Thread 724830225

Reminder zoomers are the only generation to call these mashing and overwhelmingly prefer souls games

>>724830268
They talk about how much they like Souls games as a flex but then run lvl 200 "builds" and use ever ly cheese strat imaginable to win

>>724830268
reverse flynn effect, my beloved.

Also they are extremely stupid to play souls game and the first week of elden ring showed it, they are quite literally unable to progress when there are no youtubers or internet walkthroughs to guide them, they all got stuck at margrit while some 4chinz autists were already finishing the game.

>>724830225 (OP)
retards button mash and think that's the entire game

>a fight that doesn't play out in a walled off square room
how did action games regress so hard?

>>724830268
Zoomers grew up in the worst time. Souls games gained alot of traction due to shilling alone.

>>724830268
>notices year
>2020
Huh I wonder what happened

>>724831245
I love Osaker

>>724834115
There was already a downward trend. Anyone born after 96 is retarded anyone can see it.

>>724830268
Zoomers have poor taste and shit on anything older than them.

>>724830268
>el matador zoomies are the problem
I leave summon signs for other players to solo bosses for them. AKA: your post and anyone who agrees with you is dogshit at gaming.

>>724831245
>reverse flynn effect
The flynn effect never once measured G increasing and essentially masked actual intelligence flatlining and dropping until it got so low it became impossible to hide the fact the population is getting extremely dumb.

>>724830268
Thank god I wasn't born after the 90s. Can you imagine the hell you to be in to be born in a post 9/11 world?

>>724830225 (OP)
Other action games are button mashers. NG1 and 2 are the exceptions.

>>724834441
Idk I feel like it'd be less shit not knowing what was lost.

>>724830268
The golden age of gaming died around 2009-10.

>>724830225 (OP)
games used to look like this and we really let go of that

>>724830225 (OP)
You know it's not. But that's what it looks like. Accept it and quit whining about how no one understands your masterpiece. It looks more button mashy and brainless than any soulslop or the original GoW.

Try to post something that doesn't look brainless if you want to change minds.

>>724830225 (OP)
Literally everyone who has actually played Ninja Gaiden knows that the combat is so far ahead of modern rollslop combat that it's not even worth having an earnest discussion with anyone who says the latter is better

>>724835956
There's literally no way to look at that webm and think button mashing. You aren't even retarded you're just lying

>>724836242
They're zoomers. Anything except rolling and swinging a giant sword is too much for them.

>>724830225 (OP)
Sekiro is 1billion times better than floppa gayden

>>724837307
counterpoint: sekiro and bloodborne are the only good fromsoft games and the ninja gaiden series is also good

>>724835810
They still do, but they're not marketed to or made by Westerners anymore.

>>724835810
>>724839956
Meant to post this one but same idea

Should I get the ninja gayden master collection? I've never played any of the 3d ng games, just the original NES trilogy, ragebound, and Yaiba.

>>724840014
This looks like trash

>>724840014
Stellar based mogs ninja gaiden so bad

>>724841831
No one asked for your garbage opinion, faggot.

>>724840014
This crap isn't at all comparable to Ninja Gaiden you retarded nigger.

If you're a brain dead zoomer using steam sure

yes but it will fuck you sideways

https://www.nexusmods.com/ninjagaidenmastercollection/mods/386

I honestly believe that as a Master Ninja beater of NGB and a DMD beater of DMC that Souls games have the deeper and more satisfactory gameplay. I could write essays on why this is true but I'll just let the sales numbers of "Fromslop" do the talking.

>>724830225 (OP)
it's learning a few strings and rolling with them for the majority of the game. at least that's what I did.

>>724841964
Who fucking cares about Ninja Gaiden in 2025, you homosexual mongoloid? The new Ninja Gaiden game couldn't even manage to sell 20,000 units on PC. It's a dead franchise for posers and retards that think video games should be balls to the wall hard because they have no real accomplishments and never will amount to anything.

You fucking braindead queer.

>>724840014
So fucking cool
Ng4 would be modern masterpiece if it was made by shiftup

Very interesting.

>>724842108
Yes we know your zoomer brain can't handle it

>>724842074
The existence of the dodge roll invalidates any potential argument in Souls favor.

>>724830225 (OP)
I really like Ninja Gaiden Black. If they could somehow fix the camera, It would be top tier and underwater segments, it would rank even higher.

