new games... good

>>717702368 (OP)

Fallout 1 and 2 are way worse than the modern games. Sure the writing is good, but the games are ass to play.
In general no combat should just be 'percent chance to hit' that's a terrible mechanic

>>717702368 (OP)
Gta 5 is good

We need more cute black girls in vidya.
We need more cute girls in general tho.

Short games are good

Ico is trash. Dark Souls 2 is the best Dark Souls.

Vidya is a fun time waster but I wish I had more socially impressive hobbies like playing the guitar

>>717702368 (OP)
I play games to determine their quality. If a game doesn’t look like something I’ll enjoy I don’t play it but I don’t talk shit about it either. I also like discussing games with people even if our opinions differ (i.e I like it but they don’t or vice versa)

>>717704543
Then start playing guitar? What's the issue here? You can do both.

>>717703006

Who is this?

>>717702368 (OP)
The only games worth playing are the small percentage of games that are arcade compatible.

Rhythm, shmup, beatemup,
*gap*
Fighting, racing sim, puzzle,

*big gap*

2D arcade platformer, light gun shooter, sports.

*massive uncrossable chasm*

Everything else (everything not listed above is a walking sim or movie game)

Multiplayer takes less skill because it is graded on a curve. You are compared to the retards around you instead of the edge of human capability.

>>717704543
Playing the guitar isn't even that impressive unless you're in an actual band or running some big youtube music channel.

Sexy female characters is all that matters in vidya, and games like The First Descendant are the highest form of art

>>717704686
It's too over for me.
I'm basically at death's door (29)

>>717704543
It doesnt matter. Everything is about sex appeal. If you're a sexy rhythm game god you're cooler than the incel guitarist

Video game RPGs are nothing but fidget toys for the mentally handicapped. They have not evolved for three decades because retards think being able to deal damage with a yellow beam of light instead of a red beam of light makes a game replayable.

>>717704864
Muh build variety fags are indeed the worst.

a hat in time was boring as fuck

>>717704864
THANK YOU. I would go one step further and say the RPGfication of every game is why contemporary games are way less fun. The developers are lazy and timid so they make the player go on wikipedia instead of giving us set limitations and designing the game around us dealing with it via our skill

>>717702368 (OP)
There's nothing wrong with characters not being fuckable. You can dislike overall designs, but the characters not being fuckable should not be its only disqualifying point.

MMO's are sort of entirely different than other games, and should be viewed as differently as irl tabletop games are to a standard vidya like Mario
They are more like a social club, that year over year disbands or returns with new members.

>>717704807
Nah, you just want garbage slop that plays like shit.

>>717702368 (OP)
If a certain "type" of game has been made already and you copy it without adding major, fundamental changes to the gameplay you deserve to be hanged publicly.
Souls"like" is not a genre, you're just copying Dark Souls.
Metroidvenia is not a genre, you're just copying Metroid and castlevenia (or Hollow knight if the devs are zoomers or mentally ill).
SciFi fps games aren't a genre, you're just copying either Halo, CoD, or Doom.
All those fast paced, dynamic, 3rd person action games with primarily melee combat that rely on dodging and parrying are all just copying Devil May Cry.
You're not original and no one cares about your "unique spin" on an already established idea. Hotline Miami is the perfect example of what a completely original game should look like.
Come up with your own game you creatively bankrupt faggot.

>>717702368 (OP)
90%+ of games play better on arcade stick. Every game that doesnt use both analog sticks should be played on arcade stick. A little known secret is that the only reason dpads and analog sticks exist is because they are cheaper to produce than arcade levers. A dpad costs a couple of cents in the production phase but a good arcade lever costs more than $10 to the manufacturer. So the majority of gamers are spending hundreds of dollars trying to collect the perfect controllers when the best solution, and one that's cheaper if you have some brains, is to build your own arcade stick using the lever and buttons that you prefer. If you use a standard controller you're basically admitting that you're niggercattle.

