The CEO of Larian studios, Swen Vincke, known for directing 2023's GOTY, Baldur's Gate 3 thinks that there wasn't a console exclusive relevant enough to be considered THE GAME of the generation, is he right?

>PC gaming is so dead they need to steal Nintendo games
It's so over.
"Need"? Heh... we just stole them because it was funny. And to tell you the truth? It wasn't even a good game. And they called it "the best Nintendo game ever made"? Heh, I couldn't imagine waiting 7 entire years to play THAT.
Not current gen
what kind of nonsense is this??
switch is part of the ps4 gen
That's absolutely not the case though.
That would have been the WiiU. Even if you don't remember the WiiU, that was the console.
For this gen, it's the PS5 trying to catch up to the Switch.
Denying this is just pure cope.
WiiU and Switch are the same gen. Look it up.
Switch is currently active. Wii u has been dead for a decade. Switch is current gen. Wii U is a failed console that doesnt matter.
COPE
I can launch botw on a WiiU today if i want, cope more moron.
I can turn on my ps4 right now it doesnt make the PS5 last gen.
yes but a game release on a ps4 is not a PS5 exclusive and thus not a current gen exclusive either.
It's really not that hard to understand.
If a game is release on ps4 and PS5 then it is still a sony exclusive. Try again. And this time tell us why spiderman 2 wasnt released on ps4.
the discussion is about generation console exclusive...
totk is a lazy sequel, there is a reason people stop talking about this game way more quickly than botw.
>Switch is currently active.
PS4s are still being produced and the console still receives games. That doesn't make it current gen.
> Wii u has been dead for a decade.
Yeah, discontinued before the PS3. Imagine.
>and the console still receives games
Oh ps4 has spiderman 2?
Is that a requirement for being current gen?
current gen consoles should play current games yes.
Okay. Switch isn't current gen because it doesn't have Spiderman 2. Thanks for clarifying.
Christ you're moronic. How do we go from talking about why spiderman 2 is a current gen game being PS5 exclusive to switch doesnt have spiderman so its not current gen? What kind of idiot are you? Are you Sven? You know your game will always be in ER's shadow right?
>talking about why spiderman 2 is a current gen game
Read the reply chain moron.
I can't keep reading your vomit. You think the switch isnt current gen because it doesnt have a PS5 exclusive. You are dumber than sven.
No that was an argument other people made applied to the Switch.
you're moronic. Keep pretending the switch doesnt exist. Botw will continue to be above bg3.
Botw is an 8th gen game.
this confusion over what consoles fall into what gens is all the evidence I need to know your gay little ramblings are unhinged. You can't even define a generation. You gaslit yourself into thinking a current console with all the current games is not current gen. Please show the class where all the new games wii u versions are.
Wii U released alongside PS4 and X1
BOTW was its mascot game
this is not up to discussion
If I have a shitty PSP from 2010 and somehow manage to run a game made in 2024, does that make it a 9th gen console moron? the Switch didn't receive a single performance upgrade since 2017 and the only actual meaningful upgrade it received was a fricking OLED screen in 2021.
What defines a console generation to you? an era of upgraded consoles or new games?
>BOTW was its mascot game
Botw release campaign was for the switch.
botw is a Wii U game, they panicked and ported the game on the switch because the wii U was a flop but still the game was design with the Wii U in mind, the game use the screen in the gamepad really well for example.
yeah because wiiu was flop you moronic mongrel.
it´s literally the point of the sad state gaming is currently in. all we get a rehashes, remakes, reboots and remasters because publishers are moronic and scared of taking risks anymore.
The WiiU was discontinued before the PS3 and the fricking Wii.
yeah. It is.
>PS4s are still being produced and the console still receives games. That doesn't make it current gen.
99% of the PS5 library is also available on the PS4. So the PS5 is the same generation as the PS4, right? Right?
>WiiU and Switch are the same gen. Look it up.
Look what up?
Are you looking towards the wiki as an authority?
The wiki debated what gen the Switch was all up until one of the mods just locked the discussion, cited a Kotaku article that compared the PS4 and Switch sales in the same article. And used that as its basis for them being the same gen. And banned all further debate on the topic before archiving and deleting all past debate on the topic.
It's funny though. Because there have been tons and tons of articles just like that one, comparing the PS5 and the Switch since then. So by the same logic, the PS5 and the Switch are the same gen now.
But those mods don't care.
But if you look at the engineering pipelines. Which is what you actually should do. Then it is apparent that the Switch is the successor to the WiiU. Making them different generations regardless.
BotW is a Wii U game ported to the Switch, it can't be current-Gen.
no real dungeons, simple as
the switch literally won two generations even though it was underpowered as frick lmao
BotW or some nonsense is probably the closest you'll get.
TotK really took the shine off BotW's rep.
I still expect TotK to take Japan's GotY.
Agreed TOTK was such ass it would've been acceptable if it didn't take so fricking long mediocre garbage
>Sven is mad because nobody is wondering how he made his game
A cursory research would tell you that totk's physics are driven by Havok and they do nothing out of the ordinary with it, sorry but you fell for moronic journo narratives.
Post your massive adventure games unfolding physics bridge if its so easy and common.
Why? It's not exactly riveting gameplay
I accept your defeat.
Ah ah ah anon but but, can BOTW/TOTK let me play a mosquito and bite sleeping women?? It can't? Lmao shit game thought so I accept your defeat
This kind of stupid discussion can only happen when you're massively reductive and have only a hazy memory of what games used to be during a particular generation.
Bridge Constructor (2013), and most big games tend to use Havok including Banjo & Kazooie Nuts & Bolts, which totk took a lot of cues from.
>modern hack devs don't even know what havok is
>modern hack devs cried because they didn't want bg3 to raise the bar and become a new standard
bg3 is far more impressive
Ubisoft already made that game in 2007.
BOTW was THE GAME of the previous generation. It perfected the Ubisoft tower open world formula.
BOTW is current generation anon
It's a wii u game
Not really, it was a cross gen title bridging the 8th and 9th gen thanks to it being on both the Wii U and Switch.
A shame totk had to come along to make the slower people and people who only play a game for a few hours before dropping it realize botw wasn't actually that good.
Bg3 will always be below botw on the chart.
what was THE game of last generation? GTA V? if so, isn't it obvious then that GTA VI will be the game of this generation?
>console exclusive
GTA V was console exclusive for 2 years. Which was a pretty long time back then.
was Bloodborne for me
Each console had at least one "THE game" even though last gen was pretty shit
>Xbone had MCC (after they made it functional) or Rare Replay
>PS4 had Bloodborne, Ghost of Tushima and arguably Gravity Rush 2
>Wii U had Smash U and The Wonderful 101
>Switch has Smash Ultimate, MK8:Deluxe, SM:O, TotK (it's disappointing as frick as a sequel but it completely mogs BotW in every way) and Splatoon 3
The current generation is somehow worse than the last one and that one was already weak in comparison with the one before which was the gen that started this downwards trend to begin with
I took Sven's tweet to mean a single game that was not on PC that defined the whole console generation. But he has Belgian brain, so I don't expect him to make much sense anyway.
He's talking about system seller games, games so good that it makes you buy the hardware that they are attached too just to play them, regardless of how good of a product the consoles themselves are
>PS4 had Bloodborne, Ghost of Tushima and arguably Gravity Rush 2
More like Spiderman or God of War 2018. Which did better financially and critically, even if Ganker doesn't like them.
FIFA isn't a game of the generation contender, why Sonygays such drones?
Why not? Probably because these discussions are purely driven by this idea that you need a cinematic blockbuster respected by Hollywood cliques to be considered "a thing", despite that not being a main sales driver.
Is FIFA an exclusive??? Because this about the best game of each console, Tendie.
How can you make these posts implying each console doesn't have a best game that is only on that console? How you can deny the sky is blue while we all look up at it?
Are you reading the posts you're replying to???
I think Spiderman or God of War have the best claim for PS4's Game of the Console.
>Gravity Rush 2
That game flopped so hard that it tanked the entire studio and has no cultural impact.
GTA V came out 2 generations ago not last generation.
The last GTA game was over a decade ago.
I think RDR2 was conisdered the game of the last generation though.
