Max payne is middlern game

the industry shifted from mid-tier budget awesomeness with heart, soul, and passion put into projects.
all of those same companies all sold out to the mega publishers or were abandoned by fans.
Now the industry is mega-hundreds-of-millions of dollars projects that follow the foot steps of what made Hollywood bland.
Mega corps don't care about passion, have to make it good enough to sell, but want the most revenue and shortest dev time.
All devs are told to toe the line or walk the plank.
Supporting any game from mega publishers means you hate the gaming medium.
Adrian Smith
there's more of them and they're better?
Ian Torres
Not made in west or east so has to be middle? I don't know
Luis Hughes
Based and breadpilled.

Ian Jones
Finalnd is a western country, at the very border with the east.
Luis Rodriguez

Gavin Rogers
Even eastern Russia is still considered European. Not sure why some people have such a hard time understanding that.

Western developers learned that people care more about the idea of what they're doing more than what they're actually doing, hence the popularity of games like Uncharted/Assassin's Creed/Batman where gameplay is practically automated.
Jaxon Cox
Does the market make the people, or do the people make the market?
Obviously people used to care about what they were doing while playing more than why they were doing what they were doing.
I feel the market pushed the change, more than people actually wanting it. But people fell for the marketing and became fans of something they didn't really want in the first place. And now it is the "norm."
Tyler Barnes
pirate it you frog fuck
Kayden Jenkins
i feel like western specifically means usa and eastern japan when it comes to video games
Isaac Jones
so where do euro game fit into?
Jason Lopez
i don't know
Matthew Reed
It does make you wonder what the fuck happened. Compare normie preferences in games during the PS2 era to how they are now and it's like night and day.
Blake Scott
Also open world fucking everywhere, even when its not needed. No good level design at all. Here are your 100 or so bases with same enemies go clean them out.
Brayden Butler
It's just wider audience these days. A lot more money going around. All that shit. Even in the ps2 times the main audience was mostly kids, teenagers and young adults.
Nathaniel Long
That's why we must speak with our wallets, and convince more to do so as well.
They only sell us shit because people find it acceptable.
Onions green is people, and modern gaming is (mostly) shit.
Adam Ramirez
this man speaks the truth
Gavin Garcia
To be fair even the Japs are falling for the open world meme.
Jaxon Powell
Feminism happened in video games
Hudson Lewis
What's EGS? I don't know what the fuck this "EGS" shit is I just downloaded the game and played it for free. What are you, retarded?
Owen Peterson
Epic Games Store. I just hate typing it out. I am not using an anti-consumer practice of arbitrary exclusivity, especially for games that aren't even Epic's first party line up.
Luke King
WHAT FUCKING STORE ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU DUMB FUCK
Nathan Hughes
Epic Games Store.
They develop and publish games, and also created the Unreal engine that is licensed out to other games.
I'm not sure how else to explain it. Epic Games has been around for a long time, but their store front is a more recent endeavor.
Carson Nelson
THE GAME IS FREE YOU RETARD WHY WOULD IT BE ON A FUCKING STORE
Asher Cox

Finland is geographically located in Northeastern Europe.
Poland and Czech Republic are more western than Finland.
Henry Barnes
Last good third person action game I played was Spec Ops: The Line.
Ethan Lewis
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Henry Gomez
Eastern Japan, or any part of Japan is not western. Japan is Oriental and has only recently gained Western influence after WW2.
Western. Western world = Europe, Americas, Australia, New Zealand
Carson Collins
>try playing through max payne
>enjoy it up to the flashback level in your house
>game keeps bugging and sticking me to walls
James Davis
Try Red Dead Redemption 2 or MGS5
Sebastian Rivera
>Japan is Oriental and has only recently gained Western influence after WW2
Jose Williams
Which Max Payne? I have all 3 but started with 3
Owen Murphy
>Eastern Japan, or any part of Japan is not western
Not that user but I think he was trying to say that
Western = USA, Eastern = Japan
Not that "Eastern Japan" is western.
He simply used lazy grammar and makes it hard to interpret.
Benjamin Lee
Control is the best TPS that's been released all year though.
Evan Garcia
BASED, so it's free then. Tim already payed
Hudson Powell
It's paid. I'm ESL and even I know that. But I would expect a EGSfag to understand his own language.
Justin Barnes
The first one.
