'm late to the thread so no one will care, but there are a few reasons.1. Games are now extremely big business and not made by people who care.Look, games were big business when we were young too but now they're the biggest entertainment product there is. Pokemon was a multi-years long project made by a team with single digit members who had no idea if there was a market for what they were making. Super Mario Bros. had each and every level created on graph paper to represent the exact pixel placement of each object. These were people with passion. Now it's a bunch of MBAs trying to strangle money out of people.2. People have changed.Psychological tricks have been implemented to game peoples' attention to the extreme. This has a few effects: people have come to accept and to a degree even expect this from games. It's not about immersion it's about rapid fire dopamine hit after dopamine hit. They also have to compete with social media. TV is the same way, recently someone from Netflix had announced they were intentionally writing shows for people who had them on while using their phones (aka "we're dumbing this down and cranking up the dopamine hits for the half lobotomized audience).All this comes together, because video games are products now even more than they ever were, and that means the interest is in competing in the "attention economy" more than anything else, games are almost all shit now. There are occasionally great indie games, but even those are largely uninspired or lacking polish. The old games always "felt" good to play and they still do. Kids who give them a chance see this and that's why there is actually a significant retro games community among the younger generation (something we did not have because we were alive when the best games were coming out, no one longed for Atari when SNES, PS1, and N64 reigned)
>>533572731I don't play mobile games
>>533569049The reason you move on from games when you beat them instead of spending hours trying to find stuff these days is because you have 50 other games to get to in your backlog. When you were a kid you had 5 games and that was it.There's still good games that come out, but gaming peaked in the late 90s early 2000s, thats when all the innovation really happened.
>>533572374Blizzard also used to make fun casual games to relax playing. Because of the DotA thing, everything they do now has to be targetted at creating esports. Everything needs timers and logarithmically increasing difficulty that can never be overcome. All their games need to be stressful instead of relaxing.In addition to removing chat from their MMO and never including it at all in their card game which is fucking assinine to anyone who has played cards in their lives; they continually push ways to divide players away from being in the same place. Servers cost 5 cents a month for each player and Blizzard needs to reduce this amount no matter how much it destroys their game.
>>533569049No more white guys
>>533572173Stellar Blade and Astro Bot are exceptions, not the rule.And believe me you will get your ass kicked around in Stellar Blade, it is not an easy game
>>533572796Good points, especially #2. Game theory math is the norm and so is min/maxing and optimizing your characters, account, resources, etc.It's all math now, there's no longer any adventure or experimentation or novel, funny glitches or things you wouldn't expect. Just a bunch of asshole zoomie experts and reddit mod faggots in the gaming scene.
>>533569049I was at that exact spot earlier today. OP pic is a mod btw, that grunt is not supposed to be there.
>>533569049Idk you tell mehttps://youtu.be/KC656o7_zVk
>>533572259The first game that successfully gives players a modding format catered to being AI generated will be the greatest game of all time; and the company will never sell another game so large companies may avoid this entirely.A game could expand as you go ala Minecraft, never-ending content. This could be done right now, it's not even difficult; as said, Minecraft did it over a decade ago, it's just that the content is bare bones.
>>533572813Well if you decide to, they're pretty fun. I kind of went from old school desktop and console gaming to mobile gaming as it's evolving.
>>533573016Mobile games suck and are mostly limited to gacha with dogshit touch screen controls
>>533572259Daggerfall was really cool back then, unfortunately that massive world is mostly empty. Most of dungeons and quests are randomly generated and you can spend hours on one looking for some stupid scroll behind a secret entrance or some random mob. You can also become ridiculously overpowered pretty easy.
>>533573074I'm not going to argue, you've made up your mind.
>>533572950It is all math. In the past games would have really weird shit in them. One example comes to mind being Ocarina of Time where the fat Zora king takes like a full minute to move when you're granted passage. Why? Who knows, but that would certainly never play in a world like today's
>>533569196Games aren't just part of culture but the main culture and have been for more than a generation. They can be for children just as any media can but their is nothing inherent about them that requires they be.
