Bandit shoots bullet in random place and I walk into it.
>>738158682Just finished pragmata it's more gameplay dense than I thought unlike RE9 movie slop
>>738158682YOU DENSE MOTHERFUCKER
>>738158682Pick related It's funtastic and gets pretty hard if the rank is high
>>738158682why do you keep posting the wrong version of the image?
>>738158682Elden Ring is the most content dense open world game. No padding due to cutscenes, or overlong dialogue or traversing empty areas. There is simply something meaningful to do everywhere.
>>738159809ftfy
>>738159994classic arcade is too large. it should be a 3x3 like >>738159809 to represent that thats how big the games actually are.
>>738160062its not about size or length retard
>>738160157see thats the funny part, the op image implies that due to a lack of filler content, classic arcade games are intrinsically larger in size.when in reality they're pretty small
>>738160206That's a strawman. The OP is clearly about density.
>>738158682pragmata is unironically right
>>738160206Density means density.>>738159809>Muh contentUnironically a well made 40 minute arcade game has more legitimate content than a modern soulsshit or walking sim or bloated to 50+ hours of gameplay by walking around empty space, dead air, rolling past retarded AI, and backtracking
>>738160206This man is a classic arcade game.
So glad we're past the arcade eraIf you want nothing but game go outside and play a sport
>>738158682Why did someone edit it so the labels are reversed?
>>738158682You can't find a game with as much gameplay density as Qix.There's nothing here but abstractions.
'hog
>>738159809>>738159994
>>738160772Except it is not. The 3x3 in >>738159809 is more dense than the other 2 options. By making it both more dense and larger it is saying it is not just more dense, but larger in total volume, which is absolutely 100% untrue with classic arcade games, which anyone who ever actually played a classic arcade game knows. You would understand that if you weren't so dense yourself.
zaga-33 is my new toilet game. good for small sessions and pretty hard. basically a true arcade roguelike.
>>738158682Games like dota, cs, lol, valorant, and marvel rivals have incredibly dense gameplay, yet you guys refuse to play them
Vampire Survivors is density kino.
>>738158682>game has literally NO PACINGwhy would you want this
>>738158884I look like this and I do this.
>>738169420>No pacingBreakneck pacing is pacing
>>738169494no, that's not how any of it works
Can't wait to talk about the music, emulator setup, graphics, and nostalgia in the next shmup thread!!!!!!!!
just downloaded eosd what am i in for

>>738158682Playing Silpheed on the Sega CD, pretty fun.
>>738164210You're correct, but sadly in the minority.
>>738164286Underrated
>>738167349The best version. It looks like a conveyor belt because most arcadeslop is just autoscrollers.
>>738167118>>738159994>>738164210Extremely dishonest Avg AAA has more unique content than a lot of arcade games combined
>>738170592>autoscrollers are bad because... the nintendo youtuber said so!
>>738170681Calm your tits arcadetranny. I know it's because the kiddies in the back of the line want a turn too and their moms are picking them up in 30 minutes.
this a bait thread or a schizo thread?
>>738159938You could cut 60% of the game and it would improve, the dungeons add nothing and the RPG stat mechanics have added nothing ever since they started hyperfocusing on builds, balance and respeccing."something to do everywhere" does not translate to "something meaningful to do everywhere".Normalizing 60$ pricepoints for everything was a mistake, it just leads to the worship of pointless padding and bloat.>>738170612>AAA with large amounts of unique content>Look inside>A flat plane manipulated to look like hills with shaders, one blade of grass that has been copypasted a thousand times, default settings volumetric fog and some randomly placed rocks and trees
>>738158682Factorio is the densest game ever made.Literally getting a degree in anything but actual engineering is less dense and more relaxing
"The Treasure game history is a rich tapestry. But, since we're all gonna die, there's one more secret I feel I have to share with you: I did not care for Radiant Silvergun.""What?""Did not care for Radiant Silvergun.""How can you even say that, Anon?""Didn't like it.""Anon, it's like the perfect game!""This is what everyone always said. Whenever they say...""Hiroshi Iuchi, Hitoshi Sakimoto, I mean, you never see, Studio Gonzo!""Fine. Fine. Fine team, did not like the game.""Why not?""Did not... Couldn't get into it.""What didn't you like about it?""It insists upon itself.""What?""It insists upon itself.""What does that even mean?""Because it has a valid point to make, it's insisted!""It takes forever memorizing the scoring route; you spend like six and a half hours on Stage 3... You know, I can't get through, I've never even finished the game. I've never seen the ending.""You've never seen the ending?!""How can you say you don't like it if you haven't even given it a chance?""I agree. It's not really fair.""It's outrageous.""I have tried on three separate occasions to get through it, and I get to Stage 5.""Yeah, it's a great stage. I love that stage.""I have no idea what they're talking about. It's like they're speaking a different lang... You know, that's where I lose interest in it.""You know what, Anon...""They're speaking Japanese!""The language they're speaking is a language of subtlety; something you don't understand.""I love Cotton Boomerang. That is my answer to that statement.""Whatever.""I like that game too."

