Why did metroidvanias, my most beloved genre, go from games based around exploration, finding secrets, upgrades and absorbing yourself in the worlds unique fauna into 2D dark souls where the point of the game is that it’s hard and you get gamer cred if you win? I want to go back.

I highly doubt you've played every single one of the kind you like, Sataniaposter
in fact I don't think you play videogames at all

You answered you're own question. It's because of dark souls. Souls games have ruined gaming.
>>
>>748883926
My dear Satania poster yours is not the only genre to suffer greatly from seemingly every developer brainwashing themself by playing that dogshit souslop.
I've seen Momodora turn full souls shit and become shit and soulless because of it. A chance at a 3D zelda style game is even more slim now because everything is soulshit. Hell, they even put soulslop into a shitty jrpg and spammed it with paid awards.
I will however say sometimes it turns out great. GRIME I absolutely hated at the start with the strong focus on parryslop and no npc talking retarded zanzibart nonsense instead of just saying what is going on. But as I played it got better. I think it really clicked when I got the airdash which opened up platform exploration in a really fun way and soon after I actually found a city where people would just say their feelings, intentions and how this world works. The last dlc area was a full blown hardcore parcour that required using all of your platforming abilities in very tight spacing and timing. It was a joy to see he dev grow and get better that much from the initial slop start.

You have autism and the image does not even apply. There are often recovery points to the platforming failure.

>>748884352
I wouldn’t mind if someone tried to make their own 3D Zelda game based around puzzles instead of combat. I liked Onimusha and Nine Sols and they’re both parryslop.

Why did anime, my beloved media, go from shows about the hero's journey, slaying dragons, saving the princess, but at the same time critiquing campbell's and jung's archetypes, nietszche's nihilism, and freud's incest psychoanalysis,
to agp ogre hon tranny slice of life wish fulfillment sloppa?

Because you don't watch anime and don't realize that both have always existed.

How bad at platformers and how mad was the person making this image?

>no you don’t understand celeste has to be hard if you get frustrated it means you understand the games meaning about struggling with mental illness you’re supposed to lose
>>
>>748883926
The old guard all quit, and everyone that's new is either enamored with Souls, legitimately not talented enough to come up with their own combat systems, or too scared to do something different because Souls is a system that most modern gamers are familiar with and find immediately intuitive

Basically the industry has successfully convinced people to love a copypaste template in order to streamline the gamedev process
>>
>>748885075
That image is about Celeste? LMAO how much of a shitter do you have to be to struggle with that game? Everything is so open, there's no precision.
>>
>>748883926
Thank God they did, Silksong mogged the fuck out of every single Metroid ania I have ever played, including HK and Metroid (Specially Metroid).

I rejoice seeing fat neckbwarda that use gaming as escapism seethe whenever they have to face with the reality they suck ass, here's life yet again demanding they become better. Their little fragile comfort fat fuck egos can't handle it, and they think I owe them something . Lol.

Please cry harder, then fuck off play your gay ass gacha JRPGs
>>
>>748883926
People got bored with old shit and switched to new shit. Are you too dumb to understand that, or just want to bitch about the popular thing?
>>
>>748885075
You could just git gud, but that'd mean you'd have to face yourself and you can't handle that can you?
You could have chosen to simply not play the game, but no. Your little ego wouldn't let you do that, cause anything that reflects your own ineptitude back has got to be destroyed. No challenge allowed, no thought, no patience.

Just a fat fuck weak ass hedonistic spiral of endless glutonny, coom and instant gratification. I see through you, you are a failure.
>>
I play Super Metroid for that itch
>>
>>748885442
I don’t know why you are projecting so much. I’m 118 pounds I know what discipline is. I simply want good games.
>>
>>748884809
Because all those westerners were right, and anime failed. Now its appeals to severely autistic man children, pedos, porn addicts, and braindead muh nostalgia crowd.
Perfect breeding ground for fags And troons

So you are either a Manley or a blanket. Weak either way, and you say I am projecting?
>>
>>748883926
Most of them still follow the same core if exploration and finding upgrades, I'd even say 70% of them are still like this
But you seem focused on the ones that deviate for some reason
>>
>>748885642
Yes i’m short. I don’t understand how that would be projecting? Wouldn’t that mean I would want to play hard games to prove myself when that isn’t the case.

Touched a nerve, huh?

I am right, and anyone with 2 braincells knows it. Weaboos are nothing man children that genuinely thought running on child nostalgia well I to adulthood was going to somehow make their waifus become real.

It's cope bait for weak men, and that always ends with trannies. Simple ass. Anime failed.

I like how you admit to being a soiteen who doesn't know shit but hates anime because he saw a tranny use a character in his pfp

>>748885716
I think it mostly means you are a little faggot. There's no shortage of yellow psi t games in this industry, if you are going out of your way to bitch about niche games, it's unlikely to be for any other reason that you got rekt, got your feefees hurt and had to come here to vent and seethe

If you dont like git gud games, dont play git gud games. You are not entitled to win if you lack the skill, does that bother you?
Does it piss you off?

Git gud
>>
>>748885802
Just one?
Every single tranny I've seen online does, literally all of them. It's a stereotype for a a reason.

Escapism always attracts the weakest of people, and there's nothing more eacapst than anime, which most popular genre is literally Isekai.
Lol.

redditors and indians jerked off hollow knight for having 100 hours of filler for $20 and now every metroidvania has to be like that

Team ladybug is the only "big" developer still making real Metroidvanias. Now everything had to be 40 hours of walking around aimlessly instead of a tight expierence
>>
>>748883926
To be fair most of the Igavania games suck except for SOTN and the Sorrow games. Metroid while good barely has games.
Anyway Hollow Knight is what ruined the genre.

You walk down a dark hallway while reading lore. The lore is political so you can argue about it online.

That's basically everything nu/v/ plays now.

RETARD ALERT
>>
Kuso thread.
>>
>>748883926
Dark Souls is also like what you're describing metroidvanias as. The problem both for metroidvanias and also for actual Dark Souls games is how popular Dark Souls 3 was.
>>
>>748895827
They are allowed to be hard but they shouldn’t be made with the idea that they will be hard.
>>
>>748897976
So if its hard but the dev says it was an accident (while not making it easier) you'll be fine with that?
>>
>>748883926
When you failed to realize that Dark Souls is a kind of weird 3D Metroidvania.
