Did beat 'em ups die off because they couldn't adapt to 3D or because audiences grew tired of them?

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.

Baldur's Gate 3 released with overwhelming positive reviews. Others devs worried it outshines them. Anonymous 08/13/2023 (Sun) 19:15:52 No.4895 [Reply]

Remember when Elden Ring released, AssCreed and Horizon: ZD developers were complaining about it and trying to shit on it for its minimalist interface and nitpick it even though it was basically GOTY. Well now, some are upset about Baldur's Gate 3 bc it's a rich product packed with content and no microtransactions. Other developers are saying it sets the bar and expectations too high bc they know they can't reach this level and want gamer expectation set low so they can abuse gamers and rip them off with shitty products, broken on release, and overcharged with gambling microtransactions to suck your wallet dry for as little content as possible. Developers don't want other developers to overdeliver especially Indie devs that can't match the budget or bigger studios. It's kind of like the saying "The tall poppy gets cut down." If you stand out and achieve success, you'll get criticized for standing out from the crowd. In this case, there is some developer concern that gamers will expect a good game for $60 and they know if gamers expect BG3 to become the norm, then developers can't get away with their shitty practices. BG3 is currently sitting at 97 on 20 critic reviews.

Now a 96 score on 86 critic reviews. So what is stopping this game from being ranked #1 PC game of all time? It has more way reviews than Disco Elysium. And has more reviews than Half Life 2. It must be something about how the reviews are weighted. Disco Elysium on has 11 reviews yet it's rated number 1 so how is this game with 86 reviews ranked below it, even though it's 96 and not 97. Gamerrankings.com used to be helpful to compare with Metacritic but that site went down. https://www.metacritic.com/browse/games/score/metascore/all/pc/filtered

>>5337 Now at 107 reviews, with a 96 score. The highest-rated PC game of all time. Anything ranked above it doesn't count bc they have less reviews. Disco Elysium only has 11 reviews and that game is a final version of the original Disco Elysium so it doesn't count. The original Disco Elysium got a 90. The Orange Box doesn't count as it's a re-release of 2 games. Sports games don't count unless it's Tony Hawk. And the rest has less reviews so they should be weighted less than BG3. It's over bro. Accept fate. You're looking at the greatest PC game of all time. https://www.metacritic.com/browse/game/pc/all/all-time/metascore/?platform=pc&releaseYearMin=1910&releaseYearMax=2023&page=1

>trusting critic/jewnalist reviews whether positive or negative Come on dude you should know better by now. I only give a slight shit about customer scores and even then they're still not much better than critic reviews because consumers are usually bandwagonning idiots with a healthy number of customer reviews also being """""customer""""" reviews. The only important thing to answer is can I fuck the gnolls?

>>5677 >The PS1 original came on 3 discs 'cause it was jammed with content. It came on 3 discs because it was on stinking CDroms. We went from most games taking up several discs (CDs), to most game taking up 1 disc (DVDs), to all games taking up 1 disc (Bluray) to... games taking up several discs again. Because we hit the technology ceiling and nothing is developing further, nor graphics nor the media. Its regressing backwards because the bloat cannot be sustained. Soon games will take 3 discs again.

>>5679 >Soon games will take 3 discs again. I wouldn't complain about that. If they have the game ready to go playable offline from physical media then that's good imo. US developers wouldn't do that. They're trying to phase out physical media altogether. Or if they have physical media it's just a placeholder and you have to install a day 1 100 GB "update".

>>5678 Then name 1 that allows immediate fast travel anywhere. >>5679 Multiple discs is not the problem. The problem is that modern game assets are huge and the discs aren't being used anymore to load data into the console's memory. You're expected to download a 200 GB game, which takes up half of an 500 GB SSD. It seems all the games are downloaded onto the SSD now whether you buy on disc or not. Bc they need to be able to get the benefits of playing from a game installed to the hard drive. Faster loading, fast travel.

Is there any site like OAG? I used to read it, then it vanished in 2020, and now it seems like there is not a single good gaming website anymore. Literally all of them are woke leftist hipster nigger loving shit. Billy D seems to have vanished with the site.