>>738170612picking up 20 different pieces of trash that you spent 5 minutes walking to each is not unique gameplay content
>>738158682>>738159809I prefer this one
>respectable postersArcade games can easily be learned by anyone and you should 1cc them.>bad postersI HAVE TEN BILLION THEORETICAL CLEARS AND THIS IS THE HARDEST GAME EVER, ONLY ACCESSIBLE TO 0.0000001% OF THE POPULATION
>>738160062There is more gameplay in a 20 minute long arcade game than a 10 hour long action game. Like you play ninja gaiden and so much of the game is just really retarded platforming and sliding block puzzles, and a lot of the combat may as well be meaningless downtime. And since the bosses are also bad, how much of those games is like.... actually mentally stimulating. Like what percentage of ninja gaiden is good engaging gameplay? Like 5%? Might as well have made it 20 minutes long and cut the crap out.
Why are you ban evading?
>>738158682I get there are Gen Alpha and Beta anons now.But if you have ever played a classic arcade game before. Most of them are really shallow and you have to put in like 25 cents every time you died, and most arcade games where made to force you to use continues as frequently as possible.
>>738158682nmp
>>738158682what about plasma?
>>738172292Neither is mashing single button to shoot in autoscroller
>>738172292>>738171207Not even thatTake FC3 for examplesyou have different linear missions explorations sectionsand different outposts with different viable approaches While arcade game is one linear section with one right way to play
>>738174690That's not classic arcade, that's late 80s/90s arcade.Classic arcade didn't HAVE continues. Defender, Pac Man, Robotron, Donkey Kong, Frogger, etc. You got your 3 lives, maybe 1 or 2 extra lives from score, and that was it. You kept going till you ran out, or advanced so far you glitched the game, and tried to score as high as possible. Continuefests like Gauntlet, Double Dragon, TMNT, T2 light gun game, etc came later, along with a shift in focus from score to progression
>>738174945>While arcade game is one linear section with one right way to playUhm, anon? Maybe play more games before you start your blabbering.
>>738175330That's still linear compared to AA with very little gameplay freedom

>>738172971Whoops, forgot the paywalls. Hope you bought the battlepass anon, you might miss out!
Yk sometimes people enjoy low density that's why most movie's aren't one action scene after another
>>738174384That's not me retard bro
>>738175330Why would anyone want this? Something people don't consider is how stupid it is to waste time on content no one will ever see, or optional content that is taking time away from making what should be the greater whole of the experience better. An arcade game should be 20 minutes of the most hyper focused design in any video game. Any deviation from that is just detracting from that. There is no room for something in an arcade game to be boring or bad. Even 10 seconds of something being less than perfect is excruciatingly boring when you're trying to 1cc something, which is why I always suggest 1ccs because it forces you to think about how the game is designed A LOT.
>>738170947Yes.
>>738175831when's the new game 'hog
>>738174738We get it youre trans
>>738175938It's important because arcade games cost money. It's not some masocore crap like IWBTG, they were originally designed where people have to pay up to take a swing at them, so an arcade game that's really hard also has to be really fun.
>>738176040is that why the shmup cabs were always empty and everyone played fighting or racing instead
>>738176081we were all god gamers, everyone just 2-all'd them first try
>>738176081Shmups were THE genre of the 80s and early 90s. With the popularity of consoles and casual normalfag gaming came RPGs. Then we see a shift towards the hardcore otaku audience, where shmups are designed to be played by a small group of people for many years. Ultimately the profit a cab yields stays the same, and it encourages repeat customers.

>>738158682Density of Card Games:>Gas>Poker - only ever waiting on deals, bets, and other nonsense and only play a hand infrequently>Liquid>War - steady, up-tempo card playing, very little downtime where you're not playing cards>Solid>52 Card Pickup - non-stop action, always making moves to end the game, never waiting on another player, can quickly start another session after finishing, player skill is objectively measured through game completion time, additional challenge modes of ordering cards by suit and value

>>738173494But enough about DMC3.
>>738174945>FC3That one was a bloated piece of shit with an empty second island back in 2012. And the absolute state of AAA games got much, much worse since then.
>>738171207>ignore all other content in AAA games but focus on filler areas in between citieslmao, nice cope grandpa
>>738158682>when your score is so high it changes to letters
>>738171207You're dead wrong. The dungeons are necessary diversions you can delve into when you start to get sick of the monotony of the open world and is craving a more structured experience. Without the dungeons functioning as palette cleansers you would get fatigued very quick,Builds and balance are good for role playing. I have no idea what your complaint is here. Respecing is a bit controversial, but they actually compliment role playing since the game is absolutely massive so punishing too harshly for wrong stat allocations seems inappropriate plus it addresses one of the complaints people by encouraging you to change your build so that you can use weapons and spells you didn't have the stats for.It is implied that what you do in Elden Ring is meaningful most of the time. That's what's so special about Elden Ring despite its gargantuan size, it feels handcrafted. There are shitty radiant quests or procedurally generated crap that is spit out by a computer.
