ITT: We unleash the cold hard truths of the state of gaming past or present, and discuss them. Please no non-answers like "Hurdur that's your opinion man" if you don't like it then say something that makes sense or be ignored
>Almost all AAA companies take advantage of DLC milking >Bethesda is quickly starting to become worse than EA and Ubisoft combined with it's false paid DLC >Most people who play video games are young kids and the developers will focus on taking advantage of their limited knowledge of the world
These probably aren't the best, but I'm just trying to get this shit started. What are your favorite video game redpills?
you should not play video games past the age of 30.
Nathaniel Myers
>*Paid mods
Sorry lads I'm a bit tired today, and if you don't know what that means from the shitposts that have flooded this board for the past month, they are making their player-made DLC 'unlockable' through the use of buying credits.
>So techincally it's free right, you just have to pay to access it lol?
Carter Hughes
Why? Do my escapist hobbies harm anyone even while I have a productive job and active social life?
Benjamin Watson
*age of 25
If you still play games by the time you hit 30 there is literally no hope for you and you should just kill yourself
Camden Wood
That makes no sense, what is SO bad about playing video games past a certain age? It affects no other factors of your life other than what you do for fun
Sebastian Harris
you're not actually having fun, you're having a desire to justify the time spent by using meaningless buzzwords. This is what he meant when he said games don't have to be fun
Samuel Carter
Is this how you think? I've always played them because I like to see how good I can get. I've been thinking of speed running some of the old mega man games
Jose Long
There is a point where you need to put your toys away and grow up.
Landon Ramirez
MOBAs killed the MMO genre. MOBAs offer everything MMOs accomplish to the player but cost less money investment and development time. >Excessive carrot on a stick rewards and events to keep people playing >Grinding to get bigger numbers >Playing with a team and socializing with others to win >You progress from being weak to powerful >Most of them are fantasy based and have waifus and all that crap covered Why play a MMO over a MOBA now?
Camden Carter
Ape Escape 4 Never Ever.
It was the hardest one to swallow. :[
Gabriel Gray
all game devs are shit
Ethan Richardson
Sounds like you're talking out of society's ass pal, what experience do you have with this? What do you do? Why do you feel like you can talk about something like this when you browse a forum full of people who talk about video games?
Landon Watson
I doubt that. As long as there is some kind of brand recognition for any property devs will eventually try to exploit it.
Isaac Morris

Gabriel Allen
>Redpill Abandon Sup Forums. Even if there are video game discussions, it's nothing but underageb& shitposting/trolling and calling people who want to discuss their games shills.
Aiden Adams
Story has a place in video games.
Dylan Allen
Most people who play video games now are fucking casuals, to the point where the first Crash Bandicoot is being labelled with the retarded "dark souls so hardXD" meme
Jordan Ramirez
The reason most games suck now is because of the massive timesink that modern game engines are. Thousands of times more hours are put into developing and working with complex engines now than before, and so usually games suffer at the expense of gameplay, optimization, and story.
Jacob Adams
>ITT: Smarks say there should be an age limit on video games while they're on a forum about video games
Hahaha good shit nerds
Nathan Walker
>video games are just a very elaborate way to modify a savefile
That's all you do. Hundreds of hours and all you do is modify a file that's less than 10MB.
Jayden Powell
>Why do you feel like you can talk about something like this when you browse a forum full of people who talk about video games?
Because I'm still young enough for playing video games to be acceptable. The second I hit 25 I'm dropping this shit and moving forward with my life.
You sound like the typical autistic fuck up who can't comprehend that society looks down on "adults" who waste their time on escapist toys.
Anthony Gonzalez
I guess in the grand scheme of things yes, but when you look that far down the rabbit hole it's hard to have fun with them
Jordan Miller
>I'm only enjoying this because I'm young xD
Wrong, you're making excuses bud. You could have a job and a car right now like you claim to want but you sit on that 'escapist toy' while talking shit about people who do the same on the internet, and don't get me wrong I do it too but I don't act like I love the smell of my own shit, like you do. Get fucking woke kid
Isaiah Gonzalez
>Being this much of a conformist bitch
Gavin Nelson
Every inch of internet is fucked up by shills. Fanboys, delusioned idiots... those are manipulated anons we have to help, and by fanboys I mean underaged or mental people. Money can't buy your brain, but if this goes on everyone gets that brain chip, just joking, no need for a chip you're all fucking retarded.
Eli Gutierrez
>reading is just a very elaborate way of flipping pages The point is the experience, not the physical changes you're making
Ayden Ward
You forgot to mention the bots that spread the propaganda of the elite online. There is an ungodly fuck ton of those.
Parker Cox
This is the way it's always been user, and it is how it always will be. There is no real way to punish people who get away with saying stupid shit other than a "BTFO" but even then it won't stop them from doing it again
Oliver Torres
Sup Forums is a shit place to talk about games. Sup Forums does it better.
Camden Murphy
It's a quip targeted at my favorite games, Diablo/Borderlands/Warframe and such grindy shit. You experience basically everything the game has to offer in the first 20 hours, all grind from then on.
Zachary Taylor

