Prove me wrong.
>>
It's all starting to blend together isn't it?


Good.

I want the bubble to burst.

I want to see the death of Twitch. Of plebs thinking Dark Souls "is so fun and hard lol!". Of getting yearly releases of every game that plays like the last one.

I want my gaming community back.

The death of games means that not only plebs will leave, but so will scalpers.

I want the retro game market to crash and fucking burn to the ground. Fucking Boogerman and Earthworm Jim are $30 a piece right now for no good reason.

I want games to die so I can care again.

No, I don't care that gaming is popular. I care because what's it's become to maintain it's popularity. So it's time to let it die.

Not gonna happen. Consumers as a whole are a lot dumber than they used to, and even if the industry goes full Jew their response will be "well, better save up more then". And they don't even notice quality, let alone discriminate based on it. They just want games, and don't care about how much they need to pay as long as it isn't something completely ridiculous like $100 for a single game. Barring a massive economic collapse where vidya would become a luxury nobody but the richest people could afford, this is the way the industry will remain.

Hell, even we keep buying from them no matter how many times we say we're swearing them off THIS time, for real. Apparently all the buyer's remorse we express on /v/ doesn't have any real effect on our buying habits. And we're the ones who should ostensibly know better.

Scalper gunna scalp. They're scum, but they're not the ones who changed the market.

I'm sure we can all agree that it's the least impactful generation so far.
Wii U is JUST-tier
Xbone might probably be the last microsoft console hardware
PS4 may have won sales-wise but it too is struggling for games compared to the consoles of last generation's healthy supply of games.

Is every developer just slow and dead or were the consoles rushed out of the door? Every console of last generation had that one thing and more that people were buying it for
>Wii's debut as the first succesful wagglan console as well as good first party line-up
>XB360 had Halo 3 and a good line-up of games
>PS3 was kinda shit at first but got a shitton of games after the first year and took control later in the generation

This generation is just boring compared to past achievements and the worst part is that last generation was not even best generation.
>>
>>335700171
Don't underestimate the number of people desperately hoping that maybe (game name here) isn't as terrible as it seems because the alternative is to wait several more months for another game which itself may or may not be crap.

Eventually, some people begin settling for stuff they wouldn't even consider normally because they want to play something new for a change that they haven't already played over and over again. It's like a man who hasn't eaten in weeks ravenously devouring a piece of half-rotten meat because the alternative is starvation; granted, that might be a bit of an extreme comparison, but the point is that after a while even a relatively bad game starts to seem preferable to none at all.

And while I admit this is just me talking, the modern stuff has spoiled me. The older games may have better quality, but they still come off as looking and feeling visibly older and less polished than more recent stuff, and it just doesn't feel as good as it could (or should) be as a result. It's hard to appreciate the old classics when something like "this would be better if it was in HD" simply will not get out of your mind.

Neither. It's the inevitable result of capitalism and the vast majority of consumers having absolutely no awareness of game/console quality and even less interest in educating themselves about it. The entirety of /v/ in all of its divisions is becoming more and more of a vocal minority by the day, and as long as the industry doesn't do anything objectively retarded like make a console that occasionally explodes when turned on or create a game that even Newgrounds wouldn't accept, they're never going to falter.

I mean holy shit, the ps3 was notorious for its lack of games at release but even after 2 years it got good.

What does gen 8 give us? Watered down AAA titles riddled with dlc, season passes, broken games and horrid mediocrity.

WHERE ARE THE GAMES
>>
Gen 8 is one of the last nails in the coffin of gaming. Everything is forced online play, couch co-op is dead, controllers cost $50 a piece, microtransactions are normalized, season passes are a thing, and you can't buy a complete game upfront anymore. Less innovation and quirky one-off titles, more bland shooters. For God's sake, the DS4 comes with a fucking "share" button. There are a couple of games here and there that look fun, but that's about it.

