So this proves /v/ only cares about wifus and hentai and VN and story, not real traditional gameplay.

I want interactive stories actually

"arcade games" most definitely meaning shmups do not have good gameplay.
>>
>>720804462
I used to think I want them, but stories mostly suck, so I would take gameplay that I like over stories.
But there is more than those two, it's also aesthetics, and I don't mean just mean graphics quality.

doesnt matter your gameplay first cope because zoomers now grow up with gachas and mobile games.
>>
>>720804661
I don't play gachas and I have not played mobile games for like a decade.
>>
>>720804661
gachas and mobile games are extremely gameplay focused.

>>720804462
Arcade games objectively suck ass and jaded millennials are the most annoying mofos out there.

this isn't from lack of interest btw, it's from faggot retard jannies. We had one of these that was 95% on topic and 5% completely ignored shitposter maybe 4 days ago and it was chugging along quickly at like 250 replies when it got pruned.
Why bother?

>>720804462
so true oomfie, that's why silksong is so big which is pure gameplay
>>
>>720805492
that's a movie like inspired jrpg game.

It's a story game.

>>720804462
First of all, /v/ is, has been, and always will be, shit. It will never get any better. You should be doing anything else than browsing or posting here.

Second, the nature of the arcade game is one that requires a time investment and a mindset to be enjoyed, a community is a plus. This filters out a lot of people whereas everyone has opinions about and can interact with porn.
You're a retard.

There's no comunity.

Did I say it was a necessity or did I say it was a plus?

Turns out community is hard to foster on an anonymous imageboard.

The problem with arcade games was that millennials started calling them "retro" and pushed adventure games as the future back when home consoles and even PC games were starting to get popular. And now, everything has to include walking sections and "numbers going up" because that's considered gameplay
Traditional gameplay just gets watered down into weird adventure shit, blending it with story, context, or whatever immersive narrative bullshit as if that's what games have to be now. And if your game doesn’t check those boxes, then it’s just labeled outdated
Gamers want gameplay, but these days "gameplay" just means immersion. Video games aren’t games anymore they’re basically interactive larping platforms

janny autosaged my thread about an itch game with like 100 reviews, while we had actual gameplay discussion
>>
>>720806983
nah. arcade games are just inferior.
compare the package you got with something like mario world thats hardly a cinematic experience compared to some arcade platformer. its not even close.
>>
>>720807848
Yeah, you just proved my point sarcasm or not. Honestly, those arcade companies would have a better chance of success by partnering with sega or rockstar to include their games in GTA or Yakuza, rather than working with M2 and releasing them only on playstation
>>
>>720804462
The harsh reality you need to understand is that there's barely anything to maintain a discussion in quartermunchers while story tends to have more people invested in talking about the characters they liked.
Typical arcadey game discussion is usually a few people reminiscing and some people bitching about one point in the game, while a couple praise the spritework/models and music. Rarely do they ever make it to 300 posts, let alone bump. Hell, unless it's super popular or has a cute girl protag like Alisia Dragoon or Trinea, it's not making 100 posts most of the time.
That's just how it is.

Lore > Story
FFX has good lore, retarded story. Elder Scrolls is basically the same thing.

nope, they're extremely player login focused
