Vidya Fads That Need to Die
| I'd list problems with Mobile games too but imo the entire market needs to crash and be reborn instead.
| Paid dlc that isn't worth buying
| >>162531 If the whole mobile market crashes, is not going to be because oversaturation like the '83 crash.
The mobile market is already saturated with trash, free recycled trash that is easy to make and kids that don't know any better will download. There is also the whole Freemium issue and many more.
| I like your list. Except for art games, many of which are legitimately quality products with something interesting to say. Not all of the though.
| >>162586 Video games and art are always a hard subject to talk about. Most people say they consider them art but some don't have an actual explanation of why they think that.
The narrative art is the hardest of all, because it's the one that differs more of how a book works.
| >>162586 >>162612 Games should always polish things like visuals, music and narrative, thus becoming art.
As for games with messages, I think is all in how you say the message. A bad presentation will make the message look too out of place, put together hastily and without actual thought.
| Crafting and inventory management where you have a ton of crap or limited space.
| Why achievements though? I know some people hate them, but some people are hardcore achievement hunters. It's not like it's annoying people anyway, unlike some other things on that list.
| Wouldn't call it a fad per se but it's 2018, I can understand it from games 20 years ago but PLEASE can unskippable cutscenes just go the fuck away already? Like, a dev member needs to go to jail every time a cutscene is unskippable at this point.
| Free to play can be done right, a few great examples would be Warframe or Guild Wars Two now that it's gone f2p.
| shitty, entitled gamers. that's the trend that most needs killing
| >>162530
At least art games doesn't try to take your monney out of your wallet.
"Censoring games on Steam despite being well aware that the game is pornographic in nature."? Why not simply stop the hypocrisy surrounding hgames? Some of them are fucking awesome and just because of porn they will never have the success they deserve, it's really tragic when you see a good developer doing this because you know he will never have what he deserve.
| Let it all burn in the never ending pit of despair we call the recycling bin
| Uhh why no open world games?
| >>162988 because if open world is not done right, it is shitty. The world/map will feel barren. Even if it is filled with quests a lot of them will be repeat and given by uninteresting NPC.
The game becomes grindy and the story will suffer because the dev are too busy adding unnecessary stuff to make it open world.
Not to mention a lot more bugs will appear, the game will also requires more processing power (and if not handles well, will have a shitty framerate)
| >>163306
Basically, vanilla Skyrim with absolutely zero mods.
The grand majority of my mod list consists of Immersion and performance patches, all to make the game not only *feel* alive, but to also make it run at an acceptable framerate.
I feel like Open World is just one of those things that is said as a buzzword and has less to do with making a game feel like it's Open in a massive World.
| >>162764
Fair enough. I was mostly just irritated with some (admittedly, rare, but enough of them to show up every so often) people literally hating a game and not enjoying it based solely on the existence or non existence of achievements.
To me, that's like the antithesis of video gaming itself. Gaming to enjoy ourselves, not to get some arbitrary bunch of points to make ourselves feel better.
I mean, I guess that's not too different from score attacks, but still. Meh.
| David Cage games. He's a hack and I wish more people would realize this.
| >>162530 you know most of those pornographic vns release all ages versions anyways, right? It's not all on steam lmao
| Professional gaming needs to die in a fire.
| Developers who listen to the wrong demographic.
Thin skinned people who can't handle a little bantz.
I'd be happy with just those.
| What is "hero shooter" ?
| >>863218 I've only ever heard bad things about David Cage games. Maybe it's a matter of the parts of the internet I tend to visit, but as far as I can tell, general consensus is that he's a hack.
| >vidya fads that need to die
The amount of compatible vidya gaems somehow being an indicator whether or not an OS is worthwhile.
| I think we need to implement cross server again for games like MH or PSO. Either that or someone bring back couch co-op. Tired of having to buy the same game for different systems to play with different friends.
| Crafting systems. Yeah sure let's pretend your game has depth becaus in order to unlock anything I need to hunt down fifty nuggets of unobtanium and a used scrunchie.
