Realistically, how worse can things get? I feel like we're at the bottom of the barrel and the only way left is upwards.
Hopefully things will get shittier and shittier until the "AAA" market crashes and these dumb fucks stop making games with 8 year development times and 500 billion dollar budgets.Silksong completely BTFOing every other game of 2025 and being a $20 indie title should have been a massive wake-up call, and yet...
>>735579573Well, every concord lost and normal games are winning again, so I think we're climbing out of the pit. Just keep doing nothing in regards to concords and other troonshit and don't listen to seething trannies when they spam the board about normal games being terrible for some reason.
>>735579573>Robert Garriot is now SIE's (PlayStation) President of Game Selection
>>735579573No matter how shit things get you will always have actually good game that are made by Privately owned studios that have an actual passion.Only people who literately cant play a game unless its AAA marketed slop flavor of the month are cooked.
gaming is a colossal industry compared to what it used to be. Its way bigger with a larger audience than even hollywood.
>>735580612>shartsong>goodlmaoLMAO
>>735579573>ultima's robert garriott>robert>not even a picture of RICHARD garriottWhat is the point of this stupid AI niggery?
>>735581989he never said it was good, he said it was a 20 dollar indie game that blew every AAA game out of the water that year, at least i presume he meant in terms of marketshare
>>735582119They are brothers, retard. Robert is the business guy who helped found Origin and Richard is the Lord British guy.
>>735582119are you a brain injury? Robert is his brother and was more of a businessman while Richard was the idea guy (with shit tons of generational wealth)
>>735579573Having a lot of games being made isn't a problem.A lack of reliable curation, and having piss poor filters when searching for games, is the problem.I search for immersive sim games, and I get shit like visual novels and simulators. I go to reviewers, and all they're doing is sucking off the big publishers for a paycheck. These are huge problems today, and why nothing really good is being found by others.
>>735579573Way, way, way worse. Indians haven't even really entered in to the market yet.
>>735579573This guy is a scam artist btwI love later U games like 7, 9, and UO but let's be honest the original early games only did well because there was nothing else, they're so bad and unplayable unless you're a boomer who got to experience them when they were brand new.
>>735582570You are incorrect and "that guy" was a book keeper essentially, you are thinking of his brother who was the driving force behind Ultima.
>>735582267>>735582318Guess I'm retarded, I didn't know about Richard's brother. Still it's weird hearing him be called "Ultima's so and so" because many associate Ultima as being Richard's creation, not Robert's.
>>735582956Its all right. He's like that third property brother guy that does 99% of the work but isn't nearly as charismatic
>>735582570>only did well because there was nothing else>they're so bad and unplayable unless you're a boomer>I love later U games like 7, 9, and UO>9, an UOYou have no self awareness. Even a critically acclaimed game like 7 is considered trash by modern players and critics
>>735583157I've been watching the Majuular stuff, and its kind of confusing how the series stopped evolving even when games like Wizardry, Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest began popping up
>>735579573>37 years agoso before the internet?coolwhat a relevant opinion, it's not like digital marketplaces have basically infinite shelf space or anything
>>735582956There was a good >>>/vrpg/ thread a little while back about how Richard was a huge fucking hack who stole the majority of what made Ultima Ultima from some megaautist who would regularly clear difficult crawlers (like Wizardry) for fun.
>>735584307lol post the thread, I want to see.
The AAA industry will probably completely collapse in the next 5 years or so, and it's the best thing that could happen. Too many studios have sunk millions of dollars into their own off-brand DEI hero shooters that they're too deep in development of to cancel. Since zoomies/alphas don't buy singleplayer games either, studios like NaughtyDog and Guerilla Games will probably go under as well. Games will have to stop relying on meme tech to sell and will have to actually be good again, meaning indies will survive while bloated AAA companies will flounder.
>>735579573I think gaming as we know it will disappear in the not too distant future.
>>735579573>I feel like we're at the bottom of the barrel and the only way left is upwards.The bottom of the barrel can be removed and then a hole can be dug under the barrel.Things can and will get much worse.

>>735585240actually hmm that isn't the thread and I can't seem to find it. maybe it was deleted for some reason.look up the name "roe adams".
