We also play jrpgs and japanese action games thank you very much.
Senran Kagura?
Based Black person. Would defeat with a zoner character, then a grappler, because I like characters with gimmicks.
why come your black
You’ve never played a video game
Millennials that grew up with Kojima games
WAooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhh
Where have you been the last 15 years? Movie games is an entire genre with its own mass followers
Forget that, who the FRICK was the God of War game for? I played ALL the games and 100% even the not so great ones. I wanna beat the shit out of things, not watch cutscenes for 45 minutes or walk slowly to the next area while my I have to hold my son up to pull a lever. Mother fricker Kratos would just jump that shit or stick his weapon in to the wall and force himself up it. WHO was this for? WHY?
I made them give God of War a good story, it was me who wanted this
Audience aside, how is one unable to watch movies or do anything for leisure if they can't spend at least an hour to do it? Hell, how can anyone in that situation even be productive if they can't escape the work of a paycheck to paycheck job and no time for anything else? Sounds like a rough that needs to be sorted out.
I mean, there's a difference between wanting to watch a movie when you know the only you'll do is sit down and see the screen, and watching a long ass cutscene when you want to beat the frick out of some skeletons
you watch it with friends
>I always wondered who is the target audience for these over the shoulder action adventure games where you walk slowly while listening to exposition
Gaming journalists who doesn't play videogames.
It's the video game equivalent to Oscar bait. Journos eat that shit up because they don't have to play it like they have to play every other video game they review. It's like a paid holiday for them. Kick back, watch the spectacle, relate to the dad main character (who is conveniently a beloved character from their youth, who grew up with them), give it a 10. Easiest review of the year.
It's the vidya equivalent of dadcore
Man go frick yourself. My dad has excellent taste in vidya.
Pretty much, yeah. It's for guys whose wives or gfs want to partake in their hobby with them but might not like playing games that much. Women like watching movie games, that's the entire point of that Girlfriend Reviews channel that blew up.
PS5 owners who have literally no other choices
It's still the adults who grew up in the 80s and 90s so when video game narrative was allowed to fully evolve to what it is not, they loved it and never stopped loving it. They're the ones single-handedly driving the AAA game industry because nobody else gives two shits about AAA games.
my childless normalgay 30 year old friends who repeatedly buy into marketing.
one of them has never played a CRPG, bought BG3, and played it for something like 6 hours with his online friends before never touching it again. sometimes he buys me FotM bullshit like valheim when i refuse to pay money for early access scams
BG3 has coop?
Yes, the schizo shitposting about a single player game having spoofed player numbers when it's literally a simulated campaign is just moronic
>teens only play whatever their youtube essayist shills
These are games that are shilled, the amount of gow essays youtube has recommended me is staggering.
>adult gamers don't have time to waste on 40+ minute cutscenes
why not?
Because everyone has ADHD now
His reviews were amazing. Someone who doesn't know a thing about games critiquing them better than any """journalist""" in the last 20 years.
>I always wondered who is the target audience for these over the shoulder action adventure games where you walk slowly while listening to exposition
Women. They make up the overwhelming majority of consumers of all media.
>>kids nowadays only play free to play multiplayer garbage
hahah
hahahahaha
the right answer is normalgays which inbetween their fifa and apex sessions want to play a "serious game" and boot up either sony moviegames or asscreeds/ubislop cause that's what they like (are marketed to)
journos are just the fuel to the normie market's fire
"games journalists"
no gameplay = 10/10 review
redditors who want to flex their gamercred. Not kidding
These people want to watch television shows but keep playing video games by force of habit, many such cases
>fun is a gimmick
This person and the millions of other people like him are the reason why we get movie game garbage.