>>533570469>Cyberpunk>Battlefield 1>captivatinglmao
>>533569049According to AI co-pilot...
I think they're trying to make everything appeal to everyone at once. Back in the day some Gears of War fan would have given up on Oblivion in five minutes because they're radically different genres but now saying shit like "if you liked Escape from Tarkov you'll love Slay the Spire 2" is a bit of a stretch but not completely insane.
>>533569049You just have to find games that you like.
>>533571000how do you put it on
The answer is simple: monetization.Video game companies will use sloppification to make you open your wallet for random shit Back in the day companies made money by making a good game people thought was good.Now they make money making slop people will pay for weird shit in the game.
>>533572567Thank but I already know the sell pitch.You are the one that know nothing if you thing they never changed the"gameplay formula".It was just a game with ridiculous advertising budget and it work.It's because of retard like you that fell for that advertising bullshit that we can't have good game anymore, you'll buy anything you see on screen and tell how everyone how good it is so you can be part of some community.
>>533569049rdr2 was garbage though
>>533573133What can I say, stuff like Stellar Blade, Kingdom Hearts 2, or RE4 aren't really possible with mobile.Maybe Pokemon Soulsilver or FFIX since they are turn based RPGs
>>533573400>garbageexplain
I was going to write an effortpost but I'm not gonna bother throwing pearls before a 1pbtid gayreek swine
>>533569049because youre 40y of age!GET THE F OUT OF THE BASEMENT KRYSTOS FFS!
>>533573154Yeah man its like, I don't care about the stats on a sword as long as it has a big skull on it and can one shot someone.Games are supposed to be fun.
>>533573456too much to explaingraphics and world is nicehunting is nice rest is fucked and its hard to mod it into something useable
>>533573350He pretty clearly laid out the formula for you. Breath of the Wild was a substantial change and was very divisive among pre-existing Zelda fans. A couple years after BotW, so many games were effectively clones too. It was probably the closest we'll get to a second OoT in how much a game influenced the mechanics of future games (even if this one was certainly not as innovative)
>>533573350I explained in very simple terms what the gameplay formula was (no need for quotes faggot; everyone knows exactly what that means). You didn’t bother to counter anything I said. The only conclusion we can come to is that you’re talking out of your ass and have never played it. Like I said, it’s popular to hate. >you fell for marketingI didn’t even play it until 2021, and went in completely blind. You’re straight up wrong (and Muslim).
>>533569074FPBPI played like 250 hours of Expedition 33 last yearThis year, I've dropped like 20 hours so far into Stellar BladeVidya is the best it has ever been if you abstain from the AAA-slop
>>533569049>waiting in a passive way like the good goy he is>not making his own modsYou are the reason why the jews are winning the cultural war. If retard liberal faggots can make their own videogames to propagate their cultural marxism why thw fuck poltards will not be able to do it too?
>>533573553ayup, rd2 world is beyond awesomethen they stuck that shitty suck ass lenny game on it.
>>53357355890% of folks don't play nintendo games, it's mostly zoomers who play on handhelds
>>533573400From a technical perspective it's amazing, but it feels like a modern movie instead of a spaghetti western. Rdr 1 is way better in that regard and comes much closer to being an actual western. Rdr 2 is just too... progressive, for lack of a better word
>>533573403Yeah like those card games I think are pretty fun and there are turn based rpgs that I like. There's one game called obsidian knight that reminds me of an old school 90s computer game with lots of replayability
>>533569049i play the bdo game, totally sucks with broccoli zoomer faggots who cant play for shit.for losers this might be fun because there is no competition.
