What killed video games Sup Forums?

this is a pretty crappy thread, I propose that all posts after this, are birds

Nothing killed it, you just modeled your life around spending too much time getting angry at games you hate. Every generation of games has a pile of garbage, my childhood would have been terrible if I focused on the games I hated instead of playing the ones I loved over and over.

You're not living life correctly OP.

...

Why, because it's true? It's no secret older games are better than the new shit releasing now. Modern games are garbage and it's only going to get worse.

>Microtransactions
>Shoving multi-player on every fucking game
>bad pixel art/retro games made by lazy fucks
>zombies, enough with the goddamn zombies
>kickstarter

who are all these gentlemen?

CASUALS

What does Jonah Hill have to do with videogames

Short answer?

It all started with a DLC.

AAA developers. Their greed and killing off mid size devs has spelled disaster for creativity. That's why everything is so samey and awful right now. Potentially good ideas will never see the proper funding and development they deserve. The market will continue to stagnate.

I honestly think the answer is simply "EA"
Activision contributed too, but nowhere near as much.

Get off Sup Forums and enjoy things you like, you might even have fun

But now there’s only the garbage left, ss every single game released after 2007 has been 100% pure shit that only casual shit-eaters can enjoy. Vidya has been dead for a decade and will never recover.

Mass appeal. You can't really pin it on a particular game or company, just the progression of the medium.
>FFVII and Half Life meant games should have a cinematic story
>GTAIII meant games should be open world
>Halo and CoD meant games should have both singleplayer and online multiplayer
>God of War and RE4 meant games should have QTEs
>Oblivion and CoD meant games should have DLC
>TF2 and DOTA meant games should have microtransactions
Even then these aren't definitive. You could assign Quake for multiplayer popularity for instance.

/vg/ and discord killed Sup Forumsideo games*

Western games and western game journalism went to shit after her

...

The internet
I'm not even joking
Fite me.

wh*Tes really do ruin everything

...

...

Slow downward spiral since gen 7 where huge budgets forced out any kind of innovative thinking in setting, themes or gameplay--with some exceptions.

Gee, I wonder.

I'm glad we can all agree on this. How did we go from this...to THIS? JUST. Hold me, Sup Forumsros. How do we fix this? No way, fag. Redpill me on X. What was his endgame? Was it kino? What am I in for? What are some games that let me do this? Name 1 (ONE) game that does this. What went wrong? Why is this allowed? Will this save the gaming industry? BLUNDER OF THE CENTURY. Can we get one of these threads going? LOL. Keep it vidya. Really makes you think. JUST. WE. So this...is the power...of X...woah. I just played X, what did I think of it? *BRAAAP*.

>this is your ___ for tonight
>this is ____ say something nice to them
>WHIRRRRRRRRRRRR

Casuals killed the industry.

But games were already dead for you because you got old.

I think you're just choosing to ignore good games so you have something to complain about online.

...

What good games? There has been nothing but shit since 2007, casualized garbage for mouthbreathing normalfags.

soyboys do

>birds aren’t related to dinosau-

Almost every word in your post was a buzz word, something you've been reading on Sup Forums for the past few years. Maybe you're getting old, or are so young that the opinions of older, jaded fatasses convinces you that's nothing good. Regardless, you have nostalgia goggles on and if anything isn't like those old retro games you love so much you hate it. Quality of life does not mean casualization, and although I'll use that buzzword for a lot of games, there's a lot post 2007 that aren't like that. Again, you're fucking retarded. I think is better for you, buddy. Sup Forums is for people who still enjoy games and aren't so tunnel-visioned.

...

The focus on quantity and the compete disregard of quality in games.

Growing up

nigger duck.

WANNA FLUSH IT AGAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIN

Funnily in the late 80s and early 90s most game devs focused on quantity instead of quality.. but you'll only focus on the good games of those series and ignore the 40 million bad spin offs and sequels because that goes against what you're trying to prove.

WE WUZ DINOSAURS AND SHIEET!

...

Decay is a integral element of this universe.

That’s just a faggy little grouse though.

If you want a dinosaur.....

...

Normies becoming a big, if not major part of gaming. Companies trying to appeal to this casual demographic, and normies being FUCKING RETARDED enough to drink the DLC/early access/kike practices without questioning.

Weeaboos. They're like CoD kiddies but purchase fifty games a year, think VNs and whyfoo faggotry constitutes as gameplay, and also support more vapid, cancerous business practices like mobile shit loaded with microtransactions, and overpriced bikini DLC.

I think the only reason there wasn't a lot of "kike practices" back in the day were because we didn't have the technology to do it. Early access and easily obtained dlc wasn't around at that time.

...

...

Christ even think back to 2007, for patches you had to go to shitty file hosting sites, wait in queue, download at a snail's pace, and hope you didn't miss 2+ updates because you had to get each individual file most of the time.
