Makes Reddit whine.

Nothing will ever be /v/ approved forever. After a while people who didn't play it will start getting upset that people talk about a game they didn't play and shit on it until it becomes common practice.

PC exclusive
Old
Autism-tier genre like RTS, RPG, or FPS without aim down sights
Lacks cutscenes
Absence of anything that would seem appealing to tumblr or reddit (This is the most important)

just look at undertale for reference

>>335048390
can run on any toaster

not popular

tons of replayability

has history behind it

little mysterious

no sex appeal in the game itself, but is very easy to sexualize
>>
>>335048651
What is appealing to reddit and tumble? Sjw's and indie ?

>>335048875
See: undertale, life is strange, gone home
(not that these are necessarily bad games they just get shit on)

Reasonably difficult
Obscure
Not something a normal person can "just jump into"
Easily memeable
Pic kind of related

/v/ and tumblr actually have similar tastes in that regard.

>/v/ game
>10 hour cinematic experience by Square or Kojima
>100 hours of filler or grinding or going through hallways
>gameplay is full of quick time events
>no challenge whatsoever because of this hate against anyone who's a "tryhard"
>it has tits and girls in bikinis though, so it's okay!
>emotions and feelings and artsy fartsy crap everywhere
>memes (LE SQUID IS A KID XD, I'm really feeling it!, Le nanomachines! Geeeet dunked on XD!, and etc)

>tumblr game
>2 hour cinematic experience made in game maker or Garry's mod
>tells a "Story"
>full of politics
>gameplay is casualized, has quick time events
>any semblance of hard mode is considered "toxic" and "problematic"
>it has a strong female who don't need no man, though!
>emotions and feelings and trying to be "artistic" over actually being a game
>either tries too hard to be retro, or too hard to be realistic
>memes (rage face, troll face, internet humor from 2008, etc)

The common theme here is games that focus too much on non-gameplay elements. Examples would include Metal Gear, Uncharted, TLOU, Xenoblade, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Bayonetta, Undertale, Gone Home, Depression Quest, modern Metroid games, modern Zelda titles, and anything that has crappy gameplay and/or has more than 1 hour of cutscenes and story and plot and all that garbage.

So are we posting Chen or not.
>>
>>335048548
But then you don't please the weeaboo side.
So you don't please /v/ as a whole.
>>
>>335048390
>Niche, but not too niche.
>While it can be popular, it can't have a massive or incredibly dedicated fanbase on the internet especially on Reddit or Tumblr.
>There has to be enough to talk about to justify occasional threads.
>Being Japanese helps, but isn't necessary.
>Waifus help, but are not necessary.

The second part is by far the most important.
