            I can't imagine how. The modern multiplayer experience is so streamlined and sanitized that you might as well be playing with bots.

            The best multiplayer online gaming experience I've ever had was during the first few years of Everquest back when a nice gaming pc, internet connection, and subscription fee were still a good enough entry barrier to keep most of the trash out of the game. It's only been downhill since then.

                I don't think you understand my point. Fortnite could be a single player game you play with bots and the experience wouldn't change much, especially for kids. Just because it's "online" doesn't mean that it has any kind of meaningfully interactive multiplayer experience.

While it's true that modern games, its culture and things to look forward to may not be what you like anymore or even if it is doesn't matter. All of the old games still exist. You don't need to engage in discourse, online games that ban you for shit or any of this modern day cancer you can play decades worth of old games, new games that you do like and they'll all play better than ever often for free or for very cheap so enough with the cynicism, every day is a golden age of gaming because games don't disappear they only get cheaper and easier to access as well as enhance.

      These aren't exhaustive lists of the notable games that came out those years, merely a snippet of what a normal year in gaming used to look like. Go look up what games came out those years and then come back and tell me any recent year has been great.

        This is what killed E3. Anytime they should a new game that might seem good to you, didn't get excited because you kept two things on the back of your mind:
        1) It is going to come out broken and buggy and it will be at least a full year after it comes out before it will even be playable.
        2)It it has $200+ worth of expansions and DLC planned ahead of time. If you want to save many you are going to be waiting 2-3 full years after the game is already out, fully patched and finally done with all its planned content. And then you have to wait for a deep sale if you don't want to spend over $100 on the actual full game.

                You cherry-pick two games from one list and force a comparison to another two cherry-picked games from another trying to bend the argument in your favor.

                They aren't one-to-one "the same" but they are comparable. And the lists have plenty of games that are not on this level.
                Not to mention, MGS2 is "iconic" but it's neither impactful nor innovative. No one is copying MGS2 because if you don't slap the name of Kojimbo on a 6-hour cutscene people want "play" it. And books, movies, and visual novels existed long before MGS2. Saying it's "innovative" is like saying BotW is "innovative" when it's just recycling ideas.

                No you didn't pick them because of [OBJECTIVE FACTORS]
                You picked them because of the personal preference.
                Or, more accurately, because of your biases as you don't really play games.

                is only "derivative" in the sense it's not the first ever game made in its exact format. It's the second one and it does a lot to develop the genre further.

                You can't say that because you have no idea what my references in video games are. You're just making the assumption that I only like old games.
                >as you don't really play games.
                Considering I'm playing a game right now I'd say otherwise.

                >as both got popular because they were experimenting
                The problem is that neither are particularly experimental. It takes two for example is multiplayer only where both players are required to work together to get to the end, along with a mishmash of other mechanics.
                I mean, there are Mario party minigames based on a similar co-op concept. Adding more mechanics to it doesn't suddenly make it more experimental.
                I'm pretty sure there was a game with you guys in jail that did something similar too.
                Loop Hero on the other hand is just a basic deck builder style game but on a loop.

                >is only "derivative" in the sense it's not the first ever game made in its exact format
                In the sense that it's just 7 again with a new setting. It could be dlc for it.

                >are not objective assessments in any form
                Of course it is, none of these games try to do something new. They just throw things on top of a template that already exists, it makes for very predictable games.
                I've played so many games where I need to shoot things from a distance so my partner can progress that it's laughable that anyone could see that as innovative.

                >My personal opinion is the older games I listed were dull and mediocre as well
                The problem is that you can't actually say why without saying you dislike the current games because they all use the older games as a foundation.

                The problem here is that I'm from a different generation, we value unique gameplay, mechanics and content.
                You value pretty lights.

