Why don't they make games like this anymore?

>>735006978Everything is algorithmically designed to be as bland and inoffensive as possible to avoid alienating a single customer who might pay for micro transactions.
>>735006978I never bought it because I hate the aesthetic. If I had a PS3 I would've skipped Infamous for the same reason. I want to play in an actual comic booky world with costumes etc. That moviegame Dispatch has the right idea. It's still mature and realistic(lol) but it had costumes etc. Prototype devs should've made him a Venom knockoff.
>>735007248gayest aids tier opinion
>>735007284The Prototype devs are gay, I don't remember any hot bitches linked to this game. Only see a grimy fag in a hoodie looking like a Linkin Park song every thread.
>>735007248Being a giant supervillain would kind of make the stealthing part hard>>735007351>I don't rememberBut you just said you never played it
They still make near shovelware open world games.
>>735006978this game had a great idea but a weird execution, the bosses were ass, the main story was thrown out of the window around the time he meets with that one medic/mortician, too much over-reliance on vehicles to make damage, repetitive enemies on the hive side. still it was campy fun and the arms movesets were pretty cool, if only the sequel didn't fuck everythang up...also, and i say it completely non-ironically, greene seeking out zeus/mercer's genes as he became more powerful should have been a central plot point
>>735007473I vastly prefer the gameplay of 2, to the point that I only replayed 1 once but 2 about 5 timesOn replays I don't care that Mercer went full retard between games and that Heller hates computers
>>735006978No one is making super hero games anymore unless it has DC or Marvel slapped on it. Infamous and Prototype filled that hole for a bit
>>735006978modern devs are too cowardly to make games about killing glowniggers and jews
>>735006978>Boring QTE shitfest
>why don't they make boring ass whiteslop power fantasies for timmycels with the most generic boring white dude fighting his demons or some shit protagyeah bro I wonder why, maybe it's because those games suck?
>>735007692
>>735007692i fucking love power fantasies for straight, high t men. even if they are shit, there's no way they get as low as your typical libtard game
>>735007776>power fantasies for straight, high t menget a taste loser
>>735007726Was this the first time a studio died to DEI?
>>735007692>thenice Reddit buzzword
>>735006978It was an AA game and AA studios were wrecked everywhere by the publishers that owned them in favor of more resources and employees for AAAs.
>>735007815that's my taste, bitch, and every intellectualoid seeking anything else out of this fucked world can lick the shit crumbs outta my asshole for all i care
>>735007416Yeah but without any of the fun superpowers, just boring empty worldCyberpunk is a good example, a setting that would perfectly explain why you can run at the speed of light or have a jetpack to fly around, but instead your only movement option is a double jump/charged jump and the entire map is designed around driving in a car. Not even a cool flying one, just a regular car
>>735007887and your taste is dogshit, nobody wants to play whiteslopyou are a pathetic low t loser that needs his digital toys for manchildren with power fantasies to compensate, absolutely disgusting>something about shit and assyep as expected
>>735006978Great, now I have to download and play it again.>>735007692I can't wait for your kind to die out.
>>735007965i know you're trolling but don't think shit like sony moviegames or dustborn aren't as much of a power fantasy as those other games. except they have way worse characters, aesthetics, values and plot"sticking it" to the big bad with witty puns and power of lolbertarianism will never be as satisfactory as sticking a big fucking blade through his chest with no regerts
>>735006978investors are averse to gamble for untested game concepts. They need sure 4x investment return
>>735006978You speak like those games were in abundance
>>735008153>I can't wait for your kind to die out.so far only timmycels refuse to breed for some unknown reason, half of gen z is not white btw and they are the most progressive generation to date tookeep seething pathetic golem lmao>>735008186>i know you're trolling I'm not>shit like sony moviegames or dustborn aren't as much of a power fantasy as those other gamesno, they are a high quality narrative-driven games that goes beyond what's immediately on your screenhaving nuance is a sign that something was made by intelligent people who can read between the lineswhat nuance is there in "some random white retard goes on a killing spree"? I mean it does happen in reality quite often but that's not the point>as satisfactory as sticking a big fucking blade through his chest with no regertsturbochud degenerate
>game about violently murdering zogbots and glowniggers>agents come out of the woodwork to spin the thread about racial issuesI'M NOTICIIIIINGREMEMBER THAT IT'S MORALLY SOUND TO KILL GLOWNIGGERS AND FREEMASONS AND BOHEMIAN FAGGOTS AND ROSICRUCIANS AND SHIET THEY KILL BABIES BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY THING NOT FIGHTING BACK
>>735008629and then the thread stops dead in its tracks when they're called out o algo
>>735006978https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNwQLw6hfig>Why don't they make Magic City Man anymore
>>735006978>>735007084>Everything is algorithmically designed to be as bland and inoffensiveNigga, it was a "dude you can kill everything and shit explodes and theres like lots of blood and you are a cool bad guy" game, in the early 2000'sThat as stereotypical as you could get for the time
>>735007965you shitskinned shiteating indian. Why do you literally eat shit?
