      Weird how our legal system is starting to crack down on patent trolling, but copyright trolling is alive and well.
      "You can't give that away, we own it."
      "Are you trying to suppress it because it hurts your brand image?"
      "No, we're still proud of it."
      "OK, please let people pay you money for it."
      "No."
      "..."
      Fortunately a lot of companies are _finally_ wising up. I wish Nintendo cracked down on emulation a little sooner than _fifteen years_ before they started selling their back catalogue.

      Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
      Beaware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
      After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
      Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
      - will seem to rise from the dead
      - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
      One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
      Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.

  • @Zedrinbot
    @Zedrinbot 3 роки тому +2812

    Game pricing and development costs have always been so weird. A lot of modern triple A games are more about being a graphical arm's race than games, so most of the development goes into presentation / first impressions and advertising with a bloated scope. Hence it's not uncommon for something to look pretty and be riddled with bugs.
    People try to suggest that graphics don't matter and they shouldn't prioritize them as much. Which, while not wrong, you also gotta remember the casual consumer and fratboy-gamer types who are buying up those yearly Call of Battlefields and Fifas and don't participate in these kinda discussions, and many people who say that probably do still value graphics more than they imply. And it's not like Triple-A games don't have a place, I just wish they didn't set the standards for everything that isn't an indie title.

    • @TheLegendsmith
      @TheLegendsmith 3 роки тому +129

      You're forgetting one of the major factors; Dev team size. These big AAA studios, instead of hiring GOOD programmers, they just throw lots of shitty programmers at the problem until the game compiles. That's why the games are so buggy. That's also why they suck; good game design can't be brute forced.
      World of Warcraft was developed with a team of 50 people. Modern AAA games can have team sizes of 150, or even 300, and that's NOT for an MMO! These are huge, bloated teams. The number of directors, producers, and project leaders who can actually coordinate that many people is EXTREMELY LOW, and most of them are either in big business (not video games), or the movie industry. Not games.
      As for game designers; well there's plenty of good game designers out there; that's where indie gems come from. But they're not being hired by AAA are they?

MW looks a hell of a lot better and sounds way more realistic aswell. But Cold War has superior combat in my opinion. Cold War graphics were no doubt a down grade but people didn’t mind as much because the actually gameplay was superior even though inferior in the graphics department.

      Hey, did you know that in terms of male human and female Pokémon breeding, Vaporeon is actually not the most compatible Pokémon for humans? This is a common and understandable misconception, however Vaporeon has it's human on Pokémon breedability outclassed by it's cousin evolution, Umbreon. Umbreon weights approximately 60 pounds, or around 27 kilograms, and is 3'3" tall (About a meter), making it not only large enough to appropriately handle human genitalia, but also light enough to easily be lifted, and promptly set back down repeatedly. It's relatively small size would also prove a tight entry, which is always a good thing. Umbreon also boasts an extremely impressive defensive stat spread. With it's combination of very high HP, Defense, and Special Defense stats, it can take a great pounding and come back for more! It's ability, Inner Focus, allows it to keep slamming attentively, without getting fatigued. Umbreon also has access to the ability Synchronize, which allows it to share it's current status with you, meaning you will receive all of the pleasure it feels COMBINED with all the pleasure you're getting from pounding this perfect breedable Pokémon. Umbreon also has the capability of seeing perfectly in pitch-black darkness, allowing it to effectively attend a midnight fornication session. Even if you do manage to drain Umbreon's energy with all the furious thrusts, it can recover very quickly with its access to the move Moonlight. Its black fur is also a giant positive attribute, allowing all the excretions you make to be easily seen all over its body. A great fun fact, Umbreon can excrete toxins in its sweat, which would in turn soak into your member and swell it up, making it even more sizable and sensitive. This would not only enhance the experience for you, but for your Umbreon as well (Which with Synchronize, ends up pleasing you exponentially more). Umbreon's wide movepool also supports the hypothesis that Umbreon is the best Pokémon to breed with. It can learn Payback, which doubles in power after the Pokémon is hit, meaning Umbreon with throw it back twice as hard as normally if you're hitting it good. Umbreon can also learn Guard Swap; it could give YOU its insane durability, and go crazy on you all night with your now massive endurance. Speaking of endurance, Umbreon also has access to Endure, making it practically immune to fatigue, it will always have energy left over. Charm is also within Umbreon's movepool, letting it be extremely seductive towards you, easily getting you in the mood. Umbreon can also use Taunt, in turn making you ONLY able to to attacking moves such as Slam, Pound, etc; none of that foreplay shit, right into the action. It also has access to Sleep Talk, giving it the ability to not only give consent in its sleep, allowing access to any of its ports and any time, but also move in it's sleep, making it an effective 24/7 fuckmate. Umbreon still has even more great moves that good to have while smashing, such as Quick Attack, allowing swift slams and bounces, which can have even greater power if Umbreon uses Curse beforehand. Curse would also raise Umbreon's defense, making it able to take powerful thrusting for almost any duration. Looking back, Umbreon's slightly small size ensures a gorilla grip cavity and easy physical manipulation. Its ungodly bulk allows it to take poundings for hours on end and resume after recovering with moonlight (Which works even better when it's sunny). It's access to the abilities Inner Focus and Synchronize allow it to unwaveringly throw it back and add all of its pleasure onto yours, effectively making it twice as amazing as any other Pokémon, or even FOUR TIMES, factoring in the doubled power of payback of course. All of this information in combination with its extremely useful movepool in the world of intercourse makes Umbreon the Pokémon most qualified to breed with humans; able to take dick of any shape, any size, in any position easily for extensive periods of time, while having the ability to return for even more mere seconds later.

