What a great childhood memory.
Qbert. That's one that really stuck out to me because we had it for the TI99/4A, and there was a Saturday morning cartoon of it along with PacMan and Pink Panther. Or Super Mario 3 since the media blitz around it was pretty intense, and a defining moment for gaming in the 80's. The Wizard was basically one big commercial for it (and Nintendo in general). Just about anything Nintendo, though, is pure 80's because that shit was an absolute phenomena. Sticker books, lunch boxes, cartoons, movies, breakfast cereals, cheat code books, that shit was everywhere. It says 1632, is that a year or something? No, it's your top score on Pole Position I had a Master System growing up, not an NES. It took me a while to get how brutal that joke was. Also, maybe it just because I was kid with an unrefined pallet, but those Ralston Nintendo cereals were fucking amazing. Zelda/Mario Breakfast System > Donkey Kong Jr > Donkey Kong. Batman Cereal was right up there too, but not quite as good as the Breakfast System

What do you think is the reasoning behind Capcom launching their games as sudo-live service? Just like World, Wilds came out incomplete as they release updates with content that should be there on release, but this time much worse. I don't know anyone who actually buys MTX for these games, specially on PC where a single mod or CE can unlock everything that is paywalled. And this is the least of the game's problems.

>>1328728 If you start with the old games it's seriously hard to get into the new ones. In world they decreased the speed of monsters and slowed down their attack wind ups. Perfect examples are tigrex and glavenus. World feels more like an MMO than a Monster Hunter game. You should try Tri or 3u eventually. 3rd Gen has the best Monster roaster by far.

The Death of Arena Shooters Anonymous 04/16/2025 (Wed) 01:31:26 Id: 54ddba No. 1092808 [Reply] [Last] >>1364962
Why did arena shooters die off? Now all anybody plays for fps games is cod, apex legends, valorant, or some other garbage. If you can't find enjoyment in the gameplay aspect of a game inside of multiplayer and single player that game is shit and the only reason you like it is because you like competing with other people. I can play UT99 all day against bots and have a good time yet if I did that in a game like cod shit would be so unfun it's not even funny

>>1092808 (OP) PvP in general is dead outside of very cancerous forms, and even those cancerous forms are barely functional due to how widespread cheating has become. Arena shooters in particular are dead because, like RTS and fighting games, their developers fell for the compfag memes and completely disregarded the newcomer experience, and once they didn't become gigarich from esports money they wrote off the whole genre. >>1364326 Most of the seething about CoD is second-hand autism that always had questionable accuracy: notice how nobody mentioned the controversy about MW2 killing LAN play and dedicated servers yet, or the removal of bots as an option for multiplayer (later reintroduced), or the killstreaks and the way they snowballed matches... The funniest thing is, nowadays CoD is far more about movement than shooting, but in the worst way possible since it all boils down to hitbox displacement and high angular rates messing with aim assist.
>>1364962 They're controversies because it's an impactful decision in what was an extremely popular game at its time. If CoD weren't popular and came up with these things, then no one would care in the first place because it would have basically no impact in the industry. Besides, it's their more popular and approachable game design that killed arena shooters, simple as that, none of the things you mentioned would impact the existence of arena shooters in a vacuum, CS still uses LAN at tournaments and does okay with online only for competitive, and bots have always been a huge meme in all games other than UT and Q3 in regards to bot competency. >nowadays CoD is far more about movement than shooting People saw that Titanfall 2 was well received and a decent attempt at giving depth to CoD-likes and started copying shit from there without understanding why it worked there in the first place. I physically wince every time I see a player sliding during my first impression of a new FPS. Nu-CoD is as detestable as it has ever been because it didn't fix at all the main issues that the game has when it comes to comparing it to any other decent FPS.

https://gf2exilium.sunborngame.com/ So this just came out globally recently. Is anyone playing it? Any fans of the original mobage/kusoge? This one plays a lot like XCOM, kind of. The similarities end pretty quickly when compared to XCOM but it's the best one most people will be familiar with. The visual style is 3D anime, but in my opinion, tastefully done. Not a shill by the way

The Video Game Industry is imploding Anonymous 02/29/2024 (Thu) 18:35:05 Id: 0c7012 No. 940732 [Reply] [Last]
I wanted to make a thread for this since it seems every day there's either a massive amount of industry layoffs or some publisher splitting off. Most recently Toys for Bob and Saber Interactive have split from their previous holders with rumors of Gearbox being sold off or going private after splitting off from Embracer like Saber just did. Additionally 505 have just shut down a bunch of offices in Spain, Germany, and France. Since just last holiday there have been over 15,000+ layoffs in the video games industry with a lot of companies restructuring like Embracer and Sony after deals with the Saudi's and the Chinese have basically gone sour. This is in addition to games like Spider-Man 2 (2023) costing over 300 million dollars and with the constant failures of live service games, it makes sense why the industry is experiencing a soft crash as it were. It remains to be seen what will come of the video games industry and what will rise from the ashes. I'm expecting to see more smaller publishers pop up while the current publishers will focus on making smaller games with tighter budgets. That being said no one really knows where the industry will go from here. sources: https://archive.ph/YI6OK https://archive.is/ZzK5C https://archive.ph/3z9RF

>>1363327 While true, I think your point misses the mark. The core gaming market hasn't really gotten smaller. Its in fact only gotten bigger, but it hasn't gotten bigger at the rate of new capital looking to capture market share. I would think it akin to a drug addict. Going from 0 to 20% growth is fantastic, but it is now normalized in the mind of that investor, so they are going to seek out a 0 to 50% growth instead. So on and so forth and we're at the point where there aren't enough gamers to cover all of those goals by a large measure. Its not that there are 2 or 3 dominant games in each genre with others floundering. Its 2 or 3 and the rest are canceled because sticking with them long term will never give them that spike in growth high that they've been modeling out for success.

>>1248465 I'm working on getting a book published and I can tell you the literary world is a shithole. You have kike publishers who work with kike literary agents who specifically want commercial books that appeal to either college-aged liberal girls or 40 year old wine moms who want sex-driven novels. The market is completely driven by that and there aren't any notable authors alive that even come close to what was present just over 100 years ago. At the same time when Edgar Allen Poe was alive, you had Dostoevsky/Chekhov/Tolstoy in Russia, you had Frankenstein, Dracula, and other novels being written in Britain. So many giants alive and actively working, yet the current market focuses on the lowest form of shit because people just actively eat it. Due to this, I'm willing to bet many artists just give up or their work is just sitting somewhere, rotting away because hardly anyone wants to risk their money by giving them the spotlight. The entire entertainment industry as a whole can be summed up as this: You and I suffer the garbage they put out because millions of dumb goyim will eat whatever the rabbis at the top shit out. Art, culture, spirituality - all of this and more have become stagnant. Our civilization is at its death throes, something worse or greater will be born out of these troubles. I pray it is the latter, but I fear the former is being chosen. We are unfortunately tied to the fates of the very people who are ignorantly making this world more reminiscent of hell.

DARKITY DARK DARKNESS Some thread questions >Favorite entry? >Favorite Heartless? >Favorite Keyblade? >Favorite character? >Favorite world? We're now in one of the longest gaps between mainline KH games. If KH4 comes out next year, they'll tie the the seven-year gap between Dream Drop Distance to Kingdom Hearts III. I miss major games being a regular occurrence, we've been almost exclusively getting flash and mobileshit for a decade plus now and it does not help the last major entry was a huge disappointment. On that note, is there any way to even play KHX and its spinoffs anymore? I have no idea if there's a preserved version archivists host, or if they were worth playing to begin with.
