Most of /v/ is now in their early 30s and maybe even mid to late 30s.Most of you have stated gaming has been on a decline for 10 or more years.So what has even kept you guys around in this medium if you genuinely held this opinion for half your lives?
Dude just quit it everyone is a shartynigger nowadays it's over
porn
>>746055683The only gaming on decline is American game development. Some European devs are still release decent games and the Japanese are always releasing new interesting games.The only people who think gaming is declining play normalfag slop.
>>746055683Reminder the tsugaru strait is international waters and Japan has no rights to it, which allows for Chinese & Russian ships and submarines to pass through whenever they want. And do you see those islands on the right? They belong to Russia, no matter how much Japan seethes. Putin just visited them recently and the Japanese PM said it hurt the Japanese peoples feelings.
>>746055683>So what has even kept you guys around in this medium if you genuinely held this opinion for half your lives?I'm always going back and playing games from the 80s 90s and 00s. There's a wealth of titles that I never touched as a kid or as a teenager so I've got tons of fucking games to keep me entertained for years. 36 btw.
>>746055683SINNOH
>>746055683Romhacks, Mods and Doom WADs
>>746055683I am still enjoying the good games. I also really like complaining about stuff and correcting wrong opinions on here.
>>74605568336.The games I like still exist. Think of it like this anon, if you liked music and you think new artists aren't as good as old artists would you stop listening to music entirely?
>>746055683>Most of you have stated gaming has been on a decline for 16 or more
>>746055683Hokkaido is the size of South Korea
>>746055683what does mt. yotei have to do with your post?
>>746055683Cool indie games. You call them derivative but I enjoy them.
I turned 18 in 2010. It's never been clear to me if I just grew out of gaming upon becoming an adult or because the average game quality seemed to nosedive beyond that year.I just got busy with life and didn't care for console gaming, I still played games as a timekiller but it was all PC games like GSGs (CK2, EU4), MOBAs or the flavour of the month roguelite that I could play passively.When I want to play games, I still gravitate towards older games. I have bought new consoles just to end up playing ports.FF7 Rebirth was cool though, reignited some spark. It felt like a very 00s game experience, a big "full" game that dominated my life for a bit. I haven't been able to sink into a game like that for decades
>>746055903The Japanese are such fucking losers. They are like the British of the Asians. Complete and total has-beens.
>>746056312>catposter sees big red shiny circle on image>immediately drawn to it Like clockwerk
Is it true that Japanese don't consider people from Hokkaido to be 'true' Japanese?I'm not referring to the Ainu, I mean like actual nihonjin born in Hokkaido supposedly get treated like foreigners when they go down to the mainland.
>>746056475what do they do to the ainu?
>>746055903the whole world belongs to the Japanese people
>>746055683There's some decent games left. I feel like the internet has made games a lot less fun than they used to be. Instead of competing against an npc on a near perfect line, you have to compete against statisticians who turn everything onto an equation and played the same track or level or course 5000 times, and games are made with far less robust offline single-player content to cater to online subscription sales and loot boxes.
>>746055683I've pretty much only been playing old and retro games for the past 10 years
Dumb seething samefagging chink
>>746056475Most Japanese are Tokyo supremacists, and even then discriminate against different parts of Tokyo. Hokkaido is a snowy place full of farmers to them that they might go skiing in for a school trip.
>>746056589>Japanese peopleWell I wouldn't exactly call them people
>>746056638Can you prove it? Video games arent an art form, theyre just products. Every game under the sun has been made for the autist that loves the feel of minmaxing. Aside from some rare artsty shit like Journey.
>>746055683>Most of you have stated gaming has been on a decline for 10 or more years.>So what has even kept you guys around in this medium if you genuinely held this opinion for half your lives?The entire world has been on a decline for 10 or more years. We are heading for the abyss and the only thing that lets me pretend for a moment that things are still normal is old media like games.
>>746056589The feelings of the Japanese people have been hurt by president Vladimir Putin's visit to those islands
>>746056306Korea mog JapanA KPop music festival will be taking place on Dokdo in the coming months btw
>>746056765Prove what? My opinion?
