>>721900869/v/
>>721900869People talking about video games like they're a serious genre and not a fun hobby.
>>721901225>you didn't play the game in gamer approved waymany such cases
>>721900869Coomheads and their lefty counterpart.Quality and fun don't matter any more. The only thing that matters is whether a game has coom material or alphabet representation.
>synthetic manall i think about when i see someone slop posting>Nintendo bootlickingalways amusing seeing anons explain how nintendo should raise the prices of their old games because...inflation >everything is problematican excuse to be racist and post boobs>PCMRmy sharingan cannot see below 144hz. *taps double chin
>>721901309It's really easy to tell who started playing games 7th gen and later.
>>721900869Grifters. I come to /v/ to talk about the realities of the industry. Especially AA and AAA. So how does a game get funding, how much control does a publisher have, who decides what games get made and who has creative control. How does the cultural climate affect the tone and themes? Why do devs take so long to make a game? Why do they announce games so early? Why do they keep games for years in pre-production and early access? But those kinds of threads usually die on /v/ before ever getting any traction and if they do it's because some retarded faggot is spamming /pol/bait completely derailing the topic.
>>721900869why would you partake in the discussions of retards>>721901225they can be both imo
>>721900869easy internet access, iphones, etc; just normalfags in general
>>721901617>So how does a game get funding, how much control does a publisher have, who decides what games get made and who has creative control. How does the cultural climate affect the tone and themes?All of these are at least tangentially /pol/ related.
>>721901143FPBP
>>721901782>All of these are at least tangentially /pol/ related.Only if you want them to be. The direct connection is market research. And, even if it pisses you off, a nigger trannys dollar is just as green as a white mans.
>>721901143/thread
>>721900869I only come here for news and shitposting, online discussion is the most retarded thing ever created The internet should be used to communicate with family, friends and people with the same interests, not to play debate club with random tards
>>721900869/v/, gamergate, 2015-2016, and now currently bots.
>>7219008694chan becoming a well of crabs in buckets constantly shitposting for even the mildest modicum of attention. Just take a look at any given Silent Hill f thread for example, but its pretty much every single new release.
>>721900869You can whine about how you have chud fatigue all you want, we didn’t start this. Anita and leftists started this by saying we need to stop gaming from being a white male hobby and make it for everyone. We didn’t force BioWare to make the demon character in the new Dragon Age nonbinary, we didn’t force Sony to make a fat, ugly, nonbinary Asian woman to be the lead character in their new feudal samurai game, we didn’t force Neil Druckmann to make TLOU2 about muscle bound lesbians fighting each other as an analogy for Israel vs Palestine. All we did was notice that they were doing that, and we’re the ones that catch flak for it
>>721901143This is the answer for literally everyone here and if you disagree you're in denial
>>721901143Sad but true.
>>721902487>The internet should be used to communicate with family, friends and people with the same interests, not to play debate club with random tardsOh, so you want a hugbox, that’s it>online discussion is the most retarded thing ever createdYou only think that because people who disagree with you exist
>>721901617Why would you do that to yourself lmao no one here but you actually cares
>>721902796>we didn’t start thisIt's a combination. First you have designers who are really woke, they recommend their producers/studio heads/project leads consultancy sessions. They already have that budget for such presentations set aside anyway so it's hard to argue against it. Who would argue against a more inclusive and holistic approach anyway, right? You're not bigot after all, right? So the door is already open. Then you have marketing firms with stacks of data supporting the idea of widening the target demographic to increase earning potential, which is always an easy sell. That was about 12 or 13 years ago. Today you don't need any of that anymore. The vast majority of devs themselves are progressives so projects naturally steer in that direction. Now you have to do that whole shebang going into the other direction if you are not a progressive and that is much harder because you don't have that inherent moral good cause(less racist, less sexist, more inclusive design) and you need a much stronger marketing presentation. And that, anon, just isn't happening. You would have to prove that sex sells again. Not only sells, but sells BETTER than the current approach.
>you didn't beat the game>people who clearly haven't played the game making retarded claims and won't go away>being called a shill for simply enjoying a game>endless shitposting and shit flinging for (You)'s>activists infiltrating and ruining gaming>indiansI only come to /v/ for video games so naturally, /v/ being one of the reasons is a given.
>>721902796>All we did was notice that they were doing thatAnd bitch about it and harass people over it
>>721902829yes, /v/ has by far the worst and best discourse about games.For every gem of a discussion, there are one million worthless shitposts and horrible opinions.
>>721901143>>721901617>>721902640See>>721902796
>>721900869>some fag with a gay tattooWhat is this supposed to be
>>721903114Because this is the only place where i can talk about vidya and anonymously call you a retarded nigger faggot without getting banned.
