People want to believe video games are artworks that will be able to be enjoyed for years to come and can constantly be critiqued by a fresh set of eyes. Nobody wants to admit the more grim reality: That nobody who isn't part of your immediate generations is going to give a single fuck about any of the video games you think are amazing. Its sad but thats just how it is. Any attempt at some kind of video game art historical curation or museum thing is just millenials desperately floundering and trying to make the thing they really loved matter more than it does. The truth is that the generation after Zoomers(Alpha) wont give much of a fuck about any of the old games and the generation after that even less. It'll all become even more ephemeral and esoteric when all the original hardware has finally bitten the dust and the only way to experience these things is emulation (which they can't into).

>>2761 >That nobody who isn't part of your immediate generations is going to give a single fuck about any of the video games Good. Normalfags should be gatekept out of gaming at any cost.
>>3416 >>3442 If zoomers won't play Deus Ex that's their loss. If Alpha/Omegas will not boot up Shenmue in their lifetime then it's a crying shame for them. All I'm going to do is curate my own things that I like and hope that a few amongst the newer generations are already interested before they come in from the cold to look at what I've got, and maybe learn a thing or two they didn't know before. Maybe most won't do that, maybe it's poppy playtime/fortnite/FNAF all the way, I don't know. But most people won't go to a museum regardless of what generation you're talking about. Gaming is one of the most self-preserving hobbies you could choose to pick on in terms of culture that gets passed down and in terms of surviving upheavals. I refuse to doom over it. We'll be culturally bereft of many more important things before we're left bereft of some of the most basic recreational activities like that.
>>8469 Modern gayming has literally nothing to do with real gaming. It's like the difference between a PS1 and an old pong console, sure they're technically both "videogames" but not really.
>>8472 But these companies making "the current thing" are making decreasingly low-tier level of slop. Are you sure even the ignorant and culturally bereft are to never notice this? These companies, they're beginning to lose money slop over fist... Do you think the fortnite character skins market should "progress" in perpetuity? Take the film industry as a parallel example. Kids might start to notice this crop of films suck shit from Goldsteinberg's ass. Said film companies may stand to make a little bit less profit. As for the millennial generation becoming a cultural irrelevance, it's worth reminding OP that due to the nature of millennials having fewer kids, millennials are the majority demographic after boomers turning from retirees to deceased. It's said that kids dictate the buying habits of adults through pester power and things, but it's mostly been about the fact the younger generation outnumber their adult peers, yet now that dynamic has reversed. So if you want your "product" to carry the broadest appeal and milk the most monied groups, then millennials are the audience you should be pandering toward. That we *all* bear irrelevance compared to the genuine well-to-do is a little bit besides the point OP had for us. Sure, we'll all be told to eat the ESG. Even if that ESG is corporate-facing and not customer-facing, any companies awash with ESG cannot help themselves from contaminating and reaching their end product(s). So, in some bizarre way I'm being an optimist. Soon Porsche will not only delete from history the Christ the Redeemer landmark (which the zoomers won't care one jot about) but the product(s) they make will turn from stagnatory, to regressive, to dead-to-market in a reasonable, single-generation length of time. Let's see these kids buy/rent these products that functionally don't work and no amount of DLC aftersales will fix them.

Point and Click Adventure Games Anonymous 12/18/2023 (Mon) 06:29:01 No.7923 [Reply]
Currently been playing this. It's really good. What are the best point and click games? Not talking about Monkey Island or Grim Fandango, more lesser known games.
Point and click adventure games are my jam. I wrote about some lesser known ones here if you're interested: >>407 >>592 >>2982 >>5121 >>5921
It's a shame this genre died out. Would have been cool to see it done with powerful modern graphics.
>>7958 just imagine what you can do with fixed camera nowadays, the level of detail on par of pre-rendered backgrounds from the 90s but all in-game and interactive. Alas, we must pander to the lowest common denominator.
>>7959 Or have pre rendered locations with modern tech, the level of layers, parallax scrolling etc., would be unprecedented. REmake looked fantastic in what 2002, it's been 20 years and nobody tried to do that again, fucking shame...
>>7958 it would play itself with modern gaming

Squeenix Thread Anonymous 03/12/2023 (Sun) 20:04:07 No.1335 [Reply] [Last]
Squeenix is losing money. I won't be surprised if they're bought by Soyny or something. Really sad state of things thinking back on their illustrious work in the past. FF16 won't be a big hit that's for sure and Forwoken undermined their brand really hard.

>>7820 It's still complete shit. It's just that what came after was somehow even worse.
>>7822 >It's still complete shit I disagree. Though it's very lackluster and disappointing in many ways, it's the last Final Fantasy that anyone actually wanted to make over at SE and that people were excited about.

>>6339 Dunno tbh. But the editors of the page decided to put Deshawn Travon's head in as if the nigger was an important insight into solving the question. Therefore >snopes says: FAKE NEWS
>>6345 But doesn't it look like the negro is using the keyboard as a hitting rock like a primordial ape, not knowing what to actually do with it? A very accurate depiction tbh.
Do you miss MMOs?

Did beat 'em ups die off because they couldn't adapt to 3D or because audiences grew tired of them?
4 posts omitted.
Why is indie pixelshit always an RPG or a Metroid clone but never a beat em up?
They were still somewhat alive on mobile during the early 2000s, I remember fondly enjoying a particularly bad Fullmetal Alchemist beat em' up on the DS, Dual Sympathy it was called. That game was pretty easy tbh, but maybe thats either the fact that game difficulty alreadly declined back than or I was better at it than I remembered.

>>5012 What cashcow? The original Far Cry wasn't some massive success.
>>5014 It still made enough money to justify experimenting with the idea of an open world FPS, something that barely anyone else was doing at the time. After 8 years and two sequels, they finally found the winning formula with Far Cry 3
>>5019 Seems more like they just applied open world slop to everything they had and bugmen eat it all up.

I wouldnt call it old or "used to" though. Timeless maybe. Thanks for sharing. >>5981 I dont have commentary of the present since indie games remains butthanks for sharing. Never played ZoE but it sure looks v funky. And classic, indeed.
>>5982 >well ff could easily been phototraced Every single texture in FF12 is hand painted, this is revealed in the production diary.
