All the signals are here for a new crash that will cost the video game industry to plummet:
>Shitload of glitchy/unfinished AAA games that are sold at 60-70, needs updates to become actually good (i.e Cyberpunk)
>Absurdly moronic amount of DLCs for games (any online multiplayer games)
>Re-releases of remakes or reboots (Sony)
>Overpriced skins (Capcom)
>Lottery based games, already been in some case reglemented by governmental organizations (EA/2K Pack openers games vs European Union)
>Overpriced components (PC Gaming)
>moronly overpriced mouth subscription fees for online service (XBOX, Sony)
>Politically motivated/Agenda pushing games (Sony/Microsoft)
>Companies that milk on Nostalgia (Nintendo)
We reach the point of non return.
Now Rockstar will drop the one nail that will make the whole bubble by selling a FRICKING BASE GAME FOR 150$, Which other companies will follow.
Consider the gaming industry dead or at least in the same state as the early-mid 80s aka the video game crash that almost killed gaming till Super Mario Bros was dropped by 2030. It's inevitable. Unless people come to their sense and refuse to buy a fricking game for 150$, literally the price if a game console back in like 2010s, so not so long ago, it's ogre.
Screencap this fricking thread. It's happening.
2 sentences or less thanks champ
WTF is that real?
>Black folk
>in mexican house
the homies
finally, i'll have time to finish my backlog without being tempted by new goyslop for a few years
your mistake is assuming the first crash has a similar gaming, economic, and consumer landscape to today, to make a 2nd crash plausible...newsflash, it aint
even if it's the worst game ever other devs will continue to pump out loads of games with shitty transactions. your favorite games will get lamer sequels prequels, and remakes. fortnite will allow you to do your taxes in the epic launcher. cope
>newsflash, it aint
pfft ha ha
>Now Rockstar will drop the one nail that will make the whole bubble by selling a FRICKING BASE GAME FOR 150$
I really hope they do this, because the game will undoubtably flop everywhere outside the american market. I assure you that there IS indeed a limit to what normies are willing to tolerate, and a 100-150 dollar price tag is way beyond that.
I mean, making new gen games standard price
80 dollars was already crazy, I don't know how they will justify this.
It wont, all the poor people will take out loans lmao
then they honestly deserve everything bad that happens to them. If the game has a price tag of anywhere above 80, I'm not buying or playing at any fricking point.
They dont care they have thousands who still play online and have pumped hundreds on sharkcards times a million. For some gta is all they play. The lower class make up most of its fanbase of which theres hundreds of millions worldwide even billions.
>because the game will undoubtably flop everywhere outside the american market
GTAV has sold 2-3 million in Japan.
>the game will undoubtably flop everywhere outside the american market
This is gta though.
It will not be $150 they want people to get the base game so they can sell endless micro transactions, I do think if it’s really woke it will get a bud lite level boycott, I doubt it will be broken unfinished mess because rockstar has no track record of this, it will probably be disappointing I bet it won’t improve on GTAV enough like it won’t have enough immersive new features just be a prettier GTAV with more realistic feeling nature areas
Rockstar's strategy for GTA V has been to sell the base game for cheap so they get as many copies out there as possible and make most money from shark cards.
You are beyond moronic.
I unironically believe this will be the most profitable entertainment product of all time when it comes out.
i-is he okay?
Better off just getting a taxidermist to do it
but then you have to gut the poor guy and embalm it.
That's the taxidermists job and you clearly don't do it while he's still alive.
That's fricked.
Interesting that you chose not to call it a video game, but an "entertainment product".
I suppose that's the state the industry is in.
I used it because entertainment is a wider category than video games, schizobro.
Why would call it that when we're talking about vidya specifically.
It's very obvious why I did, you're just dumb.
>FRICKING BASE GAME FOR 150$
Based
it will filter millions and make the game better
>game having less players = better game
?????
you posted that in the thee other thread.
yeah I do not want poor people leeching off my p2p lobby in online.
>Playing with other humans, who WILL make your gaming experience worse
You get what you deserve Anon, it is quite literally what you signed up for when you wanted to interact with others:
Human interactions. Which are terrible.
unless they change online drastically there are ways to stop poors from entering your lobby.
any evidence Rockstar plans on shipping the game out with such a hefty price tag? or are you just pulling shit out your ass?
I think nothings confirmed, but T2's CEO did come out a few weeks ago and say something like he believes that games should be priced in a metric of "dollars per hour" like the massive israelite he is, causing speculation.
