/v/ - Video Games

finding things boring is a part of growing old

>>15005370

E3 is now a presentation of how soon, if at all, it will be worth upgrading your rig. Hint: it won't be this year.

>>15005370

Yes and no. Yes because it's giving me little to hope for in the future and has just become a reminder that this shit will stay the same and/or get worse unless I begin to handle things personally. No because, with all the depressing stuff to look forward to, I'm scouring through tons of past stuff that is actually rather good, and I'm finding all this stuff myself without having to rely on someone to tell me what I should and shouldn't partake in.

>>15005427

But it's because I'm getting older. I still very rarely feel the same kind of excitement displayed in the video for games that are actually good, such as Tropical Freeze and Sonic Mania.

>>15005456

But it's not because I'm getting older.*

>>15005456

Those two games appeal to your childhood

>>15005488

Ori and the Blind Forest doesn't.

>>15005490

That's not cringe. You don't know what cringe is, /tv/.

Cringe is making an impression without a solid impact.

I.E; OC's and creepypastas.

A simple image does not cringe make.

>>15005370

I never have. By the time I started watching E3 announcements, I was already a cynic.

>>15005555

>webm

I get SCM's premise, but there's a difference between surveillance cameras and what he does.

99% of all surveillance footage ever taken in stores will probably only be seen by 1-6 people who work as security guards, most surveillance footage outside is never looked at by anybody unless a crime happened in the area recently. Surveillance footage records indiscriminately in specific locations.

What he's doing is going up to random people, specifically targeting them, not leaving them alone and uploading the video later for all to see.

He was being extremely disingenuous when he acted like those two things are the same. t. former security guard who worked with CCTV. It's a mind-numbing job.

>>15005370

Sometimes I let myself feel a bit of excitement for an announcement before I bring my expectations back to reality. It's sort of like buyer's remorse with Bethesda games, but faster. I'm not saying I got excited for Angerlands 2, but I did enjoy the idea of a sci-fi Mad Max game that was actually good.

>>15005564

You merely adopted the cynicism.

>>15005553

>giving a (you) to someone who posts a forced twitter meme

>>15005370

Smash Bros and DMC5 were pretty good, but other than that it was pretty shit.

>>15005370

Ill give you a hint

video games are for children

anime is for children

you are becoming an adult now, start acting like one

>>15005595

Who it targets and how they're targeted is a non-issue if you ask me; rather, it's an issue of consent. SCM only got the same amount of consent that other security cameras and CCTVs get. That's what he's trying to show. It doesn't even need to be indoors, most cameras are pointed outside and have a direct line of sight with many strangers - basically accomplishing the same thing SCM was. He is definitely in the right.

>>15008223

But anon, isn't posting on imageboards for children too?

>>15008211

>NuDmC5 aka DMC2

>good

It's like DMC all over again.

>>15008258

ya, stop posting on imageboards is a first good step

>>15008211

what about daemon x machina?

>>15008266

ok but please lead by example by doing it first

>>15008244

Your argument only works if you remove absolutely all context of what CCTV cameras do and what he's doing.

>>15008272

Forgot about that one, gonna buy it day one.

>>15008262

Wait for gameplay

I am excited for some games.

Sekiro

Tsushima

Nioh 2

RE2

DMC5

and a couple others I cannot think of right now.

There was some good stuff at E3.

I'm disappointed that you have to play exclusively japanese games if you want to play as a male character though.

>>15005708

>implying your "racism is bad" posts aren't a forced meme

>>15005708

>>15011061

sorry wrong poster

>>15005708

You are right.

>>15005370

That is because you have become a better human being. Now you see the announcements for what they really are: corporate shilling for low quality products, made to deceive you into wasting your money on the corporations that own them.

As for the western games, they did not became shit. They always were shit. And now you know that.

>>15008223

It is even better to purge the other demographics and force the medium to be made for me.

>Does anyone else miss feeling genuinely excited for new game announcements at E3?

>>Does anyone else miss feeling genuinely excited

all the time

>>15008266

Then fuck off

>>15005370

Yes.

