Now that the millennial writing style is dying, will we finally see a resurgence in gritcore games?

>>714936475 (OP)
Is it? Every time I believe this writing style is dead, something releases that proves me wrong.

>>714936475 (OP)
Give some examples of "millennial writing"

>look at credits
>everyone is above the age of 50 in the writing and director roles

>>714936705
Is millennial writing the same as Whedon style writing or Marvel quippy writing?

>millennial writing
>look inside
>gen x and boomers

Zoomer writing will be worse

Millennials are stuck in entry level slave positions fuck off with your "Millennial writing" nonsense

There should be no writing, only game.

>>714936824
Yeah but people use it wrong. Its not being written by Millenials but Gen X. Seth Mcfarlane, Justin Roiland, Joss Whedon, people who write for most capeshit, quirky Netflix shows, Trick Weekes...all grown men in their fucking 40's and 50's. And it appeals to maybe a small subdemographic of millenials all raised on the same LGTBQ oriented sludge California peddles.

>>714937032
>Yeah but people use it wrong. Its not being written by Millenials
Nah. They have their own share of hand dirtying. Jason Loo for an example kills Danny Rand and Robert "Sentry" Reynolds then replaces the latter with some disabled nigress who named herself Solaris. They're still basically dead to this day. The guy is a millennial so it checks out.

>>714937298
Ok but thats different from what the faggot OP or most people think of when it comes to that sardonic, post ironic, meta quirky writing. Thats just shit writing, general capeshit writing to boost sales or an agenda.

>>714936984
Solid examples of actual millennial writing are niel cicirega/lemon demon and toby fox

>>714937032
Oh yeah those 50 and 60 year old millennials

Millennial btw

>>714936475 (OP)
>millennial writing
>all written by boomers and gen X'ers
What did OP mean by this?

>>714937030
based and true

This has to be a retarded zoomer parroting what retarded transmongold goldstein days without even looking into it and seeing clearly that those are actually gen x writers.

>>714937763
Doom is one of the worsts things to have ever happened to videogames. Both of this retards went on to make failure after failure after their earlier success.

>>714937769
I shit you not, the writer for the RE4 remake was born in the fucking 40s. The game industry would rather hire actual geriatrics than millennials.

>>714937631

>>714936475 (OP)
It will take an industry shift. With Stellar Blade, there's still pushback on games where women actually look like women, so games like The Darkness will probably take a while to get made again.

>>714937763
LOL, even DOOM had story writing to give context to the game.

>>714937832
totally disagree about doom. and regardless of their later failures, their philosophy on game design reigns supreme.

>>714936940
Zoomer writing has been around for a bit now. It's as bad as you think it is. Kind of hard to describe. They just genuinely don't know how to write. It's all laid out like a Deviantart journal. Minus the honesty, of course. If you ever watched one of those godawful webshows they love it's very close to that.

>>714938170
no it doesnt. it functionally doesnt and only has some preliminary text that basically boils down to "yo we gotta kill the evil bad guys and you are the best guy for the job. go get 'em johnny killguy!"

>Boomers ruined the industry with the crash of '83
>Gen X ruined the industry with Gritty brown Calla Dooty games
>Millennials ruined the industry with woke writing and open world slop
Gen Z is yet to blossom but I project that they'll attempt to course correct to the good Gen X years or go full gacha Minecraft streamer slop

Is there a single fucking millenial in the universe who is even historically note worthy outside of Mark Zuckerburg, im struggling to think of anyone else, all the CEOs are like Gen X or Boomers, is Musk a millenial?
seems like they were touted as the most disruptive generation but nobody really remembers any of their "impact"

>>714938249
>only has some preliminary text
Congrats. You didn't disprove what I wrote.

>>714937298
Literally who?

>>714936705
Probably all those chungusy game concepts like Super Meat Boy, Plants vs Zombies, etc. Basically they thought anything that was "random" or quirky was funny and cool.

>>714938001
Fuck that is sad, she is already graying too. Imagine the gaming world or society as a whole if she and her feminist peers of that time got dicked, ringed, and knocked up instead of going to college. If only they were not brain washed to be hateful commie whores, right now they would be mothers and games would not be fucking gay.

>>714936475 (OP)
dont you have somewhere else to be suicidal faggot zoomer

>>714938554
They're kind of really bad at making shit take off and too young still to enter the industry proper. Go to like ichi.io or Newgrounds. Billions of them there now.

