Been out of gaming for years. I got a free ps4 and then remembered how much I liked the star wars battlefront games. They were like battlefield but star wars. I played hundreds of hours of instant action on my ps2 as a kid. I did some looking to see if there was a p4 bottle front and there was so I bought it. I now understand the EA hate. I want them to burn. All they had to do was remake the game but in modern ps4 graphics. They made a call of dookie star wars instead with loot boxes. How could they fuck this up this badly?

DLC killed gaming. Sometime in the beginning of the DLC-era companies decided to focus on making money AFTER the games were released rather than making all of your money from a strong release.They saw they made a shit load of money from releasing map packs and other bonus content, and then jewwy companies like EA saw that and thought "Let's take this a step further"

Depends on the game. Now we are flooded with indie games with only 1 or 2 devs on a project they love who get purchased by steam for almost nothing before release in case it become the next hyped shit by hipsters or the next minecraft (unlikely).
Most games on the platform costed way less than 100k to develop, and with the reach Steam have in term of customers, it's literally impossible to not make money.

Now the AAA globohomo trash? They are costing a shit tonne to develop, but it's mostly because they hire a gazillion useless HR trannies and diversity counsellors to get dem sweet Blackrock ESG bux. Those are the ones bleeding money usually. Which is a good thing obviously.

To put it into perspective, the vydia market is now worth twice the MC of movies + music industries. It's insane how fast it grew the past 20 years.

Gaming is simultaneously a huge industry and also a cheap hobby
The entry cost is kinda high comparatively to other entertainment industries but the time/cost is phenomenal. A good game you can put 3000 hours into for anywhere between $10 and $60, not including the pc/console cost, which is what I consider the entry cost.

$0 if you are pc and can emulate/pirate.

I'd like to imagine that normalfags are waking up to the fact that you don't need to buy every single AAA title that comes out, but I know that's just blind optimism.
These articles are probably written from the perspective of EA and their annual sports/CoD rehashes as their sales slowly fail to maintain their momentum.

As much as I wanted Doom Eternal the cost, the true cost being base game plus all the non cosmetic dlc, is ridiculous! Plus I don't like having to make an account on some other website.

It's not that hard, if they could keep this gameplay and just release a new game with better graphics and new maps every two years, people will buy it.

Instead they fill the games with unskippable cut scenes, it is a nonsense, everything dies.

My brother is trying to make a studio. He's been in the business for 15 years and is hoping the game hes making now with just one other person is successful enough to make a real team. It's not easy to get into unless you don't mind being a mindless code monkey. If you want enjoyment out of your work you have to start your own company, and unless you're doing everything yourself, it's expensive to do when you have to pay everyone. Making games is not a part time thing it's your job so if you only make 100k with a 2 or 3 man team in a year it would just ammount to a normal wagie salary.

I'm a former sponsored player for a very popular competitive game, and then later became a semi successful youtuber for a different genre then what I played competitively. I've worked with several AAA studios for marketing videos, design advice, and different assorted things. AAA gaming is so fucking fucked you guys have no idea. Getting anything done in a AAA studio is a fucking nightmare. Every single thing has to be sent to 8 different departments, start a 30 person email chain, and 20 different people have to clear it. It's so fucking convoluted and inefficient I'm honestly surprised any game gets released at all. Marketing people are literally all evil snakes and the fucking web of people and bullshit that any decision has to go through basically guarantees that nothing groundbreaking can ever get done. It's so fucking bloated I don't even think it should exist. Every single company is about two failures away from bankruptcy

Dead Cells maybe? PUBG might qualify (some memorable stuff with chicken dinner and the pan, also trailblazing a whole genre). The problem with the recent tide of multiplayer-only titles is they have no staying power. You can't boot it up 10 years down the road and recapture your experience. Fortnite and Fall Guys were/are massive mainstream phenomena, they're just not really memorable, they have no iconic moments. Built too much on the collective experience in the moment and kept alive by constant patches so you never really get a stable state you might develop nostalgia for.