>>717705478
>All those fast paced, dynamic, 3rd person action games
Yeah, all of those from 20 years ago? They don't make them anymore because of the RPGfication of gaming causing them to devolve into "soulslikes"

non-white people should be completely removed from every video game ever made. Same applies for irl, but none of you blue-board cucks are ready for that discussion.

"Gatekeeping" is synonymous with censorship, and that's a good thing. Gamers lost 11 years ago because we failed to gatekeep (censor) oikophobic ideologues out of the hobby, and you'll lose again for much the same reason.

And what makes you think Classic+ wouldn't just end up as retail 2.0. Season of Discovery was a Classic+-lite and that shit turned into retail 1.5 pretty damn quickly and died pretty fast.

Turn-based combat is enjoyable as it is, most people who hate it have a chip on their shoulder about it more than they have an argument.
Choice only holds meaning when you can't say "yes to all". All these games that offer me the freedom to "choose" what content to engage in at any given time by making it all freely available just make the content worse.

Why is the market shaped by games that flop in sales over and over by being products nobody wants to buy? It is because it is not a free market.

>>717711623
And even indie, which is arguably a "free market," has ideologically-subversive nonsense like Undertale and ENA: Dream BBQ. Explain that.

>>717710785
WoW is a poisoned well, and Blizzard is the poison. They simply incapable of making WoW good again or building off of Classic's base in a meaningful way.

I think an MMORPG's story and single player experience should be almost number 1 priority if companies want to make the next big MMORPG. Nobody wants to play a shitty game for 100 hours only to get into the repetitive end game grind, and sandbox MMORPGs feel lazy and always fucking die because community led content always suck.

Make the game good from the first hour, make a compelling story, world, and characters, that is the only thing that will keep casuals playing your game, and maybe when they reach the end they will just stay for the grind. Right now it feels like MMORPGs are for people that just want to waste time doing repetitive tasks or ERPing.

I remember that Ghostcrawler specifically said that if you wanted to play an MMORPG as a single player game that the new Riot games MMORPG was not going to be for you, at that point I already knew the game was going to flop. Thankfully they got rid of the boomer just wanting to make a wow clone with a lol skin and are remaking the project.

>>717712124

>>717712293
Because you want to make a live service RPG? Right now the genre is not working as is. Other games are able to have a good single player experience and some MMO elements like being able to see other players in real time and co-op with them, but as soon as you get to MMORPGs they all suck as a single player game.

I loved My Friend Pedro, which literally only lasted me a session, like 2 hours or so. More games should be like that, densely designed arcade-style games.

MMOs that are overwhelmingly about endlessly upgrading loot from instanced, holy-trinity-combat dungeons and raids, in which everyone repeats scripted mechanics as if they're at some sort of dance, need to go away. Players should be building ships to go explore procedurally generated islands and building mansions and taming dragons and shit like that.

Games shouldn't have an exit or quit button. But rather a dedicated suicide button where if you push it your character kills themselves and then the application closes. I think it would be more immersive that way.

A 10/10 game does not equal a perfect game. It's simply one that has gone above and beyond in most of its aspects and deserves the score. There's still going to be bugs, there's still going to be some issues with the gameplay. A ten is when those aspects are so minor that they don't affect the score. When the gameplay, control, sound design, music, graphics, every fucking thing comes together. And even better, it's arguably something you can come back to multiple times, and you still consider it a ten. Not a speed runner amount of times, but something you can still come back to a decade later and still love all over again.

People forget review scores are recommendations, not test scores, and some of those who forgot are among the people making the reviews. A 10/10 is not a flawless game, but a game so well-made and enjoyable that it can be recommended to anybody regardless of genre preference and they should have a good time with it (maybe not the best time, but the hitrate of enjoyment is near 100%). Many 9/10s are considered 10s to the people who play them, because they fit perfectly into their tastes, but maybe it doesn't have the universal appeal of a true 10/10. This obviously means that review scores from any given reviewer could skew one point in either direction if you're not perfectly in-tune with them, which is why you need to self-curate a selection of reviewers that align with you instead of taking one person's opinion as gospel or believing that a huge aggregate like Metacritic is worth a damn besides gauging broad sentiment.