>>724840014
When is the boss going to do something interesting

>>724842074
terrible bait for defending shit games

>>724842074
>I'll just let the sales numbers of "Fromslop" do the talking.
yes because the best film ever made is avatar
it's lowest common denominator shit. you're not a connoisseur.

now THIS is what I call action gameplay

>>724842394
Notice how souls peasants never post gameplay

>>724842394
HOLY KINO
NG tards could never
>inb4 UT spammers get uppity

>>724842284
Like what?
Grab you mid way without any starting animation or die within a minute like in every flopja gayden game?

This was literally
>slowmo dodge
>mash mash mash one button combo
>throw afew random bullets
>mash mash mash one button combo
>a single parry button hit caused that whole animation

This has more thinking and postioning than any ng/dmc game where you spam few combos over and over mindlessly

>Enemies can attack through pillars.

>>724842394

>>724830268
Those scores are just averages, there are still people with top scores and they're all Souls players.

>>724842190
Who cares? Video game cred isn't real outside of elementary school, you fucking dork.

>>724842479
You act like that Ninja Gaiden doesn't do the exact same shit. I will never understand you losers and why you can't just get a life instead of obsessing over action games as if they're some secret achievement or some shit like that to master.

>>724842863
They're fun games retard

>>724842863
>You act like that Ninja Gaiden doesn't do the exact same shit
you're not allowed to talk any more

>>724842964
Your idea of fun is tryhard and gay, you fucking turdbrained fairy. Get a job and a hobby.

>>724843067
Make me stop, bitch.

>>724842964
Looks like a mobile gacha game lol

I thought about why hitting someone with a weapon in a Souls games feels so much better than hitting someone with a weapon in Ninja Gaiden or Devil May Cry, and I know now that in Fromsoft games they add a certain amount of weight when hitting an enemy that just adds so much satisfaction. Whether it's timing an attack so an enemy is stunned by the full force of a charged heavy or parry an enemy and riposte for massive damage, it's moments like these that make Ninja Gaiden feel like a button masher in comparison. Yeah we get it, Ryu is light as a feather and fast as a bullet but trudging along in heavy clangy armor and swinging around colossal weapons is just more fun.

Am I retarded for liking both NG and From Soft "rollslop?"

>>724842394
Better than Ninja Gaiden 4

>>724843323
This guy gets it and I bet he also has a huge cock.

>>724842394
>no suck to target
This automatically makes it better than modern action games.

>>724843087
>>724843161
I actually play games unlike you souls shitters you who watch streamers who also don't play games

>>724843323
the charged heavies in particular are fucking awful. you can tell they didn't actually make charge animations, they're just playing the regular attack animation at 10% speed which makes it look weaker and uglier
the worst though is when they have one of the bosses jump at you and there's visibly no inertia or gravity, he just slides up and down like a powerpoint transition

>>724843323
You sound like you haven't actually played NG1, Ryu in that game literally has more commitment to his moves than modern Souls games

Action games are like horses
They are outdated and obsolete

>>724842394
Goddamn FromSoft needs to completely scrap and remake the combat system from the ground up for their next Souls game. The way bosses flip around like anime characters while your protag walks around like its 2008 demon's souls is so dumb

>>724843554
You mean the NES game? Come on bruh

>>724843650
Its not dumb
Its way wayyyy more satisfying to beat a god as a lowly human than juggle some punching bag as some demigod

>>724843650
No they should just slow down the bosses and the player back to DS1 levels. Slower = better.

>>724843809
That would require bringing runbacks back to make death feel threatening, which is never gonna happen

>>724843749
a lowly human who can beat gods thanks to the superpower of becoming invincible for a few moments after pressing the roll button

>>724843736
No I mean NG2004/NGB/NGS

>>724843845
Never say never

>>724843749
Dmc 5 is the only juggleslop game zoomer

>>724842394
combat has never been the primary focus of fromsoft games and the fact that their design focus shifted from atmosphere and exploration to action-oriented boss rush games is extremely disappointing
by listening to investors and focusing on a larger general audience, they abandoned their natural strengths

>>724843895
You move around like a fucking insect on meth in those games

>>724843650
>while your protag walks around like its 2008 demon's souls
not counting DLCs, theyve sold the same game 12 times

they arent going to change fuck all when people continue to buy the same game

>>724834461
NG2 is definitely a button masher tho

>>724842863
>Who cares? Video game cred isn't real outside of elementary school, you fucking dork.
It absolutely is and we can see your jealousy L M A O

>>724830268
am i the only one who noticed its a drop of 1 point

>>724844003
You clearly havent even touched NG1, Ryu is heavy as fuck and you'll get yourself killed extremely quickly by leaving yourself exposed in animation recovery

>>724844276
You clearly don't know what the word heavy means, maybe you're anorexic or something.