>>746055683I pretty much only play older games with the occasional new one every few years. I had a lot of fun with The Witcher 3 but that was a fucking decade ago fuck me. DD2 was also a fun experience even if the game was insanely unfinished.I think back to being a kid in the 90's and early 00's and how I could look at a magazine or walk through a store and see a dozen games that looked fun, now I look at new releases and can go years without seeing anything even remotely interesting. Today it's all heavily overproduced mega corporatized AAA games or complete dogshit """""indie""""" games, the middle fell out of the industry and with it all talent and fun.
>>746055683I just play what I'm interested in. Simple as that. The stuff I'm not interested in, I leave it at that. No more, no less.
>>746055683Mods for old games like Quake and Morrowind are still excellent.The occasional good indie.The exceptionally rare good AA release.These have kept me playing vidya for the last few years even when everything else has gone to shit.
>>746055683Even if it's GLOBALLY not as good, I still think there's good games being made and releasing. and they always be.I will play video game forever. It still bring me many joy.
>>746055683This is unironically the best time to play videogames. The only way it is not is if and only if you play AAA like you are goycattle. And who cares about goycattle anyways? I can play almost every videogame ever made in the last 40+ years for FREE, only with an Internet connection and decent hardware.If you think that is bad honestly I don't know what more could you possibly want.
>>746057313Yeah, the quality of emulation in the current era and ease of finding whatever content you want is something I dreamed about 20 years ago. Who cares that new games suck, the apex of video games was in the past anyway.
>>746056475They are just stereotyped as being hicks since there is a lot of farm land up there. If a character is meant to be a country bumpkin they will either speak with a Hokkaido dialect or a Kansai one depending on the flavor of hick they are meant to be.
>>746056475I have lived in Japan for ten years, speak Japanese and work at a company at which I am the only non-Japanese and all staff speak only Japanese.Now, with the preamble out of the way-No, it's not true in any way. 100% false.And even if people in the mainland were for some reason intent on discriminating against non-mainlanders, they wouldn't be able to tell someone was from Hokkaido.In English, different accents can be very strong, some dialects like thick Scottish may even be hard to comprehend for other native speakers.It is a folly to think this maps to Japan. I've been up and down the country and always found myself disappointed people sound the same wherever you go.Maybe if you speak to an octogenarian farmer in the back of beyond you might here some interesting pronunciation, but the only thing that marks most people as having come from a certain region is word choice and not accent. Don't drop any regional slang and nobody will know you're not from Tokyo.I have a colleague from Hokkaido, one from Okinawa and one from Osaka, but I'd never have known unless they told me.
>>746057313>for FREEbut you may burn in hell
>>746057663For what?
>>746057748Defying YHWH's commandments.
>>746057663We all will. Don't worry.
>>746057882As one famous Jew once said: "let the goyim deal in the real world".
>>746055683Gaming is great as long as you aren't fixed on only 1 or 2 genres or only play AAA games
>>746055683>Most of /v/ is now in their early 30s and maybe even mid to late 30s.I think it's funny that 4chan years ago would complain about kids shitting up the site, but now 2026 /v/ believes that everyone on here is in their 30s and pretends they struggle with the possibility of someone here being under 30.Like, if you go any other board, they don't struggle with this concept at all. Only here.
>>746055683I just play old games. There is literally no need to ever touch nuslop it's for suckersThere is more good media made in and up to the 90s than you will ever be able to enjoy in a lifetime. I am always finding cool new games, movies, books and music that I had no idea existed. Some of them even have active communities like the doom wad scene the morrowind autists shit even vtmb is getting mods in 2026 somehow. Modding old games is easier and faster than it's ever been. If you can think of it some rando already made a randomizer or editor for the game and it's on github right now. And with the cheapest modern hardware you can get you can emulate just about anything worth playing too. There is literally no reason to engage with the trashy xitter crowd that infested everything. Old shit is imutable just get any hdd and you will never run out media kikes can kiss my ass
>>746058232Almost like teens 10 years ago were projecting to sound more mature and adult oriented.