>capeshit
No wonder I've never heard of them then

Millennials take their writing pretty seriously. For some reason or other though they keep getting blamed for the writing that was marketed to them rather than created by them. The "millennial writing" you guys bitch so much is almost entirely written by Gen X, and spearheaded by Joss Whedon in particular. Millennial writers are either very self serious like Kendrick Lamar, surrealist like Donald Glover, or sickeningly earnest to the point you loathe them like Bo Burnham. But they're not the quippy flippancy you see in all the Marvel and Marvel lite movies. That's Gen X. And Gen Z is borderline illiterate.

>>714936705

>>714938639
OK so can you point it out in video games?

>>714938353
>I predict that the faggots who paint their fingernails will course correct
No

>>714938387
i can only think of e-celebs and school shooters

>>714939009
Gen x writing is marketed to women, not to millenials.

>>714938505
zoomers proving they know nothing once again

>>714939009
I don't have a dog in this fight but all you have to do is look at grunge culture and all the retarded lingo they used. Gen X were the original quirk chunguses.

>>714938387
That's because they were BTFO after occupy wall street put a target on their backs. Gen Z have been good little TikTok cattle and left alone as a result.

>>714936475 (OP)
That's Gen X writing.

>>714939151
Probably in Borderlands.

>>714939151

>>714939252
>>714939268
So just one series? This is the only game written by milennials ever?

>>714936705
Unironically Undertale

>>714936880
I'm not sure why people can't see the same corny one-liner jokes as anything but Gen X. This was extremely common in the 90s and 00s too, but edgier. It just got repurposed to sound more "woke".

>>714938505
>He doesnt know that lolrandumb has been happening in writing since forever and the only reason he is tired of it is because of the massive onslaught of content, unable to process the deluge of information being thrown at him daily and now only wants something comfortable and familiar as a foothold in the rising tide of chaos

do i need to spoonfeed you all of this shit? its a noted phenomenon for a reason, ugly fat retard.

Only one of those games has anyone close to millennial age writing it sorry.

Ironically the boomers. But that was when millennials were still their literal children to brainwash them into being good little worker bees.

>>714939473
Oh ok thanks anon I didn't know that.

>>714939479
So of the like 2000 games in the last 10 years your examples are from a gta ripoff, the rick and morty game, trump derangement shooter and dragon age tumblr, which already went full tumblr a decade earlier

stop acting like you don't know what we're talking about you fat retards.

>>714937030
>just make some cool cutscenes and leave the rest to the novels/manga guys, we have a fucking game to make
and there's still people (women) that cried to the story somehow, total victory.

I'm kinda sorry you're obsessed with like 20 games at most but also not really you deserve this.

It's Gen X writing, faggot.

why are the actual defenders of millennial writing in this thread ITT? what the fuck is happening to this board?

Ha

>>714939871
This I would actually call an example

I like how op just invents the term “gritcore” and all anyone can focus on is if millennial was used appropriately.

>>714939989
We're not defening it we're wondering why you're blowing up about a handfull of AAA dogshit that people shouldn't have been playing in the first place and acting like everyone born after 1990 was personally responsible.

>Show me a game written and directed entirely by milennials
Happy to help. Where were YOU when millennials saved vidya?

>>714940128
this game sucks and i still dont understand why /v/ likes it honestly

>>714940081
it is an easy enough to understand term. that is not where the problem in OP lies.

Could have just said The Last of Us

>>714940103
>that people shouldn't have been playing in the first place
In fact if you look at this amazing list here >>714939479 it's just flop after flop instead of highly successful industry defining game. Clearly this epidemic took over vidya games by storm.

>>714940081
Yeah funny how people respond to being attacked as a group. Also calling everything x-core is so out of control nobody noticed it the same as x-slop

>>714939479
Saints row 2022: Jason Scott, Jacques Hennequet, both GEN X credited to games in like 95 and before.
High on Life: Alec Robbins, a literal trannoid, no matter what gen is, already discarded.
dragon age veilguard: Women, trannies and gen x.
You are retarded.

>>714940250
Last of Us is also Gen X. Expedition 33 is the first actual all-Millennial game.

