”I cannot enjoy a video game if it sells above 5 million units. I just … can’t...

I don't care if it sells well, I only care if I hear normies talking about it. Terraria sold like 50 million copies and you don't hear Steve Football talking about it.

OP is really butthurt about people not consooming the slop he likes, huh.

I will play tarkov(sp)
Fuck you Nikita

he even reddit spaces so perhaps

Just don't play the game if you've resorted to single player. Have some self respect.

Me when I learned my Anon Babblebros actually like marvel rivals

but Anon Babble will tell you that if your game didn't sell a trillion copies in the first day it basically flopped and it's completely insignificant

Therapy: based or cringe?

Retards treating a game like it's the second coming of Christ turns me off more than sales. I will NEVER play TLOU, Expedition 33, or Elden Ring.

But it's fun. Playing at your own pace and shcadule.
Also I fucking suck ass at video games so let me kill some bots and loot maxx

that's a nice thread, sales still aren't a metric that matter to any subject that isn't strictly business or economic

popular=bad

Why are they still eating then? Food is extremely popular.

Based and probably good for you if can find a good one otherwise they'll waste your time or just mess with you

We can be your therapists for free, Anon. What the fuck?

Never played this game, which console?

Yea but you need something empirical. Chose whatever metric you want as long as it's not autists saying soul and kino.

A game selling that many copies means that it appeals to the modern audience and therefore means that it’s dumbed down.

This. Monster Hunter World is a perfect example. Utterly dumbed down and simplified from the classic series.

But the previous games sold 5+ million too

Is kenshi fun? I'm tired of the zomboid dev being a humongous fag

empirical AND relevant. sales are a vaguely related non-sequitur at best when it comes to critical analysis, otherwise shit like avatar (the blue people movie) and pokemon scarlet and violet would "objectively" be the best shit to ever drop on the planet, while your favorite indie game is a shit stain that shouldn't have seen the light of day. it's retarded when you give it a second of thought

It's pretty good, just be ready to savescum at first.

Cringe unless you're about to kill yourself or got molested

Don't

Ha

why 5 million in particular?

It sounds like your enjoyment is tied to a sense of uniqueness or exclusivity, Let’s talk about why widespread popularity feels threatening to your experience.

We are in a world where fags use subjectivity as an excuse to deflect criticism as to why a piece of media is bad. To them as long as one person likes (or pretends to like) something it’s not bad.

normalniggers that outright deny that they don't get at least a little joy from that sense of exclusivity are no better than cattle

The more normalfags play something the more likely it is to be turned into mass appeal garbage that loses everything that made it unique in the first place. Which is something that has been documented over and over with different pieces of media. Mass appeal is the cancer that kills nearly everything it touches including the companies that try to go for it.

Please Anon, we don't say the N word in my clinic.

That’s a valid concern, when something becomes mainstream, it often changes to fit broader tastes. It’s okay to feel loss over that.

my only social outlet is an anonymous anime imageboard

NIGGER

Depends on the therapist.
Some will legitimately try to help you accept the hand you've been dealt and move on.
Others will try to sell you living in imagination land to make you a forever-patient.

Whoops, that was less appropriate gif. In any case, our time is up, that'll be $300 please.

Games aren’t really mainstream though. Most people don’t play them or actually engage with the subculture. It’s mostly just a bunch of bandwagoning posers get mad when people call them out on that fact. They don’t play they consume, they only show enjoyment in so far as as the collective dictates they can.

Is kenshi fun?

NTA, I'd call kenshi interesting more than fun.
If you're someone who tends to grind their character up to whatever's reasonably achievable in the area, then you're in for a while of watching bars fill up.
If you're willing to just go with the flow, instead, it's probably more interesting and fun as shit hits the fan and you have to deal with it.

I look like this and say this

I just want to play STALKER without mutants

An hour late but still appreciated, Anon.