But I am excited for some things that were announced at E3. DMC5 while having some poor art direction will play well. Nioh 2 should hopefully make some things in Nioh better while ironing out the grinding, farming and loot-a-thon. Sekiro should be fun, a bit of a departure for From Soft, not a Souls game anymore. Cuphead DLC will add more to a great game, plus its DLC being worked on for about two years, something new there. Cyberpunk 2077, while not technically new, will probably be fun.

I don't think I was ever really excited for E3. Spaceworld, maybe, but the news would reach me quite late for that. From around the time I actively started following E3, it's been quite bad. Not as bad as it is now, but crap nevertheless. At least now it's funny crap, instead of just boring with little of interest.

Nah I've accepted videogames won't get better and we're just here just to laugh

>>15005370

I think one of the problems with E3 is declining trust. Developers seem to come to it with having to have a big flashy all CG trailer or scripted gameplay and then the final game never lives up to what they showed (Re-Core, Watch_Dogs, TLoU, etc)

Satisfactory got me pretty excited. A 3D Factorio in a huge, handcrafted open world with multiple biomes sounds too good to pass up. Being able to see the true scale of your factory seems neat.

>>15034943

I only see one problem with 3D

It's not going to get as big as Factorio

>>15005370

I miss cinematic openings and when games had basically 0 cutscenes barring those for intro, outro and some minor bonus ones.

>>15034949

I dunno' there seems to be some pretty big factories in the trailer. Also, they seem to be hinting at being able to build a space station as well, something that Factorio was supposed to have.

>>15023636

Stop using that forced meme

I feel games are just spinning their wheels, currently. Up until we've gotten a big boost in graphical quality every generation, as well as some big innovation every generation or two.

>basic "arcade at home" pong machines

>8-bit generation brings to the forefront the idea of games as big adventures, rather than simple arcade experiences.

>16-bit generation is the 8-bit generation, bigger, better, refined

>the first 3D consoles

>the mastering of 3D game design

>heavier online integration, graphical quality plateauing

And now we find ourselves here. There are games from a solid ten years ago that still look almost new. We're still playing basically the same games we were playing then with only minor innovations. VR is kind of lurking on the horizon, never quite managing to take off. Nothing has really happened in a very long time.

It was really refreshing getting excited when Smash Bros ultimate was announced. Yes. I missed that feeling.

>>15035095

Pretty gay reaction image, anon. You're basically my bottom now. What a fag.

Devil May Cry 5, REmake 2, Mega Man 11, Monster Hunter finally off bing bing wahoo machines, fuck hand helds. I am excited to see how Capcom's redemption arc plays out.

Plus Snake is back in Smash voiced by David Hayter. Metroid Prime 4 and Bayonetta 3 are on the horizon. Cyberpunk, Sekiro, Tsushima, Nioh 2, all look like actual video games and not movies. Nintendo's show was disappointing. That mech game looked fun though. Fallout 76 could be fun, but there is no way I am buying it anywhere near full price. I am interested in it solely for the fact that there is no story. Bethesda is only good at making big worlds to goof around in and explore. This cake looks like all of the best parts of Bethesda's games with none of the shit parts.

>>15035489

All shit. Especially the Crapcom games. Crapcom is in a downward spiral.

>>15005490

>>>/leftypol/

>>15035608

You would have to be completely blackpilled or willfully ignorant to think any of those games look bad or "shit" in any regard. Perhaps Fallout 76 but even I think that comes with a lot of stipulations where of any of them falls too far off the mark it's a day never buy even on sale for me. I am sick of you niggers. Everything is shit waaaah. Fuck off.

Monster Hunter World was an incredibly fun game. DMC5 and Mega Man 11 look tight too. They look like actual video games instead of cinematic shit. Just fuck off if you don't want to talk about video games. No one is forcing you to stay here.

>>15035781

Things are looking more promising than they did a few years ago, normalfagss are waking up to some of the biggest tumors but are mostly ignorant still. But it's progress. They are shItting on the new BFV and are growing weary of socjus shit in general. That Han Soylo film bombing and Disney cancelling all future spin offs are signs of things to come for these fucks. The future is looking brighter every single day.

