When did /v/ start wanting every game in existence to be a failure?
When did we start to be that way? What happened?
Having the privilege to say "HA! I TOLD YOU!" when a hyped up game bombs.
Was it with TORTANIC? Why did one single game spur this change?

But why? Isn't it better to celebrate, as a gaming community?

Are you new or something? It's not 2004 anymore.
>>344760202
I just want to know what changed.

The DmC fiasco also happened immediately afterwards, so the trend of schaudenfreud probably stuck by then.
>>344760586
Oh, yes. So it merely reflects the state of the industry. Interesting
I gave up hope of new games being good long ago

Anon I'm sorry
Because of easy replies.
Go into a thread and say "these games are shit" and people will notice you.
A lot of people on this board are very lonely and addicted to the quick and easy attention from negative posts. It's instant gratification that just doesn't happen the same way with positive posts.
Also, it doesn't help that AAA games are overhyped, overrated trash these days, so it makes the cynics even more bitter than they already are.

Nice loot senpai
I think when Borderlands viral went fucking nuts on /v/, the opposition wanted the games to fail. We've long reached a point that we should stop, but we kept going to see what happens.
What happens is, if a game doesn't completely soar with success, it is declared dead. It may have enough of a playerbase to jump on at any point, click find game, and find a game in seconds - but the memes are set in stone. So then you have all these pointless discussions, on the game's forums or ign or whatever, about how to "revive" the game. But it's too late, because the meme is already a meme. Dead games with dead fucking threads.

When the industry decided the only 2 flavor of videogames are overhyped AAA sandbox game and indie trash made by a snotty san francisco dev

People don't go on the internet for fun anymore, they go on because they have to and they hate it. The internet hasn't been fun in 10 years
I don't know about /v but I've come to despise the industry so much every tale of failure is a good tale.
Bottom lines crashing, companies dying? Good news. Never enough.

GTAV, Dishonored and Shadow Warrior are the shit, fun as fuck
MM9 on the other hand, I hope it didn't cost you too muchI backed the kickstarter :<

This, it always makes me happy when I see a game bombing and companies going under. Just let it all burn into the ground, and perhaps something good will grow out of the ashes some day.
>>344764963
As much as I want all game companies to die it's not gonna happen at least in the next ten years. Maybe when all the normalfags buying ubisoft and bethesta trash grow out of the vidya maybe, just maybe there will be some hope, but right now, no.

10 years to the day in fact.

C'mon /v/.
My favourite series and genres got raped and/or died, so I want everyone else to go through the same because fuck video games

There's something about a lot of new games that just makes them devoid of passion for me so I stay away from them for the most part.
I don't care if they succeed or fail, which is probably worse than wanting it to fail since actively supporting a games destiny one way or another means you're at least a little invested in it.
