It's working fine as a business decision though. You're just butthurt because you're personally not the only one being catered to anymore.

>>386898139
I feel like Bliz has just fuck-awful employees who keep getting assigned to projects, then do a piss-poor job of leading them. Just full of terrible design choices and shitty money grabs.

Diablo 3 was deeply broken until it finally came time to try to sell an expansion. They realized nobody would buy it so they had to strip out the cancer and try to make a fun game instead of an ATM machine.

And as they did that, they were making Overwarch. A game in which they completely ignore requests for balancing and decent matchmaking. Instead they make a "competitive shooter" where the matchmaking is designed to force you to a 50/50 win/loss ratio, so it will place you in games with people drastically above your ranking in order to force a lost. Meanwhile, they make sweeping nerfs and buffs which manage to make unplayable characters overpowered and overpowered characters worthless. When 90% of the character choices are split among 1/4 of your classes, you haven't balanced shit.

The problem with open world designers is that they think people want an open world. When in reality what people want is an open world/level with shit to actually do in it.

I think Dragons Dogma is one of the best most well crafted open worlds in all of gaming. The world is large but not too large, it takes time to travel from place to place (until you get the teleport stones which is a great way to move around quickly and a unique fast travel system in both the first iteration and dark arisen), there's always something new to see (atleast the first 1-2 times through), new areas open up as you play, new content is unlocked, you can go pretty much everywhere from the start, most areas are unique with their own unique settings and content, there's not a lot of hand holding, the list goes on.

DD has a great open world because there is actually shit to do, content to see, short cuts to discover, stuff to PLAY! But most open worlds are just large, empty, boring places with sparse content that is mostly just samey or repetitive when you actually get there. Having a world to play on that is 10% content and 90% bullshit isn't fun; having a world to play on that is 70+% content and 30% whatever other bullshit IS fun.

MGS5 is a good example of a bad or mediocre open world. The world is open, but who cares? All the content is on the bases and the actual designed parts of the world. That's the good stuff. Sneaking into bases, etc. Not traveling through miles and miles of worthless, empty bullshit with nothing to do but hit up some guard posts with 3 guys and 99 worthless collectibles.
>>
>>386898927
I enjoy Just Cause, but when their maps went super-retarded big, it mainly got to be a pain in the ass to travel anywhere. So they put in fast-travel.

Why even bother with an open world just to put in magic doors to skip you past it. Saints Row, a shittier series, handled this problem so much better but just giving you free access to high-utility vehicles

A cohesive idea for a game, that works all the way through and stays fresh, is a lot harder than people give it credit for. A lot of games have some neat idea that doesn't have anywhere to go, so you end up with a 2 hour game or a 6 hour shitty game.

I'm starting to think nobody here knows what "out of touch" means. Shady business practices like loot boxes aren't really out of touch since that's not really trying appeal to anyone, it's just trying to exploit people.

Creating an app for you to specifically voice chat through your phone for the Switch, now THAT is out of touch since Nintendo is convinced that they are appealing to an audience when that audience doesn't even exist

I really don't see how story will make good gameplay though. I am mostly focusing on experimenting with various sidescroller mechanics and asset pipeline for now. What I need is an artist, someone who can draw what my game will look like.

Quite possibly the dumbest desicision I've ever seen was in Borderlands 2 DLC

> introduce new rarity of guns
> can only be bought from a specific vendor
> vendor only accepts Seraph Crystals, a new currency
> 120 each
> Currancy only drops from ultra hard optional bosses in the DLC
> 6-10 crystals per kill
> game only allows you to fight bosses once per day
> ONCE
> PER
> DAY

That means it would take 2+ weeks of boss killing to afford a single weapon, literal months to get them all. They weren't even good weapons, a couple were decent but most were gimmicky and lame. I don't think a single one was best in its class. Ignoring the fact that the weapons were lame and the bosses weren't fun to fight (that's just incompetence) the desision to limit bosses to once per day is honestly baffling. Did Gearbox expect players to login, spend 5 minutes fighting a boss and log out? It's not like Borderlands has much to do once you've completed all the missions, it's a big game but definetly a finite one.

They fixed it with a hot fix pretty quick, but guess what: the next DLC had the same issue AND the next one. If you weren't connected to the internet you could only fight the bosses once per day. Eventually they patched it properally and the 4th DLC did not have this issue. They even buffed the weapons eventually as well.