Ian Martinez
You're asking me to decide between lonely teenage shitheads or mentally ill 20 somethings. Both are awful.
Adrian Peterson
People that create bait threads and ruin others are redditors that think this place is for shitposting only and you can only have real conversations in their shitty site Whitout noticing that they are the reason the site is bad sometimes
Jordan Wilson
Sup Forums, reddit, and neogaf are all fucking cancer. Get over it kiddies, you're only followers to a trendy manchild movement
Mason Mitchell
It's overwhelming man, I only come here because it's easier to start a thread/reply but what's the point when 90% of people here are underaged pol fags?
Charles King
Not an argument
Lucas Edwards
If you bring bait race shit tothe treas they will awnser with bait race shit When i start a thread that never happens
Jace Foster
Also not an argument
Austin Collins
Nice try (((reddit)))
Tyler Ross
There is literally no reason to browse Sup Forums in its current state compared to other forum sites, they're all completely awful, just in different ways. Sup Forums likes to rightfully complain that the reason reddit is fucking shit is because of the heavy moderation and robotic nature of threads and posters, which is true. But now Sup Forums has the opposite problem of having way too many godawful offtopic threads that actively make discussion for everything else even worse. Not to mention how everythread is completely predictable, just go into any thread about a Nintendo/Sony exclusive and half the posts will be console wojaks guaranteed. I came to Sup Forums to discuss and find some obscure vidya, but now I can't even do that since most of the current userbase hasn't played those games, and go into the threads anyways to whine about how old and archaic they are.
Oliver Phillips
Not an argument is not an argument
Jayden Hill
Yeah, I just wanted some harsh truths about the state of gaming and all people can talk about is how things are bad without any real reason or blow up in some stupid pointless argument about Sup Forums, something that has NOTHING to do with video games
David Wood
Almost every splatoon thread turns into a pedo circle jerk
Luke Foster
These are not real arguments
Josiah Hernandez
Sup Forums was alright before but after during the elections it served as a massive gateway for reddit cancer from r/donald or whatever its name is. The amount of newfags was fuckign appalling, and now they're spreading to other boards.
Jacob Green
I hate to break it to you man but this site's pol AND reddit's is a fucking shitshow full of underage kiddies trying to be edgy rather than discussing actual happenings.
Also Not an argument is not an argument is not an argument, double nigga double bitch get the fuck on my level
Matthew Sanders
Because redditors are blaming everything on their boogeyman
Ayden Sullivan

Jaxson Cooper
Lolifag thread a day keeps the normalfag away.
Adrian Gray
There are no arguments
Elijah Johnson
When they're not talking about politics the few Sup Forums related threads are alright imo. They just get 404'd in 5 minutes
Jack Thompson
Underage are more likely to force politics shit. Anyone who has been here for a decade or so probably just wants to talk about videogames. Anyone who is new should just shut up and let their betters speak.
Liam Wilson
People post on Sup Forums to get attention. They will start a thread with a meme or a provocative statement and people will compent to get their (you)s. This creates a cycle where one person responds to another piece of bait with their own and it keeps the thread constantly bumped.
Threads that do not follow this format get quickly bumped off.
In short the most fervent posters are more interested in getting a rise out of people than actually discussing games. So that's what the board is about.
Unless you had a draconian level of modding nothing would change. In other words you would have to start IP banning people in a mass scale in order to change the population of Sup Forums.
Kayden Rodriguez
ITT WE TALK ABOUT V RATHER THAN VIDEO GAME REDPILLS BECAUSE NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO KEEP A THREAD ON RAILS
FUCKKKKKK
Jaxson Lewis
Sorry faggot but anyone over the age of 18 is allowed to post here. If you don't it like get lost.
Logan Rodriguez
>He actually admits he's underaged
Here's your L, little guy
Leo Phillips
I still hold the opinion that Hiro should've removed (You)s when he did had the chance
Joshua Reed
I seriously doubt most of you are 18. You speak and act like teenagers which is just about the stupidest point of a person's life.
Colton Fisher

