Is it happening to vidya now? Has it happened already?

I'm not kidding, you ever talked with at least some "Chard" friends? I'm sure you have at least one if you loath them in the first place. They'll be genuinely dedicated to at least something on a grognardian levels. Maintaining an old car is just as "prestigious" as collective anime figurines, even if arguably more practical, and requires as much dedication.

You bought oblivion, dragon age, borderlands and bioshock.
You caused this to happen.

We were replaced a decade ago. Maybe even longer.

...

...

Oh you sweet innocent child.

Complete ideas-guy & script writer trying to learn coding here.
Do you think variations of existing puzzles are a good substitute, or do you think something more technical like designing a level with different puzzles for different characters is a better way to approach that?
As for writing about grim topics, there's just some things you just can't get across in videogames. People will mock you regardless of how well it's written or conveyed, unless you get some top tier voice acting, that is.

Try a decade ago

Is this the new le ebin reaction image thread?

Checked

Also, you are a normalfag shitter and example of how my hobby was taken from me by people like you.

This shit started in like 2006

It happend almost 2 decades ago kid.

...

now

...

I have my issues with the picture as well. The creators are the ones that sell the game out usually. Needs to be edited to show that the game attracts some people that are genuinely interested in the game and then show these people leaving when the creators sell out to try and pander to the "stacies" and "chads." But onto your point, while it's true that greedy corporations definitely have a hand in this, it's also true that the people who buy this shit are at fault as well. It reinforces in the corporation's mind that it's ok to manufacture bottom of the barrel shit because people will still buy it en masse. If people would stop buying this stuff I guarantee you things would change.

...

welcome to what 2007

now
o
wow

About 7 years or so late, but if you want a good example: Overwatch. Cuck/v/ fell for it hook line and sinker.

The introduction of the PlayStation and the N64 is what brought in total fucking faggots to video games. Also corporations finally figured out how to make a lot of money from them too.

Pretty sure the casuals and plebs here love Overwatch too, it fits right in with their taste since they love shooters.

...

...

Have you?
They have absolutely shit taste in everything and support awful things.

Give it a few more years.

...

...

4/v/ is rammed with shills and the mods don't care because they are also shills, just not for any video games. It's not hard for the Overshills to direct the plebs to their game. No explanation for the threads here though, some people just have poor taste. Some of them could also be paid shills, you never know!

Normalfags ruin things because they don't care about anything. They just use things as a distraction from their lives and move on from distraction to distraction. Sage because it's still an ebin reaction image thread

...

...

you should focus on getting a good grasp on whatever engine you are trying to use/create before delving into specifics like that.

final stage was 10 years ago.

...

We do, but we also kept EDF, Dragon's Dogma, SS13 around too. The problem with Overcuck is the size of it's player base. But if people keep their pants on and don't give in, it will blasted in time as ASSFAGOTS already are.
But it will be hard to avoid all that porn to be honest.

This entire analogy breaks down because players DO NOT MAKE THE GAMES THEY PLAY!

sasuga /r9k/.

Western video games are already far and beyond done with the cycle. The last stage has happened, and those of us who left eagerly await its agonizing burning death.

Japanese video games in the west are shielded by their immense ability to trigger the fuck out of normalfags. The worst they ever see is hitting stage 3 or 4, and even that's only for limited cases like Smash Brothers.

Basically you need to start learning Japanese 9 years ago.

...

I keep seeing this, but as an image I think it is very cluttered so I have created a video version.

It is not verbatim. I have, IMO, improved the text a little. The original text said "largely" a lot, had some poor phrasing & I wanted to make references like "dudebro" more general.

The music is Chopin's Nocturne No.21 in C-Minor.

Someone should get Big Man Tyrone to narrate this.

theres more than just that with video games

add an 8th stage

at that point art pretentious hipster art industry rejects who are likely to be SJWs take control of the hobby

the 8th stage happens if it gets popular enough

There's always nigs like that saying Holla Forums is shit, they're just trying to feel superior to other people.

...

...

Well you cant deny that is kind of right, developers of whatever hobby wouldnt pander to the masses with lower quality content if there wasnt an initial interest on the product to begin with. You're right, but making something popular is half of the process

Well user there are some communities still untouched by gamer girls, casualization, feminism, and all that other nasty stuff. To name a few:

(there are plenty of old games with active hacking communities. Sonic games, mario games, you name it. If you like Pc games, there's Doom modding, and skyrim modding if you're into that. Of course there are girls here but people care more about the mods than the personalities.)
(though its on its way out, its still about the games and people agreeing to waste their time together. I personally wouldn't recommend this because its stupid as fuck but its there.)
(all that matters in the FGC is that you play your games and like them, outsiders unwilling to adapt have difficulties due to it being 1v1 with no grinding or passive gameplay to "pretend" to play for views.)

Hasn't the autism from last year repelled a lot of the hipsters? As far as I'm concerned, anything shit happening to video games now is due to the kikery of publishers and devs.

...

Why is it so hard for you fuck to edit that picture?

You happy now?