He has since KIND OF backpedaled, but the statement is there.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2023/11/11/gta-6s-publisher-says-video-games-should-theoretically-be-priced-at-dollars-per-hour/?sh=765c610473f7
This reminds me of the EA head saying he wishes to "charge players for each bullet". aka outlandish pipedreams that will never happen.
they won't happen until they see a window of opportunity and the consumer base becomes complacent enough. The day you allow this shit to slide is the day it becomes a reality.
>he believes that games should be priced in a metric of "dollars per hour"
it's been a long time but I remember beating gta v's campaign very quickly so if it's anything like that the game should be like 30 bucks.
just 2 more weeks an 2 years until the big crash
FINALLY!!!
>He believes the shitty rumors for the price of a game that will be released in a year and a half
You are like all these chuds waiting for the 'big reset' shit isn't it?
2 more weeks every week, still waiting
I like how the OP implies that Nintendo has a reasonable online service model
Not happening
the only thing that can cause a video game industry crash is a world war
>>>This piece of crap will cause a second crash in the video game industry.: All the signals are here for a new crash that will cost the video game industry to plummet:
I really hope you're right OP. It needs to crash again.
>Screencap this fricking thread. It's happening.
I only screencap if the post in question is funny.
Why do you want it to NOT crash? Maybe it NEEDS to crash, ever think about that?
Nah, this shit larping sim receives updates and people can play it for months
i hope the next world war decimates vidya industry completely
>next world war
Will literally never happen again
you are delusional, tensions are everywhere right now, new Hitler will emerge any day
tensions have been a thing since the cold war anon, by that logic the world is always on the edge of apocalypse
And during the cold war full blown conflict was very narrowly averted, but that doesn't compare to the present situation where globalists push, provoke and rape people more and more every day
Nope, last one was so traumatic and destructive that no one is going to risk that level of shit ever again. Nukes reinforce this.
Sorry, all you're ever going to get from here on out is gay little proxy wars where the superpowers use smaller nations to wiener fight whilst pouring as much money and weapons into their preferred side.
The US is fit for the bin, anon.
Doesn't matter, It's not going to happen. No other nation on earth can match its military might, Ukraine has proven this.
>No other nation on earth can match its military might
except some rice farmers in south asia kek
Now we're going to have people who have no idea how military and war work make claims that the US lost / won the Vietnam war.
You people really don't understand the nature of guerrilla warfare, do you? We lost not a SINGLE engagement and exterminated them by the millions... Vietnam caused zero real damage to the US whatsoever.
It's less a "loss" and more like we just got bored and went home, same with Afghanistan, we exterminated an entire generation's worth of your people.
You didn't "win" you survived the fricking culling.
You failed your objective
You lost
End of story
Our objective was to kill as many of the frickers as possible and we accomplished it
Cope
You lost
For what purpose? It seems your country does useless things that don’t go anywhere for no reason.
China spent 2 trillion on high speed rail. America spent 2 trillion promoting Black person worship in Afghanistan (which didn’t succeed)
With 2 trillion you could have literally built a 2nd NYC from scratch
Seez what did I say? Two non-knowers arguing over who could be more wrong. Talk about videogames and stop learning pop history from cartoon YouTube channels.
>fence sitting homosexual
You're a coward and most importantly, ya ain't as smart as you think, boy.
Vietnam was a hair's breadth away from losing. Murrica only let them live out of pity.
Sure, thats what they tell themselves to feel better about losing to farmers
and russia was non stop fed money by the germanoids and rest of the EU for past few decades, whats your point?
If the enemy accomplished their goal, and you didn’t accomplish yours, what do you call that?
they didnt THOUGH
Lmao Ukraine has been fed nonstop with weapons by the west, alongside officers from other armies training their men
Ukraine is just a US Proxy figthing against Russia
I know that, moron. That's why I said
Western people are extremely pussufied and domesticated right now, that's true, but what will be common consensus in a few generations or centuries, suffering economical collapses and racial humiliation will make the tables turn
You didn't fulfill your objective of stopping communism means you lost you also lost at korea.
>Korea
The United Nations achieved its goals in Korea, the Chinese and North did not. In Vietnam, the United States put itself in a no-win situation by fighting a war to maintain status quo against an opponent that was ideologically opposed to anything but a homegrown leader. That said, when the US left, the status quo was still held for a couple of years after the fact. And after the North conquered the South, a united Vietnam ended up in a war with China, and became fast friends with the US, something that is still maintained to this day. It's far more complex than a binary win/lose.
That being said, this is a Grand Theft Auto thread, so I'm going to ask this one important question. Will Rick Ross have his own radio station?
With Laslow gone i dont think so
A World War will not happen unless there’s a monetary incentive for the big power players to do so.