>>533573612>If retard liberal faggots can make their own videogames to propagate their cultural marxism why thw fuck poltards will not be able to do it too?because when you succesfully do one jews cut you from banking system for racism antisemitism or some other bullshit>>533573638also terrible crime and law system terrible economy and cringe storyline or at least big parts of it
>>533573659Switch sold over 150 million units, probably already set the record for most consoles ever sold but the PS2 numbers are dodgy. Don't know where your 90% is coming from unless you're comparing it to the world population
>>533573841The previous mario bros film was also the first to clear a billy bux at the box office. The one thats just been released pulled in over six hundred million in less than two weeks. And they've now opened a Mario World theme park in Florida and Japan.>T. Holder of Nintendo shares
>>533570971They're mostly talking about the little 5 year old girl. I don't think I saw a single screenshot or art of the game without her present.
>>533573833Once you let the idea of racial and sexual equality take over a business you never have the same quality of employees because now your female hr fills half your company with niggers and womenThankfully these corporations are also simultaneously dying or losing all credibility so whole there won't be a return to gaming being a decent hobby but at least it died in a very painful way
>>533573558And you also buy the fake drama.>>533573573I use use quotation mark because I would never have chosen those word normally, because contrary to you a not a insufferable hipster that talk like I'm a smart ass when he know nothing about the thing it talk about other what my favorite influencer say about it.You have say it yourself you never played Zelda before 2021. You know nothing about video game. So stop projecting and go be faggot somewhere else.
>>533572641The problem with Daggerfall is the simplicity of the graphics makes it impossible to differentiate areas to keep yourself oriented.
>>533574110Lol fake drama, what the fuck does that even mean. You're clearly retarded as you could not comprehend at all what myself or the other anon said. I feel stupid even wasting this message on you, but I started it so I'll finish it
Capitalism.Why would they want you to actually play the game forever? As soon as they know the sale is guaranteed they make a subpar product and use the excess funds for marketing. Look at Fallout: New Vegas. In 3 you could go anywhere you wanted as soon as you exited the vault. There were tons of hidden items and buildings with gimmicks (the haunted one is a favorite), everyone loved it. For NV, they purposefully made the game shoehorn you into a hallway so that you only had one experience every single time. The “factions” were designed to only let you progress to about 50% of the quests without locking you out of others, and they pretend it is a feature. The map itself is probably half the size of 3, and every building is fucking empty. I remember fucking around in the air terminal area, the one controlled by NCR, digging through every closet hoping to find something cool. Nothing. Nothing but trash, not even a cool chest with some good loot. 4 did this in an even dumber way, it sticks you in the far bottom corner of the map, much like Skyrim. The company uses dev funds to pay for opinions on Reddit so that no matter how much you mention the game is shit, some literal shill with a tranny nigger flag comes out and talks about how it changed his life and he’s buying another copy. This man was paid to act like a clown for the marketing team.Capitalism is a plague, they do the same thing to your food. As soon as McDonald’s started selling burgers they started cutting them with fake meat. As soon as Ancient Rome started getting tourists they started mixing their coinage with lead. Greed destroys everything, and America will never legislate against it because it is the Mother Harlot.
>>533574306Oh, the fake drama thing was probably referring to my "divisive" comment. Joke's on you, I've only ever experienced this "drama" (aka debates about the merits of different gameplay systems) with people I actually know in real life because I have an actual (not virtual) social network
>>533569049Because youre an old man now.