PS4 - RDR2
PS3 - GTAV
PS2 - San Adnreas
PS1 - Tekken 3
SNES - Super Mario World
NES - Nintendo World Cup
NOOO NO THAT DOESNT COUNT BECAUSE THOSE ARENT "THE" GAME OF THE CONSOLE GEN THOSE ARE JUST THE GAMES OF THOSE SPECIFIC CONSOLE GENS!
see how svens logic is crazy and unhinged. He thinks there's ever been a point when an n64 game was considered THE exclusive of the gen to people who have a ps1.
consLuL
Nintendo has multiple 20m+ sellers. Take your pick. Not even a tendie but this dude is a moron.
The game is supposed to be exclusive to that console, since all nintendo games are ON pc they automatically don't count.
Ring Fit is not on pc tho
?
This is the definition of a bad faith argument.
about the same as using Metacritic as an objective measurement of the quality of games
Something being popular doesn't mean that's it's relevant let alone iconic, Horizon sold ten billion copies but no one gives a frick about it, he's right, there were no Bloodbornes or Ocarina of time during the PS5 era
>Something being popular doesn't mean that's it's relevant let alone iconic
shut up gaygoid
he´s right though.
your pic could be also genshit.
is it relevant today? to these gachalosers and turd wordlers, sure, to the rest of us, hell no.
it´s always the same with marketing:
>look how popular it is, it must be good
>turns out, it´s just ticked checkboxes shit.
it´s all so tiresome.
Palbros...
Palworld was always hire this man slop. It may've put pokemon to absolute shame, but that's really not a high bar.
I think he meant something exclusive to console, all of them, but not PC or probably removing the Switch from the equation entirely since Nintendo has always done their thing more or less.
Why though, if it's on all consoles it's multiplat and will be on PC as well
Theres plenty of good exclusives to a console, mostly Nintendo, but I get the feeling this gay wants his TLOU game where playstation freaks pump it up to be God's greatest gift but most generation defining titles are Multiplat, like my mistakenly posted Elden Ring
Something like Zelda might be considered but only by Nintendo fanboys and those who played it, but is it console defining if I, and at least half to 2/3 of people haven't played it because we don't want a Switch. To define a generation it has to have the reach of something like Skyrim, where it was so generation defining it's on a fricking fridge, but again that was multiplat and on PC so its a dumb requisite
>big sales means it's THE game
In that case CoD and FIFA are THE games of all times. He is clearly talking about generation defining game, not just big seller that's forgotten after a week.
Now how us mw3s review scores.
What the frick reviews have to do with the fact that normies been eating codslop for almost 20 years now?
Are you moronic?
Are you nintendo adult?
Just exposing your hypocrisy
>sales don't matter!
>uhhhh also reception doesn't matter either!
>nothing matters! A game with great sales and poor reception is exactly the same as a game with great sales and
Well, there's arguably been no generation-defining game because that would require innovation, and development & manpower costs for AAA games are now so insane that they have to hew conservative design-wise.
Hollywood has the same problem, but occasionally a director has enough pull to do something that's not a pat MCU clone. Video games don't have directors at the AAA level with that pull, beyond maybe Kojima, and he's firmly a "I would rather make movies" guy typically of vidya's chronic inferiority complex.
>development & manpower costs for AAA games are now so insane that they have to hew conservative design-wise.
That's not actually true. They're just laundering money by driving up costs, not to mention the administrative and non-technical bloat like hiring 8 writers for a 20 hour game. If a "AAA" game is using an existing game engine like Unreal Engine 5, there's even less excuse to have 480 people in the credits.
Nobody really cares about or respects nintendo games because they're made for children. Cry about it
A game selling a lot doesn't mean shit. A lot of Nintendo games sell a lot this gen and are total dogshit. Arguing around sales is pure tendie/fanboy mentality.
All mogged by Palworld. Your point?
You are proving his point by saying "several games" without being able to name one that is completely over shadowing the rest of them. Thanks for your contribution tendie
Botw already btfod you when your game was still in early access slop mode.
he's just pretentious europoor who think games outside of Europe are shit
He means memorable games that defined a generation. There has yet to be any like that.
They don't count they're all Wii U ports
Exactly
Both BOTW and TOTK could be treated as generation-defining games from a sales and review perspective alone
>generation-defining games from a sales and review perspective alone
cool but we are not doing that, we are talking about good games, not popular games that journos liked, Dark soul is probably the most influential game of the ps3/xbox360 era with Minecraft and have a MC score of 89.
only tendies care about this shit
Nintendo has frick all
>a port of Mario Kart
>worst Animal Crossing
>BoTW a PiiU port or its assets flip sequel
maybe Smash could work I guess but its dead because of shitty online and Nintendie hating its fanbase
he is unironically right
this console generation has been a waste of time and money
arguably PC has been an even bigger waste of time, what the frick is there to play on the high-end GPU’s? most PC games are just ports these days
Every advance in hardware is just another tool that allows software designers to be lazier.
Not really atleast on pc you can play all the old classics and play with ai it even roleplay with you so thats that.
>atleast on pc you can play all the old classics
Phones do that now grandpa your pc is useless.
Why because you don't have that 1 (one) game that others can't play? Aw poor baby, better luck next time I guess
i havent bought a current gen console because of how lackluster things have been lmao
Oddly enough, if PS5 could only play PS5 games and no PS4 ones, I feel PS4 would be a much more interesting buy right now.
You get kinda 1080p with kinda 60 FPS too, the technological leap is not that big.
A PS5 was an alright buy for somebody who wants to catch up on PS4 games or just play the multiplats if they don't have a PC.
What a truly incredibly stupid reply.
CRPG that is GOTY
I know you are just trolling, but that is factually incorrect.
Or do the 90s not exist for you?
I wanna say BOTW still did some unique things, especially in terms of traversal and "open physics" for the lack of a better term.
That being said, I don't think it's GOTY. Same goes for its successor.
BG3 wasn't a good game either Sven.
>Zelda TikTok
>Dad of War
>Gaylo
He's unironically right.
flies and shit or something like that
It's hard to pinpoint a game like that this generation. I would say Tears of the Kingdom probably fits that position the most, but it also has its fair share of flaws holding it back. He's right, I can't think of any revolutionary game on Xbox, PS5, or Switch this generation that everybody NEEDS to fricking play.
The point is really that when we consider THE console exclusive, what most people mean is the game that cannot run on any other console hardware which creates some kind of graphical or experiential moment that defines that console generation's look and feel. Nintendo games haven't been in the running since the Wii, hence why even though Wii Sports sold hundreds of millions they don't consider it THE CE of the gen.
For this PS5/Xbox Series generation, there really hasn't been a good example. There's been plenty of bad ones that showcase the failures of this generation of game dev liike Halo Infinite and Returnal. There's exclusives that aren't enough of a hit to be THE game of the generation like Ratch & Clank or Spider-Man 2. There isn't something like Medal of Honor or Halo 2.
moron there are multiple consoles. There is no such thing as THE console exclusive
Are YOU fricking moronic? Console exclusive = Exclusive to 1 console.
Anything on the switch. Next cope.
Well yes, that's what I'm also trying to say with my post. We don't have anything outstandingly amazing. We have lots of open world games that were liked, but I'm not sure if we can really consider stuff like Zelda or Elden Ring to be revolutionary, groundbreaking, must play games.
But this is also coming from a person who's played lots of Zelda and Souls games, so I'm not as impressed by these games as newer players would be.
Returnal was good though.
I think it's very niche and is a triumph of style over story. Highlights how the millennials are afraid to write and rely on mystery boxes.
Honestly I didn't even engage in the plot, I just think the gameplay was good and that's most of the experience.
it's really dragged down by the needless and halfassed roguelite bullshit and a fear of challenging the player, making the first half a snoozefest.
real shame cuz the core mechanics and movement are tight. if it had been a more linear shooter with clever level design and enemy placement it could've been a real gem
That's a lot of cope for saying BOTW has been the generational game for the past 7 years.
It's also made messy because the Switch came out seven motherfricking years ago. It's the same gen as PS4 and Xbone, not PS5 and XSXSXSXSX. So TotK is not a GAME of this generation. Switch already had a bunch of defining games to sell the console. PS5 and XSXSXSXSX have not, despite being out for years. The only thing close is something like FF16, which is a timed exclusive (and they said it would be before it came out). I think the argument is that there's no real reason to own a current gen console because none of them have a console-selling game.
