zoomers and streaming killed gaming.

>6/20 of them are published by Nintendo
Holy fuck I hope their next system is a Wii U style flop.

>mainstream pokemon and Mario kart on the same console
I dont think their are enough stupid decisions Nintendo could make for it to flop

the golds still there you just have to look a lot harder

>best selling books are Twilight and Percy Jackson

Literature is indeed dead in the water too.

Xbox trannies said Kirby, Pokemon, HFW and GT7 flopped. What went wrong, xisters?

a baseball game lol

name 5 good books

Your first mistake was playing mainstream trash. Every single big company is either out of ideas or has shit ones.
I haven't played a AAA game in a year and I've had a wonderful time playing through older/more niche titles.

Looks like the hobby is based as fuck to me
Enjoy malding

>same type of list since very late PS1/PS2
Wow, it just died did it? This is all shocking and new is it? You are now 22 years old, balding and all games look the same to you don't they?
Play something different than mainstream or new stuff, go on a journey of real taste discovery. Baldness can be coped with by pretending it is because you are a bulging mass of testosterone or you can get hair implants.

Rune Factory 2
Black souls 1 and 2
OFF
DMC3
Library of Ruina
Just a few of the old/niche shit I played/replayed last year. Like I said user, there's way more out there than the fomo flavor of the month game that normies are currently eating up.

don't be rude btw, i like them all very much : - (

It's as alive as ever, it just left the main stream so it can prosper and evolve again. You still are on the kiked pipeline. Gotta leave that one to have fun again. But you will also have to leave your RTX muh graphics shit behind. Fun is now here the graphics aren't. And the best? You can run it alll on a MiSTer. And the kikes get nothing.
It's all there, user. Waiting, to be discovered again. But it won't be served on a golden platter, you have to do the work yourself first.
Like it should be.

Not my fault you only play the latest ubisoft releases, bro.
You asked for 5 games, so I gave you 5 games, stop whining like a woman about muh gaming is dead and give a smaller game a chance.

That is a lot of very old stuff, user. Did you try to play it safe or is your taste just THAT based? What is your favorite book of all time (except for LotR)?

There's a balance. Sony is already anti-consumer and somehow considering the PS5 a success, despite games dropping to $20 left and right. Cocky Sony + Dead Nintendo = Zero originality or competition.

Marketers aside, Microsoft will never stand a chance.

Holy shit, Ghostwire Tokyo flopped. What happened?

>The Name of the Wind
HAHAHAHAHAHAH
AHAHAHAHAHAH

holy fuck you have got to be kidding me

What chance did it ever have? Some throwaway title that was filler at various expos.

I've not read a book in 10 years.

>How did you know?
your smell

What are you on about? Gaming is bigger and more popular than ever, and if you can't find anything you like you're either braindead or a liar.

>No!

No when it comes to mediums that arent really tech dependent I prefer to have a 20 year rule on what I can consume( really hate using that word but I can't think of another one). But to answer your question my favorite book of all time is probably concept of the political by Schmitt

Missy says I smell like a chad. Isn't that right, missy?
She said you jelly. I say I don't even care. Enjoy your Aids kid. It won't last long now anyway. Your "games" are soon over because the West is fucked. True story son... true story.

I'm just happy Tiny Tina flopped

I see. Why though?

what's funny is Microsoft (and the xbox brand) is the only one that will survive the upcoming crash. cope and seethe nigger.

I am a cat was never intented to be a "good book", you're just a weeb listing books you saw on your anime

No.

it's the funniest shit i've ever read, good enough for me, and you're a tasteless nigger who thinks every medium has to be 2deep4u

For why I only consume books written 20 years ago or why concept of the political is my favorite book?

How much did Sony spend developing it? How much did Sony spend marketing it? When you add that up is it more or less than they made back? All you have is a vague list of what was best selling and are hoping to extrapolate from that when you’re lacking the data to do that. In short, you’re a stupid faggot and should kill yourself.

We're just 4 months in you retard

eldenchads won

Little anime, I'm going to tell you for your own good: if you share that list in real life when people ask you for your favorite books they'll think you're very poorly read and just listing the five titles you've actually gone through, while also finding it slightly pretentious. That'd be embarrassing!

Bro that entire book is just
>I did something INCREDIBLY badass
>and then everyone clapped
repeated over and over.
And don't get me started on the
>I'm a virgin but somehow as able to fuck so good that a fuck-fairy kidnapped me for 100 years and we spent that entire time fucking
shit from the second book

yea, the dude is somewhat of a cuck, but i like the books despite that. i dont let a couple of flaws ruin my entire experience with something, otherwise i probably would not enjoy anything at all.

is that why the most successful kickstarter ever was for books just a few weeks ago?

Games are no different to music theres shit for the normies which sells on mass because... why am I explaining this?
All music is dead because Bieber! the thread.
Hyperbolic cunt.

No liberals and progressives ruined video games with their faggot ethics departments

>New IP from AA janklord japanese rpg devs is #1
>for another week in a row
Gaming is saved not dead. A new IP is beating out sequels. And doing it handedly. Passively. Confidently.

>[The game I don't like is popular]
>noooooo the game industry is dead
Why are you retards like this?

>>I'm a virgin but somehow as able to fuck so good that a fuck-fairy kidnapped me for 100 years and we spent that entire time fucking
that part was fucking stupid and is my major issue with the series

Lots of great indy games came out, faggot, list those.

reading will become way popular again when the energy goes out. and soon.

bet on books again user, we will have no computers in the future anymore.

tracer tong ending because once russia stops all energy exports it is over for amurka and the west. literally. that's why the noses seethe so hard, they know the gig is up :D

Stop playing aaa slop you dumb goy

Videogames are not a hobby. They are entertainment. Do you think watching Netflix is also a hobby?

The books are 100% held up by Rothfuss' Shadow Writers ability to write prose. The actual story being told is awful, but the neat wrap around of it being a story in a story being told by a story teller elevates it more than it has any right.

and yes, he actually had a shadow writer write books 1 and 2, there was a falling out between them, and that's why it's been 10+ years with only the first paragraph of the prologue (which is another of the "silence in three parts" openings) being finished this past year

>this nigga just decides to write 5 surprise novels while in the middle of writing two planned novels, all because he was 'bored' during covid lockdown

I will never not be amazed at Sandersons work ethic. His books are generally dull and flat as all hell, but he cranks them out at an absolutely insane pace.

Not even that, it's
>the game I used to like because nobody else liked it doesn't make me feel special anymore because everyone realized it's fun

movies can also be a hobby yes. the netflix comparison only works if op had said steam is a hobby

Calling Elden Ring a new IP is a bit of reach considering it is basically Dark Souls 4

lol

(You) didn't answer me, why are my 5 books pretentious?

It's Demon's Souls 6 actually

Making movies yes. Watching movie, Mek.

>considering
>basically
Is it a sequel? Is it really Elden Ring 2?

Look lad, Moby Dick is my favorite novel ever. I love it to death even though its a meme at this point. If I tell people its my favorite book they all think I don't actually read and its the only book I know.
I still tell them its my favorite novel, because it is and its the greatest literary work mankind has ever produced.