>>724844553
Try actually playing the game and see for yourself retard.

>>724830268
isn't this just mass immigration from those perpetually retarded countries

>>724844597
I did, it's my third favorite Sonic the Hedgehog game

>>724842816
Even with them being averages, take a look at that fucking Covid drop. Holy moly.

>>724844793
It isn't a covid drop, it's the AI drop. Everyone is using chatgpt to think for them and the scores reflect that.

great game garbage final boss fight

>>724847302

>>724847593
yeah the first game was better, kinda hoped sega would make a sequel, or at least another 3D entry.

>>724846197
>>724847302
We're many years into the nostalgia era of spiritual successors and remake shit, but the fact that there hasn't been a followup to these games is a damn shame.

>>724847593
Remind me what the final boss was in shinobi? Some floating little shit on top of a construction crane or something?

>>724848783
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPfgCEgmKKs
this dude
he's invincible 99% of the time and any openings he had were complete RNG. you had to pray that enemies spawned in and died right when he was open or else you'd do jack shit for damage

>>724849153
Yeah now I remember. IT was a floating shit alright. I remember dying like a dozen times to me not being able to make the jump back from him hovering over a bottomless pit.

>>724842394
>this is what is causing the so-called “action fans” vein bursting seethe
idgi, just looks like a solid game

God I hope NG4 helps move us away from soulslop
Not that they're bad games, I just want proper hack and slash titles again.

>>724849378
I'm just tired of souls games. Only one I liked was nioh. Rest is just same shit over and over.

>>724849378
They are bad games and the fact that they got any traction goes against anything.

>>724843650
stop trying to change the games i like faggot, from games don't need to be more like devil may cry, ninja gaiden, bayonetta or whatever action game you like, just let it be its own action rpg genre

>>724836242
>There's literally no way to look at that webm and think button mashing
The player are doing attacks despite the fact that the enemy had already dodged out of their way, 3-4 attacks in fact. It's button mashing

They're all equally bad.

This is as good as action gaming gets. I wouldn't expect soulsfags to understand.

>>724849875
Compared to actual action games, yeah.

rollsloppers haven't evolved past rolling

>>724830225 (OP)
Journos can beat the game by just spamming the basic square combo on Ninja Dog.

>>724849926
also to any game genre ever except gacha maybe

>>724841964
Correct. Even Brave Frencer Musashi from 1998 has more complex combat than Stellar Blade. It's insane what these coomskulls are up to.

>>724850014
Stellar blade came and went with only coomer discussions happening. No one has shit to say about gameplay because it's mediocre slop.

>>724841964
>>724850014
Honestly, the average /v/irgin has such horrible taste in video games, if they say something is shit, unless they can back it up with actual examples, it's more likely than not the opposite is true and they're just mad that they can't pirate it or for some other gay reason.

This is the board where a capeshit dating sim with the typical Telltale illusion of choice is being successfully shilled to you faggots. You retards have horrible taste in video games.

Add to that the obvious seething that NG4 flopped hard when you fags were bragging it was going to outsell Stellar Blade and Wuchang (which sold like hotcakes) and your opinions are beyond worthless. Just shut up.

>>724850352
Stellar Blade is worse than vanilla NG3 and light years away in terms of gameplay complexity. You're coomer retard, ironically with shit taste. And also a /v/irgin.

>>724850352
>NG4 flopped hard when you fags were bragging it was going to outsell Stellar Blade and Wuchang (which sold like hotcakes)
Sales isn't a metric of quality, those games were shit. NG4 is good.

>>724849806
Not to burst your bubble but if you're citing the example I think you are that's a combo string that requires a specific input sequence and can't be easily cancelled (it might not be cancellable at all, I don't remember), so it most definitely isn't button mashing.