                I can because you are trying to use assessments like "dull" and "uninspired". Those do not exist in objective form, hence you are being subjective, hence you are speaking based on your preference. That's not rocket science.
                >Considering I'm playing a game right now I'd say otherwise.
                Shitposting on 4chins is not a game

                >The problem is that neither are particularly experimental
                And yet your best examples are, what? "Mini-games with a similar concept" and "there's that one game I think". Sounds pretty experimental to me.
                >Loop Hero
                Is a unique take on a deck builder. The "experimental" part is what made it unique, and that what made it popular.

                >In the sense that it's just 7 again with a new setting. It could be dlc for it.
                But that's false, though. It's not just "a new setting" - it does things differently.

                >Of course it is, none of these games try to do something new
                That's not what "dull" and "mediocre" mean. I have addressed your statement of "derivative" separately.
                Now you are trying to shape the conversation like this assessment and that assessment is one and the same which they are objectively not.
                You trying to sweep objective statements (even if invalid) and subjective statements under the same rug, trying to make your personal preferences a valid argument. That's not how it works.

                >The problem is that you can't actually say why without saying you dislike the current games because they all use the older games as a foundation.
                That's false, though.
                Example:
                I dislike GTA III because its story is generally uninspired and its gameplay is too repetitive. It's a sandbox lacking toys.
                I enjoyed Vice City and San Andreas because they fixed those issues.

                Maybe you are just bad at assessing games.

                Of course they do. The game can be considered dull and uninspired if it doesn't stand out in any significant way simply copying what worked from other games.
                Just because you can't comprehend how they can be objective doesn't mean they can't.
                >Shitposting on 4chins is not a game
                Bold of you to say that
                1) anyone who disagrees with you is shitposting
                2) that it's impossible to play a game between posts.
                But then again you do think most modern games are good so I'm not surprised you would be incapable of doing more than one thing at a time.
                >Sounds pretty experimental to me.
                They're examples off the top of my head, not the full extent, it's meant to show that the idea isn't original by any stretch of the imagination meaning it isn't experimental.
                This isn't a difficult idea to understand.

                >Is a unique take on a deck builder
                You can't even describe what's unique about it other than the loop which frankly is just pointless.

                >it does things differently.
                The argue your point, you're trying to say that these games aren't just slop peddled out to the masses but you don't even know why you think they're good.

                >That's not what "dull" and "mediocre" mean.
                Yes, yes it is. I take it English isn't your first language if you're having this much difficulty.
                But yeah, often stage design is predictable and mechanics are overused making the game dull and mediocre.

                >I dislike GTA III because its story is generally uninspired and its gameplay is too repetitive
                And are you going to explain how? Keep I mind that there are few major differences between 3, VC and SA as a game. The story is ultimately down to opinion.

                There are plenty of things you might think you know only to realize you don't know anything.
                An example could be how you've learned today the difference between "objective" and "subjective" assessments. I doubt that you will remember what you have learned, but that's a good example still.

                Meanwhile, the idea that taking a set of mechanics that are normally relegated to being "side content that's there for flavor at best" or "a party mini-game" and making an entire game solely out of them is pretty fricking EXPERIMENTAL by definition should not be that hard to understand, yet here we are.
                ITT is not the first game to do "coop to progress" to be the focus of the game. Trine did that, for example. It's just no game did it like ITT did before it. It's a new thing.

                >the loop which frankly is just pointless.
                If it's frankly pointless then you are frankly wrong. We're done here as well.

                >just slop peddled out to the masses but you don't even know why you think they're good.

                >That's just you putting words in my mouth and being generally dumb

                >and making an entire game solely out of them is pretty fricking EXPERIMENTAL
                No, you have to remember that these are video games, you can apply that logic to say, movies where a stop motion monster can inspire a movie to be entirely out of stop motion which is a very ambitious feat that until I happened had never been done before on that scale.
                But with video games it's all about interaction, if that particular for of interaction has been done before and already polished it can no longer be considered experimental. It's been done.
                Whether you're doing it for 2 minutes or 20 hours it doesn't make a difference, the co-operative nature of the game has been done.
                If it had applied that co-op in a way that hadn't been done before however then you could say that it was experimental but they didn't do that.
                >We're done here as well.
                Again, this is just saying you have no argument. At this point you're just throwing a tantrum because you know you have nothing to bail you out of this conversation.