>>717714257
TES is great because it circumvents the fact that video game devs can’t write for shit by underpinning the stories with cool metaphysics and unreliable narrators

Video games as a medium need to move away from the mass appeal of movies and more towards emergent narratives like rimworld, kenshi, dwarf fortress and CCDDA.
AI could be an asset to this but it isn't an end all be all. I want totally unique experiences but I want them to still be of quality, games that prioritize intrigue over narrative.

Optional romance mechanics make RPGs better overall. It creates more of an opportunity to define your character, flesh out their personality through who they choose/how they interact with a partner, helps the player invest more into the world/story, and endears a player to the companions way quicker. It also allows devs to use that connection in creative ways, like having your partner get abducted by an antagonist, tying endings into who you chose, and even motivating the player to take certain moral decisions because it supports their relationship/what the companion wants.

While it's not a replacement for an outright good story/well written characters, allowing the player to form a connection with a companion adds an immense amount to the overall experience. Lot of people get annoyed by RPGs that have optional romance, yet those are often the ones with the most success and discussion that actually lasts.

>>717702368 (OP)

we should have had another 2D/sprite focused gen instead of rushing half-baked 3D with the PS1/64.
Videogames never really evolved past the PS2/GC era in general, almost all gameplay styles were explored with this gen, after that things just scaled up with hardware, but the gameplay styles are basically the same.

cp2077 campaign was kino of the highest order and I'm tired of shitting on it

>>717702368 (OP)
I'm actually excited for Ghost of Yotei.

"Wokeness" isn't a problem as people think it is as most "anti-woke" people are just bigoted versions of CinemaSins, stupid, angry and often just comes down to knitpicking. When you see "wokeness" it's because the game itself has failed to captivate you or create interesting characters or gameplay or plot so you resort to knitpicking.

>Black Fatigue
Either you are racist and/or you are sick of POORLY WRITTEN black characters. This is a writing issue not a political issue. The same applies to other poorly written characters who happen to be minorities. Barret Wallace is likable and well written with an awesome character design despite being black. Jill Valentine, Laura Croft, and Samus are all awesome female characters. Sadly a lot of minoirty characters are tokens even if they're the main character and horribly written so you just pay attention to them more than if it was a white man who was horribly written.

>Forced Performative Politics
Writing issue and / or often corporate meddling. A good writer would be able explain politics in an interesting and entertaining way or not make them so obvious (Metal Gear Solid, Deus Ex, etc). The issue isn't that it's "woke" it's that it has shit writing. The problem isn't the politics it's that it has shit writing. And like for all the bitching and complaing about left wing politics, most game devs are liberals, moderates and leftists. A lot of right-wingers focus more on hunting and shit rather than pursuing video game creation and don't go into coding. I personally play indie games where it's people's actual opinions rather than games made by dumb nepo-babies, the out of touch and the corpos.

It's never "go woke go broke" it's almost always been "go broke go woke."

Dreamcast was the last good console. Everything went downhill from there.

Or just be like Shadow of Mordor/War and somehow do both.

Zoomers/Alphas have superior coomer bait in video games. I say this as someone who grew up in Pokemania and convinced my first girlfriend to cosplay as Misty when losing our virginities in middle school. Fortnite's RTL and Meowskulls get priority when I'm on the prowl fiending for some erp.

>>717714423
I remember 6/10 games in magazines felt like a "niche game that only a certain group would like" score. i think that's a fair way of assessing it. A 5/10 would be something so average or basic, and the lower scores from there are the actual bad quality games that tend to have aspects that they fail at.

