What the hell is a meme game?
>>
>>344322151
/v/ shorthand for "whatever game I don't like".

Interchangeable with casual.
>>
Any game you don't like.
>>
>>344322151
>>344322236
>>344322275
It literally refers to a popular game. What's hard to grasp?

1. literally a game with memes
2. game whose popularity is largely a meme through parroting and bandwagon popularity mostly by people that haven't played it. when they do they immediately bitch and whine about how it didn't live up to their expectations
>>
Game made to appeal to an audience I'm not a part of.

You all are retarded, its a game that has heavy use of 4th wall breaking and pop culture references

And also games that have meme status like LEL DARK SOULS IS SUPER HARD XD or LEL SUPERMAN 64 IS THE WORST GAME EVER
>>
>>344322723
Right, so it's a game you don't like as they said.
>>
>>344322723

This seems to be the best description. Some examples include:

>Kid Icarus (pitty pat XD)
>Splatoon (le squid is a kid!)
>Metal Gear (haha nanomachines! le played like a fiddle!)
>Undertale (haha funny evil random flower of doom! basketball and spaghetti and anime!)
>Xenoblade (le true power of le monado! get a load of these le jokers!)

It's really easy to spot them out in a crowd because of how obnoxious they are and how "in your face" they want to be. It's sad.
>>
>>344322151
Overwatch
League of Legends
Dota 2
CS:GO
TF2

These are the meme games
>>
>>344322723
It's fine to pretend anon but the grand majority of /v/ throws the term around to mean whatever game they have a personal grudge against at the time.
>>
>>344322151
You've ever played Undertale?
>>
>>344322151

It's a meme to recommend Ni No Kuni because anyone who has actually played the game would agree it's shit.
>>
>>344322928
Kill yourself
>>
>>344322151
Overnight popular games that are called the best thing ever and then forgot about
>>
The only literal meme game is that Meme Runner thing on Wii U. There is no other meme game.

Guacamelee can be counted if you count background stuff that doesn't impact gameplay though, since there's old rage faces in there.
>>
>>344322151
a game endlessly shilled or fanwanked over, to the perturbation of /v/'s denizens

some meme games are immune, like DOTA2
>>
>>344322452
this

it's a way to shit on a game for being popular without having to say "popular"

Do you think that impotent rage has ever worked on anyone?
>>
>>344322984
Except the games themelves rarely ever actually try to force the memes

Played like a fiddle is something that came from bad VA work, and nanomachines is from how over-the-top it is

Squid is a kid is just from the earworm tendency the themes us, same with the shit from xenoblade

There are no meme games, only meme players. They wouldn't have half the notoriety if you and shitters here didn't try to force it so much. You're the one at fault here, not the games

tl;dr: you're a faggot

>games push the memes constantly 24/7 through ads and while in-game
>it's the players that are at fault
>>
A game that spawns a fuckton of stupid meme shit that is so le funny.
Like Dark Souls.
Can be also be a game that is it itself made for the sake of meme culture.
Like Goat Simulator.

That's how I see it anyway.

>none of the stated games push the memes at all
>>
>>344324084
Except out of the fucking examples you posted, only one of those were every fucking pushed through ads, and calling a catchy tune a forced meme or anything is fucking retarded

"Played like a fiddle" was said exactly once, same with nanomachines and shit

You're a special kind of retard who really tries to look like an internet coolguy, you know that?

"Meme game" is a meme in and of itself, part of /v/ shitposting. So congratulations, you're just another parrot that can't think for himself, but rather just regurgitates the shit you hear

If you say so.
>>
>>344324461
its really not
pushing a meme would be them stating it in every other sentance
on top of that if undertale is the only one that you can bring up an example of then it shows you have no idea what you are talking about

>>344322151
A game which focuses more on providing the player with a certain "experience" rather than focusing on gameplay. A game designed to attract streamers because of its quirks. They are purchased solely because the customer sees a funny meme part or because the enjoy the total memetic value of it, not because the gameplay looks good(because more often than not it is absent)

people who define it as "game u dont like" simply are just memegame fans.
>>
>>344329510
Examples:
Surgeon Simulator
Stanley Parable
Valhalla
Pony Island
Undertale to a degree
>>
From what I've gathered, it's something people fall for.
>he fell for the [insert thing] meme
It's when a bunch of people do a thing that isn't actually that good and there are obviously better alternatives but for whatever reason no one does them. Bethesda games are clearly meme games in this regard.

Meme games are games that are about memes and full of memes. Games like "Meme Run" and "Game of the Year: 420 Blaze It".

/v/ likes to call any game they don't like a meme game or think having a reference to something or being weird makes something a meme game, but that's retarded.
