What games do kids and teens like these days?
>>319801520
Minecraft, phoneshit, undertale, other indieshit.
Basically PC and phone gaming
Well I have have two brothers who are 9 and 16.
The 9 year old plays Diablo 3, L4D and Portal 2 while the 16 year old plays Fallout 1, TF2 and I think something else.
Cory in the House on the Nintendo DS
>>319801520
This picture hurts to look at. No one could possibly think it's more effective to use touchscreen when a physical interface is right below.
My little brother plays Mount and Blade, a lot of different strategy games, Monster Hunter, Fallout and Minecraft. He and his friends are always Skyping and playing things together. I don't think kids hang out in person anymore.
>>319802574
>"I'm better at typing on touch screens"
Minecraft. Undertale. Call of Duty.
>>319802574
kids who've never taken a typing class and have used a touchscreen smartphone their whole life.
>>319802574
You're looking at millennial tablet acclimatization.
They're going to have a hard time finding work in the tech sector.
>>319802441
Why are they living in 2010?
>>319802574
He's being mindful of the other people but not using the keyboard and making loud clacking sounds
>>319803117
>rubber dome chiclet keys
>loud typing noises
>>319802942
>They're going to have a hard time finding work in the tech sector.
Nah, this is an "old" way of thinking. They will just find a way to make regular keyboards obsolete in favor of touch interfaces.
Just like they did with regular telephones.
My little brother is currently playing Sid Mier's Pirates
>>319803453
Beat that faggot's ass for having shit taste
>>319801520
>>319803563
Only one with shit taste here is you
>>319803423
Tablet typing is objectively slower than keyboard typing. Even if you include tech such as swype and auto-complete, a keyboardist is simply going to perform faster and more accurately overall compared to typing on a screen input. Physical keyboards and mice will NEVER go away because they are just simply the best way to interface with a computer.
>>319803563
Fuck off, Sid Mier's Pirates was a fun game.
My cousin in third or fourth grade just plays Roblox and watches shitty GTAV videos and songs on YouTube.
>Outlast is fhe scariest game ever, everyone on YouTube says so.
>CAN I PLAY SEEELDA ON YOUR GAY-CUBE?! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE *furiously mashed sticks*
>I bet that game is as bad as it looks like, shitty fucking graphics.
>GTAV is the best game ever, I love watching YouTube videos of it.
>NUH-UHHH, computer and laptop aren't the same because computers don't overheat!
>dad is getting youngest brother, who is 12, an Xbone for Christmas
>get a little excited at the news and go out to buy Rare Replay as his gift from me
>realization that he wont enjoy the game sets in over the next few days
>dad is getting him Minecraft, BO3, and F4, per his request
Should I just return it and get him a headset? He did mention he wanted one in passing.
>>319803898
Sounds like he has terminal autism. You should put him out of his misery
>>319804130
No.
You're going to give it to him and force him to enjoy the best Rare did.
That way you can get rid of his shit taste.
>>319803748
Easy there grandpa
>>319804351
Nice rebuttal retard.
>>319801520
Minecraft and lol
>>319804439
Good reply asshat
>>319804131
There's no dennying there's something wrong with him.
He doesn't seem to be able to quit making loud fucking noises whenever his hands are on his laptop or he's holding his phone, he doesn't even react to anything then.
>>319801520
Temple Run, Minecraft, Counter Strike.
Just the usual.
>>319802441do you touch them?
>>319804728
solid retort senpai
>>319802441
Your 16 year old bro is a loser
>>319801520
>What games do kids and teens like these days?
Literally every game that comes out that is not a niche game.
>>319802574
That's a bus, anon. Buses are packed tight, if he tried to use the keyboard his elbows would be in the seat next to him.
I wish they'd play with my cock :c
>>319803423
So much of the complexity of technology has been obfuscated by clever design that they take it for granted, and they'll be at a major disadvantage if they can't interface with it at a lower level when more control is necessary.
Consider modern electronic music.
Kids think they can just buy a DAW and some plug-ins (or a Mac with GarageBand) and start making "chart-topping hitz" without understanding digital signal processing or having any familiarity with a real musical instrument.
There's a massive market built around these doomed, ignorant electronic composers, despite them using the same tools as industry veterans.They never break out and git gud because they don't know how any of those tools work or even why any of them exist.
Soon, it'll be like that everywhere.
14 year old little brother likes fightan games, think he mostly plays USFIV and Smash. Loved Dark Souls, too. Getting him a PS4 w/ Bloodborne for Christmas.
>>319803748
Missed the point there dude. It's not that the keyboard and mouse are better (they are) it's what people are used to.
The metric system is the best, but the U.S. still hasn't adapted to it. Same shit will happen.
>>319801520
Anything /v/ and /r/pcmasterrace like, since those demographics have intense overlap and a similar average age bracket (12-16).
my sister is 16.
undertale, isaac, animal crossing and some other steam games with her friends, i don't even fucking know.