                This is so incredibly generic that I can slap it on to just about any game it would mean the same thing because you didn't go into any detail specific to the game itself.

                And now you know how we all feel about you when you make unsubstantiated claims.
                >it's not something I can really respond to.
                It is, you just need to make an argument.
                Let me explain what you're doing your posts can be summed up as
                >this is bad!
                And nothing else.
                To make an argument to need to describe your stance/issues/reasons and sometimes post evidence. In other words your posts need to be
                >it's bad BECAUSE the you do too many of the same mission
                >it inspired game X, Y and Z and here's an interview proving it
                But you can't do that, because you don't like games like we do.
                When we like games we go hard on it, we know directors and developers by name, you know information off by heart because it comes up a lot in conversation.

                You're a casual. You play games because a YouTube does and drop them like a week later. I mean, what's your longest play time on a game, post it and prove me wrong.

                >>HOW OLD ARE YOU HMMMMMM
                >fixation you have only shows how insecure you are.
                Now, I wonder who brought up the idea of someone being younger in the first place.
                Let's just scroll up and... Oh would you look at that it was you

                >You can't say that
                I can because you are trying to use assessments like "dull" and "uninspired". Those do not exist in objective form, hence you are being subjective, hence you are speaking based on your preference. That's not rocket science.
                >Considering I'm playing a game right now I'd say otherwise.
                Shitposting on 4chins is not a game

                >The problem is that neither are particularly experimental
                And yet your best examples are, what? "Mini-games with a similar concept" and "there's that one game I think". Sounds pretty experimental to me.
                >Loop Hero
                Is a unique take on a deck builder. The "experimental" part is what made it unique, and that what made it popular.

                >In the sense that it's just 7 again with a new setting. It could be dlc for it.
                But that's false, though. It's not just "a new setting" - it does things differently.

                >Of course it is, none of these games try to do something new
                That's not what "dull" and "mediocre" mean. I have addressed your statement of "derivative" separately.
                Now you are trying to shape the conversation like this assessment and that assessment is one and the same which they are objectively not.
                You trying to sweep objective statements (even if invalid) and subjective statements under the same rug, trying to make your personal preferences a valid argument. That's not how it works.

                Example:
                I dislike GTA III because its story is generally uninspired and its gameplay is too repetitive. It's a sandbox lacking toys.

                You can't say that because you have no idea what my references in video games are. You're just making the assumption that I only like old games.
                >as you don't really play games.
                Considering I'm playing a game right now I'd say otherwise.

                >as both got popular because they were experimenting
                The problem is that neither are particularly experimental. It takes two for example is multiplayer only where both players are required to work together to get to the end, along with a mishmash of other mechanics.
                I mean, there are Mario party minigames based on a similar co-op concept. Adding more mechanics to it doesn't suddenly make it more experimental.
                I'm pretty sure there was a game with you guys in jail that did something similar too.
                Loop Hero on the other hand is just a basic deck builder style game but on a loop.

                >is only "derivative" in the sense it's not the first ever game made in its exact format
                In the sense that it's just 7 again with a new setting. It could be dlc for it.

                >are not objective assessments in any form
                Of course it is, none of these games try to do something new. They just throw things on top of a template that already exists, it makes for very predictable games.
                I've played so many games where I need to shoot things from a distance so my partner can progress that it's laughable that anyone could see that as innovative.

                >My personal opinion is the older games I listed were dull and mediocre as well
                The problem is that you can't actually say why without saying you dislike the current games because they all use the older games as a foundation.

                The problem here is that I'm from a different generation, we value unique gameplay, mechanics and content.