>>721902796>Anita and leftists started this by saying we need to stop gaming from being a white male hobby and make it for everyone.Why is that a problem?
>>721903185>And bitch about it and harass people over itThis is such a dishonest thing to say. The faggots on the left harass freely with everything they spew. This isn't me saying that everyone should just go harass in return but you reap what you sow
>>721903268Because it used to be specifically for me and people like me, now it isn’t and as a result it sucks
>>721900869So consolefags have anti woke fatigue? well I guess you were wrong about PC gaming then. Everyone that owns Sony consoles should be curb stomped on a street corner, American History X style.
>>721900869Every game I care about has some schizo constantly refreshing the catalog ready to shit up any threads within the minute of being created. I think most of these schizos are jannies too.
>>721903258I doubt anything of value is lost with your insights then, you deserve this place
>>721903308>The faggots on the left harass freely with everything they spew.Lmao what
>>721903268Take into consideration that when this bullshit started, games took a sharp decline outside of Japan. Now Japan is being infiltrated and their games are starting to suck too. I don't care who makes or plays games but there's been a very clear downturn. Sales numbers mean nothing when consumers will quite literally buy anything because of brand recognition or because they know someone else who bought it so that means they have to like it. There's rarely any critical thinking or criticism because they don't know how to do either. They just consume.
>>721901143this and pic
>>721900869Noticed you didn't put ESL third-worlders...wonder why?
>>721903348No, it was never specifically for bigots, actually
>>721903519
>>721903527>when this bullshit started, games took a sharp decline outside of JapanThat's a tautology considering you think having a minority in a game is itself a bad thing For people who actually care about games, rather than politics, horse armour was a bigger deal
>>721903583Western video games industry was like 95%+ white men up until the early 2010’s. They made games for people like them
>>721903708They made games for everyone. They just lacked perspective. They never intended to exclude anyone. And thinking that's explicitly worth striving for makes you exactly the bigoted gamer stereotype that you all insisted was a feminist strawman.
>>721903689>That's a tautology considering you think having a minority in a game is itself a bad thingWhy are you putting words in my mouth? I quite literally said I don't care who makes or plays games. If the end result is shit, then it's shit. White people are the minority of the world. All cosmetic garbage and all nickle and diming is retarded. The problems with adding a minority comes with the question of, "are they added organically or is it forced?". If you can't understand why the latter is a problem, I don't know what to tell you.
>>721903852You need to be a bigot to protect the things you love. Gaming is unrecognizable from what it used to be. If you’re a black nonbinary trans woman with vitiligo, I’m sure you love it. But for white men, it’s alienating.
>>721903912>The problems with adding a minority comes with the question of, "are they added organically or is it forced?"No such thing as a "forced" minority, think for yourself instead of resorting to buzzwords
>>721903852Moral whores like this anon killed discussions for me.
Phoneposters from 3rd world countries.So in other words, the creation and proliferation of the iPhone. The internet has been doomed for longer than a lot of posters here have been alive
>>721904054Okay, yeah. You're not worth talking to if this is your perspective
>>721904039I am a white man and I frankly find racist whining far more off-putting than a black lesbian video game character. I love games, I'm happy to share them with anyone, and if anything is ruining my experience it's you lot who bitch more than you actually play games.
>>721901143I think /v/s psychotic hatred for everything has deseminated across the internet. It feels like everyone's a pessimistic cry baby now
>>721904072>Moral whoresWhat, because I have actual principles instead of a kneejerk emotional response to minorities?
>>721900869People that parrot eceleb opinions on games instead of forming their ownPeople stuck on "old good new bad" then eat up remakes/remasters instead of shaming themalso this >>721901225
>>721904182Okay then why are you here? get off the racist chud website. On Resetera they ban any chuds or incels that take issue with trans black women in video games. Reddit is similar. You have both of these websites at your disposal yet you choose to come here and cry about evil white male chuds
>>721904174I feel the same way about you. Been gaming for 30 years and you people make me despise "gamers"
>>721904334>Okay then why are you here?HabitDon't forget, you're here forever Also, if you want to feel superior to places that ban dissent, then the price is putting up with dissent, you crybaby hypocrite
>>721904275Honestly, really good b8 so far m8, keep it up
steam niggersmost insufferable kind there is
>>721904483Okay then get ready to be mad and angry a lot because the people here are still going to be transphobic, racist chuds that shit on tranny wokeslop. In fact I’m going to dial up the bigotry knowing it unironically makes people like you seethe and whine
>>721904497Yeah my earnest reasonable opinion tends to do the trick in this den of irrational irony-poisoned hypocrites
>>721904360I've been playing games for 30 years as well. I played countless games across ps1, ps2, ps3, ps4, xbox, xbox 360, gameboy, ds/3ds. I actually play games and I know what makes games shit. It's been the incessant hiring of activists that want to force their "moral superiority" over everyone. They sanitize everything and it makes for a worse experience. You are the one that endlessly consuming whatever is shoveled into your mouth because you have no principles and think there's nothing wrong going on.