He's not entirely wrong. Stalker is (inb4 nu-Ganker contrarians) beloved on this board but a lot what makes it good isn't fun. It's the setting, the atmosphere, the janky shit moron slav gameplay that somehow makes the whole thing more believable than if it were slick and polished. Relying on fun alone like an arcade game gets boring really fast
fun is just the release of dopamine, which contrary to popular opinion isn't the "reward" hormone but the "journey to a reward" hormone
You'll actually be happier when you lost e.g: your keys and later found them than when you never lost them in the first place
That's why games like Stalker are still fun
The things he's saying aren't even entirely wrong in concept, it's just that his taste happens to also be dogshit.
me 🙂
i love slop 🙂
they're for people who desperately want to look mature but are too brainlet for actual mature media
its for people to play latest thing™ for 2 hours and pretend they played through the whole game then go to next latest thing™
its why the sales of these games tank massively after the first couple weeks and they have no lasting power, the only way to stay in the public's mind slightly longer is for them to constantly remaster the game (see last of us's 49837498 remasters)
It's normies who think The Walking Dead is the greatest piece of fiction ever put on screen
>adult gamers don't have time to waste on 40+ minute cutscenes
Wrong, the normalgay adults are the ones that love this shit. If you ever pay attention to any argument about game difficulty, the people that come out of the woodworks against games being hard are morons complaining about how they don't want to get home from work and then have to actually try while playing the game and they just want to enjoy the story.
>adult gamers don't have time to waste on 40+ minute cutscenes
this is were you're wrong homosexual. adult gaymers are the target audiences of these trash. Here let me fix the statement so you can understand better
>adult gamers don't have time to waste on 40+ gameplay where they have to actively put the minimum effort for their entertainment
millennial npcs who buy whatever is currently being advertised
College students with disposable income
morons who just watch everything because they don't have the willpower to actively engage.

Behold.
Anon 96% of games sold on Steam have never been booted up. Not once. NEVER activated. People just buy shit for the sake of buying it because they are told to.
The truth of the matter is that everyone will grow to accept this in time. Look at how JRPG fans will gladly lap up games with 50 hours of cutscenes, and their justification is "w-well there's alot of gameplay too!". I'm sorry, but eating fecal matter doesn't become enticing, no matter how much good food you offer afterward. If anything, that kind of deflection just cements that they're glad to consume mediocrity as long as there's a half-assed attempt at compromise.
You can see this too with specific action games that have tons of QTEs and cinematic moments, like the God of War series. AND I MEAN THE WHOLE SERIES, not just the PS4 and PS5 games. The whole series has been objectively bad since day 1, and yet now people look back fondly on the original QTE button mashers because the modern games are even worse. It's almost shocking how easily the overton window shifted. Back in the day people used to mock GOW for being bland and mindless, and now people unironically look back fondly.
Watch, in the future we'll have genuine shills looking back on the ps4 and talking about how TLOU2 was a masterpiece, and how TLOU 6 doesn't live up to it. All because people have zero standards, and will gladly lap up feces from the ass of any developer of their choosing. Perhaps it's mindless fanboyism, maybe it's just lowered standards across the board. It's a grim future regardless.
The overton window continues to shift because most people seem to have a working memory of about 3 months and everything past that might as well have never happened at all.
>complains about cutscenes in JRPG
>types up a post with more text than most JRPGs have
i ain't reading that shit.
I don't recall charging you 60 bucks to read my post, nor do I recall Ganker posts being renowned for their interactivity. Your analogy is confused.
see, there you go. You CAN make your point concisely. keep it up little buddy.
I'll make my point even more concise for you.
Well at lest you get to stare at anime tittes in this
Target audience is the same people who cry about woke shit but refuses to consume anything but californian slop
You just summed up the entire grift of anti-sjw/ anti-woke types.
Go to Twitter/X and witness it yourself. There are THOUSANDS of people ready to die at the sword for these types of products. RPGs are the same shit, btw.
Their main demographic is teenagers who like movies and love wasting time. I used to be a huge FF fan in the 90's, and I loved "games" like TLoU and Uncharted 2 as a young adult.