Camden Jackson

I'm 20 and I'm not going to lurk just because someone on the internet told me to.
Jeremiah White
>MUH SERIOUS DISCUSSION
Fuck off, going to the internet to have a """"""serious conversation""""" about video games of all things is the one the most retarded and pointless waste of time I can imagine.
At least posting bait and getting (You)s provides a small amount of entertainment, unlike the boring autistic bullshit you want.
Isaiah Flores
>>Bethesda is quickly starting to become worse than EA and Ubisoft combined with it's false paid DLC
howd they fuck up the fallout 4 DLCs so hard?
Brayden Richardson
20 is not underaged?
Jackson Baker

Oliver Scott
I'm 20, Gen Z is running this bitch.
Thomas Nguyen
So you're idea of fun is acting like a moron on the internet using text and funny haha pictures? You realize that's literally what an autistic person would do right?
Nolan Richardson
That's fine buddy, you do what you want.
At least a baby is smart enough to entrust itself to an adult. Teenagers think they know shit which is the problem.
Pretty sure you're still a millennial.
William Butler
Gaming has always been as shit as today You only remember the best 2 or 3 games of every year Today there are actually more good ones because there are at least 10 not AAA games worth checking every year
Zachary Scott
>Not posting an Anita You wasted such a great opportunity given recent events.
Joseph Johnson
There is no such thing as an argument
Julian Johnson
The problem is the population. If you wanted to fish for (yous)'s you could always control+f the thread for your post number. Alternatively if you were the OP every reply would be feel like a response in some way.
The people that use message boards as their primary means of social interaction have ugly minds. As a result everything they do will be ugly. For example both total anonymity (Sup Forums) and it's opposite, having an ID (reddit) result in terrible consequences. No matter what the format is ugly people will find express themself in ugly ways. Changing the rules just changes the shape of the ugliness.
The only solution would be to physically prevent these people from posting in the first place.
Charles Johnson
Gen Z starts at 97
Colton Martinez
Hurr derr that's just your opinion man
Easton Williams
>arguing for censorship Not even once, no matter how annoying it gets. I will not sacrifice my freedom.
John Garcia
No it hasn't been, DLC killed video game developers will to make quality video games that make sense to play. The only thing they are interested in is creating income generators and throw the virtual entertainment tarp over it. Don't believe me? Look at cashgrabs like GTA V sharkcards, literally any free to play MMO, and almost any modern Ubisoft/EA title with a million DLC's for cosmetics/small game features like extra weapons/vehicles. Most AAA developers want your money, not a good game
Ryan Robinson
"Millennials (also known as Generation Y) are the demographic cohort following Generation X. There are no precise dates for when this cohort starts or ends. Demographers and researchers typically use the early 1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth years."
This isn't really worth arguing about though, I don't care anymore. In 5 years you'll realize you were a retard and in another 5 years I'll probably realize I was a retard and I'll be shit talking people in their late 20s instead.
Tyler Taylor

Leo Martin
I'm 20 and Halo 3 sucks compared to Halo 2. Did you not have the original xbox?
Logan Roberts
M8, people expect you to drop video games around 16, not 25. You're already too far gone.
Mason Jenkins
Sup Forums was never some bastion of free speech you dumb cunt. People used to get publicly banned for next to no reason or just for irritating moot.
Sup Forums needs public bans back and to just go absolutely ham with them.
Dylan Lopez
Gen Z "There are no precise dates for when this cohort starts or ends; demographers and researchers typically use starting birth years ranging from the mid-1990s to early 2000s, and as of yet there is little consensus about ending birth years."
Lincoln Cruz
"NO!"
Cooper Hall
There is also a time when you need to stop watching Television, posting on Sup Forums and just work your entire life having no meaning at all when you die.
Owen Wood
If there was no precise date how did you so confidently list '97?
Nathan White
This, we need hiroshimoots godhand or no discussion will come of this place. I used to shitposted constantly since 2014 and the worst I got was a five day ban. We need justice!
Zachary Williams
Nah, as a child I gamed on PC, & Nintendo. I went from playing Halo CE on PC, to halo 3 on PC. It wasn't till I was an adult that I played Halo 2.
