gaming is in a weird place

[MeachTheMonster]

You serious?

Yes.

Y’all delude yourselves into thinking they are something more but without the characters/presentation those games are shallow as fukk. Nobody is gonna be revisiting GOW and Spider-Man to master the intricacies of gameplay.

No crash as long as Nintendo is around to capture the affordable and different market segment that just focuses on fun and simple gameplay

These bro need fests like call of duty fortnite etc will probably see a dip though and hopefully we cycle back to original experiences

Nothing about Nintendo games is “original”.

They been making the same games for 30 years

Nintendo still tries to innovate within their games whether it's motion controls 3d combining a handheld with full console experience

They aren't the typical bro nerd fest obsessed with shooters and how realistic a blade of grass looks

That’s hardware, and none of that is even “original”

Nintendo shoots for hardware gimmicks to sell the same damn games. You know they are gimmicks cause all the games they drop get released on mutiple “generations” worth of hardware “innovations”

They aren't the typical bro nerd fest obsessed with shooters and how realistic a blade of grass looks

True, but that doesn’t automatically make their games innovative or original.

The way games like NBA2K gouging you for a good time spells to end of gaming for me.

There's an expectation to drop $100 for every game.



I'll never understand the "they hating because it's cool" logic.

Fallout 76 was a bad idea since jump--for example.

These companies are making their games worst to incentivize micro-transactions.

What's the big mystery as to why people get turnt? Granted, they go overboard.

I don't understand how microtransactions hurt any games. You have the option to buy shyt or play the game.. Ain't that hard... I have over 60k stock in EA/Activision.. It's funny how these YouTube people who probably don't play games post a new video about microtransactions daily. YouTube is everything wrong with games. A glitch? On YouTube, money plays on YouTube, fastest time to kill on YouTube.. YouTube ruined games more than anything.

Much of these microtransactions and loot boxes are pretty much legalized gambling in games. If you aren't the type of person that becomes addicted to shyt like gambling it might go over your head but this stuff exist in these games to target the minority who become addicted to it and spend excessive amounts of money on it. Why do we need gambling style mechanics inserted into games that have nothing to do with gambling?

People pay $60 for these games and then they're bombarded with microtransactions on top of it. The games are designed to make the gameplay a chore to encourage you to buy shortcuts. Normal task are made tedious so you can go online and pay to skip the excessive grinding required to get them.

These things hurt our games.

Different style games appeal to different people.

Except they haven't. Maybe games in the same franchises but not games that play the same.

It's funny to watch you preach about gameplay then try to downplay a company that's all about gameplay.

Microtransactions help games more than hurt them.. You wouldn't understand until you run into RMT in game.. RMT = Real Money Traders.

G2G Games Marketplace | Gaming Virtual Goods Marketplace & Trading Platform

RMT actually block you from your in game goals. Want to win in Destiny trials? Blocked by people doing RMT for $80.. Want gold in Mmo? Blocked by RMT.. microtransactions are good for people that actually work and don't have time like everyone else..

Gambling? I think companies should just sell virtual currency and let people buy whatever they want with it. No randoms..

I didn’t “downplay” anything.

I said the shyt wasn’t “original” or “innovative” they play to their fans just like everybody else.

Okay, pay us $10 to give you a experience point boost.

What makes sense: the boost will help you get by faster in a game that experience points are hard to earn, therefor making the game slower to advance.

What doesn't make sense: the experience boost is only for people who "don't have time to play video games" and there's no reason to by the boost under normal circumstances.

The number reason I'll never pay full price, again, for a 2K game is that it is impossible to make any type of progress without VC. And you have to use VC to get EVERY THING.

I don't understand how YouTube killed gaming, tho....

If Nintendo isn't innovative who is? Can you list examples of companies more innovative in gaming than Nintendo? Most of our modern games are derivative of Nintendo innovation like the analog stick and yeah many of their innovative ideas came with hardware that changed the way people interact with software like the analog stick did.

If you play the game, you will get VC... I understand it takes time but the NBA season is October til April. That's about how long it should take you to hit 99... If they made VC easy to get everyone would be 99 the first month so what's the point of having 99s..
