Thread 722892495

Why do gamers claim to hate bloated, cinematic games, but also turn their nose at a game with deep, complex arcade-style gameplay? They then proceed to waste hundreds of mindless hours in some massive skinner-box open world AAA slop with the depth of a puddle.

bump for arcade gamers

Make a proper arcade thread instead of this stale mork bait.

Because the "shallow as a puddle" crowd are a niche group of autists going the same was as the militant athiests of the 2000s. The average gamer has no idea that you don't enjoy open world games.

fixed that for ftfy

Arcade games are slop. The phone games of their era.

I fucking hate arcade games like the older Marios, metal slug, castlevania, megaman, etc. They are too packed with shit you can't even breathe.

>>722892495 (OP)
most people don't want depth and complexity, they want entertainment they can just kick back and enjoy

>>722892495 (OP)
because arcade games tend to be hard and people dont like being faced with the fact that they might suck at games.

You really look at a game like galaga or donkey Kong and think it has more than 1 or 2 balls of gameplay?

>>722893656
perfect
those games were short af but at least were games and not walking sims

>>722892495 (OP)
The actual reason is that most arcade games have to be emulated which is a major hurdle for 80% of gamers. If they can't buy it on steam or download it from psn they're not touching it.

Games are games, not second jobs.
ARYANcade design respects this and lets you enjoy the rest of your day.

People enjoy some story and "down time" with their games. Not all games have to satisfy the same itch, there's room for both arcade games and Animal Crossing.

I tried playing the Ninja Turtles cabinet at Walmart and they kicked me out after 15 minutes even though the game is longer than that.

>pay to win slop

meds

>>722892495 (OP)
None of those words mean anything. A simple game can be good, a complex game can be good. The obligatory 'it depends' applies here

>>722892495 (OP)
>deep, complex
lol, lmao
They're about as deep as pic related

>>722895494
you can do this reductive shit to every game

>>722895494
Doom is deep.

>>722895163
There's plenty of arcade games on steam

>>722895535
if doom is deep what is marathon?
