/v/ - Video Games

Sony and Steam's fanbase have been pretty cancerous when it comes to the recent censorship, coming up with all sorts of rat-tier justifications.

Its pretty disgraceful to see.

Blizzdrones are usually the worst though, they live in a near-permanent state of stockholm syndrome. Nintendrones give them a run for their money, but I think they take the cake. I never expected the backlash against Immortal to be this bad, but for once Blizzard actually went too far, hilariously enough.

Bethesda fanboys are pretty bitchy and annoying, and will come up with the funniest justifications to defend their games. (remember the "its not a bug, its a feature" meme?)

Those are what come to my mind

So did anything interesting get released with the leaks?

Some are just prone to that behaviour, it can't be helped.

Be it commies ratting on their neighbors for good nutrition points or eceleb losers writing shit for internet upboats, sucking cock in front of the big man tm will always be a viable alternative for the weak.

To stay on topic: there's kojima praise as if he alone made mgs and nobody else did anything. In reality, every single thing in the games was made by 2+ staff minimum, and only thanks to their co-op were the games made.

>>15793507

My brother recently got into WoW, and the Blizzard cockgobbling he tells me about is insane. Some of these guys are on absolute "thank you for the beatings, master" tier. There are those that unironically ask for Blizzard to raise the price of microtransaction items because "they work so hard on this game they deserve more money".

Normalfags kiss the ass of corporations because of personal attachment. The much more pervasive threat is the man who claims to think in terms of how the economy works and will still say a corporation is well within their rights to abuse their consumers because muh market will set everything right.

Daily reminder liberal capitalism as proposed by Ricardo (you will better know it as the Invisible Hand theory) entirely relies on a fictional, idealized state of the free market called the Perfect Competition which cannot possibly exist in reality, yet every lobbyist defending big corporations will insist it's the way the world actually works, so abuse by corporations is perfectly normal because customers will totally wise up bring it back to normal.

>>15793512

Full versions of many tracks, both teased and unknown, including all the story mode stuff.

Full list of spirits - several of which were censored, most likely to meet a Cero A rating in japan. See the censorship general for more on that one.

All cutscenes, and the fact that the Story mode has virtually no story.

The final bosses of the story mode.

Aside for that, basically just more footage of what everyone already knew.

>>15793505

OBSESSED

>>15793525

>"they work so hard on this game they deserve more money"

Yeah, that's pretty much the Blizzdrone tagline or something along those lines usually

I remember when they finally introduced microtransactions into Starcraft 2 and people did the same thing there.

>they're a company they need it to survive and keep the game going

What a fucking joke.

>>15793539

>entirely relies on a fictional, idealized state of the free market called the Perfect Competition which cannot possibly exist in reality, yet every lobbyist defending big corporations will insist it's the way the world actually works,

I'm glad someone called it out. lolbergs and ancaps can't seem to wrap their heads around this. The U.S. is infested with oligopolies and in some cases near monopolies/duopolies thanks to this shit.

>>15793541

>All cutscenes, and the fact that the Story mode has virtually no story

Lines up with Sakurai's butthurt about Subspace Emissary. Was the final boss cool at least?

>>15793505

This, of course. I will fuck your mother's corpse, Mark, and make you watch.

>>15793570

I'm not talking about nintendo I'm talking about how obsessed you are with mark. Not a single person in this thread has defended the scum that is nintendo.

>>15793561

Vertical climb while fighting both Galeem and Dharkon, then a boss rush, then a proper fight with the previous two. Before this you get to play as Master Hand and fight the whole roster.

was breddy gud

In a Godless society, corporations and governments become the new figures of worship.

>>15793496

I think that that kind of leaks it's done on purpose, to align the consumer base whit the 'muh piracy is bad' and to infiltrate them.

>>15793591

Don't forget celebrities and personalities.

Pretty sure everyone is pretty happy with 3ds hacking and switch hacking and I have not seen a single person come in and say "dont do that" instead we shill for how good their games are while enjoying it for free. We prefer free games over anything.

