This is it btw, this is the final straw.
No, this is just a temper tantrum thrown by a little child with no understanding of the industry, trends or economics.
If nintendo crosses the line like the others, expect an immediate crash in the game industry.
Nintendo has been teetering on the edge of financial failure ever since they pissed on Sony who went on to bring the heat with the PlayStation. Wii? DS? Switch? Nintendo's only successful financial ventures are on the quirky, experimental side, and these end up being little more than temporary cash injections which falter after not long. They're also stubbornly Japanese, to the point that it has a negative affect on their business policies (look at the stuff they were pulling on YouTube).
Its sad really, this stagnant, uninteresting and dark age of media
The forget are you talking about? Every year, every creative media industry gets bigger and better. More talented people, more knowledge, new technologies and so forth. You want to know what gets worse?
People's expectations. They build this ridiculous sense of nostalgia and get upset when the impossible things made reality of yester-year are now the norm. 10+ years ago, the industry was childish, and there was so little raw, dedicated talent that they pooled in specific areas and so new and innovative discoveries appeared to be easy. Nowadays, those kinds of massive gains are nearly impossible, and that's actually a good thing as it means
everybody has a level playing ground and can contribute.
You have your nostaglia blinders on. Wake the forget up.
commonly seen throughout history with other forms of media usually are yhe result of a poor economy.
Games are suffering too. The global economy is in the stuffter, and the games industry is expanding at a rate too fast at which it can keep up, leading to over-saturation; but whereas 1980s Gamers were children with no say or understanding, 2010s consumers actually have an idea of quality standards, which is why there won't be another crash. Instead, we'll just see the top level of crap piss off when people demand more certification in place.
But instead this time its due to a community base of mindless junk-game zombies who'll buy the same games over and over and over for some unfathomable reason.
I would
love to see what games you play. I'm guaranteeing that they're as much the same as the games that these "zombies" you describe are playing.
I love Destiny. Have a loving go at me, cunt. I'd love to see you even try to describe me as mindless simply because I enjoy a good game.
How the hell anyone can put more that 50 hours into a gamr like CS:GO or COD or Battlefield or any first person shooter is beyond me.
Probably because they're games built with a high budget and high quality standards, that bring many people together and let them socialise and enjoy their time instead of crying about how the industry sucks now because there isn't another 9 sequels of loving Banjo-Kazooie.
You can't seem to fathom the fact that people have personal tastes, and that games can appeal to many people for many different reasons. Some people come to shooters for the competitive aspect, some for the social aspect, some to discover secrets, some to see if they can break the game, some for story, some for whatever. These games offer a lot of depth you're shrugging off because it fits your stereotype.
I'm no longer seeing quality of games of years past, only something that strangely is mirroring the movie industry. Repetitive mindless bullstuff.
The game and movie industries have always and will always pump out crap. Your nostalgia glasses are showing; you're ignoring all the budget titles and blatant cash-ins that weren't apparent to you when you were a non-paying child as it's convenient.
99% of my games library as a kid were loving shovelware titles and demos. Apparently I must be sub-human in your eyes because I had to witness my parents bring home another game with only 2 hours of content that didn't even work properly (Looking at you
Stock Car Racing).
I put games like COD and Dota in similar lists to the transformer and the fast & the furious movies. Games that take less than no effort to stuffe out and yet they keep spawning spinoffs and sequels that bring in money by the truckload like octomom without birth control.
Yeah, let's just piss over the hundreds of developers who work day in, day out to make sure that content is as good as it can be.
I know some of those people you loving prick. I can tell you, making video games is
loving hard, and just because you've never done it doesn't mean you can just flick your fingers and turn out a profit. AAA games have to reduce risk to ensure a profit so that Bill in Engineering can pay to feed his family every night.
What happened to our Banjo Kazooies our Spyro the Dragons, our Half Life 2s, our game changers?
You grew up, and you began to lose your childhood innocence. You saw what gaming really was like, and your way of justifying it was to pretend as though the early 2000s and before were better.
You're an idiot, basically. Worse than the "mindless zombies" you mentioned before.
Whats most frightening to me, is after 10 + years of the same stuff, no one seems to be worn out or burnt out by the sheer amount of samey bullstuff. It's almost as if all the game companies merged together to make a watcjmojo game development team.
I've watched you for a very long time, Master Matthew, and we've not really said many words to each other. I've seen people call you all kinds of harsh things simply because of your usually contradictory opinions, but never before have I seen you make such a blatantly handicapped argument which has got me fired up like this.
You represent everything I hate in the modern gaming audience. Self righteous arseholes who want to sell the current state of the industry short because of their rose-tinted goggles that make them believe that their sheltered gaming history was true paradise and that nothing bad ever happened. I'm here to end that delusion, forgeter.
Why don't you go back and play your loving Banjo-Kazooie or Spyro, instead of bitching about it here? Better yet, why don't you loving learn how to code and draw and do it yourself? Surely, with such educated opinions as an intellectual like you has, you
must be able to do better, right?
Get forgeted, cunt.
