Video games died when the PS3/Xbox 360/Wii generation started.
The old guard of video game enthusiasts were cast out and replaced by BUSINESS MAN. Production costs grew so high you could no longer take risks with games, everything is about maximising profit by making wide appeal games. Creativity was crushed, originality bred out, money money money. There isn't a single legit 10/10 game released since then, just half finished "I made this is secret while massa wasn't looking" diamonds in the rough like Dragon's Dogma. There isn't a single game made in the last 13 years that can stand toe to toe with Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid 3, Ico, GTA San Andreas, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VII or Wind Waker.
Hollow Knight? Kenshi? Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead?

Bad, bad and bad game.
Let me make it easy for you: Every indie game is trash not worth anyone's time when there's plenty of PS1, PS2 and DS games to play that are real video games.

Yep, you could have a AA niche game; now it's either B niche, AAA standardized (a.k.a. all the same) or mobile gambling.

Nier Automata? Alien: Isolation? Doom (2016)? Zelda: Breath of the Wild?
Jayden Butler
>Nier Automata? >Alien: Isolation? >Doom (2016)? >Zelda: Breath of the Wild? Trash, complete forgettable trash.
>He thinks Ico, GTA: Number 5000: The Remake, and the very same wide appeal generic shitfests that apparently are ruining gaming NOW like Chrono Trigger and FF7 are good while knocking ACTUAL kino shit like Rain World, Kenshi and Cataclysm You're so fucked up I don't even know where to start. I guess you could try actually playing one of them. Rain World is an absolute return to form for hardcore gaming, and any moron with a brain (or one without, seeing how many dropped it after there being essentially no tutorial, and having only the world and failure teach you the game) could see that. Kenshi and Cataclysm are both love letters made entirely by old school players, for old school players, and your experience with games is truly narrow and reeks of being casual if you can't derive even a cursory sense of enjoyment out of either.
Automata was literally basic bitch nietzsche and the simple fact that taro spent 90% of the time of its development drinking after he was done making sure 2B would sell to neckbeards says volumes about it more than playing his older works, comparing them all to Automata conceptually (including Gestalt) and understanding him seeking financial success is what literally killed his wild side. I'm glad it did well and he deserves to hae the recognition but its obvious to any that there was an incredible departure from his old, clunky shitfests with insane lore and characters to the high-school level themes and exploration of them of Automata. Also despite being Platinum the gameplay was still a joke, if the enemies weren't sponges with armor that you could only beat by tapping them twice then spamming your infinite, fully invulnverable dodge, then they were pushovers that died in 3 hits right as you setting up for a flashy combo. I don't really want to touch the other 3 since they're effectively what he's talking about. Shit made to sell, they're fine as games or if you simply enjoy the lines/genres they hail from, however.
>OOT Beaten out by BoTW. Far more ambitious and risky than OOT >MGS3 The spirit is very much alive in V. All the things you can do are pure metal gear >FF7 Unfortunately an FF game with that scope can't ever exist again. There was just so much >Wind Waker Prefer BoTW

Oblivion U R Mr. Gay (and the sequel) Demon's Souls GTA IV OP is just a salty old man

>VIDO GEMS TOO CORPORATE, RUN BY MONEY AND MONEY ONLY, VIDEO GAMES DED >"Indie games" >EVERY INDIE IS TRASH BECAUSE THEY AREN'T REAL VIDEO GAMES they aren't 'real video games' because they're not made by the companies you claim to despise? What a fucking autist holy shit. Inb4 'took the bait lol'
Juan Evans
Addressing this: no. Everything is business, but every business that hits super mainstream automatically dies. Name one, they all fell when they went for the billions rather than the millions.
Cooper Stewart
convincing argument, I'll make sure not to play those games based on your opinion

Sebastian Stewart
Thread has finished at this post. He's just saying that just because there's All Emasculated Wrestling that doesn't mean wrestling is not completely dead. Indies are a side show to the pros, the people actually carrying the industry. If the major leagues suck, the medium is dead. I've been there, when people told me >why do you not play DS JRPG Same exact process, and I was right about jrpg being dead too.
Landon Powell
A true boomer would appreciate kusoge like kenshi to be honest
Ian Powell
assuming the "flipping" was gradual, OP fits well with your post.
Brody Wood
And you are a zoomer fag that should just kill yourself. Every game released in 7th gen and after are 100% objectively pure shit, vidya is dead and the only ones who can enjoy it anymore are casual shit eaters.
Eli Sullivan
why is daisy made niggered?
Xavier Young
I was 13 actually retard
Thomas Lewis
Indie games aren't real games because if you were any good at being a developer you'd be hired by someone. Indie games are glorified Newgrounds games. No one ever cited a Negrounds game in their top 10 and for good reason.
Henry Mitchell
Rainworld controls like garbage, when you game controls like shit your game is shit. It's not fun to move around in Rainworld.
It's not about it being hard, it's literally not fun to hit right on the d pad and move the character.
Isaac Price
Get a keyboard, console boy. Rain World controls great.
Anthony Taylor
>Keyboard for a platformer The game is shit, your taste is shit, kill yourself
Calm down, user. I'm just saying, the controls felt great on a keyboard, and whenever someone bitched about them in the Rain World threads, they always turned out to be using a controller.
Ayden Rogers
If I could spend money to delete that game from existence, I'd spend a dollar.
I thought the controls with a controller in Rain World were fine. It's more the slugcat himself takes getting used to, he has his own physics so if you don't really know exactly what you're doing it can feel like he's moving out of your hands.
David James
I bet you think games have hidden liberal political agendas in them nowadays OP or any other media
Colton Diaz
I agree, and anyone that supported Nutendo after gamecube should be tortured to death by the cartel. They might as well be selling baby blocks now.
Brody Howard
That's because none of them are hidden. They're in plain sight just like how every single major company that owns a dozen other huge brand names and other massive companies is headed by either a jew or a chinese. You can literally google this shit.
Grayson James
that's daisy's original color she was just really tan I guess or spanish or something

Jason Robinson
>basic bitch nietzsche Kek it's always amazes me when retards attempt to "prove" how the game that never claimed to be profound, was not profound. And they always get it wrong.
On a serious note it would do you good to actually play games and talk about the content that's in them, rather than watch retarded youtube "analysis" vids to find things to argue against. Like, you'd notice actual health benefits I think.
Soulless game corporations adding different hues to their characters and surface-level identity and social politics is something corporations have done to every medium since fucking ever. The corporations don't give a fuck about championing political justice, they literally only do it because it sells.
Nathaniel Evans
>Soulless game corporations adding different hues to their characters and surface-level identity and social politics is something corporations have done to every medium since fucking ever. Nah, fucking no. Ocarina of Time didn't have it, Metal Gear Solid 3 didn't have it, Ico didn't have it. You're living in delusion.
>The corporations don't give a fuck about championing political justice, they literally only do it because it sells. DUH. Doesn't unfuck the shitty characters/plots in games that have it.
Anthony Green
People will refuse to like a Taro game again unless it's a clunky unaccessible piece of garbage because they need the street cred of being willing to put up with a bad game for a "story."
Hudson Perez
>Automatic Tomatoes doesn't TRY to be deep! >All anyone ever talks about when they bring up the game is basic bitch philosophy and story beats
Bentley Green
Who cares, it's an okay-to-mediocre game because the game is only okay-to-mediocre to play. People give a shit about it because its Taro's first okay-to-mediocre game.
Jeremiah Hernandez
Died because nintendo pandering for the casuals. ~le family ~le wiiiii yiiiiiiipuieeee!!!