>>15035489

And a lot of those games look good, but at the same time they aren't exciting. We've seen them all before. I feel like we're waiting on the next big innovation now. Graphical improvements don't impress anyone anymore. Game mechanics aren't really going anywhere.

Someone needs to make a VR game that actually justifies buying one of those things, or blow us out of the water with some amazing AI, or something.

>>15036165

The only real innovation it seems they are interested in is making games look more film like. I mean how would you innovate? Take stock of it. Because it's harder than you think. Think about it. Gone Home was innovative. Not in a way that is good for video games but it still took new ground that inspired a bunch of shit imitators.

>>15005553

>YouTube celebrity

>not even HookTube’d

It’s like you wanted your opinion to be disregarded. On top of that the video is retarded.

>>15036188

Well, I just said. Make VR actually good, or push things like AI to new levels.

>>15035016

>NuNero

He looks like a rejected character from FFXV

>>15005370

The market is oversaturated. The video game industry has started to model the anime industry. There's a towering amount of content to sift through, but only a small portion of that is good. As the medium continues to shift into the mainstream, it will only get worse. Even genuine works of passion, like Cuphead, end up flopping because it becomes consumed by marketing and fandoms.

There's nothing to feel excited for when there's nothing good on the market. Games are no longer made for us. They're made for the lowest common denominator. Not even Mario Odyssey was fun when it came out.

Yo Noid 2: Enter the Void was the best platformer to come out in the last 5 years.

>>15036436

>Make VR actually good

The problem with VR is the movement issue when walking/running around the environment, there still isn't a good cheap way (for home use) to emulate walking without the VR hamsterball, those 360 degree movement treadmills (with the special shoes) controllers or just the lazy method of just making you teleport everywhere. The exception to this rule being vehicle simulators where you are naturally sitting.

I would hope that VR arcades could become commonplace and lower the costs for VR home equipment.

>push things like AI to new levels.

The sad fact is you could make AI smarter but people (normalfags) will drop the game once they can't beat them. Something akin to the AI Director from the Left 4 Dead series that tries to measure the players stress levels and provide a good challenge of enemy difficultly/item placement might be a better option. Valve even has a bio-metric version of L4D2 whose AI Director reacts to your pulse/skin conductivity(sweat) to get an accurate read out of your personal stress to make the current level a challenge, I would say that would be the future for controllers to be bio-metric measuring capable as standard.

>>15036330

Explain what cringe is then, you dumbfuck.

>>15005370

Up until this year, yeah. This E3 was a pleasant surprise for me though. There were a few games I wanted to see and I got to see (KH3, AC7, Smash U) and there were a few titles not even on my radar that I got hyped for after seeing the trailers (Sea of Solitude, Daemon x Machina). This year is a good year.

>>15010925

>RE2

Unironically kill yourself.

>>15035720

If you're sick of this place you never liked and don't want lurk then go back to Reddit you fucking queer. Monster Hunter World was westernized casual garbage for morons like you.

>>15036067

YOU ARE THE NORMALFAG!

>>15042531

Why not just have movement be tied to a thumbstick on the hand controllers?

>>15042764

Your life in middle school.

>>15034943

>factories are still out in the open

>memecraft style

Fuck this, where's muh factory simulator with a very industrial feel, remove the fucking grass and give me a massive junk yard to scavenge with the core goal being to turn the seemingly endless pile of trash into valuable products.

The business suits in charge have destroyed the gaming industry.

No more cathartic excitement for games anymore. All that's left is to watch the industry burn.

>>15043054

It's okay Anon. One day you will get out of middle school.

>>15023636

>>15005490

Ban this filth mark

>(2)

Yes!

>>15043105

>Why not just have movement be tied to a thumbstick on the hand controllers?

Good point, though I would imagine that there would be complaints about "MUH IMMERSION" even though it makes more sense than point and click teleporting.

>>15005427

Bullshit.

>>15005370

How could I miss something I still have?

>>15073221

Brawl was the last time Smash Bros was exciting. It's routine now. It'll be a good game, but it wont set my world on fire.

>>15036455

>looks great

>"It doesn't look great"

It is you that appears the reject.

>>15035095

I like this author, he made some great doujins.

>>15034943

Wait really? That kind of kills my interest in it. Oh well.
