what's the harshest truth about vidya industry?
>>733712082You, the player, are gay
Marathon server slam Thursday
>>733712082Practically nobody is interested in making games with artistic value. With the tech that we have right now it's possible to create absolutely revolutionary shit that will change the entire industry and the way people view the medium, but nobody with the means to make that game actually wants to make it. Only indie devs who can't make that game want to make it.
>>733712082It'll never be good again. Gaming was a fad that overstayed its welcome. Between the bloated budgets stifling risk and the fake hype that rides on the coattails of the greatness that came before, there are no new ideas to be explored. Expect more remakes and incompetence until the entire industry crashes for good.
>>733712082The average player is retarded and doesn't know best.
>>733712082Communists, anarchists, poor people, and convicts force their way onto video game developers for fame, fortune, and ego.Video game developers rarely profit within their lifetimes. Only after hundreds of timeline repeats does someone who even remotely resembles the game developer actually profit.
I have not been the target audience for games for about 20 years now. The target audience for many games that come out does not actually exist, as repeated failures have proven. And yet, games are still being made to cater to people who were never real
>>733712082Phones are better than PC
>>733712082The menu is the most pretentious movie ever, and the worst part is that it's aware that it's pretentious, but the villain wins anyway, with everyone agreeing "yes, we should all die because we didn't appreciate a high end restaurant enough."
>>733712324We haven't had but 1 A+ sandbox MMO in 20 years. There's going to be an MMO that everybody loves and plays.
>>733712082The industry hasn't represented actual gamers in 20+ years.
>>733712082Most players don't want remakes. They just want their games to run at higher resolution, higher frame rates, with UI scaling, and minor QOL on modern machines and displays.
Most of you don't care about the game being good. You just want something to talk about.
>>733712082The average player doesn't care about mechanics, integrity or promises. The average player is your braindead Joe buying and playing the games for the "vibes". People that actually care about mechanics, depth of the game and so on are a minority.That is why you have millions of normies buying their yearly slop release like Fifa, Assasin's Creed or CoD because "they've always played these games"
>>733712082troons will never go away
>>733713324But normie slip doesn’t have vibes, the mechanics based games have more.
Is that burger movie?
>>733712082gaming is dying and is being replaced first with extremely low quality phoneslop and ftpslopthen short form video and robloxthen ai will kill us all anyway
Voting with your wallet is pointless because it's more economically viable to get 1000 people to pay $60000 than 100000 people to pay $60.All games will chase the whale.
>>733712448This is all of western entertainment now.Best case scenario it is a bunch of spoiled rich retards who will change course when money dries up.Worst case scenario is that they have infinite funds and they are being paid to produce non stop propaganda by Illuminati types.
>>733712082it became an industry
>>733713634Real "gamers" are a minority. People are paying out the ass for gun, ball and gacha. Candy Crush makes infinitely more than blizzard. Why be a game dev for WoW if you can reskin the yellow bean for lv 25359 of candy crush?
most developers are either slaving away in a big corpo until they burn out and leave in 4 years, or they make an indie game that nobody playsthe ones that work in a cool studio or make a successful indie are rare exceptions that bait new meat into the systemit's very much like holywood
>>733712082That videogames are a distraction and a drug.Gamers will stand up from their screens and their problems will still be there, likely having worsened over their playtime too. A million autists who could have fixed the world in a million different ways instead burn their time, sweat and tears on finding solutions to imaginary problems posed by devs, all for hint of that feeling of fulfillment. Tens of thousands of hours of their own lifespan burned away chasing an ephemeral kind of joy. Nothing concrete, nothing truly real. The world is turning to shit, because the people who could have fixed it, who could have made it a better place, who could have made even themselves truly happy for the rest of their lives... they were sitting on their asses, captivated by pretty lights on a screen.
>>733712082All the games I like are considered mediocre
>>733712082The idea of voting with your wallet as a form of protest is a sham. Everyone already inherently votes with their wallet through what they decide to buy or not buy. Big budget corporate AAA games devoid of passion and live service skinner box games are the most popular types of games because this is what the average consumer voted for with their wallet. The average consumer of games is against the creativity of the industry themselves, not just the corporations.
>>733714934Just because words appear in your head does not mean it is thinking
>>733712082infected with the cancer also known as capitalism
>>733712082Unironically its only good when the game is niche
>>733714934Then why do these games close down, and fire everyone within days of releasing?
>>733712082Gameplay and narrative will always, always be at odds. Even if you try to reconcile the two, you end up with a game where it's distractingly obvious that's what you were aiming for.
>>733712082The best years have already happened, and you were too busy complaining about everything at the time to enjoy them.
>>733715169Because people who play endless live service games have already chosen which ones they want to main and are not going to switch under any circumstance. The ones that have bombed in the last year have done so because the devs are laggards who are years late to the trend.
>>733712082Gaming has split into at least three distinct worlds (Endless, campaign, mobile) and it's not useful to talk about it like it hasn't.
>>733715380If they were just playing live service slop that was put in front of them they'd be playing Lawbreakers. Why are they playing TF2, and Counter Strike?
>>733715691Not that anon but>TF2The only fun multiplayer shooter remaining on the market because it focuses on casuals and customization (custom maps and gamemodes, for example) instead of trying to chase competitive esports money>Counter-StrikeThe third world
>>733715691TF2 and Counter Strike are cut from the same cloth as games like Fortnite, Overwatch or League of Legends. Someone who almost exclusively plays CS2 is not interested in the creativity of this industry. This is the kind of person I was outlining in my original reply to this thread.
>>733716320sounds like you're the only twitter user here
OP copied this verbatim from twitter.You are all faggots for participating.
>>733716371Kill yourself.
>>733716390I might have to make a Twitter account because I hear they'll be allowing region blocking soon. If I don't have to see another ritualposting brown schizo thread for the rest of my life, I'll be happy.
>>733712549I thought the moral of the story was>If you try to put on an air of sophistication in public you should burn alive wearing marshmallows
>>733712749The community in Gorgon shits on anyone who asks for guides in chat, it looks like shit so it won't get popular with normies. Try the demo. This is what MMOs used to be pre WoW.
>>733716390Lmao this board is so fucking creatively bankrupt, OP is a fucking fag
>>733712082it's gonna get worse
Anyone bloke over the age of 18 playing a nintendo or nintendo games is seriously fucking pathetic and likely a paedophile.Imagine being a grown man and playing sidescrollers, or playing the same game theyve been churning out for fucking decades. Its literally a conveyor belt of the same fucking overpriced crap, bright colours and funny little animals aimed at children and yet you have grown men playing it.
>>733712549It's literally the opposite. The whole film is about calling out pretentiousness as bullshit. That's literally what's happening in the OP pic with a character being mocked for thinking too much of high end cuisine.
>>733716390You didn't shit on tourists and normalfags hard enough.
>>733712082It's never going to get better.The golden age of gaming has come and gone
The 7th Generation was the last good lineup of consoles.
>>733715691Anon already answered your question. Live service cattle already chose the game they want to "main". Though really it is more accurate to say that you can attempt live service slop and still fail by failing to even appeal to the people who sink to playing skinnerbox shit.>Why are they playing TF2, and Counter Strike?Both those games got turned into live service slop.
>>733717630We actually do have legitimate normalfags seething over anime and manga on the board>>733718097
>>733712287So by being revolutionary do you mean mechanics, or visuals? I agree on the notion that big studios and executives are not interested in trying to challenge the status quo. But why do you think indie can't break through and create something different?
