Date: April 16th, 2023 11:59 AM Author: Fragrant hairless point round eye He realized the "games" business was being saturated and that he'd already done everything worth doing. He stopped making games and instead, Engineered a platform for other people's shitty games. This man is a genius. He also Engineered Windows '95.

Date: April 16th, 2023 12:09 PM Author: Fragrant hairless point round eye We are living in strange paradoxical times where there are simultaneously No Games, and yet there are more open-world games and PS1 RPGs than there are grains of sand on Malibu Beach. Gabe understood this. He knew that 2004 of whatever was the peak and he took action. Gamecube graphics were basically the peak. The Cell Processor was insane to program for. Gabe understood this.

Date: April 16th, 2023 12:11 PM Author: Charismatic dragon No, graphics today are far more advanced than GameCube lol. But that’s the problem, there’s too many resources going into developing photorealistic graphics and no one is interested in making good Games with interesting mechanics. Everything feels like a copy paste job with a new skin. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5325486&forum_id=2#46192121) |

Date: April 16th, 2023 12:28 PM Author: Fragrant hairless point round eye I'd be fine with copy paste at this point. Like a GTA5 NYC expansion should've happened 7 years ago.
I watched some gameplay of cyberpunk and it's like oh, look, the westerners decided to make another FPS that isn't really an FPS, a la fallout. You leave westerners to their own devices and all roads lead to them making another fucking FPS. It's insane. They want to be "immersed." And then throw in a few Quests that involve using radar to go to a place with a cutscene you don't care about.
Gabe Newell is obviously an Ascended Nerd but jfc, this guy just cares about Engineering and making a bunch of money, he's just been infected with the mind virus of SV/NorCal writ large. No soul and dgaf about gameplay or Fun. PC gamers, being Nerds, have no real concept of fun. Maybe they shouldn't. Maybe none of us should, but it's just an observation.
Carmack is another. Looks like he should be on cowshit's Clique Exemplar Chart as a Nerd archetype. Makes ghastly murder fests where you just wander around and get lost. Dgaf about gameplay. Invented the FPS ffs.
Meanwhile Kojima is churning out masterpieces but the average gamer IQ is down to like mid-90s so no one appreciates it unless he presents it with a veneer of playing as a Badass Soldier. Newell is talking about re-architecting Lines of Code when he's the CEO and doesn't need to fucking code, while craftsmen like Kojima and Miyamoto don't even know what code is, and they (and their games) are better off for it. |

Date: April 16th, 2023 12:33 PM Author: Charismatic dragon Console gamers are the ones who started this whole "immersion" nonsense. Fallout used to be an isometric game. Most PC games like RTS and grand strategy have a macro player perspective and complex systems. That is what makes games fun imho. But now everything has to appeal to Console Gamers so it's all just walking down corridors and feeling "immersed". (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5325486&forum_id=2#46192189) |

Date: April 16th, 2023 12:38 PM Author: Fragrant hairless point round eye Console gamers collectively lost like 20 IQ points when the Xbox 360 came out. Scumbags had very limited stints with gaming with the 32X/N64 and maybe a touch of Twisted Metal and Coolboarders. But their ADHD was so bad they spent probably like 1 hour gaming in the entire 90s in aggregate. Even if they had like 20 games per console they played all of them combined for like 10 minutes per year. This all changed with the 360 and its immersive graphics and gameplay loops engineered to capitalize on scumbags' short time preference.