>>533569049>others maintain that they're better than anything in the pastpaid shills
>>533569455Kek. Checked. Based life affirming vidya playing anon
>>533569049Because we live under Jewish occupation, and we accept their morality which also includes their pronouncement that they have the right to counterfeit money and engage in usury to extract wealth from productive people it's not a surprise that this will eventually filter its way down into everything.Why do you think people call the merchants? Short time preference, buy something someone else made that's low risk and sell it quick at a profit. Their time preference is to get the quick easy money.And that even makes its way into how they fund or manage the arts. Let's take the game series in your screenshot. That was a bunch of guys that didn't really know what they were doing, they learned as they went. Nintendo even had to help them fixing bugs in their game to get in good enough condition to actually ship. But there was a passion there, a willingness to convey their fond memories from their childhood into a game and take some creative risks.The Jew doesn't care about anything like this. They look at it purely like a money lender or trader might. Short time horizon, and caring that they will get their money above all else. When taking creative risks it's a bit like a startup, some don't work out, maybe it's too risky or just the wrong time. Regardless, you understand long term, sometimes this riskier strategy is necessary.When presented with different options, Jews will always go for the lower risk and fast return on their investment. That means when it comes to games/movies/shows etc it's all about established things, that are already popular, already have success. They lack long term thinking to realise that if you do this too much you risk stagnation.Great civilisations become great because their time preference is out into generations, not just a few years. Think of it like being willing to lose the battle today or tomorrow in order to win the war years down the line. Jews don't have this. That's why you see them brag about short term wins.
>>533572049>the supposed controversyHe didn't imply that, braindead. Pragmata is a shit game, the only appeal is the girl which is the reason why you pretend to like it, ironic weeb tripshit, just like every normalfag.Same for E33, retards only like it because of the eye-candy and the effect of the characters getting dirty as they take damage which is nothing new but give the illusion of "realism" and next gen game, the OST is fucking generic, and doesn't mix well with the game, the story and design also run of the mill irrelevant pollution, nothing new for gameplay either. It impress people who have no exposure to games at all. Music and graphics are a given and they're irrelevant in the modern era.Same for silksong and several other shit new games, indie or not. These are all astroturfing.Even chinese games getting praise are nothing to be impressed about, they've been copy pasting games like the ones popular now back in 2010, but retards started to get into games in the last decade and knows nothing. Same shit happened to mobages, people would naturally filter out and ignore saturated clone trash, a new wave of retards got into mobages and then the saturated trash was no long filtered out and ignored (such as kancolle, azur lane, F/GO etc all this trash) and instead began to be played and praised.I think it's the dumber the fandom gets, deader is the culture. Movies, series, games, anime and so on can go to shit as much as it like but if the larping fandom gets dumber and consume and praise this trash that's where everything dies. It's mindless fucking retards enabling scammers.

>>533571288>>What happened to video games guys?>diversity hires and women destroyed the industry, it's not that you don't have good games anymore but big companies have grown incapable, bogged in too much bureaucracy because they grew too big for their own good and managers that care only about the bottom line so they are willing to make compromises everywhere just to drive profits up (see monetization everywhere, yearly releases, products made by committee where they need to check certain boxes>there are good games but they are usually the ones made by small indie studios>don't worry, the pasty white nerds are getting back in charge and the industry is about to turn around in a few years.>t. gamedev This. This is all correct.
>>533574110I didn’t play BotW until 2021. I’ve played every other console Zelda when they were the latest games out, going all the way back to LoZ. >>533573659It’s strange to me how some games (or in this case an entire console) is considered uncool. All video games are for dorks. Hide that shit when girls come over.
>>5335690491. we have no attention span. boredom breeds curiosity, but we have instant gratification in terms of short form content and abundance.2. you have already explored what simple games have to offer. You know that stuff. The novelty is gone.
>>533574655In what universe do you think white people are ever coming back into the industry
>>533569049A number of reasons, and i don't have the morale to effort post. The money involved attracted kikes and it turned corporate. The old culture was replaced with woke nonsense. The politics and the culture of the real world seeped in. The pioneers of the 90's-00's moved on or retired.