>>15793507

This. People that still consider themselves fans of Valve need to be kneecapped.

why would you want to rage

I don't think the word normalfag is right. This corporate cocksucking is from soyboys. Most normalfags I know of try to find ways to cut costs or become friends with "nerds" that can hook them up with a Raspberry Pi with a trillion games.

Of course know of you niggers would know about that because everyone here is too incompetent to figure out how to make something like that.

>>15793672

Didn't you know? Literally every aspect of a game down to the most obscure and innocuous mechanic is considered a spoiler nowadays.

I once saw some faggot complaining about spoilers for BotW because some other dude mentioned you could ride deers if you snuck up to them.

I want soyny to tongue my asshole

Holy fucking run-on sentence.

How would the millions of fans praise the game, and how would they know it was amazing if they waited like "good honest people" and didn't play the leak?

Also

> there are millions of people who praise your game incredibly

"Incredibly" doesn't imply what they think it does here.

>>15793496

I hope someone SJW'd him for being such a Drumph supporter there.

>>15793722

Assuming you're not baiting, I have to ask:

Do you really believe that there was a single person who pirated your game that would have bought it otherwise? I don't. Most would have looked at it, noticed the price and fucked off to do something else. That's how it goes most times: find game, search for torrent, it isn't available, forget the game ever existed.

>>15793505

you strike me as the kind of person who would ip hop and make a thread when they got banned for trying to derail a thread

>>15793737

>Do you really believe that there was a single person who pirated your game that would have bought it otherwise?

Not him but while every pirated game download isn't a lost sale there's definitely a big chunk that only pays if they have to and they will do so. This can be seen in multiplayer games, I'm pretty sure their sales are better because of a lack of piracy options. People will take the path of least resistance to get their dopamine fix and that means they will forego paying if that's inconvenient in any way. But maybe you're a broke nigger with no way of paying anyway, then sure, that's not a lost sale.

>>15793704

It wasn't suppose to be like this.

>>15793496

So what is the ending to World of Light?

>>15793740

>Eh, I'm a non-dev but I always buy games from developers I like that make games I'm into.

It's nice that anons can find devs like that. I sure as hell can't. My four favorite games of all time were made by three devs. One series was killed, two were killed and raped and one is still alive but nowhere near as good and the money from it would be funneled to fund twenty other series that I think are shit.

It's Deus Ex, Silent Hill 2, Castlevania 3 and Mario 64.

>>15793780

everyone was a sperm trying to race to the egg

>>15793740

I can understand that ethos. For me, I pirate games I might like even from developers that I have a preference for like Vanillaware which more than often enough make games that jive with me, for the sake of trying them out before I buy just to make sure I'll actually enjoy it before I buy it. I see it the same way I see shareware: it's just seeing if I'll like the final product actually buy it. Just as long as you see pirating as a practical issue rather than a moral one.

people who acquire things for free in a perpetual state of butthurt. a familiar sight amongst the negro community

>>15793617

>Mark is /v/

Now you just went full retard.

>>15793790

Yeah, I miss shareware and demos. I too quite like Vanillaware's offerings, but I have a confidence in their quality so I don't even bother pirating.

As for morality and ethics this is just not the industry for it. Were games physical goods that each took resources and labour to make in terms of quantity then things would be pretty simple but them being digital information coupled with the absolute awful business practices of almost all publishers makes it impossible to moralise in any way about piracy.

>>15793854

can you trust demos though? theres a lot of incentive to put your best foot forward with that, and sometimes thats the only part of the game that isnt a slog.

>>15793853

This may have in fact sped up the cancer

>>15793860

You'd might think that but all demos I've ever played were very representative of the whole game. Some were even neat standalone things that wasn't in the main game but was a representation of what you could expect from the whole thing. Because unlike trailers there's no way to really cheat in demos, if the core gameplay loop is fun then you know that instantly. But then demos were a thing back when games weren't as stretched out so maybe today it'd be different with the open world 200 hours of gameplay fad.

