>he still hasn't accepted the fact that a game selling well these days is a sign of low quality slop by default

not always the case

>>715608095 (OP)
you enjoyed the slop of yesteryear, just accept it

>>715608205
There was almost no slop in the yesteryear in the first place, only Americans kept buying shit like Madden

>>715608095 (OP)
The only slop is red dead and animal crossing. Cod is an actual game. I don't like it, but it's not a movie game. Cod is better than those old gay platformers too

>>715608262
Madden is a game. Final fantasy is a walking sim.

>>715608305
>it's not a movie game
>litterally started the trend of hyper-linear and hyper-scripted action setpieces that everyone tried to copy since cod4

>>715608095 (OP)
Who the fuck is playing CoD? What is the appeal?

>>715608095 (OP)
wait, was Dragon Quest 7 really the best selling console game of 2000?
wtf.
I know Japan loves the series, but did that really carry it internationally?
This makes me wish I was better at remembering release date so I could think of what it was going up against

>>715608539
Yeah it was #1 thanks to Japanese sales alone

>>715608095 (OP)
genuinely had no idea call of duty was still popular. those people really live completely different lives from my own

>>715608471
the gameplay is still the best on the shooter market
that the studio is completely creatively bankrupt is a whole other thing

>>715608095 (OP)
Japan slop vs American slop

>>715609570
aka kino vs kusoge

>>715608095 (OP)
>>715608262
Mortal kombat slop
JRPGs slop
GTA slop
Kiddie platformer slop

>>715608095 (OP)
What this is showing me is that there was already a demographics paradigm shift in 2002
Prior to that year, for genre representation, we have 4 platformers, 5 RPGs, 2 fighting games, and 1 survival horror.
Then in 2002 - 2005, none of those genres are present.
Instead we have 2 racing games and 2 open world sandboxes

>>715608095 (OP)
Why is tendie pack-in shovelware like pii sports and double dass included

>>715608095 (OP)
Everything went wrong from 2002 onwards

>>715609407
It's the same NPCs that buy the same ball games every year

>>715608539
>>715609172
Not it wasn't.
Pic related.

>>715612061
Pokemon is a handheld game and the OP image clearly says home console

>>715612139
How embarrassing.

>>715612061
Mobile gaming has always been slop huh

>>715608095 (OP)
damn, 2007 really was the beginning of the end.

After that is was just COD and whatever rockstar shits out.

>>715610418
Go back

>there are now people on /v/ that were never alive when a good game was the best selling game of the year