Also the switch is a handheld where the majority of its games are ports or DLC of ports.
Might as well say that Mario 64 is the best game on the switch
Mia is so cute
Elden Ring
Not an exclusive, can you morons read?
Can a exclusive define a generation if over half of people don't play it? I already said if it's on every console its on PC, And I already said no, only by fans on the console, not game
I'm taking all games, and the fact this generation is Elden Ring when he's acting like 'What other than BG3" No motherfricker, just because you got sucked off by journalists and won a award doesn't make you game the best of a f'n generation when a better game won the same award last year
It defines a generation if other games and studios start to copy its look, feel, mechanic, or scenes. Like, we all know Halo 2 defined a generation. Killzone 3 didn't.
Ok fair enough, at look at that as more defining the future of games rather than the time period it existed but I get it
Reading the OP tweet, exclusivity is never mentioned there.
Mario Kart 8 and GTAV are still carrying despite being a console generation old
GTA5 is two generations old.
This guy talks like a schizo and qualifies his statements in a way to avoid mentioning Elden Ring.
ER was basically DS4+++++
Better than anything larian has ever made. That's why he specifically worded his statement to not have to include ER.
DS4++++ brought nothing new to the table
Nothing larian has done is new.
This smug sense of superiority while explicitly excluding ER from the contest is hilarious.
>first AAA CRPG
>first CRPG that has cinematics whenever you interact with a character
>first CRPG that is GOTY
Need I go on, fromdrone?
None of that is true sven and bg3 isn't even the first baldurs gate game that won goty.
moron
Baldur's Gate was still cool before you even heard of it, sit tf down.
This is why ER was a blast for me, I hadn't played DS3, I was the biggest DS fan at the time and just played DS1 whenever I got the itch, now i'm progressing through the series as I need progressive difficulty
>Going from DS1 to Sekiro
Yeah that made a really hard game seem absolutely brutal at first. Beat the Ogre pretty easily by dodging around like a idiot then thinking that would cut it for the rest of the game. Got fricked wrecked by that Bull and Gybou(?)
Elden Ring is on PC
Damn bg3 isn't even the best pc game...
Elden Ring is last gen game.
Dark Souls is a decade old already.
>Last gen game
>Iterative sequel instead of an innovative one
>On PC and is by far the best on PC
Pick all
Elden Ring is multiplat and was on PC from day 1. It's in the same boat as BG3.
Not a console exclusive dumbass
Stupid fricking Black person can't even read.
I bought a PS5 because when I sit at my PC all I want to do is goon

But enough about you.
Taiwan is a rebel warlord puppet state that openly claimed it would eventually invade mainland china until only 20 years ago, you're autistic, Larian won.
I love that the people who post this think that 30% can compare to 70%.
Also with the success of BG3 they probably have even more independence now.

He's right but Baldur's gate 3 is dogshit
Xbox has literally zero exclusives because everything is also released for PC. Even if you count games that skipped the PS5, the best their library has to offer is... Hi-Fi Rush and Forza Horizon 5? Neither of which is really a system seller.
The PS5 does have some true exclusives, but the situation is just as grim. Spider-Man 2 was their biggest title and, even if you close your eyes to the moronic story, the game is mid at best.
Switch doesn't even count because it's an eight gen console.
So yes, he's absolutely right.
Does that really count though? Most people can't afford $2800 gaming PCs or $1800 gaming laptops.
homie, you can buy a Deck for 500 bucks and play 90% of these games at 720p + emulate/play any game released in the past 40 fricking years. You can buy a gayman prebuilt for 600-700 bucks and get identical performance to a PS5 in these games sans 4k and/or gay tracing
>You can buy a gayman prebuilt for 600-700 bucks and get identical performance to a PS5 in these games sans 4k and/or gay tracing
Blatant lying you must be Sven.
The reason I mentioned prebuilt is because you are 100% correct with the fact that PC hardware is completely FRICKED when it comes to price if you buy each part individually, but prebuilt and older pre-owned hardware is dirt cheap by comparison and gives you PS5 performance for my mentioned price. The Deck also still exists and there is a damn good reason why it has been on steams top 15 list since release, it gives you PS4 performance in a portable format while being so easy to use that even tard IQ gen A children can figure out how to use it
Deck is chinkshit garbage.
The deck is literally the best handheld ever made.
It's an oversized piece of junk with a broken, unstable OS.
You should actually use one first so you can form real reasons to hate it. I'll give you the oversized complaint, but that's all modern handhelds, even including the switch.
I have a Deck, you moronic cultists. It magically stopped working within a month because it's poorly made Chinese garbage. The touchpads suck ass, too.
I believe you.
>The touchpads suck ass, too
I definitely believe you.
They do. In desktop mode it was a 50/50 crapshoot whether sliding my thumb up would scroll up or down, that is if it worked that day and I didn't have to use the Dpad. Play a real handheld or use a PC.
Literally never had that problem. Deck works flawlessly 2 years on. Assuming you're being honest did you consider an RMA? When millions of devices are shipped out to people there's bound to be a few bad ones.
DUDE YOU DON'T OWN IT SO YOU'RE WRONG!!
ummmm ackshually those are not native PC releases available to all PC users
try again, newbie 🙂
>those are not native PC releases available to all PC users
Of course they are! You can even download it yourself, my friend! And if they weren't native, wouldn't Nintendo just shut it down by calling @FBI?
For ps5 it will be stellar blade and for xbox it's hi-fi rush (also on pc but whatever).
Swen is a cuck who cares more about status than actually developing a game. Why else would he put his main office in a unesco heritage with flooded basement server rooms where they can't change a god damn thing to the building. I hate this dude with a passion.
what did they name as THE games of the previous generations?
So whats THE game from all these gens
NES Gen -

Eh.
>Mario 64 for controls
But there were lots of 3D games that established modern controls that gen, Mario isn't one of them
>Sonic, sadly
cry
It kind of depends on what THE game even means. If you think about it as a game that was very influential and defined expectations for a generation or justified a purchase, it would be something like:
>NES
Super Mario Bros 3
>SNES/Genesis
A Link to the Past / Sonic the Hedgehog
>PS1/N64/Saturn
Ocarina of Time / Final Fantasy VII
>PS2/GameCube/Xbox
GTA San Andreas
>PS3/Wii/360
For better or worse, Wii Sports
>PS4/Xbone/WiiU/Switch
Breath of the Wild
>For better or worse, Wii Sports
No, it's either CoD 4 or GTA V.
I understand the argument, but I still think Wii Sports was the definitive game of that gen, simply for the fact that it was ground zero for waggle, casuals entering the industry and a lot of decisions made later on.
>SNES/Genesis
Street Fighter 2.
>PS1/N64 Gen -
>PS2/Gamecube Gen -
these two gens had so many The Game that is sad compared to the actual state of the industry

Sven will pretend they dont exist because more than one good exclusive existing explodes his brain.
tbf, I didn't say these games were good. i just listed the ones that had the most impact in the culture long after they were released, even if negatively.
>sven is a schizo who needs a way to claim his game is the best game of the gen
>makes excuses for why botw and ER don't count
This guy is pathetic. Is it because his game got BTFOd by a pokemon clone?
Well hold the frick up, what are THE games for past consoles?
>THE game of the gen
>NO NOT LIKE THAT
Shut up sven.
This homosexual made one good game and now he's running his mouth like he's the shit. Can't stand game devs
He's right.
All the games worth a damn this gen have been on PC.
Only if you like early access slop. Now wait 6 months for your shitty port while we all play the new game.
>None of these games count because they aren't only on one platform
>BG3 TOTALLY COUNTS GUYS PLEASE PRAISE ME
Sven is such a pussy.
Bro just say you don't like bg3 and move on
He said the opposite, moron.
The thing about Switch exclusives is that, between being portable, having touch and motion controls, and being on cartridge-limited hardware where games can't exceed 32gb, nothing on Switch can ever be a generation-defining experience. No other AAA games will come out that will imitate the mechanics or style because the other consoles are vastly more powerful and also a lot more input-limited.
