Gaming is dead. Press F to spit

>>719019329 (OP)
it's the best it's been since like 2013 what are you talking about

you're bored so now all gaming is dead for everyone? you should kill yourself

>>719019329 (OP)
Only Xbox and PC. PS5 and Switch 2 are thriving.

>>719019329 (OP)
I've been hearing this for over a decade now

>>719019398
good one

I meant dead creatively. Yes, there will always be cattle and zombies to keep the business alive. These people will gladly eat up candy crush and gacha. I don't consider them human.

>>719019529
>Switch 2
stop lying to yourself

My penis won't listen to reason

indies and AA are in a better spot than they've been for a long time imo. it could to some degree be a genre thing though, the genres i like have been doing really well lately but i might be blind as to what's going on in genres i don't care about like fps.

aaa has been in decline but it's been in decline since the early 2010s so that's nothing new. if anything it's just finally getting what it deserves with the bottom falling out.

the two failed entertainment units are dead
nintendo and PC are still going stronger than ever

>>719019329 (OP)
I actually really like my PS5. I didn't own a PS4, so I am having a lot of fun playing old classics.

>aaa has been in decline but it's been in since the early 2010s
Agree, that is around the time the woke movement started. And game developers started listening to loud, annoying minority groups instead of the actual fans.

>>719019398
2017 was the last great year

>>719020393
you're brown and poor

Works on my PC.

>>719020913
nuh-uh

>>719020773
Anon...if actual fans are outnumbered by normies, than those actual fans *are* the loud, annoying minority group.

Consoles ARE the reason gaming died. If was inevitable. Thanks to consoles we got paid online, always online, the creation and growth of tribalistic brand loyalty where games take a back seat to plastic box fandom.
Consoles also opened the door for normie NPC consoomers access the hobby.
Add to all of that, the exclusives bullshit that exacerbated the whole tribalistic brand loyalty psychology. Putting gamers against each other arguing over which plastic fucking box was better instead standing side by side demanding better games.
Once the hobby was overrun with NPC sheep brained consumers, the companies realized they could do whatever they wanted with no repercussions.
Gaming as peak when it was PC only

pc fag only play competitive gacha slop
fuck off

>>719022045
Ahh the console warriors screams out in pain when the truth is dropped his tiny head.
>Poor console warrior thinks PC can only play gacha slop
You have to work to be this delusional.
What's your favorite plastic box? I'm betting you're a snoy. There aren't any Xbots left. Tendies only seethe when PCchads brag about emulation their slop kids games. Sooo, you have to be a snoy.

>>719022290
>acts like people actually play singleplayer games on pc

>>719020913
More like 2007

>>719022578
>Thinks steam is the only source of games on PC
>Pretends other stores don't exist
>Pretends pirating doesn't exist
>Pretends emulation doesn't exist
>Pretends PCchads only play steam games
Keep reaching snoy. It's been a while, but I'm hoping we'll get to see you falling on the tried and true Bloodborne defence. Is that coming next?

>>719021879
Consoles predate PCs by decades.

>>719023176
>the main platform is irrelevant and I'm always right
btfo jeet you lost

>>719023661
>Main platform
Why yes that would be PC. PC dominates by huge numbers worldwide. Now you're talking about shitty plastic boxes, pretty sure the Ninpedos got you beat snoy.
Back to the drawing board you go.

>>719023176
NTA, but he's right — PC is the main money-sucking platform. I don't see console people playing online and burning money as much as a normal PC player.

>>719023878
PC market is smaller than the console market now. It's the smallest scene in gaming.

>>719024259
>PC players getting games during 70% of summer sales and other sales... Or outright pirating
>Wastes money
Meanwhile
>Console plebs pay annual subscriptions just to talk to other players and access online games
>Pay $80 plus tip for shitty games
>Isn't wasting money
Hmmmmmmm

Somewhere around 2010-2011 was the last time I remember gaming being like how it used to be. Ever since then I really haven't cared about gaming. Everything went to shit in 2012. SC5 sucked dick and changed characters for no reason. Halo 4 sucked. BL2 flanderized all notable characters from the first game. AC3 was fine but I really didn't like the setting at all and 2 and brotherhood were better in almost every way anyways. ME3 was bad for obvious reasons. The only game that was somewhat fun to me was Far Cry 3 since it cut all the annoying elements from 2 out. Games I actually got hyped for started diminishing in quality and I stopped caring after that. And I was right to because all those franchises went downhill. No new IP has really managed to pique my interest either. I've been happy just playing vidya on my 6th and 7th gen consoles. I've managed to find more hidden gems I've missed during those times and I've had a major blast.

>>719024369
LMAO you console warriors are so delusional. Is it willful ignorance by chance?
Listen sweety...
>Number 1 platform worldwide is MOBILE
>Number 2 platform worldwide is still PC
>Number 3 is consoles
Like it not, that's the reality.

>>719024414
What are you discussing here? Purchasing games or the total amount of money spent? You could argue that games are cheaper on Steam, but nothing comes close to how much is spent on competitive games, so it doesn't make much sense to argue that PC games are cheaper since people buy them and don't play them, or don't buy them and spend double or triple that amount on Fortnite or CS.
There's a reason Sony is throwing so much money away trying to break into the competitive market: they know how much money the PC market generates.

>mobilefag trying to pretend hes superior to anything

>>719025251
I don't like it anymore than you do. But whether they're gacha or not mobile has a fuck ton of games and it is the most used platform out there.
It's going to bigger too as phones get more and more powerful.

>>719024414
Your information is 10 years out of date.
PC gaming is dying.
