/v/ - Video Games

>Do you think things will get any better?

I think it's pointless to focus on how bad the industry might seem to be, I've found that every time I've thought this I've either dug in to the mindset and flat out ignored good things, disregarding facts to support my view at the time. A lot of /v/ still does this.

>Are there any realistic expectations for things to get better?

look forward to new games, there's always something good on the horizon. If you can't find any or think of any, you aren't looking hard enough.

>At the very least, is there any hope?

always.

>along with new ones, like Japanese ones that while slightly getting worse, aren't nearly as kiked.

I meant old ones, outside Nintendo which always markete big on the West, as a whole they're getting a bigger spotlight than last gen.

I can and I do thankfully, but I kind of miss when some of them had actual budgets and good production values, before investors started focusing only on mobileshit, Annual releases or shitty copycats only.

Seeing companies/brand I used to love getting axed or turning into zombies doesn't help either.

Do you think things will get any better?

Only Japan is salvageable at this point. It has a culture obsessed with cuteness and weirdness (meaning that their games can still be weirdly creative/imaginative, and also still have cute/sexy women star in them) and Japan is legitimately the only country left that jews never fucked over. I double checked, no, Triple checked this. Japan never fell for the communist ideology meme or allowed abrahamic religions to gain a religious minority. Effectively crippling the jews' usual entryist methods of corrupting a society (and by extension, their artistic mediums such as video games) from within.

>>15054127

It will once the video game industry crashes.

>Juden

>>15054347

It won't

>>15054479

>not-Jews with cuter girls and no plans for world domination

So not-Jews-at-all then?

>>15054333

Japan only has it's lack of niggers and jews going for it. But it's starting to fall for the late-stage capitalism meme, which is still pretty kiked up, men aren't really men, the work culture is soul crushing, and NEETS are becoming more and more of a problem, instead of a cultural quirk.

They're limping on and won't be able to stand up to shit once the doodoo REALLY hits the fan.

Creatively though, there are still those who take risk, and push their ideals through. Right now, they don't have the usual entrypoints for subversion, but if cracks start to show, I feel like the wolves will comedown hard on the country.

>>15054333

The word you're looking for is "ethnostate".

>>15054444

Your quads might be on point, but if it crashed once it can crash again.

>>15054603

It crashed once due to several factors that aren't present anymore.

The industry won't crash, the closest you'll get nowadays is mobile games which are on a bubble which will eventually burst in a decade or so.

>>15054603

it crashed for very specific reasons in a specific region that is controlled for by having the video game market be international and with ever-climbing sales figures. There won't be crashes, just slumps based on output from developers.

>>15054127

>Do you think things will get any better?

Yes.

>Are there any realistic expectations for things to get better?

Yes.

>At the very least, is there any hope?

Yes.

The hopeless and nopeless have no endurance and end up in the corner tired from their tantruming. Anyone who thinks different hasn't the patience for this voyage.

>>15054127

Just play Japanese games you dumb fuck

>>15063828

I do you piece of shit, read the OP

>>15063848

You don't say anywhere in the OP that you play japanese video games, you just passingly mention them once. This whole thread is retarded and pointless because we all know western games fucking suck because western audiences have shit tastes. You're just preaching to the choir. I literally made a thread like this ten years ago on 4chan as my first post when I was 14. That is what's your post quality is on the level of.

>>15063870

I'm fucking sick of seeing weebs suck off Japan for having good taste when Dragon's Quest and Call of Duty are both huge there.

Normalfags everywhere have shit taste, no exceptions.

>>15063870

>Some more good and unique games are popping up as well, as said new companies/devs try to market on kike companies failures, along with new ones, like Japanese ones that while slightly getting worse, aren't nearly as kiked.

I did you illiterate retard

>>15063879

The worst normalfag in nippon is basically on the level of a "hardcore" gaymer in the west. That's why games like Monster Hunter and Yakuza are their equivalents of Cawadooty with yearly releases.

>>15063899

>Mention I play Japanese games

<You just passingly mentioned them

You're a mentally ill schizo retard, kill yourself.

Find the phrase "I play" somewhere in this sentence and report back. We'll give you a few hours. Don't worry. Take your time.

Musou, now kill yourself faggot

>>15063927

>>15063917

You're an absolute retard

Kill yourself faggot

>Do you think things will get better

I have hope. I think at some point this cancer will shift itself to another medium once the majority lose interest in vidya, which I hope will be soon.

>Realistic

I don't think so. I can't quite find a logical explanation that would explain my hopes.