Gen 6 is the peak of 3D video game achievement in terms of innovation, great consoles, great controllers, and most importantly, couch co-op.

Gen 4 is probably the best for 2D consoles/handhelds (SNES + GameBoy)

Gen 7 was good overall, but is also the turning point of where things start to go down the "money>fun" route that we plainly see gen 8 on now.

Yes, video games have always been on the "money>fun" route, but at this point it's criminally apparent rather than hidden behind a forgivable product.

Last gen exists but you were probably 8 years old when the 360 came out so you think those were the good ol days.

goddamn, what a bunch of inbred virgins you all are

>younglets are so young they don't remember how awful 7th gen was

>>335713223
Come on anon, those were 2D platformers everyone and their mother could play

I've yet to find anyone that tells me that SMW, DKC, STH 1-3 were hard games

>>335713201
>everything is standardized and samey with little variation or variety while also being easy as fuck and less like a video game
Literally strawman: the post
So you are saying Mario didn't set the standard for platformers?
OoT didn't set the standard for adventure games and open world games?
Doom/HL/CS didn't set the standard for FPS?

Don't talk to me about "little variation" when around the PS1 era we had 1 million mascot platformers that didn't change much
After then it would move onto 1 million FPS so shut up and don't pretend "muh golden age of gaming" was perfect because games now are way better than what they were back then is just everything around them is the problem

Nintendoland (better than Wii Sports)

Wii U hit a rough spot last year but its pretty decent console

>long time pc gamer
>since the mid 90's

>had a xbone

Pathetic that you had to lie about being a long time gamer and talk about your "veteran" status. Only Microsoft fanboys and underage kids got the Xbone.

>got fully back into pc gaming

Cut the bullshit, if you were a real "le epic 90s gamurr" you would have stuck with PC gaming from the start instead of wasting money on fucking current gen consoles.

>>335714830
Literally nobody said that during the PS2, GC, XBOX gen

>>335716231
That's because they're casual faggots who've never played past the first worlds, when people say they've played a game these days, it means they've played the first level or watched a let's play-er do it.
>>
>>335717126
lots of people freaked the fuck out over things like Wind Waker and Sunshine.
>>
>>335716601
Woah, autistic rage babby detected, let people choose what they want to play, I bought an Xbox one for Halo, I don't have any reason to buy a Big Bux PC other than Bethesda games, I still play N64 more than anything though.

>>335716758
This is very true. Everyone wants to belong to a certain "group" inside their hobbies. The "90s kids xD", the MOBA players, the "lol so hard" Souls players, the average CoD/AssCreed/AAA consumer, the "so deep" indie players, etc.

The quality doesn't matter anymore. As long as the game caters to a specific group, it will keep selling because there will be people to talk about it and help with the marketing. If you don't buy it, you fall behind in the discussion.

>>335717628
They've got a lot of money and rights to some of the most famous IPs and safeguarded by based japanese laws. They aren't going anywhere any time soon.
>>
>>335717908
They're not going anywhere but it's not like they're in the position to be buying anyone out.
>>
>>335714276
That would be me

I have an xbox 360, a ps4, a wii u, a 3ds xl, and a gaming pc which just recently died on me. Maybe it's because I've never really been a part of the community but I really do wonder how much of this thread is actual bitterness towards what gaming has become and how much of it is your bitterness of growing up and now all that's left is nostalgia. Honestly, I'm not seeing what most of you are seeing.

>>335718019
Maybe not now. If they get their acts together they will definitely be in the position to nab up Capcom, Sega, Atlus, Platnium. Then they'd be an unstoppable machine. They better hurry it the fuck up before Sony gets the same idea.
>>
>>335718274
Sony is in no shape to do the same either, Their TVs, phones, computers, movies, and camera divisions are all bleeding them dry. Sony is in worse shape than nintendo.
>>
>>335709870
They're all on the WiiU and anything else worthwhile is also (and better) on PC.
