          Besides his genocidal tendencies, the only other fact I've heard about Stalin vetted students from getting into careers that were in too low of a demand and got them to sign up for stuff that was actually needed. I don't even know if that's true, but it does sound kind of based.

    With a few rare exceptions, I can't imagine seriously giving a shit about 'lore' or 'storytelling' within the context of a videogame, books and films are the correct medium for that. Arcade/arcade-style games are the best.

      I can appreciate interesting lore/plots, but it definitely doesn't make or break a game. plenty of my favorite games have barebones or cheesy stories and it doesn't bother me at all.

          This is the same (unproven) argument people make about vinyl records. I love collecting old games and playing on original hardware just as much as anyone else. But I'm not convinced a janky N64 or SNES controller beats a modern controller. Plus I can plug in my DAC/AMP and hifi headphones so it sounds better and throw a CRT filter on it and play on my 65" OLED without the game looking like dogshit.

            A lot of hipster fags don't even know about many new mass produced vinyl have dogshit pressings. So an original first edition pressing of say Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon will sound better than a vinyl pressed in recent years that you find in shops now of the same album.

              And I would argue a FLAC or high-quality stream (e.g. on Tidal), properly configured to play through a decent DAC/AMP and pair of headphones, beats any vinyl pressing 10 times out of 10.

              Every musician that's worth their salt prefers analogue equipment over digital, just saying, retard.

              And every director worth his salt thinks his movies need to be seen in theatres. But while Quentin Tarantino and Martion Scorsese grew up in that world, they fail to realize that it's 2023 and I have a 65" OLED, great headphones and no shitty audience members in my basement. Same logic with musicians.

                I concede that a movie shot on 70mm played in IMAX and watched in ideal conditions beats a big OLED TV.

                Sound is a different story though. Theatres often fuck up the balance and finer details with the sound design usually get drowned out in the general "loudness" being pumped through the theatre speakers. My $750 headphones present the audio exactly as it was meant to sound with perfect clarity and accuracy.

              Yeah but there are aspects of music, that have been a reality for the past 60 years, that challenge this. You can get an original 80's synth in mint condition but you can replicate that wound with any pc for zero cost. I know thats not your argument but your argument has holes (That being digital music has been a thing since before you were born). Vinyls in particular are not as pure as the meme would imply. Yeah a good quality virgin record will sound like sex but that shit wears faster than any other capture medium, and there's also a vibe to it that you can't replicate with spotify, but any sound engineer worth their salt will tell you you can capture infinitely more detail in a bluray than you ever could in a record, no matter how nice it feels to drop the needle on a record and hear that fuzziness

    ARPG's have never progressed in quality after the original Diablo, it all became about having a loot piñata in every single game which was the wrong direction for the genre to take, because by overloading the player with nonsense, they completely forgot about the game itself and instead having a hoarding simulator.

    You'll see this in all ARPG's today - racing to the end, hunting for the best items, 'creating builds', endlessly farming, sitting in trade lobbies, not even wanting to play video games anymore, and it's so sad.

          Mostly because whenever I hear my dad talk about dumb shit he and his friends did when he was young it's the exact same shit I and people my age would do. And there's also that old socrates quote where he's complaining about the greek youth. Most people take it as "see, old people will always complaing about young people", which is true. But I think you can also gather from it that young people are, and have always been, idiots. This is why I'm somewhat optimistic zoomers will turn out fine when we get a bit older and wiser.

            I think this is true, but I do believe that the last dozen or so generations have regressed heavily due to industrial advancements. Still, zoomers have gotten a lot of flak and millennials were also ridiculed unfairly in our time. I also think boomers get too much hate for the state of the world. The "Greatest Generation" did the most damage.

              Yep probably. Maybe not the average person that much, but the people at the top especially seem to have regressed massively.

              A lot if this just down to societal processes, technology and whatever politicians and intelligensia thought at the time. The average boomer/greatest generation/milennial had zero control over this shit. But the irony of milennials shitting on zoomers for almost the exact same shit as boomers did with them is palpable. Anyway I'm looking forward to being able to shit on gen alpha an say how zoomers were way better back in the day.

    quake and arenafps are not good games, and have very bad strategic depth and decision making, and no getting good and skill is not the issue because rts games like starcraft and even chess are infinitely harder than these games, starcraft and other rts games like aoe and even cnc have good online community despite almost everyone have forgotten about them, they just aren't as outspoken, starcraft also have never had less activity than fighter games, but despite that it is wrongly considered dead.
    that said i still really like quakeworld, and play it every 2 months.
    but delusional quake fags think they are most perfect competitive games but no one is good enough,
    kof games also drown after a while for similar reasons, they don't have clear strategic depth, either all chars have all things at all times or some are completely out of race,

    what i mean is, take street fighter 3rd strike for example, you get a knockdown, you have clear choices, both you and your opponent, and every choice can be neutralized, yet you have to discipline your opponent, another great example is choices after reset, and you are yang, going from low is clearly best choice, because you are at perfect range, and you get a combo, but still wiser decision would be to go for a simple overhead even if it gives less dmg, but that too only, when it happens infrequently or happens first time, after you have successfully disciplined your opponent you can go for low to throw him off and max dmg, but your opponent can also make conscious decision of always going for low parry after reset as a good tradeoff,

    I sincerely believe that games from the 80's, 90s and early 00's where more pure forms of art than the games that actively try to be artistic by imitating film, or having 2deep4u stories or overproduced visuals. There are modern games that are art (or "genuine art") but they are much much further in between
