Twenty years ago, video games and competition were words often used side-by-side to describe fighters, racing games and any game that provided a competitive experience.

Today, fucking Fortnite is king. Shitty fucking fortnite has taken over the entire fucking industry. It was a tech demo that become the fucking industry standard. It's graphics are shit, gameplay is 5 years too late and has the most shitty progression system in anything to date. Why do people play this?

What kind of unfun piece of shit plays this for hours on end? Faggots have come to a point where just high player number = fun.

Holy shit how much lower can it go?

The people who work on cinematice games aren't people who would make it anywhere in the movie industry though. The majority of people still see video games as children's toys. It's not the fags, it's the trannies. The trannies have always been undermining computers and their software, since the days of the microcomputers.

Video games have just become the new Hollywood. Large corporations like EA and Ubisoft want to make as much money as possible, and they typically try to achieve this goal by appealing to the lowest common denominator while simultaneously homogenizing the production process. In addition, said corporations tend to harbor a cynical apprehensiveness towards creating anything for niche audiences, given that doing so will always pose a risk of investment and return. This results in products that provide overall "safe" experiences, that don't change much per each iteration. This in turn makes the consumer base a more homogenized "community", in which every dickhead and his mother have played the same dozen games over the course of half a decade or so, which in turn sets the expectations for newcomers and alienates older players.

So, there you go. Video game production has been standardized to the point that it is akin to "fast food" in regard to both consumption and distribution. Even so, it's still possible to find a variety of games to play, so quit your bitching and pick up a title from 20 years ago that you never had the chance to play.

Among all the dumb shit being said, one thing that particularly irks me is the art thing. I've already said this a thousand times before: the West has a gigantic problem understanding what "art" means. Videogames are already "art". Have been since videogames' inception. Devs are taking advantage of the misinterpretation of this concept to profit. It's not that videogames are being "turned to art", it's that they're made to push for agendas by taking advantage of the fact that people think that only things that "send a message" are art.

We live in a merchant ruled society, so competition is not valued.

Competitiveness is only valued in warrior, and priest ruled societies. Because warriors believe in the best rising to the top, and the priest class is supposed to believe in objective truth and natural order.

If we can successfully remove the merchant ruler/parasite class from the top of the hierarchy and replace it with a ruling warrior class we could have 200 years of prosperity, minimum.

>Why do people play this?

because it's free and normalfags make memes about it, it's not complicated. Epic played the field correctly and popped the game out when people were unhappy with the state of other battle royale games, a bunch of new AAA games are about to drop and COD or battlefield will go back to being top dog for normalfag multiplayer for awhile.

>everyone in the thread going on about le merchant

the casual and the normalfag enables the jews behavior but normalfags constantly shift interest, fortnite has had no strong competition for awhile but now that games like battlefield and COD are just going and making BR a gametype instead of a full game I expect normalfags to jump ship to the game with more options, and probably quickly realize the battle royale is boring. BR is fascinating in the sense normalfags like it because it's the least normalfag friendly gametype I can think of. It boils down to luck and RNG mostly, you can spend 5 minutes just wandering around looking for another player only to get sniped and sent back to que, COD would have you back to shooting other players in 7 seconds. We should almost hope that BLOPS200 shakes up the normalfags by having multiple gametypes including BR and zombabs and the market will be forced to actually add more content to their games again

Reminds me of something I once wrote, except minus the political soapboxing.

As a member of Generation X (admittedly a very late member, but not quite late enough to qualify for GenY, at least not sociologically speaking; I usually think of myself as some kind of GenXY) I actually saw it completely the opposite [of that the 90's were depressing].

The 90's we're nice. Really fucking nice. Even growing up in a middle-class family, it was easy for a kid around 10 years old to see that the world was gorging itself on a great excess. It was like a modern version of the Roaring 20's, and despite the historical precedent that that was followed by the Great Depression, nobody but some dour economists and the usual apocalypse-callers dared presume that it might happen again. Food was cheap, gasoline was cheap, parties were grand and often, vacations were often, jobs were plentiful and paid well. Houses were easy for even poor families to own (or at least mortgage…). As a kid, it was a time of awesome video games and endless candies and cookies, when the future was turning into Star Trek before our eyes, the internet was new and boundless, and toys and games were increasingly electronic. The "poor" folks you knew weren't living paycheck-to-paycheck, weren't renters in crappy apartments, and did not worry about the bills or about taxes or about their car; the kids of those folks were just like us, except they only had an SNES instead of an N64, and their candy was a little cheaper. Maybe they still had a walkman instead of a CD player; maybe they didn't rent movies from Blockbuster quite as often as we did. The biggest fear was that the world's computers would come crashing down when the new millennium rang in, and that was only because most of the world still did not understand computers.