>>714940260
Well, if you weren't an actual zoomer retard you would have checked something you say so confidently, but your tiktok brain can't take much more after reading some words.
>>714940286

>>714937763
It's funny knowing Romero founded Ion Storm that created Deus Ex, which is considered to have some of the best writing in video games. I know he wasn't a part of that development but still.

>>714940260
>AAA
>Industry defining
You are the problem

>>714940329
And it's the best written video game of all time, we won guys.

>>714940329
Expedition 33 is an actual perfect example of both millenial game design and writing.

>>714940329
Nope, tlou is definately millennial. You can tell due to how shit it is.

>>714940446
So Milennials make good games? What's the point of this thread again?

>>714936475 (OP)
I'm a millennial and I don't write anything like "millennial writing".

>>714940478
Modern writing sucks balls and we need to go back to 1996.

>>714940451
Druckman and Bruce are both Gen X. Every single core member of E33 is Millennial. Now bow to your new French Millennial GODS.

>>714940451

>>714940508
But we just got an example of Milennials writing and making a good game while we have example after example of gen xers shitting themselves.

>>714940526
He's millennial in spirit.

>>714940564
Cyberpunk was created by a gen xer so you might be onto something.

>>714940260
If it was just the writing saints row 3 and 4 wouldnt have done big numbers since they were the same. Those games all failed because everything about them outside the writing was bland slop.

>>714940508
Retard, 1996 writing sucked balls the same as now, literally the same shit minus the tranny shit. Is just that gen x are getting worse and worse at copying themselves while marketing to women.

>>714940569
That's fair. So was David Foster Wallace, then he cringed about it so hard he killed himself and reincarnated into Bo Burnham who almost killed himself for a shitty Netflix special.

I don't think the zoomies will be able to top E33, their brains too fried on black worship and spongebob tiktoks
Yes sur

>>714936705
So this just happened

>>714940625
>>714940564
Gen Xers wrote good games (Deus Ex, VtM:B, etc.) but the 2010s is when their writing style really started to get tired. I don't think millennials are entirely blameless either but it's probably the result of millennials and gen x ideas combining in the worst ways.

>>714940647
Nah, you're just jaded. Writing was much better back in the 90's.

>>714939479
These are all Gen x :\

>>714940697
The best zoomer detector is if they are autistic spongebob cringe kids.

>>714940815
Most of these were deboonked as gen x written games...

>>714940740
It's the meteoric impact of Joss Whedon and MCU shifting corporate trends. Suddenly everybody wanted THAT level of success and demanded their own films and entertainment copy it. There was a window of time where the only way to break into entertainment in any capacity was to emulate that style. Its effects are well known and we're starting to see it shed finally.

>>714940815
Keep posting the same bait, samefagger retard zoomer.
Meanwhile in reality.
>>714940286

>>714940740
It's social media. Nearly every writer is now on twitter and is retarded as a result.

YIIK is going to be regarded as a masterpiece by alphoomers in twenty years

>No Millennial games actually listed
>Suddenly E33 appears
>The first vidya in history made exclusively by millennials
>Its 10/10 game of the decade masterpiece status already cemented
>zoomies suddenly panicked and demanding we all go back to the 1990s
No.

Zoomtards will produce digital shit like pic related and blame millenials for stuff written by gen x, but what do you expect from the generation that doesn't know what gender they are and their main religion is worshipping blacks who mumble rap and shoot themselves.

>>714941016
Its kinda funny you can see the exact pivot where they go 'W-well this Gen xer was a milennial in spirit!'.
They are mindbroken beyond repair.

>>714936705
Like every single modern western AAA game from the past 7 years or so.

>>714940987
Nobody has even played it so how would they know?
>>714940815
Undertale is the only game on that list other than borderlands that was ever relevant and borderlands is only there because it's loot mechanics were so crack tier they overcame what was regarded as the worst writing in videogames.

>Dying
Nigger, Bordermemes 4 is about to release

>>714941087
Again, those are all gen x writers, you dumb nigger.

>>714940828
yes it obviously is what is implied. for some reason the fucking retards in this thread dont get this. its a STYLE of writing that emulates a way of writing or acting that millennials have taken part in. its not like generational divides are hard cut where there is zero influence either way. damn this board is fucking stupid

Why do so many zoomers sound like shut in retard boomers

gen z's dostoevsky

>>714941179
Retard site faggot.

