Why do you people take enjoyment out of seeing games fail?

they just fucking hate this world

I want the video game industry to die and then rise up out of the ashes like a phoenix and be better than ever. You can't be reborn without dying first.

all the games that fail deserved it

Todd pls

I like to think not many people actually have this mentality.

Shitposting aside, this is a board dedicated to talking about videogames. I think most people here would love it if great games came out that they could enjoy and talk about. However it keeps ending up that shit after shit is being produced, with very few actual worthwhile gems in the avalanche of shit. The two options you're faced with after seeing an unending stream of garbage games coming your way is either despair, or refuge in cynicism. Since you're going to have to deal with shit games all around you with idiots clamoring about how 'great' they really are, you may as well get what enjoyment you can from tearing into the game, the fanbase and whatever else you can reach explaining why they are all cunts and awful. And if you do that enough, eventually it becomes enjoyable in its own right.

Or, more commonly, the game is bad and sets a dangerous trend or theme that you really, REALLY don't want to see repeated. So when it fails, you celebrate, because the only thing faceless corporations understand is profit margins, and if "Game with X" in it fails, you hopefully won't see "X" in any other games for a long while.

I only laughed at Battleborn because fuck Gearbox.

W101 deserved it?

Usually it's because the company behind it has some shitty business practices that are pretty anti-consumer.

Currentlt playing that and the controls are fucking atrocious, I don't like dying to qte's just cause the Wiiu pad can't recognise my circle or my line wasn't straight enough

Schadenfreude. Easy question, next.

When the industry abandons you as a demographic, and instead targets a new demographic of people who don't even play videogames it becomes a problem. When all they do is make shallow, nerfed, downgraded, ((((streamlined)))), and any other buzzword for casualization and the rampant oversimplification of games for ease of access for maximum shekel. you tend to become bitter as a result.

This is especially true when companies Nintendo, Capcom, Sega, Squarenix, Konami, Bethesda, and many others, with IP's you grew up with let them go dead because their low effort IP's that they recycle for easy money from idiots with no standard to keep games to keep buying the low quality sterile and shallow games they put out.

It's made more painful, When you know they have the creative ability to do something with them. And instead of doing something with that creative ability, they churn out yet another copypaste adventure with no quality, replayability or depth, or even go so far as to outsource their IP's to a third party because they're scared of their own properties (see Nintendo and Konami here). It's disgusting, and if you don't see a problem with this, you're PART of the problem because you have no standards, and no sense of quality in gaming.

>To keep games good

Thank you brain. Missed that bit.

I'm only enjoying MvCI failing because Capcom deserved it for being cheap.

yes, it did

It's usually politically motivated in this shit hole
Lawbreakers had gender-neutral bathrooms and that black woman they keep ironically spamming in the threads
Battleborn because Randy sang an anti-goobergate song.
Any western game is now dragged into the west/east culture war

I only like it when big budget western games flop

Lawbreakers and Battleborn were just shit games.

Because plenty of people like hating things more than they actually like liking things.

General unhappiness with life, lack of education, lack of independence, sexual frustration, financial struggle, etc etc. Anonymously hating things/people and pretending to just not give a fuck is the easiest, most cathartic thing young people in that situation can do. Sort of like how desperately poor people smoke/drink themselves to death fully aware of how destructive it is. What the fuck else are they going to do?

I just went into the lawbreakers thread and it took 4 posts before someone brought up race. theyre all like this

Because I consider the absolute vast majority of modern games to be irredeemable shit so seeing them fail is cathartic.
