/v/ - Video Games

Single Player Games are dead.

/v/

>this game is way too linear!

also /v/

>this game is way too complex!

make up your minds, autists

Almost all the games I play are those types of games, and I'm even picky about which ones I play. I think you'd have no problem finding ones you like. I play plenty of new ones each year. If I can't find anything new at the moment I play something old and almost never ever replay games because replaying games is poison.

As soon as the open world fad dies we will start seeing shmups with nice single or two player campaigns which span a few hours and tell a nice, concise, well paced story.

The novelty of wandering around a virtual field can't last forever.

>implying /v/ is a hivemind with one single opinion

>>15342918

>/v/ is one person

>>15342958

My most anticipated game of the year will be a linear game.

>>15342958

>As soon as the open world fad dies

IF the open world fad dies..

>>15342911

>I can hardly find any modern games that fit into the same mold as Half-Life

NuWolfenstein and nuPrey. And yet /v/ hates both.

What are you talking about faggot? Modern Military shooters have this all the time, checkpoint A to B and so on, its too linear there

I still liked it though for MW1 and 2, sue me

>>15343039

Try playing Delta Force Black Hawk Down.

>>15343039

Are codbabies even worth suing? You're broke from all those $60 dollar games, microtransactions, and season passes.

>>15343032

Forgot about NuWolfenstein but NuPrey still falls in the quasi-RPG/open-world mold.

>>15343041

I'll check it out, thanks anon

>>15343055

technically those two games were before those things iirc, though MW2 might've had some DLC added to it a year or two after; come to think of it that might've been one of the first examples of DLC added to a game

>>15342911

NuDoom has been bringing it back pretty convincingly.

>>15342911

all the cool memekids play fortnite, dota, lol, csgo, overwatch, and pubg my dude :^)

Linear is god tier if its a finely crafted experience, with every level bearing the creator's touch. Cowadoobie is not this because theyre hallways. Same with open world. If it looks like some computer procedurally generated it, you need to go back to the drawing board.

>>15343039

I wish they'd jst go back ad remaster ALL the MW games. We'll never see another game where the terrorists you are fighting are actually what the fucking terrorists would look like, rather than "fucking a White male." Imagine a really well-made MW type game with modern graphic where you had to save Paris, London, Stockholm, etc… from the current invaders? Now not only does every military game HAVE to center around the West's foundational myth of WW 2, but even the protagonists have to be stronk wymn with pink hair and tattoos fighting le ebil nazis. Just a Kang wasn't enough for the BAttlefield cucks apparently.

We're currently in an open-world fad (though not the only fad that's going on right now). It's an easy way to pad the length of your game.

>>15343323

Also, all modern open world games are faux-open world. They're linear games with linear story and linear progression, only set in a sprawling world.

>>15343444

And except bethesda games, I haven't seen a truly open world AAA game made in the recent years. Even bethesda's open world is more restrained than what they used to be back in the arena-morrowind era, I especially don't like how the main story hinders the openness of the game and marks a ton of NPC's as invincible just because the devs don't want you to fail a quest.

>>15343449

isnt that just a matter of changing a few things in the console or with mods? dont tell me bethesdas ever made a game that was good without mods.

>>15343032

nuWolfenstein is only 6 hours long, half of that is unironically cutscenes, and the other half lackluster gameplay (so no wonder anyone hates it). nuPrey is semi-open world, like System Shock. You don't traverse a world with different continents and peoples, but there is non-linear gameplay and free access to most areas of the game nearly from the get-go.

I feel ya op and even Multiplayer is the same boring non linear shit first mmos ruined objective game play now this battle royale meme

>>15344211

<I've never been to an arcade

>>15342958

Nah we're going to see MOBA or battle royales made single player first. I can see it now, a team of shitty AI with everyone still somehow getting mad at the other players.

>>15342911

Metro Exodus

Stalker 2

Butterlords

Walking Simulator

need I continue?

>>15343323

pirate/boycott everything

>>15344097

>this isn't reddit-chan

/intl/ was right tbh

>>15344215

>I'm more of a loser than you are so that actually makes me cool

instead of boycotting everything and staying on course with the mission of Gamergate, dumbshit /v/ devolved into bitch fests about who's the older oldfag.

any sort of good singleplayer game are hard to find in market flooded by crapware for dollar, its dragging any sort of good experience down with it

remember good singleplayer stuff doesnt start AAA quality, a lot of work goes into it and theres chance its better than rest and people buy it and then they make more of them, very self contained

you could say oh, isnt that how every game is developed, yes but its a lot easier to create a map and fill it with crap(and set up servers if its multiplayer) than to spend years crafting gameplay/story

>>15343323

This

normalfags with the attention span of a fly can't enjoy anything unless they're shooting someone every 30 seconds.

Also MP is cheap as fuck compared to single player story heavy games. Just drop 10 people in an empty map and you got yourself a vidya game

Single player games require a degree of craftsmanship, which costs more money compared to hiring 200 soys to make something that auto generates the content for itself.

blame normalfags for not having any quality standards. back then you had to make an appealing game for it to shift units; now nobody knows what quality is so anything can sell on marketing.

