>Every fucking week there is a new controversy in gaming
I just want to play games and talk to people that actually play games
Kiddies need something to make their hobby feel important.

don't go to /v/ and it sucks but the best way to enjoy playing games is to just god damn play them. It sucks but the internet is just a place for hate and criticising.
>>333905809
I'm playing through Quantum Break, I like the presentation and while it runs kinda crappy when I open doors (loading the level, ugh) I'm enjoying the "episodes" and the overall sci-fi story enough to keep playing. What about you anon?
>>333905809
>talk to people that actually play games
You are in the wrong neighborhood, motherfucker.
>>333907819
Not OP, but I just bought Enter the Gungeon.
It's pretty fun and has a nice difficulty to it. I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone talk about that hype-ass theme music, though.

????
>>333905809
Why are you posting here instead of playing?
>>333908932
I like the theme but somehow it feels so pale when I compare it to the theme of my favorite not-so-rougelike Nuclear Throne
>>333905809
Video games are the work of the devil, turning normal people into blithering idiots online. Please do your part and burn all your video games before they destroy the world.
>>333905809
im currently grinding my life way playing MMOs, what do you want to talk about?
>>333905809
>I just want to play games and talk to people that actually play games
What the fuck are you on /v/, dipshit
>>333909573
I think he's OP.
>>333905809
Neo /v/
all these controversies are usually caused by non-gamers who pretty much just irrationally hate gamers.
>>333909212
No, it sucks that the Internet mostly hates and criticizes instead of talks and appreciates
I really miss the time where people who played video games were actually people who liked video games. Now there's so many people trying to use the medium as lever to gain popularity/relevance, others trying to monetize on it even though they don't give a shit about vidya and retards trying to use this relatively new but popular hobby to push social agenda that it feels like people don't even want to really play games anymore, they just want the controversy surrounding it.
>Try to talk about any given game on /v/
>You're either called a cuck, a shill or people will tell you the game is shit
>People will go out of their way to shitpost instead of actually talking about video games
>Instead of starting a thread about a game they like, they come to that thread and talk shit

Yeah, whatever. Fucking spare me the canned responses you have. God, you people are exhausting.
2007-2011 /v/ was the best
>4chan was always shit
It really, really wasn't. You and I must have browsed in alternate universes.
>>333913392
>You're either called a cuck, a shill or people will tell you the game is shit
Every fucking time, man.
Then make a fucking videogame thread.
>>333905809
What's the point? I've become to mad a d jaded to even care about games anymore.
>>333913392
You've to understand that /v/, and 4chan in general, cares much more about being a special snowflake than it cares about the quality of games, anime, music or whatever. People here will ALWAYS try to be contrarian for the sake of being contrarian because that somehow makes them feel special.
Also, like you said /v/ was better in the past because it wasn't as mainstream. Both video games and 4chan got more popular over the time and because of that this place was overrun by casual scum, normalfags and people who just come for le epic memes.
>>333905809
Well lucky for you the mods here 404 any threads about pedophile supporting polyamorous prostitute ex Nintendo marketers almost instantly.
>>333913839
Why are you here, then?
Why are you browsing and posting on /v/ - Video Games, if gaming has brought you nothing but apathy?
>>333909398
Nuclear Throne isn't nearly as good as Gungeon, NT has so many cheap deaths, and a large number of weapons are pretty boring.
>>333914116
Because he wants the social aspect of it.
>>333914087
>People here will ALWAYS try to be contrarian for the sake of being contrarian because that somehow makes them feel special.
I think this is why I get shit on so much for bringing up valid points about/ever mentioning Watch_Dogs. I genuinely enjoy the game, though
>>333914116
Because everything else pisses me off and I like to come here and get angry. I don't have much else to do but work, eat, shitpost, sleep.
Remember Jack Thompson or that one asian senator that wanted to fuck with games around the same time and got arrested later for shit?
I do. He was funnier. Now its more depressing and feels like I should have a opinion on everything. God I hate this shit.
>>333905809
controversy == money
to bad some idiot think they do good by nurturing it
Someone post that pic about a hobby being ruined over time.
>>333910720
This.
All of these "controversies" are just SJW mouthpieces railing against vidya specifically because we ignore then and don't pander to them.
If everyone in the vidya industry would completely ignore SJWs, they would go away and bother someone else. It looks like their next target might be tabletop gaming anyway.
>>333913392
I-
I almost shitposted at you, anon.
But you're right. This place is a shell of its former self.
>>333905809
Welcome to the culture wars mate. As a burgeoning art scene and a rising force in mainstream culture, gaming is the forefront of a wider cultural conflict. This shit ain't going anywhere, so either pick a side, or just get comfy.

>tabletop gaming
What's wrong with tabletop gaming? And why would they move there when that's an even more niche hobby?
games are cool but there's not a whole lot to say. can be a pretentious douche and analyze it or argue with others over what should be blatant truth
>>333917706
Why is analyzing games pretentious?
What do you even mean by "analysis", exactly?
