Blackpill videogames are horrible

[BrendioEEE]

Smooth gameplay, a whole new concept of gameplay or more financial backing and technological advancement doesn't say anything about its quality itself imo. If you mean that.

I'm talking entirely from a gameplay, content, and immersion perspective. The Trinity of what makes games good from a GAMEplay perspective. People who enjoy video games for reasons such as story or other reasons of course will disagree, but they're not speaking from a gameplay perspective, thus their opinion should be treated as a gamers perspective. For example if I enjoy a book for the pictures or how the pages feel instead of the story that's not really from a readers perspective I enjoy the game.

Non emotional/socipathic is a meme and does not exist in a medical way. Funny that we claim to have the same approach to this topic though. A lot of games content got objectively shrunken down or they became outright skinners boxes and I am not even against streamlining. Your stance really baffles me.

Complete sociopathy does not exist, sociopathic tendencies, or as it is medically defined "Antisocial personality disorder" does exist. It does allow you to see things from a much more rational perspective. I do not claim to be 100% emotionless, just that my emotions are dull'd, and since i'm also aware of Estrogen and Testosterone levels, aswell as other factors combined with this I am very confident in my ability to view things from a non emotional perspective.

Games have absolutely gotten bigger, unless you're talking about things like text adventures or isometric RPGs which aren't really gameplay focused experiences, they might have the story, and content, but the medium in which you interact with said content is not really from an immersive gameplay perspective. It's from a non real time third person perspective on average, which is much more akin to a visual novel, or a choose your own adventure novel, than to a video game, or a simulation.

There is nothing in the past for example which has the gameplay and content admixture that modern games of the past 5-10 years have, and this admixture is important.

Maybe we just mean the same thing. If you would look at a graph, yes things go uphill, but overall games stay back behind their capabilities and while improving in certain sectors, quality goes down in others, (imo this has to do with checkbox development akin to hollywood production methods and normiefication overall, just a sidenote). Yes or no? We are not talking about indies here, right? Or did it improve in the last years? I didn't play for a while? My last up to date PC was from 2012, I think? I get the timeline fucked up. To much LDAR.

I am not talking about Indies no.

If that's not the case give me some more examples, please. What do you think about the new Fallout?

Fallout 4 is a very controversial game, from my perspective, which I believe to be pretty objective, in terms of a proper admixture of different factors it lacks below Skyrim, however in comparison to previous Fallouts, yes all of them, and even including Skyrim, they improved gameplay and added so much content, that really made up for it. You cannot name a single game, that has the quality of gameplay and content admixture in a better form than Fallout 4. You can find games that have more and better content but worse gameplay, and you can find games that have better gameplay but less content. Video games are like food, this gets made fun of on /v/ with the whole fool analogy thing, but Bethesda are like a sandwich dealer, everyone else is like an ingredient dealer. ID Software might make the best cheese in the world, Rockstar games might make the best lettuce, another company might make the best bread, etc you get the point, but the Bethesda is pretty much the only company attempting to combine all the ingredients together, they might not be the BEST ingredients but they're the only combination of said ingredients, the only vendor selling sandwiches, instead of sandwich ingredients, with the only attempts to mimic them coming from the developers of Kingdom Come Deliverance and CD Project Red.

Fallout 4 is not my favorite game by any means, but to deny how great it is because it lacks in story or dialogue options is ridiculous, because from a gameplay and content perspective nothing can compare. There's this phrase that gets thrown around, "Jack of all trades, master of none" this phrase would have more weight to it if there were other Jacks of all trades, and they weren't constantly trying to improve. Fallout 4's core combat and gameplay had assisted development from people who worked at Machine games, ID Software, and Bungie, to pretend that the gameplay is mediocre or bad is retarded, it's nothing spectacular, but it doesn't have to be, it's a vast improvement. Also with its modding capabilities, an advertised official feature, you can customize the game to play it however you wish. Whether you want to mod the game to be a survival sim that rivals the likes of Stalker, and where you actually fear death, or something else.

Maybe this has just to do with my ADHD and my perfectionism and the changes don't affect rather "normal" people.

I have ADHD aswell, i'm not sure that's the issue here.

all those games are horrible

Cope

fucking nerds in my threads ffs

Cope. Lack of empathy doesn't equal lack of emotions. The latter is not a symptom of any of the contemplable disorders. This is just a common misconception stemming from Hollywood movies.

I somewhat agree, but you see the things in a more positive light and you set a different main focus.

From what I saw WIII and KC felt much more in the tracks of old times and how games should be today. There aren't really many "sandwhich" games out there, but this used to be different having regard to the limits of the game's limited eras.