>at least it's not unity

The problem is that shitty one-man devs don't have the money to pay to remove the splash screen, and all of the good games made in Unity don't have the splash screen, so no one knows. Unity is perfectly fine; the issue is that it's easy to use, so tons of garbage is made with it using default assets and shaders.

That's like the culture of "use C and roll your own" on /dpt/ that is absolutely crippling impressionable would-be productive devs.
>>
>>386901086

That's not what he's talking about. They don't have to teach you about anything but they also don't have to ban characters like Lara Croft from ever existing again because a big part of her appeal was sexual. It's not necessarily bad for a kid to have fap material around. Shit, it probably kept me from exploring the internet for more depraved shit during my formative years.
He's suggesting there may be a link between hetero sexual appeal disappearing in the media that pre-pubescent males typically consume (action cartoons, comic books, video games) and the rise of more fetishistic lust i.e. sexualizing non sexual or "furry" characters, subcultures like the bronies, stuff like that.

I would be interested in learning more about something like this.

>>386902303
from what I have heard, unity is very ineffective. I have seen arguments that a real developer will optimize his own game and the engine will not matter at all. At that point you might be reworking substantial parts of the engine, or at least it takes away time from other things you should be doing. For instance, Godot doesn't even support PBR yet, which is crippling for 3d games. You could reinvent the wheel, maybe you do it better, but really it comes down to this: if the devs of the engine couldn't do it themselves, what else didn't they do? I don't know, I hedge my bets on the industry standard, after moving on from 2D games in godot.

True, but an artist can do exactly the same, except he can actually draw shit. You will mostly be looking at shit and in a 3d sidescroller game anyway, and not so much reading text.

You can say that about any engine though. Unless you're starting from scratch and making your own engine, you aren't going to be able to perfectly optimise your game. The bigger the project, the more need there is to use an engine such as Unity or Unreal (even game maker). At the end of the day depending on what you want to make will determine whether or not a game engine is needed. That and obviously your technical knowledge with programming.

DD's open world would be better if the game was more developed. I adored exploring interesting locales like the Watergod's Altar or seeing my pawns comment about the mysterious (Bluemoon) Tower in the distance. The world was filled with things to do, and each area had unique geography, enemies, and treasure.

Then I played the main quest and found that 90% of the areas you go to are places you HAVE to go to, and if you just follow the storyline quests there won't be any places left to explore.

The game in general needed more time, but regarding the open world it should've rewarded exploring for its own sake more than it did. The only time it does that is postgame, especially when you run into dragonkin.

The design decision to scrap Guild Wars's "8 skill slots, 1000 skill pool" build system in favor of a highly restrictive "active combat" system for Guild Wars 2 is probably the single most out of touch move that I have ever witnessed in game development. They took the defining characteristic of their original product and then completely removed it for the successor and replaced it with something that was not only worse in every way but also completely generic and watered down.

The game is plagued by a heavily prominent narrative that constantly interrupts and railroads you, while it doesn't have any good writing to back it up. The characters are one-dimensional and 95% of the time they talk without saying anything.

The level design is at an all time low and the new features suck too. There's nothing good to find here except that the graphics are the best yet.

You're overreacting simply because the anime was popular, for a time, and your opinion is basically the regurgitated meme echo of opinions around you. You have very little, if any, experience in anime good or bad.

SAO was good early on, and bad later on. That's all there is to it.

>Hey, say what you want about Blunderborn and modern Gearbox but the original Borderlands was the furthest thing from out of touch. Borderlands 1 struck at the absolute prime era of Reddit quip writing 10 years ago. Randy practically ushered in that style of "le badass humor" game that everyone copied for years afterwards.

Borderlands 1 had practically no quiping. It was written in the style of jaded and cynical people who weren't professional writers (it was co-written by Randy believe it or not). Everything in Bl1 was dark and mostly serious, because the original vision of the game was serious, but it's almost like they couldn't help themselves adding ironic twists and dark humour to all the quests. Very few actual jokes, just a depressing ambivalent atmosphere. If you looked at Bl1 objectively it was horrific, but since it was cartoony and barely anyone cared about how awful the world was past general annoyances, it didn't feel like it.

Then they hired Anthony Burch to write 2, and all the (probably accidental) atmosphere they created was thrown out the window for as many blatant pop culture jokes/references as they could cram in.

That's literally just a YOU problem. Anime always has two styles. Happy ass bubblegum kawaii autism, or grimdark "I hatemyself and my friends and especially my mother" edge. There is never a middle ground as far as early animes go. The problem you have with SAO is literally a problem with ALL anime, and that's how I know- with evidence- that you don't watch anime.

