On planets that aren't full of cucks, we call those mechanics "fun."

This just proves Josh knows nothing about video games. Not that it wasn't obvious before, but it's confirmed. He really should just stick movies since they don't require the whole "player interaction" and "fun" bits.

>unless it's a roguelike

why?

 

[Ravelord]

>unless it's a roguelike

why?

>He could even 40% any roguelike.

But now being serious. I would go out of my way to replay some linear games because they're just fun. Like Portal, Dark Souls or Ori and The Blind Forest because they're just fun. I don't know why he takes replayability as a "hurtful" thing for any game.

 

[AnOminous]

So by this moron's reasoning, you can't enjoy something like a favorite book/movie/etc. enough to want to revisit it again because you genuinely like it, it's because you're simply addicted...

I want someone to slap a cup of coffee out of his hands every day to save him from caffeine addiction.

I want to slap the dick out of his mouth every day.

There are a lot of ways of creating replayability, and I assume Cuck Boy is talking about procedurally generated content from the mention of roguelikes, but another way is having content that isn't easily discovered the first time around, achievements, etc.

The reason a game designer might want more than one kind of feature like this is because different game features appeal to different people and you want to appeal to as broad an audience as possible so as to make money.

This seems to elude Cuckintosh.

 

[DrJonesHat]

He has absolutely no idea what he's talking about, but in today's world, that's not a disqualifier to discourse about a subject at length. I see he jumps on the trend of pathologizing everything with calling enjoying something repeatedly an "addiction" when it's nothing of the sort. Video games can be addictive, like anything, but unless it interferes with your ability to function normally and you can't function without it, it's not an addiction. I like video games, but I don't have panic attacks if I don't play them. Words mean things.

This...is gonna be the day the earth stood still, because i actually understand his point-designing a game with the intent of having people play it over and over again is a bad idea, is what he's trying to say. There is some merit to that argument, but he's trying to talk about that and the idea of addiction in the same breath, which ks causing some crosswd wires.

I think he's talking about the pay-to-win microtransactions built into so many free to play games, that basically exist to trick children into spending hundreds of dollars of their parents' money. Oh, and get John Flynt to spend thousands of Frank's money. Chris is also a sucker for that kind of shit.

He's totally the King of No Fun Allowed, though, maybe he really is just talking about games that people enjoy playing and this is, somehow, bad.

Possibly. Maybe I was optimistic and read a point into what he was tweeting that I wanted to read-maybe I wanted him to have a tiny moment of actual intelligence. I wanted to believe there was a functioning brain in there, cause sometimes I feel a twinge of pity for the cows.

I guess the idea of addiction does work for those 'free to play' games (I personally call them 'freemium' because I can), the whole idea is to sucker you in with bright colors, encouraging sound effects, and the simplest game mechanics ever devised to entice you to spend money on them. He would have a point there if smarter people hadn't already made it for him. Freemium game makers are scumbags, in other news, the sun rises in the east.

I do think he's talking about freemium games in the first part, but the Cuck had to ruin what could've been a good point by saying replayability in general is overrated.

He does this shit all the time. Cuckmeister can't leave a promising idea alone without #fullMcIntosh'ing its cornhole.

If replayability is overrated then how does Dwarf Fortress exist? Checkmate, faggot.

 

[Fulda's Gap]

Replayability, as a principle of game design, is lost on "Daddy's Defense Contracts Bought My Degree" McIntosh. Not everyone wants to spend $50-$60 on a fucking 5 hour game.

Tell that to Europeans who get fucked, frequently, with pricing.

DF exists because Toady is fucking insane and so is most of the fanbase.

 

[CervixHammer]

I can't wait for this bitch to start whining about Westworld instead of how men aren't doing enough to punish Trump for talking about grabbing women by the pussy.

Spoiler: #YesAllMen

(obligatory joke about Trump grabbing Anita by the Josh goes here)

 

[Anightinchristine]

"Hi fellow progressive guys" - if that doesn't sound like a quote that sums up who Josh thinks he is at his core, I don't know what is.

 

[DrJonesHat]

As a progressive, I feel compelled to respond to this self-righteous tripe: Don't lump me in with you loser. I don't flagellate myself for having a dick. I treat women with respect, but I don't think this entitles me to a gold star. That's what you're supposed to do. Stop acting like you're a white knight come to save the precious ladies. It's condescending and insulting, and yes, sexist. You are what you hate Jonathan. Yes, men should hold other men accountable for being sexist pigs, and saying stupid shit but we shouldn't expect accolades for being a decent person. He also probably wouldn't like it when I call out radfems for saying misandrist shit. Gender-based hate is wrong, regardless of the recipient. Being the member of a disadvantaged minority doesn't make you immune to criticism when you do/say something stupid.

[Trober]

Josh talking about games fitting a mold is hilarious when he fits the mold to a T of wealthy privileged white kid that thinks they know better than everyone else.

 

[Fapcop]

The gaming industry will not stop glorifying violent toxic forms of masculinity until critics stop accepting it as just part of the deal.

AHAHAHA!!
Phew, I needed a good laugh today, and McIncuck delivered a real bellyacher!

So this little twerp seriously thinks that "critics" have that kind of power?

He really believes, that if only all game critics and reviewers were replaced with pedo-glass wearing neckbeards and cultural Marxist, they'd be able to circle jerk and shame game producers into forgoing the most profitable and popular genres?

Instead release-schedules would become filled with games that explore the lives of Lesbian carpenters, or whatever McIncuck thinks is relevant?

This fella is surprisingly ignorant of capitalism and how markets work, considering his social class is "filthy rich"..

Josh talking about games fitting a mold is hilarious when he fits the mold to a T of wealthy privileged white kid that thinks they know better than everyone else.

At this point, at least he's refreshingly honest with his agenda.

He's about one circlejerk away from saying what we all know he believes:

"Game producers should stop making games entertaining and fun, so men would spend more time listening and believing!"

In McIncucks Marxist paradise, a popular passtime for teenage boys and young men, would be to go to a bar or concert hall, and pay 40$ to hear an angry lesbian rant for two hours...

and the cycle begins anew

Like clockwork, Josh clings to the latest hot thing in geek culture and whines about how "problematic" is it without actually having read/watched/played it.

Funny how he was whining about a bad internet connection getting in the way of him playing a game as violent and bloody as Diablo III, and now he's buttmad that Rockstar is making another great game without his input.

Listen up, Joshy - you're not Anita. She dumped your dumb ass for greener pastures. Her whole schtick of "That's a nice game there - shame if someone called it sexist" doesn't work for you because you don't have a vagina.

Stick to beating off to montages of magic cartoon teenagers crying , Joshy.

 

[AngeloTheWizard]

Nobody creative wants to live in your world, Joshy. Story tellin' types like myself want to tell the stories we want to tell, and if violence is part of the story, suck it up.