Nah dude, we're too old for this shit. I ain't playing a 90 hour game about the fricking power of friendship. It's a waste of time.
Late 20's to 30 somethings that have kids/pets and get maybe 8 hours of gaming a week from the wifey if they have enough good boy points
it's not some great mystery, the average person who enjoyed soul reaver in 1999 would probably enjoy god of dad. it's multimedia entertainment, as much as Ganker hates it there's iron clad rule normies should sneer at it.
Journalists. It worked with the last of us because is was a thriller. Putting it in GoW and even Ratchet and Clank feels fricking stupid.
gamers don't have time to waste on 40+ minute cutscenes
some of them don't have time to waste yet waste it anyway because they like DA CINEMATIC GAME, i know because my 38 year old friend is like this and I want to kill him
A lot of those walking sections are hiding loading screens.
People who don't play games but watch someone else play them
This thing was amazing, they just ripped nuGoW apart.
Playing God of War ps4 and it’s actually really balanced in the combat, has solid exploration and great visuals.
Nothing has really bothered me yet, I just finished the part with the dark elves.
I like all sorts of games, beat Strider on the arcade the other day too for example and beat Viewtiful Joe earlier.
Persona 5 and even stuff like Tales of Rebirth have the same amount or padding if not more and those games are still amazing.
It gets even better once you get the blades of chaos
What’s this? We’re getting reports of normal, reasonable, temperate opinions on Ganker
It's boring and you fight about four enemy types really. There isn't anything to find, there's a LOT more Uncharted climbing than there should be, and it tells a story with no merit or surprise.
It felt stale before the game was over, and what's sad is that every Sony game will be like this moving forward. Wolverine will be this and bamham in a blender.
yeah nu gow was alright, I liked it
ragnarok is legitimately marvel though which is sad
No one can define what “Marvel” means
oh please thanos memes etc etc everyone knows there's even a fricking endgame 1:1 scene in the game
I felt thoroughly unimpressed with that game.
If you're writing that after "finishing the part with the dark elves", get ready, because you're in for a disappointment
The game is "go here, go there, go BACK, go here, go there, go BACK" you revisit each "main" location twice for no good goddamn reason, not even the blades make for fun gameplay. It's boring and smug, but I understand everyone has different tastes and I hope you enjoy yourself. I didn't.
GoW is great and I platinum'd it twice and 100%'d once. Haven't touched Ragnarok since beating it at launch though. Busy year for me.
God of War is probably the least bad out of the Sony formula games but it's still let down by the arbitrary AAA checklist it adheres to like the skill tree upgrade bullshit
Maybe he has ADHD
Imagine if it was a jrpg, they'd have to sit through an entire animeslop season
At least with JRPG, you know what you are getting but nu-god of war was sold as ACTION adventure not muh feelings game.
Why do you think Square Enix is going through hard time these days?
Why are cutscenes okay when Japan does it though?
In Japanese games you can usually just skip it, in certain Western games you have to walk slowly as a character tells you their life story in game, it's not really a cutscene so you have to go through it, every time.
>paying $60 just to skip content
You do you
That's not the point, I want the OPTION to skip a cutscene, I don't want it integrated into the game, I don't want to walk slowly for 15 minutes while the cutscene/dialogue plays in-game.
I might endure it the very first time I play a game, and if I care about the story, but if I only care about the gameplay, or if I am on a second playthrough, I just want to skip the cutscene.
It's like that awful bit in nuGoW with the wounded magic boar, that whole bit could have been a cutscene.
The new God of War games let you skip cutscenes
even the walking and qte segments?
why even reply to obviously disingenuous posts?
I give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe they're just ignorant.
what makes you think its okay when japan does it? japanese games have fallen harder than western ones because japan tried to copy them and gave up any sense of what made their games japanese in the first place. all cinematic shit is garbage
It's not and Jrpgs are cancer
not vidya but how come Conan O'Brian is the only late night talk show host that is actually likeable and funny?