What would you say are your favorite modern games?

Lack of Empathy does not = Lack of Emotions, this is true, however, you'd be surprised how widespread empathy goes and how much it effects even minute decision making. When you're low inhibition and lack empathy, the only way to not end up as some manipulative delinquent as many people do, is to understand an objective way at morality from a logical perspective. I mostly developed this through studying biology, but this is somewhat off topic. Also, outside of Anti Social Personality Disorder, you can measure how people will act emotionally to a very high degree, based on their IQ, testosterone, and estrogen levels, neural synapses also have an effect. For example low IQ + high T = low verbal IQ, impatience, using violence as a means to solve all problems, and I wont go into every combination, but different combinations of IQ, T, and E lead to very very very VERY predictable states of mental being. I know what T and E levels are, I know what my IQ is, I have undergone psychological evaluations, I know my core genetic makeup, I know for a fact that I am not 100% emotionless, I never claimed to be, there are things I love, and there are things that make me irrational, and there are things that I hate, however I am confident enough in my logical understanding of myself that I can make more objective decisions and insights than most other people. Anyways as I said this is why off topic.

I'm not a fan of RTS games, and i'm not sure what KC is, i'm assuming it's an RTS aswell, I would view these more as digital board games, rather than gameplay focused or escapism focused experiences.

And what are my favorite modern games? Well look i'm an individual who really does not like existence, i'm not nihilistic, I believe in morality, however, I still feel like everything is boring and losing purpose, so what I look for in a video game, and statistically speaking, what most men, especially young men look for in a video game outside of the competitive sphere is being able to experience other worlds in the most immersive ways possible so you can at least pretend you're not in hell anymore, and seeing the world through another persons eyes.

However I also have ADHD, which if you study and research what ADHD actually is, it's not really a disorder, it's more of a hunter gatherer trait, commonly prevalent in males, people with ADHD tend to do better in combative and fast paced environments. So games that interest me tend to be things that can give the illusion of escaping to another world, such as Skyrim, Fallout 4, open world games, Real time action combat RPGs/ARPGs, and of course games that are extremely paced, preferably with violence, such as Doom 2016, Hotline Miami, Lethal League, things of that nature.

I meant The Witcher III and Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Last part became a smiley. D'oh.

Would you say there are better games than Skyrim and Fallout 4 out there?

Just recommend me some more of your favorites.

Could you specifiy the hormonal and genetical setup that supports your rational perception?

BTW I don't want to get worked up over the other topics, but I had the impression you are a third reich sympathizer talking about germany in that one bitcoin thread and not meaning the post-war era, I never came back to you because I have a to low drive. Maybe I am wrong. It just interests me now again in light of your latest deliberations.

Crypto isn't a solution to the current system, in fact its just a zombified self created cancerous limb of it. Capitalism when given no restrictions in the current world only benefits those who are already in power. Same with Marxist socialism of course. You can have an economy and businesses and banking without Usury, and a gambling aspect. We've had this in the past, we had this in Germany aswell obviously, etc. It's not 100% free market or 100% control, in the current system that only benefits (((Them))).

Oh, well let me address that part in context then.

From what I saw WIII and KC felt much more in the tracks of old times and how games should be today. There aren't really many "sandwhich" games out there, but this used to be different having regard to the limits of the game's limited eras.

Witcher 3 isn't really like old games, it's a very modern game especially gameplay wise, it does offer a lot more choice and dialogue options, but the way it gets away with this is by removing the option to create a blank slate character and offer true freedom and immersion. According to the leaks of early development builds of the game, they wanted Cyberpunk 2077 to be a blank slate RPG, heavily inspired by a lot of Bethesda elements from what it sounded like, but much more akin to isometric RPGs and tabletop RPGs in terms of choice, but they realized, as most developers do, that you can't have true freedom like those old games with the modern advanced gameplay without billions of dollars and thousands upon thousands of people, or tons of years, and they don't have billions of dollars, and they don't have thousands upon thousands of people, and they aren't willing spend over a decade working on the game. Skyrim, believe it or not still offers more in terms of actual freedom than The Witcher 3 or Kingdom Come deliverance.

Kingdom Come Deliverance is much more similar to Skyrim, but it still doesn't really offer a blank slate, it's still a great game tho, much more immersive than The Witcher 3 in a lot of ways.

Would you say there are better games than Skyrim and Fallout 4 out there?

Not in terms of the concept of the sandwich, but in terms of ingredients of course, there's plenty of better games that offer certain experiences that are much better than Skyrim and Fallout 4, but it's highly contextual.