OP's image happened to 8/v/. It's a panel-by-panel accurate depiction of how we were a chill board with slow traffic but no shitposting which eventually got bigger and bigger as fags started sharing this place on social media and 4ch, posting quality dropped to the point of outright shitposting and never recovered.

You know something, faggot? I'm talking to you, the cancer. You know who you are.
When we were fresh from the exodus, there was a CoD thread. An actual, live call of duty thread with no shitposting - people who didn't like the game didn't post, and people who did had fine taste and would talk about the two or three good recent entries as well as the old WW2 games.
That's how good the quality of the board was. And incessantly memespouting, shitposting cancer like you will never see it and I'm glad. gb24ch

People like you are what made cancerchan cancer. Stop giving a damn about "being like the oldfags" and trying to fit in. Just post opinions and argue fairly. Being a circlejerk would make Holla Forums no different than Reddit. If you really want Holla Forums to stay okay, just shit on bad posters and continue discussions. I've had several really good discussions with anons just these past few weeks alone. If there's a board that I'd say ended up going to shit, it would be Holla Forums.

Don't fall under the same mentality as

When the exodus happened was when this board was most popular retard, we haven't had as many posters since then. You can argue about the quality of the board but its not due to popularity

Leave.

I think World of Warcraft's popularity and casualization was a major part of it.

Even for all the shit people give to street fighter 5 it's still miles above in terms of both skill ceiling and skill floor compared to every other non fighting game released in the past five years.

And street fighter 5 is the shittiest the genre is offering as of right now. There is KOF, Guilty Gear and more which is much more fun and better in general.

Hell even shit like Pokenn can be a blast. The last champion of it on EVO when asked about what inspired him to win as a low tier character answered that he did it so the character he was playing as would become more popular and as a result get more porn made of her.

twitter.com/BlackYakuzu94/status/754714340327059456

It's only pozzed on the surface level. The core audience and gameplay are as solid and pure as it was a decade ago because it requires a huge amount of effort to play fighting games even at a ground level.

Why a furry is the only person that dares to say something like that after winning? Where is the SF5 champion demanding the game to be uncensored?

That's the surface pozing. The highest ranked competitive players have a lot of sponsors and advertisement contracts just like real athletes so they need to maintain a certain public image and have their own agents,

And Street Fighter is the most popular fighting game series and the most lucrative and profitable in terms of advertising so it's also by extension the shittiest one cause Capcom wants a big slice of that pie.

So the winners say what they are told to say to keep the money flow going from Moishe and his friends.

Smaller games on the other hand are less popular and so the participants can get away with saying more shit and are actually playing for fun instead of profit in a lot of cases.

Now this is the top layer only mind you. Everything below is a free for all like local tournaments and interest groups.

It all went wrong in late 90s/early 2000s with Half Life and Medal of Honor, when they started focusing on being cinematic and sacrificing good design for "realism". And then of course Call of Duty followed, which reached full-blown cancer with MW2.

This is how I know Holla Forums doesn't really care about fighting games.

A true hero.

One thing feeds the other, they wouldn't be able to sell low quality content if there wasn't low quality consumers to begin with.
And it gets worse, since these low quality consumers get into it, they may become the developers in the future, you are seeing the consequences of that right now.
It really doesn't help either that big companies are structured in the direct opposite way of one that makes good games, but as I said, one thing feeds another.

kek

Fuck off faggot, normalfags don't even have the fucking mental capacity to be genuinely interested in something. They just go where they are directed by the herd and use whatever hobby they find for more social shit.

But who's the forces sending the message that the jews greedy corps can get away with lower quality? Because I'd wager it's the casualshits that come into the hobby as secondaries.

No, they don't. I cannot wait for neuroscience to advance to the point that we can see their thoughts in real time, and quantify how disingenuous they really are.

The fact is that the video-game industry, pulled in more shekels than the movie-industry at one point (don't know if they still do it).

So it attracted ((business people)) who saw an easy way to make profits, because there weren't that many ((business-savy)) people involved at first.

And low and behold they are making video-games to appease share-holders, they are making video-games and features to video-games to stay afloat and not go in red during each fiscal quarter.

It's really stupid, because the cancerous business-models of every other company (which basically are run like schemes where the company inevitably will fail but the ones at the top will get filthy rich) is the cancer of society at large.

They don't get that at one point, video-games not only were of good quality, they also found that sweet spot of appealing to the mass audience where everybody in the youth was playing video-games.

It's not that way now, most normalfags don't seem to play video-games, because there aren't any of enough quality that appeals to the mass-audience who likes to play video-games along with their friends.

...

Come on, user.

I have no idea how to feel.

Depends on what vidya. There are some sub-groups in vidya that simply cannot be penetrated by stacies and chads. Series like Yakuza and anything Suda51 where it's simply too "weird" and Japanese for normalfags to want to play. Then there's things where there's just too much depth for normalfags to ruin it. Games like SSBMelee and arena shooters.
Really, the trick today is to make games that stacies and chads can watch but only people who actually give a shit can master. This is things SSBMelee, ASSFAGGOTS, etc.

I have very low tolerance for all sorts of deviants.
I guess you should feel lucky.

I don't know how you faggots manage it but it's been mostly alright experiences over here except the members are usually FUCKING DEAD.

