Will the grimdark menace ever end?
>>741156262Art imitates life...
>>741156262Are you complaining about the existence of grimdark and its popularity, or that there isn't any high fantasy like on the right? Because there's plenty of games that are more bright and typical fantasy.
>>741156262If you want happy fantasy worlds with swords and sorcery, play Dragon Quest and better yet just stop playing western games in general since they're all depressing grimslop with leftist politics inserted
>>741156680I don't want to play weebshit
40k prints money, corporations want that money. How is this difficult for you to comprehend?
>>741156680dragon quest sucks
>>741156725>>741156835>ask a question>recieve solution>noooo I don't want that!Then suffer like the retarded faggot that you are, western games will literally never be good again
>>741156725>I don't want to play grimdark shit, I want to play fantasy for kids>play fantasy for kids then>waaaaah I don't want to play thateat shit then? retard?
>>741157153>>741157205So mad over a simple "no thanks". Fuck off. Why even suggest that shit? It looks nothing like the right side of OPs image. Blind cunts.
>>741156262>look up game trailers during fake e3>it's all heckin chungus or horror and depression
>>741157797"I don't want to play weebshit" is not a simple "no thanks", you bitch, kill yourself, go ask on resetera worthless little bitch
>>741157205huh? retard? where?
>>741156262Here you go pal.
>>741158142
>>741156262le porn and le gore = le MATURE oui!!
I think BG3 was too flippant and gay, not serious enough really, it feels like the tone of BG1 and 2 where dour and serious matters blended fine with the absurd and whimsical, is just impossible these days
>>741156262Game of Thrones being a mainstream hit has been a disaster for pop culture in general, and anything lighter is MCU-tier overly non-serious, stupid and cynically self-aware
>>741156262I'm looking forward to this high fantasy ludokino in a few days.
>>741156262I feel the same way, but super edgy grimdark slop just sells for some reason.
>>741156262This is why Oblivion is the best TES game
>>741156262Western is grimdark.Weeb is high fantasy.Thread over
>>741159241>not on Switch 1, where I buy my AsanoslopI feel personally attacked by this game's existence.
>>741156262>leftCinematic trailers>rightGay drawings of gay dicksucking faggots.Where are the videogames?
>>741161652no it's just Americans as usual
>>741156262pic right looks like early access survival crafting slop
Im currently paying Majesty 2 and im having whimsical fun
>>741162356Okay grimdark Witcher
>>741156262If you get a reshade for Dragons Dogma 2, it basically is the one on the right
>>741156262>Fantasy means European medieval dungeons dragons elves and castles slopCan we get other cultural fantasies instead?
Oh, I get to post this againGreat game BTW
>>741162604make somealso there really was like 0 european fantasies in gaming for long timeevery single fantasy game is californian fantasy
>>741156262fable 4 actually looks like it might scratch that right side itch. don't @ me. I have only the slightest sliver of hope it will be decent
>>741156262This is a grimdark setting, what you posted is just degenerated jews.
lol, even here Divinity (Kiddinity) and Larian kept getting mocked for being unserious and lighthearted but now suddenly the contrarians are mad that it too is darker.
come home, white man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FstF-blY38https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hm2AWsThpBYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMrOUfwKK_Y
>>741156262I wish we had an actual horror fantasy game, Dark Souls came close. Also i wish we had like actual crpgs but in sci fi form.>>741156725Weeb site faggot
>>741156725I don't even like weeb stuff but I'll take it over niggerfaggot westslop any day.
>>741156680>>741157153>>741157205>>741162509I feel like you didn't really even look at the images on the right past seeing they are colorful compared to the games on the leftThe right has a certain whimsical jovial mood that's been considered lame for a long time, anime fantasy is sleek and appealing and trendy, whereas classic European fantasy is rustic, domestic, pastoral, it has stuff like old ladies baking pies, kids playing in the mud, heroes that are old men who have old-fashioned facial hair and hairstyles, brightly colored decorative clothes and banners, wacky trolls and goblins that can be menaces but also reasoned with etcI like anime fantasy but the vast majority of it is about spiky haired cool youths going after crystals and using what's basically sci-fi technology just styled to look fantasy, the worlds often feel like they exist to house the youth's adventures rather than being an idyllic European countryside with some emerging fantasy elements which naturally create plot friction, and I think intentionally trying to look or be cool in any way immediately crashes that merry mood
>>741156262Go back to playing Mario and Hello Kitty games, faggot.
>>741156725tranimutts seething lmao
>>741156262I blame Harry Potter and Game of Thrones for making people think that fantasy either has to be sugarcoated slop for kids or super ultra realistic grim dark. Both lighthearted kid's fantasy and gritty adult stuff have their place, but so does everything between.