Skyrim... I've never even played it. What makes it such a classic? All I know are the stupid memes about arrows to the knee and shouting at dragons. I like Morrowind and Oblivion. Skyrim just seems like the logical next step, not really a revolution that constitutes an instant "classic".
Is it really just the meme factor that makes a classic? Is Dark Souls a classic because of praise the sun and onion bro? Elden Ring seems like a good game and people seem to play it for forever, but it's not really "iconic" I guess. Nothing stands out.

I'm not sure this is a bad thing though. Games should be good and enjoyable, not meme-laden. If people enjoy the experience and are happy with their purchases and time spent, it doesn't have to be a "classic".

It boggles my mind how that broken garbage (talking about "AAA" stuff here) our developers are trying to fix can have any sales. The only thing good about new games is graphics - they look pretty. But they are soulless, broken shit only a retard would pay for. It seems like everyone with a hole in his ass has a game studio now with tens of millions of dollars in budget.

There's been hardly any AAA titles released since the memeflu started. Eerything was postponed or delayed, some even cancelled, also they were rehashing hard before that too.

Most games are propaganda anyway, the average NPC has no idea though, even those who call themselves "redpilled". Anything with outer space, aliens, galaxies, and all that globohomo garbage is propaganda.

Cuphead is the first game I've bought in years and the Delicious Last Course is the only DLC I've ever purchased.
I appreciate anybody that's trying to do real nigga animation in the West.

>bleeding money
They have infinite money and don't mind. That's how propaganda always worked, but the average NPC believes it has to be profitable for globohomo, or that they lose money and it hurts them somehow. It doesn't.

Follow the money only works for goyim and kikes, the real overlords are not driven by money. But the average NPC will have you believe otherwise.

3d graphics and online gaming became the industry emphasis around the same time. It sucked the labor out of making games fun. The industry never fully recovered.

You're better off going wagie and using your coding skills for a much higher per hour pay.
The only pros of developing vidya are the residual income and the chance of hitting it big. Other than that, too much effort for very little reward.

It just feels like playing with toys now. Eventually you grow up.

Doesn't mean you can't occasionally drag out the old Legos for a spell. You can take a few turns in Unreal or play a few matches of AoE2. But ultimately, you know you have better things to do in this life. Consuming isn't enough anymore.

He’s right though Stardew Valley has its place as a game people will play for decades, much like Skyrim
Very few games compare
I’d say maybe CK3 as well but it needs a more developed mod community and there’s some thing that are downgrades from CK2

Gaming quality is at an all time low. You have two sectors of games from a players point of view:
1. Triple AAA blockbuster games
As described in >>50440287 >>50440573 these games have become too big to fail, everything has to be curated and examined to squeeze as much money as possible because the costs to provide the 'high-quality' tier entertainment are simply too much. Everything is focused on this to the detriment of any potential creativity.
2. Indie games
Startup studios doomed to mediocrity because they can either take a gamble and try to make a creative independent game or play it safe to be able to survive to make another game for another day by iterating on whatever is popular.
>Its slay the spire but I added this mechanic
>Its stardew valley but 3d and this has changed
>Its another roguelike
>Its factorio but first person
>Here I made this game to remind you of the 90's/make you feel superior by playing a game that you were too young to 'get'
I honestly don't fault them either. They need to survive and lowest common denominator indie trash is the way to go see>>50440002

There's nothing to be done about it and you or I certainly can't/won't do anything to fix it. It's not like we pay for these games anyway we probably pirate it all because they're so trash in the first place.
The gaming community don't know what's good for them and they're not going to vote with their wallets fast enough for the games industry to pivot and develop games under a new set of benchmarks.
What probably needs to happen is a gigantic crash in the games industry so that all these studios are forced to work in a new paradigm where 'good' games aren't just determined by great graphics or piggybacking on viral games/games mechanics.
The indie industry would get fucked by it but honestly it needs to. I empathize with aspiring developers trying to make their way but I cannot stand having another game shoved in my face that is just an iteration of an iteration.
