Observe as the underlying assumption is laid bare, perhaps for the first time. "In most situations, the goal of publishing and developing a game is to make an emotional connection with the player, and tell a good story." This is an assertion made by a paper that, presumably, wants to be taken seriously in the video game sphere. It's trying to pass this off as a thing that's simply recognized as true - that games are, at their core, mostly about telling stories.

Any gamer worth his salt should be able to instantly recognize this as the most basic and foolish misunderstanding of what video games are and do, the same sort of misunderstanding the parents and grandparents of those of us who've lived more than a couple of decades used to possess. These people unironically think that games are vehicles for prewritten stories, and that the gameplay gets in the way. That's where the "reduce difficulty!" cry originates. How dare you, Mr. Game Dev, prevent this blind one-legged paraplegic trans short-bus child from experiencing your prewritten story? What's that? Your game doesn't depend upon prewritten story? It revolves around gameplay? Nonsense, games are made to tell stories and you're stopping people from experiencing yours, you bigot!

People who assert that gameplay and story are or ought to be separate, and especially people who assert that premade storytelling should take precedence or is the fundamental purpose of games, have either never played a video game or are totally unaware that game design can be done much, much better than "movie with some gameplay added between the important scenes". They have no credentials worth speaking of in the video game sphere, and they should be ignored outright as the poseurs they are.

I don't get why those people don't just make visual novels then.

People think visual novels are games much like the same people who consider Gorillas a form of monkey.

I don't get why those people don't just make visual novels then.

Because they don't care for a gay/tranny/retard game. They want that ALL games be gay/tranny/retard and instead of playing them, they will look for games that are not like these.

Remember this one? I thought that would be a great seller at retardera.

But instead of that, we got threads about the "need" of a black Zelda in the Legend of Zelda series...

Did the civil war happen between retardera and NeoGAF yet?

The elf already banned having fun, so what war is there left to fight?

They tried that already, and it didn't work.

1. Visual novels also have to compete on quality. Games like Dream Daddy and Ladykiller in a Bind failed at being progressive enough, and failed to compete against porn games and memes games.
2. Walking Simulators (basically the same idea, but with even less choice) also failed utterly. Once the art grants dried up, they couldn't make money and collapsed.

Is it me, or there has been a push in the forum to whitewashed the Soviet Union?

Commies best argument is Hitler being a monster and American fuckery somehow mean their favorite yellow star tyrants were good.

It'll be funny when this woke crowd begins to clash with actual Russians with this kind of virtue signaling. Unlike the "Proud Boys" in America, Russians are all too happy to bring the fight to you when you start fucking with them and the cops won't protect the little snowflakes from all the beatings they'll catch.

This is legit one of the most retarded things I've seen come from this forum and there is hundreds of posts of archived Resetera lunacy here.

Speaking of being retarded, they're worrying about gaymurgate and The Last Night because a good looking Xbox game is coming out https://www.resetera.com/threads/re...-pc-day-one-on-game-pass.441571/post-67245907

I'll archive that later.

lol that thread reminded me to follow tim soret on twitter to see updates for the last night

It’s even worse than that. This guy is a massive smash sperg and as far as I can tell, the root of the “there’s no black people in smash” lunacy. He’s been talking about it since 2014 on neogaf.

Another day, another batch of suicide threads on ERA. Today's stars are Russell and PlanetSmasher.

goodbye.

Wow yeah another attention seeking thread I've really hit rock bottom today. Nothing makes me happy anymore and I don't think I will ever be happy again. Just walking around the block realising all I've done in my life is made other people miserable and everything I have wasn't earnt at all.

www.resetera.com

I don't know why I bother anymore

I don't know how to make it through the day anymore. Every day I just feel worse and worse. Gaming side hates me, and even participating in discussions makes me feel like I'm some kind of intruder who no one wants around. I can't talk about politics anymore because everything the Republicans do...

www.resetera.com

Maybe E3 was the final straw that broke their backs. Why does this forum have like the biggest concentration of suicidal people I've ever seen? Aren't they supposed to be so progressive and welcoming and accepting? Why do they all want to kill themselves so much?

Well at least Russell is self aware. Planetsmasher has always been incredibly miserable, so no surprise there.

On a lighter note:

Sheeit, we wasn’t smash bros and shit

It's like he expected Nintendo to add George Floyd to Smash Bros.

I've seen their threads... Even THEY know there aren't any Smash-worthy black characters. They pretend there are, but they're always a side character in a series few people care about.

After reading their responses to the Direct, Good Lord, they are incapable of feeling any joy, just like /v/.

It is really funny seeing themselves hype up every company press release with insane expectations and then get disappointed every time.
Capcom did exactly what they said they were going to do at E3, and they were absolutely livid because no new Resident Evil or Monster hunter.

 

[Coily]

We got games, like some damn fine games, but they are angry because it's not super HD69k23petaflops with Oximodian effects.

Personally, I'm glad I'm gonna suffer fog maps in Advance Wars once again.

Also, why are they losing their pretty minds over the Switch Pro?

 

[Doppelmonger]

PlanetSmasher is always whinning how something is a little different in a remake or because someone got a exclusive deal to make a game that could not exist if the creators did not take that money to soften the risk.

He (iirc) complained that "a random baka gaijin studio" got to remake Demon's Souls with their dirty hands insulting Miyasaki-Sama legacy and vision, or how he lost his mind when the rumoured Silent Hill was co-developed by Sony and that they were anti-conzoomer(TM) by locking out the competition.

Always full of negativity for a hobby that made progress since SNES, that was his trademark that made most users hate him because he could not find joy nor tried to break away his routine. I am surprised he just realised that a lot of people hate him.

Because they thought they were getting it at or before E3 because of Emily Rogers and some other leakers. The fact the Nintendo went out of their way to say “Software Only” on the presentation announcement didn’t seem to register.