He's not a israelite
Of course he's fricking israeli. His mother Ruth is a heeb.
Because he can handle being the butt of a joke, he also wrote some golden age Simpsons stuff so he is an actual comedic writer.
In my experience Irish red heads are the funniest and smartest people for some reason.
Because he was a comedy writer for SNL and the simpsons back when that meant something.
But back in the day I was a letterman fan.
He was a comedy writer first and foremost.
A lot of games you like have this element as well. Don't pretend none of them do.
Such as?
Your favorite game
Ackshually, Dragon's Dogma does not have this problem.
Yes it does
Where and when?
I know, but I don’t have to tell you
Holy shit AAA gaming absolutely DEMOLISHED
Clueless Gamer was the only good "gaming review show".
the smash 4 one was golden
>gain exclusive access to one of the most hyped game of the year
>from a very secretive and strict company nonetheless
>just keeps shittalking gamer culture in front of his colleagues and nintendo employees
extremely based moment
>sees zero suit samus
>wants to frick her
I'm thinking based.
why did they design this kid to have the most punchable, hateable, aggravating face ever seen on a top of a human neck
anyone else hates looking at this character
Yeah, I hate the entire nu-GoW characters, looking at Kratos makes me sick.
Like everything else it's to shit on kratos.
tbh i dont mind the premise of kratos being a killer with a conscience and feeling guilty over but this shit is fricking cringe
Synthetic Man was unable to name how the new games shit on Kratos, and so are you
They made kratos all WAAAH I FEEL BAD ABOUT KILLING BUT I KEEP ON DOING IT and gave him an obnoxious little homosexual who keeps making that stupid homosexual face every time kratos comes home
They could've gone kenshin rurouni route but that's too much for those hacks I guess
How the frick was she able to grow his chin and jaw out like that from the recessed piece of shit he had before?
everone hates looking at faux hawks in general
@661431260
You're really desperate for (you)s aren't you? It's a bit sad.
Clueless Gamer went to shit when they started inviting celebreties, it should be just him and aaron
Conan and Elijah Wood shitting together on FF is good but I agree with you
Man, these videos were great when it was just him and that other guy instead of all the celebs.
He went back to making vids like that, he did one for Starfield, it was decently funny.
Rich Evans' take on third person shooters is also still true.
What did he say?
To paraphrase, that it's the genre used by developers who failed to get into movies and have zero interest in making video games. Write story first, then ehh frick it, throw some cover to crouch behind and some guys to shoot, and there you go, gameplay design done.
Rich Evans also thought Kenobi was a good show
This is what the majority wants. They want to watch a movie.
god forbid a game has an interesting story
What game are you talking about? I think you posted this in the wrong thread.
looking forward to seeing these comments in the next xenoblade thread
only played xeno 1 and around 95% of the game for me was spent doing npc quests and exploring the overworld, not in cutscenes or scripted sequences
God forbid a game have an interesting story and actual fricking gameplay on top of it.
>BOX PUZZLES
Pic unrelated, right?
Oh wait... Wrong game... I'm moronic...
>shitposts about OP game having a good story
>it's god of war
the anon with no taste
dragon's dogma has an interesting story and there's barely any dialogue or cutscenes bogging down the experience
what dialogue and cutscenes there are are all quite short
the best games tell their story through gameplay (and no i dont mean a million scripted shit where you walk forward slowly as the story happens on screen)
We've had interesting stories in games, we don't need them in shitty formats that fail to do anything engaging or involved
I miss the days when gaming meant clicking very often and only after an arduous session of playing the campaign all the way to the end, you would get MAYBE a 30 second cinematic as the ending scene.
Lel
How does he keep doing it?
To add, what's even funnier he did this with the FFXV devs right outside the room waiting for his response.
Snoybros our response? We must say something!
