But you see anon, that's never going to fucking happen. Because streamers don't give a shit about games that aren't gimmicky, heavily marketed cashgrabs guaranteed to pull in viewer shekels like a magnet. Hence why the only way things are going to get better is if the industry crashes and these opportunistic vultures fuck off to find some other quick and easy source of revenue. But that's never going to happen, because devs will keep playing it safe and casuals will keep graciously eating feces.

Yeah but we both know we aren't ever getting a crash. What has to happen is a dedicated "hardcore" niche. There exists one but it has to be more clear that there is a section of people who want to play things that aren't Destiny or whatever and developers have to know that we are willing to buy good fucking games if they make them. Look at the Manga industry for example which has a lot of shit but also has a lot of good stuff because different groups of people are targeted to. I would be more than happy to have COD be shilled hard as long as there are still a few decently popular people promoting good games but all I can think of is a few people like Ross Scott who like showing people niche games. -autism over

Bitch about it all you want, but there's two saving graces to relying on streamers now - the influence of trash "journalists" that can't even complete the tutorial for Cuphead diminishes with each view some streamer gets, and players, and the one time you do see a game that looks interesting, you actually get to see some gameplay behind it.

Anon, you have to look at this from a marketer and CEO point of view. Because at the end of the day, their thoughts and opinions are the only ones that matter in this godforsaken industry. Even if such a "hardcore" niche could reliably prove to the industry at large that it existed and was willing to shell out for quality, do you actually think that anyone would care?

<hmmm, should we make low-effort garbage that will pander to the millions who are 100% guaranteed to buy our shit as they have proven time and time again, or should we take a risk and put actual effort into a game for the mere thousands who are actually passionate about video games to buy?

>>15235558

Obviously single player games can't just "die" as long as its possible to play them. But if specifically talking about online multiplayer games its still not really true. TF2 is considered "dead" by streamers but you can still find a match within a minute of booting up a game. Often youtubers and streamers latch on to certain games because they already have a massive fanbase. Overwatch would've been popular anyway because it's a Blizzard game. Many small streamers and youtubers still play games that are obscure because they enjoy playing those games.

Another good example, in my opinion, is Jameskii. He's pretty chill, has some variety, plays with his subs and followers, supports the smaller streamers which is how I realize how overlooked some these streamers are based on production quality, personality, or interaction. Also, there's one speedrunner that I watch that does all mainline Fallout games even 4 and he's pretty cool. I think there's a negative stigma against streamers because how most of us compared them to YouTubers, when in reality most of the streamers just want to have fun and share their experiences with us. I just hate the IRL section of Twitch, it's fucking terrible.

Honestly it was pretty good. The game was visually pleasing and even though you could rarely turn the tides of battles (because if the enemy team is better than your team, well your teammates sure aren't gonna turn this around, it's fuckin' action-based), every game was quick enough that you didn't have time to get pissed off before you started another match.

Deserved a better dev team for that art team but wasn't bad at all.

>>15235601

Well ultimately it's Motiga that brought this on itself when they got 3 fucking publishers during their game development period. If the game had been on Steam and xbox cross-platform and nothing else, it would've probably lived way longer and gained way more traction.

>>15235611

What pisses me off is that they are killing it. Hi-rez was full of greedy jews but at least they had the decency to allow me to play Tribes Ascend whenever I want simply by joining a private server. So many modern games are purposely made unplayable after the company is done with them.

Since this thread is turning into a discussion about making videos, what ever happened to Gather Your Party? For those who weren't around for it, /v/ made a game news site it was was surprisingly pretty good. A lot of people started making videos for it too and it's in part thanks to that that people like Turbo button and Action point got popular.

>what ever happened to Gather Your Party?

If you've noticed two things about /v/ users, it's that they:

>don't like rules or strict schedules

>don't like taking orders

both of which are necessary for a website like this to have a steady stream of articles/videos/podcasts. The site had some real hits (one piece in particular was a great summary of how Gearbox stole Borderlands's art style from a graphic designer and the short film Code Hunters, but there were also plenty of people who sniffed their own farts like Chris "arena shooters are literally the only form of well-designed video game ever made" Wagar and The Gaming Brit Show, who was actually pretty humble until fame spoiled him.

I actually wrote an autistic, half-RP article in 2013 about an experience I had playing RDR, but fortunately it wasn't up to their standards and they saved me from myself.

>non cucked vidya videos and news

AllGamesDelta is your best bet for raw information. I like GamesIndustry.biz for news coverage - they're too biased to ever write good editorials, but they at least report on facts when non-political news occurs.