>>721904275>I have actual principlesWhat principles? Going with the grain and agreeing with whatever is the precieved morally correct opinion at the given moment for good boy points? >kneejerk reactionWe can't have principles? Why? Because we are le racist chuds, therefore we aren't human and can't possibly have any worthwhile opinions?
>>721904649I respect your commitment to the bit
>>721900869pretendo
>>721904634>Okay then get ready to be mad and angry a lotSeems to me like everyone here is mad and angry a lot and all you've got to show for it is more tranny wokeslop lelIn fact they dialed up the diversity knowing it unironically makes people like you seethe and whine You asked me why I'm here, consider that my reasons aren't dissimilar from yours?
>>721901309You say that but whenever a well designed game comes along like Expedition 33 people lose their shit over it, so fun clearly still matters. The issue is coom games and leftist pandering is easy so the market gets saturated with them, but the people still hunger for>sovl
>>721904661Bro you just got older and realized AAA games are slop, always have been, yes even the ones you have nostalgia about from when you were a teen
>>721904564Imma bash Neil Druckmanns games over your thick numbskull head. If Ken Kutaragi was still at his old job I'd do a windmill kick in his face to send him into the gutter where he always belonged.
>>721904661>You are the one that endlessly consuming whatever is shoveled into your mouth because you have no principles and think there's nothing wrong going on.You assume too much. No, I recognise there are problems, I just think they are, firstly, misdiagnosed by you people who are looking for convenient scapegoats, and secondly, exaggerated by an atmosphere of enforced pessimism that seeks to stoke misdirected anger at the scapegoats. You view games through a political lens and seethe at any perceived "activism" but it's really just that you can't seem to tolerate hearing a message you disagree with.
More third worlders getting the internet. The immense increase in traffic/popularity of this website. Legitimate paid advertising and bots alongside immense false-flagging and severely mentally ill individuals that insist on making it their lives mission to post the same schizophrenic shit all day every day.Largely I would just attribute it to internet overpopulation and the progress of technology to give retards access to easy mass automation.
Video games? Read a book. Read two.
>>721905004Yes, I was talking about discussion on /v/, not games themselves. Including literally ~50 games released every single day on Steam, maybe like 10% of all games released yearly belong to those two groups.And of course, if ALL threads on /v/ were like people I was talking about, I wouldn't be here.
>>721904873We laugh at wokeslop though, in fact it’s better that the new Dragon Age was woke trash because it was way more entertaining to laugh at the tranny propaganda than play anything by BioWare. Same with TLOU2, shitposting and laughing at it was some of the most fun I’ve ever had on this board. Meanwhile you people unironically get angry at us laughing and lose your mind over it. I take great pleasure in knowing that it’s literally impossible to discuss games like nu-GoW and Silent Hill f here because the tranny feminist devs turned them into meme games
>>721900869people becoming nostalgic over fucking CoD4:MW
>>721905207Mmm yes, I recommend the vagina assof lucifer niggerbastard. Wonderful literature
>>721905049Blatantly untrue. I've played AAA games from the 2000s I'd never touched as a kid or teen and they're FUN and don't have random gay niggers from outer space in them. Halo 2 is just objectively better than any 343i sloppa. CoD4 is just objectively better than any new cawadooty. The Modern Warfare remake was actually offensively bad. I can't believe people actually liked the safehouse, that was aggressively scripted bullshit you couldn't deviate from and the story gave me cancer, I cannot believe the audacity they had to use random statements from the stronk wymyn as inspirational death quotes. They weren't even like, trying to be inspirational. They were just fucking statements.
>>721904776Ah yes, everyone who disagrees with you is just going with the grain, but you, who has the exact same opinion as a thousand outrage slopaganda grifters and changes the target of his ire to whatever marketing puts in front of him on a given day, you are the truly principled one. What's the principle, actually?Principally finding reasons to not play video games?
on /v/? >spammed webm with bad 2 min part in a 20 hours game sucking the discussion>steamcharts/number fagging in general
>>721905049Western games are garbage. Some of the AAA ones from 20 years ago are still good and I've replayed some here and there but after around 2009-2011, they became irredeemably trash.>>721905189>You view games through a political lens and seethe at any perceived "activism">perceivedWhen they're saying "white people bad" that's not really something I'm making up in my head when they're posting it left and right. Even when the devs are explicitly posting it themselves, they're liking the posts. This is the only one I have on hand but there's been countless devs liking/saying shit like this. You've got SBI who have been saying they want to erase whiteness even though they're consultants but studios still go through them. I don't want to view anything through a political lens but when you have the fucking devs or higher ups at studios that I used to like doing this shit, it's really fucking hard.
