Why do most games feel so unoriginal and bland nowadays? None of them have a unique look or concept.

>Jap slop
>Dark Souls Slop
>Generic Fantasy RPG
>Remake or Remaster that does nothing to improve upon the flaws of the original
>Cartoony multiplayer extraction shooter with a band of misfits

Why can't you fuckers make an actually unique game. Nothing looks good or interesting anymore

Because its all the same soulless game engines running on the same budget pc hardware. And the people who work in the gaming industry nowadays have no artistic talent or vision. Most of them cant draw, paint or play an actual instrument. Its over. Gaming is dead.

Where's that one NPC who cries about "you all are so negative, gaming has never been better, incels"

>>714264404 (OP)
Same reason why popular music/books/movies etc. are slop. Pandering to some imaginary audience isn't just expected, it's enforced. If you want any kind of support or funds, you'll have to create what they want.

Play total conversion mods or look for indie games that haven't been state funded (so basically stay away from whatever appears in the steam charts)

Some total conversion mods are better than most games nowadays. It's like money just ruins creativity.

Modern capital is necessarily risk averse. If you make more of what's already successful, you inherently have an existing marketing demographic. Hence the modern desperation to leverage or acquire legacy IP.

>indie games don't exist

>>714264404 (OP)
Stop playing mainstream slop and put even the smallest bit of effort into doing your research.

>>714265529
To be fair the term "indie" has been stretched to the point where it's almost meaningless. Look at shit like drova which was entirely government funded, how indie is that really when they still answer to a master? Real indie games are rare now.

>>714264404 (OP)
cause you are a jaded passive consumer and too lazy to look for anything original and new
next question

>on a healthy rotation of Dwarf Fortress, Total Warhammer 3, Helldivers 2 and Oblivion Remastered
Any recs I should add, ideally from the Summer Sale?

>>714264404 (OP)
stop playing only AAA slop

>now
Ah yes, Brown And Bloom Military Bald Guy FPS was an age of true innovation

Because companies don't want to risk to lose their precious profits

>>714269185

>>714268905
You're fucking blind and retarded if you think most games nowadays aren't soulless

Don't buy AAA garbage, maybe?
I've been playing Chronicles of the Wolf and I think I might like it more than SotN. Incredible atmosphere and actually challenging (the main strike against SotN is that it is easy as hell).

It's not just games. Everything is soulless now because the world ended in 2012 and we have been living in hell ever since.

>>714274056
>Over generalizing
Where do you think you are newfag?

The entire entertainment industry was hijacked and drove into the ground so now they outsource everything to the third world, which is why stuff like CGI is worse now
