>overhype a game for weeks
>obsess over it and force it on people while it's still fresh and "viral"
>abandon it once it's no longer hot, being like "urrrgghh its a singleplayer game, what do you want? People played it and moved on, that's it"
No. I'm tired. I'm sick and tired of this stupid fricking argument.
The past decades of gaming had LOADS of singleplayer games, games that even though were singleplayer had an actual IMPACT. They sticked in people's memories, they caused excited long-lasting discussions and fanbases, they gave people hunger for more. Games used to spawn copycats, inspirations, new genres, tributes, spiritual successors... games used to be considered iconic and be remembered for fricking YEARS despite being singleplayer titles. Deus Ex, Thief, Doom, Quake, Command and Conquer, StarCraft, Diablo, Legend of Zelda, Resident Evil, Dead Space, Silent Hill, Hotline Miami... the list is gigantic.
The fact is, if a game is singleplayer, it doesn't mean that it's something that you play once and move on from it forever. If a game is great it STICKS with you, you want to come back to it, it attracts people who want to do the same and replicate its success. But every single fricking game that got astroturfed on this website for the past months has been the same shit - getting overhyped, a period of "excitement", then silence. Because "its a singleplayer game". No dumbass, because 98% of the games coming out recently is bland, unimaginative, forgettable trash that does nothing special and doesn't change the industry in any way. Stagnation.
The last fricking game I can think of that had ANY impact on the gaming scene and had some legacy was fricking Breath of The Wild. And then it's fricking sequel shares the same fate where it does NOTHING special, changes nothing and gets forgotten. What a fricking joke. Gaming is collapsing.

Sincere question, why can't autists move on?
>ruins your hobbies
>"um, like yikes dude... why can't you just move on and stuff?"
No gay, it's a genuine fact. You morons keep doing it - you keep overhyping games and calling them "10/10 perfect revolutionary gamechanging masterpieces" and then each and every single one just dies with the impact of a soft fart. If a game is ACTUALLY a 10/10 masterpiece, it STICKS with you and has an actual impact. But apparently every single one of these perfect 10/10 GOTD titles is also one that you just play once and move on completely because of being that uninteresting. Curious.
Why did you respond to me while responding to nothing I said?
tl;dr
Just consoom product then get excited for next product
>LOL hey, so I've been playing Baldur's Ga-
SHUT UP. Just shut. The frick. Up. Holy FRICK this is a board of brainwashed NPCs. Never in my life have I seen such a transparent astroturfing attempt. You think you're special or unique? You're a fricking sheep.
FACT: The general populace are morons. There has literally never been anything that has been popular on a widespread scale that has been of genuine quality. Why do you think gatekeeping exists? If people had taste and didn't ruin franchises with their preferences, there'd be no GATE TO KEEP.
Have some respect for yourselves! You're no better than normies and their FOMO; "oh, my feed is full of this game, better play it so I can be part of the newest trend!" You vapid, vapid c**ts.
Everywhere I turn it's Shitdur's Gate this, Baldumb's Gay that. Who even the frick is Baldur anyway? Nobody gave a crap the first two times his gate opened. I feel like this is a gigantic psyop.
It's like the shitty Barbie movie which nobody was actually interested in but a combination of pandering and social media saturation created a social obligation to go and see it. I still haven't actually spoken to anyone in real life who's seen it, and I expect this game will be the same.
So stop fricking posting about it. 10-20 threads on every sodding platform I use. Evidently purchased.
Shall I be playing? I think not. I'll be sticking to my backlog of actual good games, thanks (I.e. things I've cultivated an interest for myself and not things the internet has told me to like.)
Grow a spine, you twats. Just say no.
I don't care whether it's reddit copypasta or not this is genuinely a trvthnuke doe
Truth.
Normies are too vulnerable to astroturfed bullshit. AI has already taken over mankind, not with laser beams but with fricking thumbs ups.
Ganker only cares about single player games if they have memes to shitpost or waifus to jerk off over
Every single thread about these forgettable titles is full of waifugayging and trying to force memes. Look at an average BG3 thread.