Then, almost like a flash, everything went wrong. Everything went to hell in a handbasket. Personally, I don't use hard dates for generations or decades, because culture does not follow hard dates. The 90's didn't really end when the year 2000 started, the 90's ended in the fall of 2001, and I think all of you know exactly when that was.

The world changed too fast. The technological future we were going into changed from the hope and endless possibilities of Star Trek into the fear and control of Orwell's 1984. The promise of space exploration, which made every kid on my street want to be an astronaut, died entirely. Wars were started for reasons nobody really understood. A force of evil — terrorism — which was both everywhere and nowhere, omnipotent but indestructible like a cloud of poison gas, began to threaten us all. Through everything, as a child and teenager, I was left feeling powerless, unsure which figures in power to point the finger at.

It was as if I was left standing in the ashes of all those dreams and hopes of mine, asking the wind: "What the hell did you DO to my world?!"

The adults over 50, of course they cannot understand. They ask us what more we could want, when we have food and clothes, a roof over our heads and no looming threat of worldwide nuclear war. What we lack, of course, is hope that it will ever get any better — which is something they had. The world is staring us in the face and saying that this is the best we're ever going to get, so get used to life this way. It's crushing.

Is it any wonder why so much of the media and fiction of today is apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic in nature? In a small way, that is exactly what happened! The idyllic, optimistic world of the 90's was destroyed by the Great Recession and 9/11 as effectively, if insidiously, as if it were nuked into oblivion, and what replaced it was a world much more dystopian and dark and grim than ANY of us wanted or expected. And it's up to us, the GenX & GenY, to pick up the pieces and try to set right what our predecessors and parents fucked up.

I haven't played Fortnite or any of those typical flavour of the month games, but I assume it's a clear case of It's not a good game, but It's Fun With Friends™. Back when I was in 7th grade or so in the early 2000s we had Counter Strike. It was a shit game, but it was fun to play together so we still played it every lunch break at the internet café next to our school all together and it's probably the same with Fortnite. Everyone else plays it so you play it too with the rest of the nigger cattle. This is nothing new.

These anons are correct. The curse of mainstreaming is not merciful to any medium. The democratization of production/publication somewhat offsets this, as you can find some great niche stuff from small devs; it's impossible to ignore though, that those gems are obscured in a massive pile of mediocre, market saturating shit.

Would the heights of classical music have been possible without aristocratic patronage? If it had instead been an appeal to the sensibilities of the commoner? I seriously doubt it.

The 2001 - 2015 were a horrible period and I'm sure someone who spent the first decade of their life in this period is going to agree.

Everything became more expensive due to the currency shortage created by (((private))) self-proclaimed national banks. There is more debt than currency is available. Progress, real evolutionary progress, has slowed to a crawl and horribly began reverting in some cases.

These last two to three years have been looking better at least, if only for being allowed to mock the recent past.

I started reading Warhammer lore recently and read the "End Times". Now I get all the hate for the Age of Smegmar.

I have seen people discuss the new post-End Times lore unironically and not to shit on it while looking up other stuff. They exist and I can't fathom why, GW has jumped the shark ridiculously hard on this one. It's even worse that there are numerous actually decent Warhammer Fantasy games that all take place during the Age of Strife, or in Vermintide's case during the End Times (which is the same era, but during the apocalypse of that era so you get to see all your favorite WHF locations totally ruined). It still makes me laugh that Vermintide is a shameless rip off and improvement on Left 4 Dead with a Warhammer theme.

Eh, Vermintide is a rip off of Left 4 Dead in the same way that every FPS ever is a rip off of Doom. L4D invented the co-op horde survival style of game, and Vermintide took the formula and ran with it, but the games are sufficiently different from eachother.

I've been crossing my fingers for years that GW would realize what a colossal fuckup the End Times was and pull a New Coke, but the more time that goes on, the less likely it seems. They're incompetent.

Also what dosen't make sense to me, is why hasn't GW made any headway with a 40k or fantasy warhammer movie? If they can make a shitty movie about WoW, which ironically is based off of Warhammer, why can't they make one? A 40k Movie or Fantasy I think would sell regardless if they are too afraid it's too much of a small fan base. The Characters/Story are already interesting, they would just have to take any event in the universe and make a film about it.

