I am sick to death of the casual-gamer, lowest-common-denominator, sub-100 IQ retard wiping out gaming history with their mediocre, uninformed input. The internet was a mistake. Gaming history is being scrubbed from human record-keeping and documentation. Masterful works of the past are being replaced by slop-addled common opinion from vermin who don’t even know video games, or who play games “just for the story” and/or visual experience alone. This is incredibly reductionist and misguided.Video games are very complex experiences that take huge teams to produce over multiple years, consisting of gameplay, music, sound design, art, story, and more. Developers certainly contribute heavily to this lost history as well, with their endless sellout remakes and remasters that make the originals worse, while providing almost zero genuine homage or respect for works of the past because it isn’t in their best interest to highlight superior art that makes their trash look like the worthless net negative to society it truly is.Into the foreseeable future, gayming historians and brave adventurers are going to look back on gaming to see what all the buzz was about. They’re going to discover some of the most commonly listed “masterpieces”1990s: Chrono Trigger, GoldenEye, Diablo2000s: BioShock, Silent Hill 2, Half-Life 22010s: Skyrim, GTA V, God of WarThese games dominate popular consensus. In one or two cases, they are hard to even consider games at all, featuring so little player interfacing with the experience. Each and every one is shallow trash, with far, FAR superior alternatives of very similar nature.People of the future are going to assume gaming of the past was all worthless trash. Many absolutely incredible works an absolute privilege to have experienced will be gone. Fuck these retarded parasites. And fuck sellout game devs that replaced them with totally worthless crap sequels and shit remaster/rehashes to pander to bottom feeders.
Just don't buy new games, there are problems in our life that literally disappear if you don't care
Is it really so important to you that the things you enjoy now are liked and respected in the future?
>>728915816>shit eating redditors and normalfags love your videogames now! you should be happy about it! even tho they used to ostracize nerds and true gamers way back when games weren't mainstream! are the games shittier now because they have to be more inclusive? who cares! that just means more people can try them! what you mean this will only lead to their quality further declining? shut up chud! why are you trying to gatekeep videogames all of a sudden?!? everyone has the right to experience these games as much as you!
>>728915263These faggots have a name. They're called the extrinsics. We're the intrinsics.
>>728915263based
Holy pseudo-intellectual Batman
>>728915263Didn't read the rest post. Go kill yourself.
This is a black thing isn't it
I gave up on gaming alltogether. All multiplayer games today are fomo traps.All singleplayer games attempt to emulate dark souls or gta or far cry.>the gaming communityA herd of normie animals that drift from one popular thing to another popular thing. They are literally not humans they behave like cows or a school of fish.Yesterday battlefield 6 was popular, now it’s arc raiders, earlier it was helldivers.The average player of these titles is dumber than a rock.
>>728918805What do you mean you gave up on gaming if you're still kicking around on /v/? You just play replayable older games?
>>728915263They are just videogames. Relax
>>728915263Not reading all that but E33 IS THE BEST VIDEO GAME EVER MADE
>>728918805>Fag consume mainstream slop then complains why every game sucks nowPlay these modern games>Ace combat 7>Armored core 6>Bomb rush cyberfunk>Look outside>Nuclear option>Manor lords>Nioh2>Monster hunter sunbreak>Hitman woa>Return of obra din>Outer wilds>Ninja gaiden 4 >Kenshi>Chivalry 2 Or just emulate endless amount of ps2 era games
>>728916298people will laugh but metal fans know how you feel desu
fuming because someone enjoys a piece of media that you don't, kek. tell me you're a virgin without telling...
>>728918532>mmhhh... i wonder how can i make this about niggers?
>>728920156>posts a webm of the epitome of modern casualised garbage in order to prove how games nowadays are totally not trash for the lowest common denominator
>>728918409>T.Sheep
>>728915263>with far, FAR superior alternatives of very similar nature.GTA V has no better alternative though. Even if you dislike the game, if you're trying to say Saints Row is better you're just lying. The RPGs, JRPGs, FPS and story games you mention all have tons of competition thoughbeit. Nothing in the Bioshock or God of War series deserves to even be mentioned at all in a "greatest of all time" discussion.
>>728922739>there's no alternative to open world slop nowadays!
>resposting retarded shit from the den of retards codexYou have sunk so far in life not even a journey to the centre of the earth could pull your head out of your ass.
>>728923675Saints Row and Crackdown are trash compared to GTA V. Even if you want to include 2020s games and compare them to GTA V, something like Cyberpunk 2077 is still not a competitor to GTA V. It's very telling that you refuse to list 1 example of a proper competitor to GTA V.
>>728915263Ok. But Fallout is for casual faggots
>>728923746ok redditor
codex is the last place on earth where i want to hear some pseud boomer rant about gameplay declinezero self awareness about how rpgs have always been glorified spreadsheet sims and virtual novelshis top ten is classic reddit shit like deus ex and morrowind i bet, not arcade games
Bioshock -> System Shock 2. The same game almost, by the same devs, just with 10x the intelligence & substance. Measurable. Objectively.Chrono Trigger -> 90s Final Fantasy (excluding 4). Same loose game concept by the same devs, just with 10x the effort. Measurable. Objectively.Skyrim -> Arx Fatalis or Morrowind. Same loose game concept (same dev in one case), without the selling out to imbeciles like you.Half-Life 2 -> Half-Life 1. Same loose game concept, same dev, just actually somewhat more substantial and respectable. Duh.GTA V -> GTA: Vice City/San Andreas. Same loose game concept, same dev, just 5x less dumb and pandering. I'd recommend playing other games instead though. Good but not great.Goldeneye -> Literally almost any other 90s FPS chosen at random (PC or console) if it wasn't made in the third world or Miami. This game is thoroughly mid.Diablo -> Play an actual good action RPG of the 90s. Ultima Underworld, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, System Shock 2, Parasite Eve 2. To name a few.Silent Hill 2 -> Silent Hill 1 (same dev) or certain other real Survival Horrors with actual substance instead of pseudo-intellectualism.God of War -> DMC1 (2001), Ninja Gaiden (2004). Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams (2006), Demon Souls (2008). Same loose concept but as usual, much more substance.This is the real history of quality and accomplishment in their respective niches or styles. Without going in to all the erasure happening elsewhere for others. My job as someone not retarded and with broad gaming history across most platforms is to set the record straight.
>>728926048I played almost all of these games, I'm still not seing the "erasure". Like I thought, just another dumb sperg who doesn't get the concept of older games not being talked as much as newer releases. Even then, I don't understand your butthurt about relatively niche (compared to rest from your list) titles like Silent Hill 2, buzzwords like "pseudo-intellectualism" aren't replacement for proper explanation. I replayed all 3 Silent Hill games several times, for the record, including getting all stars rank. Parts of your picks are also comparing apples to oranges, like I'm not a fan of Diablo, but what the fuck does that row have in common besides loosely shared concept of "leveling"? Those games aren't interchangable at all. Skyrim/Morrowind - Morrowind is nowhere near forgotten, and Arx Fatalis isn't alternative to either, much as I like it. Same goes for the rest of your list, it's useless because you got dropped as child and don't comprehend logic or theory of mind.
>>728921443>never touched a special investigation
>>728915263>wordswordswordsOkay.
>>728915263agreed
>>728915263what games would you list instead?
