vidya will never heal and is only getting worse
why would vidya need to healits never been better than it is now
bideo james have never been better than they are today thanks to mods and indiest. -93 zillennial
yeah and? I bet my left balls that you dont even have good PC to play it
>>740160431modded minecraft will heal your soul
>>740160431We've already had our fair share of good vidya 20 years ago, I don't care if it heals, I'll just play the same shit forever and ever.
>>740160669true
There are more than enough good games for anyone to play in a single lifetime available for free right now, there’s never been a better time to enjoy video games.
>>740160593>>740160557True and basedKys out of this hobby if you can't find anything to play in current year
>>740160431How does it feel, not being the target audience anymore?
>>740161019If I'm quite frank? Shitty.
>>740160431Im looking forward to Kenshi 2 and that Total War 40k game, and the hope that soon DD2 DLC will be announced. I dont look at the broad hobby with optimism anymore, just specific games, I have other hobbies now.
>>740161019Taking into consideration what they think the target audience is in current year? I think I’m okay.
>>740161086Sure but can I still be Garth?
>>740160431>>740161019Every time /v/ starts doomposting about the entire industry, I always get reminded that /v/ is actually just talking about AAA shit because the average anon on this board is casual as fuck and doesn't play anything aside from the next big marketed game with a bajillion dollar budget.>wtf I can't believe that mainstream titles are targeting the current mainstream audince and not what was in the mainstream back in 2001Like yeah, no shit.
>>740161019Vindicated. These corpo shits have been chasing a unicorn for a decade yet have done nothing but trip and fall into horseshit. Meanwhile I'm still finding and playing games that I like.
>>740161280If you kiss me
>>740161328You say that like the mainstream audience wouldn't buy shit if it was good. They'll buy anything, clearly. So they should make shit that gamers actually want.
>>740161747The average /v/ IQ be like>no one wants these games>PlayStation reports it sold 11 million units>yeah but that doesn't countI don't even like these games but they demonstrably have an audience. Although the straw that broke the camel's back is the $70 MSRP, recession, and increasingly safe sequels and remakes.You don't understand these games are made for somewhat affluent boomers that don't have time to learn a game's systems and treat it more like Netflix. Someone here called it "dad-core"
>>740161328Pretty much. If you're not a child and you're still keeping tabs on the AAA industry instead of developing your own taste and exploring genres/older games, then you're either a casual gamer or a self-flagellating retard.Like the people who lament the sloppification of capeshit and yet still go to see the newest Marvel movies.>>740161747It takes effort and vision to make good games.Nobody with vision is calling the shots anymore because there's too much money moving in the AAA industry. It's not just core teams of 30-50 guys putting shit together, it's massive corporate machines with hundreds of individual cogs trying to work in sync.The end result is that anything with the multi-million dollar budgets gets filtered through consultancy teams and boardroom meetings, and becomes cynically processed into milquetoast slop intended to generate the highest returns by reaching the broadest audiences possible.This is one of the reasons why Kojima left Konami. No fucking way any big, established company would've given Death Stranding the green light without heavy changes (like more combat focus or something).
>>740160431Just stick to old games. You could only play games from 1990-1999 and never run out of titles.It's not like you're missing out by ignoring new games. If you want to discuss games with somebody, start a game club with your friends and work through backlog/classics. Nobody is having deep conversations about new games on /v/ or anywhere else online. >>740162635>No fucking way any big, established company would've given Death Stranding the green light without heavy changes (like more combat focus or something).You almost had a good point but you picked a fucking terrible example, because Death Stranding was literally given the green light by Sony who then demanded it had more combat and vehicle sections because they didn't think normies would play a game about walking.
>>740160557Tell em how it is king
>>740160431Vidya needed a crash several years ago (a crash like the 70's)
>>740160431There are decades of older titles to go through. Take the unc-pill and start making a list.I'm currently playing through the Dude Sex games in backward sequence and it's insane how each previous iteration has more and more soul than the newer releases (We won't talk about picrel though)
Video games have been dead for the past two generations. Zoomers (like ITT) cope by saying video games have never been better than now. Fucking lmao. We're never getting a generation like the PS2 ever again.
>>740163495I've talked to multiple developers who worked in game development during the 70's/80's. They all have said the layoffs we are expericing currently are worse than anything that happened in the 80's. The crash is here, people are just coping. Trying to pretend like it hasn't happened, it isn't happening or it can't happen. They are coping so hard.
