This shit is so common in mid games that it’s now beyond assumption and any game that has fags, commies, or niggers in it is automatically mid

Even in 2025 the left still cant meme kek you just take memes made by your superiors and edit it to fit your side.

>>721064372 (OP)
you can easily tell how bad a game is gonna be just by listening to the VAs and their dialogue

>>721064372 (OP)
Tencent, big publisher, EGS timed exclusive, 3rd party launcher, remaster, mobile port, crossplay

The fact that nobody mentioned AI voice acting is concerning.
AI is what's killing games, not microtransactions or Early Access.

>>721066346
AI jeet.

>>721064372 (OP)
Early Access
Souls
and any singleplayer game that has a "roadmap"

>>721066425
elaborate further

>>721066309
Have you considered no one gives a shit about if a game uses AI assets, often being unable to tell the difference too?

Trailer with no gameplay. You release a trailer with no gameplay I ignore your game.

>>721066535
>>721066536
Nobody wants your AI slop, jeets.

>>721066759
can you elaborate a bit more on that?

when /v/ likes it

>>721066309
What a dumb thing to say. I've never even seen a game with AI voice acting.

devs have bluesky accounts.

>>721066948
whats the difference between that and text to speech anyway?

>>721064852
fpbp. I literally just avoid most new games because they all have previews or streams that reveal this to be the kinds of people who made it.
it's gotten so bad now that Trump wants to cancel video games to stop this spread, and even threatens with an actual holocaust against the LGBT community. (I hope he does it)

>>721067075
id wish the same fate upon furries but i fear how much of our global infrastructure would break down as consequence.

>>721065439
took me a bit

>>721066346
nvidia's aishit is lowering the entry barrier to incompetent jeets because you can auto raytrace everything and upscaling can salvage it back up to somewhat playable framerates

>>721067304
Nobody's talking about NVidia upscalers you stupid jeet. Nobody wants generative AI slop in games used for art or voice acting or music. Get the fuck out of here back to your DALL-E threads.

>>721065964
hand holding with becky

>>721067358
it's literally ai you tard
i was trying to salvage your irrelevant argument about ai when this is actually what's making games worse

tells-based boss fights

>>721067369
she's literally 6

>>721067495
Kill yourself retarded AI jeet.
Upscalers help low-end cards achieve better performance.
Generative AI, like AI voices, actively hurt the quality of games. Fuck off.

Arma3 is only $3 right now
What they dont tell you is that you need most of the dlc to join all the good servers

>>721067881
imagine obsessing over ai slop that doesn't fucking exist in any relevant game but actively shilling for inviting jeet outsourcing

>>721066948
>I've never even seen a game with AI voice acting.
The only example I can think of is The Finals.

Nigger asses
Sorry buddy I'm not playing woke shit

>>721064372 (OP)
Pic related.
Everywhere yet not a single good game.

>>721068429
even though the games are ass, i believe her performances are generally solid, not an additional feature that further soil the pile of shit shes involved with and id even go as far to assert its the inverse.

>>721068429
>not a single good game

I'm not a fan of her likeness being recreated in every other AAA game from the last decade but she did do VA work for Halo 3, MGS4 and Fallout: New Vegas.

>>721068002

The four horsemen.

>if you can not control your character within the first 15 minutes

>>721064372 (OP)
If it doesn't make /v/ seethe uncontrollably

Having to log into an account to play at all or even worse, to connect to "online leaderboards" in a single player game

>kernel level anti cheat you have to remove manually
It's bad enough it's kernel level. I don't want to open command prompt and run codes to remove it. I'm lazy and hate having to track all instances of it to remove it.

>>721068429
I sort of liked the EA Jedi games.

>>721064372 (OP)
>game won't play on my sega genesis

>>721064372 (OP)
Not-mes.

The first thing I do in every game is try to walk off an edge and fall to my death. If the game stops me, I uninstall.

>>721064372 (OP)
Game has screen tearing when its locked to ur monitor's rate.

screen tearing that can only be gotten rid off with v sync is the ultimate sign of a game being made by complete retards

>>721069154
i accept your concession
dlss and rt is objectively ruining games no matter how much you cope

>>721064372 (OP)
women and racial minorities as anything but mobs

Anything that is a JRPG or overall japanese tbqwyf

>>721064372 (OP)
>US based publisher

a game timing you like dead rising, every game with that gives me a soft willy

>>721068429
easy to work with

What are your black flags /v/?
>black flag definition: a small piece of information that's enough for you to instantly drop all desire to play a game

Stronger than a red flag, basically.

>game was made in the Anglo-American world
Guaranteed fucking shit without exception

>>721064372 (OP)
Game has people working solely as "writers"

>>721064372 (OP)
>gacha
>horny tranime slop
>Japanese "writing"

>>721065478
I've heard it called "bisexual lighting"

>>721066309
I'd change this to be any form of voice acting. The Hollywoodization of games has been a huge detriment. AI voice acting could actually save us, especially if its generated in real time.

>>721075136
AI voices still struggle with tone and inflection

>>721075193
Yeah, that's what makes them sound cool

>>721075246
Cheap and soulless maybe

>>721064372 (OP)
Native mod support

>>721066309
AI voices are the least offensive form of AI-involvement in video games.
Hell they may as well be completely acceptable actually.

>>721075193
That's the problem of the user, not the program. Just generating enough samples to use and some audio engineering can make AI voice very close to real voice

>>721075486
Sorry Ganjeet im not interested in lazy roboslop

>>721069993
You like playing with dog turds.

>>721064372 (OP)
When theres a number next to a cell

It's so tiring bros. I just want a better ds1 adventure action rpg

Thank you

>>721076415
Only the bottom two are me, sorry AI tranny

>>721065964
There are some actually good games like that, but it's rare.

>>721076468
Turkey is a bowling term common for Americans

No gameplay in trailers
No ui visible in trailers
Realistic gun sounds (I don't like realistic shooters)
"souls-like" (I don't like corpse run mechanics or action combat with lack of i-frames and long animation locks)
Overly sexualized characters as a selling point (I don't play ecchi/porn games, not my thing)

>>721064372 (OP)
Steam has a designated section for them on the game's page, although they use this light brown color instead of red.

>rogue like

>>721076679
For three strikes in a row, I'd replace "female protag" with Any hint of non-straight content in promotional material or articles

>>721065964
>Look up the supposely devs

>>721065009
Devs should add a link to the >>>/vg/ general about their game, they can accomplishments this using the 4chan API then sort the JSON with a keyword match for the name of their game