>>15793906

it was the "proof of 101 fans" who got a copy of Wonderful 101.

>>15793906

Kind of funny seeing as how you quoted 2 different IDs

Why do people characterize Sakurai as this Phil Fish-level crybaby who's gonna off himself because his game broke street date?

The guy's a fucking mature, intelligent adult, yet his fans seem to be defending him and coddling him for shit he might just consider a minor annoyance. I don't hate the guy, but the cult of personality around him is quite creepy.

Is it because of that interview where he said the reason Sm4sh had no story mode was because SSE's cutscenes were up on JewTube? Because that's clearly a gigantic fucking lie, the real reason was because they poured all the cutscene money into the trailer.

>>15793525

My favorite are the people begging for Classic to be a separate sub from Retail which I honestly though would be how they were going to do it, instead of them running on the same sub. Wouldn't be surprised if they increased the sub price soon, though.

They're pretending because they do not want to admit that the PS4 does not have the best graphics ever.

>>15793722

You should be making games that are fun and are happy people are playing it. Money is secondary.

>>15793754

You can pirate multiplayer games and play with other people who pirated the game.

>>15793507

You're a dumbass. That's like saying because you can perform physics simulations of surfaces without friction, that implies physics relies on the assumption friction doesn't exist. A "perfectly competitive" market in economics is analogous to a limit in calculus.

>>15793722

Just so you know, this is why ivory-tower FOSS developers look down upon game developers as the lowest form of programmer.

>>15793496

The CoD/Battlefield thing is pretty incredible these days. Every year the same group of people choose one franchise as the better one, and invent convenient reasons to attack the other. When they flipped a coin and it landed on Battlefield, they said Advanced Warfare was bad because it had jetpacks; when it landed on Call of Duty this year, they said Battlefield 5 was bad because it had feminism in it, even though they suck Rockstar's dick for making a game where you have to escort feminists around and make fun of men.

It's made even better by the fact that all of these games are exactly the same as one another, so it really just the logo they're fighting over, not mechanics or story or anything.

Leaking games is something exclusively done by eFame chasers.

who the fuck you trying to fool faggot.

You should see the dick sucking the paypigs of patreon give to each porno Dev when they take a month off without update. And not stopping payment either.

It's disgusting, look up the Lilith's throne thread on /hgg/ if you want to laugh, and laugh with rage.

>>15793505

Judging by these butthurt replies you have a point.

>>15794308

I haven't looked into Black Ops any, I hadn't heard of any feminism in it, but if that's the case then it only makes it more glaring, that they criticize it in one and not the other. And at any rate it thoroughly disproves the "get woke, go broke" idea, because the standards are so arbitrary.

>>15793505

Can someone please just end these fucking retarded liars already?

>>15794440

>>15794205

Nigger did you just compare physics, an actual hard science to something as subjective, fluctuating, and reliant on humans and psychology as economics?

Practical value of economics is far more relevant to businesses and governments than the theoretical and everyone who isn't an obtuse retard knows it

>millions of people praising a game that isn't even out yet

sad thing is this is true, never underestimate the sheer quantity of the nintencel. Late stage capitalism is a joke, people are unironically brainwashed man

>>15794333

Paypal is the absolute fucking worst. It encourages devs to be lazy pieces of shit. Whether it is pay per update, and they want your money for a bug fix in the span of a month, or not do anything for months, but collect each month. There's also no incentive to complete a game, so it causes not just lazyness at worst, but feature creep at the best of times. Because the faggot dev knows that once the game is over, the next project might not catch on, will loose patrons, and then they'd have to go get a job that they can't get due to spending the last 5 years self employed making a fetish porn game and good luck putting that on your resume and getting away with it.

>>15794700

>Why would anyone do that?

you tell me

>>15793754

>Not him but while every pirated game download isn't a lost sale there's definitely a big chunk that only pays if they have to and they will do so.

Protip: Every single person who doesn't buy your game is a lost sale, whether they pirated it or not.