MGSV Appeals to the resource gathering mindset of men, invading other peoples bases and stealing resources in the end game using highly advanced stealth tactics, MGSV I would say is one of the best stealth games, not as a stealth game specifically, but as a stealth game that also appeals to the resource gathering aspect, and content aspects that do appeal to males.

I appreciate the combat of Bloodborne much more than I appreciate the combat of Fallout 4 and Skyrim, when you play it at a high level, it's very fast paced, rip and tear, etc.

Dying Light, Titanfall 2, Mirrors Edge Catalyst, they all have great movement mechanics that absolute BTFO Fallout 4 and Skyrim.

Fallout New Vegas offers a lot of choice that Skyrim and Fallout 4 don't have but it lacks in terms of gameplay and content. Luckily the modding scene is much more active so there always seems to be new content popping up, even if it takes a bit to come out.

Basically what i'm saying is it's hard to definitively say any game is better than Skyrim and Fallout 4 because there aren't really any games like Skyrim and Fallout 4 that have this extreme balance of gameplay and content. The closest things I can think of as I said are the Witcher 3 and Kingdom Come Deliverance, and of course the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 but as I said they had to cut back a lot of the freedom in that game and force you to play as a defined character, however it seems a lot more akin to Fallout 4 in the sense that while the characters you choose are somewhat defined, they have a name at least, you can choose their gender and appearance, ASWELL as choose their backstory a bit, however their name, and personality, are still relatively defined and chosen for you, which is a shame, but it absolutely the potential to be much better than Fallout 4, and depending on how much content and freedom, even with a relatively fixed character, can still be better than Skyrim, however Skyrim still has the advantage of being a blank slate, and seeing as how Bethesda seemed to Indicate that for their next games (Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6) that there wont be a voice protagonist, and they have such a high budget for these games, even if Cyberpunk 2077 beats Fallout 4 and Skyrim, it's highly doubtful once Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6 come out it will beat those, but at least Bethesda will have some actual competition and not be the only sandwich maker anymore, at least not a complete sandwich.

Just recommend me some more of your favorites.

Well there's plenty of New games that are some of my favorites, some old ones too, but sure I already mentioned some but:
MGSV
Bloodborne
Dark Souls 2/3
Shadow of Mordor
Dying Light
GTAV (Not a fan of the focus on the multiplayer and how they scrapped singleplayer expansions tho)
Far Cry 3-5 including spinoffs
Watch_Dogs 1 (Might sound contrarian but I can actually back up that Watch Dogs 1 is better than Watch Dogs 2)
Doom 2016
Ghost Recon Wildlands

I can name more but you get the point, my point i'm making is I can't think of many if any old games that are actually better than these new ones, from a gameplay or content perspective, especially in their respective genres, this doesn't need to be a Bethesda discussion, this is about new games in general, and i've played just about every popular game from the 80s the 2010s, even tho I was born in 1996 I still went back and played em.

Could you specifiy the hormonal and genetical setup that supports your rational perception?

Well if you examine racial, gender, and ethnic data on hormonal makeups, IQ, etc what you'll find is certain races have very specific averages in terms of chemical makeup, this is important because as I said you can track how people make decisions based on these factors. For example, africans on average have higher testosterone and lower IQs, thus on average are more prone to violence instead of making rational decisions.

Asians on average have lower testosterone, NOT increased estrogen mind you, there's a common misconception that because Asians on average have less T they're more feminine, this is not the case, the less T and E you have the more androgynous and less emotional you become. This is why Asians are more patient on average, but act robotic and odd sometimes.

Europeans have a VERY very balanced mix of both, especially males of course, and this balance allows for greatness that no other race is really capable of, I know this is getting into dangerous waters, but the fact that this genetic makeup among Europeans, which is the most similar genetic makeup even between all the European races, from Spaniards to Slavs, the capability of making sound decisions, and innovating, and being capable of logic seems to be more common among the genetic makeup of Europeans.

Now of course this is based on AVERAGES right? So if you were to individually measure an individuals T, E, IQ, and other genetic factors and predispositions, you can make logical assumptions about that person to even greater degree than you can about a race on average, and I remember from my genetic makeup, i'm pretty confident that, I obviously wouldn't say I have a perfect genetic makeup by any means, however I do have a genetic makeup, combined with IQ, and ASPD which does naturally predispose me to be much more capable of making less emotion based decisions.

BTW I don't want to get worked up over the other topics, but I had the impression you are a third reich sympathizer talking about germany in that one bitcoin thread and not meaning the post-war era, I never came back to you because I have a to low drive.

Yeah i'm Natsoc.
