Now hear me out for a second, cause I know there are a LOT of Space shitters here who will no doubt try to shit up my thread cause their lame ass excuse for video games are shit.
Let's start from the top, No Man's Sky, which is going to be utter shit, stole it's code and has nothing to offer. Star Citizen is trash cursed by feature creep and is a scam. And finally Freespace, a game which was suggested to me by some (now ex) friends of mine, is a shitty relic from days gone by and it's story is the most generic of western sci-fi shit I've ever experienced.
Now, Space-Sims aren't the ONLY poseur genre out there, there are MANY more (as listed in pic related), but it's one of the more prominent ones.
You all have a great day, and don't play pseudo-intellectual mr.bungle style trash.
Parker Torres
what the fuck is poseur? just a faggy way of saying poser?
Easton Bell
It's the proper way to say "Poser".

Are you a butthurt poseur trying to cover your lack of self-esteem by posting "BATE" and "SAGED"?
Apply yourself and get some real taste.
Joseph Bennett
Alright tripfag, what do you consider a good game?

Honestly grew bored of Deus Ex by the time I reached the sub base. Stalker is definitely overrated trash and Hotline Memeiami is alright, though the premise is flawed. I haven't played the others.
Thanks for reading my blog, like, comment and subscribe for more great posts.

What is the point of being a tripfag? Is it to get replies? For the years I've been here I still can't fucking understand it. Go to fucking Reddit.
Evan Richardson
Give me a detailed explanation as to why each game on this chart is considered "poseur-core", OP.
Justin Garcia
I imagine since they're popular OP assumes "pseudo intellectuals" attach to them to be seen as having good taste. OP is a dumbass though as those are popular games since they're just legitimately good fucking games.

What's poseur about Hotline Miami? It's a fun game, the others are boring and pretentious.

fucking faggot trying to feel better because "muh taste" just play what you want, drop the trip and go eat a dick
Nathaniel Diaz
Nice buzzwords. Good thing it's a fucking VIDEOGAME so the plot can take a back seat
Benjamin Parker
>What is the point of being a tripfag? Is it to get replies? Yes. They're only useful on hobby boards where personal experience or advice counts for a lot, in which case it's good to have a way of verifying someone's identity ie Sup Forums, /fa/
Thanks for making filtering you so easy, ButterToast