>>714941179

Play the game and find out champ.

>>714941234
Not really
Zoomers are half 2000s dudebros and half millenial whiny faggots.
Boomers are just bitter for having everything, getting most of it given to them in a silver plate and still wanting 10 times more.

Thankfully most are either Mobilefags or play old games and indies so they're helping to kill AAA

>>714941297
its not. its a way of writing, acting and speaking that was popularized amongst millennials in the millennial generation. its like how stomp clap hey hipster rock was not invented BY millennials but it was a defining genre for the millennial generation. its pretty simple shit if you arent braindead retarded and have a cursory understanding of how culture works

>>714941403
nah. played it for like 4 hours and thought it was gay melodramatic weebshit with annoying writing, aesthetics and characters.

>>714941431
Sheer delusion

>>714941453
But I have never seen or heard of Milennials writing like this outside of a few twitter screencaps which can be disregarded as twitter makes everyone retarded.
But we're getting shown a bunch of gen x written games here that suffer this milennial writing. maybe we should call it gen x writing? That seems a bit more appropriate I think.

>>714941515
Retard

>>714941297
Boomers don't writr like that, they don't even have the self awareness to think the silly stuff they are writing is ridiculous.
They play it straight.

GenX just deconstructs and constantly meta references everything, we're talking about the SomethingAwful generation here.

>>714941265
Literally who?

>>714941535
i simply disagree. the style in question this thread is about is something i clearly remember throughout the 2000s and 2010s when our generation was at our peak.
t. 1991 millennial

>>714936705

>>714937030
There should be writing, but no narrative, just worlbuilding with optional text and environmental storytelling.

And this is counting millennial as 1981 to 1996, in reality this would be even higher as 1985 to 1995 is more accurate.

>>714936880
>>714939441
It's because of 4chan's collective Zoomer Derangement Syndrome making anons think the younger generations have more power than they do. Millennials blame Zoomers for everything, Zoomers in turn start looking for flaws in Millennials, in truth it's always been the Boomers and Gen X.

>he thinks gen X exists

nta but he's correct. It has even less of a story than Mario brothers on nes. If you know the story of doom you picked it up outside of the game actually being played

>>714942576
Pokemon and spongebob are both from the same era

>>714940647
It's milennial writing, not gen x writing. Gen X writing is stuff like "Generation X" by Douglas Coupland. It's milennial writing because was targeted to milennials. Gen X people didn't play this shit and aren't the one's going around say shit like "well...that just happened" or "adulting"

Like I said, it's all propaganda and doesn't need a basis in reality, but people bought into the generation 'war' wholesale against their own kids and parents. It's weird.

Depression Quest is milennial-core. It's funny how this entire thread is just milennials trying to defend their generation now that they have the self realization that they were lamest and most boring generation and never got a true identity except for shit like big chungus and sponge bob

Degenerate viruses, memes, spam. All sounds the same. Begging others to adopt a viewpoint as reality. Once done the world is less and that person invalid until corrected.

Maybe not, but the false presentation saying all of an allotment are erronious or deficient... Ha...
It's degenerate. It's not providing backing to the best, but establiahing the worst as important, to be remembered and maintained.

Ninsense. Cowards makingbthese stupid memes should be killed.

The fact that it flopped seems to indicate that milennials don't like milennial writing though. Clearly it did not resonate with its 'intended' audience so why should milennials be blamed for something they didn't show interest in?

>>714942650
Pokemania was primarily a 90s thing with gen 1 and 2, it died right around 2000 so most early zoomers weren't as invested with it like millennials. Spongebob's popularity on the other hand peaked in the 2000s so it was a major part of most early and mid zoomers childhoods.

>>714942052
As a gen x'er who hated all of those things I'm siding with the zoomers against millenials on this. Millennials are the biggest normie generation of all time, and that's saying something considering they were the first to grow up with the internet and weren't mindfucked 24/7 by TV like older generations, who somehow still maintained a sense of individuality.

There should be story and writing but it should all be in item descriptions and a detailed bestiary.

If I wanna read I wanna sit down and binge a bunch of item descriptions, lore entries, and in game books.
I intentionally go for multi hour long bursts of not checking anything so I can have more to read when I wanna read.

