Will the darkness pass?

Do you ever dream of the day when video games will become unpopular again, and the higher ups and drone faggots will move on to something else?

Every night.

Yes, when the market becomes ridiculously over saturated, runs out of ideas, and people find a new medium of entertainment. The first two are already happening.

It will never be over; there's too many retards out there to milk.

just go fucking play them, there's thousands of classic titles you haven't touched yet, you faggot

let's hope VR will steer away many of people from traditional gaming

It`s a broken reflection of ourselves

Who are you quoting?

user, don't make me post those korean videos of chicks eating lots of fried chicken

I never said there wasn't good games coming out.
Fucking Millennials

Albert Einstein

Oh right, it's not the current generation of games that displeases you, it's the fact that you derive shame from other video game consumers. Perhaps that's even more pathetic.

Fuck Albert Einstein.

...

Question.

What's pathetic about being displeased over the current generation of games?

The trick is to not listen to Holla Forums.

I don't play actively all the time because the game has lots of AFK functionality, but it's definitely my favorite game of 2016.

I at least try games instead of just shitting here all day.

It isn't, but why whine if you haven't played all of the old shit?

...

Holla Forums isn't one fucking person faggot, and kill yourself for supporting a fucking shit korean grindfest company.
Oh, and I have been playing Dragon Quest all day.

Wow you are butthurt.
You need to get laid.
Or at least find a waifu.

You has been triggered.

lol

u mad kiddo?

I'm ready for VR to hit the mainstream, and be taken under by the mindless hordes with no hope of escape. Let the artistic nobodies who think themselves kings and the corporations funding an endless money printing scheme both get exactly what they want, and then walk far away from us with their new toys, never to be seen again. Watch, as the new dawn we've desired for so long comes for us, our medium finally freed from this cancer as it envelops and drags away this sacrificial lamb, made solely to appease it forevermore. Laugh, as VR joins the pantheon of thoughtless passive media that exists only to scream propaganda and advertisements at its audience, their minds too preoccupied with shaping this new world to their liking forever to so much as remember the trouble we caused them.

Bring on the end of this sickening era, and the beginning of our renaissance, in the wake of being left alone to do as we will unhindered once more. Hold out just a little longer, the night is almost over.

No, but you are.

u so mad kid, have some salt.

Yeah, that is a really good point. VR could have been cool, but left in the hands of the people who developed it. It will turn to ruin.

I'm thinking of becoming a sjw to help kill gaming. Zoe Quinn is the hero we didn't know we needed.

Gaming will neither get better for you nor will it die.

A lot of bubbles in a lot of "brave new" genres will burst, and a lot of money will be pissed away trying to keep them stable, but in the end the same market will still exist and the same kinds of people will still buy the games they like.

Key word being BUY. You won't have any marketing power if you're not part of the market. :^)

Again, my backlog is so fucking huge I don't really cares what happens for the next few gens. Even my setup is toaster tier and I'm happy just playing Age of Empires and Diablo 2

Yes. Believing it will ever happen is another story entirely.

Yes, but unpopular in the "unnoticed, weird hobby" way they were before. They're going towards the "old fad, so outdated!" trend and I hate it. We'll have secondary hipsters for decades and gurlgamers and fakegeeks have left a scar that won't heal right

wish in one hand and shit in the other. which one will get full first?

...

I don't want it to become unpopular again. I want it to reach a nice middle ground where it stops drawing in the base level normalfags, but isn't back to being something for basement dwelling neckbeards.
I just want games to be for antisocial neckbeards.

for that to happen, life would need to be interesting.
there are no robots or aliens to talk to, no wizarding schools. life is the same as it was for the last hundred years, except we have the internet now.

Videogames were always popular stupid.

I hope they will. So nobody will ever say anything against my favorite video games. Especially fallout 4, which is hated here because of elitist faggots who only play old ass video games.

Why are there so many literal hipsters on this board?

No wonder half chan fell to SJWs, its the hipster ideology.

Kill yourself already Todd.

yes although they are more popular now, thanks to the social aspect provided by the internet.
and with that social aspect comes very heavy marketing, so the focus has shifted towards these socialites

No they aren't faggot.

