What are your thoughts on the overwhelming majority of gamers being "Ball and Gun" gamers? Also Roblox, Minecraft, Fortnite, and other normie games?
They are more based than us
"Ball and gun" gamers are retarded. The real scourge is people who only play cinematic over-the-shoulder games.
more of a sword and spell gamer myself
>>744698897snoys are notorious for having garbage taste
>>744698897Fucking cattle.
>>744698897Snoyggers aren't human, that's it. Let them eat slop
>>744698897https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGHIn1cryaU
You have to understand that the people who play those games dont play any other games so they only buy like 2 games a year so its not a bid deal to them to buy the 100 bucks edition of games or whatever.
>>744698991>The real scourge is people who only play cinematic over-the-shoulder games.Hey thats me. The only games I played this year were Resident Evil 9 and Pragmata. All I played last year was Expedition33. All I played in 2024 was Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Silent Hill 2 Remake. All I played in 2023 was RE4 Remake, Hogwarts Legacy, Jedi Survivor, Baldurs Gate 3 and Alan Wake 2.
>>744698897Nothing anybody can do about. Best hope is that the games and hardware get far too expensive to spend on and that the economy is so shit that even these goylems will activate the 3 braincells in their head to actually spend their money on living necessities instead.
>>744699378>All AAA slop gamesOh fuck no
>>744698991>The real scourge is people who only play cinematic over-the-shoulder games.And yet none of those games are on the list in OP image.
>>744698897What the fuck other games are there besides Ball and Gun?
>>744698897>There are niggas right now who own a PS5 to play nba2k, FIFA and nothing else >The AAA market caters to them despite not buying any other videogame ever >Videogame industry collapse ensuing
who gives a fuck, at least they have actual gameplay unlike gachachink shit
>>744698897I don't really care one way or the other. I played a wide variety of games. But I can say when I was in high school I fell into the ball n gun gamer trend, with an odd game sprinkled in here and there like a open world game, RPG, or racer. Now I'm right back into playing a wide variety of games again and have been for probably a decade+ now. I still play sports games but I will say that far and away sports gaming communities have literally the most brain dead, retarded, most selfish fucking community in gaming and it's not even close. Playing NBA 2K, NHL, FIFA will genuinely make you hate humanity.
>>744698897I'm fine with people who play games for the gameplay. If you look at those games and "eww, where are my walk and talk segments?!" then you're the issue.
Why do publishers even bother making other video games at all when they might as well just only make call of duty and sports games and just 100% focus on them as they seem to make all the money
>>744698897Gun and ball gamers have sex, you don't.

>>744698897black ahh games
>>744698897they've been cancer ever since gen 7. i knew shit was doing down the toilet when every controller started having those stupid ass gun trigger shoulder buttons.
>>744698897Normies are braindead, especially blacks. COD and the sports games are literally the only games they ever buy per year so they don't care how much it costs. They never buy or play anything else and don't consider how these trash going up in price fucks the rest of us over.
>>744705867We know. What are your thoughts on it?
>>744698897you can play all of those games for free btw. not even hard to set up. just need a computer and a usb controller. all youd be paying for is convenience and the ability to play it online
>>744698897NOOOOO WHY ISNT ANYONE PLAYING NICHE JAP COOMER GATCHA VISUAL NOVEL DATING GAMES AHHHH THE INDUSTRY IS COLLAPSING F...FUCKING NORMAFAGS SLOPPPPPPP SHEEP NORMIES TRANNIES WOKE ...uh YWNBAW
Sports games have decent, pure gameplay.
>>744700028Check out this fucking Goyim.
>>744705794It downloads the game early so you can play it the instant the clock flips over
nothing wrong when it's all gameplay like fighting games
>>744698897>Normie games i.e. Minecraft, Fortnite, RobloxDon't have much of a problem with them other than the fact they give pretext for governments to further regulate gaming to "protect the kids". Other than that, they're mostly good value for kids since some of them are F2P and don't require a PSN/XBL sub or whatever and most of them were organically successful like Minecraft. They're bad for the industry but definitely the least bad. >Call of Duty, annual Ubislop releases, live service games, etcThey occupy a middle ground where I loathe the idea that these games sell millions every year but I understand that the audience are mostly aging millennials who have been playing them since the 2000s and judging by recent industry data/sales, the spell has mostly been broken for them aside from nostalgia cash grabs like the BO1/2 port and the Black Flag remake. >sports games Now this is where I REALLY have a problem because ALL of the "people" who play these games are third-worlders and the most obnoxious niggers you will ever meet. CoD and Ubislop at least attempt to make slight alterations to their formula every year, EA pumps out these cookie-cutter games with the most gorilla-looking nigger you've ever seen on the cover, with the only change being the roster of players at the best of times, and laughs all the way to the bank. It's incredibly jewish.>Grand Theft AutoHas-been series that occupies its own unique category of junk food media: overrated open-world cinematic slop hyped up by previous successes made by a studio that hasn't made a game for 10 years. Interestingly, the same "people" who buy Cockstar games are the same ones who buy the other slop mentioned before. Not really a surprise, but it's fitting that the retards who fellate C* are a mix of aging out-of-touch millennials, pajeets, spics, niggers, and kids who just don't know any better. Recently this garbage has topped my shitlist because it has given pretext for Sony to discontinue discs.
I mean these games never really made sense to me how they became popular without a mixture of motion controls like the Wii or arcade light guns or VR.It cannot possibly be fun to jerk your controller off to throw a ball into a hoop.I dunno man, whatever keeps normies out of the games I like, I don't really care about other gamers. In fact I hate most of them, as well as most video games and game devs.
>>744698973I actually agree. All the COD/Madden players actually play a lot of video games.
>>744698897Everyone except the gun and ball gamer is being driven off playstation.
I've accepted the fact that multiplayer gamers and singleplayer gamers are completely separate demographics whose only commonality is using the same devices and whose only overlap is incidental a long time ago.Multiplayer fags can have their games. I can have my games. It's fine. I just don't want to go back to the late 00's where every single player game needed to waste half of its budget on a tacked on multiplayer mode, even when it was an established single player series. I consider GTA a casualty of that trend.
they are modern gaming's audience. i have resigned myself to the fact that i'm an old fart with niche tastes, can't help it