Just finished playing through the STALKER games.
I enjoyed it very much.
Daniel Ward
I truly pity underage so desperate to stand out in a previously niche market gone mainstream they have to make terms like "poser-core"
elitism works in literature and film, MAYBE music, but for video games it's hilarious- there has never been a complex video game, they are all stupid and easy but simply design themselves in slightly more original ways to hide the fact
Adam Powell
>Hotline Miami >Not pretentious Look I fucking love HM but your crazy if you think Deus Ex or Homeworld are more pretentious.
Christopher Bailey
>inscrutable I don't think you know what that means, user.
>there has never been a complex video game, they are all stupid and easy but simply design themselves in slightly more original ways to hide the fact This is bait.
Noah Stewart
Fuck, I meant you're.
Kayden Morgan
>GOG-core
every single time.
Those games are bad, at best mediocre, by no stretch are they worse than the ones in the pic, they're certainly designed worse
whatever, people will do anything to feel special, some with lower means than others, I.E. being a snowflake in video game taste KEK
Cooper Rogers
>This is bait. But it's not. You probably also think games are art too. Western culture has degraded quite heavily to allow that to become accepted as a general rule.
Lucas Fisher
No Man's Sky kind of looks shitty to me and all, and Elite Dangerous sapped my faith in new space-sims but: Only you can prevent yourself from using a shitty tripcode, faggot.
Oliver Reed
>Are space-sim the most poser-core genre
No, dungeon crawlers are.
Julian Brooks
They're fun.
Jose Jones
>inscrutable: impossible to understand or interpret. people act like the over-the-top kill sprites are on purpose but it's really because it's impossible to be subtle with meme pixels.
look at the sprite of anyone or anything that's not being bludgeoned or swinging a pipe and you'll see what i mean
Christian Collins
is playing eye fine on your own or do you need to play with friends?
Daniel Collins
How? That game is absolutely ass even with the changes, quests are incomprehensible, trading is fucking quantum physics, the graphics and atmosphere is nice though. I like the game but damn it was a blunder.
Ryan Powell
can you rec me some good non poseur-core games then user?
Parker Flores
>Freespace >relic from days gone by
woah, that underage was easy to spot
Aaron Kelly
Don't know whether or not you've played with the expansions but with those I absolutely love it.
Jack White
Is this pouser core?
Jose Robinson
>no, dungeon crawlers are
>post this >see
and this is why tripfags have never once been taken seriously.
Nathan Powell
Hey wow look it's someone trying to emulate another annoying tripfag like Quentin by acting like a retard and posting their name all over everything How original It never ceases to amaze me what people will do to get attention on this site
Benjamin Adams
Elitism makes the most since for videogames since they tend to be long and able to lock you out of content.
Samuel James
No I haven't, I got stuck on a quest to build something in like the mid game and noone could figure it out, this was in launch by the way, you had to build a space station. I tried really really hard to like it, really really hard.
Mason Phillips
>trying to get attention >on a site that is popular for how it allows people to use internet anonymity
I will never understand these underages.
Christopher Ward
>didn't even bother to make a comic >just 1 image of a manga girl
Nicholas Foster
get fucked tripfag
Anthony Wilson
I'd highly suggest giving it another go if you still feel like getting into it.
Evan Martinez
>elitism makes the most sense for video games
where's your tripcode?
people like you make me angry that a brain was wasted on you when so many others could have it instead
Zachary Sanders
>it's another "art students don their fedoras to adress the uncultured weaklings" episode
Chase Green
Yeah, it's pretty lazy fucking bait, but people still fall for it because Sup Forums is so easy to troll Remember back in the day when shitty bait like this was just ignored?
Landon White
Yeah I would but if I am going to go back into it I might as well try No Man's sky.
Anthony Perry
Not that guy, but I agree Hotline Miami's story is pretentious and stupid as fuck. I think it's a fun game though
Aiden Rivera
where the hell did this potion seller meme come from
it's just some chump fucking around with his webcam filter for a few minutes
Nathaniel James
More power to you than.
Though I'd say blowing $20 on a game you might not like is better than $60 on a pile of shit.
Thomas Garcia
I agree with them though, video game elitism (implying it's an art form to begin with) is someting reserved for uncultured snowflake 15 year olds and it must be countered with basic logic
Parker Walker
But you could make a game that nobody could never beat. Surely content blocking because someone doesn't pass a test is as elitest as you can get
Daniel Gutierrez
TRIPFAGS ALWAYS BTFO
Jace Ward
So what does this term mean? The poser part makes it sound like they don't play the games but you're clearly implying they are just bad or something. you should have just called it fedora core. 4/10 meet me after class
Adam Gray
>But it's not Are you sure? Because aside from your preoccupation with decadence and a pretty strict definition of art which, while I disagree with, is fair... are you just saying that there haven't been any complex video games, or do you think it's impossible for a video game to be complex? In both cases, Pathologic.
Dislike of the artstyle is fair, but I still think it's a bit of an overstatement to say they're incomprehensible - objects, people, animals can all be easily distinguished, as can their types. Plus, 'inscrutable' doesn't have particularly negative connotations, which is what I was trying to point out.

William Adams
Has a game ever like this *actually* been made, though?
Will it ever be made, thanks to the massive budget and teams games require, or at the very least long amounts of time, all of this leading to the prerequisite of people liking it?
Either way, that's still a pretty flimsy way of justifying it, I think you're just another retard desperate to look cultured or special but don't want to put in the effort to read or look into actual art so you just lower art's definition to where games fall under it. like the neckebeards that think capeshit is anything more than childrens movies

Landon Roberts
I guess I could understand calling Deus Ex a "poser" game, since it's so often praised as such a great game, but what the fuck is Armored Core doing there? It's pretty fucking niche, so you're not baiting very many people with that just me
Nolan Richardson
>Deus Ex >Shit Pick one.
Xavier Walker
I'd have believed you if you had mentioned Kerbal Space Program, but you missed that chance. Good riddance.