>see promising trailer/commercial for game
>get game
>its not as promised
>say game is not good
>get accosted, slandered, insulted
>money stolen
>try to prevent others from getting tricked too

>others money stolen
viscous anti consumer cycle, videogames eh?
time to admit your parents were right about vidya.
nice fricking game simbabs
>muh playercount
people talk about these games to this day doe, fotm slop like baldurs gate will be forgotten in a year
You guys said that people were still playing them.
>games that even though were singleplayer had an actual IMPACT. They sticked in people's memories, they caused excited long-lasting discussions and fanbases, they gave people hunger for more. Games used to spawn copycats, inspirations, new genres, tributes, spiritual successors...
kys
>they're totally important!
>nobody plays them at all
Uh huh
>w-well I don't see them having millions of players!!!
Keep missing the point Black person
Well yeah I don't see them cause they're not important.
>URRRRGGGHHHH muh playernumbers
Deus Ex is still a relevant game capable of spawning meaning full discussion even today, especially after we've seen what it "predicted". Hotline Miami was a massive success that spawned a full "genre" of copycats wanting to achieve its own success and it single-handedly caused the Synthwave genre to massively blow up & turned artists like Perturbator into millionares. There are STILL games coming out today that want to be like Hotline Miami, and people are still eager for this fix. None of the games this board has shilled recently has achieved this level of cultural impact.
you are trying too hard
never tryhard
You can't read filenames.
i read your ieslb filename
its gibberish nonsense
exactly why i called you tryhard for trying to bait so hard
nice culturally relevant game, homosexual
Hotline Miami only got popular because of the music
all this fricking dick riding and worshiping and yet nobody's replaying these games, ain't that fricking silly
Shut up homosexual
>fricking Breath of The Wild. And then it's fricking sequel shares the same fate where it does NOTHING special, changes nothing and gets forgotten
Try playing it before you make your next thread
>try playing it
Dropped it after beating two of the "dungeons". TotK is a glorified $70 expansion pass
Just play new doom wads & modded minecraft.
people been swimming in a pool of shit for a about a decade now that any 7-8/10 game is considered a masterpiece worth getting hyped for
and let reviewers rotten in hell for not calling shit games shit and mediocre games for what they are, I believe that have a big impact to we are seeing now
No. Even the best, most perfect singleplayer games run dry with a few hundred hours of play time if fricking that. No singleplayer game has ever just retained players long term.
People still talk about these games, they just don't play them. They mock you when you post steamcharts like a fricking moron.
>Deus Ex, Thief, Doom, Quake, Command and Conquer, StarCraft, Diablo, Legend of Zelda, Resident Evil, Dead Space, Silent Hill
How many of those games released within 4 years of each other? People CHURNED through games back then, rapidly. They did not stick with one or two and play them forever.
>They did not stick with one or two and play them forever.
But they did and still do.
>Breath of the Wild
Elden Ring took hold of gaming discussion everywhere when it released. It's gameplay content was fervently discussed months after it's release. Hell, to this day, people seethe about it daily on Ganker, refusing to accept that it's one of, if not the best game released in the past ten years.
>"but it's multiplayer!"
You didn't beat the game
Elden Ring is a bad Souls game, that was popular because people who never played those games started paying attention for the first time, due to George RR Martin's name being attached.
Literally didn't even beat it. I got bored. I've beaten DS2 twice.
I hated DS series but enjoyed few souls-like roguelites.
What fuels contrarians? It's so sad seeing people act like "criticizing" """""bad""""" (i.e: popular) games is the reason for their whole existance
>Elden Ring
I too transheart bad dark souls with open world to lure in the normgroids and copy pasted enemies, lmao. Irrelevant game.
>This thread
I thought it'd be hilarious to see official confirmation of just how badly TORtanicgays were assraped by BG3
It's not. It's horrifying. Jesus fricking christ yoy sad wastes are one step away from running around screaming on the streets.
....is what I want to say to the guy who wrote all that pasta, atleast.
>you need to have an active general up for years or "the community is dead"
You're a Sonic fan, aren't you?
