When did games stop being being about gameplay?What's all this "experience", setting, story shit? Let me kill shit after work I don't need an hour of scenes and walking.
>>719587239Someone post that ragebait tweet of that guy who asks for an adult mode for Elden Ring
>>719587239graphics fags won, the jews won, its over
Americans would rather have interactive movies or watch their favourite streamer
around 2007 when the iphone/internet made normalfags the largest demographic to market to my a massive margin. People that dont play video games.
Stop playing narrative games and expecting them to be action games (which still exist).

>>719588494Yeah bro lost soul aside is great
>>719587239>When did games stop being about gameplay?Like 4th gen?
>>719587239I think a lot about John Carmack saying “video games are like porn, the plot is expected to be there but nobody really cares about it”.Specifically I think about how much better 200 pages of degenerate scenario writing on some random shit on exhentai does more for my boner than doomscrolling the pornhub front page.Context matters. The action demands context. You posted Ninja Gaiden; Tomonobu Itagaki famously said (and I’m paraphrasing) “if you just want good gameplay, go play Backgammon. I never designed a game as good as Backgammon. Video games are about presentation; that’s why they’re called VIDEO games”.
>>719588618Wait for Ninja Gaiden 4, or play a musou?
>>719587239lollmao
>>719587239Half life. Blame that for modern gaming ills.
>>719589602>Noooo! You can't just make a really good game!Literally just play Armored Core or a musou, and shut up. The games you want have not gone away.
>>719587239During the PS2 era when -Japanese studios started to disappear-Arcades started to disappear-Journos started shitting on games for having too much gameplay and not enough story-Women started playing games exponentially more than before-Western studios started pumping out cinematic games and licensed titles by the truckloadetcThis shit kept getting worse until the breaking point which was around 2007, when uncharted came out and everyone who previously thought video games were stupid immediately ran out and bought a PS3 and a HDTV because "bro these computer games are just like movies now"
>>719590267Man I remember when AC came out. Changed shit forever.