Sven you are mentally ill.
>he thinks a game needs to have a big file to be allowed to be generation defining
The entirety of the 90s-10s have a word for you. Don't speak up like you know anything, moron.
I mean the only PS5 exclusives for now are what, Demon's Souls (remake of PS3 game), FF16 and Spidey 2
Spider-man 2 is the game Sven is looking for. It's got the best graphics, it's got amazing controls, it has a diverse cast, and it ties into the biggest media franchise Disney has ever had outside of Star wars.
Yeah he's not wrong. Honestly, gaming in general has gone down in overall quality to be honest. BG3 is an outlier. Starfield was par for the course. A big budget game that ended up being disappointing.
I sought refuge in my Japanese games but even they are being infected by American standards which makes them worse.
Granblue Fantasy Relink has been surprisingly good at least even though Americans tried to ruin it with horrendous dubbing and censorship.
Trying to give the most basic opinion I can think of:
3rd Gen: Super Mario Bros
4th Gen: Chrono Trigger or Super Metroid
5th Gen: Ocarina of Time, FF7 or Mario 64
6th Gen: Halo or GTA San Andreas
7th Gen: Dark Souls, GTA V, Skyrim or Last of Us
8th Gen: Breath of the Wild (If you don't want to count switch games as 8th gen, it still came out on Wii U too)
9th Gen: So far either Elden Ring or Baldurs Gate 3
> 9th Gen: So far either Elden Ring or Baldurs Gate 3
CONSOLE ONLY EXCLUSIVE YOU moron
AND NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT GOTY
HE LITERALLY SAID"
>"*THE* CONSOLE GAME"
I don't know what THE console is. Can you explain what this made up term is for the class sven?
What (exclusive, at least for a very, very while i.e. FFX re-releasing as resellhash on PS3 does not matte) game (s) defined PS1? What games defined PS2? PS3? Can you name one of few? That is what he is talking about.
A CONSOLE game that somewhat defines/define either the console or the console year of 2023.
Sven. Bg3 is not an exclusive. You have no business talking about exclusives when I can name an exclusive that simply exists and it meets your criteria of being a game thats exclusive that lots of people played and enjoyed.
It doesn't matter how you cope. Your schizo ramblings will never remove ER from being the best game of the gen. Not your game which isn't even the best baldurs gate game.
What the actual frick you shizo, nobody was saying BG3 is exclusive, nobody was even talking about BG3.
The discussion was about other games. Are you high or just a dumb american?
Sven you are an absolute schizo.
Playing BG3 on console just isn't the same PC optimized console ported as all good games that aren't first party are these days
Bg3 had an entire team dedicated to the console version and it controls great. Unlike the inverse where most games get developed for console first and then get a low effort port.
Enjoy your ports and enjoy your enigma.
Botw now cope and seethe and turn that schizo brain on and try to find another way to make a contest that leaves bg3 at the top.
BoTW is past gen, tho.
>and try to find another way to make a contest that leaves bg3 at the top.
BG3 wasn't a console exclusive so it's not even in this discussion.
Botw already aged like shit and totk made that obvious to everyone.
I don't care how it aged. Botw completely changed the course of the gen. Unlike bg3 which nobody is clamoring to copy.
Yeah because devs were crying about how it'd be too hard. It's easy to copy botw and yet only one gachashit and a few hacks lifted a few of the ideas because botw's claim to fame is throwing out all structure, level design and meaning to essentially turn a game into a walking sim to pander to bottom of the barrel casuals.
>Botw completely changed the course of the gen
lol
>it got copied by a gacha game and uhhhhhhhhhh
Nothing relevant took anything from it and it came out over 7 years ago.
A game that came out exclusively on the current generation of consoles (Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft) and not on PC.
esl detected
I would say Pong for first generation. Second gen is a bit harder, especially since that's when shit crashed. Adventure maybe?
No wait, Pitfall for second.
I mean, Gen 2 is E.T.
A definitive game is just influential, it doesn't necessarily have to be influential for doing good things.
Alright, but that would make it the only generation THE game is bad. Which is fair since it's the generation that crashed. But hey, maybe current generation will have a bad THE game if things are as shitty as they're saying.
>Pacman
>River Raid
>Space Invaders
But honestly I'd say those "generations" simply don't work. Comparing the 2600 and the colecovison as same gen just doesn't pan out
>6th Gen: Halo
I don't see why sven is so obsessed with pretending elden ring doesn't exist. Is it because he knows his game is second fiddle to it?
I agree, and while I thought BG3 was very good, it still pales in comparison to Bloodbourne
Both Sony and MS don't have anything. That's what people complain about.
Nintendo had their fair share of strong popular titles but neither camp blue nor camp green have delivered anything impactful
>Spiderman 2 is just Spiderman but more - a PS4 game in its core
>Horizon Zero Dawn is as unimpressive as ever
>God of War while popular was also just another cinematic Sony walking sim like any of the others before
>Microsoft completely shat the bed with Halo
>Fable looks bad and is also far away from release
>Gears of War hasn't been relevant in ages
>none of their other projects like Starfield made an actual impact
Nintendo and PC titles are dominating the discussions online. At this point not even GTA 6 could save the PS5 and XBOX cause it releases way too late - plus people already know that its gonna end up on PS6, PC at some point.
Microsoft and Sony both didn't deliver on anything this generation - They just treated it as an extension of the last one.
Where's Scalebound?
Still cancelled sorry.
> console game
> Elden Ring
Swen is such an arrogant butthole, can't wait to see this guy fall.
Fricking with codexgays is an entirely noble endeavor and he was completely right, I don't see the problem.
Am I supposed to be mad at this, assuming it's even real?
How many times will sven seethe over elden ring?
Now he's making up scenarios and terms in his head to pretend he made the best game ever when a game from last year is better. Bg3 is multiplat, what is his obsession with exclusives?
>Elden Ring is set to release for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC this Friday, February 25, 2022 (see it at Amazon).
Elden Ring is a PC game, it's a non-cinematic game and it sold better on PC.
Fromdrones and reading comprehension is like oil and water
>YOU SEE IF YOU JUST PRETEND BOTW AND ELDEN RING NEVER HAPPENED THEN MY GAME IS ACTUALLY THE BEST GAME OF THE GEN
Sven is quickly becoming the most annoying dev on the planet.
moron, his post cuts off BG3 too, literally.
Fricking moron.
>BOTW
Last gen game, and not impressive
>ELDEN RING
Generic rollslop except with more walking through empty fields
This is your future next gen?
>this is your future next gen?
No. The future hasn't happened yet and next gen is the future. We are in current gen. Your weasel words don't work on people with brains, sven.
How do you frickers have reading comprehension this bad? ER isn't even a part of the discussion. BG3 isn't either. Neither of them are console exclusives.
ER, BG3, GTAV and Dad of war AREN'T EXCLUSIVES
State of this gen:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:PlayStation_5-only_games
>13 games
>5 aren’t out yet
>2 are VR
>2 are remakes
>1 is a tech demo

They're saving the killers for the PS6's launch
>please forget about these other games existing bg3 is the best as long as you forget those other games happened
>I will now rant about exclusives despite doing nothing myself to make a good exclusive
>I will also pretend nintendo doesn't exist and spiderman isn't the face of PlayStation for multipler generations now
Schizo rambling
>spiderman
>game of the generation
It's not even the movie game of the generation lol
People that are stupid enough to buy consoles and be brand loyalists are not capable of identifying an 'exclusive'
Dumb shizo. Even if he did not exclude BG3 himself it still would not count as it is not an exclusive.
This has no impact on the original question he asks. I also can't name such game, it is all a blur.
2023 GOTY was Pizza Tower and not a single game even came close to being a runner-up
>reddit tower
>if I pretend spiderman and zelda don't exist than no big exclusives have ever happened!
>if I pretend ER and botw doesn't exist than BG3 becomes the best game of the gen!
Man this guy is a cope machine.
Can you honestly call Spooder-Man THE game? It is generic as frickm just budget overblown
For ps5 yes. I don't care that you don't like it. It's exclusive. It came out recently. It has amazing sales and amazing reception. It's the biggest ip Sony has.
