We are reaching a point where cutscenes in video games will teach 70, maybe 80+ percent of the story and they will be locked behind paid dlc. You can play the game but you will have to read notes, listen to audio clips. The guys who paid 300$ for the 50$ AAAAAAA game will be the only ones who will get to "enjoy" the whole story. You'll have to struggle through it if you even can. There's nothing you can do about it, either. You can't even afford the RAM or GPU required to render the cutscenes anyway. Go ahead and ask chatgpt how to bypass the limitations. You'll be mocked by it and the entire staff when it's forwarded as an email attachmentRT: https://poa.st/objects/aa594784-d07a-4b3a-97c0-3c1677ac9cd5

@Sui @Shadowman311 Definitely isn't but I think we're nearing an apex with gaming and microtransactions where you unlock parts of the story via in game transactions

Yeah it attracted way too many normies, now we have to wait while the corpos ruin it enough for those braindead faggots to stop buying and we can have our hobby back. In the meantime at least there are some fun indie games, if you filter out the tranny devs.

@Sui @Shadowman311 @graf 3 was such a letdown after 1 and 2. The "road to rule" was the most contrived bullshit. Just let me strongfatmaxx and keep a second shame family in a swamp shack, I don't need some Nigerian reading a step-by-step guide on what plot points to hit in order to get a castle

I didn't play 2 because by the time it was available for emulation I'd lost interest, 1 was decent but overhyped because molyneux. The entire point of 3's just kinda pointless, just become a landlord and all of the "moral choices" are just background noise. I guess the game's message was just "Your older brother was a retarded faggot who couldn't work out real estate".

@Sui @Shadowman311 @graf 2 was the best of the trilogy in my opinion. It didn't take itself as seriously as 1 and 3, and Fable's at its best when it's just self-aware enough to know that the plot's window dressing for the other stuff you do in the game.

And all tutorials at the beginning will be active tutorial trash that will ensure you never actually figure things out for yourself, control will constantly be taken away from you to demonstrate what should be obvious to everyone but the children of the yellow paint, and will take up two fucking hours most assuredly so you won't be able to get your refunds.What a wondrous Hell construct these monsters have made of even leisure. There's no escape from the greed of the technocracy; you won't afford the games, you won't afford the RAM, and if you do it's because you've taken out a massive loan to do so, all to enjoy some more Ubisoft-tier shlock where your character will always and forever be outdone by some hyper-competent brownoid mutt with one side of her hair shaved, a fuckton of tattoos and piercings and a foul mouth that also preaches to you about gay and brown shit.It's fucking over niggers.Humans in the technological age have peaked in the early 2000s and now we're going to enjoy the fall.

I guess that depends if they can't speedrun the industry's collapse before globohomo speedruns society's collapse, we're gonna have an increasing demand for escapism though. The AI bubble's also gonna have to burst pretty soon or RAM's going to be a serious long term issue, but government drones include RAM.

@Sui @Shadowman311 They've already done this. Look at telltale games and the walking dead for example. Or "don't nod" responsible for life is strange series. Episodic games already exist. You have to expect "AAA" developers are going to start selling the base game for 89.99 and each branch of quest lines for 30$+ with unlimited quests based on it all being dlc. That is the end of gaming. And it's right around the corner

@graf @Sui @Shadowman311 as ugly as it is, it was inevitable.too many parasites that used to infect hollywood made the jump into the gaming industry during the 2010 era.everything has gotten slowly worse ever since.more inefficiency, more corruption, more meaningless bureaucratic office bullshit that strangled any form of creativity.then as things got worse, profit maximization became the norm and the death spiral started.at this point aaa is just as dead as hollywood, tv, music, books and any other form of entertainment that has been corporatized to death.

Yeah we didn't gatekeep hard enough, we didn't boycott horse armour dlc or the other bullshit microtransactions enough. Anything from california and/or tranny faggots isn't worth your time, anything from EA or other marketing>gaming companies isn't worth your time. Fun little indie games are the way to go imo, at least while AAA and the normies lose interest and gtfo

@graf @Sui @Shadowman311 Sire, the answer is not to buy shit, eventually it opens a market for somebody to build and sell a decent product.Also people need to stop treating video-games as these grandiose super-productions always ever achieving higher quotes of realism and focus on gameplay, we've been living for 20+ years in the age of graphics are great now, can we have some gameplay?This stupid distinction in the industry between AA, AAA, AAAAA, AAAAAH!!! and Indie is getting bloody ridiculous and tedious.You have games made by large corporations and games not made by large corporations. A game can be good or can be bad slop, and that's it.What is going down is the games industry produced by large corporations who are the ones that introduced the "20 mins of cut-scenes" per 5 min of gameplay.I'm currently playing Escape from Duckov a game made by a small Chinky studio and IMHO it is fantastic. Gameplay-wise it has tons of weapons good gameplay an environmentally told story that unfolds organically, and it is dirty cheap.There are no problems with gaming if one learns some self control.