>>746055683There's probably 200+ games in my backlog (if not more) made up of indie titles and games by small dev teams. This is more than enough to keep me busy and lot of them don't push things like microtransactions or battle passes down my throat like other modern games.That and I honestly don't know what else I'd do with my time.
>>746057628>but I'd never have known unless they told methis is bait
>>746056751Funny how burgers went from wanting total jap death to worshiping the ground they walk on in like 4 generations.
>>746056952Yeah, in suicides and having a lower birthrate.
>>746059936Can you explain why you think so?
>>746056952>DokdoKek Koreans are the only ones that are still hung up on this, it's some serious obsession.Meanwhile if you ask 50 Japanese on the street about Dokdo, 49 of them won't even know what you're talking about.
>>746055683gaming has been declining since 2007
>>746055683I mostly just play old games. There's a ton, I'm not going to run out any time soon. I don't really feel the need to stay on top of current shit, I play a new game maybe once every 2-3 years.
>>746057882Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heav'n
>>746060669You don't get it, Rammstein having a concert in the US is how Germany retroactively won the 2nd World War. Now korea is doing the same.
>>746061429Judging by the state of Germany right now they didn't win shit.
>>746062079Neither did the UK.
>>746061429NTA, but soft power is important. If japs love gookshit, then Tokyo is less likely to antagonize Seoul.Not exactly in the same ball park, but there was a period where France was occupying Germany and were obviously militarily superior, yet the krauts had such economic power that they could pulverize the frog economy overnight, so Bonn was usually the one calling the shots in their dealings, not Paris.
>>746062207Mike Tyson lost to Jake Paul lol
>>746055954Yeah, that was my first thought
>>746055683Hopium for what we know is possible, given what was once possible.The only reason modern gaming is shit is bad decisions.Yes, genuinely the singular reason. The AAA companies are doing everything wrong and wasting insane potential. But that's what's profitable nowadays so they will probably never fix the problem.
>>746062346At least someone got something out of all of this then I guess.
>>746056475We have that shit in New York too. If you're from the state you aren't a true New Yorker, just a flyover bumpkin. Long Islanders are Bumpkins too. Only if you're from the Boroughs you're a true New Yorker. Even Staten Islanders and that's basically suburbs.
>>746055683>early 30s>vidya going downhill for 10 years>half your lives>t.
>>746063368I thought Long Island was supposed to be fancy.
this a /pol/ thread?
>>746055683Pokemon DPPt reference?
>>746055954 Reminder Dawn is a JomonBVLL
>>746063768yeah, gen 4 was so popular that japan put billions of dollars into creating an artificial island that looked like sinnoh
The gaming industry will naturally heal itself over time. Everything is a cycle.>>746055728Speak for yourself. I joined during the days of Galo Sengan, and hope to see everyone here having fun again and not being a brainrotted negative Nancy.
Why do soiteens constantly try to shit talk Japan here? Do they think people can't tell what they're doing.
>>746063845no way
>>746055683I live in Sapporo. Why are we talking about Hokkaido? Something happen to Seicomart?
>>746065491are there wild lopunny up there?
>>746065606Yes, but I live in the city so not a lot of wild life. I see foxes sometimes.
>>746058232People believe that being 18-25 is the most important part of your life because you're at peak health.That's basically it.
>>746065491Go home creepy gaijin
>>746065827In two years when my contract is done that is indeed the plan.
>>746055683Indies, the odd decent AAA title, niche Japanese titles, my backlog, endless old and obscure games to try out, and the schadenfreude from following current affairs of the AAA industry.
>>746055683I play games from back when games were good. They're still here.
>>746055683I like good games, I don't like western slop.
>>746060068We bombed them and they gave us anime in returnI'd say it was an even trade.
