Do you miss when videogames were you know, videogames?
i guess it was simpler. now everything has to be called something weird like souldbornelike or mascotkiller like
>>750587342Anon, are you receiving? We're still here.
>>750587342Is the new Castlevania from 2 weeks ago too complex to be a video game? Or is it not good enough to be considered a video game?
>>750587342We need backstory and cutscenes for that giant bullet bill though, and Mario needs to be a better man
Always were if you had good taste
what are they now
>>750587342>Do you miss the present?No, I don't have dementia.
>>750587528That's impossible! My mom sold you at a garage sale when I went away for college!
>>750587342fun technical fact: the snes has 4-bit palettes for objects (what are used to draw sprites like mario), but smw uses graphics with only 3-bits for objects, programmatically padding the graphics with a 4th bit when they are loaded.
>>750587342if video games arent video games then video games are still video games
>>750587528ah yes, this is when video games started to stop being video games.
>>750587820I've heard this story so many fucking times. It also happened to me. Fucking parents man...
>>750587820My parents gave my games away at a church event.
>>750587551Yeah, kind of.But I just started watching a longplay and here's what I see after 5 minutes:- Bland, generic zombie enemies that look like Unity slop imitation of Dark Souls Hollows. Doesn't feel anything like Castlevania.- Stupid over-the-top ADHD screen shake nonsense even for basic attacks.- Female protagonist with 6/10 looks- Story through cringe voice-acted monologues (Though to be fair on this one, Castlevania has had cringe cutscenes for a long time and SOTN had voice acting)- Repetitive music with no character
>>750588414And when did they stop stopping being video games?
>>750590817mgs2
>>750591268MGS2 had good gameplay though and was a good videogame overall.
>>750587342videogaymes were never good
>>750587528>he fell for the PVM meme...
>>750592407all 4 hours where you actually get to control a character were pretty fun, yeah.
>>750592550Lol!
>>750590663Still a video game-ass video game, even if it’s not particularly to my taste nor yours. I never notice screen shake.
>>750588414don't you dare blame mgs for the rise of sony movie games!
>>750592550Some guy had it locally and sold it to me for $300, not sure if that's a decent deal or not but I don't really mind if I got ripped off a little bit I knew they are hard to find and his was in really good condition. He said he used it for 3D modeling in the 90's which doesn't really check out since it's the hospital variant. Oh well, I'm happy with it, only thing that sucks is that the PS2 plays DVDs in green filter on it and I haven't really looked into a fix yet.
>>750593262how about xenogears then?
>>750593630never played it so i can't comment.
>>750587342>It doesn't feel like something that exists but because it doesn't exist, means that it does exist.
>>750587342Bought this w the bundle upon release for my kid's Switch 2 because I was excited for Leon's return, and holy fucking shit half of it is cut scenes! Then sneaking around with this scared bitch afraid of her shadow. RE 4 was the perfect blend, why'd modern gaming go so far in the other direction? Yeah, I'm old but god damn. This what the kids are into??I didn't even play through it I was so miffed, and still have Village & 7 to even check out. Are they like this too??
>>750593493i recently saw a video of a guy buying a gun game and it wouldn't work on his lcd lol.
>>750587342for a second i thought that might've been loss
>>750587342I miss the time when you didn't post here.
>>750593123>I never notice screen shake.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3NuImErog8>Still a video game-ass video game,Yeah that's why I vaguely agreed with you.But it's low-tier indie stuff. OP isn't exactly making an thorough, articulate argument but given that there's a sea of infinite slop available for every platform, it's reasonable to assume there are some standards active. Super Mario World was a GOTY contender in comparison.
>>750587342No.