People went after Hitler because he attacked the banks, not for any ideological reasons.
>Will literally never happen again
It will. It's rumored to be against mudslimes and the islamic state (and it's all Murrica's fault for spreading Islam of course)
I doubt it.
Modern gamers have terminal Stockholm Syndrome and can never get enough goyslop, there's no going back.
Look at how many fricking people fell for the Day Before scam- hook line and sinker, and tell me there's any hope of the industry ever getting what it deserves.
GTA is the antithesis of slop, they're technological benchmarks
doesn't equal good game
Its gonna make so much money Rockstar probably won't release another game until 2035
try 2050
i totally expect it to disappointing garbage like Starfield
yeah man gta 6 will flop etc etc sure still preordering it
Gee it would be a shame if somebody derailed a videogame thread into /misc/ bullshit again
>GTA 6 mindbreaking TORtanic trannies so hard they want a world war
KEKYPOW!
>I don't like this popular thing because I think it makes me look cool
>Wants a whole industry to fricking tank
>defending big corpo shit that ruined the hobby
North Korea and North Vietnam lost a HELL of a lot more fighting than anything they ever gained by "winning"
yeayea
2 more weeks and shit.
GTA6, under no circumstance will ever lead to a decline in the videogame industry. It will sell tens of millions of copies day one, it will make billions upon billions of dollars, and it will end up near - universally beloved by players, critics, hardcores, and casuals alike. Thinking GTA will lead to a crash is like thinking Toyota will lead to a car industry collapse
The bigger they are...
The more difficult it is to bring them down. In the extremely unlikely scenario that videogames even near collapse, the Federal Government would step in to prevent that, just like they did with the auto industry, and they constantly do with the airline industry.
>Consider the gaming industry dead or at least in the same state as the early-mid 80s aka the video game crash that almost killed gaming
Never happened outside USA, so why I should even care again?
>Crash in the industry
Any day now!
Will it do all that though?
It's more a symptom or reflection of the current situation, both online and off.
Will a doubling of the entry fee necessarily cause the entire damned ship to crash? Other possible consequences exist here.
>shitload of glitchy unfinised AAA games that require updates
Cyberpunk was a star example. A permanent, black hole stain on the AAA process- but that's just early-access games in triple-A form, isn't it? If that many small teams and lone wolves can pull that shit on Steam, why can't somebody like cd-project do too? Because it's that more damning when it's a famous studio? Sure- if your values lie that way. They got away with it, up to a meagre point- I'm not that familiar with the whole mess. I know it was a goldmine on launch and that it got an anime and a patch made; both were received well, it looks like.
>absurdly moronic amounts of DLC
Spread the word: don't buy it
And while you're at it, make sure you're not playing another Skinner box- from the get-go. Don't wait til you're knee-deep in cosmetics, pay-to-win power creep and degenerate weebshit. Yes, I know this hole in the wall started as an anime website. I said what I said. Fite me.
>Re-releases and reboots
Whoever it is.. you don't have to like it. You don't have to take part in it. There's gonna be people talking about things you don't give an especial shit about pretty much anywhere you go, unless you like sitting a circle and chanting like a monkey (nothing wrong with that inherently but, dosage, dosage)
So a re-release or reboot 'buries' or 'eclipses' your favorite game/s. You can keep talking about the originals, and time will judge which of the two deserves to be forgotten, from neither to both. If you're that confident that the original is the best, then your day will come.
>Overpriced skins
Can you humor the people who aren't sure how you're deciding what a fair price for a skin is? where is it over the line? Asking for a frend.
Yeah, if you want all the skins in SF6 you need to pay something like a hundred yurops.
Do you have to have them all, like some kind of things-lemming? Are you going to play every single character so much that the skins available on launch are going to get on your nerves? C'mon now. Buy two. Other people will buy two. You'll see the entire roster's new kit anyway, even if you don't buy a single one.. but this is better aimed at people that disagree with you, isn't it?
>lottery-based games
Oh I'm sure these will cause a crash in the market! The games that are built on the logical fundamentals of the establishments which are built in turn on native burial sites! Think a severed, desiccated rabbit's foot is lucky? Try a whole swamp-ass graveyard. You don't stand a chance.. so play once in a blue moon, when you feel like hoping for something miraculous to happen.
>overpriced components
see above, first point
>fair price for a skin
microtransactions should not be in any game at all you israeliteed moron.
>No; get slurred b***h
All right then dipshit
>If that many small teams and lone wolves can pull that shit on Steam, why can't somebody like cd-project do too?
