Why is video game culture and everything we love dying?
>>
suffer normalfags
>>
It's been happening since people found more fulfillment pissing themselves about the latest game releases over playing old games. It's been 15 years and it hasn't gotten any better.
>>
>>738835695
You all bought Witcher 3 and said it was the greatest thing ever. That’s when good game design became irrelevant in favor of a pretentious morally gray narrative and endless amounts of poorly written and lazily mo-capped dialogue.

Cold War 2 and Corporate Globohomo stranglehold.
US power plants have just announced that they're going to stop supplying electricity to civilians and divert it directly to data centres.
You WILL sit in a cold room lit by candles and fucking like it.

Bobby kotick had a game called call of duty modern warfare created that broke reality so hard everyone from your grandma to the infant who didn't even learn to walk yet suddenly decide to stand up and say, "Yes, I too am a gamer". The rest was just reinforced through the internet dominating the entire world.
>>
gamergate showed them how video games can unite games together. they have to shut everything down / control everything before the antiestablishment get out of hands
>>
>>738835948
part of that was because Game of Thrones set the shockingly violent and disturbing trend that so much fantasy would follow over the next decade
But yeah I remember trying W3 8 years after release and thought, 'this is it?' only felt better than fallout 3 by a few degrees. and for combat I'd rather play DMC.
>>
games are not made by people who love the medium

everything is decided by soulless boardroom psychos and focus tested to appeal to the dumbest cattle
>>
>>738835695
Lack of gatekeeping within the dev companies themselves. Normies infiltrated the developers because they saw dollar signs and attempted to turn gaming into what they already knew. What we have left is the churning out of products with little actual innovation. When was the last time you played a game that actually felt new?
>>
>>738835695
Jack Thompson used the term "murder simulator" back in 2000, when graphical levels were pathetic compared to today, and only a few could afford fast enough internet to join the network-warring wizards before the word 'normie' even existed. Now we have 2 decades of children grown into war-gaming man-children, who have learned to communicate in an unrestricted, zero-repercussion, psychologically filthy environment. They now run the show, the trump ball-licking poverty-ridden 70% of America. The publishers make games for them.

>>738835695
It's not dying.
You see, video games back in the day, were made by people who really loved video games. So much so, that they started making them.
After some time, the game industry grew to such a great level, that it has toppled almost every entertainment industry. What this means, is that there is a great amount of money to be made in creating and selling video games.
Unfortunately, this attracts the worst kind of people. People with no passion, people who just want a paycheck and go home to their family, people that don't care about video games, and just want a big ol' piece of the pie for themselves. Do not hate them, it's only human nature to get as much as they can for as little work as possible.
Fortunately for us, these people do not last. They start producing garbage to make a quick buck, and fortunately for us again, most people are aware of something being garbage, and so they stop buying it.
This is what is happening. The garbage is being burned, the parasites and passionless people are being driven out, and after some time, only the truly talented passionate people will be left, and games will be good once again. They learned a lot from the last time this happened, so the death of the parasites is slow, but it will only be a matter of time now.

>video game culture
Video games were never a culture, they were always a hobby, normalfag. Video games are simply returning to being just a hobby. All you're seeing is PlayStation and Xbox dying and Swith and Steam currently taking over, well, took over. Video games will live on as a niche hobby pushed by Valve, Nintendo, and indies.
>>
>>738837223
And indies are taking their place, so it never died, it's just simply returning to its roots, its beginnings.

Mainstream only talks about souls-like and faux-retro 2D games.

4chan has no taste, only into retro games and meta debates.

No one talks about games that are actually oustanding like Psychonauts 2.

Not everyone though. I will not be happy til every boomer and gen x is dead.

>>738837301
Broken and frustration =/= not loving games, everyone was building their own engines and that of course takes a bonkers amount of work and quality control. The absolute luxury devs have these days by using the plethora of free engines available today cannot be overstated. The SOUL games had was partially BECAUSE of the frustration, but also discovery and personal growth of the devs. They pioneered because they tried the hardest.

SO wait, I just gotta try hard?
Is that why I enjoy shitty but somehow soulful works of art?

Look at the last three games + top three tags thread and you will understand what the problem is.

Because gaming turned generations of men into flaccid, ineffective cucks that goon to BBC porn.

Oh, I got news for you... it's not women, or normalfags, it's a certain group of people known for ruining everything and anything they gaze upon.
>>
>>738838080
Nope, they were creating they own engine because they could not produce slop by tools. Im playing games from NES(as we called them Pegasus in our country) and every platform every decade of gaming had shitty slop like pikachu version of mario

It's not. It's getting a renewal now, I have 30+ games on my wishlist.
>Why is everything we love dying?
Define "everything we love", since I seem to live in alternate reality from you where life is on the incline for most people, but apparently it's near the end of the world for you.
>>
>>738835695
What exactly do you mean by "dying"?
I'm playing a ton of great games, both old and new. Of course if you only limit yourself to AAA then yeah, nowadays most of 'em are garbage, but there are still a lot of of gems if look around.

Political injection by companies and corporations due to younger generations shunning traditional media outlets, every facet of entertainment that reached them, especially men, had to be influenced. It's actually written into legislation now.
>A 501(c)(4) organization is a tax-exempt "social welfare" nonprofit under IRS code, designed for promoting common good rather than just charity. Unlike 501(c)(3)s, these groups can engage in unlimited lobbying and political activity, though donations are not tax-deductible.
They were given unchecked lobbying power.

Unironic psychopaths were given a system where there is global trade and being psychopath and using others for gain without limits pays off which is why they infiltrate every part of the society and try to get as much money out of it without caring if they destroy it in the process. (it's mostly jews)

>>738838727
jews, they have a prerogative to destroy and demoralize because they see you and everyone else as cattle. So they slowly slopify and commodify everything until there is nothing.

It used to be "SJW" a decade ago though.

It's not really, it's just oversaturated and you need to wade through more slop to find the good stuff.