There have been quite a few, sleeping dogs and darksiders come to mind, nu-tomb raider is also linear as fuck, even the collectibles are easy to get without a guide since the map is tiny.

>>15342911

I enjoyed Call of Duty's campaign. Thought COD Ghost was really fun, like a bad B-movie kind of ridiculous.

>>15343444

Precisely, because you can't really progress anything without going the path they want you to go. Sure you can go arbitrary side-missions that mean nothing in the end but it's still go from point A to point B if you want to beat the game.

There's a lack of choice aswell.

>>15345118

>tfw have more fun with CoD games playing the campaigns than I do playing the multiplayer

Modern Warfare 1 - 3 were all fantastic B-movie fun action romps. Black Ops was nice as well

Since BLops4 has no campaign, I have no desire to even touch that game

>>15345132

And i like the idea of Black Ops but too bad they aren't want they set out to be, actual shady operation-squads doing assassinations. That would've been a really cool concept of a game if you could've just been part of a military hitman squad. Kinda like Splinter Cell but you're more likely directing an elite unit of military-hitmen.

Never liked MWF. I think it was because it was qiuet literally sponsored by the US to get youths to sign up to the army.

>>15345118

>>15345132

>Defending any CoD after WaW

Damn, I hate to have really great timing.

>>15345284

Leddit doesn't even know 8ch exists

4chan /v/ is reddit as FUCK though. An unsalvagable cesspit

>>15345307

Based.

They're still coming out, but people hate shit for the sake of hating it.

There's plenty of them. Like every cawadoody with singleplayer has a linear campaign. We used to have nothing but linear games, now we got linear games and more open ended games.

>>15342915

you are dead

and fuck you very much.

>>15343538

>isnt that just a matter of changing a few things in the console or with mods?

If you're okay with failing the main quest, sure. It's not like New Vegas where you can continue the game regardless of who you kill. But NV is not completely nonlinear either because there's nothing beyond the ending screen, you're expected to complete the game.

>>15345328

Nudoom was pretty good by modern vidya standards. Tons of things bothered me with it though, those god awful mini-cutscene "glory kills" and the fairly cramped maps which rarely offered enough enemies to kill. I was really hoping for some nasty waves of countless of enemies going at you rather than the small packs we were given

>>15342918

How about a nice balance between both? Not every game needs to be open world and not every game needs to be linear. It's not one or the other.

>>15342911

The open world meme and syphoning money out of MMO retards is less effort and makes more shekels because the herd are fucking retards.

>>15342931

>almost never ever replay games because replaying games is poison.

This is very true for a lot of titles. Unless they're made with an emphasis on different routes replaying just makes you realise how much time you wasted, how bad your taste was/how thirsty you were

>>15342918

That just means different people are retarded in different ways.

>>15344211

>>15344215

No nigger that pirates games is going to an arcade for anything other than the comedy of seeing parents bled dry.

>>15344589

Hey

>we

can do both

>>15344661

>its a lot easier to create a map and fill it with crap(and set up servers if its multiplayer) than to spend years crafting gameplay/story

*cough* Fallout 76 *cough*

some people say everything is better with friends but in this case it would be pretty gay so im not going to do that. so whats great about this game is how theres constantly new updates and cameos from characters that i like, its erally open source. the only thing wrong with it is its one of those games you dont really want anyone walking in on you playing because its masturbation. im talking about masturbating it was all a big setup for a masturbation joke.

>>15345284

you seem to know an awful lot about reddit for someone 'not from there'

>>15348746

Yep

nuDoom was pretty good game

shame about the glorykils tough - those got old really fast and with most abilities you were encouraged to do more of them

at one point i got ability that if i glorykill i get armor out of that and another ability which gave me infinite ammo when doing glorykills so i was basically god destroyer of world using the most powerful weapon with infinite ammo most of the time

an i liked the classical old fps almost maze like level design

>>15342911

>wanting linear map design

>>15349987

>nuDoom was pretty good game

The "I have never played a good fps before" posts

>>15350017

Half life has quite a few loops in its level design though, even though the route is mostly static.

>>15350042

Warrant canaries for federal law have been deemed unconstitutional

>>15350083

Yet they are still issued daily by the secret courts.

>>15348746

Honestly I thought the glory kill shit was alright. Even when you don't "upgrade" them they're less than a second long. They're fun to do in tiny doses.

>I was really hoping for some nasty waves of countless of enemies going at you rather than the small packs we were given

Doom was never really about quantity of enemies. But IIRC the reason why there weren't that many in nudoom was because too much shit going on would crash the engine with no survivors.

>>15350363

>I suck at compettion lmao, f-fuck arcades

nah kys

>>15343032

They're both not that great, that's why. Compare either of those to the original Half life.

>>15345284

I can agree with the bans, but other than that you're retarded and need to go back.

>>15351798

>kys

can kys niggers leave

>>15351798

>competition

Jesus Christ go run a marathon.

>>15351798

If you're going to tell someone to kill themselves at say the actual words, faggot.

>>15342911

Dead Cells is pretty good, as long as you don't mind random generation.

>>15361388

Love you hatenames, btw.