>>533569049Nothing at stake, makes for a boring game
>>533573833That doesn’t stop you to create your own mods and skins
>>533574896this is basically how my visit to LA went
>>533574655>>diversity hires and women destroyed the industry,diversity hires and women destroyed the industry,Once the game industry would start losing money for big corpo, they will either unload them, or stop developing. And some small investor with small team will either buy IP and develop a new good game. Or eventually a small team here and there of indy devs will start releasing good games. As usual , big corpos with management who isn't capable, and diversity and women on staff, would keep buying successful games. But they can't compete, they can't release new games or new versions. >>533574850Game industry with women and niggers now starts losing money. When you have losses on a balance sheet - and all DEI hired game dev groups now do . They would have a decision to make - either fix stuff (they can't), unload the game completely (sell IP etc), or unload it to a small studio of 5-10-20 people (who are going to be whites). We are here right now
>>533575012haha no, the DEI doesn't actually go away because society is inherently suicidal. We would actually have to live in a meritocracy for the gaming industry to ever get fixed
>>533574655No, it's all incorrect. It had nothing to do with left agendas. Graphics over quality started this.Indies games anyway became the worst offenders as well as the buzzword itself, steam is composed by mass produced unoriginal plagiarized copy paste indie trash that prays on retards that knows no better and are easily weaponized to give them support to counter all "the hate" and "the AAA titles" because these days if you out or are honest about something, including AAA titles as well, means you're a "hater" which means they'll react giving even more money to the retards fooling them. It's a meta behavior of absolute retards. They're out there giving false pioneer status for titles coming out today as if the past doesn't exist.
>>533573713>>533573456visuals are the only thing it has going for it, the gameplay is complete ass. they clearly wanted to make a western movie so should have just done that instead of shoehorning some shitty game mechanics into it

>>533575530I'm just one guy
>>533575113Some big corps are now losing BILLIONS .Some hunreds of millions of $. They aren't going to hold on to a losing asset when they need to show profits every 3 months to boomer and women corporate boards. Boomer and women corporate boards will start crying and yelling around when they see 6 month of losing money. And they are now all losing money for a year or more. We are at the point where they'd start making decisions. They won't sell Intellectual property to normal people, too greedy. They won't be able to develop something internally, or fix major bugs. Too many women and Diversity hires. So the next step is this - they unload bug fixes and new releases to a small independent studio of white men. Examples btw are a number. City Skylines, killed Sim City because they are large studio bogged by diversity hires.Had the same troubles launching City Skylines 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BNDwgMhWEg
>>533569049But we do play the same video game for years and years, thougheverbeit. I'm having a blast on Anniversary TBC right now.
>>533575570They obviously don't care if they lose money. Once their base of white codemonkies leaves they hire foreigners and contractors and the game looks like every other game and is made in unreal by pajeets
>>533569049The sacred walls between developer-player have been absolutely decimated, which is why games dont even feel like games anymore. I personally blame discord for that.
>>533575639Buddy, they 1. Care if they are losing money , and 2. Have quarterly shareholder meetings, where they'd have to explain to shareholders WHY they are suddenly all losing money. And Blackrock that used to be giving free freshly printend fed fiat to companies that pushed Diversity, recently admitted that they were wrong with pushing DEI. https://fortune.com/2025/02/28/blackrock-diversity-dei-new-team/
>>533575639>hey hire foreigners and contractors and the game looks like every other game and is made in unreal by pajeets As I said 90% of pajeets can't code ,and they are just scammers getting a salary, because their pajeet friends in HR and their management gets paid kickbacks by every pajeet they hire. They are basically hiring not on who can code the best, but which pajeet relative can give him $10/hour off his salary . So it very quickly becomes hierarchy of incompetence and nepotism. So, they can't release any new versions or fix any real bugs.

>>533575877They were only 'wrong' about it because all the money they printed equates to inflation and now people are on the verge of starvation that in turn puts Blackrock in very real physical danger. Blackstone CEO was already righteously gibbed. Blackrock is a split off of Blackstone.The inflation from what was printed has been delayed by financial fuckery but it is unavoidable and far larger than what has already happened.
>>533569049whether it's games, films, books, music, the pool of what is allowed to make them, or breaks through into making them, is small or increasingly smaller, and the pool of people more receptive to them, especially white kids, is dwindling which also reduces appetite for risk on anything new/captivating vs a known genre bet/rehash. In terms of gaming the amount of white kids that were available to buy games in the 80s/90s/00s dwarfs that audience today. The fall in creativity mirrors white depop.