                Of course they do. The game can be considered dull and uninspired if it doesn't stand out in any significant way simply copying what worked from other games.
                Just because you can't comprehend how they can be objective doesn't mean they can't.
                >Shitposting on 4chins is not a game
                Bold of you to say that
                1) anyone who disagrees with you is shitposting
                2) that it's impossible to play a game between posts.
                But then again you do think most modern games are good so I'm not surprised you would be incapable of doing more than one thing at a time.
                >Sounds pretty experimental to me.
                They're examples off the top of my head, not the full extent, it's meant to show that the idea isn't original by any stretch of the imagination meaning it isn't experimental.
                This isn't a difficult idea to understand.

                >Is a unique take on a deck builder
                You can't even describe what's unique about it other than the loop which frankly is just pointless.

                >it does things differently.
                The argue your point, you're trying to say that these games aren't just slop peddled out to the masses but you don't even know why you think they're good.

                >That's not what "dull" and "mediocre" mean.
                Yes, yes it is. I take it English isn't your first language if you're having this much difficulty.
                But yeah, often stage design is predictable and mechanics are overused making the game dull and mediocre.

                >I dislike GTA III because its story is generally uninspired and its gameplay is too repetitive
                And are you going to explain how? Keep I mind that there are few major differences between 3, VC and SA as a game. The story is ultimately down to opinion.

              Come on, anon, just GTA 3 was immensely influential and even created the GTA-clone genre because of how successful it was, there's not a single game in that 2021 list that comes close to being that influential or impactful, the very, very best of that list are mediocre.
              Then there's also Gaylo, of course, the one that had developer scrambling to make a "halo killer", the one that made console online gaming relevant with Xbox live.

                ITT caused a resurgence of proper coop games while shifting focus on the "cooperation" aspect.
                Inscryption is one of the bigger examples of recent ARGs and it has expanded the acceptable limits of game-to-player interactions among less-niche games
                Poppy Playtime is massively influential, reaching out to the IRL resulting in an international spike of "cute things scary" merchandise popularity,
                >Hell Poppy was influenced by FNAF if anything else
                Yes, and? Most things are influenced by something.
                It doesn't change the fact it's a massively influential game that has birthed a crapload of copycats.
                >yet you didn't even list that.
                Because I just picked a random recent year and I'm sticking to that year.

                Loop Hero is a story of success that influenced 7340589723498 other indie devs to do a thing with their idea
                Chivalry 2 is influential in the same sense as games like Morghau or For Honor are - it's a necessary and important take on "realistic" melee combat that will objectively influence whatever will come after it helping the future games evolve. It's a gamer thing, you wouldn't understand.
                The Forgotten City is simply art in gaming form. It's influential by definition. Saying it's not is like saying "Outer Wilds is not influential". It is. It is art. People will not be copying it 1:1 - they will be inspired by it.

                So where are they? Most co-op games nowadays just tend to be Nintendo, Sega and other nip titles and they've been doing them for years.
                >Inscryption is one of the bigger examples of recent ARGs and it has expanded the acceptable limits of game-to-player interactions among less-niche games
                That's just describing the game, that's not saying how it's influential anon. Take Botw for example, elements similar to that game can be seen in games like genshin, immortals fenyx rising and that one indie game that showed up on a state of play that no one gave a shit about.
                That's an obvious influence.
                >resulting in an international spike of "cute things scary" merchandise popularity,
                One problem though, that's been a consistent thing in media and merch for years. I mean, even Pokemon had that area covered with most ghost types, drifloon steals children and Mimikyu is so horrifying people pass out when they see what it really looks like and again, FNAF.
                Tattletail was also a thing for a while.
                >Most things are influenced by something.
                Not really, not unless it's a long running series or they had a change of heart based on reception.
                >It doesn't change the fact it's a massively influential game
                Anon, they haven't influenced anything at most they've done nothing or are copycats themselves.

