Stop believing everything /v/ shits out like a fucking tool and actually play the games yourself you dumb faggot.

>>319254450

Convince me why you're not a tremendous faggot.

No. Good, not great year. I had lots to enjoy. Maybe you are just too jaded to be entertained at all, anon.
Also--1982 is the worst year for vidya.

battlefront happened...
so, in short.. this is probably not the best.
we're moving back further and further. the greed is becoming more and more obvious. capitalism is having this industry 100% in his hold and for those who think, it's painfully obvious. there is no risk anymore.
you're hoping for a game like a medievil remake? HAH!! good one. look at ffvii remake.
the fun is dead, risk is zero, everything is target-group calculated.

I haven't played any of those games other than MGSV and I stayed away from /v/ for a month before the game came out and only returned after I finished it.
Game is perfectly and nothing else on that list interests me.
>>319253262
With inflation, $49.99 in 1997 is the equivalent of $74.08 in 2015. If a good, COMPLETE game in 2015 cost $59.99, I'd say it's a good deal.
What bothers me the most right now is full retail games which have microtransactions in them like they're a free to play Korean grindfest MMO from 2005. Right down to time limited exp boosts and power boosts.
>>319254450
That list really makes me cringe, fuck...the least shitty is mgs5, and even then it's still a huge disappointment.
I want to cover myself in comfy retrogaming until someone will pat me on the shoulder and say "gaming is back, Anon, games are back" and cry like a baby from the happiness.
>>319253262
I have never played a game that was priced like that. Has anything like this, outside of explicitly episodic releases, ever happened?
>>319253450
It gets worse every year.
>>319253262
We got Game of the Year Every Year Super Mario Maker, so it can't be that bad.
>>319255665
FF7 launch was $34.99. How much is that with inflation?
>>319255578
Deals like that rarely if ever happen within the first year of a game's release, and if it does that game fucking bombed hard and probably isn't worth paying for in the first place.
>>319253450
That just means every year is equally as bad, or worse than the one before it.

This is a joke, right?
2015 has been a fantastic year for games. It's up there with '98. Hell if we include trailers and announcements I'd say it has been the best year.
In 1996 you saw the preview trailer for the Mona Lisa and in 1997, when you get the game, it's better than expected. In 2016, you'll see the preview of that Jesus painting that flaked a bit, and get the botched restoration job cut up into 4 neatly divided DLC chunks sold to you with a Season Pass.

You faggots just don't get it. Video games are MUCH LARGER productions now. They're not the tiny little goofy games from ages past. Developers need to charge more but you wont let them. This is why the industry is moving towards mobile games.

Try again faggot.
>>319257160
I really wouldn't hate Early Access so much if they didn't cost as much as actual fucking games.
If anything Early Access should be forced to be sold for like, 33% of the final retail price or less or something.
And then when the game is actually finished, I guess you could have the people who bought the early access version, purchase the final update for the rest of the 66% or something if they want to upgrade.
But the idea that early access bullshit is so readily sold at full price is fucking disgusting.
>>319257725
>You faggots just don't get it. Video games are MUCH LARGER productions now. They're not the tiny little goofy games from ages past. Developers need to charge more but you wont let them. This is why the industry is moving towards mobile games.
I didn't ask them to make more expensive and shorter games. If they made PS2 era games I wouldn't give a shit. I just want fun. Paying $100+ for a game that is 6 hours long with no replay value isn't fun.
>>319257725
http://vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/Video_game_costs
This says the average cost, at least for consoles, was roughly $8 million in 2012. Where the fuck are you getting your numbers?
To make this truly appropriate of this year in gaming, you'd have the left side be Mona Lisa and the right side be a whole art museum, except only with the Mona Lisa, and some rooms with other pieces of art locked off behind ropes.
Fuck the open world era.

