/v/ - Video Games

I've always enjoyed how Rare's old shit did humor. Also, reminder that the Donkey Kong Country series is the pinnacle of platforming, it's only been downhill every since.

Stop trying to turn every thread into a blackpill thread, faggot.

Or maybe he doesn't want to admit that it's his nudes.

It's a very flamboyant game, although the comedy is less in your face than Conker's Bad Fur Day it still gives off bizarre and raunchy vibes.

>i miss all the immature but incredibly funny humor in video games

You know what game's humor I really miss? GTA.

GTA 1&2 were just so ridiculous in their absurdity, where you had a gameshow announcer, and a cheering crowd to go along with it, even the audience going "awww" as you died. Then 3 onward, the Housers decided it had to be the fucking Sopranos, or Boyz n The Hood or Behind Enemy Lines, while the only form of 'comedy' is outright satire that's too on-the-nose and lacks any subtlety, have to make sure the twelve-year-olds that play now, have some understanding of what R* is alluding to when it comes to a country that they don't even fucking live in.

Saints Row 2 did a nice job at humor, in that perfect mix between immature fart jokes and some serious shit, that's the kind of stuff I'd actually want to see more of. Not that I'm opposed to immature/funny humor through and through, but seems like all of the humor delivered in games now, are solely intended for kids, anything remotely topical is handled with kid gloves.

>but anon, isn't that just the definition of immature and funny humor?

Not really, because you can still be immature and funny, while being somewhat cohesive and intelligent. Context and subtlety are two wonderful elements of comedy that fell to the wayside within the past fifteen years or so, and it sucks.

I can't stay mad at anything when this webm is playing. It's quite miraculous.

On a less important note, everything you said in your post is100% correct. Saints Row 2 was the peak of crime sandbox autism. Shame it went full multikult poz.

Blackpill anon is right. Like every other aspect of gaming humor has been streamlined by triple A and pozzed by indie. Back in the day you had all sorts of different types of humor.

Longest journey had sarcasm

Runescape had tons of dry british humor

Oddworld games had farts

Earthworm jim had slapstick

Bard's Tale (3d one) had rude puns and poked fun at the rpg genre

Conker had shit, puke and blood

Nowadays you really only have 2 catagories of humor. Tame dad jokes in triple A games and 'WACKY!!' in indie.

The kind of wacky found in adventure time and rick & morty now in your shovel knight, iconoclasts and hat in time. The unsubtle kind of "WAHOO Z0mg let's adventure!!" kind of wacky that permiates indie games along with pretentiously dark and deep like some kind of tagteam tumor.