>>724850437
Don't feed him

>>724830268
I'm too old to post on 4chan and Ninja Gaiden sucks. That big drop in the graph is obviously from lockdowns completely fucking over an entire generation's education.

I meant it more as an explanation to anyone to happened to be curious as to what was happening at that point in the webm and why.

Why do robots have blood?

>>724850414
The fact is you're a grown man taking video games seriously and that's pathetic. When I was younger, I thought like you but growing up made me realize that I have more important real life challengers to solve.

Not to say video games are for kids, but the hardcore gamer bullshit is the type of shit jobless goalless lost NEETs say to cope with them not doing anything meaningful with their life. I like challenge in a game, but I'm not going to grind for hours and hours in one sitting to get good at a game like I have nothing else to do. I play games because they're fun, not because I have to prove anything to some random retards.

Coomer games score highly. This game has sub 40 on Metacritic and is considered one of the worst games ever. 93+ on Steam. Why? You know why, you gooner tard.

>>724843650
Nightreign mechanics are good enough

boughted yesterday, the first two - three chapters were pretty boring on replay (played them when pirated it), but it picks up in the mountains, the new enemies are pretty cool too
very excited for the MN run, but that will have to wait until I clear the hard mode

Souls games have better boss fights. Ninja Gaiden games have better enemy combat. If we merged the two and made some sort of Souls Gaiden, we could have the perfect fighting game.

>>724851390
Dark Souls doesn't have good bosses

There's a free demo on the storepage. Try it out. It's also been out for 2 years now so you can watch gameplay on YouTube if you so please. Also, there's only as much fanservice as you want there to be. No one's forcing you to play Eve's game in lingerie or to even make it lewder than it has to be.

>>724851172
It has a 92 user score and 81 critic score on Metacritic
https://www.metacritic.com/game/stellar-blade/

NG4 has basically the same critic score (82) but the user score is a lot lower. This kinda stacks up with the Steam analysis: NG4 isn't as good of a game as Stellar Blade (the gook coomer simulator that blew the fuck out of your literally DoA series).
https://www.metacritic.com/game/ninja-gaiden-4/


>>724851134
You niggers are freaking out because someone said your game series is overrated trash and hasn't been good ever since the PS3 era. I think you need to stop projecting and just realize video games aren't so serious that you should throw baseless accusations and

Can you dorks just take a fucking L? You're just ass-blasted no one wants to play a series that has outlived its cultural relevance. Ninja Gaiden was a series meant for millenials and hasn't even had any game since 2013. No shit it isn't the king any more when there's much more offerings in the character action genre since the last real game in 2013. Goddamn, you fags are so pathetic.

>>724851390
Most NG bosses have kind of jank properties, if anything it would've been better to take notes from the better DMC3 bosses or something but the time for applying that kind of approach passed multiple console generations ago.

>my console slop is harder than your console slop
LOL
LMAO EVEN

>>724840014
This games combat is so sluggish and scripted.
this game is only "good" In a world where being better than shitty souls slop combat is the low standard that gets a game praises.

>>724851753
>>It's not fun until you grind the same stage 20 times to get the perfect score.
It's fun from the very first level. You're just retarded.

which makes it cheaper. Decent game btw.

>>724851753
>Try it out
I did, that's why I'm highlighting why no one discusses the gameplay. Its shit.

>>724852073
There are some PC games with interesting melee combat but they're few and far between to say nothing of very old now (Oni, the Jedi Knight games, etc.). The time for a renaissance was many years ago and the few attempts like Blade Symphony are long since dead.

>>724852347
So is Stellar Blade, you hypocritical sperg. Maybe don't pass judgement on a game you haven't played and clearly won't as if you're the target audience. Clearly you're not. Move on and play your try-hard game.

>>724852409
I'll bite. What's the problem with the gameplay?

that's too wide buddy

>>724852507
>What's the problem with the gameplay?
Same shit as sekiro. Limited system geared towards 1v1 Simon says combat. It's janky garbage a step above souls.

we're in the post-brain era of gaming where zoomers, aka zoglings, get brainfog if they have to do more than press the solution button. they think chess is whack because the pieces don't do ults and are problematic referencing colonialism. they think tetris needs DEI representation with PoC blocks that can transition instead of rotate. skill is seen as a problem and the game should be vibecoded to the max. like why am i even attacking with a weapon? if invaders want to take the region i'm from i should redistribute it to them so that i'm not perpetuate Caucasian normative power dynamics. only chuds think defeating the boss is acceptable and is indicative of a neo pre-cuck disposition that is invalid and warrants deplatforming.

who the fuck was that red nigga anyway? he kicked my ass in hard and I wasn't even playing the right version

>>724852859
Ninja gaiden is the most souls like version of a stylish action game, there is very little seething coming from that fanbase. It's from platinum fans and especially DMC training dummy enthusiasts.