>>735009286>we had shitloads of cool games = games were blandThanks for your input, modern AAA dev
Prototype is one of the most fun games of all time. Of all time. If you disagree you're a tranny, brown, or some other type of subhuman and should kill yourself immediately. 2 is not canon. Bring back Prototype.
>>735009286It really wasn’t broccoli head, you would know if you were born before Twitter existed. There were very few games where grinding old ladies into paste with a tank Tiannamen Square style to traverse the map was a normal gameplay element. The non-linear storytelling with the Web of Intrigue also assumed players could visualize the apple and imagine how they would feel if they didn’t have breakfast this morning. Now games have yellow paint for the people who don’t know how to change the batteries in smoke alarms.
>>735009510Yup. Prototype is pure kino and the story was cool too. Then other writers took over and Mercer was killed off by a nigger and the franchise died. It's incredible how long this has been going on for.
>>735007073They literally just came back though.https://www.newradical.ca/Also, in relation to OP's question, Control Resonant seems to be quite Prototype-coded so maybe give that a look when it comes out.
>>735006978To simple for modern audience Modern gamer want deep cinematic experience of a father and son on their cuckold journey
>>735006978Prototype wad ahead of its time.Saints Row IV do the open world city super hero thing rather well.
>>735010876Yeah I'd generally say SR4 was a good successor, you just have to forget that it's a SR game so you don't get sad about the series never becoming as good as 2 again
Canon Alex(blacklight) wouldn't mindlessly kill innocents and take over the world. Hes a good virusboi doing his best to protect his notsister, defeat Blackwatch, condemning Dr. Mercer, save New York.
>>735006978Spiderman came out not that long agoAnd next mortal shell game has some body horror stuff
>>735010941Is there a more kino moment in vidya than Alex realizing he doesn't really exist anymore and is just one of the many forms the virus can take?
>>735006978Sequel happened
P2 was a fun 7/10 gameBut final boss fight was actually kino
>>735011048You had to beat Mercer who was switching between all the powers, right?
>>735006978>Make a large mapPain in the ass>Probably make some indoor spaces for set piecesPain in the ass>Have to animate walk, run, jump, fly, basic attacks, and 9001 special attacksMassive pain in the ass>have to generate and then remove hitboxes over all those attacks>Have to write a plotNot nearly as difficult as Triple A diversity hires, soulless Azn bugmen, and indytroons make it look, but they all make it look REALLY hard>Have to make enemy AI for a variety of enemy types in 3D spaceTremendous pain in the ass.Much, MUCH easier to just slop out some cheapo card game to moneyfarm autists like Slop The Spire devs keep doing.
>>735011106Yeah each phase forced you to use a different ability
>>735007692>timmycels
Only Prototype and Infamous stand on their own>SRChanged formula everytime to really count>Spiderman etcIt's only popular cause of the brandIdk what else, would you count Crackdown as 'games like this'?
>>735006978>video games are political>we don't use the word "fun" here
>>735007726My biggest frustration with P2 is that Heller is a top level military guy who also seems to have like 700 IQ after meeting AlexWhy does he talk like a street nigga? He’s supposed to be a hard ass military guy he shouldn’t be talking like that
>>735007845Heller being a nigger is just the cherry on top of everything else wrong with prototype 2.