>>740164041Projecting AAAnigger lil zoomie, heh
>refuses to buy games>acts shocked when devs no longer cater to youYou played yourself, piratenigger.
There are going to be people making games for the rest of human historyYou have to be really shortsighted to think we are living in some kind of vidya endtimes
>>74016132899% of indie games are trash too.
>>740164041>unfulfilled unc once again uses when someone’s parents fucked as some metric because they have nothing else of value to call their own achievements Listen, I don’t actually care about your generational faggotry because it says more about you than whatever point you wanted to make, but I can literally turn on my computer and play all of those games in a few minutes. Hell, it’s not like you made any of them either lmao.
>>740164285Devs stopped catering to us before you were born boss.
>>740164285It's more like:>(((Devs))) stop catering to me and mes>I and we refuse to buy (((their))) games
>>740164464Sure, you can boot up these old games and play them but they aren't getting made anymore. You know what else you can do? Neck yourself.
>>740160593>93>zillenialUnc lowkenuinely thinks he's part of the gng skull wilted roset. '95 true zillenial
>>740164464Stop typing like Young Sheldon christ man this whole board is dripping wtih ONIONS
>>740164068Yeah we've had literally dozens of studios close doors in the past couple years, but the big players aside from nintendo can subsidize their vidya losses with other divisions effectively making them too big to failI mean microsoft dropped billions on accquiring studios none of which have turned a profit yet, but are still going pretty strong even woth layoffs
Yk you can just play good games?
>>740160593>t. -93 zillennialAnon we are neither millennial or zillenial, just something in between. Accept that we will never be respected in either camp.
>hardware moving to subscription cloud-based services>everything is more expensive in general>increasing reliance on technologies like dlss>hardware makers don't care about low-end parts anymore>younger generations just accept worsening conditions because they never got to experience the good times
>>740160431the games are better than ever but theres too fucking many too fast all the time.
vidya only sucks if you're the type of subhuman trash that only plays whatever AAA game just came out while waiting for the next one you've been told to buy. look for good stuff and you'll find it, ignore the bad stuff or come on here and mock it for fun
>>740165683It feels like new games are forgotten so quickly now.Not sure if that was always the case though.
>>740160557what can be done about rampant corporate shilliing on 4chan?
>>740164632>but they aren't getting made anymoreOh darn I guess I’ll just have to play the ones that already exist.>>740164735I’m sure this means something to somebody somewhere.
>>740164041we never knew how good we had it until its gone
>>740160431it ok, have old vidya.
>>740160431Make your own games, anon. None of those faggots will be able to do anything. Then share.We'll rebuild vidya like it was from the start and ruthlessly never let shit repeat.
>>740166073What's gone? You can still play all those games
>>740164041>calling others zoomers while being nostalgic about the 6th gen of consolesgrim
>>740161019I'm more confused that the new target audience doesn't really exist
This shitpost that "you're not the target audience anymore" is bullshit. These games are designed for browbeaten millennial 30+ year olds.I have better things to do than play these shitty games, but they're very clearly directed at people like me.
>>740166215>average /v/fag's interpretation of this is further investment in American politicslol lmao evenIf your intent is to make a genuinely good game there's no reason to drag /v/ into the picture
>>740167257>/v/ is one personHow do you call this hallucination?
>>740160431try playing something other than triple A slop, oh wait you can't because you're a trend-chasing retard and your FOMO won't let you. kill yourself doomposting faggot.
it's hilarious that there's clearly only one guy ITT samefagging and seething because he has the same writing style in every post
>>740167398My point is don't use "we" to refer to /v/, where the predominant board culture is more political than anything.
>>740160431I'm having a BLAST
>>740160431vidayyo gah'meemen died dead 30 years aog and replaced by products (which i'm still not buyoing)
>>740167745Playing games in Steam Next Fest is illegal acshually.
>>740161328Indie gaming nowadays is just the shovelware of back then: 95% utter derivative garbage, and the rest being perfectly serviceable fun games without the budget to realize their potential with the odd gem here and there.
>>740160431me enjoying vidya because im not jaded
>>740160431Every single person who says this only plays heavily advertised AAA games and gets what they deserve.