Lurk more

Hey there brother, you're my nigga, I always wanted a fucking open world Musou game, and guess what, BDO gave me that.
Game has a lot of bad shit, but just as much good shit.
Cheers.

you sure about that?

youre acting like one person
one very gay person who sucks dicks all day

Yes faggot, what you want are niche titles and ascribing to being the most popular in the medium.
Probably when you were a little faggot, but now that you are a big faggot you probably have the scope to realize that videogames are popular.

i dont believe you

Every night user.

Stop trying to push your shit meme.

I never understood people that do this.
Our hobby might never be niche again.


Good response user.
Thank you for you invaluable post.

Stop this cancerous thought process. You were an outcast not because of video games, but because you were an easy target. A beta male, a sperg, a weirdo.

It was rare for someone to not have touched a video game when I was growing up. Everyone played them.

he's not memeing, he's trying to spam the board. bit of a difference

This is what I hope too. Sacrifice VR to save vidja.

Video games have always been popular with children. The problem starts during teenage years, kids who had a passion for vidya would be ridiculed. That's why people 15 and up with a video game hobby were considered outcasts and/or losers.

...

...

They flocked to video games because they were too shy and shit at everything else.

Good riddance i don't have such shit taste.

But vidya is already dead and not salvageable. Why would we want it back?

so we have something good to play

That webm has always made me feel.
Dice's attention to detail like that is pretty impressive.

The times of good games are gone and never coming back user.

On the topic of this shitty thread - nothing fucking changed.
Good games to shit games ratio remains the same as it was in 2000, and in 1990 and in fucking 1980, dunno about before that.
All that changed is sheer number of game overall and their accessibility.

So yeah, all faggots crying about "muh dead hobby" are dead inside themselves, and can't have fun anymore.
You just need to hang yourselves.

the only thing thats never coming back are current AAA companies
something may end up replacing what was lost for a while, until madness consumes them as well.

You having shit taste and liking grindy trash doesn't make the game good, you stupid faggot.

When they stop being useful to us you stupid goyim!

Why is there a "social eating" tab on Twitch. Like seriously, who wants to see another person eat, as well as pay them money for it?

Anyways, I still dream for it. Vidya doesn't need multimillion dollar budgets with hundreds of devs working on a watered down turd in order to appeal to as much people as possible.

Why are you guys complaining?

There's a shitload of games you guys haven't even played yet. If you're so worried about the status of modern gaming industry then just don't pay attention to it.

Most of the Holla Forums userbase didn't had friends in back then in school and highschool, and only paid attention to videogames and anime, and never cared about what was going on in the world surrounding them.

Why now you have to care?
Why you had to look now what was going around you?

Just play videogames. That's it.

Because Twitch is actively copying Korean streaming services instead of actually doing it's own thing.

...

This. Go onto emuparadise and find a random game to play. Maybe its good, maybe its bad, who knows. You dont spend any money and you almost always get somthing better than recent games.

Alright Shlomo, give me a reason of why people should care.

That's depressing. More depressing that asns probably pay money for these shit services.


Personally it's because I know people have whats in them to make a fun game. Games like EDF, Yakuza, Sleeping Dogs, those gave me hope man. It's just frustrating that they deliberately fuck up.

At this point I'm tempted to go back because I have more fun with Bust A Move than most modern games.

The irony.

the ones i havent played are boring

I dream of the day when the first page of Holla Forums consists entirely of discussion about videogames, instead of e-celeb Twitter drama, clickbait news article that get more comments than the article itself, poorly-disguised Holla Forums threads, waifu dumps, unwarranted hysteria over false info that isn't even the linked source, and bait threads with +200 replies. Does that count?

