Out of the entire cesspool of games, there's like maybe 2-3 that are worth buying now because the developers have shown they're constantly updating the game and doing good progress.
Does EA just make people lazy or is it that now that they've got the money, they can do fuckall?

I was just about to post this.
It seems like every new game on Steam fits this exact description.
Is it all because of Minecraft and DayZ?

Another Fire Emblem character got into Smash instead of some lower-profile character from the mid 90's

This. Never before have I seen so many lazy character designs, samefaces, and reliance on generic archetypes in an artstyle. No clue why people idolize it other than they fall for the cuteness of it.

Yeah, everything that people could possibly like is just a trap, because I dislike it.
Game that labels itself as roguelike is a red flag.
Game that actually has more than 3 roguelike mechanics can't really be typical "indieshit" shovelware cashgrab. Roguelikes don't sell.

Dev: Ah yes we are working on the reboot, it will be grittier, darker and more mature.
>>322148638
>female protagonist
Seems like such a silly thing until you realize the gender of your protagonist is only relevant in porn.
to make it a selling point is full retard.
It's about time that "Roguelike" and "Metroidvania" get officially stamped as outdated terms and thrown out for something new. We need to form a committee meeting, let's get some suits and papers in on this.
Yeah we get it, Rogue and Metroid brought the game style to the table for the world to see, but the shit's been done and done better over decades, they don't deserve that kind of blunt credit any more. When's the last fucking time anyone has called the latest FPS game a "Doom-like"?

Or for a more modern example, a sandbox crime game a "GTA clone"

>suddenly
/v/ hates all games. No fun allowed.
>>322149983
whens the last time we got an fps that was good enough to be called doom like?
Nothing.
There's nothing in a game that immediately convinces me to stay away from it.
I do my research and watch gameplay of it and then see if it's something I'd like, and judge based on that.
I do this because I'm not a pathetic faggot who lets simple aspects in a game determine whether I should buy it or not.

Roguelikes are LGBTBRGGLPHC:
Layered-grid-based, turn-based, randomly generated games with leveling, permadeath and hunger clock

STALKER is not post apocalyptic, everything in the zone is just hostile.
