Why are vidya aesthetics only ever declining
These days it feels like there's only two options, soulless corpo slop and amateur tumblr indie crap
Why are vidya aesthetics only ever declining
You could just play older games
Yes to both options
that was the nineties bro bro
a severe lack of testosterone, and gaming becoming mainstream along with the rise of consoles. AAA devs aren't willing to scare off customers by making something with identity, they just want grey sludge for some all-person that only exists as on a pie chart
a lot of old PC exclusive games like Fallout, Thief, Arcanum etc are far more mature than games made today, their worldbuilding, themes, characters, writing and basically everything are miles ahead of what came after
idk man there's a lot of reasons but the TL;DR is that games should've been gatekept religiously
Wait, is Fallout GURPS?? (Never played GURPS)
Old Fallout's aesthetic was just Mad Max 2. It was all punks and sleaze.
it's 100% because most developers have bean counters who own the studio plus retarded investors that demand that line go up every quarter.
That's wrong though
gatekeep!!!!!!!
Homie, you're on the other side of the gate holding a picket sign screaming about people going in.
You aren't on the inside. You were never on the inside. You aren't a creative. You are a consumer. You produce nothing. You will never produce anything.
just play new vegas
inb4 seething
No, they wanted to use GURPS, but they could not due to disagreements with the person that created it, so they created SPECIAL instead.
And what about you
play ashes 2063
I make porn for Anon Babble fetish threads.
Ok I wasn't expecting that
muh testosterone
the problem with this line of thinking is that it can also be used to defend absolute goyslop such as 7th gen brown and bloom piss filter shooters.
sure testosterone is a measure, but it's not a target.
It isn't much, but it's honest practice for personal non-porn projects.
I'd recommend doing cum-brain content if you have creative aspirations. It gives you reason and motivation to research and practice shit.
Well personally I like cum brain content because it's good stress relief
…which fetishes…?
out yourself
Nah, bro. Have fun guessing.
The people that played these games were low t social outcast nerds who were most likely fat fucks. High T gamers don't give a shit about narrative or lore or complex mechanics they just wanted to shoot guns. Gamers during the 7th gen and beyond were more likely to be chad thundercocks who just wanted to own some noobs in call of duty and halo

oh please, anon. you are not as sophisticated as you view yourself to be. I won't even spare a (You)
high t this
low t that
I miss the days when people just played video games and niches could be had for everyone
sophisticated
For sure, homeslice. I wear tweed suits and puff on my pipe while sipping a martini and making porn for degens.
You wear Dorito-stained graphic tees while sitting on your fat uncreative ass whining about how people who actually make things should have been "gatekept".
older gen developers took more risks. they also took inspiration from other mediums like books, board games, and movies.
buddy you make furry porn, you're not some Tony Montana looking motherfucker
Because of increasing developing team size.
An inability to recognize and understand sarcasm is a potential sign of autism. Have you been tested?
Game development in the 90s
I think this would be cool
I found the 4-12 people who agree
we made this
Game development now:
our investment analysts say there is a demand for game that consists of x and y and we will hire 200 people to make that
Sarcasm isn’t recognizable in text. We can’t hear your tone of voice.
Doesn't explain indiefags
Because indies are on a completely different playing field now.
What that other anon was posting about was the mindset of gaming companies
what are you guys doing not playing underrail?
Because you're a nostalgia addled fuck.
The way media has always worked is that mediocre/terrible stuff gets forgotten, and only the cream of the crop is remembered.
Is it actually trying to be a game or is it typical indie shit that's designed to be a huge meme
people DO realize that using sprite or even pseudo-sprite graphics style will limit your games to just fixed camera angles, right?
at least 3d games allow for a free moving camera.
Indies imitate AAA
There is nothing wrong with fixed camera angles
Fallout does have soul
its the best fallout-like ever made and my personal favorite CRPG, if that means anything to you. just look up some videos talking about it if you're curious. i would recommend it if you like fallout 1-2.
I also live in Fresno
will limit your games to just fixed camera angles, right?
...and?
at least 3d games allow for a free moving camera.
...and?
I already played them. I want new games with a good aesthetic.
have you played underrail? if not, go do that.
Yeah, I do feel like the old Fallout aesthetics were partially influenced by the industrial aesthetics used throughout the 80s and 90s. Just that mixed with art deco really. Bethesda really missed the point where the "world of tomorrow" stuff wasn't the sleek and clean 60s vision of the future. That was just used in commercials and propaganda when the actual prewar world was an industrial hellscape.
Games, even the nerds of the past, were masculine compared to today. Look at old ID, Doom was heavily influenced by D&D (genre that only had men and were for men, said by Gaiger himself even though he let his daughter play and even admitted to saying that men should have higher strength than females), guns and heavy metal (The most masculine genre in existence). Gaming was a boys club. Everything went to shit when D&D also went to shit which was a change in the zeitgeist heavily influenced by money and politics. So everything got faggotized, females were now catered to which meant the shit that men find cool, like dark graphics, blood, guns, heavy metal, had to go. Development philosophy also changed with less complex mechanical abilities and more streamlined approach were introduced.
Fourth post, best post.
