What is the most generic game ever made?

Gears of War

>>382238624
Uncharted.
Everything about it is middle of the road. Not a bad game, not a good game. Just meh all around.

The Witcher series. You know those books you would see at the checkout aisle with Fabio on them? That's The Witcher.

>>382238624
The fable series.

>>382238624
Oh good, its a thread dedicated to showing that /v/ thinks generic means 'game I don't like'

>>382239317
I don't know, man. GoW and Uncharted are pretty generic.

>>382238624
Average indie in 2017

The witcher series, any of those rust / dayz clones, Homefront / CoD / Gears / any of the other generic FPS games that are being pumped out.

Reserve this spot for Days Gone when it comes out.

>>382238731
The story and presentation are super generic dudebro shit but I unironically find the gameplay and multiplayer to be very fun.

Ubisoft games
The Tales Of series for Japanese games

>>382239390
The original Gears and Uncharted games aren't generic. but as their series got older, it got more generic because what they did became more of the norm. It's how Call of Duty 2 and 4 aren't Generic, but MW3 is

Horizon Zero Dawn

>>382238624
Dragon's Dogma. It doesn't get more generic than that, like, they don't have any unique spi on mythological beasts such as griffins, cyclopses and whatnot, it's just the most generic design you can think of. it's as if the artist just Googled ''griffin'', took the first image and called it a day. Also enviroments, towns, armours and weapons, everything is just generic.

Zelda and Mario, even if the sagas have some god tier games they are generic as fuck by this point

>>382238624
Something so generic I can't remember it right now but it's probably by Ubisoft.

>>382240287
Some of those games have flavor though.

>>382239952
Not him but how can you not find The Witcher universe generic? Shit gameplay aside, it features a very stereotypical cookiecutter medieval fantasy type setting that we've seen hundreds of times before with no real unique twist to it except the concept of witchers which itself isn't very interesting or new.

>>382240386

When they break the mold, for example Wind Waker or Paper Mario, but those are exceptions

>>382240440
>except the concept of witchers which itself isn't very interesting or new.

Show me 5 other fantasy settings with witchers then

>>382239952
People think that if it has humans, dwarves and elves it's 100% generic and unorinigal

and they're retarded for thinking that

>>382238624
every monster hunter game

>>382238624
It's not out yet, but I'd put money on it being Days Gone.

>>382240761
you've got to be shitting me. The humor alone makes it original.

>>382239952
Anything remotely-Tolkienistic really is up there with military-shooters, survival-crafters and GTA as the most generic shit you can pull in modern Western vidya. Pretty soon TF2-knockoffs will be the same as well, given recent titles, and indie throwbacks are attempting to re-hammer generic 90's platformers.

Meanwhile Japan is stuck with animu FF1-clones whenever not shoveling out mobileshit (or sequels to old series aimed outside their country).

>>382238624

I unironically enjoy Costco's Kirkland brand chips and cola. Kirkland won my trust by being legit great quality with all its products.

>>382240983
Kirkland is GOAT.

'generic' is hard to define for something as diverse as an entire medium. there are plenty of highly derivative vidya, eg. all kinds of shovelware.

>>382241108

>>382240776
If it has btowers" and a competitive multiplayer with xp progression, it just might.

There is absolutely nothing about that game that makes it stand out.

>>382239837

>>382241182
Any of the derivative monster hunter games such as Soul Sacrifice or Ragnarok Odyssey.

>>382239837
Yeah you a soft spot all right.

Dragons Age

>>382238624
Eating chips and drinking soda in everyday life; no wonder you amerifats look like you do.

>>382240761
This is probably the worst answer in the whole thread. Show me one game where the monsters are on the same level as Brachydios, Chameleos, Zamtrios, or Najarala. Besides having the most unique monsters (counting all monster, Gen 1 was admittedly bland) in gaming period, there's a ton of quirky shit like flexing, the cooking theme, palicoes, along with weapons like the Gunlance, Switch Axe, Charge Blade, and Insect Glaive which you won't find in any other game.

>>382238878
>>382240440

The Witcher deconstructs generic fairy tale and fantasy tropes, and uses them to subvert expectations and deliver really unique twists on timeless fables. That's literally it's schtick, up until the Ciri saga stuff, along with the mixing in of obscure polish folklore. Geralt's adventure intentionally echo familiar tale, but in radically different contexts and tones.