I'd be completely okay with 80 or 90 dollar games, even 100 dollar games. For the amount of time I get from games, this is actually dead cheap value per hour compared to many other hobbies. Price increases are necessary to keep the industry sustainable, since game development is becoming more and more expensive as expectations rise for new games and inflation causes salaries to necessarily increase to retain talent. Companies like Ubisoft tried to outsource to low CPI countries like India and it didn't work.

The price of games didn't keep up with inflation because the market was growing quickly enough to make up for it. That growth has since slowed, so something else needs to give now.

People whining about price increases being "anti-consumer" (retarded take) should instead be whining about actual anti-consumer practices like selling added cosmetics and content in full-price games and supporting developers that don't ever do that (Nintendo).

>Apex Legends
only became popular to zoomers after the devs removed almost all of the kino movement tech from the objectively superior Titanfall 2.

Have you ever seen montages/clips from Titanfall 2 compared to Apex? Nothing shows how much they dumbed it down more than that.

also Apex was an industry leader for helping popularize cross platform games with the now industry standard over-the-top controller >aim-assist so I will always have disdain against Apex for that too.

>implying humans aren't just another brand of apes
So what are you fucking? Dogs?

Games that require any amount of investment whether it be time or effort is no longer popular or in demand.

The audience for games these days are now people that have little to no attention span. Everyone else who played video games in the past are now older, they don't have the time to play games anymore or no longer have the capacity to do so. I know for a fact I'm not as sharp with my reaction times as I used to be.

People only want instant gratification and results, people don't want to work towards to completing a game or grinding out a reward.

zoomers killed gaming and the site

Battlefield Hardline was the only good Battlefield game after 2

Y'know I agree with you and really liked TF2, but I'm personally tired of the cope. I played TF2 pretty regularly up til a few years ago to get my "sanic fast gameplay" itch in, and the multiplayer was just dead. I'm saying requeueing hours with the same exact lobby dead. I feel like everybody who invokes TF2 is all talk, otherwise the multiplayer would be alive rn. And perhaps therein lies an objective point to be made about the replayability between COD-style death matches vs time-investment battle royales. I simply just want everything to be populated and alive to play, from quake to TF2.

Yeah. Aim assist is cancer. Slam dunk rollerfags head first onto the concrete.

Apex has a brand new game mode as of this week. It introduces respawns and movement devices everywhere on the map, it's hella fun. Very sanic

Definitely a step down from GTA IV, but it is still a pretty good game.

Bioshock: Infinite is a good game because of what it says about America - not racism specifically, where it's the facile platitudes of a white Jewish dude, but in what it communicates about the... communication of ideals, across generations and a population with ends that are often at odds with each other.

The motif of people arguing for games to be considerd art is that they want to disguise the fact they are consuming entertainment products by dressing it up as some intellectual endeavor.
This is similar to wine connaisseurs just wanting to get drunk and feel smart about it or e-thots claiming they needed the money when they just wanted to show of their bodies to strangers.

I don't understand why Mouthwashing was some god tier game. It's just another depression simulator part interactive novel that inspired a weird ass obsession's with depression and rape which just felt like people projecting there own desires or fetish. It's not a game.

>>717718807
My post isn't about wether or not video games are art. It's about why some "gamers" are so keen on arguing for it being art.
Specifically them wanting to selfishly evangelize the way they spend their time since they cannot admit they just do it for primitive reasons like just wanting to have fun.

FFXVI wasn't actually that bad of a game. If anything, its the closest the FF brand has come to feeling like it belongs to PS1 Square since FF12.

From Software games (Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Elden Ring) literally don't have a story.

video games should never have been playable at home. they should have stayed as arcade machines. if you wanted to play a video game, you had to get your ass outside and go somewhere that has one. you had to sacrifice money to play it. but not anymore. today we have multiple generations who grew up being perfectly content staying inside the house all day every day playing video games instead of touching grass, socializing, doing physical activities, etc. it has rotted young people and birthed a horrid new kind of loser, one that grows in percentage with every new generation