>any hope

Yep. There are still games coming out that I enjoy, so I'll never lose interest. I wish more good would come out, but there isn't much I can do besides learning how to code and eventually begin /agdg/ but at the rate I'm doing it'll be a decade before my first game.

I like that more of Eastern Europe is making games. Kinda diaappointed in my country this year though. That Mars game is really shit, especially compared to Victor Vran which those devs made before that.

>>15064045

At some point it will become bad enough such that the only way forward is for it become good again.

>>15064204

That's what I thought about last gen

>>15064206

We didn't hit this level of shit last gen. And hopefully, hopefully, the cloud gaming push will crash with no survivors.

Dumb to say that modern gaming blows- that's selective vision at its worst. Good things are still made. With the accessibility of game/asset development improving I'm sure we'll be seeing some better growth and cooler things on the horizon. There's already new stuff worth a look.

Unreal Engine 4 is shaping up to be something anyone can learn and reasonably develop quality games with. And it's already showing returns with interesting projects (escalation 1985, echo, ready or not, bright memory, that other tactical fps being developed by some brit dev).

I'm also happy seeing how more 2D dating sims are coming out with more western-influenced art. Not really something you used to see in the past. Unity and Ren'py both being responsible for that (though Ren'py is older but I digress).

The only way things will get better (from a social and political perspective) is if the normalfags get really riled up and actually make themselves heard. But the only reasonable way that would happen is if they did something like they made an unavoidable male gay kiss or trans conversion. But AAA devs won't do that. Because they know all hell would break loose if they tried. I think that would be the tipping point but since everyone's getting warmed up with "everyone is bi" in rpgs…

>>15063879

Fellating japan is dumb. Uninnovative shallow rpgs, musou clones, etc etc. They're good but they're not absolute saviors.

>>15064917

Japan makes the best games faggot. The only thing the west does better is strategy games. RPGs used to be good but it's all poz now.

I don't really have any hope, but I don't need any because I can just keep playing the same exact mmos in near(ish) the same state I originally played them in until I die old and alone in a nursing home.

>>15064996

And FPS, and Sims

>>15065081

Do you want to talk about it?

>>15065143

No. I kind of want to quote some RTSs now.

WALK SOFTLY, AND CARRY A BIG GUN

>>15063870

>durr Japanese games totally aren't getting worse too

Reminder that Capcom will not be the only Jap company to fully westernize. I'm surprised Konami didn't do this instead of becoming more introverted and gambling focused. I think Sony is almost there, but for now it's just their western games divisions.

>>15065174

Sounds like you're paraphrasing Teddy.

>>15065174

China will grow larger!

>>15065322

This gun is heavy

>>15054127

I hope for a crash.

I'll wait for you, dear anon.

Don't you ever lose your passion

>>15064045

You really think people are going to STOP stuffing their faces while playing shitty microtransaction-laden shitfuck games while they poop or ride the bus or get driven around by their automated car?

Naive boy.

>>15065257

>Konami sperged out because it was worried about Western influence and Kojima was poz vector #1

Truly the unsung heroes of the day

There will never be a crash, here is why: Industries only crash while they are controlled by non-Jews who have finite money and are vulnerable to outside fuckery (2007-2008 'crash' which was simply mass wealth redistribution to Jews). Jews, who for example, have been backing EA destroying the industry for decades via Goldman Sachs, don't have this problem. It doesn't matter if it makes money, if it doesn't it leaves more room for them to inject propaganda into its propped up corpse. This is why movies TV music and comics don't "crash" despite being much farther along in decay. Nothing bad and old will 'crash', only good new industries not under their control will crash.

I miss when games centred the player I'm the middle of the screen instead of being over their shoulder all the time. It felt like I was playing a videogame.

>>15054127

I doubt things will get any better in the west. We would have to have all the normalfags stop playing games completely to put an end to the (((games as a service))) shit and cinematic interactive movie shit first of all. Then we'd need devs that actually give a fuck to start being common again. I don't see these things happening. I think we can continue on like now with a few alright games coming out a year, but that is probably the best to hope for.

>>15054333

Japan is in danger though. More and more companies are finding themselves short of employees, so I fear they may start looking for more foreigners which might infect the country beyond redemption eventually. They are very proud of their culture and very collectivist so I don't think they would fall easy, but it is concerning.

Videogames being cool among normalfags is just a fad, r-right guys? F-fads are supposed to last ten years, right?

Sure, great games do get made, but the industry as a whole will never go back to being good as long as the normalfags keep eating up the shit that's being made

Experimental mid budget games are getting more popular. Nier Automata was a bigger hit than FFXV. I think there's some hope there.