>>714943869
Yep. They haven't made any good music, books, or movies. Their creative output is severely lacking because they have nothing to say. It's funny how much their creative output even lags behind gen x considering gen x is like the smallest generation ever because boomers hated kids. For every one gen xer there's 10 milennials. They have nothing to say that anyone is interested in

Spinning this as an age thing doesn't help anyone. The thing is just an approach. I don't like it, but anyone may use it.
The main problem there is to encounter is the lack of "watchfulness", that is, going out and having firsthand experiences with things outside of everyday routines. For example, I'm following a Telegram channel focusing on modern Russian art from the newbloods and one thing you notice is that they're trying real hard, sure, and it's beautiful, but it's not the stuff you'd preserve in your memory. It is because it only captures the everyday experience without reflecting on it: pastel-like depictions of people squatting with a cig in their mouth, commieblocks, derelict Soviet art, a village, a Lenin statue... Everyone knows what it is already. Nothing is drawn from this. It's a background without a story that justifies its existence.
The biggest reaction to such depiction was satire. A Lenin statue wearing a baseball cap, a village with flying cars, cyberpunk commieblocks etc. But nothing was drawn from it aside from "look, ain't that quaint?" either. I was to an exhibition of some underground local post-Soviet artist and somehow his works were more dated than the classics.
The things that stand out are the ones who either see the unknown and manage to transcribe it or manage to draw the unknown from everyday things. There are paintings of flowers out there that have more life and passion behind them than some dark fantasy sagas because the author knows the extreme emotion an everyday thing can convey. These Hyperborea paintings by Vsevolod Ivanov are so popular because they manage to capture this alternative mode of thinking so well you can't help but be captured by the world he depicts.
Same things with fantasy or any other art. You know what an orc is, but you also know how an orc can be subverted, and it's just boring either way. The best way to move forward is to forget about them entirely until his existence becomes new and weird again.

>>714943869
Same people who grew up with Mr Hands and gore sharing in school via movile phone through Infrared and later bluetooth became the biggest pussies I have ever seen.
Boomers went from hippies to squares, but didn't infatilize themselves.
Millennialls went from free spirited to soulless no fun ghouls.

It's goddamned depressing to witness

>>714944224
The problem here really is bigger than narrative styles. Gritcore is not anything new or forgotten either: there was a resurgence in popularity of The Trench Crusade, there's The Forever Winter, Frostpunk was popular enough etc. Arguably even things like Iron Lung are gritty to absurd levels.
What's gonna be "new", I feel, is the resurgence of things that are "well-researched". Think of how Planescape: Torment or Morrowind drew from real mythologies and beliefs to aid their writing. There's gonna be a boom in worlds you'd have an entire book behind just explaining its history and lore. Not even ARGs, just straight up literary sources out in the open. Either that, where you tap into new sources of "new" itself or endless "hey remember this thing from your childhood" memory incest.
>>714936705
Ville Kallio is born in 1990, so I nominate Cruelty Squad. I think he said that he watched Robocop when he was 6 and you can feel that. Just a world that is malicious to you, things that are alien to life, streams of mentally unwell information into your brain. I loved his inspirations from Bataille, though. Interwar philosophy is incredibly underrated.

>>714944145
It should absolutely be fucking optional a game is a game.
Shoving a narrative down your throat is the most pretentious, lazy, wannabe way to tell a story in a videogame.

It simply sucks, and when it affects the gameplay negatively like Sony trash, you can suck a fucking dick, I ain't playing it.

>>714944369
Yep. If the story is more detailed than a Sly Cooper game it can fuck off.

>>714943814
>No, I'm gonna run from the overwhelming success produced by Millennials and focus on some shit nobody played
I knew you'd run. You fucking queer.

>it's not millennial writing because it wasn't written by a millennial
You stupid fucks. Millennial writing is exactly that, an out of touch generation trying to cater to the millennials. It's main characteristic is being insincere and filled with irony so the base material can't be criticised under the guise of "lol you're taking it way too seriously".
It also has the staple of using self awareness as a crutch for the lack of actual humor. Or being obnoxiously self referential.
Another thing that plagues millennial writing is excessive use of references and 4th wall breaks. They are cheap motifs to make the audience feel like they are part of the world building or story.

>>714942869
>They all just call it problematic and shit on it.
You're talking about millennials, anon. The people saying that shit are the same age as you. Millennials created this entire tumblr-but-irl culture you like to attribute to zoomers.

