Describe what you hate most about modern vidya in ten words or less
we keep trying to ape cinema
Everything has an emphasis on multiplayer.
Compromising artistic vision for diversity
everybody focusses on gay multiplayer and adds a crappy uninspired singleplayer campaign in
pc ports suck ass
muh consoles
cant mod modern games as much
Mods and control remapping are still allowed
lazy devs and early access
A lot of vidya is more "interactive experience" than "game."
Everything modern western developers are doing.
piracy screws honest pc gamers
AAA title development and marketing model.
Popular games influence less-popular games too much.

blandness, overused mechanics, movies, games are static / not interactive

Here's an artists impression of an honest pc gamer btw
No one takes risks anymore, not even indies stray too far from the formula that is expected from them, it makes me skeptical towards the new Zelda
DLC
Pre-orders, DLC, microtransactions, and season passes are everywhere.
Insecure devs trying to ape movies
Experience/unlock grind padding
Industry is risk averse for no reason
That could describe almost every consumer facing industry

I understand this is a obvious bait, but even so, how do you even justify saying that control remapping is bad?
Nickel-and-diming us with day 1 DLC
I'm an adult now so they aren't really fun anymore
the graphic downgrades to match consoles

Games trying too hard to be movies. Too much DLC.
>>341577346
too much anti-auteurism.
Too many remakes. Companies are afraid to make some mistakes.
Emphasis on graphics and technical side instead of art style.
lazy developers, dlc,sequel for a sequel, not fun anymore.
Huge budgets for graphics and marketing means playing it safe.
>ITT : people oblivious to the fact that video games studios are companies who need to make money to survive
Devs are too afraid to take risks with new IPs. Everything is a sequel/remake/reboot of an already existing IP because of the amount of money spent on marketing the game compared to actual development for more first week sales.

Games are either pure gameplay or interactive movies, no balance
everybody arguing about video games and not enjoying video games
They're not very RPG. Less sandboxy and character development oriented.
>>341579278
You have probably never played a Japanese game.
Open world is the only genre worth 70$
Players under the age of 21
>>341579229
By that retarded logic you can justify anything that involves money
>>341579391
I can, because it's the reality. Companies don't have some kind of holy purpose to make good games regardless of the expenses.
>>341579363
of course there are some exceptions anon, I was talking about the majority, even jap games have 10 carbon copy RPGs for every original one

Dunno. I don't play vidya that isn't fun for me.

thoughtless multiplayer design and aping movies.
The only good movie-style game is Hotel Dusk giving us a sexier version of Phillip Marlowe.
>>341577346
I'm no long the target audience.
SJW devs want to make "progressive" movies, not games.
single player MMO's ruining the RPG genre with repetitive quests
>Sacrificing fun gameplay for cutscenes, story, and walking sections.
Why the fuck does Far Cry 4 have unskippable cutscenes upon talking to people? I literally couldn't give less of a shit about getting deeper into the story.

>The community, they can't enjoy anything.

As much as I hate SJW fucking this, if Bioware and other shit developers want to pander to SJW they have the right to, just don't buy their games and let them rot in their niche
>>341580035
>just don't buy what you dislike
I think I've bought one game this year. Dominions 4 is all the game I'll ever need. Fuck everyone else, they had their chance.

Generic settings. I'm so sick of seeing the same grassy fantasy land or modern coastal city. No deserts, or glass kingdoms, or seas of emerald fire. Just the same shit we've already seen before. The same could be said for plot premises too.I also want more body diversity. Let me play an insectoid with four arms or some shit, or even a human with janky ruin-tech prosthetics. Five foot nine human male is getting boring as fuck.

It's just that the games that are made to be "hard as fuck" are mostly about trial and error a bajillion times,which by itself is not hard. I wish there were more not-puzzle games which actually made you use your brain.
>>341580606
What we really need is curvy futa protagonists.
Casual mode like what devs did to street fighter 5.
>>341580864

Absence of middle sector.

no one lets you have fun anymore. it hurts.
No sense of accomplishment, you intentionally always feel powerful.
>>341577346
Nothing. Now I have a game for any random craving I have. If I want artistic expression, there are plenty for it. If I want online competition, there's a little something for everybody. If I want a fun platformer, there are hundreds. If I want a good story, there are plenty out there with good stories.
There are more games now then there have ever been.
More than ten words, but I really don't hate anything about modern vidya. Anything I'd dislike is only present in that individual game or subgenre. I'll just move on to another.

Always online.
The amount of viewers indicates if the game is good.
DLCs, SJWs, early access, no challenge, mobiles, empty open worlds.
>>341587249
DLC itself isn't really bad when it's done right, xpansion pack sized DLC is fine, $5 for a useless skin or shit that actively makes the game easier is cancer though.

It's completely acceptable for a company to incorporate lazy, F2P, money-grabbing microtransactions into their big budget game with a full retail price.
>>341588521
At least Blizz devs can count to 10.
>>341588521
Doesn't effect the gameplay
Teams and budgets got bigger, which means each person is less invested in their work and the quality of the game itself.
We used to get these really neat games made by like 10 dudes in their basements, now shit's a mess of outsourced jobs and mismanaged employees.
Indie games are nice, but a lot of them are made by people who just aren't very good at what they do.

Unnecessary additions and gameplay elements with no depth. Also: catering
>>341589280
I don't have any problems with dumb DLC and microtransactions as long as they don't affect me by being pay2win. The Overwatch ones are fine, I ain't gonna buy any. I also don't care about remasters and early access because I'm not a fucking idiot so I just don't buy into them. If that's what the industry needs to do to make money then please do, scam money out of gullible people. Doesn't bother me at all.
>>341577346
The same thing that happened to movies and comic books
>>341577346
Too much of resources used up for graphics, not gameplay
Cheaters.
More money spent on marketing than the game.
Casualization

Triple A games are too scared to deviate from the norm. Because the norm is a safe bet that makes them money
Have you seen the new Ghost Recon? It looks fucking generic and terrible but normies will hoover that shit up.

>>341581138
sauce
Characters and character design are all uninspired human or human-like. Creativity isn't allowed to exist anymore because people feel the need to "connect" to a fucking video game character.
Japanese games are filled to the brim with annoying "check list" female characters of whatever trends are currently happening in Japan.
What the fuck happened to shit like Banjo Kazooie or Chameleon twist or Gex? Why the fuck does literally everything have to be humans?
Pisses me off. Humans are boring, humans aren't cool. In a medium where your imagination is the limit why the fuck would you ever settle on human?

Good developers keep pondering to online feminists and dumb asses that don't even play their games, which leaves the people who actually play it with a husk of what could have been.
>>341577346
No one puts effort into their games anymore
It's like the companies are students and all they do is get 'C's or lower grades for all their work
then they notice that we are not happy about, so they give us "extra credit" called dlc and try to make things better
the fact is all companies are not trying to make a profit and no one gives a shit about bringing back fun to games

What are you on about, someone's churning out Fallout 1 clones every other week. CRPG's are the most pretentious genre of games I've ever played. They're essentially games for people who want to feel superior to "normies" but at the same time they don't want a challenge.