You were a stupid fucking normie who heard that SAO was popular and watched it to see what was up, and lo and behold- it was STILL anime, the shit you don't like to watch, then you come along pretending like your opinion is worth shit. Fuck off, idiot.

I thought BL1's writing wasn't too bad. It was all subtle, childish but never crammed in your face. BL2 is when they started trying to shove a meme in every single god damn chance they could.

SAO is shit.

When the villain can't even remember their motivation it's bad writing. Kirito is a shit character with shit motivations and never grows as a character. The only important part of the whole series the the beginning, the ending, and Kirito fucking Asuna with everything in-between can be seen as pointless filler. Literally anything else could be added there and it would be the same shit. Even Sachi's death is irrelevant.

I never said SAO isn't garbage, and in fact said that it ended up BECOMING garbage later.

SAO as an anime "very" obviously started off with an idea, and the writers fucked up their pacing near the end and literally dropped half of the story in favor of a hasty resolution, then eventually ended up banking on shock value what with data daughters, incest, and literal rape.

It BECAME a shit anime, but as it stood, it actually "started" like a pretty decent spiritual successor to .hack. Hating SAO as a whole series is perfectly reasonable and even expected, but people who "also" hated the beginning have no idea what they're talking about.

Okay let me try to conjure up images in my mind of the beginning when I watched it a while ago.
Okay here's what I remember

Everyone's trapped in the anime
Kirito goes and defeats a dungeon with some people or some shit
Kirito is extremely depressed and wondering around alone for some reason in different groups, but he's also really powerful (the anti-social cringy power fantasy anime deluxe package right here)
Some girl kills herself or something
There's like crying 30 times in 2 episodes in the beginning

Afro black women or ugly as sin ones. People like attractive characters for their protagonists most of the time, unless the character's mundane normalcy or outright ugliness is a point of their character. Nobody going to give a shit about playing a cute brown or black girl. Look at the octopus Marinara sauce one. Or that 2d platformer short haired one. But c'mon, it's ridiculous when you've got a shooter or adventure game and you go from square-jawed muscular tall handsome BJ blazkowicz or nathan drake (or comparable Lara croft) to some afro-wearing ugly as sin laqueesha. If it were Halle berrys or beyonces or Grace Joneses Though she's a bit more of that uncanny valley alien looking like a female black David Bowie it'd be fine.

Maybe I'm just sexist. I've got no objections playing a black guy or brown guy My characters when I can make them are always dark skinned. But unless it's a 70s blaxploitation film fucking nobody wants to be Lasheena.

The pacing of the show makes sense to the fact that they're trapped, everyone's spooked and shit. They're trapped in a game, and everyone's on edge. Kirito's only special factor comes from the fact that he's had beta experience, and is one of the few people willing to risk his life to progress the game.

That last point is the most important, as the entire anime has a goal- the game has a goal- reach the end. That goal completely falls apart halfway through with shit like romance, apathy, and they even end up skipping the ending 1/3rd of the game because they ran out of time with shit pacing, filler, and fanservice.

At the beginning, the anime made it very clear that it was a "game" they were trapped in, a game with rules and real rectifications for losing. The people acted realistically, even to an extent Kirito, albeit somewhat angstilly. The EXACT kind of person you want on your side is someone like him. A social outcast who does nothing but play videogames all day- trapped in a videogame world where he already has experience? Of course he's popular because of that.

Also if you ever "seriously" use the term Power Fantasy with a straight face again, I'll find and kill you.

Not him, but following your conversation, his point is that women being stronger than men is unrealistic.

Usually it is. If a woman doesn't look obviously stronger than a man, then they won't win. Especially if the man is trained.

If guns are used, I'm sure that's out the window to some extent, but if not, he's right.

Also I don't think he ever mentioned black women.

I would have been more okay with this if this didn't come after the happy dungeon raid. It was a total change in the mood which made no sense to come after that moment and not the actual announcement that they were stuck there.

Okay, let me explain why this isn't okay.

Reason 1: She's not the main character.
Reason 2: See reason 1.

The main character being a fucking beeftank that can overthrow entire planets, and then stopped by some LITERALLY WHO is always a problem. Conversations have fucking existed since NES days along the same vain.
>Kick boss's ass
>Cutscene shows you get your ass kicked
>mfw
For example. This is the same shit, but within the narrative of a less gameplay oriented part, the players didn't even have a chance. Our supersoldier was taken down by some random cunt we didn't even have a chance to beat.