I guess GW see it as too big of a risk. But that dosen't make any sense to me since the movies coming out of Hollywood are all the same rehashed shit over and over again that everyone is tired of seeing.

nah echo players who try to drone rush eat shit constantly, I use him a lot more since they buffed him and I consider him a legitimately good operator because if he actually works with his team his effectiveness spikes way up, and he gives defenders more cameras helping slow rushes down

It's actually really fucking good, it is modelled after 2nd edition which was also very good. 3rd edition was to WHFRP what 4e was to D&D. But unlike D&D 5e it is not shallow as fuck compared to the older edition it was based on because GW finally made their 20% roll on good licensing decisions. Here's a mega link to the rulebook, it's pretty amusing to read. Also probably one of the least subverted RPG rulebooks in the modern era.

Also just to drive home the point that nobody aside from the type of shitters who also play standard MTG plays Age of Smegmar, it's set in Age of Strife.

The subversion of big capital and politics, and the complacency of the people being subjected to this corruption. You get ruined by either profiteers or ideologues, or fucking both, and they always come followed by hordes to rape and plunder. This has happened to every single medium and it will keep happening until we stop the industrialization of art and entertainment.

I don’t expect them to change or anyone to come and do it for me; I’m content with the conviction of doing it myself in the future as soon as I can. Fuck everything indeed, let’s stop whining and start doing something.

I forgot.

The good old developers of the West were all conquered by the promise of progress and demolished shortly after, when the usual suspects (Sony, Eidos, Ubisoft, Electronic Arts, Activision and some other grinders) began to acquire every major studios under the sun, back when games, even ambitious ones, were realistically made by teams under less than 100 people and with reasonable budgets. These companies destroyed a functional culture of skilled and dedicated enthusiasts and replaced it with a bloated, disjointed, soulless mass process of wasteful expenditure, poor work ethics and fraudulent advertisement.

The Japanese just imitated this and failed so hard they're now desperately trying to fix it (even the likes of Capcom) by finally somewhat appealing to their customers.

Sony and Microsoft opening the flood gates to everything unholy with PS3 and Xbox 360 didn't help, not to mention Valve inventing and promoting the scummiest schemes on PC since at least TF2.

Unfortunately that's just business and many pushes by these companies were successfull simply because the modern average consumer is braindead and with millenials being the biggest consumer force as of now, we're all fucked.

You can blame the attitudes and values that have been pumped into our society over the past 70 years. Video games were hyper competitive. Calling someone shit at a game was normal behavior. Now it is "toxic". Our society has been infected with crybabies and gussies and it's all cultural Marxism's fault.

Could you have not been anymore educated? Sunnis do not do tequila or taekwando or takeshi takanos yet the only ones who bomb people in filthy western countries happen to be sunni (or at least claim to be sunni and not some extremist whabbist).

He's right. "EVERYTHING'S SHIT NOW!!! BWAAA!!" threads are really fucking boring and absolutely overdone. We have a minimum of two per day. Every. Single. Fucking. Day. It's obnoxious. If you really think everything's shit now, then talk about older games.

>>15440437

You're falling down a slippery slope of "blame previous generation" when it's not really that. You can blame parents for their children misbehaving, but you can't blame the previous generation for raising the nowadays parents that suck at parenting. Once the child grows into an adult, he's perfectly aware of the world and can choose how to continue his education and how to shape his morals and attitudes by himself. Sure, psychologically speaking he'll always be shaped by his parents' child-bringing, but unless his parents were extremely fucked up and tortured him as a child, you can change your ways as an adult and adapt to fix yourself and become a better man. When you're an adult, you no longer have your parents to blame.

Everything went shit when the jews took over. First their destroyed the Reich and painted nationalism as a bad thing, then took over the sciencefields and painted patriotism as a bad thing.

Disregarding the obvious /pol/faggotry in this thread, if you hate the fucking game so much, don't play it. Simple as that. I hate fortnite, so I just play Quake and Doom, which both have very healthy mod scenes.

Shit's just too big to be a niche, it has to be for everybody. And by everybody, I mean the thrashfire tumblerettes, that can't focus on one thing for longer than a new tweet from their controller.

I mean the hipster devs that actually think that everyone in the world think like their friends.

I mean the holy trinity of reviewers, literally whos, and "producers" rich kids, and their 0%tax fund money.

I'ts all really goofy. It's like a parody of something that never happened. I'ts like a mental patient is playing all the roles in a play, but with the same voice and zero effort to even try to bring out the characters.

Shit's gone sour, but in a good way. I like games way more than before shit got bad. Playing Survivor Kids on GBA-emu is amazing after you've seen how shit all the new games are.