>>724852709
>Same shit as sekiro.
And that's bad why?

>Limited system geared towards 1v1 Simon says combat.
Except that's not true. You do get burst skills even early on that allow you to deal with multiple enemies at once and multiple parts in the wasteland and the desert (along with the later parts of Eidos 7) require it. Also, God forbid a game give you an actual signal to process and dodge/parry an enemy's attack rather than having to memorize everything. Again, this is why I say you fags are tryhard, you turn your fucking game into a job.

>It's janky garbage a step above souls.
It's more polished than your average Ninja Gaiden game. Do you think this shit looks fun or not janky as fuck >>724852839? None of the enemies or bosses are this ragged to fight in SB. It's not a surprise that the series fucking died for a decade if this is the pinnacle of character action games.

He says, then spends 12 hours shrieking about Stellar Blade in a Ninja Gaiden thread. Honestly, you should kill yourself. Being the coomer loser that you are, you've already removed yourself from the gene pool. Might as well finish the job and end it altogether. What a mentally broken individual you are.

>>724851753
>It has a 92 user score and 81 critic score on Metacritic
Lower user score than the game that's sub-40 on Metacritic. You've already lost by using Steam reviews as a metric.

>>724853164
The amount of projection in this post is fucking hilarious. You're actually fucking mad about video games. I don't even need to tell you how much you need to take your own advice since clearly you thought of it in the first place. Hopefully, you follow through with it soon. Faggot lmao.

>>724853267
See >>724851134. It's actually funny to see you sperg this hard, then come with responses like this. Completely oblivious. It takes an actual lack of self-awareness for this exchange to take place. Good job.

>>724853304
Again, you're just projecting. I really don't care about what a seething faggot like you thinks. I'm responding sure but I'm just doing so to mock your pathetic existence rather than actually giving a shit about what you have to say.

>God forbid a game give you an actual signal to process and dodge/parry an enemy's attack rather than having to memorize everything. Again, this is why I say you fags are tryhard, you turn your fucking game into a job.
Ng4 did this and is more fun.

>And that's bad why?
It's incredibly boring and repetitive. 2 dimensional combat without any interesting interactions. Just 1v1 against enemies that boil down to "I'm about to do X so you better counter with Y". Just braindead. If you like that then fine, and it's clear a lot of gamers do but don't tell me it's better than actual action games.

Not a shred of projection. You throw that term around like you know what it means, while demonstrating that you don't. Calling you a coomer is an objective observation you would verify with context alone, and you know exactly what being a coomer typically entails, and thus assuming you're a permavirgin loser is the default. It's been nearly 7 hours since you got triggered and started shrieking about Stellar Blade. You're an unhinged loser, lmao.

Stellar Blade has insanely simplistic combat and progression. Its one and only saving grace, and the one and only thing people care about, is the softcore porn dress-up portion of the game. It's not better than any other action game. You could go play the earliest 3D action games on PS1 and find more substance.

God Nigger Gaiden fags are so desperate.


>>724853370
>Ng4 did this and is more fun.
What is a subjective opinion for 300, Alex?
What's fun for you isn't for me (or most people). There is such a thing such as objectively bad design but you haven't gotten close to listing anything objective. Just a hodgepodge of incoherent babble that I would expect from a toddler.

>It's incredibly boring and repetitive.
>2 dimensional combat without any interesting interactions. Just 1v1 against enemies that boil down to "I'm about to do X so you better counter with Y".
Yeah you didn't even play the demo. God, you retards say this stupid shit and you wonder why no one bothers with your game. You sound like pseudo-intellectual retarded cunts huffing you own farts about shit you clearly don't understand and don't care to yet you have a strong opinion about it anyways.

Filename. I'm not reading that. Keep you rants short or keep them to yourself.

Neptunia having 93+ undermines the Steam review narrative you're trying to paint.

Concession accepted.