Death Stranding 2 is going to be a smash hit
What a pointless fricking discussion, especially since it's so deeply rooted in personal retrospective bias. Massive fart huffing.
Gen 6 - too many to count, FFX probably
Gen 7 - MW2, Gaylo 3, MGSIV
Gen 8 - Bloodborne, P5
Gen 9 - ...
>DUDE THIS GAME DOESNT COUNT
>DUDE THAT GAME DOESNT COUNT
>WOW LOOKS LIKE BG3 ONLY COUNTS AND SINCE THERES NO OTHER GAMES THAT EXIST THAT MAKES BG3 "THE" GAME OF THE GEN I WIN
Schizo ramblings
How do you morons even get access to the internet?
Is reading too hard for you? are you a bunch of 6 year olds unable to understand a simple sentence?
>please please pretend that nintendo doesnt exist so i can spout nonsense about no good exclusives being made
shut up sven.
The only title that could be it is BOTW and that a WiiU game .
Nintendo games have been mediocre this generation.
Botw released on the switch. Its current gen. I know you tried to gaslight yourself into thinking the switch doesn't exist but it does and it's about to become the best selling console of all time.
>Botw released on the switch. Its current gen. I know you tried to gaslight
you mean ported hastily because the wiiU was a failure, then YES.
Still BOTW is not a switch exclusive NO MATTER how you look at it.
cope more tendie
Tears of the Kingdom then, which mogs BotW
we are talking about games, not DLCs.
Yeah, so TotK
exclusives are aids so that's good
soo console exclusives only
xbox360: Halo 3
ps3: last of us
ps4: Bloodborne/GoW remake
xboxOne: ??? genuinely nothing comes to mind thats an actual killer app
ps5: ? nothing comes to mind other than Demons Souls Remake but thats just a remake
SeriesX: it was supposed to be Halo Infinite but they fumbled the bag
By gen, does he mean PS5/Xbox gen? The big game for Switch was BOTW. if we disqualify that because Switch is so old, there's good reason to believe that. Sony's big games were iterative sequels that didn't innovate. Xbox hasn't done shit this gen. Good observation.
>if I pretend spiderman 2 never happened that means that ps5 never got a flagship exclusive
>if I pretend none of nintendos dozen 95+ metacritic rated games ever happened that means the switch never got any flagship exclusives
>if I pretend Microsoft is worth talking about at all I can pretend the other two are as bad as MS
>now that I have successfully gaslit myself into forgetting PlayStation and nintendo exclusive flagship games I will try to convince everyone else that they don't exist
This is the guy who made the furry porn game right?
kek he got you so worked up
Schizo rambling got you pressed when somebody checks you.
Why are you people bringing up Spider-Man? Even my snoygay friend thought it was disappointing.
Deathloop is the closest but they put it on PC
Spiderman has good web swinging but everything else about it bores me
Demon souls remake is really good but no way can a remake be a generation definer
Nintendo somehow just gets excluded by default because that is literally a blind spot to Sony/X-Box fans
Or maybe they just don't care about their games.
To each his own.
So then stop rambling about exclusives sven
Well good.
Console exclusives are a blight.
I dunno Zelda TotK seemed pretty big even if it failed to win GotY since it ran alongside BG3.
TotK clears his gay boardgame movie
Zelda tiktok got forgotten 2 weeks after it's release
I see gays seethe about it here everyday
People are making fun of it, yeah
Yeah the people who got mindraped by the best game this gen can't stop seething
I can't speak pre gen 4 because I wasn't into gaming until I won a snes at the movie theater I worked at as a teen:
>gen 4
super mario world on snes, sonic 2 on MD/genesis
>gen 5
super mario 64 on n64, tossup on ps1 but I'd personally say I remember hearing a lot more fanfare about crash 3 than almost any other game at the time.
>gen 6
I would personally argue FFX, because I think just about every person I know had it if they had a PS2, even if they didn't play JRPGs. San Andreas is probably "the one" by modern metrics though. for gamecube probably RE4 (it ended up elsewhere later on but it was HUGE for gamecube.) xbox had halo 2 for sure.
>gen 7
halo 3 and modern warfare 2 curbstomped the entire generation, they're still played to this fricking day. wii sports honorable mention although it was a packin. I would say dark souls too, but it wasn't "that game" until much much later. Same with des.
>gen 8
bloodborne on ps4, xbone I saw a lot of love and still occasionally do for sunset overdrive, but it wasn't ever really 'that game'. wiiu had botw.
>gen 9
nothing yet. Everything's fricking multiplat and boiled down to shit because of the series S, and every dev studio out there has remarked on this kneecapping them due to fear of MS cutting off support for them if they don't adhere.
I reckon we won't see a major generation defining title ever again because of this. No exclusives = no effort put in to crafting something just for the platform, without having to worry about lowest common denominators.
>No exclusives = no effort put in to crafting something just for the platform
I don't own a switch so I can't speak on the quality of it's games but since botw I've yet to see anything really break the internet or create discourse or a "must have" swellstorm.
>botw
>totk
>literally any of several amazing switch exclusives
>spiderman
>ghost of tushima
>final fantasy
If I pretend these games don't exist then no good exclusives happened this gen. I am sven.
Absolutely nobody counts switch as 9th gen.
>spiderman
>ghost of tushima
Hahahaha holy shit the desperation
Everyone getting mad as frick in this thread is just proving Swen right because deep down they know he's right.
Console exclusives haven't been good since Bloodborne, he's right.
I just hate him for taking the name of my fav. rpg and repeating the same shit game for the 3rd time but under a renown name to bait some nostalgiagays with no standards to buy his low key 4 years early access simp simulator, frick his gay shit and frick the chinks promoting this trash.
Hard to say what they consider a console or in this generation. If the Switch is included, I can think of several, but exclusive to PS5/XSX? No clue.
>why are there no good flagship exclusives anymore?
>uhhh zelda? Spiderman 2?
>NO NO NOOOOO THOSE DONT COUNT
I, for one, welcome the death of the console exclusive. It is better for the consumer in every way to freely choose what hardware to play their games on.
This guy is legitimately schizophrenic
This entire thread is just pcgays seething over most of their games being low effort console ports that come out a year late.
>not a new ip
>has been seething throughout this entire thread, misunderstanding the argument swen is making
>calling anyone else schizo
>in this thread we make up reasons for why ER and BoTW didn't change the industry so that bg3 can sound more impactful than it was
Everyone rushed to copy fromsoft and nintendos formula. Name one big dev who is rushing to copy bg3.
tendies BTFO.
Super Mario Odyssey
I guess it doesn't count because you can't frick animals in that
Bg3 schizo thread where we take turns explaining why ER doesn't count and bg3 wins game of the gen by no contest
Maybe they mean console exclusive specifically?
And for PS5/Xbox Series, it's quite true. There hasn't been a Bloodborne or a RE4 or what have you.
>there hasn't been an re4
Wrong
>spiderman doesn't count
>God of war doesn't count
>ghost of tushima doesn't count
Let's not pretend bloodborne was leagues above any of these. In fact. Stop mentioning bloodborne at all when ER shits al over it AND bg3 and sven needed to come up with a cope contest that excluded ER because he knows his game isn't as good.
doesn't count
>>God of war doesn't count
of tushima doesn't count
They don't count cause they're bad, moron
>ER
It's not a console exclusive, that's what I'm saying, otherwise what Sven is saying makes no sense, Elden Ring is clearly the definitive game of our time.
>They don't count cause they're bad,
Thats not what 95% of the industry says.
>er is not exclusive
Yes and it's still better than bg3 and will be seen as THE game of this gen no matter how many qualifiers you add.
>Elden Ring is clearly the definitive game of our time.
by what standards? by popularity or quality? by popularity its fortnite and compatriots. by quality, its not Elden Ring, but rather Sekiro when considering From Soft but there is many other games that have more quality to them and did set more trends and Elden Ring did nothing new or gamechanging. I'd even argue BOTW is a bigger contender, despite also not being very original, but very influential.
>sekiro is higher quality than ER
Not even better than ds1
DS1 sucks and so do DS2 and DS3, Sekiro and ER mog these sloppa
Sekiro is the best game from has made.
Not even better than armored core.
its okay if you didnt like it, everyone else did
Not even the most liked fromsoft game.