>>746055683I can play older games you know. they arent going anywhere
sinnoh is based off of hokkaido and I just found a shiny snowrunt while playing pokemon platinum :DD
>>746055683because i play older games and i like to shit on all these new games that flood the industry
>>746070006>malepoor anon, better learn rng manipulation
>>746070808I think Glalie is cool as fuck even if it's a terrible Pokemon so I'm still going to be using it
>>746057663Jesus pirated bread btw
>>746065491Please give me a Japanese wife or something so I can live there, thank you
>>746055798Could you give me some examples of interesting Japanese games? They all look the same especially JRPGs.
>>746071226Get in shape. Use Gogonihon to join a Language School for 2 years. Use that time aggressively on Tinder and other dating apps to find a Japanese wife.I didn't do this, but I know a few people who did.Recommendation is to not go to Tokyo. Go to the country. More women who are unfamiliar with foreign men and the fact that we're basically nice to them.
>>746060669One of the funniest parts of visiting South Korea was seeing and ad on the train on the way out of the airport. English ad to let the tourists know how Dokdo is "rightful Korean clay" and how evil the Japanese were when they took it and how they refuse to give it up.So I look into it. It's governed by Korea, it has two dozen people, the international community doesn't give two shits about who owns the rocks. I'm sure some right-wing nationalists in Japan care about those islands, but the Koreans are quite butthurt about it.
>>746055683Sinnoh...home
>>746055683I don't have to play new games to play video games
>>746055683Is that a motherfucking pokemon platinum reference
>>746071818nah you are wrong on this. It's not just some mad right-winger thing. It's the official stance of the Japanese government that claims the rock. Even a quick google search shows that the website of Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs claims the rock, you lazy fuck.
>>746055683I'm 40 and there's still some good things to play, both old and new.The absolute blight of social politics aside, developers having basically unlimited freedom to develop a game any way they want due to no longer being bound by technical limitations has of course created a severe competency crisis. "good enough" is the current standard, and it will only get worse with AI. This is why indie games (despite the influx of automated AI shit) has been the last saving grace since it's still possible to find interesting games made by people who actually give a damn.The simple answer is I continue to push through the medium while ignoring the undesirable aspects as much as possible.Quitting /v/ would go a long way to achieving that, but I'm here forever.
I live in Japan and I have absolutely zero idea what this thread is supposed to be about. OP a faggot?
>>746072097>>746071979fun fact: Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh were all based on Japanese geographical locations.
>>746055683Addiction.I only play PoE at this point.The last new game I played and enjoyed was Elden Ring.
>>746072419Russia and China making any sort of claims are laughed off in the west by default as a way to make sure to de-legitimize the opponents of western civilization. try to understand the 5D politics involved in the statements before speaking next time.
>>746055683indies saved it for mesome AAA stuff is acceptable, i never really thought 'wokeness' was as much of a problem as people said it was
>>746073459It's Japan who claims Russian territory not the other way around.
>>746055903I google translated some older jap political statement from years ago and was surprised to see them saying 'hurting the feelings of our people" just like the chinese. I realize now that it's a yellow thing rather than a chink thing
>>746073485>says the aids ridden commiefornian coon trans nigger who plays marathon.lmfao, faggot. you are not /v/ you are an invasive species that should be exterminated like a cockroach.
>>746072419I'm aware the conservative, one-party state that doesn't change policy until absolutely forced to hasn't renounced their claim to islands they don't actually govern. They also don't seem to actively be letting tourists know about the dispute in some attempt to paint the people "occupying their" rocks as evil. To be fair, I was in Korea about a week before that coup attempt and got to see some protests, the propaganda video could have been some government attempt to direct anger away from the soon to be impeached guy rather than anything signifying public opinion.
>>746073695they are trying to claim Soviet territory (USSR is not a legitimate nation anymore and Russia does not have legitimate holding over those lands): that's also been in Japan's control for ages before Soviets faggot, go back to whatever lefty/pol/ website you came from ruski.
>>746073459The truth is that the western civilization has been literally imploding by Russian and Chinese psyops and propaganda. 5D politics your ass retard.
