@oopsallsolace LATE 2000s! Compare all those games to the likes of Deus Ex, Half Life 2, Katamari, Ico, No One Lives Forever. The piss filter might have been an artistic choice, but it was part of that corporate AAA gaming era and no one wants it back.

@revenant_MMXX I stopped playing GTA when it became more about how horrible people were and less about Vice City / Saints Row 2 gang warfare shenanigans. THAT was the good stuff.

GTA V wasn't even really cynical, it had that forced George Carlin tryhard Reddit cynicism rather than actually hitting on anything real or believable, like that coworker who makes a safe edgy joke and gives you an expectant lingering look waiting for you to feign shock in kind. GTA IV's cynicism was truly incisive.
Carlos That Notices Things@QuetzalPhoenix

GTA 4 committing the unforgivable sin of trying to tell a genuine & heartfelt tragedy is probably why GTA 5 was so cynical & mean and hollow & successful. Rockstar leaned into their worst most spiteful instincts & they were rewarded more than they could ever imagine. Cursed game.

@oopsallsolace The slow player movement and excessive dialogue are reeeeeaalllyyy tough to push through after the elegant simplicity of the immortal RTCW. But I'd play Wolf 2009 any day over the DEI abomination of Colossus.

People always stone me for saying Wolf 2009 is an amazing game flawed by that era's trends Wolfenstein 2009 is the best Indiana Jones feeling game we ever got up until the Great Circle, amazing atmosphere and great gameplay elements, and it looks pretty cool too!
Michael | Making STATIC ZERO 🔻@ArkhamDreamer

Wolfenstein 2009 is easily the most underrated game in the franchise, and it's a damn shame that the supernatural elements were subsequently dropped.

@KaiKai2492 Heartily agree with this post. Arcane are now a pathetic shell of themselves now, invested with leftist ideology.

"Amazing game unfairly defamed by influences and failing to sell" "awful games being praised by biased content creators and massively succeeding." Prey is a masterpiece and maybe the greatest Immersive Sim of all time and because it failed we got Redfall and lost Arkane Austin. Meanwhile every Madden/2K generates insane profit for EA and practically carries that company financially.

Genuine non ragebait question, can someone give me legitimate examples of amazing games being unfairly defamed by influences and failing to sell, and opposite, absolutely awful games being praised by biased content creators and massively succeeding?

Been dusting off my #GodotEngine projects, hadn't even opened this one in a year. It's basically a Dark Souls/Kings Field + Baroque type of game with emphasis on combat, platforming and that late 90s flair of dark fantasy atmosphere! #indiedev #retro #psx #darksouls #kingsfield

@RazorwireRPG CDPRs interpretation resulted in a good game - eventually - but the edgelordish results really aren't "Cyberpunk" IMHO.

@PlayStationPark PS2 era had so much to offer but game covers in the USA suffered from lame design by committee for a mainstream audience.

@ShitpostRock2 But it's still an open world third person hack and slash like many of them. Nice visuals yes. But the gameplay is puddle deep.

@EpicMcDude It's as if deep gameplay systems matter. Despite what the corporatist slop of AAA gaming wants you to believe.

@Trutown Let me simplify further: corporatism. It took over throughout the 2000s. Just compare box covers of early 2000s PC and PS2 games (let alone 90s games) with late 2000s games. Then through the 2010s DEI and liberal ideology began taking over as well.

@RazorwireRPG New Vegas and London are proof that first person RPGs work. The problem is: Bethesda.

@Pirat_Nation Not defending Ubishaft. Resynced IMHO looks cleaner, clearer, crisper and more detailed. No piss filter either. But, possibly, losing some of the art direction of the original. Still not buying an AssCreed game in principle though.

@SmashJT Not defending Ubishaft at all. But IMHO in this case, "resynced" loses some of the original art direction, but gains a lot of extra detail, clarity and loses the godawful piss filter. Not the worst "remake", but I'm not buying in.

@sir_autismo Get good, scrub. And get out of here mentioning that garbage modern graphics engine. We do, however, definitely need more immersive first person dungeon crawlers. NOT grid based.

Dude, King’s Field is literally unplayable! It’s got outdated graphics and tank controls, there’s no map so I always get lost, and I keep dying constantly! These games need a modern remake with UE5 graphics, over-the-shoulder gameplay, yellow paint, and an easy mode!

@DXFromYT Because AAA in the west has been infested with radical liberal and feminist ideology, hence we get - for example - utter garbage like the latest Dragon Age. Capcom need to ditch Denuvo, but otherwise, they're going gangbusters.

Finished Pragmata. What a beautiful game. This is the type of game I want to see more of. AAA has been sorely lacking tighter, appropriately priced experiences with experimental mechanics. Hell of a story too. I laughed, I cheered, I cried. There'll definitely be a video!