I don't cry into a pillow every time someone links lewd though like you hyper sensitive babies.

I met a LOL player once, they were fucking repulsive.

It has already happened. It's all ogre already and there is no relief from this endless misery in sight. Not here, not anywhere.

"Therefore it lies in woman’s nature to look upon everything only as a means for winning man, and her interest in anything else is always a simulated one, a mere roundabout way to gain her ends, consisting of coquetry and pretence. Hence Rousseau said, Les femmes, en général, n’aiment aucun art, ne se connoissent à aucun et n’ont aucun génie (Lettre à d’Alembert, note xx.). Every one who can see through a sham must have found this to be the case. One need only watch the way they behave at a concert, the opera, or the play; the childish simplicity, for instance, with which they keep on chattering during the finest passages in the greatest masterpieces. "

If there was no demand for bad games, bad games would not be made. If the demand for bad games outweighs the demand for good games, good games will no longer be made. This applies to everything, and is the reason why all normalfags should be gassed.

I'm not complaining about porn, just that it's a frequent occurrence to see stretched out loli butts.

we actually have a member that went into a coma for two months as well. Scary shit

What kind of porn? I've noticed that women are more likely to dump certain kinds of porn, mostly guro.
Every single guro fetishist I've met in my lifetime has been a woman and I've seen multiple guro dumps on Holla Forums where the guroposter was eventually outed as some femanon with serious anger issues.

1. Female porn is 99% shit
2. Trannies are on the same level as sociopaths when it comes to mental illnesses
3. Homos… well yea, this is Holla Forums after all

The natural reaction would be to feel shame and disgust.

yeah no. the gays might be a vocal group, but they are still a vocal minority.

Are you sure? It feels like more and more gay anons come out of the woodwork every day.

Mostly rape, maledom, vore.

thefutureprimaeval.net/conquests-second-law/

This explains pretty much everything.

NEEThoo leads to depression leads to feelings of inadequacy leads to fear of women leads to becoming gay.

that's why they're the vocal minority. you don't hear people talking about being straight as often because that's normal. you may as well comment on how wet water is.

I also have a low tolerance for deviants while being a deviant myself.

Can you purge me and everyone like me from this planet? Thanks.

If only it worked that way with feeler faggots.

what the fuck did you even expect

I believe it came about through tg and for boardgames that pic is the absolute reality for beginner groups.

Eh, everyone's a little bit deviant, in the sense that everyone has their own vices (weed, alcohol, porn) and perversions (gayness, loli, big tits).

What makes a person degenerate is when they base their identity on these things and publicly demand that they be accepted, and then loved, for their issues, i.e. gays wanting special recognition because they like to take it up the butt, or feminists because they have vaginas.

It's only a matter of time before it reaches 4.

exactly. whos in charge of designing the damn games?

suck more jew dick, jesus christ

This is how I know you're fucking new

Pretty good so far. Haven't gone full degenerate yet.

...

Why is Todd in that list? He dindu nuffin!

Just look at the viewer demographics for TV shows about murder and rape.

I don't get this whole normalfag, chad, beta, alpha thing. Been here for years and I've never really understood it.

There are so many ways to live your life. you don't have to be an 'alpha' to get laid, and you don't have to be a 'beta' to sperg out about something you enjoy. Just do what you want to do, don't worry about adhering to some artificial standard of 'alpha' and 'beta'. I swear. If you want to play really old and obscure vidya, do it. If you want to go larp with your friends like a bunch of spergs, go do it. And if you want to go get drunk and bring a girl home that same night, you can do that too. It's not hard. You just need to exercise, eat well and improve your self-image. Working towards a longterm goal also helps a lot, it really makes you feel like you're living for something rather than just waiting to die.

Just something to think about.

It happened long, long ago…

learntocounter.com/a-couple-of-thoughts-on-the-pc-gaming-master-race/

Sage and report. Go the fuck back into your coma, you worthless piece of shit.

now it's more Sony than nintendo's fault in that era

Sony was the one marketing their console to normalfags

Vintage shitposting right there.

Some of that post borders on "muh sekrit club" and "special snowflake" tier. The thing is, apart from any negative implications that has, if you push too much that view, you dont end up a lot different from Tumblr.

I wouldn't say its happened to vidya as a whole since its pretty broad a net, but I do feel its happened to several genres of game, especially formerly niche ones.

It's been happening since videogames became a thing.

Being yourself is the whole idea behind calling out normalfags, or at least, it is on

hownew.ru

It was always doomed

one day there will be competing grand strategy games and paradox will be completely destroyed
that's what I tell myself so I can sleep at night

This started around the time of Deus Ex 2 / Doom 3 when devs starting making games for consoles primarily for maximum sheckles.

Games got massivley dumbed down for plebs and console babbys for widest exposure possible. Halo 2 / 3 Call of Duty: Modern warfare was it in full swing.

It may be dead but at least it's pure!

god these people are cucked

...

its a business not a fucking charity

You and me both.

And he and I are the customer, not investors. If you're a customer and you give one single shit about how much money a publisher is making, you're a fucking retard/