>>714944487
But as has been shown pretty much every game you say was written for milennials flopped. Who's buying them? Not milennials at least.

>>714944347
That's not true anon
We were all putting shit on our phone or sharing ridiculous stuff online.
Corporate raping the internet raped their minds as well I feel.

Once Faceberg and phones came into the spotlight it's like everyone became a sanitized little zombie, likely because, subsconsciously, they knew they were being monitored.
Either by their parents through Faceberg or by randoms on the street with cameras on their phones.

You faggots aren't ever going to take responsibility for your own generation's obvious flaws. Just co-opt what the last 3 decades were in a cheap mockery of the genuine article and act like the next generation of forever children the way you label millenials.

>>714944528

>>714944460
Thank you for your strawman. Depression Quest is milennial-core

>>714944528
Yeah, milennials never bought video games

>>714944528
For the exact reason why I say it's made by out of touch gen xers/boomers.
Most games right now are made by committee. Instead of having a single writer who knows their shit and crafts a narrative to the point of obsession, they have a bunch of people in a room analyzing the latest trends and cramming them into the writing process.
They saw that shit like Rick & Morty and MCU were insanely popular and tried to mimick their style.
This all started when the old school publishers retired and the industry got filled with people who were raised on videogames, so they think that they know exactly what the consumers want. Well, that and Blackrock burning billions of dollars to "force behaviors" but that's the other side of the same coin.

>>714944829
So the problem is with Gen Xers, OK. Thanks.

>>714944873
Yes, but it's still millennial writing because it's trying to reflect trends popular within that generation.

>>714944528
Only faggots buying gen x trash is women and other gen exers.
Millennials play Mount and Blade, Starsector, Battle Brothers, etc. I have never seen a single zoomer or gen xitter in those communities.
Zoom zooms play garbage like fnaf and whatever the latest slop is.

>>714944932
But milennials aren't buying it.

This guy is in his late forties.

>>714944147
>They haven't made any good music, books, or movies
Millennials are too busy churning out smut, pornography, clickbait and 3 hour long video game essays at an astounding rate to make any good media. Millennials unironically have to be the least creative genre and it's probably because they have consumed a lot more media than other generations have, much of it being totally depraved shit you'd never see anywhere else but on the internet.

>>714938353
zoomers are going to be even worse than millennials and it may not be even just the result of them being all that bad. It's simply that they have to get through millennial HRs to get writing position in games after previously having to get literature or creative writing degree etc. the only people who can run that gauntlet are complete fruits.

>a-actually chud millennials (30-45 years old btw) have absolutely no cultural influence and zero power over what's created

why are they such a failure?

>>714945519
Hmmm. I would say they became their parents. They were the Punks rebeling against "sold out hippes" who would grow to be Reagan voting republicans after rebeling agins establishment in the 50/60s. And simmilar stuff happend with Punks they were rebeling to be outrageous as possible but then the ageing happening and Ironically they became the establishment. SLC Punk shows this well.

It just depends how you do it. All of my game's plot is done in stylish little dialog vignettes when interacting with npcs, but they're all completely optional. It helps to give the game a more distinct sense of character and giving more thematic coherency to the setting. Otherwise, you can just ignore npcs entirely and complete your quota for each day.

dumb autismo, "millennial writing" is a particular style/manner not the age of a writer

>>714947975
The inevitable result of progressive stacking.
When social clout is accorded to those who can claim marginalization, people will falsely identify.

This shit's bussin yo, I'd be fuckin' with that no cap.

I think millennial writing is being confused for writing that was made to appeal to millennial consumers, ergo the writers would be gen x at least

As another anon said, Millennials were systematically destroyed by the Powers That Be after their potential during Occupy Wall Street was revealed. It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that every hope and claim made towards Millennials evaporated overnight in 2011.

Millennials are a generation of hikkis, they got slapped by the System for being too uppity and decided to give up and consoom because of it.

>>714963889
yeah it smells like an old desperately trying to prove millennial writing was really just a myth this whole time. maybe it makes him feel younger and less dated.

>>714950110
Nah, Half-Life 2 does it correctly. Relatively short dialogue scenes. You're trapped in a room but at least you can run around and fiddle with things.