>>735011405He is not 700 IQ if you actually played the game, he is actually really, REALLY stupid, and it's brought up constantly. He breaks computers because he doesn't know what he's doing, he needs the basics spelled out for him constantly because he's such a moron. It's endearing or annoying depending on the scene
>>735007845No they made good amount of profit But Activision wanted cod profits Not single player profits
>>735011405Why does meek scientist Alex Mercer shout NOTHING CAN SAVE YOU FROM ME, NOT ARMOR, NOT WEAPONS? The voice of the protagonists is what the writers want them to be, and in this case they want Heller to be a nigger who puts the white man in his place, for obvious reasons
>>735011508>He breaks computers because he doesn't know what he's doingReminder that he is literally using the body and memory of the scientist who uses that PC for a living. So he should know what the triangle button doesI still can't tell if that was intentionally stupid or the writers are just faggots
>>735011508That doesn't makes sense either.Alex literally rewrites his genetics code, and Heller and absorb information in 5 second And forget about all that he's literally a special forces guy, those guys aren't meat heads
>>735011540I just think writers were stupid af who didn't put much thought into either character Only designers knew how to do their job properly.
Heller is cool
>>735011681The only cool thing Heller does is immediately realize Mercer is lying after he says "o-oh yeah we'll totally destroy the virus haha yes that's what I meant"
>>735011540Wasn't that near the end when chasing captain whatever through the city? At that point you're a demigod that killed entire armies of both special forces and mutants, Zeus would've been drunk on power no matter what personality he woke up with and believed to be his main one
>>735011681He had a lot of potential but waiters suck ass
>>735011540>meek scientistthe game makes it clear that he was an "le billion iq sociopath lateral thinker plans within plans" type of guy and by the time in the story when he hunts for Taggart he already killed a bunch of people and infected so its not out of character at all by that time
>>735011540>taggart scenetaggart fucking poured every military he can on alex just so he can escape to reagan ofcourse alex would lose his cool
>>735006978Because of geopolitical reasons beyond your comprehension
>>735011808>le billion iq sociopath lateral thinker plans within plansWhat was his original motivation for throwing that virus bomb in the subway station to begin with? I can't remember
>>735006978playing Hulk Ultimate Destruction on my ps2 with my friend was peak gaming, it never got better.
>>735009447It "was". Nowadays its a meh game
>>735011991I never got around to playing that, is it worth going back to? I hear the movement is a lot more like P2 which I prefer over gliding
>Consume some random grunt/Blackwatch>Help army purge hives and infected shitters
>>735012065>mission where you're disguised as a trooper>run around with a ripped-off heli missile pod>grunts go "damn man you're strong"lyl
>>735012019yep, better than prototype imo
>>735011932Literally to spite Gentech because they caught his ass lmaoLike it was one big fuck you to everybodyGranted, they did want to kill him because he was one of the scientists working there but still, dick move
>>735012183Oh right wasn't he on the run and dropped the vial to get them off his ass?
>>735007562Which character is Jewish?
>>735007845Dunno how the programming and writing staff changed, but the sequel sucked because the villain(s) were poorly written, not just the hero.
>>735012110>I eat a lot of red meatMy friends and I still joke about it to this day
>>735012220It was an RE scientist moment>I MADE THIS VIRUS! IT'S MINE, AND IF I CAN'T HAVE IT, THEN I'LL INFECT THE WHOLE WORLD WITH IT
>>735010912>you just have to forget that it's a SR gameFor sure. It completely lost its form and became a shitshow if you compare it to the originals. It's an entirely different game with the name Saints Row.But when you look at the game as a stand-alone it surely has worthwhile gameplay and fun super powers mechanics.
>>735006978Because basedboys of that time didn't give it the at least 80 it deserved at the time. Maybe if we championed games like this we could get out of the helllhole the world threw us in, but I doubt it. Lets just play animal well and whatever other indie scroller-fuck is available.
>>735013214
>>735006978>Why don't they make games like this anymore?Because its not feminist enough