>>744698897They are just the most normal of normalfags. They outnumber specialized gamers like 100 or more to 1.
>>744698897Niggers and normies can't stand 2 seconds without being stimulated. Jingle keys games are the only one they can comprehend.
Same thing I think about all gacha, roll-slop, gay mascot jumpers, or RE/SH dicksucking:Whatever, I do not have to buy that shit
>>744698897Its called consolidation.
>>744717096But soccerslop and apehoop games are literally the genre most played by browns
>>744698897I thought black people are a minority in this hobby? Why are their sales dominating the charts?
A rude awakening isn't it? To realise your opinion about games is the tiny minority and nobody will ever listen to you or take you seriously
If you're actually hating on people who play 2K and CoD, you have no bitches, an underbite, and a hunching problem. Games are a hobby inbetween the gym and a relationship.Nothing but incels in this thread lmao.
Ball and gun gamers are a fucking epidemic.
>>744698897Resident Evil turned into Ball n Gun
>>744698897>all n Gun Epidemic
It’s frustrating, isn’t it? Idk about NBA but FC2027 is effectively the same game as FIFA2008. Zero changes to gameplay yet best seller every year. The kikes are right about one thing; goyim do exist, they have no souls and when they die they will just be annihilated

>>744721214Shiet negro you rightThe biggest online games for pc excluding mmos were shit like wolfenstein enemy territory, the epitome of a gun game
>>744698991These are fags making pictures like OP. For some reason le third person cinematic experience connoisseurs believe they are super super hardcore gamers while FIFA and CoD are slop. New God of War with foid main character is super hype despite looking like GoW 2018 but with jump and shitty ass magnetic air juggles so 90% of game design wise is same as 9 years old title this is exquisite GAMER moment. Fucking yearly CoD have more gameplay design changes and reworks than their favourite over the shoulder shit but they sniff their own farts.

>>744721542Post body with timestamp.
>>744698897Ball and gun gamers aren't much different to most modern mainstream gamers. They value familiarity over new experiences and participating in a social community for whatever is hot right now is as important as the game itself. People that seek out the latest Souls games aren't that different, biggest difference is they'll replay older games within the franchise more.
>>744721542>I play vidya exclusively while running on a treadmillYeah that's the most bullshit excuse ever. No one can play vidya during a run unless you are like at 1 so basically useless or you change a joystick every week.Nice try porky.
>>744698897gun or ball
>>744721846>And then you have the GOAT DOOMAnd like 50 games before that but why not.
>>744698897Don't Playstation players constantly mock PC gaming ecosystems like Steam for having early access survival crafting trash cluttering the store? or the fact that it doesn't have a "quality control" yet it's literally just a sports machine on theirs. That being said i never understood this ball and gun terminology until this post so that's some insight for me.