OP thinks that zoomer-core that very obviously came into the market as they grew into the major consumer segment is somehow still millennial despite all evidence. dude sounds like a fucking boomer blaming everything on 1 generation he doesn't even know how old they are

>>714966472
Middle class today has the purchasing power of the boomer minimum wage.

I started playing this because I heard it was good. This writing is unbearably bad.

>>714938505
these games were all made by gen x. millennials were still teens when these came out

>>714941016
It shows. As good as it was it had that shitty post moder subversion of expectation that shaped entertainment popular among millennials

>>714966262
avocado toast, sourdough bread, tumeric/macha latte, cold brew coffee, kombucha, smash burgers, chia seed pudding, poke bowls, edamame,
If you can't handle IPA then go with candy flavored sour "beer"
bubble tea might be more of a zoomer thing IDK.

Watch old movies

>>714968246
wow, that's so uninteresting

>>714967885
you are like adam and eve who ate the forbidden fruit and learned of nakedness and learned shame where you had none before

Millennials are the most cringe and pathetic generation:


>many of them are manchildren who never grew up
>treat Harry Potter like holy scripture
>blames the boomers for all their problems
>where the people responsible for pushing woke culture in media
>attempts to mask their insecurities behind goofy cynicism and irony
>their entire sense of humour is “lol I’m depressed and want to die”
>get easily offended at everything
>many bought into the anti-natalism meme
>the ones who HAVE had kids are usually awful parents who raise iPad kids

Zoomers are a genuine improvement over millennials because they at least have some self-awareness and they’re pushing against a lot of the millennial cultural movements.

>>714968586
from what i've seen zoomers have become an extremely polarized generation thats more or less split right down the middle
on one hand, you have those that see the societal rot, the jews, the ultimate scam that is our "society"
and they hate it more than anything else.
on the other hand you have those that have fallen for the brainwashing of previous generations.

>>714960785
>no mention of funkos
4/10

>>714968721
Speaking as a Gen Z, I think brainrot is something that’s embraced ironically and mocked. We’re making fun of how badly the Millenials are doing at Raising Gen Alpha. Gen Beta has just recently started being born, since Gen Z is starting to have kids now, so hopefully they’ll be better.

I don’t think Gen Z is perfect, but they’re an improvement.

>>714936475 (OP)
writing is only going to get worse, not better

Reminder that gen x are just a continuation of boomers and are basically responsible for all the shit media we have today, while somehow avoiding any and all pushback. Once the boomers finish dying off they're going to start catching way more shit as people realise they're spiritual kikes just like the generation before them.

>>714968978
hate to burst your bubble, but every generation fucks it up in their own unique way

>>714968586
on the upside at least millennials made 4chan what it is. or was.

What do zoomers have other then corpo owned Instagram/Snapchat/TIkTok brainrot?

>>714969157
True, but I feel millennials made the gravest mistake by raising Gen Alpha as IPad kids. Zoomers seem to be more aware of the damaging psychological affects of constant internet access, probably because they’re struggling through it themselves.

Millennials are just infantile, which is why you see the middle aged ones beginning to have an existential crisis now.

>>714969280
I feel bad for zooms everything is so fake and gay for them. They don't care though they love their slop

>>714949149
Those are made by older people.

>>714941840
workaholics owns

>>714969506
Most zoomers grew up pre-social media. Only the younger zoomers are brainrotted.

>>714969280
I know it's mostly gone now but the Millennial Internet was truly something wondrous to behold, nothing at all like the corpo social media advertising hellscape we presently find ourselves in.

We won't see a resurgence in quality writing until authors start reading the source materials for the work there emulating, instead of copying a copy of a copy of a copy ad infinitum.

>>714969280
one of the few good things millennials managed to do was create the old internet.
its impossible for zoomers to compete with the gigacorp hellscape thats taken over the rest of the internet, so the ones that are truly free end up coming to places like this instead.

kinda funny how millennials get all the blame for shit the gen X does while nobody gives a fuck about gen X

Well this is embarrassing.

That's because shitskin turdworlders and Zoomers are the ones making these kinds of threads after watching that shitposting Aussie's video.

>>714936475 (OP)
The problem is companies don't value good writing, so they hire the cheapest available writers, who unsurprisingly turn out to be bad writers.

If companies valued creativity art over profit you'd seen an increase in writing quality, regardless if "millennials" are writing or not

>>714940854
Who the fuck likes this shit unironically?

