Why are modern video games so shit these days?

Why are modern video games so shit these days?

No cheat codes ;_:

because you're a cynical 30 year old virgin, the only place to escape is anime and porn game

Honestly things have gotten a lot better. I would say the real dark ages for video games were circa 2009-2013 or so

Developers lost their charm

ran out of ideas

The last game that was good was This is the Police.

That was like months ago. we are living in a literal desert hoping to find some vidya

>he doesn't escape to anime porn games
loser

cuz they're pretty gay

I dunno man, why is Idubbbz so gay?

Too much hand holding an tutorial explanations for what should be explained simply by observing your surrounding mixed with what you can do.

Classic example was the one where Valve had to remove a junction from a map because people on a focus group kept literally going around in circles.

If the old Super Mario Bros was made today, it would have to pause and give a short 20 second text dialogue tutorial to tell you to jump on the Goomba's to defeat them, tell you to hold down B when running to make the jump across the first ledge, a tutorial to explain to you to grab the coins and what happens when you get 100 of them, a short tutorial to tell you how to use fireballs after grabbing the fireflower, a short tutorial to tell you that you can't jump on top of the spiny dudes, a short tutorial to tell you what you can do to bricks after you get a super mushroom, a short tutorial to explain to you about how to jump and grab the flagpole for best results etc.

Because the modern videogames didn't exist before these days?

High development costs kill smaller dev teams and make the rest play it as safe as possible.

>Classic example was the one where Valve had to remove a junction from a map because people on a focus group kept literally going around in circles.

That was 12 years ago.

You grew up.

This. Console command are close, but its so rare.

>Im gay
what did he mean by this

Western games? Yea they're shit.
Games made by Paradox are an exception. Japan is the only country where a lot of good games are coming from.

happy!

because the moneys not great and in turn the larger companies rely on non profit reasons to create games and by that I mean, games have become propaganda.

Every game has some shitty story now, mechanics and "fun" are secondary or non existent.

I heard that this was the purpose of gaymer gayt, to destroy games and create "education" tools from the ashes.

what

...

They're not. I've been playing since the NES and the ratio of shit to good has been fairly similar for my entire life.

You're either depressed or think acting really cynical makes you look cool.

Why did he bite a bleach gummy?

Because companies focus on appeal and money instead of innovation.

this is only partially true. Still true nonetheless.

Of course they focus on money, they're there to make money.

Because developers stopped experimenting and coding new mechanics since too much still fucks up their game engines, if you slap better graphics it will sell mentality. Western developers also pander to pressure.

Fallout 2 active prostitution, Fallout 4 you're a swell guy. Icewind Dale heavy customization + difficulty scaling of party, Dragon Age Inquisition we wuz casuals.

It's become their MAIN focus though.

So? A business is there to make a profit, first and foremost. This isn't Neverland, Peter.

So that's why they're shit now, dingus.

...

well sonny modern videogames didn't exist in the past so..

Funny thing,when anyone say this I know exactly what genre they are playing

Companies aren't vending machines to spit out your brand new vidyer game when you shove a bill inside. They have expenses, that are exponential to the size of the company. Think of all the payroll and shit they have to cover. They try to use high wages as an incentive to get their employees to make better shit, but that means more expensive games, or even DLC. The only thing I can agree on is their over spending on advertising, which could obviously go somewhere else. But of course there's a reason for the advertisements.

None of that excuses making shitty games.

This. Back in the day compaines used to thinkg " if we don't make a great game no one will buy into gaming or our fucking game" Now they think "just make whatever shit you want we don't give a fuck hype it up as the greatest thing ever these autistic retards will buy anything we shit on them with".

If you have been around long enough during the evolution of he industry you have noticed a difference but not all the games are shit a lot of stuff is still great even a lot of triple A are great games these days.

who was in the wrong here?

>watching youtube cancer
kill your self

What? Content cop is good shit bro.

Basically the same reason they have been shit since their down, money.
Most people only care about money from the old movie tie in atari or pac man space invaders rip offs.
Now today it's the same from ripoffs on mobile and tie ins, but also spliced in with AAA unfinished garbage that gets sold purely off marketing.
There are still great games today it's just you have you do a little effort to find them.

Triple A companies only care about DLC crap and catering to everyone.

Indie devs only care about 2deep4u crap and making hollow copies of games from the 80s/90s.

>modern these days
You can't hide your inability to form sentences properly behind shitposting, my autism is too refined.

I'm gay.
Modern video games are not guaranteed shit. You just are looking in the wrong places, and the cynicism and groupthink of Cred Forums has declared the awfulness of anything made after 2000 an inviolate heresy.

Atleast he has a chin

This is what's fucking wrong with Cred Forums.
You can't accept anything good. It's all just shit shit shit. You have excessively high standards that can never be met to hide your lack of taste.
>Indie devs only care about 2deep4u crap
Are you even trying?

Focus tested to the point of blandness and risk adverse.

This right here. Too much money means contents are dictated by marketing. And marketing doesn't want games, they want simulations.

They're better now, oldfag

anyone else worried about mike's relapse?
