What are you scared of about the future of vidya?

>>523386290I have no hope for the future of vidja or of the world. I expect a general decline as everyone tries to cater to the lowest common denominator and mega-corporations buy up anything of value.

I fear the Japanese will eventually stop making games other than gacha cash grabs.

>>523386290Forced DRM control, such as always online or needing to register your game that only works on one console. Chinese or foreign intervintion into game series for nefarious purposes. Forced advertisments during gameplay. No more physical media.

>>523386613Fucking capcom.

I’m scared we won’t get artificial reality with pussy attachments for simulated pussy fucking. Imagine actually fucking your favorite game girl bro’s. You could even mod in deep fake content! Ahh the dream.

>>523386978China has a good long list of banned shit

>>523386290Games are getting more expensive while also still having fucking microtransactions. Limited time content seems to becoming more and more common, locking out content for new players/people who want to replay that game. Also; nostalgia pandering, generic shooters, copy+paste sports games, weeb games, pay to win games, toxic/annoying fandoms, and people who blindly defend shit games just because they "enjoy" the game. (swsh, tlou2, origiami king, league, etc.) They're actively making the gaming industry worse for putting up with shit and allowing devs to never need to improve

>>523386290Yes.

>>523386376>Microtransactionsmostly this

If 2019's action game Sekiro is mechanically inferior to 2001's action game Devil May Cry then we all are screwed since in next 10 years we will be left with 1 button press to finish games.

>>523386290You will be required to subscribe to a streamer in order to play the game

>>523387461Go away Chang. Your country got games removed from steam for being anti-CCP, or had entire ad campaigns changed for showing historical facts, or had games banned from all countries for offending Chinese sensibility.

>>523386290Trump ruining vidya by using his decrees to attack anything that upsets him like he did with tencent and shit. So much for keeping politics out of vidya. Can't wait until my favorite MMO gets banned by Trump because the dev offended him on twitter.

>>523386978Same thing they've done to much of the film medium. I wouldn't say it's even censorship in the typical way where things are blocked are taken away after the fact, there are literally things done before a film is even written or cast that are done for the explicit reason to keep the Chinese market happy. Because of their massive size and potential customers/viewers and their businessmen with their tendrils in almost every industry around the world, companies who want money are more than willing to kowtow to them.

japan hopping completely on that money>passion train that the west started. they've begun already

In the past, digital only games would get delisted because of licenses expiring. It sucked, but legal problems are a pain in the ass in all aspects of entertainment, so it was understandable.Now we have digital only games with no licensing problems whatsoever being "limited time offers" until they're pulled for no reason.

>>523387595Why you pretend american cuck culture doesnt sanitize games even more?Recent mainstream projects all have unbearably shitty agenda driven stories

>>523388285Best option is to buy (BUY not PIRATE) indie games now. At least those have soul still.

>>523388425And strategies.

>>523386290If you're scared about the future of vidya but not of the West, then it's time to power off your consoles and start reading about the conspiracies against our populations.

>>523388210Name one game on gamepass that you can't just buy. If you want to pay $60 for Halo/Gears/Forza, you can.

>>523388405Pandering to american cuck culture is a choice. If you don't, the worst you get is a bunch of literally whos on twitter whining about how problematic it is. Meanwhile your expensive tencent funded game is not even going to release if it doesn't appeal to china. One form of censorship is internal, the other is external and optional.

>>523387595when has Epic Games ever complained about monopolies? wtf

>>523388594Fucking dumbass one of the main arguments to use EGS from EGS shills is complaining that steam is a monopoly even though we have other storefronts than steam to buy games from.

>>523387632is that really it? two small graphical changes is enough to make you complain?

>>523388565But partnering with tencent is also a choice user.

>>523386290RPG’s merging into the action adventure genreThe same way adventure melted into action

No. The future of society is fucked so vidya is the least of my worries.

>>523388565You think SJWs don't directly control creation already in the West? I have news for you, buddy...You think journos aren't part of the issue? I have some other news...

>>523388715It's a "choice" in the same way that not paying for protection money to your local mafia boss to protect your store is a "choice". You want in the chinese market? You sometimes HAVE to go through tencent.

>>523388561Good point.

>>523389319I know more about China than most of 4chan and reddit, I'm not even Chinese. China is not interested in what games foreigners play, their censorship is for their own country

>>523389350it always will as the inception injection of such content was an artificial push by an overbearing group supported by the rich and failing that violent revolution. it's nothing new these cycles have been going on for hundreds of years.Good content will ironically subvert it as people look for it after the mainstream is poisoned. most of the games relevant nowadays are minimally or unpozzed.

I dont mind racial diversity, in the end its whites fault they are getting outbred in the market tooBut FAG & FEMINISM obsession in western culture is truly revolting, physically

>>523389867cope, the metal gear series (sans V) is one of the best videogame franchises in history

almost everything i was worry about is here todayi was worry about rehashing of old games, creativity voidbut it's not as bad as i imagined it, we got some ok remakes of old titles and new good games are still made which you will find only if you don't expect every game to be polish like the biggest aaa titleson the other hand i'm still worry about game streaming which unironically can mean death of vidya just like that guy from Freeman's Mind saidalso i hate seasons in games like in fortnite or rainbow six siege when you cannot unlock skins and shit because you don't play one game everyday for past few years, fuck that

The videogame industry is unsustainable. Nintendo is literally the only publisher that relies solely on it and they're clearly trying to branch out before the other shoe drops.

>>523390337Okay I've only played one Metal Gear game (Revengance) and I immediately see you are full of shit. That game had big problems with its mechanics.

>>523390309I shouldn't really hate children, everyone here was a kid playing videogames and it was all fun and games, I should hate the careless parents that don't know what the fuck they're doing and decide leaving children unattended on the computer in these modern normalfag-internet times is a good idea, letting the children not only spew their shit on the internet but also getting brain worms from all the social media

>>523388695listen buddy, i know it's not a big deal for you but i love skeletons in video games and china censor skeletons so fuck them

Honestly i just want woke culture to go the fuck awayPut whatever blacks, gays, troons, or else in your game but please put at least some effort in making them fit your story and give them a decent backstory that makes sense. And for the love of god get rid of any references to modern day politics, no one likes it.
