What cancers are killing videogames?

[ElitePunter]

Looking at the first page of this board I see the 3 most recently bumped threads are for TLoU, Assassin's Creed and Battlefield 4.

The Last of Us barely qualifies as a game. It's a cinematic experience.

Assassin's Creed is dumb shit made by 7 (seven) shitty AAA developers. This series panders to morons.

Battlefield 4 is a reskinned BF3.

Developers and publishers have journalists in their pockets and vice versa. Interviews like this go unnoticed.

The market is saturated with 2 types of games. Games that have too many set pieces, canned animations and QTEs, and shitty indie games.

What are your thoughts?

I'm almost convinced this is a troll thread.

In the case that it's not ...

FPS games.
On a similar note (i.e. the repetition), phoned in sequels.
On a similar note to that, the obsession with mainstream cooker-cutter or samey-samey sequels which can kill unique IPs because people (or kids) can only see the popular names.
DLC when the developers deliberately make people cough up money for things we used to get for free via being good at the game.
The fact that developers can't understand cutscenes can be skippable.

Flogs like you.

What makes you think it's a troll thread? I'm being genuine.

And yes, p2w and microtransactions are cancer.

Enjoy your ban.

Lol. You called people who like a Farking video game morons but I'm getting the ban?

Look I don't like lots of games however I'm not going to call ppl who do like them names like the op has.

Instead of attacking ppl why didn't you just put things that are bad for the gamers in general such as micro transactions and the Australia tax.

If you saw their thread on the GD board about the top 5 worst websites, you can tell they're trolling.

Micro-transactions would have been a legitimate answer.

Speaking of Australia ... our pussy willow politician W(ever)TF his name is.
That, and the media outrage that convinces stupid people video games make people violent.

Neither thread is a troll.

Having an opinion that's different to yours isn't trolling.

I did list what's bad about them.

The main problem is people like you.

Dumb consumers. This is what happens to an industry that has started to pander specifically to the 10-18 crowd. People this age are ****ing ******s. They'll buy without questioning it. They'll consume with no critical thought applied. And when that's done, they'll repeat the same exact procedure the year after, with the publisher simply peeling off the 4 and making it a 5.

We can whine about shitty publishers all day long, but nothing will change so long as they know they can sell 10 million copies with some fake E3 trailers and 100 million dollar marketing campaign. Why bother making something special that will sell one million units that requires effort when you can just throw money at some marketing department to fake the next big cultural phenomenon.

AA gaming is dying and in some places completely dead. And with it, quality and innovation has died. We now have publishers making ******ed games for ******ed people since ******ed people are in majority. There's no incentive making games smart since consumers aren't smart. There's no sense challenging the player when that will result in loss of sale.

The fact that gaming "journalism" is so broken and corrupt doesn't help either. Hell, the entire information output of this industry is weird as ****. Publishers have not only reviewers in their pockets, they also invest heavily in forum and imageboards to spread false hype and positivity.
