>Why are video games so shit nowadays?
Industry refuses to take risks anymore, so we just get rehashes and clones of other successful games now.

>>387984324
Is it? Which game? You sbould post it.

>>387984426
>Industry refuses to take risks anymore
this
so much
look at 2007 (one of the best years) even ea took risks with ´dragon age origin, mass effect, mirrors edge and dead space

As much as I thought it was pretty mediocre, BOTW will get GOTY because Nintendo barely release new games now.

>>387984589
botw will get some popular vote awards, but its diversity index can't compete with horizon for panel voting awards
and then the weeaboos will want nier

On top of which, would-be good games are raped with dlc or microtransactions on top of your 60$ downpayment.

Then you have your decent games that are weighed down with some hamfisted political message or sjw agenda. Games ruined before their conception by trying to appeal to a demographic that doesnt buy games to begin with.

And last but not least, censorship out the ass or game devs simply too afraid of boogymen to release a game in the west.

What you are left with is less than 10 "quality" games worth spending 60 buckos on every year.

>>387984579

You need to stop posting.

There was nothing "risky" about any of those games, in fact they're among some of the biggest offenders for the shit state of the industry.

>>387984324
When you spend 10, 15, 20 years listening to focus groups and dumbing down games and following trends for mass appeal you don't understand that making a good game is more important than making a good product.

But I can't really fault them because making a good product makes easy money which keeps everyone employed and keeping hundreds/thousands of people employed reduces your ability to take risks.

>>387984324
Western dominance.

When your taste buds are garbage, everything else tastes like garbage, anon.

>>387984723
He's not wrong on the date though. It was 2006/2007 when everything turned to shit, basically after the PS2 era.

>>387984426
>Industry refuses to take risks anymore
Actually no. There's a good amount of variety in the current market. The actual problem is retards like you calling everything boring/shit. Hellblade is a prime example. The fact that you're going to reply to this post with 'B-BUT HELLBLADE IS SHIT!' further illustrates my point.

>>387984663
BOTW focuses more on different diversity than HZD, though. If anything it's the female MC which will give HZD bonus points.
They're both equally good though and excel in different areas and I hope for the best of this board that something else wins.

>>387984908

Hellblade is painfully derivative.

There's nothing innovative about it at all.

It's the same with movies.
In case of them, it's mainly because people like franchises and series more than they like the actors. It was completely different in earlier decades.

>>387984579
>mass effect
was a sci-fi rpg from the devs of baldurs gate and kotor. how was that a risk?

>dragon age
same as above, fantasy rpg from baldurs gate devs, also not 2007

>dead space and mirrors edge
i give you those, but both are not from 2007

>>387984908
>Hellblade is a prime example
Oh boy, here we go again
>"""risky game""" with modern view of gamedesign and pacing is a good game
You're right, sure

>>387984908

This is cunt retarded, Hellblade was dog shit for no other reason than it was dog shit.

Man, I really need to get back into this, which I will when I finish Mega Man Legacy 1 and 2, which I'll finish when I get all the chaos emeralds in Sonic Mania. But then Destiny 2 will be out by that point, and then Mario Odyssey will be out by the time I'm bored with that, and then I'll have to loop back around, and play Evil Within 2 once I'm done with that.

Thats a remake not a remastered

A remake is when the game is remade, a remaster is when its simply remastered with higher quality assets

well, were there any better games this year?

>>387985468
Pyre

>>387984324
crash is not game of anything.

if anything, the remaster made me realize that crash bandicoot is a bad series with bad gameplay.

>>387984324
Games take too much money to make.
Those who invest that money are scared to make a blunder and lose it so they stick to stuff that worked once and shun any innovation because innovation carries a much larger risk than stagnation.

>>387985516
Who?

>>387984426
>>387985562
These.

After 2007's economy crashed we have seen nothing but rehashes and companies "playing it safe"
Most companies don't try something new when they know continuing a franchise with a good name will be a safer bet.

We will likely never see libraries as diverse as PS1/PS2/N64/Gamecube days.

>>387984426
Asmuch as I hate the "videos games shit now" meme, you are 100% right when you say that the industry doesn't take risks anymore.

>>387985729
You don't play many videogames, do you?

>>387985729
Is this even a videogames board anymore?

>>387986329
I don't play indiegarbage from sjw devs, no.

>>387986384
No. People here only care about politics now, see >>387986394

>>387986394
That's your loss I guess, I'm sorry you can't enjoy it. GOTY for now in my opinion.

>>387986394
How the fuck are Supergiant sjw? They are one of the few devs left who make good games with good gameplay, no dlc bullshit and no politics bullshit, just 10-15 really passionate people.

how can console publishers even compete?

they refuse to take risks because gaming communities are shit

why bother taking a risk of developing a game for years of money, when people will forget about it, and then make memes about it never coming and shit talk it even before it comes out.

and then if a game is too expensive, they refuse to buy it until it's worth $10 on a steam sale.

why bother making a well-produced game and take the risk of having it fail because it is too hard, or because there isn't enough sexy female characters for porn and it's part of some feminist plot to remove our dicks.

why bother making anything new at all, even the movie industry has followed suit with the same fucking "remasters" and sequels. people will complain and whine and bitch and talk about nostalgia and then big gaming companies will hand us some shitty remaster or a sequel every year and reuse models and art, cycle through half their employees and pay them $10 over minimum wage, and force indie developers to rely on kickstarter money and only develop platformers because how can they even try to make anything else at the rate of how many games are being produced every few months?
