Why don't we ever get creepypastas based on modern vidya?

Why don't we ever get creepypastas based on modern vidya?

Irony ruined the internet

Overdesigned graphics/world and poorly overwritten stories leave no room for mystery or wonder that can be filled with horror.

Modern illiteracy epidemic. If you think it's bad at how often you can write a post and have 10 people reply of which only 1 actually comprehended the core point, that is just a small sample of posters. People like that are in every corner of the world, including writing video games. People writing stories on the internet are not "experts", they are people who come from a batch of progressively-less-literate humans that reaches the internet every year.

Stories about games and stories in games both suffer from this.

There's already a lot of cope in the thread, but the sad truth is that literally nobody actually likes most modern gaming and secondary media for them is made by actual just straight up paid shills, so there's nobody making anything of any real substance about modern games.
No Humanity
No Substance

well, make one

NES Godzilla is the last fanfiction that has SOUL
Most fanfictions and creepypastas now have zero soul they are just words and words and words.

OMFGZ WHAT IS SANIC THE HEDGEDOG IS...LE EVIL?!

Creepypasta was always retarded.

like fr fr no cap my fellow zoomers

zoomers will turn any scary concept into a playful fun franchise because they need to add lore and backstory for every single detail. look at any modern SCP and you will find an entire novel to explain big face teeth man

Because there was enough mystery on the old internet that the creepypasta MIGHT be real now you have faggots that go "NUH UH ITS FAKE LOL THIS IS SO DUMB I DATAMINED THE GAME AND AKSUALLY IT DOESNT EXIST"

Do you know what time it is?
Time for the official Anon Babble approved creepypasta list!

how the fuck is that Godzilla

Which one would win? Hellbeast or godzilla?

Cause everything is done for monetary gain/fame nowadays if you make a creepypasta you'd want to monetise it get fame become the next "skibidi toilet" instead of just naturally wanting to write something cool like back then then you'll wanna make an entire series an entire lore dump AGPs twitter posts merch etc

Why the fuck is it so popular?

WE DID IT GUYS, WE RUINED DAVID KAIN'S LIFE

Old = Mysterious. It's that simple. Would you look at a construction site and say "I bet that building they're working on is going to be haunted when it's complete"?

because minorities are scarier than demons

I FUCKING LOVE MINECRAFT ARGS AHHHHHH

/thread

I honestly feel indie games like Undertale and Mindcraft are the only places you can really get that creepypasta energy anymore.
Modern AAA games just don't work since they are far too big and realistic looking.
Ain't nobody want to read a creepypasta about boring ass shit like the Assassins Creed franchise but we still get lots of creepypastas based on FNAF

Oversaturation. Also 99% were just shit.

fundamental lack of understanding how analog media functions

"already a lot of cope in the thread"

proceeds to just repeat the three things that were posted

Lacking reading comprehension, are we?

Proceeds to repeat the three things that were posted

My post concerned nothing about

Irony

"Overdesigned graphics"

Literacy problems

The closest you could get to asserting as such is that "poorly overwritten stories" aligns with nobody actually liking the crap that comes out these days. Which would be fishing so wide it'd render comparing pointless.

when you teluged but she keeps sucking

There is nothing mysterious about Dilipsun Anal slapping Unreal store assets together.

It's decently written and it keeps the straight up paranormal shit to a goofy twist at the end where a plush appears on his bed and the implication that a Sonic game made his friend vanish

Everything went downhill when Urbanspook entered the scene.

Look

Watch the sky

Urban was the last time i felt unsettled by AH, especially at first when nobody knew him and i jsut got the first 2 episodes in my recomended

Leave RED to me

If you look at it from making a ROMhack as part of the storytelling? Yeah, it's not bad. Most creepypastas just spew words about muh realistic blood eyes, but BEN actually put effort into itself.
The story and ARG behind it are...kind of a mess, but that's because Jadusable got distracted with finishing up college and just giving less of a shit with people trying to hijack his ARG and spout constant fan theories across the entire internet. King Kong was the perfect way to end it. The sheer rage it caused devastated creepypasta communities for a few years afterwards, although today you only see praise for it because lmao funny monke.

I think so, I find the videos spooky even after all these years. Still my personal favorite creepypasta to this day...

The Six-Legged Rape Centaur

I don't know what this is, but kek

Something most people are missing here is that even back then, creepypastas weren’t getting made about current games. They were all about the author revisiting a game from their childhood and their copy turning out to be haunted, for that “lost innocence / ruined childhood” feel. NES Godzilla was as old when the creepypasta was made as Morrowind is now. That being said, less detailed graphics and more open ended “figure it out yourself” game design did leave more room for mystery than the hyperrealistic handholding theme parks we have right now.

I’ll add, Anon Babble loves to cry about le zoomers peepeepoopoomers being into it but the liminal spaces bullshit with Mario 64 and Source Engine maps is the modern videogame creepypasta. Adults going back to games from their childhood and finding something unsettling in them (emptiness befitting of a ghost town, specially for the once-populated Source maps)

OMFGZ WHAT IF THING....LE BAD

"le" posters were always retarded.

The reveal that it was a whole ARG the whole time was mind blowing, but i don't remember anything about the actual followup, so it wasn't exactly worht the hype

Everything went to crap when Gemini Entertainment stopped posting.

You’d be playing the Blame Game if you were looking for a “someone”. I think it just became a game of one-upping current works. Channel 58 was so high quality that you needed to match at least 50% of its production value to stand out. Then some guy brought in practical effects and costumes and stuff just started getting more and more complex. Some series were just puzzle games, ARG split across multiple media formats. Others were “low quality”, a teen with an editing software or really good horror paintings and edgy humor.The controversies didn’t help. When you hear that one of the Analog/Creepypasta giants is an abuser or a pedo it kinda takes the wind out of your sails even more. Then you had the parodies, those were my favourite: From Hotdog Archives to Summon House, but some people took them for granted, just judged them as the real thing…
I like how far we’ve come in complexity, compared to the original Creepypastas being just spooky stories with a single thumbnail picture. But i feel we lost something, its less about just telling a scary story and more about being the best scary story, the immortalised one. Also everyone is jaded now. How many of you watched or read a AnalogH/CreepyP last week? Do you have an ARG you plan to decode this weekend? Or are we just so bitter and tired and bored that we cannot sit down to have fun with our hobbies? Maybe nothing is actually wrong with them

STILL NO MCDONALDS BUILDING

Hyper realistic eyes and hyper realistic eyes mesh badly.
