>want to play a steampunk game
>every single character has a fucking top hat with a little door on the front of it or goggles even if they are a shopkeeper who would never have any reason to need them
Is there a single steampunk video game where the characters don't dress like redditors?

having kino airships shouldnt mean I have to endure deviant art tier characters

The only good steampunk games were thief 1 and 2 and arcanum. the rest is steam powered giraffe garbage.
>>
>>726092424
That is what steampunk is. That's literally all that steampunk is. "What if normal thing, but with goggles and cogs?" Steampunk is for twats.
>>
>>726094868
ok but what it should be if "what is victorian england, but with steam power taken as far as it can go"
>>
>>726092424
My ideal steampunk would be closer to the movie Steamboy. Shame most steampunk anything, games included, are kind of just the aesthetic and none of the worldbuilding or cool stuff that goes along with it.
>>
>>726095043
Steam power was taken as far as it can go, that's why it was superceded. Steampunk is also the reason every drooling retard on the internet uses the suffix "-punk" to mean "aesthetic."

steampunk is a fucking stupid genre thats what you get, you deserve it.

Frostpunk's denizens seem to largely be dressed plainly but warmly for the time, besides the setting's hallmark lamps

Wayfinder, you're welcome.

Steampunk isn't a genre, it's an aesthetic. There are no themes or motifs endemic to it. "What if a guy wore a top hat and goggles" isn't a literary theme.

>Nostalgia on the DS
A really fucking mediocre JRPG, but it's steampunk
>Thief series
Steampunk setting but with none of the usual aesthetics.
>Steamworld series(Dig and Heist are the best ones)
Technically steampunk

If you want Victorian style in a fictional world without cartoonish excess, there are Bloodborne and Dishonored as two obvious options. Neither are purely Victorian all of the time, but they largely intersect with the period and they take their settings seriously.

Ok I retract my statement to "steampuink is a fucking stupid aesthetic thats what you get, you deserve it"
fucking retard.

>>726095472
what is the jules verne literary theme called
>>
>>726095779
Speculative fiction. Jules Verne wrote about steam powered machines because it was the modern tech of the era, not because he was writing faggy alt history.
>>
>>726092424
Steampunk emulates the victorian era. Guess how they dressed back then, moron.

Absolutely gatekept

what does corny steampunk have to do with reddit
>>

That's pretty much what you're asking, Steampunk is inherently Reddit and is impossible to remove or else it wouldn't be Steampunk.

>>726094868
you are english and let pakis overrun your country and rape your women, why should anyone care about your opinion?

>Steam power was taken as far as it can go, that's why it was superceded
No it wasn't. It was superceded because we found something better. If we never found anything better, it would have been taken further.

Fedoras or something i guess.

Wow really?

>>726097448
Steampunk isn't really popular, not anymore at least. When was the last time it was featured in mainstream media?

Is New Arc Line any good?