>Not him

We have ids here >>/cuckchan/

>>15793722

What games do you make so I know to not ever buy or even pirate them?

>>15794711

>Protip: Every single person who doesn't buy your game is a lost sale, whether they pirated it or not.

Unless someone who pirates it talks about it to others who in turn buy it themselves. But that's too hard for some people to think about.

>>15794721

I don't really see that happen and I've been pirating games and have been around pirates for like 15 years now. Closest you get to anyone saying that is the .nfo of the crack

>>15794641

>Asks for screencap of Mark banning anyone who criticizes Nintendo

>Get screencaps of people getting banned for overwatch-related posts

Seems like bullshit bans, and Overwatch is a shit game, but it's not what he was asking for.

Looking it up, neither DMC5 nor Overwatch are even playable on a Nintendo console, they're PC/PS4/Xbone games, so it doesn't really help your argument.

>>15794700

>Why would anyone do that?

Try a little harder, anon. It's quite obvious that you're a /tv/ crossposter.

t. occasional /tv/ shitposter

>>15794721

The point I'm trying to make is that if you have ambitions for your game to sell, then every-fucking-one who plays games and is not playing yours is a potential "lost sale", even those who have no idea how to pirate a game. I just hate seeing people try to target those who pirate as exclusively being "lost sales". At the end of the day, if no one is buying what your selling because your game is shit, the marketing for it is bad, or a combination of both, then you have a fuck ton of lost sales.

>>15794745

This notion can go terribly awry. It is the cause for the "women are half the people to play games, so or games must change to be inclusive to them'. That is incorrect, because not everyone wants to play every game. If you have ambitions to make a game, you cannot make a game that will interest everyone. Some faggot can make some furry VN and the fact that I don't know about it isn't going to influence my buying it or not, because I would never have an interest to play some furfaggot crap.

>>15794736

>/v/ is a fucking test of patience and willpower some days

I know what you mean. For years now these fuckers have been trying to push the idea that this board is full of nintendrones and I just don't see it. All I see is a bunch of faggots that try to start up console war shit at the merest mention of nintendo.

Sure, there are the smash threads and shit like that, but there also the gatchashit threads, the overwatch threads, the undertale threads. There are no more nintendo fans here than there are fans of any other shitty game or company.

>>15794755

>If you have ambitions to make a game, you cannot make a game that will interest everyone.

True, but again, if you have ambitions for your game to sell and make a profit, then everyone that you expect to buy it and in turn doesn't buy it because they're just not interested in playing it (without even pirating it), that's on the developer for making a shitty game and/or the publisher marketing it badly. Moreover, even if your game doesn't appeal to everyone there's a possibility it might attract customers who weren't interested in whatever type of game you're making initially but have their interest piqued because of good marketing, or word of mouth. That's what I mean by if you make a game with the intent to profit from it, then everyone is a lost fucking sale, piracy or no piracy.

>>15794764

>>15793505

>Bethesda fanboys are pretty bitchy and annoying, and will come up with the funniest justifications to defend their games. (remember the "its not a bug, its a feature" meme?)

Apparently, this is one of stupid /v/ "consensus" based discussion like those "unpopular opinions" threads which is usually full of shitty normalfag opinions. Don't point out there are still Bethesdrones here.

>>15793505

I hear this all the time but there have been multiple threads shitting on Nintendo for censoring Smash. No one really gets a free pass, the only problem is every company is fucking everyone over so hard that half the posters here are like beaten housewives running away from one abusive partner to the next in hopes they'll be beaten slightly less by the next one. For example anyone that likes weeb games is running away from Sony and hoping Steam or Nintendo will be their savior and both companies have inconsistent and questionable practices.

TL;DR:

It's all shit anyway , modern vidya is dead and we're only here to suffer.

>>15794843

>Look at >>15793507, look how nobody is throwing a hissy fit about it.

He's actually criticizing fanboys and companies.

You on the other hand haven't even given one criticism about Nintendo.

>>15794913

Basically this.