...

you might think game companies re-releasing and remastering games that only came out within the past 10 years is lazy, but it’s more of a testament to just how stupidly expensive it is to make a video game nowadays.

these companies need income to survive obviously, so while they’re working on their new game for the new systems they need a source of income, and the quickest way to make a buck as a large developer right now is to just re-release a game they already made.

mid-budget and small-budget games almost completely disappeared because throwing together a cheap shovelware game and selling just enough to make a profit on it is just not viable anymore. if it wasn’t for indie devs stepping up their game after making a hit or larger devs taking chances on smaller projects, we just flat out wouldn’t have these $20-to-$40 smaller scale games anymore.

aside from extremely poor management, this is one of the big reasons THQ went under, they just could not adapt to just how expensive big video game projects were becoming and their reliance on cheaper licensed games ended up being taken out from under their feet and sending them into a pit they couldn’t escape from.

games being extremely expensive to make is a reason why there’s a lot of “just okay” AAA games that don’t really try anything new or interesting, because with that much money on the line publishers are forced by investors to steer developers away from an interesting new idea that may or may not work to a tried and true idea that they know will work but is not terribly fresh.

like every other industry, video games are still a business at the end of the day and they need that cash flowing in to survive.

I'm still waiting for somebody to tell me why should i care

Because those that don't care usually do nothing and achieve nothing?
Those that care do.
Pretty much applies to every field of life.

People want to see new GOOD games. I have a lot of fun with the classics but I miss when I could have a few AAA titles that seem legitimately promising. Games today don't push the envelope on gameplay anymore. There is no sense of invention or humanity them. All they are now are dreary products.

Yes I'm salty, a discussion I was enjoying got killed because it got derailed over SJW shit

most people in general dont achieve or do anything

Well if you wanna do nothing, keep going.

Where do you think you are?

nothing i consider worth doing is within any realm of possibility. video games fill the gap between now and dying

Holy shit user what are you doing. Pro advice: ALWAYS browse Holla Forums in catalog mode

Fuck off kike.

Well, nice rotting strategy.
Yet surely there are things you actually want to achieve.

Well there isn't a single game affected by SJWs as of yet.
Jews? Well games were affected by them since at least PS1 era, maybe before.

...

id like to fuck a mermaid

Did you come out of a coffin from 20 years ago or something ?

Just dropped in to name the jew.

Find an oven and get in.

...

Nice digits, but how about you name one?

I wonder about the person who does this, and thinks back to parents and professors shouting that they'll never get anywhere playing video games. I want to go back to an age where hard work meant something, and was rewarded as such.

jews empowered the sjws. without the jews they are nothing.

What the fuck is social eating?
Why would you want to watch other people enjoying a meal together?
What the fuck?
Is this lonely autists fueling this or have normalfags started living vicariously?

hard work? skill? what the fuck kind of business do you think im running? you cant work here because we have a diversity quota to fill. besides youd make tyrone look bad

...

...

Are you fucking kidding me champ?

Mirrors Edge 2
Dragon Age 2+
Fire Emblem
Bravely Default
#FE
Xenoblade Chronicles
Criminal Girls
Monster Monpiece
Watchdogs
Battlefield

Shit nigger I could go on for hours. What box have you been living in and is there room for two? I'd like to get out of this fucking nightmare for a while.

If you do watch porn you're usually doing it to achieve orgasm.

Watching other people eat achieves nothing, in fact, it'll probably just make you hungry and be a total cock tease to your stomach while you could be spending your time actually preparing food.

...

...

sleeping channels are going to be the next big thing. Someone will find a way to work in ASMR and normalfags will flock to that shit.

...

...

dead or alive xtreme 3

...

They were going to be bad regardless.
Them having shitty gameplay proves that.

Nigga, nip games were butchered since nes era, by playing a localization you're bringing it upon yourself, you have no one to blame. Learn jap if you want jap games so much.

...

to

...

Oh shit I always thought that was meant to be Stamper.

...

innocence is lost forever

FUCK THAT, FOUR GAME IN THE SERIES AND I STILL HAVE TO FUCKING GRIND MY ASS OFF.

i dont even like this song but i feel great listening to it

No this is completely normalfags
They love this shit


newsflash, it won't happen
the reality is that the guy who does all the hard work is the sucker these days and the one who gets screwed over by management and coworkers

… what?

...

Nice counter argument you fucking chump.

From teams filled to the fucking brim with pink-haired problem glasses all over twitter.

You said they haven't affected a single game, I listed a bunch and there is still more yet. Please clarify these extremely autistic specific terms which you require for an SJW to "affect" a game or fuck right off.

user, I have some bad news for you.