>>319801520
dota and lol
>>319805290
sounds like a fucking faggot why would you spend so much money on him
>>319801520
They actually like watching people play games more then play them themselves
I have a little brother and his friends literally come over so they can WATCH people play mindcraft on youtube together. Video games are doomed.
>>319805290
Rare god tier taste, anon. Superior genetics
>>319805482
Funnily enough he is a faggot.
I'm spending the money on him because no one else will.
>>319805508
I cant believe this shit
>>319805332
The US uses imperial units because they're everywhere in crufty old laws no one wants to revise.
This isn't exclusive to the states, FYI. Some parts of Europe use imperial units as well, and likely for the same reasons.
>people under 18
>playing video games
LOL
it's an entire generation raised on youtube. they live in a single child home in suburbia and haven't been socialized properly. all they have is watching let's plays and streamers on the internet to get that "big brother simulator" or "friend simulator" feeling.
>>319805704
>Some parts
You mean literally only the UK?
>>319805704
I didn't ask why, grandpa
>>319805767
>only have one daughter
>haul her ass to some kind of playgroup with other kids at least thrice a week
I don't want a second kid but i'm not letting this one turn into some reclusive foul bachelorette frog
>>319805614
>>319805508
>have friends over to watch a show
>get to do the same things the show host does (because he's playing a video game)
Sounds like a fun time for kids desu senpai

I KNOW RIGHT lol, these games freakin suck fuckin millenials will never understand what it means to play REAL games REEEEEEEEEE
fuck hahahah
>>319804958
>Niche game
Does not exist
>>319801520
My 5 year old nephew loves Lego games on the PC. Ratchet and Clank on the PS4.
Rayman Legends and Origins and Soinc games in general.
He hates minecraft because thats all his older friends talk about and I guess he doesn't get it yet because he can't read.
>>319802574
Do kids these days get taught the homerow typing style in their computer classes? Can any dads confirm?
>>319806063
Isometric is pretty niche nowadays.
>>319805821
>implying the UK isn't multiple territories united together
It's in the name senpai
>>319806126
>memerow
I can type at over 100WPM using only my first 2 fingers and the occasional 3rd finger + thumb.
>>319806126
People get taught a typing style?
Just use a fucking keyboard and you'll get faster
>>319805995
>I don't want a second kid
unless you are okay with your country becomming a mexican/nigger/arab shithole, you should have at least 2-3 kids
>>319806063
I wasnt shitting on them but if you doubt that they like those games youre pretty in tge dark man
>>319805890
You didn't ask anything, but your fuckingnormal, not stupidcomment warranted correction.
Being born in 1989 I have a huge problem seeing the world as kids do now.
NES and SNES and such graphics are very normal to me and most of the games I played back then are still fun today.
But when you grow up with Call of Duty, Minecraft and such.
How do you introduce these young children to Age of Empires or Red Alert or Civilization.
I mean I played Red Alert when I was 6 year old I had no idea I was playing it. I watched a boy circa 15 at 6 years old play Warcraft and Dune 2. I was mesmerized by it, watching it for hours.
When I did get Age of Empires in 1998 and Red Alert I remember spending my first summer holidays off school in a undershirts sweating my balls off playing tons of Red Alert 1 and Age of Empires 1.
I remember re reading the Tiberian Sun Preview for 50 times in a PC magazine. Getting hyped like crazy.
>>319806583
And your parents were hyped to watch television, and their parents were hyped to listen to radio shows.
The next generation will be hyped to jack into new, more immersive VR worlds.
Your tastes are a product of the technology of your childhood. What's your point?
>>319806583
1989fag here as well, only games I could watch others play were old ps1 resident evil games, only because I was "too young" to play those kinds of games and my big bro would let me stay up n watch him play through it
Scary shit, but it's one of my best memories
>>319806384
Yes we were all taught this style
>>319807184
>tfw chicken pecker and faster than almost everybody I know
The only person that trumps me is this one asian dude I know and he's types at inhuman speeds
>>319802574
>>319805508
>laptop keyboards can't stop functioning.
I have 3 little cousins, aged 13, 11, and 6.
The 13 and 11 year olds constantly play minecraft or smash bros on 3ds while having goofy weird youtube videos about it playing on an ipad nearby.
The 6 year old is the only one branching out looking around for games. He wants to play anything and everything, and it's great. I enjoy my time with him. Last time I was over he had started Okami and Viewtiful Joe on the wii. I was a little proud. He then switched over to the 360 and showed me the combos he had learned on the newer SSX game. I was a little surprised he had gotten that good so quickly. I have hope for kids like him. I'm doing my best to supply him with good games now.
The other 2 are a lost cause. I actually forgot to mention the 13 year old now draws sonic fanart as well, and plays sonic on smash bros all the time.
Minecraft.
