seems like when people talk about the way games looked in the 2000s it's always like>look at this beautiful tropical setting >look at this brown and bloom bullshit messbut having a PS2 it felt like so many games were trying to appeal to emos and kids who thought wind waker looked gay
nothing lasts forever
Primal was a cool game. Not at all edgy. Game is literally about a girl trying to save her boyfriend.
>>722671328They want to take this from you.
>>722671815warrior within was cool people were too harsh on that game
>>722671328I think I just heard a monkey’s paw curl somewhere. Someone just started writing a script for a 45 minute-long video essay because of this thread. It mentions Vexx, Bloodrayne and the Manhunt games. Maybe it ends with a segment on The Darkness.
>>722671328The 90s style is called 90s cool. What's the 2000s era called in vidya/media?
>>722672346The whole trilogy was good. Every game has to have a dark prince-esque character jabbering away now
>>722673680The most recent one got good reviews I think? Have it sitting in the backlog. Something about the artstyle is a real turnoff.
>>722671328Saar you must understand that games must appeal to everyone including women and children so they sell more.It's nothing personal
>>722671328I'll never understand all the complaints about emo and edgy. So what, you'd rather have your stupid boring happy go lucky where everyone gets to be happy like in Sunday morning cartoon?
>>722673865The 2D one? Yeah, wasn't sure about that one. I'd like another like the very first 2
>>722674495Wasn't so bad, most of the timehttps://youtube.com/watch?v=003j5Ib2b2g&ppSaturdays AND sundays. But saturday was better
>>722674495>So what, you'd rather have your stupid boring happy go lucky where everyone gets to be happy like in Sunday morning cartoon?I prefer games that are thematically optimistic and full of resolve. Resolve is an underrated and important element of vidya, I am here to beat a game, not be told some lame and soapy story about a space marine or some burnt out tatoo'd roastie.https://youtu.be/0W5iWCCjNwE
>>722671328edginess died in the early 2010s
>>722671328I like how Kingdom Hearts basically had both
>>722672346>>722673680Nobody ever talks about Two Thrones for some reason is it that bad?
>>722674998>>722675325So, you like stories about how things magically work out for everyone even though anyone with a smidgeon of experience knows it's pure unadulterated bullshit? >Resolve is an underrated What the fuck are you even on about? That was one of the most cliche and overused trope ever. "Just believe in you me and the goodness of heart and things will work out somehow haha" that really sounds like a lame story except instead of space marine it's about the usual thing you can see in average shonenshit for ten yo.
>>722675873It died because people relentlessly mocked its self-seriousness after a while. Whedonisms and Marvel writing emerged as a backlash against grimdark media that took itself super seriously. Now the pendulum is slowly swinging back. I feel like we’re on the cusp of a new sincerity movement, since people are getting fed up of ironic and juvenile insincerity.
>>722677150It wasn’t bad at all. It was just the boring middle ground between SoT and WW, so it didn’t stand out as much. It’s worth playing because you can actually see elements of what would eventually become Assassin’s Creed emerge in it.
