Why aren't video games fun anymore?
>>322473372
Anything you love will eventually be killed by mainstream media, Anon.
>>322473372
It's your fault for getting jaded. I fucking love video games cause I don't nitpick at every single flaw in a game.
>>322473495
Even mom and dad and nana?
>>322473372
>all those pissbottles
>still pisses in her panties
fucking retard.
>>322473372
That's fucking disgusting.
I can't enjoy RPGs anymore I just get bored before I exit the first town
They're not less fun. You're just not enjoying them as much as you used to.
>>322473614
I'm pretty fucking casual overall, I like dark souls and most AAA but put me in a game that takes skill like street fighter or unreal and I crumple.
I don't nitpick but I'm still let down by things like MGSV and Arkham Knight
>>322473372
Because the gaming industry only cares about one thing. Money.
You either suffer from depression, or you have browsed /v/ for so long that you willingly or not have accepted that modern/all video games are shit because of a constant stream of shitposting.
Have you tried stop browsing /v/ and go to a site with people who legitmately love video games? We are social creatures, and accept a social hiveminds whatever we want to or not. So make that hivemind an enjoyable one.
Video games are better than they have been in a long time, indie is bigger than ever and has something for everyone, all platforms are getting great games, and if you think new games are shit, well then playing old games have never been easier.
No excuse.
Too many Japanese(-inspired) games. Jap games have always been bad apart from the platformers.
The problem is that the Western industry has become too big and consolidated into a few AAA console-exclusive zombie/faux-stealth games a year, while the indie scene of the early 10s was disappointingly nothing more than a self-promotion stunt for a handful of people who proved not all that interested in video games after they got in the spotlight.

i'm not enjoying them as much I used to because they're less fun
>>322474064
Yes, to you. But not in general. The quality of games hasn't lowered.
'Cause you're a jaded fag who spends too much time on /v/.
>>322474003
Better in the sense customers mostly know what they are getting and they aren't entirely broken pieces of actual shit, but not better mechanically.
>>322473372
I can still have fun with games I used to play many years ago so I guess it's the new games that aren't made fun anymore. Also me getting older all games have lost that something... some kind of magic, that used to make me completely amazed by playing a new game.
>>322474346
You sound like a nostalfag desu
>>322474145
in general, the game designs have all lowered
most of everything is recycled, barely interactive and predictable
there is very little focus on coming up with new concepts and ideas, mechanics and systems, which played a huge part in what made games exciting years earlier
the only thing which has moved forward are visuals elements
>>322473372
how does she get her piss in the bottles if she doesn't have a peepee?
>>322473372
They are, you are just too autistic to give them a fair chance.
>>322473930
Partial answer right here. Long gone are the days of creativity and passion. It's all rehashed garbage now because why bother making anything original when sequels and graphics sell in the millions for your average plebeaian.
The other reason, which ties into the first, is that the market has blown up in the last decade or so, it's no longer niche to play video games. Thanks to casualization everyone, even your grandma, plays games but that also means every game is watered down.
The last reason is likely that you're no longer a youngling, still marveled by worlds and stories he hasn't experienced.
My recommendation: literature and sports.
>>322473372
Because you're a dirty Umr poster.
>>322474876
This anon right here
>>322473842
Try smaller scale games anon, like Galak-Z or Axiom Verge. It took me a while to realize that I much prefer a smaller game that does a few things really well over AAA games that try to do everything mediocre. Even try going back to something as simple as Bomberman games, which I've been having tons of fun with lately.
>>322474614
She's aims.
Unlike you, CASUAL.
Depression.
See psychologist, get meds, enjoy games again.
>>322473372
They are fun, though.
Only jaded PC-only cuckolds think like you
>>322473372
>playing the wrong games
>too depressed to enjoy anything
>got bored of games in general
Pick your poison.
>>322475325
This tbqh familia
9 times out of 10 PC-only cucks are third worlders living in some shithole meme country where consoles cost 4 month's welfare so they can't afford anything other than mommy's 98 Compaq
Stop going to /v/
Hell, stay away from forums/imageboards in general for the most part, or at least don't spend hours and hours lurking and posting.
Also NEET status could be making things worse for you.
>>322474876
Anon literature and sports are all abound with that same problem.
Also unless you were into real early level games...they have almost always been about the money
>>322473807
>an't enjoy RPGs anymore I just get bored before I exit the first town
That's why you play Dragon Age 2, since there's only 1 town.
:^)
>>322475641
your words pierce
I recently only started playing games that I thought looked interesting and not games that I've heard to be good. The amount of games I'm playing is growing smaller and smaller.
>>322473372
Something to do with pic related.
>>322476316
And this.
>>322476316
Normal people play video games too
>>322476398
And one more for good measure.
The important aspect of all this OP is are you just bored of video games, or do you find that everything else in your life bores you and you don't get much joy from anything these days?
If it's the latter then there's a good chance you've got depression. Maybe you'll be lucky and it's just temporary. Maybe you'll be like me and it'll be for the rest of your life, as if you're perceiving everything through a grey muffled fog. You're here but you're not really. You don't live, you just exist - waiting patiently to die.
Because we associate them on a subconscious level with the atrociousness that is modern business practices and recognize a lack of effort, love and care put into them these days. If a game is made with love and care, somehow, some way, it will be tainted.
Video Games are tainted.