>>721905403Crazy, isn't it? This place used to be all about absolutely shitting on Halo and such for being "baby's first FPS". Now it is almost impossible to find anyone here who thinks of games like that as anything other than the peak of their lives.
>>721905427>CoD4 is just objectively better than any new cawadooty. The Modern Warfare remake was actually offensively bad.>He actually believes thisIt's exactly the same garbage you rose coloured glasses retard
>>721905262>We laugh at wokeslop thoughLol sure. You were lamenting the state of video games just now but you're really laughing all the time. All the big corporations know: outrage sells. The algorithms love it. It occupies people's minds 24/7. Look at the obsessive doomerposting and tell me, are they having fun? Well, I hope you are because you'll have plenty more to laugh about.
>>721903572He did, he included the tendies.
>>721900869Retards who've never read a book calling a character the best written across all mediums.
>>721905549>I don't want to view things through a political lens but when I go out of my way to look up every dev's personal politics, immerse myself in outrage bait, and seek out threads about games I hate on /v/ it's really fucking hard
>>721905447>everyone who disagrees with you is just going with the grainObviously not, why would that be the case?>who has the exact same opinion as a thousand outrage slopaganda griftersAnd how are you any different?>Principally finding reasons to not play video games?This may come as a surprise to you, but I do play vidya.
>>721905652No it isn't you goddamn actual idiot. The quality decline in CoD is enormous. I actually like all the early CoDs, even 1 for as rough as it is. Imo, campaigns peaked at WaW. 2 was nutty and 3 was pretty propaganda pilled, but it was at least action movie slop tier. The remake is just actually bad. The writing sucks. The levels are short and there's basically no cool or fun fights. The story SUCKS. The characters are trash. The propaganda isn't even subtle it's just full on We've Always Been at War with Eurasia tier. The WRITING. FUCKING. SUCKS. ASS. The plot for CoD4 was fine, simple, fun, effective. The missions and setpieces were great. What fucking happens in the remake? What interesting missions or levels does it have? Fucking jack shit, with an offensively bad story and writing that tries to make everyone look uber badass but mostly just makes them look grossly incompetent. >oh no the remote detonator got brokied I guess I have to kill myself Lmao
>>721905995>Obviously not, why would that be the case?Yes, why would it?>And how are you any different?Well, I don't do that, for one>This may come as a surprise to you, but I do play vidya.It does, yes.
>>721905974>he thinks I go out of my wayI don't go on twitter or bluesky. I only go on youtube and /v/. I don't seek out threads of /v/. I passively see things. Anyways, I'm gonna go play more FF8 as this is the first time I'm playing it. The games that say "never" or have barely any time is not true. I've done a fresh install and it wiped the times. Smell ya later, retard
>>721906129>Well, I don't do that, for oneAnd there you go, showing this is a waste of time
Tortanic really ruined this board
>>721905757>outrage sellsNo it doesn’t moron, if that were true Concord would have broken sales records. And sure, I would love games to stop being woke but honestly? I find just as much enjoyment laughing at it and playing jap games on the side
>>721904054Black Angrbodr
>>721900869When bots, shills, and agenda pushers of all kinds became rampant enough that you can never tell an honest person apart from them anymore. When you try to engage in anything, the likelihood that you're talking to a person who's actually interested in having a discussion has gotten lower and lower over the years, and there's also a growing chance that you're not even talking to a person anymore. And the more your subconscious awareness of this takes root, the less worthwhile it feels to bother trying to have any discussion to begin with, so the only "meaningful" interaction you can take any satisfaction in is to just shitpost and laugh it off until you also become part of the problem.
>>721906379You misunderstand. Outrage isn't a market tactic. It's the product. It's the slop you come back for on a daily basis. And the machine is only too happy to feed it to you. Don't think, just consume outrage and get angry about next product.
engagement farming

>>721903161Pretty much these, but since this was an actual answer the faggots here decided to ignore to continue their shitposting.
>>721906924>Frog faggots
>>721906013Yes I've played them all, they're slop, you could play actual good shooter from the era like Red Orchesta
>>721906379>>721906729Seriously, people make whole careers out of peddling the lowest effort outrage bait, churning out the same shit over and over again, and people keep eating it up. And you think the constant outrage on /v/ is organic? Wasn't like this before algorithms started prioritising that shit on youtube, facebook, twitter, anywhere they value "engagement". /v/ is just one step down from there and they're not even hiding it any more with all the twitter and youtube screencaps.So, what ruined gaming discussion? Start there, maybe.
>>721907196E.g. this gay retard. Fun fact everyone who posts a frog image is a day retard. Post frogs if you're a gay retard
