What a dogshit year 2025 was for video games. Can 2026 get any worse?
>>733637468i thought we had agreed that civilization ended sometime in 2006-7
>2026>games require a quantum computer to run at 30fps>AI took all quantsGaming is done
>>733637468why is he smokin
>Blue Prince>Expedition 33>Donkey Kong Bananza>Marvel Rivals>Dispatch>Megabonk>Variety of friendslop (RV There Yet, Peak)>Ball X Pit>Hades 2>Silksong>Nubby's Number Factory>Death Stranding 2>Deltarune Chapter 3 & 4>RoadCraft>Monster Train 2To name a few, is it just the lack of shooters?
>>733637751all shit
>>733637781So what would you like?
>>733637896a new genre
>>733637468>Playing retro games on rotation with modsWhat was that? Oh I have no idea, I don't touch modern garbage.
nubby came out in 2025 though
>>733637751>>Blue PrinceWhat>>Expedition 33Shitty French FF wannabe that used AI>>Donkey Kong BananzaNintendo crap>>Marvel RivalsChinese hero shooter garbage>>DispatchSHIT movie game you spergs drooled over because some slut with a nose ring is a "waifu" to you retards>>MegabonkFlavor of the month FOMO trash>>Variety of friendslop (RV There Yet, Peak)See above>>Ball X PitWhat>>Hades 2AHAHAHAHAHA, yes, yes, this woke trash...>>SilksongZoomer FOMO. I guess a half decent game looks fantastic when its floating in a sea of excrement, so in this instance I don't blame you for mistaking it for a gem. You zoomers don't know any better.>>Nubby's Number FactoryThis sounds like a toddler's game>>Death Stranding 2You really have to do better than this>>Deltarune Chapter 3 & 4You REALLY have to do better than this>>RoadCraftOkay, I also have no idea what this is>>Monster Train 2I assume you were running out of ideas now
>>733637751Nah you're right, it's been an outstanding year for almost every genre actually but /v/ doesn't play games.
>>733637751Literally the first thing you put on your list is "GUYS WOT IF WALKING SIM WAS LE ROGUELITE LMAO"The rest is absolute garbage you were loudly told to play, including absolute shovelware for streamers and other retards. Kys.
>>733638102See>>733637896
>>733638453The list is unordered and Blue Prince is clearly a puzzle game not a "walking sim", so way to out yourself.
>>733637751Based, only people that complain are brownoids who are too poor to upgrade their rigs and afford new games lol
>>733637751You must be joking. 1/3 I don't even know about. 1/3 I would never even touch because wtf kind of retard would play Marvel Rivals, Expedition 33 or Dispatch. 1/3 are sequels. Whoopty fucking doo.
>>733638625None of those games are graphically demanding. Even rivals runs well on a 1080ti which belongs in a museum at this point. Those games all suck.
>>7336374682025 was great2026 looks like dogshit there's literally nothing releasing because studios don't want to step on GTA's coattails
>>733638608It is a walking sim. Not a puzzle game. They always have "puzzles" to make you think you're playing a game.>>733638625The shit on the list looks demanding to you????? YOU are the brownoid in that case.
>>733637468Abiotic Factor alone made last year great for gaming.>>733637751All great games here too. E33 deserved every bit of recognition it got.
>>733638608>Blue Prince is clearly a puzzle game not a "walking sim",So, could you explain, why do the puzzles not count?
>>733638925>>733639148I can't believe goy slaves like yourself love the pig slop you got this year
I finished my five hundredth game last year. Here’s to many more.
>>733639148Imagine being such a tasteless normalgoy, clapping and grinning whenever told to.
>>733639351You still have yet to say what games you actually like, I wonder why
>>733639335>>733639351sorry for being happy I guess.maybe you two should try different hobbies.

>>733639547Great then how about Absolum
>>733639637>what if beat em up but LE ROGUELITE and also lame and gay and made by absolute faggots who thought making a ugly blue WARRIOR WOMAN was some POWERFUL statementNo.
>>733639689Okay but what's actually wrong with the gameplay?
>>733639704That they slapped generic roguelite bullshit onto it instead of making a proper beat em up game.
>>733639778And what's wrong with the "roguelite" element exactly?
>>733639792You really want me to go on a long rant about why I gave up on modern indieslop "roguelites"?
>>733639832Yeah, if you could actually explain what's wrong instead of vaguely posting for (You)s it would be appreciated.
>>733639887Sure, here's the massively shortened version because I don't have time for your bullshit.I hold massive amounts of hatred for how indiesloppers think making a "roguelike game" means they can just make like a hour or two of content and then force the player to grind that shit with little to no actual variety. I hate roguelite "progression" that boils down to grinding that limited amount of content for tiny percentage stat boosts. I hate roguelite gameplay that is designed in a cheap BS way because the player is expected to die late into a run. And I hate hate hate how ever since hades indie roguelikes abandoned their arcade nature and kill the pacing with story and dialogue. There.
