I think it's similar in some ways to board games. The average person will often have a funny story of them playing Monopoly with friends and then conflate it with Monopoly being a good board game. It's the same thing with modern video games. People will enjoy the story, environments, and characters of a video game without actually thinking about whether the minute-to-minute gameplay was even enjoyable. Oftentimes people will only enjoy a game as a result of huge marketing pushes for said games or a perceived sense of "community" when they feel that thousands of others are playing the same game.

Stop spamming your Codex thread on 4chan.

People sneer at the idea of a minority of people "deciding" what great art is supposed to be but it's either that or you end up with only what is current and popular being remembered, with all the predictable consequences.

Games are above art.
Mass communication is founded on the lowest common denominator.
Egalitarianism and pluralism are cultural illnesses.
You cannot put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
Pissing in the wind and preaching to the choir are mindnumbing activities.

When does this ever happen? If modern casuals talk anything retro, its just waxing nostalgia.

Anyway, did this butt-fuck ever actually post his top 100 list?

>I am sick to death of the casual-gamer, lowest-common-denominator, sub-100 IQ retard wiping out gaming history with their mediocre, uninformed input. The internet was a mistake. Gaming history is being scrubbed from human record-keeping and documentation. Masterful works of the past are being replaced by slop-addled common opinion from vermin who don’t even know video games, or who play games “just for the story” and/or visual experience alone. This is incredibly reductionist and misguided.
Video games are very complex experiences that take huge teams to produce over multiple years, consisting of gameplay, music, sound design, art, story, and more. Developers certainly contribute heavily to this lost history as well, with their endless sellout remakes and remasters that make the originals worse, while providing almost zero genuine homage or respect for works of the past—because it isn’t in their best interest to highlight superior art that makes their trash look like the worthless net negative to society it truly is.

100% true

Plebs and enthusiasts share hardly any common ground - it's not in regards to video games.

I played RE4 remake the other day and the "TLOU" tier cinemaification and the yellow paint were blatantly shoved in your face. The original RE4 doesn't even look bad, why did it need a remake? To make things worse, Capcom execs was shocked when some people wanted to play the original REs. These companies have no clue about anything, they just dictate devs to follow trend charts and think tanks. SOUL has been lost to corporate bloat, this is an undeniable fact. Oblivion demaster is another good example, instead of making the original game more stable and 64-bit, or innovating anything at all they went ahead and turned it into a frankenstein UE5 hybrid with zero mod support. Great job retards

I do too but what he's basically saying is my opinion is truth and yours is shit. Everyone is allowed to have an opinion that we don't agree with and I hate this faggy gatekeeping behavior.

Not clicking that IP grabber also wtf is this monkey man talking about? I can play old games on emulators and shit whenever I want. Gaming history is fine.
>but they don't make games for me anymore!!!
Theres plenty of old games. You probably don't even play every genre plus sub genres because you're a casual lol fucking boomers are the penultimate fake gamers who only really play what they have nostalgia for.
