Why has videogame technology regressed overtime?

>>718216032 (OP)
Graphics sell more games than technology

Trannies and indians started overtaking AAA which is why there are barely any good games after 2015

>>718216072
And other lies jews tell

>>718216032 (OP)
they focus more on sovless gimmicks these days

>>718216146
he's right though

let's see fences in modern TW

>>718216032 (OP)
It used to be that when a problem came they tried to solve it.
Now they don't bother especially when it's even more of a headache trying to figure out why the problem is there since higher-ups force them to outsource a ton of crap to indians and whatnot to reduce costs as much as possible.

>>718216146
the most profitable market for video games is people who don't like video games

That kind of useless shit is the reason Rome I was so horrendously expensive to made and ended up costing CA its independence, Fundamentally is the same shit as ray-traced puddles or ices cubes that melt in real-time : useless shit that doesn't make a better game.

It's not fully a lie, for Total War I would rather play Rome 2 because it has more updated, and more accurate visual candy.

Gaming fundamentally broke around 2014 or so and basically became a series of pyramid schemes where the primary incentive was becoming a marketer for games, rather than the games actually being a product of any sort of value as a game to be played.
In addition: There's a massive problem of "scale" for current gen titles that makes it basically mandatory to afford the scam of how much marketing your game "legit" can cost.
In short
>Games exist as an advertising career opportunity
>Games need to make good ads before anything else
>Advertising (Games) is broken because google killed the internet. (Where you find the most gamers).

>>718216032 (OP)
Big problem with Total War is there's almost no one left at the company who can work the engine in any meaningful way. This translates to "if we can't fix or replicate, just ax it" mindset.

>>718219252
>That kind of useless shit is the reason Rome I was the best in the series
FTFY

>>718219489
Also this isn't even a schizo take.
You try to look at actual discussions and ads for games and they talk the exact same. The incentive structure is fucked and I can't blame people too bad for that either on account of the games being shit, and if you are in the misfortune of being on a console these days you're basically at the mercy of your platform of choice to drip feed you old games before shit broke.

you don't like GAMES AS SERVICE, guys?

>>718219578
CA got Feral Interactive to do Rome 1 and 2 for iOS so it's possible to do SOMETHING with it.

>>718216032 (OP)
Because most of the money game makes is in its first days after release. In order to maximize that companies put a lot of effort into graphics visuals and generating hype. They dont care if u finish thr game they just want you to jump onto the hype train.

Because of this the focus inside company completely shifted. You no longer need custom engine C nerd to make ur game run on washing machine you need artists to make you hype promotion material and streamers to play your game and marketing deparment to generate hype.

This indirectly changed the culture of gaming. Since most of ur workforce are liberal artists, marketing and project people as opposed to C coding nerds your whole game ends up tainted. Its no longer product of bunch of dudes making games dudes like but product of a souless company for thr masses.

And the biggest problem in all of this is the audience that keeps buying slop. Games are no longer for us anon. Its for women, trannies and basedmales

Lack of talent and passion.

I love the fact ballistics just disappeared and everything is now treated like arrows with an arc.

>>718219252
Yeah, presentation is useless. Just roll dice.

Total war is, has been, and always will be: SLOP.

Dealing with firing lines was too complicated for new players and people just bitch and moaned about black powder units not firing due to friendly fire

>>718220413
*paid overtime

>>718216032 (OP)
That's just how the industry has always worked, FPS games are still flat out getting 100 people on a server when Planetside could have 600 people in a single battle in 2003

>>718220105
The way the game models ballistics is fine, the problem is that the projectile speed for firearms is generally set way too low for some reason.

>>718216032 (OP)
We had peak at Medieval. 3D added so many problems to Total War.

>>718220413
We need worse conditions for people in the gaming industry. I don't just mean programmers but marketing and management has to crunch too.
Apparently this is the only way to make good games.

>>718220747
It is when its art from adversity rather than piss poor management.

>>718220712
so damn zased

>>718219252
>a strategy game putting in mechanics that mimic the military tactics of the day is meaningless crap like melting ice cubes
Fuck you retard.

>>718219006
Things like this is a nice touch and not difficult to do, it's just an animation shift on a collision check. Wish more devs would add some nuance to their games.

>>718219991
this is a TOTAL WAR game?

>>718219918
>Normal chocolates
I ain't eating that

>>718220441
Black powder units in Medieval 2 would just stand around and fidget forever instead of firing because 1 soldier out of 80 was an inch or two out of formation, it's sad to see them just give up when it could be easily fixed with a single patch.

>>718225393
look she needs this.

AI will fix this

>>718216032 (OP)
Because in the old days, games companies were ran by nerds who wanted to make things they thought were fun
Nowadays, the companies are owned by businessmen who throw money at a team to create something safe that the branding and marketing team thinks the public will buy

>>718225482
Literally 99% of game dev seems to be this way
>implement idea
>execution is flawed so it doesn't work perfectly
>don't even consider just tweaking and fixing it next time around
>scrap it instead and replace with some out of place rpg mechanic instead to cover up you removed part of the game
>make 3x as much profit thanks to retarded kids and browns
>repeat

>>718219991
...that firing formation

>hey buddy sorry for blowing half of your head off, i was actually "aiming" at the enemy

Money, women, politics. In that order.

I am playing Medieval 2 Total war from 2007, I will not buy modern slop.

Corporate greed

TABS is the most sophisticated strategy game of the modern age

hi dad

TW needs a rape and pillage mechanic.

>>718216032 (OP)
'fraid so

>>718216032 (OP)
no one builds their own engine anymore so it's all creatively bankrupt since every game is just an asset flip

>>718216032 (OP)
Jeets aren't capable of creating PS2 tier games.

>>718216032 (OP)
the latter is more technologically advanced doebeit
the first webm is just pure manual animations and and the second uses some algorithm (boids i think)