>>733640008Great, because none of that fits Absolum, you should play it. I do also think it's really weird to complaing about "an hour or two of content" when Streets Of Rage 4 is one of the games you listed.
>>733640059Yeah. Classic, handcrafted highly replayable arcade kino not tainted with any indieslop roguelite bullshit.
>>733640149>Classic, handcrafted highly replayable arcade kinoBut that's exactly the same as>like a hour or two of content and then force the player to grind that shit with little to no actual varietyAgain something tells me you're just masturbating to getting (You)s and just literally looked at a summary for Absolum
>>733637751Bro like half of those are bordering on visual novels
>>733640269Could you list the half
>>733640309No
2025 was alright KCD2AtomfallAlters Mars first logisticsPirate yakuzaSplit fiction
>>733639148>Abiotic Factor alone made last year great for gaming.Yeah, I don't care for that list you linked but I will say AF was pretty good. It was the game that took over my summer last year.
>>733638102>Dismissive contrarian faggot lmao
I mostly played older games last yearbut the 2025 games I did play were:Dragon Ruins II - it was okayZexion - it was fantasticCosmobreeder Yiffai - it was pretty goodToree Saturn - it was okayQuantumPulse 2A - it was fantasticBaby Steps - it was fantasticOnce Upon a Katamari - it was okayHypogea - it was pretty goodAngeline Era - it was pretty good
>>733637751>Rougelike walking sim>FF knockoff>The worst, simpliest, and most basic Donkey kong game to date>Another hero shooter>Movie game that literally mocks any attempt at making any choices, and features full frontal male nudity in the first five minutes>Friend Slop>Block breaker game, arguably the second best game on the list though because of the absolute drought of good games.>Woke trash>Decent C tier platformer from the mid 90s, game of the year sadly.>Worse than most flash games.>Globohomo movie game>NoYou are either insane, stupid, or trolling. >>733640758>If you don't like this masterpiece you're a contrarianMost of those games are widely regarded as trash except Silksong, and E33 is only getting accolades because it was the best high budget 3d game, and it's a worse knockoff of a already bad series.>>733640715Atomfall is worse than a lot of fallout quest mods I've played. It has three friggen enemies, and the second anything remotely interesting happens when you find the space egg the game is over.
>>733641171> widely regarded as trashin your dreams???
>>733641171>>The worst, simpliest, and most basic Donkey kong game to dateWould you like to say, right now, that you think the game is simpler than Donkey Kong for arcade.
>>733637751I'm assuming you're trolling>>733641171>Decent C tier platformer from the mid 90s, game of the year sadly.Had me burst out laughing because of how true it is. I think we're probably the same age.We have to remember that there are t plenty of people born after FFX came out and never played an ff game before 13 or maybe 15. So e33 seems revolutionary to them. Also funny that the guy mentions the "lack of shooters" when rivals is in his list and bf6/arc raiders came out or whatever other garbage these people play. Also Doom the dark ages but it was somehow even worse than eternal. And borderlands 4.Surprised he didn't mention death stranding 2 on the beach or wuchang fallen feathers or where winds meet or Mafia the old country>>733637574Gotta at least wait until supreme commander forged alliance is out.
Cod blops 7 Nba2k26Bf6Madden26Ea sports FC26 (no longer FIFA)These are the top 5 selling games of 2025.My friend's wife wanted pokemon legends Z-A for Xmas, he bought prime 4 and it sucked, my other friends played ghost of yotei.I just played wow TBC on a private server.
>>733637751How dare you not mention monster hunter wilds and oblivion remastered
>>733641787MHW ran like dogshit and Oblivion Remastered also ran like dogshit. I'd add MHW for this year since they've actually deigned to fix it. They are not doing any more work for Oblivion so I'd rather just play the original with working mods.
>>733637751I genuinely don't want to play any of these. I have Bananza, finished it, and found it very boring. The rest of these are just whatever. Expedition 33 being Game of the Year is the biggest nothing I've seen in a while.
>>733642529>>733641623>why do new games suck so much??>no i don't want to play games
>tons of great indie and AA titles launch>abysmal dogshit for AAA games>/v/ claims it was a bad yearkwab
2025 was the year of vaginal games for vaginas and fags. There were ZERO games released for normal males to play.
>>733643039Because they suck, retard.
>>733637468oh, it can get much, much worse.
>>733643564Name some.
>>733637468>
>>733641623>Gotta at least wait until supreme commander forged alliance is out.he doesn't know
>>733647803cant believe after all that, scott making it back and even making 2-3 new comics, hes probably literally had multiple strokes and is probably fucking dead and for real this time
