What happened to all the le weird and quirky games this gen?
>>342775446
MOBAS, FPS, and Cinematic games happened.
The holy trinity of abused shit.
Youre never going to see fun hack and slash games ever againUntil Bayonetta 3 on the NX
>>342775446
Nip devs don't have enough money to make AAA games anymore
>>342775446
If you payed attention you would notice that the number of devs and games per year shrinks each gen.

same reason we don't get movie licensed games anymore
devs like THQ and people who make quirky stuff just can't sell to normies anymore who just buy cod and fifa

damn, i didnt even realize this
As game budgets have bloated due to the obsession with graphics fidelity, game designers are forced to make safer games that are more likely to have a guaranteed return. Thus, we lose out in terms of experimentation and unique titles.
Honestly, if the NX is underpowered it might be a blessing to some devs as it could become a haven for titles with lower budgets.

If Nintendo plays their cards right, they can be a far better haven than Steam for indies as well
They're indie now.

they can't sell anymore because they're closed, THQ no longer exists
There were like zero KID reviews where the reviewer didn't axe a significant chunk of the score because of the omg rapey creepy wow ugh I can't even :( :( :( gifting minigame that was also OPTIONAL at best

this, AAA bloated budgets have gotten to where devs have to go with what sells

Like the Wii U was? Like the Wii was? At best it invites shovelware.
>>342775446
There are still some in Nipland but they know it would fail in the west cause it's not AAA and marketed heavily

The Wii part I agree with
But wasn't one of the reasons why the WiiU didn't have much third party support due to the fact that the dev kit was only in Japanese?

>THQ
;_;
>>342780276
More like how the 3DS is.

>can't sell to normies anymore
>anymore
they never could. the vidyas you are referring to are the ones we miss, that we used to buy and play before normies invaded the hobby