Because the indies on steam usually advertise that they're selling a game in early access whilst cdpr didnt?
I do think it will cost about 80 bucks and then other companies will try to copy that price point.
Nah, gaymurrs are too cucked, especially millenials and zoomers.
I mean CDPR is getting their dick sucked left and right for finishing a game 3 years after release. Selling broken products at full price is the norm now and reviewers give vidya bonus points for not including scummy microtransactions.
There will never be a fricking crash. Mutts have ruined it.
>SURELY THIS GAME WILL START THE SECOND VIDYA CRASH - says increasingly jaded and depressed Gankervirgin for the 90th time
y'all need to give it a rest. ya never gonna get this glorious crash and rebirth that some gay on Ganker sold you on.
Nah you'll just get mediocre devs saying shit like for baldy 3 and Zelda tiktok
>this game SHOULDN'T EXIST
>it's a MIRACLE
>how did they DO IT??
>GTA6 is proof devs shouldn't be RUSHED and make decade sequels THE NORM
>All the signals are here for a new crash that will cost the video game industry to plummet:
i fricking wish i have wanted the tourists to frick for for a decade now but a crash has still not cleansed my hobby.
>Politically motivated/agenda pushing games
Nothing to see here. Always has been. You were just too young to know or care.
>Nostalgia
Punching down are we?
You want the main thrust?
Let's say you get what you want.
You get to swim in (you)s like a gruesome scrooge mcduck, gloating over you told us all so, you have the screencap to prove it..
Or, an unexpected and immense enough number of consumers have a sudden change of heart about playing games forever - maybe they take your post seriously - and you get your crash sooner than you expect, and nobody's around to watch or care about your glass-half-full-of-shit prediction.
You know what's likely to happen if it crashes?
All the business people dip and don't touch it for, let's say a decade, and they tell their friends in other sectors that the client base is a volatile and risky affair over there in McFricken Nerd Land.
You're left with a bunch of broke creatives who have been coasting on exploitative, shameless, lucrative, 'souless', and perhaps straight up predatory, even parasitic practices and aren't all that juiced-up any more from all the money they're wiping their asses with- and that's with a fraction of what The Man gets.
So they learn less than they could have learned and start from scratch.
I'll screencap it, sure kid.
>Punching down are we?
can you even pretend to not be a tourist no one outside a university or reddit talk's like that.
Oh hello, you must be a native. What's it like being an incompetent toady?
I can see your face reading the posts going 'why isnt this guy reddit spacing goddamn' and then you get.. how the frick is 'punching down' reddit. This isn't the shut-in warren you think it is. You want to talk in monosyllabic expletives and canned, auto-cynical bitter lemon responses for the rest of your shitty, homosexual life?
Weird you'd chose rockstar as the catalyst for this. They've never made a bad game. One of the most consistent companies out there, if not the only one left. I've faith this game will do very well.
Same. They never disappoint.
150$? No it won't cost that. 70-80$ is maximum.
To be honest GTA is one of those games which is worth at least 100$. I have no doubt the game will be amazing, singleplayer or online. GTA V was a big success online I can't imagine VI being worse than that.
Also pic rel. Rockstar will bank billions of dollars.
Gta was re-released like 3 times wasnt it? So the 185million sales wont happen with 6 nowhere near that.
mutts really love their console slop, dont they
>This piece of crap will cause a second crash in the video game industry
There was never a first crash. The American videogame market crashed because they kept producing shit. The European and Japanese markets were never affected.
>I'm op and I don't understand inflation because I'm retarted
Are they saying that?
How many Chinese bug men infest these boards?
The thing which baffles me is how GTA is constantly top watched game on twitch, everytime i check its larp and moronics shouting to mic, why zoomers love watching this boring trash i will never know
RP can be funny when its not taken too seriously
Despite how dogshit cyberpunk was at launch it still got assloads of preorder money. Same shit will apply to GTAVI too
>genuinely unironically believing the $150 price tag """"""""leaks""""""""
actual brain disease
They will believe all the ''leaks'' that makes them mad while saying the actually believable ones are fake. They're addicted to outrage
Yeah, and companies employ marketers to say stupid shit like that and keep people talking. It's two years away, and if you want it to fail, it's not.
the industry will never crash we're not in the 80s making movie tie-in games for specific architectures with only a handful of publishers anymore, homosexual
Frick me you guys are moronic. Skynet is more likely at this rate than le video game crash.
why is Ganker so moronic ?
Because you post here
if its twice as much they only need half the people to buy it
plus those that buy it are more likely to have extra spending money for ingame stuff
i dont like it but whatever, good cheap games come out every year