>>744722072just a zoomer-tard termIt just mass market appeal, nothing more or less. It is no different audience than the one gave say BG3 or E33 a moonshot once the mediahype stuck.
>>744722845>we should be working and having sex and getting married?how is that productive?
>>744698897I try not to think about them at all, and prior to Sony screaming from the mountaintops "We ONLY want your business" I was doing a good job of that.
>>744722845No shlomo.
>>744698897Smug Sword and Magic gamers are worse. At least Gun and Ball niggas stay in their own lane.
Feels like most of the thread is missing the point. The "Ball and Gun Gamer" is not critique against people enjoying any specific genre of games. It's about people refusing to participate in any games outside of their comfort zone, and it's called "ball and gun" because those top the charts. It's the equivalent of someone who thinks they love tabletop RPGS but has only ever played Dungeons and Dragons. It's someone who calls themselves a weeb but has only watched Dragon Ball and One Piece. It's cultural tourism first and foremost and the disingenuity of people who call themselves divers because they stepped into a puddle.
>>744726690It’s just the average normalfag “gamer” who is a dumb goyim plane and simple with no real tastes or opinions or inner light.These are the people who spend all their money on sports betting and car loans.It’s not even that they play multiplayer games, or that they play fps and sports games, but they only play the same reheated trash that comes out every few months with barely any changes.Kids who play roblox or minecraft at least are interacting with a load of different stuff and playing all sorts of game modes.And many other multiplayer games have far more developed and varied online scenes.
>>744698897over the shoulder story players are bigger cancer

>>744727851At least six more weeks. Football doesn't really start until the beginning of september.
>>744727708Exactly. The issue with thos people is how they partake in the bare minimum of the medium while only dipping their toes in it, focusing on that rehashed shit they enjoy and considering themselves actual gamers. Yet half the tread is dumbasses going all: NO U UR GENRE IS BIGGERER CANCERER THAN MINE ONEONEONE on whoever's genre is the least shit when that's not the point at all. It doesn't matter what genre is your "ball and gun", what matters is that you ONLY interact with your "ball and gun."And the same people complain that gaming has nothing new to offer. Go fucking figure.

>>744698991Over the shoulder shooters and sword-and-stare games, yeah. Unironically did more damage to gaming than gun and ball, at least those are games.
There's a reason why physical is dead. The vast, vast majority of "gamers" are like this. They are braindead normietards that will happily pay $20+ more for a game to play it a few days early and get some shitty cosmetics that don't matter at all. Millions of people will do that and the companies don't care about the people that won't anymore, they care about making as much money as possible on release to recoup the cost of development and maximize their profits, and they have realized that the people that boycott and protest these anti-consumer practices don't matter anymore. People like me are a tiny fraction of the market that don't need to be appealed to in any way, they can ignore you and still make millions because it doesn't matter anymore. Things are only going to get worse. The backlash to AI in games that won't matter either, because much like everything else the braindead normiecore audience won't give one single fuck if the entire game they play is AI generated, the backlash is the minority and will lose out again as the hobby has grown larger and larger the vast majority of users are just the kind of people that are either too dumb or just don't give a fuck about being exploited in general. tl;dr - it's fucking over.
>>744706273>a 11 year old game sells more copies in a month than the kind of games I play sell in their lifetime
People play cod and sports games because they are fun games to playIt’s embarrassing to be seething about this

>>744730535>People play cod and sports games because they are fun games to playAnd more often, they play it with their friends. Especially the sports games.
>>744728138It was days after the physical cut-off announcement too. The same people saying they would boycot digital Sony games purchased a digital rerelease 4 days later.
>>744698897it is what it is. I get my fix from genshin and other gachas and play old games instead of giving western tranny devs my money.
I mean it's been obvious for awhile now that these normie games have been 90% of the driving force behind the game industry for awhile now. If you think shit like your average Capcom or other single player story game is doing much in this industry you've got to be one naive motherfucker.The unfortunate thing is gaming is more of a bubble than anything. People like to throw that around with AI when it comes to how dire gaming pricing is getting, but really it's a product of the industry in general inflating due to the growth in popularity in these games. Everything else is scaling up to match the popularity of these games, but once the popularity dies everything else that scaled up will crash down with it.
I don’t care about them at all. Why would I? They are a different audience, always have been, always will be.
>>744698897That list is obviously manipulated

>>744728637Physical was never going to survive when the biggest platforms for games were all digital. All mobile is digital. Steam is bigger than the rest of the console market and its all digital. There are too many games made digitally now. Nintendo is the only one where physical has a meaningful presence. Its was only going to die. The actual fight should be digital ownership vs the license bullshit.