>but very influential
It influenced one gacha game in any meaningful way. Botw wasn't influential at all, it's been 7 years and it hasn't left any real mark on this industry. It was just yet another open world trendchaser chasing after minecraft and skyrim's massive success and was only more successful than many other such trendchasers because it had the nintendo name attached and they skinned a renowned franchise to drape over it.
You're so stupid it hurts.
You mean the guy who said he was inspired by a bunch of different open worlds, but explicitly said ER wasn't inspired by anything?
Anyone who falls for clickbait headlines like you and starts making assumptions and baiting with them is the real moron.
Genshin Impact
>no you see if you just pretend that unnamed fromsoft game never happened then bg3 is the REAL best game of the gen!
>I feel like we didn't have THE game on console yet
We did and I feel like I'm talking to a moron right now but I'll play along sven. Specify which console you are actually talking about and I will tell you THE game on it.
Humor me.
>PS5
>Switch
>Xbox
Elden Ring, BotW, Elden Ring
generation defining i'd argue fortnite and the likes. we might not like them, but they have influence on the industry as a whole and a lot of young people are playing and every DEV wants a piece of the pie, thats why there is such a focus on online games.
>sven pretends ps5 and switch have no good exclusives
>sven is obsessed with exclusives even though his game is not one
>his game Is also not the best non exclusive of the gen, that title goes to elden ring
He's just wailing on Twitter at this Point.
Elden Ring and BotW came out this gen (both contenders for THE GAME of this gen), so no he is not right. Do NOT reply to this post.
Elden Ring is not up for discussion it is not a console exclusive, it was out on PC day 1. TotK blowing such ass made people realize just how mediocre BotW actually is as well. Trying to go back to it fricking sucks. It got carried by Switch hype and the novelty of a big open world on a Nintendo system, something Nintendo had never really done before.
>the tendie thinks he's having a 1 to 1 conversation with the dev
>he keeps calling people schizos too
How I read sven's rambling, meandering twitter vomit:
>please pretend nintendo doesnt exist so that I can be right when i say no good console exclusives happened
>sven's face when he wrote this
xD
Remember 2018 or when the frick Sony and Xbox presented their first bunch for Ps5 and Sex?
Lmao, still none of that was either released or even good.
>Lmao, still none of that was either released or even good.
Wrong!
>please forget about any nintendo game and please forget about spiderman
>my game is the only game that exists and so its game of the gen
Nope. That's ER. Nice try.
>game of the n64 gen why that's mario 64 or Ocarina of time of course! whichever is your preference since they are both all time greats
>ummmm actually the switch doesnt have any good games and it doesnt count because its Nintendo!
Games are so bad. No real artform would have the same collective opinion of what the best film/book/album was of the last 5 years. Trying to further push people into only playing what the industry/game journalists say is "THE GAME" is down right anti-art.
>please please dont remember that zelda exists please please please
How can someone so high up at a video game dev pretend that nintendo hasnt made any games this gen?
Because nintendo hasn't made any good games this gen. They're a soulless shallow shell of their former selves, their golden age was a quarter of a century ago.
TOTK was mid and your average Nintendo meme platformer is literally made for children
and bg3 is made for gay furries
That's a lot of gay furries
Steam is full of gay and troon furries
>people on this board are still having mental breakdowns over BG3 selling as well as it did.
The actual fricking mindrot and autistic seething that this game selling well caused is why I think its probably the game of this generation
It's real fricking absurd just how much this game makes you homosexuals mad.
You will never be where ER is. Best game of the gen. Enjoy your silver medal.
Elden Ring was pretty great but the absolute SEETHING over BG3 is so illogical and exaggerated that theres clearly something there that makes people feel so threatened by it.
bg3 lost to ER in level of seethe produced here too. Sven just can't win.
>switch games dont count!
cope
I'm not saying they don't count but I am saying it's hard to even say whether or not switch should be included in current gen when its only capable of barely reaching last gen specs.
It came out mid console cycle and can't really compare to the PS5 or Xbox series x in terms of hardware or software capabilities. Switch still has a hard time with games reaching 1080p and 60 fps while docked
>it's hard to even say whether or not switch should be included in current gen
You're moronic. Just like Sven. Now bow to your Elden Ring god.
yeah
Yes.
Elden Ring comes close to that.
Forspoken is the game of the generation.
Death stranding 2 will save gaming
Sven is eternally assblasted that ER is the best game of the gen he has to ramble about exclusives like nintendo doesnt exist.
Sven is right. Just about the closest thing we've seen is botw and that's hard to really even classify as current gen since it came out for wii u and the switch itself came out 4 years into what most people would consider the last console cycle.
>ctrl+f mgs
>1 result, it's 4
Huh. I thought 2 was more influential than that.
For me Xenoblade 2 was one of best otaku games of all time but gameplay was shit.
>WAAAHHHHHH THERES TOO MANY GOOD GAMES TO CHOOSE FROM
>I CANT CHOOSE
weird thing to complain about but go off I guess.
Sven is a moron. I'm playing an amazing exclusive right now.
Not just swen, his entire team. His entire team couldn't think of anything partly because the shit you just posted fricking sucked. Have some goddamn standards.
Maybe his entire team should have stopped fapping to bears and played some actual games.
>Not just swen, his entire team doesnt know that switch exists and has multiple games higher rated than his
embarrasing, frankly. I hear bg3 is still a buggy unfinished mess too.
Sven is a moron.
Swen is right.
Swen is a Black person.
breath of the wild ez
Sven is the biggest moron in gaming. Who let this guy on twitter? Shut the frick up moron. Your game is not exclusive and it doesnt erase games that actually are.
Why does he pretend that botw doesnt exist.
I dont even know what his point is. Exclusives are bad? Exclusives arent needed? Exclusives dont exist? None of these are true.
When have western devs understood the first thing about games? This guy's claim to fame is an overbudgeted DAZ WEG, for god's sake.
It's Breath of the Wild. Nintendo slam-dunked a console exclusive early on and nobody's managed to get anything more relevant - It's got tons of imitators, it's got a sequel now, it's still the game people talk about the Switch for.
The fact that the Switch has extended two generations and it's still "the" console exclusive game is just embarrassing, really.
Mogged by Genshin

>It's got tons of imitators
Bruh, BotW itself was an imitator of the open-world titles which had been popping up on PC.
>It's got tons of imitators
Utterly delusional. It has a gacha game, an ubisoft game and nothing else. Open worlds were a dime a dozen after minecraft and skyrim. Botw is just another one chasing after those two and they killed zelda to do it.
Hello moron I'm here to BTFO you
Now the count is two. Two games better than bg3. Botw, and the game that Botw inspired.
Sven will never get over zelda being more relevant than his game
The only time Zelda has been more irrelevant than it is now was after SS. TotK was forgotten about 2 weeks after release.
>as he posts in a thread where dozens of people have named totk as an amazing exclusive to prove sven's dumbass wrong that no good exclusives exist
>dozens of people
Nintendo fans aren't "people"
Tendie cultists aren't people and a few them shitting themselves in rage spamming the thread doesn't mean anything. What does mean something is TotK being a massive disappointment that people dropped and forgot about shortly after launch.
>NOO THAT DOESNT COUNT
this entire thread in a nutshell. This doesnt count that doesnt count nothing counts until bg3 is the best game ever made.
I don't even like BG3 that much, not my kind of game, I just respect a hell of a lot more than TotK, which was utter slop.
I can't respect any game that steals money in early access for 3 years and still releases unfinished. totk released and everyone raved about how polished it was. BG3 was a bug fest. broken questlines. A bug removed 1500 lines of dialogue from a party member. lmao
Yeah, and still more respectable because they were making an actual game and not a cowardly cashgrab $70 DLC. Maybe Nintendo should've done the same in those 7 years.
Typical PC gamers fricking the industry up by paying for unfinished games.
> bg3 is the best game ever made.
this thread is about the CONSOLE game ever of the generation, illiterate moron
BG3 isn't even part of the discussion, but console fanboys are seething so hard they're lashing out everything.
Nothing's part of the discussion when you pretend all the exclusives dont exist. Or you're autistic like
and wont shut the frick up about the master system of all things.
