>>734994686because they don't understand the culture, they just want to make money.
You're saying this as if Fortnite, Roblox and GTA5 aren't the most profitable entertainement mediums on this planet.
>>734994686what's he playing?
Gacha games though as far as I know are pretty successful, and that's a really bad thing and the damage it's done to asian brains is probably irreversible.
Yes REqiuem is GOTY an your going to have accept that
>>734994686Nerds got replaced en masse by Normalfags and the publishers are sticking to a meta of how to appeal to and get the most money from them. Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't. They're all ticking off the check boxes of what makes a "successful game" and praying their game becomes one of them.Like Arc Raiders right now is doing pretty well despite having three of the traits on your list.>extraction shooter>live-service>microtransactions

f2p in gacha is god tieryoure just a shittergacha games get more in funding for 1 big update than most games get their entire life cycle you just sound like a cutscene enjoyer who legit believes the acting, dialog, writing in video games isn't sub par to the lowest quality film shat out in the past 10 years

whats the point in portraying chud as buddha when chuds are seething 24/7 and attached to destroying things?
>>734995614Don't forget to put in your note how you were bullied on 4chan. We need the rep.
>>734994686I built my RTX5090 rig when the RAM boogaloo started. the only "le next gen" game I played was ARC Raiders for 30 hours.This past month I've only played Quake Live and C:DDA - I've been having a blast! More than I can say for the game industry's output this year
>>734995827How about you learn to type BEFORE partaking in a written online discussion.
>>734995429There are still plenty of games for the autistic, it’s just that they usually look like shit.

>>734996717It turns out making ragebait is incredibly easy marketing.
>>734996026I assume you mean indie games, in which case that's true, but I assumed that OP was mainly talking about the AAA publishers that keep ending up in headlines.
>>734996840thats nonsensical
>>734994686Because video games are inherently a medium for easily-entertained children.Which is the reason literature, movies and all other forms or art will always stand miles above low-effort time wasters like video games.
>>734996948How do you figure? In an age where the currency every product wants is your attention, and your sense of frustration is the feeling most easily tapped in to, of course they're going to use it to advertise.
>>734994686I wish we got sequels. Instead we just get remakes of prior sequels.

>>734997148I don't get it.
Why does doing nothing enrage the normies so much?
>>734997639>/v/ tries to play a videogame
>>734994686People who rag against this shit and say modern games suck ass always play the shittiest slop exclusively. Like ask me how i know OP has played the entire MGS series front to back dozens of times, yet has never so much as considered 1ccing a shmup
>>734997706Because "nothing" is static. It isn't developing, evolving, growing. It's an unnatural state of life.
>>734994686>flanderization of charactersWhat does this mean?

>>734994686>political messagingJust saying: Is it possible to make any game with a thematic without being accused of that?Take GTA.In the current culture war GTA San Andreas would be called woke just for having a black character.And of course GTA 6 is accused of being woke for not having "white" character choices.I've heard the devs (of the time) said they had problem writing GTA 6 simply because the IRL landscape was already too crazy to even parody, and now it's worse.In GTA 5 you'd blow up the head of a tech-CEO with his own smartphone to play the share market.Today's tech-lord are more criminals than you are, they have the POTUS a call away, they can track you down using AI in your phone and have algorithms push any opinion they want.
>>734995827Because chuds desperately want to be seen as good people without actually doing anything to justify it.

>company with fuck you money gambles on proven formula (fornite, roblox)>if it sticks, everyone wins>if it fails, just take the loss and dissolve the dev team, another service/game/product will make up for the loss>repear until you hit successThat's why we've had concord after concord. For investors and higher ends it's just pocket change that can be recovered with something else. And if they hit it big (arc raiders, marvel rivals) just milk it until people drop it and try again.
>>734995827have you even looked at the absolute state of current fandoms?faggots seethe if you stop supporting franchises that end up becoming gay and lame by trying to appeal to the "modern audience"they will call you a chud no matter where you lean politically

>>735001945>In the current culture war GTA San Andreas would be called wokeNo it wouldn't. Woke is an incorrect or over representation of a group of people or ideology.A game's woke if it portrays communism as a great working system that a lot of people want. A game is woke if it portrays the majority of the game's companies as ran by strong female CEOs. A game's woke if portrays India as a clean and organized utopia.The are examples of woke because they are all trying to push acceptance of a message that isn't true.
>>735002254>they will call you a chud no matter where you lean politicallyThe game was rigged from the start...

>>734994686Publishers used to operate on a two year turnaround rate. Now they operate on a six year one.They are simply incapable of adapting to market trends without being forced to rework vast swathes of their games, which is why so many of them get delayed and end up bugged sacks of shit.

>>735001945>In the current culture war GTA San Andreas would be called woke just for having a black character.No you are retarded.Also a GTA San Andreas could not exist right now because the cultural environment that lead to its creation is missing.The whole genre of hood movies about some smart black kid with potential getting tied up in nigger shit that drags him down is dead now and the new generation doesnt know about it. And these movies specifically do not exist anymore because le "woke" would not allow movies that are critical of black culture anymore, even if they were made by blacks.THIS is why you wont see a San Andreas again.