>>746073702for Japanese its only serious matters like the nuclear bombs/hiroshima-nagasaki type of things but otherwise they don't use that sort of language lightly. Chinese make it all about "finding out ways to exploit hurt feelings for de jure right to violate another person." Japanese just want you to respect their culture and apologize if you do something wrong, they get it their culture is different from foreigners and can treat you equally if you are willing to learn. Chinks? extremely hostile to new ideas from the west.
>>746073834My guy won so i'm good
>>746073834>being this ass deep into the propaganda of the state.good by nigger! go to the army nigger! your country is loosing and Putin is a bitch being laughed at by Kazakhstan! HAHAHAHA. Only thing imploding are the Russian amazons/walmarts and oil supplies.
>>746073834I believe there's a lot of truth to what you're saying. But, at the same time, Russia is murdering all it's young people in a retard war, and China's economy is rather quickly collapsing. So, eh. I'm not sure we lost out.
>>746073938low effort shitposting to a low iq retard nigger, that's why I'm not bothering to fix anything in that post. only thing a ruski deserves for spreading propaganda online is a bodybag.
>>746055683>Most of you have stated gaming has been on a decline for 10 or more years.My once beloved series have all become shit, but gaming as a whole is better then ever.I learned long over a decade ago that large amounts of money typically cause games to be shit, so while originally you had to pay attention to what publishing companies to avoid it evolved into the entire AAA industry.There are so many good games coming out all the time these days, more than I have time to play. I find a lot of the issues people have these days is when you play a lot of games that are very similar, you start hyper comparing them to ones you've played before that did it better, and as such you need to start branching out to new genres. You're starting to see this become an issue with the general audience for Sony's movie games. They're all so similar that people are starting to get bored of them.tldr; games are still fun
>>746073948Ukraine also killed its own people in the same war and now only foreigners and veterans are fighting, lmfao, its a shitshow on both sides and its basically just a war of attrition to see who can cause most damage for the longest time. Putin has basically lost because its supplies are getting shut down and the fact that he's trying to backtrack censorship and other things when he's being pushed in by Ukraine signals a rather defeatist angle of trying to play the victim potentially if they get conquered by an overwhelming force. if one doesn't see it as such is a laughable faggot.
>>746055683I'm not one of those people. I've definately been enjoying the last 15 or so years of autism sims and strategy game fuckery. Yeah, AAA stuff sucks, but millions of games exist and that doesn't bother me.
>>7460556831: Some okay games still come out.2: There are still tons of classics that I've yet to play.3: Replaying games that I like is fun.4: Developing skills for a new hobby sounds hard, but other passive medium are too boring (I like movies, but I don't think I can watch 14 hours on my days off like I can playing vidya).5: I am on some hardcore copium that eventually in like 10-20 years things will course correct and devs will actually have to care about [product] or go bankrupt.6: There is a vague stubbornness of not wanting to be shoved out of my hobby by interlopers.
>>746055683I'm in my 40s. I'm still here because I got banned from everywhere else.
>>746074078The are under replacement levels. To even function as a state they'll need to bring in foreign labor. Which I think was the plan all along.
>>746074237the idea for Ukraine by the Kikes who did the whole maidan and CIA-color revolution was to wipe out Ukrainians completely and let the Jews have it as part of their Khazarian Empire. if you look at CK II map, which people do you see in there in the early starting ages? the fucking Khazarian Jews (who have nothing to do with biblical Hebrews from Egypt by the way other than being Arab converts.)
No other form of media grants me the satisfaction of slaying my enemies and mastering esoteric power struggles to better my own personal resolve.
>>746073786>that's also been in Japan's control for ages before Soviets faggot, go back to whatever lefty/pol/ website you came from ruski.The disputed islands are under Russian control why is why Putin can visit them and the Japanese can't, and why Japanese PM Takaichi could only respond to saying Putin "hurt the feelings of the Japanese people".
>>746073948>China's economy is rather quickly collapsing.Lol
>>746074596Actual collapsing economy: South Korea after China chips were announced
>>746073881>Chinks? extremely hostile to new ideas from the west.It's Japan stagnating and failing to adopt new western ideas like AI. Now Japan has stooped to new low of copying AI from China.
