I always see people calling fighting games dead, especially when they are referring to other skill based 1v1 games like arena shooters or RTS. But here is the thing, fighting games are more alive than they have ever been. You need to remember that fighting games are also on console, and most modern fighting games have crossplay enabled. Take the steam daily peak player count and triple it, that is basically the true daily peak of available players. I'd say there are probably anywhere from 100,000 to 200,000 unique players daily when you take into account all modes. Compared to arena shooters, fighting games are incredibly thriving. We have active local scenes, competitive scenes, and online scenes. The biggest name in arena shooters only gets a peak of 400 players daily. RTS games may be a bit more popular than fighting games when it comes to player count, but our competitive and local scenes are actually alive and thriving. When you compare fighting games to other popular games, you have to remember it is a 1v1 game. A better metric to compare it to other games is to take the number of possible matches that could be happening at a time. For example, in order to fill an ARC Raiders lobby you need 21 players. Lets take the peak and divide it by the amount of players you need to have a match.>445,973/21 = 21237Now lets do the same for Street Fighter 6>37,646/2 = 18823Note, these are only Steam numbers, the amount of playable matches at peak hours is actually much greater. Outside of the titans, the "liveliness" of SF6 is comparable to most popular multiplayer games.Sorry for the bad grammar, I'm ESL.
>>729092223>Every new franchise or returning franchise that's not SF or GG is doomed to failGranblue Fantasy Versus is doing wellTekken is doing well, despite people hating the gameRivals of Aether 2 is doing fine, considering it's an indie game and an IP that no one gives a fuck aboutCotW would be doing okay if SNK spent more time balancing the game and less time blowing Saudi oil money on marketing and egregiously high tournament prize pools2XKO is doing poorly because it sucks and Riot has no idea what the fuck it's doing
>>729092783>Granblue Fantasy Versus is doing welllol. lmao. That game is so unfun it's unreal and has the worst player retention in a fighting game.
>>729092783>Granblue Fantasy Versus is doing well
>>729092783>GBFV 66L and 20 second combos with the worst system mechanic (brave points) in fighting game history.
fighting games are like MMORPGS where 90% of normies will flock to the 1 or 2 most popular games and the remaining ones are played by diehard autists

Spoilers for the final boss for the SoS DLC
>>729093465The DLC/Cyclops boss fight is merely a vehicle to introduce Hornet to CrossWorlds.
>>729088584There should have been more moments where she actively opposes or sabotages you, either via additional fights (though propably not necessary given that we already have 3) or otherwise stops/hampers your progress. Shit like, dunno, flipping a switch etc that closes a doorway in front of you, forcing you to do some alternative path/puzzle to open the way, breaking a bridge under your feet plunging you back down to fucking bone bottom or something, triggering gauntlet fights and so on.Essentially, make her the instigator of more of the shit you have to deal with as you climb up to the Citadel.
>>729073872truth nuke, I absolutely adored silksong but the lace/granny silk stuff are some of the weakest elements in the game, I know radiance would be very tough to top, but surely they could've come up with something better, or at least added more characterization so those final moments actually hit properly
>>729093889eh they fit the more personal story a lot betterhk's radiance was really grand but lacked any weight imo, the reveal with the sun saves it
I want a good avatar game damnit bonus points if it lets me kill the blue freaks
>>729093415Humanity in Avatar is pretty evil. I would prefer if they had nuance so far nothing they do is morally sound within the context of the movies. They enjoy murdering random animals, destroying the environment, they haven’t been shown trying to make any effort to agriculture just some industrial war machine devoid of civilians. Every one of them is either a corporate drone or jarhead grunt. Problem is the Navi winning 24/7 due to plot and inferior tech is also boring. A civilization that has mastered space travel should not struggle with bows, arrows and simple daggers or tomahawks.
>>729093724>You like black girls? I love emhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXZbjOhlJJ8
>>729093528They do. Every Avatar movie has had a couple of random nipslips
>>729093610The cure to industrial polution is better technology, not neolithia>>729093949>Humanity in Avatar is pretty evil.Yes, and very stupid, because the story is blatant propaganda.
>>729093862Quarich is literally the most popular Avatar character. And in fact, arguably the only actual character in the story.
what games capture an american aesthetic well?

Is there any burgerpunk games?
>>729090597>poland still looks like thiskinda, add zabka stores and more parcel lockers
>>729084810>>729085147>>729085284Also there are essentially two kinds of American suburb: old suburbs and new subdivisions. Old suburbs are charmingly intimate: brick buildings, tree cover, narrower streets, and 10-15min drive to downtown. Whereas new subdivisions are very cookie cutter construction, multi-lane feeder roads, scraggly tree saplings, and arduous 45min+ commutes.Since migration is dictated mostly by employment opportunities and more recently migrants seeking warmer climates, the charming old suburbs in the Midwest/Northeast (outside of tier one metros like NYC/Boston) are bizarrely cheaper than the machine printed subdivisions in the South. There's also a weird dynamic where conservatives champion older idyllic suburbs as American Greatness but in practice these places are mostly inhabited by liberals.