The worst thing about EA aren't their practices, it's that their practices subtly allow other companies to get away with doing the same shit, just less of it, so they're better by comparison.

>>15794921

Correct, also older consoles and flash carts.

>>15794905

Also, I might add

Illegal hardware is not a thing

Illegal software (when it comes to ripping your games) is not a thing

Short of actually pirating shit and distributing shit it is impossible for them to do anything to you legally besides attempt to force you to settle out of court for fees.

They can't even sue you again if you keep ripping your own games.

>>15794924

I mean, if you complained that Samus's tits got smaller or about AM2R getting taken down or something, and then argued with people who defended it, that would be one thing. But it's like you don't even care about any of that.

>>15794943

As it is legally defined however, downloading them does leave you liable.

Essentially everything else is legal. No matter what EULA they get you to "Agree" to.

>>15793994

Some points that make this true? How?

>>15793539

Corporate lobbyists pay lip service to the free market, but they never lobby for freer markets, because big business is the eternal enemy of the markets. The last thing any business owner wants is to have to compete harder, because people are lazy. I'll never understand the monumental persistence of anons in their unending misrepresentation of the actual position and arguments of Ancaps. "Market forces" i.e. what makes the "free market" work (and it does work) are also present at all times in every economy, regardless of how restricted by non-economic forces (politics) that market is. That's why communism fails. If Ancaps were wrong, communism would work. It's a little like how Spinoza said that god has no laws which man is capable of breaking.

>This board

Other than Mark, do anons actually buy current year Nintendo? At least most of their consoles are possible to hack or emulate, and those that don't will be easier over time. I've seen more anons on this board talk about buying Vita shit than any other recent console, and Sony is objectively worse than Nintendo at this point.

How bad did Xbone flop? It's probably the least shilled console I've seen here.

The problem, according to ancaps, is that the market isn't free enough. Remove the government support mechanisms and these bad businesses will fail, or at the very least, they wouldn't have been able to get to the point they are now (which may be self-sustaining) without government help.

>>15793722

Literally anything related to nintendo since the beginning of time.

These people behave like straight up cultists despite their darling having only two successful home consoles in it's lifespan of several decades, one when it was completely alone with no competition only to get destroyed by sega at the slightest hint of competition and two because it was selling a light cardio device to pensioners and nursing homes.

>>15797483

>only to get destroyed by sega at the slightest hint of competition

Is that why Sega is developing games and console today?

>>15797489

Case in point.

The moment a competitor showed up based nintendo lost the market to a newcomer and would have been dumpstered If sega wasn't ran by petty, slant eyed retards too busy having a dick waving competition within their own company instead of making money, and last time i checked sega is still making games, yes.

While some developers within the companies do care for these things, the main goal of the company is to make as much money as possible. It's like defending Amazon or Apple despite them fucking the consumer over ten fold.

>>15797978

Yep.

Most large companies have no passion anymore, or if there is anyone with passion they suppress it and constrain it towards how they can maximize profit. They're quite literally soulless and faceless at this point. many games these days created by these companies are being fucking engineered to extract money from your wallet, its a fucking disgrace to the medium.

Here's the thing, there'd be no problem if they were engineered to extract money by providing fun, interesting, new and unique gameplay experiences. Instead, they create shitfests filled with purchasable pixel dances, weapon skins, and the ability to bypass 99% of the game. It only works on certain people, but those certain people are a large enough portion of the people who play video games that it actually works and allows video game developers to put food on the table somehow.

>>15799901

I'm sure he's just trying to fit in like rotten redditor

Piracy to me isnt a purchase/money, its a service/fuck kikes problem.

Enjoy your "fuck piracy" merit when the entire industry is going to go digitial, physical drm by streaming consoles and no refunds for beta testing. Ill give money to a dev if it goes straight to them, which is dirt fucking easy to do now adays.

>>15793560

As long as we're talking bullshit economic assumptions, this "they work so hard on this game they deserve more money" nonsense blows the idea that people make perfectly rational economic decisions out of the water.