Every "correct" button prompt doesn't help you. We know for a fact our character can beat her- because our character can beat EVERYONE. And he loses anyway.

It's dogshit gameplay and narrative. No matter how much you deny it for irrelevant reasons, this is still a problem. And people will CONTINUE to point that problem out.

Vidya is an industry that heavily relies on trends and what is popular.

Remember when FPS was all the rage. Remember when cover based shooters then became a prominent thing in almost every other vidya? Same shit goes for open world games. Marketing departments and the publishers that they work for want shit that is easy to sell, regardless of actual quality, so what ever hits it big and becomes popular is something that the vidya industry will keep on chasing cycling every god damn time something new pops up and makes it big.
so really you got to hate the nature of the beast that is the vidya industry as a whole more so than anything else like shitty devs since shit has always been happening for fucking ever.

It has to do with your post, claiming that SJW pandering is good for business. The only series that feel for this or are soley created for it that are still successful are Assassin's creed and Battlefield (Undertale isn't SJW pandering, it's just it's fanbase being filled with Tumblrinas).

No, the problem is that they removed PVP progression, and then arbitrarily added it back in in a way that overwhelmingly favored PVE'ers.

'Here retard, run the same dungeon over again, but do it faster' isn't content.

But the real question is why anyone who's been around in WoW long enough to know where it came from is STILL playing the game. Blizzard doesn't give a flying fuck about you, they're not designing or marketing their games to you. In many respects they hate your guts. Legion was ass. Worse than WOD.

Witcher 3 overall listened to fans and delivered a quality product that left MOST people happy.

probably the most recent example of a developer doing it right, especially when you consider the DLCs

Nintendo hardware.
The 3ds with its amazing resolution rivaling that of a decade old PSP is the main offender. Especially when we start considering terrible ergonomics and the lack of a second analog stick, which was later released a physical add-on which fucking required its own battery, covered the stylus bay when it was on, had shoulder buttons than worked with some games but not others, was losing connection in standby, and was communicating with the console over a fucking IR port. AN IR PORT AND A SEPARATE BATTERY FOR SOMETHING THAT YOU PLUG THE CONSOLE INTO.
The tried to fix it with N3DS and its second analog """"stick"""" which was exactly as easy to use as you would guess from looking at it, which is to say not at fucking all. It's basically like a nipple mouse you have on some laptops, except even less responsive.

>Nintendo pre-N64

Fixed that. Love it all you want that thing was a mess of bad choices that heavily impacted its audience. GCN was badly advertised and didn't fix underlying issues. Wii left its market entirely thinking the casual audience wasn't a fad and would last.

It was the console full of choices that drove away their original audience.

While I agree, 95% of the time it's dictated by the ease of implementation. Doesn't make it any less lazy.

Le "casuals abandoned Nintendo" myth.

In fact Nintendo made a concentrated effort to abandon casuals themselves with the Wii U. If you read the pre-release press Nintendo themselves said that the Wii U was aimed at hardcore gamers with a few casual games thrown in so hardcore gamers could play something with their causal friends ("a console for Mii and U"). They might have utterly failed at it, but the original Wii was literally perfectly executed.

By the logic of most stupid fucks on here, the PS3 failed at launch because the PS2 scared the Sony audience away???

Not really. If anything, focusing on graphics is more out of touch than anything else. Almost every system every generation that had the worst graphics for that era was the most successful one since it meant cheaper prices and more games being made.

>two out of touch decisions make a good one
Really dude.

If it was a departure from the Wii why the fuck name it after it. SNES was obviously trying to sell to the NES kids with bigger versions of the games they know.

Yes Nintendo talked a big game of bringing back the core audience.....and then had Bayonetta and did fucking nothing else to do so. Oh and a Mario that gives you a win button if you fuck up enough, totally hardcore. They were never getting back to the glory days without a fucking time machine to bring back old Capcom and Konami which were the secret builders of the Nintendo empire.

N64 drove off third party and most of their original customers. GCN didn't bring them back because they were still shafting 3rd party just less so. Wii so fuck it and sold to someone else. WiiU tried to bring back the old group, but did nothing to do so.

Nintendo is out of touch with those original NES/SNES players by a lot of generations. Its working okay for them and I still way say WiiU had the most unique games of its gen, but they don't know the console audience now.

Hell I think the Switch is an admission they don't know console players now. They just tried to make a big handheld. Seriously if Nintendo put out a console that had Nintendo games and all the other shit people play, would any motherfucker buy anything else.
