Why has the video game industry changed so much in just one decade?

Name a succesful game with a gay black protagonist.

What game does this?

Mobile phones put more normalfags online so they could spread their terrible opinions.

Stop playing AAA garbage you fucking moron

>>387671612
You got the last point very wrong, it's sacrifice story and gameplay for the sake of art, people think pretty graphics solve all the problems in a game.

It does not. See Watch Dogs and Uncharted for reference.

>>387671612
Ok, so since everybody and there mother can tell this is a /pol/ CIRCLEJERK/Bait thread.

How about we talk about some board games?! Since if you're in this thread you must be REALLY bored.

You seem to have that wrong.
It's
>sacrifice story, art, and gameplay for the sake of a agenda.

>>387671612
imagine the brain of a poltard holyshit

>>387672330
name 1 game and explain how its agenda sacrificed the gameplay

Life is always pretty fun to play, especially when someone ends up with a car full of kids, pulled nail artist and their luck just keeps spiraling down.

Listen, you turdgoblins, the fact this list was made at all means these things exist and are a mortal threat to our hobby.

This is the Chad of "Board Games". How many staceys do you invite over to your house to play this?

>>387671612
Xbox 360 brought western developers and western game design philosophy into the console gaming sphere and, with aggressive advertising, threw the based Japanese presence out. Hence why everything is politicized, QTE-based graphics over gameplay these days.

>>387671817
Chess motherfucka

How about Tamerlane/Timur chess? Version invented by a muslim Tamerlane Khan who killed 3,8 million people in the Middle-East, built towers out of clay and severed heads, had women fight in his armies and who also loved board games?

They took the traditional audience for granted. And then move on knowing that people will eat shit regardless the smell.

Since always companies like Capcom or EA wanted a fastest cycle development so they can make smaller and shortest games to force you to buy the next one as soon as posible. For this reason, they also tried to kill or control modding scenes (EA since years ago; Bethesda/Valve these days).

Same with expansion that were too big and were reformulated in smaller "expansions" knows as DLCs to sell and sell every posible part of the game. To the point of cutting game content to satisfy the previous step, shorter cycles. This take years but eventually culminate in episodic games, early access, rush games with enormous day1-patchs

Another step was try to develop new ways to maximize profit with more powerful DRM systems (Starforce/limit installation/always online/on-disc dlcs) to minimize piracy. Ubisoft.

Some of those methods worked, others not so much but they were shaping the industry to continue to earn as much money as possible with the less effort possible. You can add trents like cloned fps, open world, the influence of mobile platforms, kickstarter, etc.

But years ago they had another idea. Since you are already squeezing your audience as much as possible the next logical step was to expand the playerbase like Nintendo did with the Wii catering non-traditional-gamers. And just like happened with Marvel in comics or TV/cinema industry as a whole. They thought they had an unexplored potential audience: Cancer.

>Sacrifice story and art for the sake of gameplay
You mean
What makes a fucking game fun?

You forgot the most important part, OP.

The main villain has to be a straight white man. They are everything wrong with today's society.

what braindead lummox made this image?

This all existed 10 years ago. Are you forgetting brown n bloom shooters that all had short-haired women as major characters? If you believe this I assume you're underage and didn't pick up on this shit because you were a kid. Regardless, it doesn't matter remotely. Gameplay doesn't change based on the color of the MC in a first person shooter.

>The main villain has to be a straight white man
False. It can be a woman but only if she is righteous and everything she does is justified in some way. Of course, she can't suffer any consequences in the end because a woman cannot be wrong but still...

>>387671612
Nothing wrong with the last point though

>>387671612
>Sunset, Tacoma, Cibele, Mass Effect Andromeda failed

As loud as game journo's push certain 'ideologically compliant' games, they don't sell. Basically no game that is built on heavy pandering or put virtue signalling over gameplay has succeeded,

>>387674343
Those games where "you are the character" would count for you i guess.

and sacrificing story and art for the sake of gameplay is good, slogging through a dogshit game for the art and story is fucking dumb (90% of JRPGs do this shit)
