How do I get into this series? Where do I start and in what order?
>>376702148
There's only 3 games, dude.
There's only 3 fucking games man.
They're all loosely tied together with several character from 2 returning in 3, so there's no reason not to play them in order.

Isn't there like Ar Tonelico NoSurge and some other shit too?
What will be the long-term effects for how anaemic the 8th gen has been?
>>376702041
i'm assuming you mean anemic. and i'm not really sure what you mean. there have been a good handful of great new IPs this generation from both the AAA market and the indie. inb4 you ask me to name a few solely to say they don't count.

I always find it funny when feminist nazis say objectification is bad (that developers listen to), then you goto any of these fan shows and see real women that put mass effort in to men look at their asses.
>>376701729
>why are vidya game girls hotter and more fapable than ever before?
because eternal virginity is your intractable destiny
I'm fucking obsessed.

Fucking faggots.
new here, what's /v/'s opinion on pic related?
Lurk more
Childhood is idolizing Assassin's Creed 2. Adulthood is realizing Assassin's Creed 1 makes more sense.
>>376701441
dont wanna
just answer
why is so much of /v/ so narrow minded about what they consider 'good' in games?
basically gameplay mechanics, content and polish reigns supreme over everything else to a large or very vocal faction on this messageboard. for example, an anon was telling me the bosses in demon's souls are all shit because they're not mechanically robust or polished, like maiden astraea and bed of chaos were equal in his mind, even though maiden astraea is obviously an emotionally evocative fight and pretty well-regarded for that reason
you guys know there's more to appreciate in games than this right? I like good mechanics, content and polish as much as anyone else, but that isn't the only thing that matters, and sometimes it's worth undermining them for something else
maybe when you're climbing the ladder in snake eater and listening to the theme song that's an atmospheric moment for reflecting on the journey thus far, and it's not shit just because all you're doing is tilting the joystick up for two minutes
pic unrelated btw
>>376701153
I think the most outspoken parts of /v/ are just reacting to what they perceive as an industry and community that no longer respects the core values of fun gameplay and complex mechanics. They're lashing out against the casuals and "chic geeks" who are more likely to praise a game for looking pretty and talking about Capital-S-Stuff than criticize it for simplistic or boring gameplay.
And I get it. I certainly prefer the more intense and complex games myself, and a part of me quietly scoffs whenever someone brings up a piss-easy cover shooter as a "power fantasy", but I don't get too angry about it. What makes a piece of art or media good is just two things: having a clearly communicated purpose and achieving that purpose well. If a game wants to stretch my reaction time and pattern recognition to the limit, then I welcome the challenge. If a game just wants to make me feel like a goddamned superhero for a little while, I look forward for that too. It's just when games try really hard to do shit that they don't know how to do, or just assume you'll automatically enjoy them because they're exactly like this OTHER game you like.

It's called being right and being able to prove it
You're just trying to wiggle yourself out being BTFO saying that you just got mansplained and that emotionally you're are right and they're wrong

It's three hours long. Take that as you will.
How do we get people interested in them again? I'm tired of MOBAshit/CS:GO being the most popular competitive games.
>>376700509
Maybe release a new good one? And then advert it?
Also why do you care whats most popular. Just fucking ignorowaĆa it and Play what you want.

>bootlicker says "t-they don't owe you anything"
How to counter said "argument"?
Pic kind of related
>>376700471
They dont owe you anything, but game devs are a business and if they want your fucking money they better try and satisfy you.
Capitalism son. The customer is king.

You're not entitled to video games.
>>376700643
This. You're not owed anything unless it's explicitly said some content is supposed to be coming but they straight up cancelled it, like a worthless season pass or something. But if they want your money, then they better put out a good product because you don't owe them money either.
Just Cause 3 was apparently mandated by square to be an mp game first
Hitman Season 2 possibly dead
Sleeping Dogs 2 dead
Deus Ex on hiatus
What the fuck is going over there? They've seemed to fuck up or fuck with every western game they've released but pour millions into their own money pit of Final Fantasy.
The head honchos want to suppress the western studios for some reason. either they're doing far better or far worse than the Japanese ones.
should have gone MP with JC3
what were the devs thinking?
>>376736683
What the hell is considered a success for these slants?
