>storyfagsBasically people who do not see past the story of a game and talk/think like thats all there is to it. Not applicable to VNfags as the story is the main portion of their game.>graphicsfagsThe type of degenerate that goes to a thread and hypes up a game by posting images of how pretty a game looks. I can agree that graphical improvements over the years have significantly improved how much we enjoy games but these “people” put so much stock in graphics without a single mention of gameplay that they are just another variety of the storyfag, probably worse considering the graphics are the least important part of any videogame.>open world and survival craft genreIts fine to like this but most games under this category are absolutely devoid of mechanical depth and appeals to the typical normalfag.>ContentfagsBasically content in an empty sense, sidequests for the sake of sidequests that usually amount to a simple fetch quest that takes you nowhere interesting, large open areas completely devoid of any level design, completely vertical progression to keep things as simple as possibleThis is why not gatekeeping and keeping your hobby open instead of a secret was a mistake. We need to go back to the days where normalfags where embarassed to play things like pokemon out in the open.
>>735166567So basically if we just rounded up and killed all the fags, the video game industry would be fixed?I'm not sure you are correct, but I'm willing to give it the old college try.
Open world survival slop is amazing when it's in a PvP game that can get away with weapon durability and full loot PvP.
>>735166567nah what really ruins videogames are paypiggiesthere's nothing to do in modern games because all the cosmetics are locked behind the in game currency which is of course available for real world moneyif you're not a paypig, you are simply an npc filling lobby space to keep the paypiggies entertained
>>735166567>open world and survival craft genre>Its fine to like thisop is a faggot, opinion discarded
>>735166867Probably should add liveservice and micro transactions to ops list, but thats really just another thing perpetuated by normalfags and can also kinda fall under “contentfag”
>>735167137I mean, I don’t really like the genre myself but I can see the appeal someone might have for it, assuming its an actually well-crafted experience and not the most generic thing ever like Skyrim.Skyrim wouldn’t even be fun to play if it wasn’t so moddable.
>>735167192i don't think it's as simple as that. things that were present in older games with smaller budgets are now no longer available by simply playing the game.
>>735166567Let's not forget to talk about the massive, overwhelmingly absurd amounts of indie games flowing in with all the same genres:>crafting>roguelike>deckbuilder>pixel graphics>some co-op shit where you collect garbage or fart together with 1 - 5 other people>metroidvania
I've recently found myself becoming a grafxfag. I'm not looking for triplegAy photorealism or fidelity but at least have an artstyle that's tolerable to look at and don't just dump the shittest models or sprites or textures or lighting on me and expect me not to feel negatively about it.Don't get me wrong I like pic related a lot but it looks ugly as fuck.
>>735167137my last 3 games i've played extensively have been open world survival craftingand i had fun with all of themwhatchu gonna do about it? shit and piss your pants? i am also older than you and have played video games for longer than you've been alive. lil gup

>>735167137ARK is one of the best games available, perhaps tied for, or exclusively, 1st. It has a huge amount of items to differentiate low-power and high-power play, a lot of content, and really fun base-building and resource accrual and usage. It's literally Pokemon With Guns.