>>741156262I blame From Software.
>>741158247>reddit writing
>>741163618>classic European fantasy is rustic, domestic, pastoral, it has stuff like old ladies baking pies, kids playing in the mud, heroes that are old men who have old-fashioned facial hair and hairstyles, brightly colored decorative clothes and banners, wacky trolls and goblins that can be menaces but also reasoned with etcHomie that is literally Dragon Quest
Left is what happens when you only know how to color something through photoshop filters. Right is what you get when you actually know how to recognize and mix colors.
>>741156262Horror and whimsical are best together
Which game most closely captures Fellowship of the Ring?
>>741166687The Lord of the Rings™: The Fellowship of the Ring™ (video game) for the PlayStation™ 2 (2002)
>>741166687War in the North, really good AA game.
>>741163618>anime fantasy is sleek and appealing and trendy, whereas classic European fantasy is rustic, domestic, pastoral>I like anime fantasy but the vast majority of it is about spiky haired cool youths going after crystals and using what's basically sci-fi technology just styled to look fantasyDQ is very traditional fantasy aside of toriyama's cartoony artstyleI would say give one of the 2d HD games, 8 or 11 a try, they are all good entry points
>>741156262Dragon's Dogma is 100% like the right, not the left.
>>741162356Its pretty funny when you post that image, because this is literally from a Polish game. (see: non American)I wish Europoors would really do even a cursory Google search before being retarded.
>>741156262Blame kekserker and then all the retards imitating dark souls
>>741156262Will the millennial menace ever end?
>>741156262christcucks eat this shit up. They love pop media "hell". Not the biblical hell that shit is too boring
>>741167605The current burger weredickgo is shaped in the form of a poolish folklore cryptid because burgers can't be creative about their cryptids.>And there I saw it! It was a man! But not like any other men. He had a (insert random animal here)head!Dogman, deerman, goatman, mothman, bigfoot, etc. the weredickgo is literally just a dude who ate human fkesh and learned to use the skin of the people and animals he kills. Nowhere it says it looks just like a witcher 3 monsters that is based on eastern european folklore
>>741168073
>>741156725I'm not even a weeb but I never really saw the original dragon ball or dragon quest as particularly weeby compared to something like .hack or sword art online I guess
>>741156262When Amerikkka isn't ruled by a fascist nightmare
>>741167793
>>741168626I want commies to fuck off and create their utopia just to see what happens.
>>741167605You say this but I'm pretty sure the skull-headed depiction of Leshen is Witcher original and not from the actual folklore, he's usually just a big leafy man
>>741156262high fantasy has become gay and sterilized like modern d&d. of course it doesn't have to be this way but good luck getting your game made without some of that garbage getting forced in and killing popular interest
>>741168742its already happened, its Cuba, where everyone is poor, stupid and have given up on life, and technology froze in time in the 60s, except for whatever they import.Cuba is literally the best example of communism in history, and its just a shittier version of our crony-capitalist oligarchy operating under a jew-bank debt-currency ponzi scheme.And if you don't understand that sentence, you aren't red pilled and educated enough.
>>741169013That very well may be, but its still a European cryptid depiction.That was my point. It isn't just an American thing. Hell, its not even a western thing. The east has plenty of games and media that depict their own scary cryptids, too.
>>741156262>Dragon's Dogma>GrimdarkRetard.
>>741170339Shhh, let him be a bitter cunt in peace
>>741170339>>741171027Where's the color
>>741171672capcom hates color
>>741163516>Also i wish we had like actual crpgs but in sci fi form.Underrail?
CRPGs are genuinely the worst of the RPGs
I thought the west hated edgy shit, what happened?
>>741173187what happened is your parents raised a retard
>>741172047What happened
>>741156262The latter still exists, they just made it gayer.
>>741171672>Where's the color
>>741173187Doing the same thing to death gets boring for some.
>>741156262Playing lords of the fallen currently and I have to agree. Worlds falling apart and alike is getting tiresome.
>>741175306it didn't sell
>>741156262>I'm an infantile faggot and I wish media was more retarded and cartoonish to pander to me being a retardWhen will this genre of zoomer die off?
>>741164279Strange that you spend your time on an anime site if you hate it so much.
>>741156262What game is on the right of the elden ring image?
>>741156262Known feel, a return to '80s/90s style fantasy in gaming would be welcome>>741156680Too far in the other direction, I can't stomach games which try too hard to be twee and charming
>>741176356Skill issue, look at Nintendo
You boys should play Goblin Sword because it's an objectively amazing Castlevania clone! Just use Eden to emulate it on your Gaming PC.>>741175306The Minish Cap is kino as fuck! It's a perfect 10/10 just like Goblin Sword!
>>741179573I will not play an indie side scroller metroidvania