>>746074731The AI from china that was trained on the AI from the west?
>>746074731AI is definitely not something that west is actively utilizing other than US. everyone else is smelling the poopjeet fingers inserted into every orifice of AI that its not even useful for anything. its mostly Israel/China/India toy and not useful for 1st world countries. a lot of first worlders that have tried using AI for coding/programming have been like "there's too many problem codes that get generated that its not even useful, so I stopped using AI completely."
>>746074853Deepseek R1 was the first RL trained model meaning it used RL reward model to fine tune its answer at each iteration, something all other models did afterward.
>>746074894Is this how the EU copes with being behind in AI just like Japan?
>>746055683>So what has even kept you guys around in this medium if you genuinely held this opinion for half your livesBy simply ignoring Xbox/PlayStation and sticking to PC/Nintendo.
>>746074731busted, stop being a faggot.

>>746056952I do not give a fuck about kpop. Just a worse version of Kpop, which already fucking sucks. The only reason Korea has more GDP is because of Samsung.
>>746075136You know Japan fucked up when all other Asians prefer Russia and America to them
>>746075207>The only reason Korea has more GDP is because of Samsung.And SK HynixToo bad Japan fell behind in semiconductors. Reagan and Bush did kneecap them in the 80s.
>>746055683retro games, some japanese games, some indie games (stick to lesser-known games), replaying old favorites
>>746074596We've seen this again and again that China doesn't report it's data correctly. If you look over time, they in fact report more incorrectly over time.China is growing, for sure, but it's a collapsing population and middling economic growth. The question is does Xi die before his people hang him at this point.
>>746075170those are all also poisoned as they rely on stolen data from the other mentioned models if you bothered to read it. Qwen is trained on Gemini/Open AI answers and so forth. there's zero open source interpreter that doesn't do the same thing, there's only an open source front end called Odysseus AI by Pewdiepie and it still uses Llama as the back end. all the censorship happens on the backend.
>>746055728Kill yourself
the woke era of 2015-2025 was such a waste of money and people's time
>>746075307The Mandate of Heaven has been removed many times in Chinese history, Xi.
>>746075280it was a coordinated effort by the kikes to destroy the Japanese industry. they had the copy thing down before the Chinese could make a functioning prototype of anything western that didn't break after use.
The answer is simple: I haven't bought a new game in over 10 years.
>>746075347Xi never had the mandate of heaven (its how nature responds to one's rule), mandate of earth is how the people respond to one's rule. (and its looking extremely unaligned to Xi's vision.)

>>746075402Sure thing. The CCP didn't collapse during the great leap forward, cultural revolution or tiananmen square, but it will now that they are about to put people on the moon.
>>746075530your tofu buildings say otherwise compared to your propaganda, China doesn't have clear skies so that's fake footage.
>>746075307Is your post AI generated nonsense? It's an IPO for a company that apple is trying to buy chips from. If your claim is the stock market is fake and gay - that applies to all stock markets, just keep in mind western stock markets are far more inflated than the Chinese one.
>>746075596Cope responses so far>It's fake AI footage>They stole the tech from spaceX>Elon sold it to China for favors>It's too far behind spaceX anywayWhat else?
>>746075637So, I trust the apple side of the deal expressing how much money they are spending. I do not trust the Chinese side of the deal, explaining how much the company is growing or how meaningful this is for the country at hand.8.6 billion dollars is about 3 days of the US Economy for reference. And so seeing a photo like that puts some doubt on things.
>>746055683Haven't touched a modern game since cyberpunk, been just playing games from my backlog and I don't think I'm ever running out of fun games to play.Just recently got into classic doom, played the originals then tnt and plutonia and there's like a million wads and other user generated content. And that's just one game.
>>746075596Jiuquan launch site is in the middle of the desert. Do you have any idea how big China is?
