Why do games with steampunk style even get made anymore? Steampunk is a shit aesthetic, shit setting with no thought put into it, and all the devices look fucking stupid and are completely nonfunctional. Why aren't there more cyberpunk games? Cyberpunk has more depth, realistic designed weaponry and gadgets and clothing, and isn't stuck in the goddamn past. Also no scenery in a steampunk setting even comes close to a good ol dark rainy futuristic city with neon lights in cyberpunk.

Look at this retarded ass weapon, why would anyone prefer this over cyberpunk weapons, why?

I agree op, steampunk is fucking garbage and only faggots like it

That gun is just retarded, not necessarily steampunk. I suppose steampunk would use flintlock pistols and such.
I do agree with the general gist of your argument, I'm playing through dishonored 1 at the moment and, while I recognize it has decent gameplay and mechanics, the story and characters leave much to be desired, and the steampunk theme gets in the way of my enjoyment. It's almost impossible to take it seriously.

>I suppose steampunk would use flintlock pistols and such.


nah steampunk means they use guns made of gears and shit, everything has to have gears, and pipe tubes for the steam to shoot out, and lightbulbs, lots of lightbulbs so you know shit works

All these prefixpunks are gay as shit. Only punk that's cool is just punk without any nerdy prefixes and even that's out of style.

Punk was never cool.

Thief did steampunk right.

Cyberpunk isn't "gay as shit", the rest are though. Cyberpunk is the only worthwhile punk setting due to its depth and vastly superior aesthetics.

rainy futuristic city at night>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>rainy London city at night

>posts a literal nerf gun that someone just painted bronze and slapped a doorknob on for some reason.
>"steam punk weapons suck, lol"
Not saying they don't suck, but use a better picture next time, OP. For example, pic related adds about 6 pounds of useless metal to an ordinary flintlock simply for aesthetics

Sam Hyde understands steampunk

>flintlock
That's a volcanic repeating pistol.

Talking about aesthetics here you philistine

Nah man cyberpunk don't got the denim and leather. The music sucks too. When has a cyberpunk anything had a soundtrack that's not a wubwub shit.

How does he keep getting away with it?

I like both.

>Sam Hyde
He's an unfunny fat retard.
>Talking about aesthetics here

I'm glad Killing Floor got over its steampunk phase.

Dishonored isn't steampunk.

Steampunk is pure bulshit. Only porpouse of that is for cosplayers wearing weird shit.

Victorian gothic style with a lot of cogs and brass over everything. Oh, and pocket clocks. Thats what steampunk is. There is nothing punk about it and steam is non existant since they mostly uses electric devices.

>When has a cyberpunk anything had a soundtrack that's not a wubwub shit.

Cyberpunk is 80s music and neowave, not wub wub shit:

You like shit? Wow...

Why? Women.

Look around any bookstore, goodreads, amazon, etc and there will be thousands of shitty Le Steampunke Victorian le Englande books about stronge women detectives.

Since the game industry is being overridden with effeminate men (ie, faggots with pink hair), they are into female shit like le steampunke novels. And since they're too busy eating cock they don't realize everyone in the real world isn't a cum-slurping homo.

that's a fucking nerd gun

Cyberpunk goes much beyond that, mad max is pure cyberpunk.

Yes it is, has the same stupid aesthetic and everything, they just use whale oil instead of steam, still gay as shit

It's absolutely steampunk.
>>>/kekistan/

No, Mad Max is Post Apocalypticpunk. Cyberpunk NEEDS dark rainy cities at night and neon.

uhhh no? It's WHALEPUNK, get it right

t. blue-haired she-twink

steampunk blows

That is a nerf gun spray painted

It looks steampunk, that means it's steampunk. Aka, SHIT

Is steampunk still a thing? Seems to have died out in the public eye, sure it has it's niche pocket but anything has that.

pretty sure Dieselpunk is the correct term

Shitty punk ignores why it's called that

It's supposed to be about extreme inequality between rich and poor, not gears of trenchcoats or whatever

if your criterion for a game being good or not is its realistic you have shit taste

Too bad cyberpunk does the same but better and without faggy looking clothes and weapons

>mad max is pure cyberpunk
Someone help this user

>That gun is just retarded, not necessarily steampunk.
It's a repainted Nerf gun with some gears stuck on. It couldn't be more stereotypically garbage and Steampunk if it tried.

The punks themselves are junkie retards but the music and the image associated is cool.

You literally just posted wubwub shit. The comments are fucking hilarious. They make sound so intense and shit.

mass effect could be considered cyberpunk, as watch dogs could be considered it as well and do you even fucking see where im going with this? steampunk fucking sucks but there are loads of cyberpunk type games.

It literally isn't though. It's close to diesel punk which is a separate genre.

No, Cyberpunk needs advanced technology that doesn't improve the living quality of the people.

Why can't devs just make games like Dark Cloud 2/Dark Chronicles or Steambot Chronicles

What is so fucking hard about making that kind of game.

>mass effect could be considered cyberpunk
Not really. It's cyber *punk* for a reason. It's a distinct genre within sci-fi. There would be no reason for the term to exist if you just call everything with advanced tech cyberpunk.

they don't make a lot of money

>wubwub
Everything EDM ain't wub wub. It's mostly used for songs that are Dubstep or similar to dubstep.

>volcanic repeating pistol
Underrated as fuck weapon aesthetics wise. I fucking love lever action firearms.

Mass Effect is space opera

Dieselpunk is based on WW2-era aesthetics and technology

Yeah but they all sound the same though. And who the hell would dance to what you posted honestly

>tfw cyberpunk has been turned into outrun

I want my cyberpunk back. Fuck this neo 80's synthwave neon bullshit. Give me neuromancer, give me bladerunner, give me ghost in the shell.

I miss it, chummers.

I'm a different user, user.
>Yeah but they all sound the same though
If you're talking about mainstream stuff like house or dubstep, makes sense.

I hate to bring Sup Forums here but steampunk like craft beer is a hobby that allows white people to connect to something that allows them to be themselves among each other kind of like historical reinactment

Why do you keep making these stupid fucking threads? Steampunk isn't at war with cyberpunk you colossal retard. Nobody even likes steampunk anymore. Why do you keep insisting that there's some kind of showdown?