Exactly what I'd say to you. 0 objectively good design choices in stellar blade, just coombait for literal retards.

Nice trail of autism, retard. I see you like burying your head in the sand when you make a fool of yourself. Serial moron, eh?

Do ninja gardeners just rate everything based on the amount of exploding shurikens at any given time?

>>724853693
Taimanin is also shit, by the way. Makes perfect sense for a Stellar Tard to obsess with that literal porn game.

>>724853615
>Neptunia having 93+ undermines the Steam review narrative you're trying to paint.
Not really when the critic scores are in line with the user scores.

>Concession accepted.
I didn't concede shit. I'm just not reading all that bullshit for a gay Internet argument with

>>724853641
Again, you didn't play the game and it's glaringly obvious considering literally everyone disagrees with you and says it is a at worst decently good action game.

>>724853646
I've played the Ninja Gaiden games on the PS3 and they're fucking ass. Too much tryhard bullshit and not enough actual substance to the gameplay. I can't imagine that the 4th game is any better.

>>724853684
Trust me mate, the only morons here are you fags that think every game that isn't some janky tryhard nonsense is bad. WHy would you appeal to such losers in the first place? It's why the NG series died for a decade and NG4 had no marketing: no one cares about your video game cred. People just want to have fun and not be harassed by autsitics that never left the middle school mentally.

>>724853870
>Too much tryhard bullshit and not enough actual substance to the gameplay.
So you haven't played, NG is nothing but substance

>>724830268
Not hard to see why, really. Souls games are simpler and easier to understand but they're also less forgiving of mashing than action games are on their initial difficulty settings, so players are forced to at least kinda learn how to play.

A lot of the depth in action games is also consigned to flashy combos there isn't really a reason to engage with, and if you don't then pressing the dodge button at the right time before mashing XXYYY isn't a million miles away from Souls combat, except you don't even have to consider commitment since you can cancel anything into a dodge at least in Bayo-style games.

Souls games as a complete package are just better too, they do adventure elements better than action games ever have. Whenever an action game tries to add variety it's always some godawful platforming or Zelda shit or some gimmick boss fight nobody likes.

Action games shouldn't adopt Soulslike combat but they should consider making themselves more punishing on their initial difficulties, like Souls.

>>724854053
Not really. Ryu moves like a fucking coked out bat and his attacks have no real power to them. It doesn't help that the controls are genuinely kind of shit and way too floaty for any game asking for that level of precision. Even the NES games are much the same way.

I'm under the impression that the Ninja Gaiden series has only gotten big because older gamers though beating it was hardcore instead of just poorly designed and that reputation stuck despite very obvious signs the game was in fact poorly designed. It's basically an arcade game that never left the arcade mindset and suffers for it.

I think Demon Souls and Dark Souls 1 are good games because they were designed with a more methodical combat system than the NG games and while I'm not a huge fan of the later games, I can see why the Souls games prospered while Ninja Gaiden failed. This guy >>724854194 explains it better than I ever could but there's a reason why other action games are liked outside of Ninja Gaiden: holding onto the arcade mindset is fucking retarded post-2005

I'd just like to say that I'm on chapter 4 on nigga guyden 1 and those black spider ninjas are destroying my ass, thank you

>>724854364
I'm under the impression that you clearly haven't played the game, or at best got filtered in chapter 1. Again, it's fine if you prefer 1v1 turn based games but typing out walls of cope about how you're above it all is pathetic.

>>724854575
Hitcofirm xy instead of mashing it

The reversal — often called the negative Flynn effect — likely comes from multiple overlapping factors rather than a single cause. Key explanations include:

1. Education plateau – Schooling quality and length have stabilized in developed countries, so the cognitive gains from mass education have maxed out.


2. Digital distraction – More screen time and less deep reading or problem-solving may reduce sustained attention and abstract reasoning practice.


3. Environmental changes – Less lead exposure once boosted IQ; now that benefit’s gone. Meanwhile, new factors (like pollution or poor sleep) may offset gains.


4. Demographic shifts – Lower birth rates among higher-educated populations can slightly lower the average IQ.


5. Test fatigue or cultural change – People may not engage with tests as seriously as in the past, and IQ tests may no longer reflect the skills modern life values most.
In short, the cognitive environment that once drove IQ upward has leveled off — and in some areas, started pushing in the opposite direction.
