Woah! board is still garbage and filled with an abundance of bait, and every "vidya" thread is filled with retards that argue in bad faith and don't understand basic logic. Everybody are retards and literally NOBODY cares because they're either also retards, or have no principles or standards because nobody has the depth of character to care about anything but whats validated in whatever social group theyve decided to pledge allegiance to to feel better about themselves as they happily and mindlessly circlejerk videogames.

Anyway. I'm looking for 3 types of games. I'm hoping SOMEBODY will understand what I mean by this.

The first type is a type of game you can have a "deep appreciation for". Maybe people are different, but not every game I play. Even my favourite games. Are really games to "understand" at any deeper level. That's not a bad thing. Simple games are good. But sometimes there are certain games that are so tightly focused, and coherently designed that when you experience the game you go "ahhh I understand why that mechanic exist" it's like everything has an interconnected purpose. Discard this one if you can't immediately get it. Because some dude will mention DMC3 Because people interpret "purpose" in the most literal sense, justified by its existence, not it's context. I'm thinking more "Outer Wilds" or Dark Souls.

The second type is the type of game you can immerse yourself in and forget that you even exist. I don't mean a game that gives you a bunch of time wasting shit. Just a game that has a really investing world, that occupies you with tasks that feel "natural". I'm thinking Outer Wilds and Death Stranding.

The last type. Is a game that tries to address philosophical themes of "meaninglessness". And how human beings can never change or be better because they're more animal than human. Can never be anything more. Ideally a game that just feels like a giant thought experiment. I can't really think of anything to use as reference.

That is all.

DO NOT RESPOND to this adhd troon schizo.

Be aware this is the Tomb Raider/Alan Wake 2 schizo, formerly known as Socrates. A neurotic individual who repeatedly claims he wants to discuss games he never finishes (nor gets 1/3 in) who types like he's writing a script to a 6 hour video essay. If you look at the timeline of some of his archived posts alone, it becomes obvious he's a lying freak. He was shilling out the ass for Alan Wake 2 before he even finished the game a single time, while decrying all comparisons to games like REmake 2 (while he shat on the game, pretending to have played it). This then led to the freak actually attempting to play a resident evil game a week later. He is also fond of spending more time watching video essays from the likes of Joseph Anderson and Hbomberman instead of actually playing video games.

I believe he is now referring to himself in the 3rd person for some retarded reason. If not then his "friend" is certainly the peculiar poster who spams the board with his neurotic drivel.

Reminder: this mentally ill adhd troon schizo has already ruined:
- tomb raider discussions
- alan wake discussions
- resident evil discussions
- dead space discussions
- last of us discussions (lol)
- void stranger discussions
- darkwood discussions

/v/ and the Internet as a whole revolve around emotions and dopamine. If it doesn't give you instant gratification, it's not worth it. That's why theres so much rage bait here daily. That's why Anons can only argue in the most obtuse and retarded way because it gets them easy attention. Most arguments fall apart when you don't engage emotionally. Have your ever gone into a popular thread and see a post that gets a ton of replies? It's usually an egregious argument covered in multiple layers of irony to get a bunch of seething (You)'s. Genuine responses by normal people get little to no attention.

Theres nothing wrong with asking for positive reviews from people that enjoyed your game

By nature its the negativity that will be heard more in that situation, since people that enjoy the game will keep playing it without really engaging with the review system, versus a guy who hates it = he will leave a negative review after an hour.

Also, the game isnt bad, it just needs a lot more time in the oven. Its gonna stay on my wishlist until it comes out of EA, I can see the potential

I feel like I'm one of the only people who loved this game on /v/.

The map is fantastic, the animations look great, every single weapon I found had a different moveset, even weapons in the same class. It was seriously great. Of course it has issues, but it's honestly one of the better EA games.

In a way yes, which is why gaming is slop only pretty much, it just takes too much money, aka time and expertise, for passion projects that aren't snes games to be doable

I thought this post was from some literal who developer but then I look at the stats of his current game and bro acting like he's going to starve to death from these statistics alone lol. These are good stats regardless of his game's EA state so why they fuck is ge begging for lol. Personally I dont get the appeal of EA games like it would've been understandable if he gave out a free demo for people try and give feedback on but I get why these games have to exist I guess. It's just I don't see the point of buying an unfinished game with no release date in sight for when it'll eventually get out of its EA state. Also I will say that I do feel bad for publisher he got shackled with. It's the same publisher who barely even marketed Penny's Big Breakaway and left it out to die so his game getting quite popular seems like a miracle to me.

High skill floor means most new players get filtered meaning the playerbase doesn't explode, if it doesn't explode its a dead game, new people don't want to play dead games and it's a vicious feedback loop.

Marauder wasn't a difficulty filter it was just a flow killer.

Marauder was a shitty enemy design, not because it made the difficulty go up but because it made the fun go down.

That remains to be seen. No one has made a store service with all the features Steam has. You can't call something like Epic Games Store competition when they lack so many things that Steam has: reviews (which you know come from people that own the game), community boards (when EGS gave away Subnautica for free people were on the Steam forums asking for help with tech issues for a game they got on EGS), workshop/mod support integrated, a specialized program for input mapping things to a controller to play games with a controller that don't have official support, remote play to play offline split-screen online (and play emulators online if you are savy enough) and probably more. Steam's real advantage is the years they had to cultivate these features.