>>746055683Gaming is not declining. You are not just using vidya to simulate an actual job. All the best processing power is going to healthcare, and quality of life. Vidya is not greatly considered for quality of life, though we here at /v/ believe in /v/idya. Play vidya to gain skills in your normal job...but don't expect other gaming to stabilize, or even incline. Plenty gaming must actually be useful for working people, or else declines.I fight in real life. I play VRFPS while wearing wrist weights. I like Microsoft Flight Simulator 40th anniversary, but I'm not currently flying. Also the graphics processor for MFS is an expensive graphics processor.
>>746075835>All the best processing power is going to healthcare, and quality of life.
Why haven't you moved back to BASED and REDPILLED China instead of living in the pozzed USA/Canada, Zhang?
>>746076047>wumao with anime pfpi think this even funnier
>>746076047Can you ask all the other diaspora, from the Armenians to the Poles to the Indians, why they care and brag so much about their home country?
>>746076130>whataboutism
>>746076158Your q about country of residence is a non sequitur after you gave up disputing a rocket recovery, so I'm entitled to whataboutism
>I FUCKING LOVE CHINA>BUT I WOULD NEVER EVER LIVE THERE
>>746075824>on rightful mongolian clay.anyways, chink tech is stolen, shit and won't work. lmao.
>>746076202I actually would for ease of acess to asian women alone if I spoke chinese
>>746076202I'll talk about China for as long as Indians are allowed to talk about India
>>746076248>rightful mongolian clayWhat makes it rightful? I thought might makes right? China is mightier than Mongolia is it's Chinese clay.
>>746055683I don't hold this opinion. It's you faggots who bitch non stop. I'd rather we discuss video games we like instead of bitching all day every day. But I don't want to make some fucking account in a gaming forum. It would probably be worse there.
>>746055683I dunno. I didn't even bother playing Expedition 33 even though it was shilled here. I got a Steam Deck and use it as an emulation machine for old PSX, Saturn, and Dreamcast roms. Since I have a wife and kid, I don't got time for gaming. I just come here to post while I'm doing chores and changing diaper. The last geniune good game I played was probably Persona 5 in 2016
>>746055798>Some European devs are still release decent games and the Japanese are always releasing new interesting gamesAnd yet you couldn't even name one lmao
>>746060068Foreigners are way bigger weebs than Americans lmao. You're delusional
>>746076302>Might makes right will to power Faustian Nietzsche neo Nazi chuds when the liberals and leftists both have superior firepower, logistics and C4ISR
>>746055683Because asian, B studio and indie games are better than ever. Only western AAA have declined.
i think that tankies and other western chinkshill types have done more to damage the west's opinion of china than the chinese people have in the past decade purely by being really annoying on the internet
>>746076543You mean like Trump has done more to damage America's reputation than any Chinese or Russian or Iranian propaganda
OLD OLDOLDIM OLD YOUR OLDBE SADSTOP LIKING THINGSJUST THINK TALK ABOUT HOW OLD WE AREWERE GONNA DIBE DEPRESEEDDNo fuck off
>>746076543no one really cares about the chinese taking over anymore, it's Indians everyone hates now
>>746072419*small penis emojis you*
>>746076543megacope lmao. China has never been so popular in the world. You mutt delusions are getting out of control.
>>746073938>loosingsaaarrrrrr
>>746076742i have a small dickwhat of it
>>746055683I'll die before playing all my pre-2013 library
>>746055683>play indiana jones>"fascists don't deserve money">steal like a fucking nigger>uninstall and launch doom map #4938639
>>746055683>So what has even kept you guys around in this medium if you genuinely held this opinion for half your lives?Replaying older games and helping younger anons enjoy older vidya.
>>746069806Do you ever partake in aow4 multiplayer?
>>746076808uh nothing, carry on sir.
Even if you ignore all the older games with an infinite number of mods like skyrim, morrowind, thief, doom, rimworld and 4x, theres still indie 10/10 games that come out once every few years that you can dedicate a portion of your gaming career to.There's literally to much to play
>>746075496With ck3, once you've exhausted the diagloue options dosent the game get boring??I dont get how people dump 3k hlurs into it.