Anyone who calls it "Game of Thrones" or "Tolkien-esque" is a pleb who probably hasn't read books from any of the three respective series, if anything it's closest in tone to Grimm's Fairy tales but with an established universe built around them.

If you think it's generic has missed the point so hard it's fucking painful.

Witcher is entry level trash fiction. The only people who should be laughed at are those too dumb to pick up on the even the most incredibly obvious thematic differences between their "generic fantasy settings", and stick to something even more dumbed down like Harry Potter or something.

That's a whole different topic of conversation though, especially when you take into account that the stories were written over 20 years ago.

Calling the Witcher a generic fantasy is silly, since it's basically a parody of generic fantasy. Like calling Galaxy Quest a Star Trek knockoff or something to that effect.

Wut? Zelda is known for doing massive changes with every game, for better or worse. The closest two games come (not counting handhelds) are Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess.

Carrots are great snacking veggies, as are pickles and pepperoncini.

I love tomato and avacado too. I could eat avacado by itself. Onion is another huge contender, goes great with everything.

Only veggies I don't really like are asparagus, brussels sprouts and celery.

Far Cry, Assassins Creed and Just Cause are pretty generic for me.

Sure they have interesting settings, but I feel they're just trying to distract you from the fact that there is nothing uniquely original about the actual gameplay.

Asparagus broiled with oil lemon and salt is great. Just don't overcook.

Brussel sprouts are great when properly given a light frying, but are easy to overcook.

Celery I'll give you because you can't fry or bake it and it's basically fiber and water.

This is the real answer
Overwatch is completely bland and devoid of any flavor. It is truly a soulless videogame designed by people who were told to instill mass appeal and make dialog that calling it cliched is nowhere near enough for.

Overwatch is completely and utterly generic.

Ask yourself this: would your spend your time courting a woman in the hopes of getting sexual release... or would you eat a red bell pepper. I rest my case.

The Warcraft series
There are only a handful of things it does differently that makes it distinct from other fantasy works, but everything else is a stolen from someone elses work, or from an ancient mythology.

Trolls are one of the only decent things in Warcraft

No, that's actually not true. Just because pizza and doritos are all you happen to eat, that doesn't make it true that most people hate vegetables. Most cuisine found around the world can be ruined by removing the vegetables.

By not over-doing it, for starters. And by studying real-world magical practices and logic. I'd start by reading frazer. Actually creating magic that is rare, not speculative (as possible as the format allows), actually works around concepts of rituals, language, symbolism.
It's not easy, but it is possible.

Oblivion was literally market-research and focus groups: the game

1. LOTR was the BIG thing around Oblivion's development

2. Everyone was putting out LOTR games

3. Bethesda dramatically changed the entire lore of Cyrodil to retcon in the LOTR style generic inoffensive medievalish fantasy setting because it was the "in" thing all the focus groups wanted.

You really can't get more generic than oblivion. Skyrim at least presents an offensive world full of white male culture, which is now something to be ridiculed and attacked.

Even Gears of War is tinkering too close to Warhammer 40k. Neither were groundbreaking.

Nope. corridor cinematic crap wasn't really established yet at this point. Tomb raider certainly wasn't like this. It was more of a platformer with some puzzle elements that lead up to boss fights.

Uncharted is an entirely different type of game and was the template to the "movie game" genre that sprung up since then. (which is why it's considered generic now).

Same with Gears of War being the pioneer for "chest-high-wall" third person shooters with grey&brown bloom and motion blur which was new at that point.

Infinite Warfare. Literally lets take these great ideas from other games,half ass it, and shove it out the door.

Mass Effect: Ship command and the Map

Dead Space: Zero G Shooting, yay!

Legend of Zelda: The Hookshot

Halo: One shot melee weapons. Its different cuz its a shield!

Watchdogs: Hacking machines for game breaking advantages!

Ace Combat Series: Frenetic dogfighting with infinite ammo.

Ace Combat Series (Again): Boss fighting dog fights, only the bosses are on rails and are stupid.

Normally I don't mind borrowing from other good games' good ideas, but the fact that they grabbed the entire fucking toybox and made them all bland but functional makes CoD: Infinite the generic poster child for a franchise game.