Uh..what? There are successful franchises RIGHT NOW on modern systems that sell under 200,000 copies and make a profit. Games don't have to cost a minimum of a Hollywood movie you dumbshit.

games were expensive 20 years ago
>>319258114
I know you love to call the people you disagree with you outsiders, but the problem with /v/ is you. Every posting style that /v/ has developed memetically is unfunny and obnoxious. You can find better discussion in youtube comments, and most of /v/ is meme wars and fawning over AAA's worst. You assume your board is a paradise and redirect anybody who doesn't fit in to /r9k/. You belong to both the dumbest and most pretentious board on this site. You are misguided. You think you are protecting something valuable when you are only fitting in to delusional groupthink. The project of your life is a vapid wasteland, a glitzy casino made of recycled water bottles, a treasured nothing. You will believe you've won an argument when I stop responding. You are an idiot and belong in the prison you built out of strangers.
>>319253262
Bloodborne came out.
That must count for something.
>>319258041
His point is that they don't have to be $100 million productions, you dense fuck. Not everything needs to be a AAA title- a concept that idiots like Konami can't seem to grasp.
>>319257331

>>319258117
Sure...also, A and AA games. Even just talking about AAA, there's no exact numbers, the closest I could find was Shuhei Yoshida saying "top" PS4 game budgets would be slightly larger than $20-50 million average for "top" PS3 games.

90% of that is marketing costs, "production" costs (because Joe Bumbfuck in management needs a new yacht) and voice acting budget (who the fuck needs Hollywood actors seriously). AAA producers treat the actual developers like sweatshop workers so the increased costs sure as fuck aren't going into the actual game development.
3D graphics killed video games

No shit. Meaning buying a game was more expensive then.
>>319258174
Except I never said anything about budget, only that his "$100" remark was kind stupid since games then would cost even more than that.

Nah, that one was pretty spot on.
The only thing Fallout 4 did better than the previous games was it made power armor feel like power armor rather than just another suit of armor. Other than that it did everything worse and is probably the worst mainline entry in the franchise.

You people will bash COD for releasing sequels with minor changes and a paint job but you praise these titles for it. How can I enjoy something I've basically already played.
There's so much video games can do and it just makes me sad seeing these half assed sequels succeeding. I remember when the jump from original to sequel meant a huge improvement in everything.
>>319258509
It kills me that there are depressed, contrarian faggots that actually act and think like this. That, or just "muh irony" gone mad.

People were saying this shit was GOTY material before it even came out.
>>319259468
He only gave facts though
>>319253262
Well considering 49.99 in 1997 bucks was 1. Less than the biggest titles sold for and 2. $74 USD in today money, you're part of the problem.
If Ocarina of Time came out today it would cost over 80 dollars and you'd all bitch about it and it wouldn't sell. The market has become shit.

I don't know what the fuck happened to make that glitch occur, but I can almost guarantee that it involves the fact that the game had to change her body type to get her to even fit into the power armor.
I have my companions wear power armor all the time and they don't fuck off into the distance like some horror film monstrosity.
Hell, that glitch isfunny.

If we're actually talking about the $500 million, it's for the whole "franchise" dumbass.
>>319253262
I hate that pic.
Games, even when excluding marketing, cost a lot more to make now. However, gamers don't want to pay more than $60 for the base game hence why devs add in other things to make more money.
Gamers still get the base game for $60 and the option to buy or not buy the other content and devs get rewarded for their labor.
It's literally a win win situation.

why do you faggots even complain any more? assuming you aren't just being edgemasters, what do you hope to accomplish? the vast majority of NOT ONLY the gaming populace but ALSO /v/ itself enjoy the games listed, and there is absolutely zero incentive for ANY game developer to pander to a crowd so ridiculously nitpicky as yourself. you are unmarketable to, yet you still critique things. why? you cannot possibly think that gaming will make some abrupt turnaround in your favor, despite the obviously more lucrative choice being not to. why even play new videogames anymore? you obviously can only enjoy older games, and im assuming a lot to even say that.