I take a little pride in having been there for the alpha, crafting the world and laying the foundation for the stories that are now passed around as legends in schools all over the world.
>>319801520
Undertale
>>319806583
>How do you introduce these young children to Age of Empires
Just... try to make them play ?
Kids like anything
>>319807184
The home-row typing style is designed to allow copyists to input what they see almost as fast as they read it.
It's really not necessary for people transcribing dictated material or content via stream of consciousness.
>>319807350
Bet you love chicken peckers, faggot
>>319807726
kid like what their friends like
which is what is cool and hip at the time
Assassin Creed, my cousin is obsessed with it, but he suck at it.
Put Ark Survivor on the list
>>319803748
>Mice
Now you make me sad because trackballs have practically ceased to exist.
WHO CARES!? Video games are not for children no more than movies or books, do you really have to ask yourself what movies kids go to see?
My cousins of both genders, all below 10, only play Minecraft, watch people play Minecraft, and look up FNAF stuff.
>>319806063
most of the people you replied to didnt even say they suck or anything
>>319807880
No, it was taught purely for memorizing keys and It definitely worked, at least for me
>>319807978
suck my cock dude
no homo tho
My 14 year old brother plays Sims 4 every day, sometimes we play together things like Rock of Ages, Mario Kart or Smash
>>319806583
OpenRA has a small competitive community, which is pretty neat.
My 8 year old cousin likes to watch Minecraft videos and plays Minecraft on her ipad. She's shown interest in other games since she likes to watch her dad play Fallout 4 but so far she just plays mobile games, it's kind of disappointing how spoiled she is.
>>319801520
>Using on-screen keyboard instead of actual keyboard
>Chicken-pecking the on-screen keyboard
I am seriously worried about the "ipad generation".
>watch people play Minecraft
I fucking hate that, 20yo youtubers doing retard shit and they fucking love like the best thing of the world
Soon typing on a keyboard is going to be as dead as writing in cursive
>>319806063
go watch some video games on youtube little timmy.
>>319808804
I'm starting to understand the appeal.
It's just like the Internet - A nigh infinite world of mindblowing shit to explore.
>>319808435
>games are not for children
k
>>319801520
This reminds me I need to keep practicing my touch typing. I should have taken the typing class back in highschool.
>>319809082
but people don't watch videos of other people on the interneti just realized that's exactly what v does with that one channel with the jew h3h or hl3 or something
>>319809379
See? Minecraft is like Dreams or Second Life if they didn't suck ginormous balls.
It's not for playing, it's for creating and showing to other people. Like Newgrounds.
>>319801520
One of my cousins is 12 or 13 and he plays Nintendo and Sonic games. I asked him about Five Nights at Freddy's and all he said was 'that is all the 5th graders talk about'.
>>319801520
this picture actually triggers me
touch screen keyboards are cancer
>>319805183
I can't tell if you're making a larger statement about electronic music or not.
But I downloaded Ableton Live so that I could start learning and applying music theory. And I have no idea how I want to start going about learning composing though.
>>319810124
Wish I could learn how to use them, it would be a lot smoother to carry around. It's not like you need feedback for playing shit like DCSS either.
>>319808223
I loved those. While waiting to load a game I could practice juggling and shit with the tracking ball.
>>319801520
Minecraft.
I don't understand and its weird and foreign to me. But my kids and nephews love it.
>>319806126
mother here, I can confirm they don't. but thats because I homeschool my son.
>>319810656
>mother here
>>319801520
Imouto is usually on her tablet until I give her the 3DS. Then she just plays OoT3D and tries to exploit some glitches.
>>319806963
My point is I'm hyped today for new stuff.
But I also want to show the kids how it was back then and that it can indeed be fun.
I'd rather play Mario 3 or World over the new mario any day.
>>319807726
Well no thats the problem. On this boys computer I installed like 6 LEGO games and Rayman and Minecraft and 40 more games. And basically he never touched a single RTS.
>>319807880
DON'T YOU FUCK WITH HOME ROW ALRIGHT.
MY MOM MADE ME FUCKING DO MAVIS BEACON ONCE A DAY FOR 2 HOURS EVERY DAY.
I STARTED DREAMING IN TYPING SEQUENCES.
MY DREAMS WOULD ACTUALLY APPEAR AS THE WORDS ON THE SCREEN FOR ME TO TYPE OUT.
FUCK YOU.
kids don't really get taught typing at all. they dropped it along with computer skills, because generally the kids can run rings round the teacher.
>>319811519
why do you even have to learn typing ?
I never really typed much but within like half a year of internet I got pretty familiar with the keyboard.
>>319808942
>Cursive
I'm like the only one out of my group of friends who writes in cursive. how is it though?
>>319810656
>>319807978
>>319808684Mister richard smoker, you're a chicken choker.
>>319804130
I enjoyed collections of old games when they were a common thing on PS2 when I was that age. I'm sure he'd check it out at some point after he's done with the games he's excited with.