>>322473372
Go play Mars Matrix.
these threads are more pathetic than all of wizchan, get a clue you blogshitter circlejerking retards
>>322473372
>feels threads
Fuck off back to /r9k/ you crybaby faggots.
Fun is something that happens in your brain, not everywhere else. Put some effort into being healthy, lay off the drugs if you into that, try to get some friends, talk to doctor if nothing helps. Fun is just chemistry. /v/ bitching about games usually because they don't seem fun to them anymore, and they don't seem fun to them anymore usually because their lives turned to shit after most of the life spent in vidya.
>>322473372
Because you've spent days and days of your life sitting in front of a screen wasting away and your body and brain are screaming at you to do something.
Why don't you stop lieing, liar?
>>322473372
It's more to do with media, in general.
In the modern age, we've become more aware of common tactics used in in mass media.
The entertainment industry is that- an industry. There is no room to have cool new ideas; just sterile, safe tactics to appeal to the lowest common denominator.
We've, more or less, become critics in our preferred media. We're more adhering to flaws and stale practices in video games.
There are also pitiful beings who blame themselves for this. People who think that they're social rejects who wasted their experiences on video games.
Let me tell you, those guys are just guys looking for pity in all the right places. They don't want pity from other people, but from people who have similar experiences. They're more a virus than anything else.
Enjoy what you enjoy, man. Don't let society tell you what you should do.
>play game
>it's no fun
>play game with friend
>it's fun
>it's not the game that's fun, it's interaction with friends
>you have no friends
>you're slowly getting crushed by loneliness
>you play games to look away from that and then wonder why games aren't fun
>>322478131
Who the hell plays jRPGs with their friends?
That's the most boring shit to have someone watch.
>>322478241
Oddly, my buddy asked earlier if I brought my Shield so he could watch me play SMT1.I accidentally nuked my save and didn't want to start over
I wasn't having fun in fallout 4 until I decided that I'd stop nitpicking the flaws of the game. It takes a bit of effort to suspend your disbelief with such terrible NPCs but I'm actually having a blast now.
You need a second hobby to become less jades. I suggest board games.
Too many to pick from.
An overabundance of something is never a positive.
>>322478241
I don't even know where the fuck you got jrpg from. But even in case of jrpgs
>who the hell watches a move with their friends?
>>322478241
I used to do so with a Friend of mine, he did all the grinding and battles and kept track of where he had to go. The guy had the orientation sense of a rock.
>>322473372
I dunno I'm having fun. Maybe it's not that games aren't fun but you are just playing the wrong genre.
I used to love fps games no matter how shitty they were because I just wanted to shoot stuff but now I find them extremely boring and would rather plan an rpg or a 4x game. Only exception is Stalker.
>>322473372
Watch a bunch of anime, after marathoning around 200 series I can finally enjoy vidya again. I'm so far behind on my weekly anime that its disgusting.
>>322473372
>not wearing a diaper
Fucking casuals
>>322474542
Stop playing AAA games.
>>322473372
Work out more and clean up your diet. Work on social and emotional issues
Being in a healthy state of body and mind makes you enjoy things more. Even your favorite pasttimes will feel dull and pointless if you're not feeling okay
Same reason people are killing themselves.
Life just isn't fun. It's only fun when you're a kid or when you're a dumb gorilla who only does what pleases him with no regards for others.
>>322475943
read some real literature, and not fiction shit
I agree with that quoted anon's sentiment. Gaming has become too mainstream, and many niche types of games simply aren't made anymore. You have too many games that try to be a jack of all trades, master of the none, many open world games that simply fail to deliver on many fronts, be it dynamic content, too linearized missions, and more.
You can't even trust companies that build a reputation, like Rocksteady and that Arkham Knight dud.
There are still great games being made, but the amount of digging you have to do nowadays is just tiresome and sometimes feels like it's not worth investing time into.
>>322474614
It takes practice I'm sure, but if you really stick it up there I bet you could catch most of it.
The middle ground developers are too scarce, so you either have focus tested AAA trash or indie game that looks worse than NES shit. There are exceptions, but more middle ground games would be nice, and I think this is going to happen, with big name devs making their own small studios.
Crowdfunding and early access are too much of a double edged sword, EA games should have a special refund system to put more accountability in the mix, consumers should be able to get refunds for early access games until the developer announces a release date, or for a period that is much, much longer than finished games.
Hey anons, here's a very inspirational video on finding meaning in life:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlC2OdnhIiQ
That guy also made a good book, you guys should download it and read it
>>322480021
Have some regards for yourself.
Take a break and try other hobbies, then come back.
>>322480272
For a second, I thought she was fapping to Bear Grylls. Then I saw the bottle. Then I got the joke.
>>322476398
what do
>>322474876
Nice answer but I think it is worth it to just get as many old gold games to back log while you wait out until the gaming market shrinks.
Gaming needs to get a lot worse before it gets better, let it almost die and then come back when the gaming market only allows true passionate developers to succeed.
There will still be good games trickling down the pipe line but you will have to put in work to find them. There are always good games
>>322473372
Because there's no sens of discovery in vidyas anymore, they're too much of the same shit.
I just hope to have some fun on VR, even if it's for the gimmick-side. Then I could stop vidya once and for all.
>>322473372
Blah blah blah the industry
Blah blah blah the sjw
It's actually because you're already depressed to the point of no return