>>533576367>Blackrock did itThe government did it. The government created failed programs knowingly that would crash which allowed Jews to slide in and buy everything for pennies. Guess what. Non white illegal immigrant housing subsidization doesn't work and will never work with massive debt. Anyone you see that is not white is useless competition sucking up resources
>>533569246GTAI guarantee VU will have some Facebook simulator where if you bump into a woman you will be shamed by her and your social credit will go down
>>533575877Yes these major companies which don't actually produce anything will say whatever they want but they still don't produce anything of value and haven't for decades. But hey nothing says humanity but glaring inefficiencies and delusion
>>533569049Jews happened to them lolWhat do you goyim think happened? Niggers injected into them all with mandatory loot boxes and trannies? What happened to television? What happened to society? lol
>>533569049Corporatism has ruined gaming
>>533577611Same happened to Las Vegas
It doesn't help that age verification will be the nail that kills online gaming, or God forbid, gaming as a whole if they demand your ID to even connect to the internet to download one fucking patch
all the best games are gacha now
Because videogames are FOR children you retarded faggot. Your brain has developed but you're a manchild still trying to clinge to the past
>>533578106yes, true men watch slice of life anime
>>533570461Prgmata just looks like a fantasy game wearing a science fiction costume. Theres nothing appealing about it from the perspective of someone who actually likes science fiction.
>>533569049Nigger because you are in your 30s, move on.
>>533569049you never developed a taste for videogames because you stopped playing once you entered high school and started flirting with girls.since 2020, these kind of casual gamers tried to re-entry the hobby and found that videogames now are completely different.in my case, i never stopped playing. i went from platform and other infantile type of games to RPG and action adventure games, which are for adults. i had an evolution.you are lost because you are a casual gamer.
>>533569231Strike the earth, brother. Them goblins aren't going to kill themselves in horrible, rube goldberg-esque traps and torture devices, after all.
>>533571944Everyone calling it a pedo game are self-reporting pedos. Simple as.
>>533569049Western indie game is in better shape than ever, you have innovative megastructure immersive sims / climbing games like white knuckle and peripeteia, hybrids like kenshi and highfleet, amazing 4x games like shadow empire and conquest of elysium 5, extremely competent metroidvanias, reenactments of classics like gothic in different perspective (drova), best version of diablo 1 (tower of kalemonvo), underrail is the best combat crpg ever made etc etcnot my fault you don't follow the scene, spyrosit's the western aaa devs and japs that are doing fuck all
>>533569049>get some good slop like RDR2Boring movie game
>>533577533Arrest that antisemite
>>533576610Blackrock was given unlimited control of the money printing to do whatever they wanted. Government has nothing to do with the money printer, they are just for show and have no power.
>>533569049I did feel that "thing" with KCD until I was railroaded into choosing between fucking a hen, a pig or a horse. It's a matter of design.I found that graphical fidelity usually hurts engagement but then, KCD had good graphics and I was initially engaged, so it can't just be that. I guess it's just a matter of sovl

>>533577878Online gaming was killed when all companies decided to ban chat, the only point of being online.
>>533569049Because of Shitification, life service and a checkbox mentality which doesnt favour gameplay quality nor replayable fun.
>>533569074>I entered this thread solely for the purpose of informing you that I had no interest in itI bet you thought it was a great prank but you've just shown that you're a slave because you can't pass a thread without posting in it even if you don't care about the topic
>>533571355NoitaFead and hunger
>>533578693You killed it with online racism
>>533578548All blackrock did was buy when the government crashed the US economy knowingly into the side of a mountain giving welfare to non whites, how's the plane crashing into the side of the mountain their fault
>>533578807Nigger racism was the thing keeping online alive everyone stopped playing when racismwas banned.
>>533578640Chess is just Go for babbies. and there are plenty of videogames that are deeper than chess anyway. You're a tourist for both videogames and board games. Just stick to chasing women and pretending to read philosophy.