                For coop games google coop games released in 2022 and 2023. There are new ones. Devs are trying out stuff.
                Bringing up BotW is the most moronic fricking example you could find. BotW is a prime example of bringing literally NOTHING new to the table and everything copying it does so because it's a highly successful product and only does so on the surface level. Genshin looks like BotW at a glance because the game wanted to cash in on BotW popularity. It's "inspired" by precisely nothing else in that game. The game's completely different.
                Your dumb problem with Poppy is just autism. I'm not talking about what was there. I'm talking about what Poppy in fact achieve. Normalgays in second and third world countries didn't hear shit about FNAF yet somehow Poppy toys are now sold and popular there. You are just ignorant to the actual state of affairs.

    A long time ago when I was even more of a homosexual and even more moronic that I posted on video game forums (before the shitstorms of 2014 and 2016 utterly fricked the Internet forever), I remember a sizeable amount of people I thought were pretty cool who sworn by 2D and sprite based games. When we had our autistic uninformed arguments about game design, I remember these advocates claim that 3D has always been a mistake and that 2D should've stayed the norm.
    My stupid question; is this why? Do games with drawn backgrounds and all characters and effects being sprites = it's pre-rendered = there is no graphical lag? I hope this post made since I am sleep deprived.

    • 8 months ago
      Anonymous

      >What changed?
      Vulkan and DX12 requires developers to declare all state up front. You don't compile a shader but instead compile a combination of shader, texture filtering mode, blend state, etc. If you still code like you're using DX11 you're going to get stuttering. Vulkan already has workarounds for this (VK_EXT_graphics_pipeline_library, VK_EXT_shader_object) but game developers keep using DX12 because they're slaves to Microsoft.

          It doesn't, you always need to compile a complete pipeline state object to draw anything in DX12. You can't even "fast link" PSOs in DX12 and optimize them in the background like you can in Vulkan.

              Show me, give some examples. I'm not saying DX12 always has stuttering, I'm just saying that if you're a shit dev Vulkan has workarounds for you with a small performance penalty (~1-5%) and DX12 doesn't. DX12 requires you to program like Vulkan 1.0 did.

    Antiquity Era (or Hi-Score era) would be 1972 - 1982. A lot experimenting with games since they were new, but they were also a hit with the crowds at the time.
    Crash Era would be 1983 & 1984. Games started stagnating and were losing appeal in the US and the original audience, the Baby Boomers, moved on to other hobbies. Games started going through major changes to move past from the hi-score gameplay to a more modern approach like we saw in Pac-Land and later Super Mario Bros in the next era.
    Golden Age of Gaming was 1985 - 2002 or even 2006. There was an incredible run of great games from that massive range. A bad year was rare, but it didn't really matter to me back then like it did when I started noticing the quality dropping around 2003. A lot of awful modern day design decisions originate from this year. That's why I find it hard to justify putting 2004 - 06 in this list, but those years did bounce back (at the very tail end of 04 I should say. I think a lot of people forget about that dry run until October).
    2007 - 2016 was the Dark Age of Gaming. This was when a lot of those ideas that were getting experimented with in 2003 and a little bit more in the proceeding years came to fruition. A lot of games during this time were not fun and companies found out how easy it was to exploit gamers and nickel and dime the shit out of them, which they still do to this day. This was also when Day 1 Patches became popular in the industry, resulting in sloppier games than we got in the past. Japan also took a break during this time due to the recession, so it was mainly Western games.
    2017 - 2020 was a small renaissance of gaming, going back to quality we haven't seen since the PS2 era IMO. This is also when Japan got back to developing for bigger consoles after getting fricked over good by the recession and made the best games during this time.
    2021 - Present. At this point, another dark age. Everything is creatively bankrupt and there isn't anything to look forward to.

    >budgets hit their sweet spot where even smaller companies were putting out products that could compete with AAA devs, AAA devs could put out full fledged finished sequels in 1-2 years instead of 5+, and the AA market flourished