It died during (and mostly because) of the 2nd exodus and GG. I know this because GYP actually helped inspire me to make videos in the first place and I talked to some of the people who were apart of it at the time. Basically just like with the split that caused the first exodus a bunch of people were mad at each other and mixed about the events happening at the time. People couldn't do the mature thing and just settle their differences so they crumbled. On top of that they also had a few other issues like if people should get paid for their work or do it for free. It hated seeing it go because I was hoping to one day apply for the place myself. But in all honesty it wouldn't be hard to create a new /v/ gaming news site. Just get a few /v/ youtubers (they don't have to be big) to agree to post their content as well as on youtube and have them provide a link to the site in their desciptions. You would also need someone willing to create the site but considering the guys over at the GG general were able to make Deep Freeze that likely wouldn't be too difficult either. Just get a bit of people willing to do it and it can be done. If I knew anything about building a website I would try my hand at it.

>>15235727

Simply because it's fun having people discuss the specific thing I am interested in. I don't fish for or expect views and will make stuff either way but more views means more people hear about SC2 which would be a nice thing as an example. I am happy that my Tribes Ascend video got more people to talk about the Tribes series and more people got to see how stupid Hi-Rez is.

A lot of games on twitch have some spectator value. There are a lot of good games that have little spectator value.

For example esports shit like league and dota will always get a lot of views since they're very friendly for using on an environment like twitch.There's enough variety going on, and in the less intense moment (when farming or doing w/e) the streaming has time to talk and address the audience.

I miss when devs would throw anything they could at the wall just to see what stuck, that's when we got fun games that weren't afraid of taking chances. Now everything is sterile and formulaic, new games don't have any soul or thought anymore. Boring and uninspired games would be stomacable if normalfags didn't create a market by gobbling them up en masse.

At least when people went to stores to buy games, they sometimes buy something on a whim, it turns out to be good and they end up liking it. Those days are over now, people only look at shit livestreamers or youtubers are playing. Good games are invisible, and thus the struggle to succeed financially is greater.

I'm sure if you were to dress like a faggot and start autistically screeching while playing Star Control 2, it would get more views.

The trick is, you need to get either relatively /fit/ with a handsome face, or be fuck ugly but distinct looking and funny enough for people to recognize you. Always have your face in the top left corner.

Start off your channel with games that are popular, but good. Invent a unique personality that appeals to autistic middle schoolers. Then, once you start getting more views, keep the same personality but start playing more obscure games. It has to be a gradual turn. Maybe one day you can be like

>he he, hey kidsh today we're gonna play some DOOOOOOM!!!

>This game is a motherfuckin' classic, you probably weren't even floating in your dad's ballsack when this game was released, god it's so old. xDDD

>If you don't play this, though, you're gonna have no idea what you're missing out on, imagine being able to talk with your grandparents about video games. I bet they love Doom, too. xDD

And then when you start playing Doom, start ironically freaking out every time you get shot. But play it skillfully and crack some weird joke every time you kill something.

Then repeat again for every game you play. Eventually working your way to some of the more obscure classics, like Star Control 2.

Screech-addicted children won't ever have the patience or taste to play older games, especially if they only hear about them through third parties. Channels like Mandalore or MatthewMatosis are tiny minorities compared to the legions of indistinguishable white trash weed addicts who play every new AAA game and think watching Markiplier makes them part of "the gaming community."

Of course there is. Just look at the mods for some of the games.

Modders are now developing on platforms already constructed. making products that far surpass vanilla versions. And they do it for free.

Representative or not those reps still technically have to be voted in by their constituents. And just as an example of how this means it's all merely a game of who has the most massive numbers, the US Democrats have realized that they can simply push for more rapefugees to influence the voting. Not immediately since we are talking decades here, but shitskins tend to breed way faster than anyone else that the effect will be exponential with each generation. Even the dumb Repubs realized the same thing and tried to court the shitskin vote in 2016. Democracy in all its forms have the same weakness: if the majority are stupid jackasses then it will always result in stupid policies and/or political conmen getting too much power, which is pretty self-defeating.

The only way to do that is to do something kind of unique.

Examples would be someone like Chuggaaconroy having the most comprehensive guide of Xenoblade Chronicles on the internet. I suppose he benefits, however, from getting famous for Pokemon autism.

Or Ross, playing whatever the fuck he wants, but he got big due to Freeman's Mind first.

I do, but I get no views on twitch, instead I use a smallish site that pays me every week where I also get almost no views but I get paid $80-100 a week for it I'm probably boring, I don't think I have terribly shit taste in games, although I forced myself to play overwatch for a good while thinking it'd be popular, and got an esports team invite with a super shitty contract in the process.

For example last 5 games I played were

>Warhammer: Vermintide 2

>Monster hunter online

>Rimworld

>Crash Bandicoot remakes

>System Shock

always refer to the social media / social space of your choosing to get recommendations for games, plus trying it first

the only thing that realy changed is that I can't rent games before buying them anymore.

Thankfully my backlog is so obscenely huge I will most likely die before finishing it, especially with all those 40 hour+ JRPGs in there. Plus my memory isn't the greatest so I have no problem replaying games after a while, I'm replaying the original Half Life right now and it's almost like a brand new experience. Not to mention all the mods for games I haven't tried yet.