>>533569049Some can still break through and be pretty fantastic. I’ve been sinking hours into that WW1 game, Over The Top, lately. You just can’t expect every game to be a banger when there’s so much low effort slop being produced as well.
>>533569049Less is more. Games from the era you posted were the perfect sweet spot of stimulation vs “negative space.” There’s just enough paint on the canvas to get your imagination churning, and it’s using your imagination that leads to the creation of that magic sense of wonder you’re describing. When you’re bombarded by the audiovisual sensory input of modern games, your brain just turns off and goes into passive observer mode. Ironically there’s no magic to actually seeing a hyperrealistic dragon getting torpedoed up by a hi-res lightning bolt. Your brain doing the legwork to dream up these scenarios in your head (based on simple sprites/polygons provided by the devs) was more epic than actually seeing it would ever be. So it’s mostly that, but not just in the visual sense. Now every facet of the game world has a wiki page. Every line of dialogue from every NPC is “fleshed out” to a marketing boardroom’s standards of digestible storytelling. There’s no mystery in game worlds any more because souless managers find mystery confusing and “offputting” to consumers. Our games are being spearheaded by people who prefer excel spreadsheets to vague playground rumors. As others have pointed out, the indie scene has rallied against this, but even any mystery that indie devs inject into their games gets strip mined by greedy youtubers desperate to farm clicks, and you end up getting spoiled on it by osmosis. I mostly recommend playing the old 16-32 bit era games you never heard of as a kid/have no prior knowledge of. There's thousands of them worth playing and I assure you the magic is still there in them.
>>533578640Jews said goy don't get to play chess anymore. They even removed it off msn games lolYou vill play ze forespoken and complete multicultural adventure as herr niggress, goy.

>>533573337No-kids detectedHave some children anon
>>533579578Not really. It's partly how the gaming industry works. The companies don't necessarily have to survive long enough to release an epic trilogy and afford it. They just need to last long enough until enough people age-out and buy their reskinned product. They turned this up to max at the tail end of the console peak in the 2000's to the point that it killed 90% of studios and series. Once you can't keep the cycle going, of endlessly replacing your customers with new kids, and even the new kids realize you're a piece of shit, you dun fucked up
Games don’t hold your attention anymore because your dopamine receptors have been completely fried by you having sixty different tabs open on three separate monitors, blasting porn into your left ear and the latest youtube racewar bullshit into your right ear, while playing the lastest ubisoft MMO slot machine on your strobing RGB gamer rig.
>>533573337Head and torso through one of the leg holes and then you kinda have to put your other leg between your balls and the pants part and get it through the other leg hole
>>533570970I bet you have dopamine problems . Go consume more tic slop .
>>533579781Is this cope so you don't have to claim you have no standards
>>533578359This is bullshit because I started playing less games in high school and got back into them during COVID. I had never played any of the Dark Souls games before and they were an amazing experience. I played Elden Ring when it came out and it was also really good. Most modern games just suck
>>533569343shmact: i look like that
tl;drthe reason is because you are in your mid 20s and should be doing better things than bing-bing-wahooing all day

>>533569049The last game I really found really good was Dark Souls 1. I know that it's from 2011 but I played it later and it's honestly worth playing. I'm less fan of the sequels, the first one has truly something unique in it.It's not a feeling, old games were really better, new games feel like mass produced slops for fast playing.
>>533569049>good slop like RDR2i have only ever seen this game promoted by people not actually playing the game>look at how realistic the water is>the npc had to bend its knees to jump! omg!>see how the sun casts a proper shadow? this is the best game ever!
>>533569049There's still good stuff being made, it just depends on your tastes in genre. I'm a big fan of MegaMan X/MegaMan Zero style gameplay, so Inti Creates fills that void for me.
>>533569049I grind competitive slop like a drone.
>>533569049Video games are for children. Thats why. Waste of time and money