>NOOOOOOO YOU CANT POINT OUT THE HYPOCRISY
cope
>captcha: 2GAP
>unhinged rant about completely unrelated topic continues
Doesnt change the fact that switch exists. It's current gen. And it has multiple exclusives better than bg3 which supposedly has a massive advantage being multiplat.
bg3 has nothing to do with this, tendie
Swen literally namedrops BG3 as if it'd be the game in contention to be the game of the generation you moron.
switch belongs to the same gen as ps4 just as the wii u belongs to the same gen as ps3.
its not current gen anymore anon, sorry the truth upsets you.
He's right.
>wii u is the same gen as switch
Pretty wild hi-fi rush is becoming a last gen game next week
>there's not one but 2 zelda games that completely destroy svens entire observation
It happened back in 2018 with RDR2, and it will happen again next year with GTA6.
Forget trying to name "THE" game, try to name ANY game on the Xbox or PS that is both exclusive and good. You can't, because those consoles don't have any games.
Why pretend good exclusives dont exist?
How does this sell more bg3? That game isnt exclusive either. Shouldnt he be trying to qualify this in a way that makes his game sound better than ER the actual game he competes with as a multiplat?
He doesnt compete with nintendo and so he thinks they dont exist and nobody buys their games.
Why are nintendo cultists so incapable of understanding that their system's games really aren't anything special? Broaden your horizons, drones. You've confined yourselves to abject mediocrity.
>Swen
moron name
>t. Sheldon
Elden Ring is a good game but saying that open world dark souls is the game that defined this generation really highlights the absolute state of the current generation
It got normies to play it and enjoy it, and it’s simultaneously a solid 9.5/10. It’s a defining game for the medium of gaming much less the generation. It’s on mount rushmore
More normies play and engage with videogames than in any time in history, true. But the problem is how to get a Normie and turn them into Fans. A Normie has no concept of quality to measure with, no loyalty for a brand to exploit, no passion with the medium to engage with.
You can't build communities with Normies. All you have is a crowd of people, a number, a statistic.
What the frick is your pic supposed to mean?
Agreed, but how do describe the problem with the current generation when some people were not even alive when said "generational titles" existed? Even the very video game industry has changed drastically since the first PS1 or even as late as the XBone/PS4, for instance nowadays you don't have people making a stink about physical media for games.
BG3 is literally a topdown 2D game with 3D graphics. It's less impressive than Super Mario 64 or any game that properly uses its 3D environment.
>swen: no good exclusives this gen
>me when i look at the top rated games of all time
Oh look at that. Two games from this gen and neither are bg3.
>Two
only 1, and that a Mario, aka bonus point up the ass.
COPE homosexual I DONT SEE BG3 THERE ITS DOWN BELOW WITH ALL THE 96 SLOP
I never talked about bg3, you tendies are actually insane.
You didnt mention bg3 because IT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO BE IN THAT PICTURE
OK? what do this have to do with anything? are you ok?
Both have massive bonus points up the ass. BotW started 9/10, dropped to a 6/10 once you realized just how barren, broken and copy pasted the world actually was, and ended a 4/10 with one of the worst final bosses of all time. Odyssey was basically the equivalent of korok seeds: the game and barely had any platforming.
>no bg3 in sight
>SIX FRICKING NINTENDO GAMES
Sven is so fricking mad lmao There's no good console exclusives anymore... except for 2 nintendo games that are higher rated than mine... but uh... those dont count.
I just love these threads where homosexuals pretend zelda and ER arent amazing.
No one under 30 cares about Zelda
sad news, rules 1 and 2
>what is Nintendo Switch
Fricking morons
There hasn't been a console exclusive to be that in multiple generations.
Botw
end thread.
Swen is an idiot.
>Botw
this is a WIIU game
thats literally a last generation game, fricking moron
>people ITT thinking Switch is 9th gen
lol
lmao
>swen pretends switch doesnt exist: the thread
What a suprise the furry porn game was made by a moronic schizo. This guy should just be assasinated so we can have a better world.
Least neurotic tendiedrone
>switch
>9th gen
What is Nintendo's 9th gen console then? moron-sama?
simple, there isn't one, they are skipping the generation in exchange for extended support of the Switch. homosexual
>They're skipping the generation
>The console that is currently on the market competing with the PS5 and the Xbox Series X doesn't exist.
Your brain on Ganker.
>competing = being the generation
The Sega Master System was a 3rd generation console but it managed to survive even through 4th generation consoles and in some regions lasts still today
Does that make it a 4th generation console (or even 9th) or a 3rd generation console?
You didn't play the game and TotK is Zelda for mobile tier babies. Yk what BG3 has that Zeldont? Dungeons.
Christ you're such a childish homosexual. Refer back to what's written in stone.
I see zelda here. I do not see bg3. Because it was not good enough to placed in company of these 12 best games of all time.
Yeah cause Tony Hawk and GTA are some of the greatest games of all time? Only a moron would point to some chart instead of justifying it with their own opinion and experiences. But you can't do that, cause you didn't play both games like I did homosexual.
My facts dont care about your opinions.
Your facts are irrelevant and don't belong in such a discussion. Ocarina of Time belongs there because the dungeons are fun, TotK does not because the entire game can be circumvented with op tools made for morons like you. Very simple.
>facts are irrelevant, my feelings are what matter
You and sven are like little girls. Botw will stay in that top spot above bg3 and there is nothing you can do about it.
no real dungeons
higher rated than bg3 while being a dirty exclusive that you pretend doesnt exist.
>calling others pretenders while blatantly pretending Wii U doesn't exist
LOL
LMAO
>blatantly pretending Wii U doesn't exist
I dont need to pretend anything. Wii u is last gen. Switch is current gen. Switch has multiple games better than bg3 which is a israeli multiplat owned 1/3 by the chinese government.
>Switch has multiple games better than bg3
As a Switch owner, no it really doesn't although it does have a high volume of good games
>Switch has multiple games better than bg3
which one?
What defines a new generation?
If you can't answer this you are filtered and Switch belongs with PS4 and X1 and Wii U 😉
just like the Sega Master System belongs to gen 3 despite heavily competing with 4th gen consoles 😉
>What defines a new generation?
The company that makes the console.
nobody says that the Switch is the first 9th gen console despite releasing 3 years earlier than Series X and PS5
Nobody says that because it's already obvious. Wii U didn't stop existing just because it flopped
You really can't form a single original thought or justification of your own can you, sad. BG3 is fun through its entirety, nu-Zelda is fun for the first few hours until you realize everything is the same shit. I'm not a moron that considers petty words like exclusivity cause I play everything on PC and my Switch is collecting dust.
Ohhh shit guys he brought the facts, forgive me. Guess I'll drop my other games and go play GTA!
the last guardian says hi
>switch is last gen
Every day this board gets more and more moronic and now they are being pushed even further by an unhinged Polish homosexual who made a multiplat game and claims exclusives dont exist.
It should be illegal for swen to talk about games that arent bg3. It's clear he has no idea what goes on in the games industry. No current gen exclusives exist? Shut the frick up dude.
I mean those guys basically answer questions they're being asked, it's not like he decides on his own to talk about it.
It's a twitter post. He shouldnt be on there if he's going to lie.
I'm guessing he didn't like Elden Ring and thought it was just more of the same, never mind its scope.
Nah
This guy is of the kind that just dislikes japanese games on principle.
He's a euro dev making janky CRPGs, his tastes are razor thin.
To all moronic Black folk in here: Switch is both 8th and 9th generation. Nintendo didn't need to release another because PS5 and XSXS were both DoA. For that reason, there are easily 10 games from Nintendo that came be considered for that generation. Cope, seeth, dilate, kys; whatever makes you frick off. Deal with it.
The switch is current Gen.
The switch has great exclusives.
The ps5 is current gen.
The ps5 has some great exclusives.
Swen is an idiot and seems to only think of xbox.
Switch is not current gen, it competes with current gen but that does not make it part of it.
>Switch is not current gen
A lie is a lie no matter how many times it is repeated.
>yeah because wiiu was flop
This has absolutely nothing to do with the switch being current gen with new games still coming out.
Okay then
Sega Master System is actually a 4th generation console despite being 3rd gen because it competed with 4th gens
>The switch is current Gen.