Not really, because them autists would take over

And autists arent actually hardcore gamers, they are just anal about meaningless shit

The only salvation is if consoles die out and all casuals migrate to phone gaming exclusively

Uncharted 4
Stellaris
ME series
Divinity: Original Sin(though just a little)
Dead or alive 3(never got a western release)
Battleborn
Borderlands
and much more

What would you define as a hardcore gamer though?

...

You don't see it?

Well fuck you too Jimbo.

He's not hard enough. Too doughy.
But otherwise, very close, I can see why you were confused.

I sometimes wonder if something else will come around. Some new form of entertainment that will drag normalfags away from vidya.

Seeing as I can only perceive the world from my current perspective, it's hard to imagine some new form of entertainment that is different than vidya and will occupy it's own space.

Maybe vidya is just the pinnacle of human creativity and we will never see anything better than it until full holodeck VR or brainjack full immersion simulations.

Then again, maybe we're just dreaming of a day that all of humanity, ourselves included, stops being so shite at everything.

VR perhaps

Wait, this is a real thing? Oh, just fucking kill me already.

We're already dead, user. We are the dead.

VR, please take them, take these soulless vessels from this hobby.

Something that you eventually learn is to stop listening to retards

Vidyia it's ok, is just that you need to wad through a lot of shit to get some good things and this board being mostly underaged edgy faggots or cynical bitter "old" gamers they don't have the patience to do so

I just wanted to be in the world, man. VR doesn't deserve this.

Can we just make VR eating and hook the chads and Stacys up to it?
Stacy doesn't want to get fat and Chad needs his "Rocking six pack, bro!", they could eat fake food while we play vidya.

Welcome to every genera and IP these faggots have touched. Why do you think MMOs get a bad rep here? It was made to be an entry into video games and we all saw how that went. That doesn't mean MMOs are shit but it sure doesn't help that the genera has that kind of baggage attached to it.

lol

I fully agree, VR on paper is amazing. But yes, the company whos got a hold of it now are fucking awful

But why can't we know peace from this evil?

There are hundreds of hours documenting this sort of shit and it's never going to fucking happen. I just wanna come home and slip on my VR helmet and cook a meal for my party before we go and fuck some monsters up and customizing the high hell out of our characters.

Just accept we are the few lucky and cursed ones that can see past the bullshit and pick up any gems along the way while holding on to what you have currently. Fuck them, they can undo our hobby but they can't undo the past.

They don't need to become unpopular, they just need to become great. Developers today are not in it to achieve greatness. They just want to achieve high revenue.

Amen!

Stannis will come back during season 7 right?

r-right?

But user, your skills and knowledge of STEM materials allow you to access and make so many interesting things. STEM will allow you to build robot waifus, go back in time, and teach math in schools!

Or, the exact opposite happens. VR stays prohibitively expensive, immersive and realistic (read: graphics, depth of interaction, and simulation fidelity. fuck your real /= fun) experiences push the limits of hardware to 8-core CPUs and dual top-end video cards and beyond (personal render farms?), effectively locking out 99% of the population due to cost alone, allowing for early-internet levels of wild-west like freedom from SJWs and normalfag values.

But nah, keep shitting on VR cuz NO GAEMS yet.

I hope you like fanfiction, user, because that's all you're gonna get.

nigger, azor ahai is jorah mormont

>>>/lit/8458.html

...

...

thats not good enough

No, user.

Stannis was a man. That means he is going to stay dead forever.

yeah, he didn't make any compromises!
except for burning his own followers alive, and also his daughter!

Shut the fuck up before you make me upset, this isn't the place for that.

All 3D porn is cuck/NTR porn by logic. 2D isn't because it doesn't exist.

It's fine if it's softcore, like chicks undressing or masturbating on their own.

user, Stannis was becoming more popular than Daenerys the strong womyn ruler. He had to go.

them womyns are gonna be real mad when jorah has to kill danaerys to become azor ahai

The xbox game? You know, just because it came out on a system you don't like doesn't mean it was never released.

Maybe the interracial shit or if you're married to a porn star, but otherwise you're stretching.