>>714936705
Any of those corny 90s and 2000s style games that tried to appeal to millenials and would have stories like "im a super soldier, but actually heres a plot twist im not super at all" or "i have to collect all the macguffins while listening to the sad back stories of these villages then find out the bad guy is actually the real me and im a clone" or "im just a cool guy with a big sword who doesnt give a fuck about anyTHING OH SHIT IS THAT MY TWIN BROTHER WE ARE SWORN ENEMIES" that type of played out slop

>>714936705
God of War Ragnarok, Spiderman 2, in movies, anything capeshit in the past decade, anything influenced by Scott Pilgrim.

Broad themes/commonalities: lots of quips, characters who seem "in on the joke", lack of seriousness even in serious situations, irony and detachment, characters tone policing and dropping SJW stuff in the middle of nowhere (The Batman is the best example of this), an overall "flatness" as characters are treated like real people and the writeres are reluctant to treat them in some uncouth or disrespectful way (e.g., a millennial will not write about a woman being raped because that is the same thing as a woman being raped and you need to Respect All Women).

>>714972168
The people actually praise those stories have literally never read a book give em a break.

>>714972392
In fairness spiderman never really took anything seriously and was always full of quips

>>714972552
Im not gonna give them a break. These people get ass mad when you dont constantly validate their obsession with these mid as fuck rehashed cheesy stories and validate them by saying yeah bro so true bro its so soulful, only games from your childhood are good buddy

>>714972392
I started watching Tokusatsu like Kamen Rider recently and it's kind of shocking how goofy it looks but how seriously the characters in the show treat the scenarios. Modern superhero Summer blockbusters with hundred million dollar budgets can't have their characters treat their scenarios seriously without quips and jokes to show they are too cool for it meanwhile Kamen Rider has guys fighting with plastic swords and getting an emotional response from me.

>>714972350
Kind of yeah. they were the generation who never really had a war, or a depression, or anything bad to them, so they invented grunge, and thrash metal, and violent cartoons, and tabletop games where they could pretend to be hardened cyberpunks without leaving their living rooms.
They're just Beavis and Butthead IRL.

Is the joss whedon quippy mcu shit really anyworse than the anime sloppa /v/ pretends is good

>>714972653
That's factually wrong. Spider-Man does take things seriously when he needs to, he just likes to shit talk sometimes until things gets serious. He's one of the better written and more serious characters in Marvel when he isn't being flanderized.

Mcu writing: something serious happens. Followed by a joke to ease the tension
Anime writing: "DID YOU ACCIDENTALLY LOOK AT MY BOOBS B BAKA" BUT SAKURAKAKUKO CHAN IT WAS AN ACCIDE-- ACK"

I hate quippy 'He's right behind me, isn't he?' writing, but I also hate 'gritty' try hard stuff. I want boundless optimism, joy & positive Heroism.

I’m pretty sure this person is lying about who they are. They are likely underage, or around 20. Not one real picture. What are the odds Sony never met this female zoomie?

in the first 30 minutes of half life 2 there is a perfect example of "millennial" writing

That's a kickstarter backer message isn't it?

>>714938923
this is leftist writing tho

>>714936475 (OP)
The problem is that zoomers cannot read and therefore cannot write. Say goodbye to millennial writing style and hello to AI writing style.

>>714973641
Gen Z can barely read, let alone write.

>>714973696
Not a single millennial was involved in Half-Life 2. The oldest millennial was maybe just out of college when that game came out.

zoomers are near sub-IQ so it will be even worse. social media and the internet has fried their brains. their kids will be raised on AI and then we're just cooked. gg no re all dumb and totally dependent on Big Tech to do anything (just like they want).

thats my point.
it's been a thing for nearly 20 years now.

>>714936475 (OP)
>will we finally see a resurgence in gritcore games?
Late to the thread, but I predict they'll soon come up with the idea of 'zoomer writing', which will of course be millennials writing and zoomers consuming, just like millennial writing is Gen X writing and millennials consuming.

Unironically most game dialogue would be better if you asked AI to write in it the style of X author. And not because AI is good at writing.

>>714971393

They don't because the audience watch what they make anyway, and I doubt they even see the problem at this point. You can tell by how absolute dogshite writing and storytelling is praised, defended and acceepted in all media nowadays
