>Once shining beacon of civilisation tier city existed years ago

>Now for some reason, be it plague, natural disaster, isolation, loss of resources, magic, science or something else the city has fallen to ruin

>You are a lone explorer going in, with no idea what to expect and the deeper you get the worse things are going from 'feral murders in generic ruins' to 'people that are now as good as monsters in some twisting nightmare at the root of it all'

From Bioshocks Rapture to Demon's Souls Boletaria, from Hollow Knights Hallownest to fucking Brinks floating utopia lost at sea the idea of being a visitor to some grand work of societal construction thats fallen to utter ruin has the strange kind of appeal to me as really well composed photography of dilapidated and abandoned buildings in real life. I love to fight enemies that are more melancholy and sad than epic and like post-post apocalyptic games where the world ended, society restarted but regards rusted out skyscrapers as 'temples of the ancients' or some shit that feeling of 'you dont even remember how much you have lost' seems like the most effect hook to get me interested in a videogame.

Do you have a comparable feel to the feel i am feeling deeply?

Yeah, hell settings. I like the anxiety of survival and the creativity that can go into trying to disturb or motivate the player.

I love it when memekids say what they actually like, instead of just shitting on everything, and inevitably it's incredibly retarded like the fever dream of a 5yo watching pewdiepie.

>he's serious

Fine. A hipster is the kind of starbucks slurping, aesthetic-prioritizing cuck who plays Hollow Knight. They don't care about whether the game is actually good, just whether playing (or claiming to play) it will give them "nerd cred." They then use this "rep" to impress others like them, and the cycle of faggotry continues.

A neo-hipster is a soy-guzzling leftist faggot who thinks they are the vanguard of taste while in reality being a shallow politically-motivated philistine.

Please inform me further, anon. Or better yet don't and go back to 4chan, videogames aren't allowed there so you may like it more.

I hate those settings. What the fucking point in fighting for something when the entire world is shit? Not even your life is worth fighting for, because you'll be living in a shithole without any hopes of ever rebuilding or even making a good life for yourself. It also kills my desire to explore, because all I'm going to see will be ugly or disgusting.

Dark Souls is more of a standout and a lot of them are more a 'falling down the rabbit hole' scenario where the ruined land is somehow isolated and often part of the heroes journey is "you've seen how fucked things can get, now find the source before it can spread".

Its actually the reason i like Demon's more. In Dark Souls the world is fucked and running on fumes. There was a party and you missed it, go clean i up. In Demon's a single king made a deal with demon's and an old god. A deep fog is spreading from his kingdom, robbing men of their minds. They aren't undead they are just insane. You are one of many heroes braving the fog even though none returned to stop its spread.

Huh, I just say that I like hollow knight because while I was playing it I stopped and said

>hm I'm enjoying this game that I'm playing

before continuing to play the game until I finished it "true ending"

I can't play any game that I don't enjoy more then a couple of hours before dropping it

It's VERY rare that I'll actually enjoy a game enough that I don't drop it almost immediately, like hollow knight

To save what little remains and to make way for a new beginning.

At least it seems that way in Demon's Souls, maybe the Dark Ending of Dark Souls, and I would say it is pretty clear that you are saving the bugs that remain in Hollow Knight. I think I remember something about Hornet herself wanting to rebuild the kingdom, but I'm not sure, perhaps I'm misremembering

Well Silksongs trailer shows Hallownest isn't the only kingdom, just the greatest that fell to ruin.

>Playing Hollow Knight will get you nerd cred

You don't get nerd cred for Hollow Knight, it's a niche title and only people who enjoy Metroidvania will know of it. Also, the game is actually good, so take your shit opinion and shove it up your ass.

>inb4 "The game is easy therefore shit"

If you think the game is easy, try and beat the God Master expansion. Pro-tip: You can't, because I know you fuckers who complain the loudest don't actually play video games

Of course they haven't played it. 4 years or more of cross posting faggots using /v/s large userbase as their shitty crossboard war recruitment drives and general word vomit like your average tumblr user but with an ego on top of it "b-because we arent tumblr or reddit!"

If I wasn't sure modern companies would fuck it up I'd want a game about the Malazan book of the fallen, archaeology aspects are great at lending air of age to the setting and lore

>ancient first empire of humans tried controlling shapeshifting magic

>emperor succeeds in splitting himself into 7 creatures at once

>ritual goes haywire, starts turning everyone in the city into lycanthropes and hivemind swarms who start fucking everything up, ritual spreads across empire

>shit gets so out of hand undead neanderthals have to show up and massacre everything

>>16211343

Yeah, the Malazan series is way too complex for the average gamer to ever have a chance of getting into. Even lorefags would get annoyed and quit if it was handled like the books where you're intentionally kept in the dark about so much. Lord of the Rings, as well made as the movies were, was dumbed down for a larger audience - the next steps would be Jordan or Sanderson, which at least give us a buffer, but Malazan can never go mainstream like Game of Thrones did, or else it'll be permanently ruined.

Desert settings of any kind usually do it for me but I will also agree with the dead/rotting civiliazation/city setting as they're always aesthetically interestkng and fun to play.