Will you stop gaming when every new game uses AI?
>>729092316no, AI will enable games to be better
>>729092316I'll just play old games, like I already do.
I will simply make my own games.
>>729092316this looks terrible
no need, the bubble will burst eventually
why do we hate it again? i liked it more than newer games, it's probably the only crash game i love
>>729093232My bad I thought the OP pic was Mind over Mutants.
>>729093389Well Caddy convinced me this game is actually really fucking good. I just need to start it after I'm done enduring YouTube playthroughs of the previous two games.
>>729093501Oh, based on the text of your message I thought you were trying to reply to >>729092613.
>>729093547It's only an "ok" God of War clone, and better than the two games that preceded it, but that's not saying much.
>>729092158Context of release matters. Crash had gotten far away from it's original Naughty Dog roots, and CotT pushed it the furthest. I think people like me who had grown out of Crash by this point saw no appeal in the direction it was taking. And then they made another one. Is it a bad game? I couldn't tell you.
Explain why you dislike John Highguard without sounding racist or ageist
>>729092132>Its like its overdesigned but not inspired at allIts called afrofuturism, there's no technical or engineering knowledge behind it so it never looks functional or believable in any way. You can recognize this at a subconscious level, which is why the best and most impressive sci-fi artists have backgrounds related to that sort of thing. When you just draw stuff you thinks looks cool with no clue what its for or how it might work, it comes out retarded and forgettable. Lil Highguard niggo should've had some kind of ablative conquistador cuirass or modular coat with pockets for ceramic plates. Something that looks medieval with plausible modern protective materials.
>>729092756>red scent

Hey it's still not Forest Hunters which is literally not possible to complete without online play in DS1, even DS3 lets you farm Farron Swordgrass from ghrus in the swamp even if it's not optimal
>>729092149I farmed it from silver knights, took a couple of hours
>>729092149
>>729092149Even in 2016, I think I only got 4 or 5 of them from actual invasions, the rest came from farming silver knights because of how hard that shit is to grind.

>>729092048this but I'd make every hemorrhoid flare up and randomly make men do hard in public.I'd also prevent women from going on their cycle to spook them with fake pregnancies.I'd make tiny self renewing blood fountains for mosquitoes and make them fuck off from sucking humans forever.I'd make it rain blood then put on huge umbrella filters to extract the sugar out of the blood to bankrupt all sugar producers, making agriculture lose its spaghetti.I'd make extra blood from raw materials and sell blood packs of all blood types to rack in cash.I'd use blood mastery to produce really fast blood test results.I'd collect iron, copper and other weird metals from blood and make cool ornaments.I'd make the iron inside people become magnetically conductive and watch them clamp on magnets.I'd swap random people's blood with crab blood and watch them become a bit blue.
Make billions cleaning people's veins by using their blood to shred contaminants like cholestorol buildup and have blood carry most microplastics to be pushed out via urine.

>>729093725Nvidia no longer wants to provide memory for the GPUs.Might as well provide unified memory for CPU and GPU in one standard, like on consoles

>>729083530>3600xI don't feel so goodgo on without me...
>>729093932It's not like they were making the memory. They bought it from GDDR5 manufacturers, who also don't want to bother supplying consumers with their production when they can sell it at like 10x higher margins to datacenter business.
>>729093531Most OEM AMD systems are stuck on that generation because the manufacturer doesn't provide a bios update to allow the next gen CPUs to work anyway. My parents HP is like that. I had to get a Ryzen 5 2600 and an R7 430 to update their PC to Win11 because the motherboard can't be updated to support a 3200g. OEM AMD systems are just as cucked as Intel.

Do you actually 100% games or do you beat em once and quit?Last game i 100%ed was Isaac Rebirth in 2017. Put over 1000 hours into it and then never touched it again
What's the worst game you have ever perfected? For me it's Halo 4. I didn't even like the game yet I beat the campaign on LASO and did all Spartan Ops missions on Legendary solo. Shit fucking broke me and I will never perfect a shit game again.
>>729075710beat them once and then quit. unless I replay it a bunch and there's no super difficult achievements. dark souls and its achievements are a good example of how far I'm willing to go to 100%. I'm not doing any "replay the entire game on hard difficulty" type of achievements though
>>729093649Shadows of Doubt. I fucking hate how unfinished that game is.
>>729093649elden ring. it's not that bad to 100% but I dislike so many things about the game that in hindsight it wasn't worth the effort