I once had to pirate a game because the steam version wouldn’t stop CTDing the moment I launched it. Also

You’re just supporting the dev by buying it, there’s no moral imperative to play the legit copy once you’ve bought it

>>15825116

>Literally nobody stops, uninstalls, reinstalls with DRM/Denuvo

You're right, I wouldn't buy a game with DRM because I'm not a fucking retard. I have, however, bought games that I pirated because they ended up being very good. You're either a fucking retard or trying to bait by posting this, essentially word for word repeated, objectively false and retarded bullshit.

I think MPC had a name and a description for these types of people that are now seemingly plaguing most of entertainment and the corporate world. Alas those faggots are now asking for a $20 fee to dox myself and I ain't having that. There is however something seriously going on with people that actively protect and argue for corporations, and corps have gotten out of hands, what the fuck happened to the Libtards that were anti-corp? They seem to have done a complete 180 and now they are the ones defending them 100%. Not to mention these fake cuckservatives that will cuck out for any of them. Everything is shit these days and barely anything is made with quality anymore or with common sense/logic.

If you're nineteen and have no idea why you adore videogames―you’re just enchanted by them, you can’t help yourself―dude, is this ever the thread for you. You are the core demographic for this particular shitpost. Put down the hand-controller, read this right now. I can promise you that you will grow in moral and intellectual stature. Instead of remaining a twitchy, closeted, joystick geek, like you are now, you will emerge from this patient master-class as a surprisingly broadminded adult who quotes Geroge Rockwell and appreciates improvisational theater and helicopter rides. You will no longer kill off parties with your Warcraft fixation. Instead, other people your age will find themselves mysteriously drawn to you ―to your air of quiet sympathy, your contemplative depth. Wise beyond your years, you will look beyond the surface details of shrieking monsters and into the deeper roots of human experience

A great example of corporate worship right here on /v/ is that shill that keeps trying to push the idea that you're a pedo if you care that Steam is back to banning games despite claiming they don't want to police the market. He even tried to make a thread dedicated to the idea that anyone who doesn't like Steam is either a pedophile or paid shill for Tencent's new distribution platform.

Of course not that would be fucking stupid but have you ever read a scene NFO? They don't tell you to install the shit version of the game only to support the game by buying it.

Valvedrones said no to paid mods. (It was Bethesdrones and console fags who said yes, big difference)Valve drones are the only ones who hold developers feet to the fire on technical performance. Aside from game lore junkies like VNN. Valve’s player base is more than willing to shit on Valve, and any other company who acts against there interests.

Valve fans are leagues above everyone else when it comes to their consumer temperament.

They are the sole reason PC gaming still has some semblance of pro-consumer mechanisms. Origin fags don’t fight like valvedrones. Uplay fags don’t fight like valvedrones.

Everyone here who acts like the people who use Steam are equivalent to Sony fags are delusional.

>>15825914

Does anyone actually believe there was a time when games came from a "pure" place? Sure, in the past there may have been less kikery, but it's not as if the developers/publishers made this shit for the hell of it.

Crash Bandicoot was made primarily by a programmer, artist, and then some art they had to subcontract out. Obviously they wanted money (they were spending time and money to make it) but they weren't doing it to fill to the brim with commie poz and it certainly isn't your 2 year business cycle where everything is maximized purely for audience appeal and profit. Think of it like a sliding scale between "why isn't this part fun enough?" to "how do we get more fucking retards to buy our product". Giant (((companies))) are purely on one side and will shit on everything they touch.

I'm responding way to late to this post, but some countries in the EU brought a huge crackdown to piracy and succeeded. The movie companies then proceeded to lose profits by more then half of what they used to make over the years when someone decided to look into that and they were expected to continue to lose more and never rise above 50% of what they originally had. They didn't look into video games unfortunently so studies of how pirates spread the Word of Mouth and buy the most is aboute the only real litmus test you can use. Oh and about a third of pirates buy games while the other two thirds never will even if they have to.

I really wish I saved that source.