>The ps5 has some great exclusives.
why do you lie
why are people so hung up on console exclusives?
be glad you're not forced to buy 4 different devices to play the games you want and pick the platform you like the most
>all of nintendo's newest games are coming out on the switch and nowhere else
>but the switch is not current gen
The copes get more and more ridiculous. People want nintendo to fail so badly but they are doing better than ever before.
anwser the question
is the Master System 3rd gen or 4th gen?
it was in the same situation as the Switch is.
Who brought up master system?
Frick off moron.
>This poster is mad that bg3 isnt good enough to be in that picture
no argument? So concession accepted, Switch is 8th gen just like Master System was 3rd gen
If you cannot argue in favor of Master System being 4th gen then the Switch isn't 9th gen.
>This poster is mad that bg3
>bringing up bg3 out of nowhere.
cope all you want but metacritic is a meme and only morons use it to determine the absolute quality of a game.
>b-b-b-but THE SALES???
Wait so Wii wasn't a 7th gen system?
These gen autists can't even define the gens that they cry so heavily about. They just need an excuse to pretend the switch doesnt exist and nintendo doesnt have 2 more games higher rated than bg3 this gen alone.
BG3 isnt console exclusive you fricking moron, stop bringing it up, Swen said it doesn't count either
READ Black person
botw
Also, botw is higher rated than bg3.
Thread has been over for a long time
botw isnt 9th gen
Wii U had it, stop pretending that console didn't exist
this dude has his head up his ass if he thinks BG3 is anywhere as great as people claims it is, lol. it reminds me of botw fans callingi t the greatest game ever made and shit lol. its literally just dragon age but worse
breath of the wild?
Honestly the idea of a generation being defined by an infantile product like Zelda is hilariously regressive .
God why was BotW so good bros?
>sven will never get over zelda and mario being better than his game
>but I bought all the journalists... This can't be, I was supposed to get a 100... How is Botw above me...
console game of the generation is a dumb idea swen you stupid frick fix and finish bg3
what you're going to put a roadblock up because a game might be on PC? in the generation where there is the most parity between pc and console (and therefore consistent PC/console multiplatform release)
dumb as frick. whats the point
dark souls is the most important game since gta 3
How would he know? BG3 is a visual novel, I wouldn't trust this gay to know what a good video game is.
This thread made me realize that tendies, lariangays and fromsofties are mentally incapable to do decent game discussions.
Because decent discussions require intellectual honesty.
If you think the Switch is primarily a handheld, then no, there is no good exclusive across the 9th gen consoles.
I never realized how ASSBLASTED nintendies were about bg3, god damn what a thread.
it was hard for me to accept that Zelda sucks now too, but they'll come around eventually (unless they're the only ones they've played, what a miserable existence)
Spoke too soon b***h. Stellar Blade is going to save the PS5
>swen thread
>slav can't support any devs
>wants all games to be early access slop where player pay to play alpha versions of your game and even when you release it years later its still not finished
Never trust them, they aren't white after all.
based swen, one of us
Monoculture is dead, there will never be another era defining artist, song, genre, game, movie, tv show,... It was died in the second half of the 00s as the internet took over.
It's no surprise that he didn't give examples of games he'd consider "the game" of the last generation, that's because he'd get a shitload of pushback from people who think it's another game.
>Good exclusives dont exist anymore!
Anything on the switch, spiderman, god of war, ghost of tushima, Returnal, multiple final fantasies, uncharted
>but none of those are THE exclusive of the gen!
That doesnt exist. You made up a term that has never existed. The best N64 exclusive existed side by side with the best PS1 exclusive and they dont invalidate each other by simply existing.
Stop making up terms to make BG3 sound better.
It's cause of covid. This'll be remembered as a lost generation of gaming.
>Switch is a 9th gen console according to tendies because games are still being made for it
>despite having the same performance as it had in 2017 (3 years before the actual introduction of 9th gen consoles)
>many new multiplatform games being forced to downgrade to be able to run on it
>receiving 0 meaningful upgrades since introduction, making the 3DS look like a completely different console to its predecessor DS
>all 2021+ Switch games are effectively being held back on 2017 hardware unable to be improved other than with PC emulation
You think generations are defined by power? The Wii would like to have a word with you.
Sega Master System is then a 4th gen console despite being made in 3rd gen because just like the Switch, it competed with higher gen consoles
in reality, everyone says its a 3rd gen despite this fact.
i dont care what you think about the master sytem. The switch is current gen. It is the newest console made by nintendo receiving all of the new games that nintendo makes.
blatant double standards
Suck on it homosexual.
I saw your totk emu threads the entire first month was nothing but morons asking how to fix shit that their emulator fricked up. You didnt play the game.
concession accepted
Switch is a 8th gen just like the Master System is a 3rd gen despite both competing with its successors of rival companies
And emulating the game on a half-functioning emulator is still superior to how it runs on real hardware.
None of this matters. The switch is the current nintendo console receiving all the new and current games.
You seem to be living in a fantasy world where switch two already came out.
>despite having the same performance as it had in 2017 (3 years before the actual introduction of 9th gen consoles)
You're confused. The Switch is a 9th gen console so the introduction of 9th gen consoles is in 2017, not 2020.
>every single article, source, person, company, entity saying 9th gen began 2020
>"nah believe me it started in 2017"
holy denial
single article, source, person, company, entity saying 9th gen began 2020
such as...?
Please find the quote of someone at nintendo saying Wii U and switch are the same gen.
Please find the quote that Niᥒtend𐐬 says its a 9th gen. the burden of proof is on you, if anything Nintend𐐬 treats it as its own thing. (they never stated which generation it belonged to because they dont fricking care)
>"you can't include BG3"
clearly you cannot read
>(they never stated which generation it/switch belonged to because they dont fricking care)
wrong. they do. thats why they dont take part in the consolewars anymore after GC because they don't want to compete out in the open without getting mogged by the competition. its why their games have stagnated ever since the start of the Switch era. the Wii U actually tried competing and while it flopped hard, still has more respect by the gaming community because the console ended up having its entire library used to marketed its piece of shit successor.
>wrong. they do.
Then surely you can back that up with a source.
>they don't want to compete out in the open without getting mogged by the competition
Switch is about to become the best selling console of all time. Microsoft is about to shut down and sony is about to go multiplat.
For the XSX/PS5 generation? Yeah, there hasn't been one.
There hasnt been one there's been several.
>but its not THE one
What the frick does that even mean? Multiple great games can't exist? Well then by that logic bg3 is not THE one baldurs gate game. That's bg2.
Shin Megami Tensei V is THE game of the generation. Everyone else shut the frick up
This is an 8th gen game
>november 2021 release
Clearly not.
Date has nothing to do with generations
STFU and take the L. shin megami tensei won
generations are on a console by console basis. When a new console is made its a new gen. I dont want to hear copes about dead companies how they fricked up in the 90's.
>exclusives? nope never heard of them
>nintendo, who's that?
>spiderman? what's that?
>final fantasy? I dont understand
Oh sven.
Botw exists Sven. Nice try
Yeah it exists and swen says it's not good enough.
No he's saying it doesn't count as 9th gen because of his convenient arbitrary standards
No he's saying it's not good enough. Switch is still current gen, power has nothing to do with it.
>No he's saying it's not good enough.
I see botw here. I dont see bg3. Sven is a salty b***h.
Sven makes games, journalists just suck publisher and fanboy wiener to stay relevant. They're pussies terrified of an 8.8 repeat.
Sven's game got mogged by two switch games.
power has everything to do with it otherwise as pointed several times, the Sega Master System would end up in the same position as the Switch but nobody agrees its a 4th gen
you are delusional
You're desperately trying to argue semantics but not even you believe your own cope.
You are completely ignoring my argument which is absolutely valid and extremely similar to the current situation
a last gen console competing with future gen consoles
Because your argument is stupid. The switch is active during this gen, making it current gen, it's that simple.
Swen is a pathetic doomer.
>all this talk about it being the beginning of the end
Swen is a pathetic doomer confirmed. Has to pretend exclusives dont exist and there arent any good ones just to stay sane. He must pull up the metacritic all timer page every day to see if Bg3 overtook Botw yet. Every day is a disappointment.