>>746063849This. There are still diamonds in the sea of piss.
>>746056404>t. dirt asian
There's plenty of amazing games in the rough you either not looking, or are jaded, depressed and one day away from ending it all.
Gen 7 was the dark age of gaming. Nothing that terrible is happening at the moment
>>746077234Sorry m8, I'm a shitter with RTS games. I struggle with normal Ai.
>>746076636Sweden yes!!
>>746056952To be fair, Kpop dominates right now because Japanese absolutely refuse to innovate their music scene. They're still making the same low effort cutesy cashgrab clone-army Morning Musume shit they were making 30 years ago and wonder why people have stopped caring
>>746056475Every country has some sort of >X people are based>Y people are fagsthing going on. The US has flyovers, the South and the East/West coast. Australia has every state permanently butthurt over Queensland's superiority. The UK has north vs south. Japan's thing is each region lowkey doesnt really like each other, but being the Canadians of Asia they all pretend behind fake politeness before immediately talking mad racist shit behind closed doors.
>>746056746>Most Japanese are Tokyo supremacistsMost Japanese fucking HATE Tokyo. Even Tokyo people hate Tokyo because about 80% of people living in Tokyo arent even from there. They're from other parts of Japan but had to move there for work.
>>746057628>I have a colleague from Hokkaido, one from Okinawa and one from Osaka, but I'd never have known unless they told me.Well you can instantly tell Osaka from how they speak and Okinawa from their attitude. Hell even with "kansai-ben" you can tell specifically which city in Kansai someone's from if you're paying fucking attention.
>>746071226You dont understand. Your options for working as a foreigner there are>essentially flipping burgers for $8/hour>singing "Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" to kids/teenagers for 8h a day for $10/hr>opening your own cafe/restaurant/bar and working 80h a week keeping it running, to make about the same. Also being foreign in Japan means you can never own property, you can never own a credit card and if your wife dies/divorces you, you also lose your visa. Was Japan a cool place to live at one stage? Sure, the 00s and first half of 2010s were amazing. But that ship has long sailed, foreigners have less rights than before, pay/worklife has been eroded by massive influxes of Filipinos (Asia's mexicans) and Japanese went from loving foreigners and thinking they're cool to absolutely despising them in the last 10 years. Get a Japanese girlfriend who's just moved to your country and put a ring on her before she realises she has better options around once she learns how to speak English better.
>>746055683Old, good games exist and occasionally there's a new good game.
>>746055798>The only gaming on decline is American game development.Japanese games are being heavily westified now, at least the big corporate ones.
>>746056952Japan has a much healthier cultural output on the global scale and I say this as a non-weeb. Also a lot of their output isn't even directly tied to being Japanese like Korean shit is to being Korean. Kpop is pretty much exclusively liked by insane people in the West and their TV shows and movies are wildly overrated.
>>746055683I just play old games.that sample.
>>746055683I'm 37 and a NEET. I love video games.
>>746079318>Also a lot of their output isn't even directly tied to being Japanese like Korean shit is to being KoreanLike what? The most famous cultural stuff people know about Japan is stuff that is very inherently Japanese. Sushi, kimonos, karaoke, zen, etc.
>>746055683Old games, indies and romhacks
>>746055683im not stuck to this mediumim stuck to this board
>>746055683>So what has even kept you guys around in this medium if you genuinely held this opinion for half your lives?Because everything else just fucking sucks and is way worse than gaming ever will be.>TV shows got raped>Most movies got raped>Books got raped>Pop culture in general got rapedReading manga and playing video games are the only non-sports hobbies that I have that's still worth a damn, even if video games were half raped at least some good shit comes out of it every once in a while like Fromsoft or Capcom games. Every other studio though? Completely fucked and raped because of DEI compliance, censorship and video games intentionally made for people like DSP.
>>746055683The older I got the more I learned what I like and what I don't and now it's trivial for me to ignore games I don't care about and only play games I have fun with. There are still new games coming out I enjoy, it's just not AAA slop, and there are old classics I still love replaying.