    When I was in college, on my last presentation, we had to market our own game for our teachers. I was honest with them telling my game wasn't finished. They gave me a very negative response because of that. Though, come to think of it now, me, as a consumer, I would hate if a company wasn't being honest with me trying to sell their low quality unfinished game. Even though their response was negative, I felt good that day, knowing that I was honest with myself and them. I wish more companies were like that.

      @@kamalindsey I believe that they were just being parents and telling me their piece of advice, but I think it was also an indication of their experience.
      My parents were always trying to be more successful than them. I remember growing up that my dad always wanted us to have a better car than him, because he drove a shitty car and didn't like it. He was very much into making sure we knew that we were better off financially than him. Even though I think he loved us, I also think he was afraid of our success and wanted to be like us later on, that's why he didn't have a high paying job and had to get a job that he hated, which he did for years.
      Now I'm married with children of my own and I do the same thing. That's why I think of Brian Chambers, that guy in Dancing with the Stars when he said: "What was the point of my life? I just fell down and hurt myself again." I think of that a lot when I'm working on my own stuff. When you don't know what you want out of life, there's no point. And there's no point in your life. It's always the best time to do what you want to do because if you do what you think other people want you to do, there's no point in doing that, but it's better to do what you want to do because then you know you're happy doing it.

    The price of retail video games have generally been pretty affordable over the years when you take inflation into consideration. Furthermore, a lot of the retro games have even increased in value so the resale value is great for consumers. HOWEVER, as dunkey has mentioned, it's those $60 half finished games built around microtransactions that don't deserve to be $60. We need to stop buying and pre-ordering those type of games.

      Hey, did you know that in terms of male human and female Pokémon breeding, Vaporeon is actually not the most compatible Pokémon for humans? This is a common and understandable misconception, however Vaporeon has it's human on Pokémon breedability outclassed by it's cousin evolution, Umbreon. Umbreon weights approximately 60 pounds, or around 27 kilograms, and is 3'3" tall (About a meter), making it not only large enough to appropriately handle human genitalia, but also light enough to easily be lifted, and promptly set back down repeatedly. It's relatively small size would also prove a tight entry, which is always a good thing. Umbreon also boasts an extremely impressive defensive stat spread. With it's combination of very high HP, Defense, and Special Defense stats, it can take a great pounding and come back for more! It's ability, Inner Focus, allows it to keep slamming attentively, without getting fatigued. Umbreon also has access to the ability Synchronize, which allows it to share it's current status with you, meaning you will receive all of the pleasure it feels COMBINED with all the pleasure you're getting from pounding this perfect breedable Pokémon. Umbreon also has the capability of seeing perfectly in pitch-black darkness, allowing it to effectively attend a midnight fornication session. Even if you do manage to drain Umbreon's energy with all the furious thrusts, it can recover very quickly with its access to the move Moonlight. Its black fur is also a giant positive attribute, allowing all the excretions you make to be easily seen all over its body. A great fun fact, Umbreon can excrete toxins in its sweat, which would in turn soak into your member and swell it up, making it even more sizable and sensitive. This would not only enhance the experience for you, but for your Umbreon as well (Which with Synchronize, ends up pleasing you exponentially more). Umbreon's wide movepool also supports the hypothesis that Umbreon is the best Pokémon to breed with. It can learn Payback, which doubles in power after the Pokémon is hit, meaning Umbreon with throw it back twice as hard as normally if you're hitting it good. Umbreon can also learn Guard Swap; it could give YOU its insane durability, and go crazy on you all night with your now massive endurance. Speaking of endurance, Umbreon also has access to Endure, making it practically immune to fatigue, it will always have energy left over. Charm is also within Umbreon's movepool, letting it be extremely seductive towards you, easily getting you in the mood. Umbreon can also use Taunt, in turn making you ONLY able to to attacking moves such as Slam, Pound, etc; none of that foreplay shit, right into the action. It also has access to Sleep Talk, giving it the ability to not only give consent in its sleep, allowing access to any of its ports and any time, but also move in it's sleep, making it an effective 24/7 fuckmate. Umbreon still has even more great moves that good to have while smashing, such as Quick Attack, allowing swift slams and bounces, which can have even greater power if Umbreon uses Curse beforehand. Curse would also raise Umbreon's defense, making it able to take powerful thrusting for almost any duration. Looking back, Umbreon's slightly small size ensures a gorilla grip cavity and easy physical manipulation. Its ungodly bulk allows it to take poundings for hours on end and resume after recovering with moonlight (Which works even better when it's sunny). It's access to the abilities Inner Focus and Synchronize allow it to unwaveringly throw it back and add all of its pleasure onto yours, effectively making it twice as amazing as any other Pokémon, or even FOUR TIMES, factoring in the doubled power of payback of course. All of this information in combination with its extremely useful movepool in the world of intercourse makes Umbreon the Pokémon most qualified to breed with humans; able to take dick of any shape, any size, in any position easily for extensive periods of time, while having the ability to return for even more mere seconds later.

    Emulating is completely legal for games you own. And even though emulating games you don't own isn't strictly legal, as long as you're not the one distributing, it's very unlikely that anyone will take you to court for it.
    Big companies tell us that it's illegal. They want us to be scared to do it. But the truth is that they can't possibly afford to take all the people that do it to court for it.

Piracy is less noble when you're taking advantage of an indie creator to save yourself three or four dollars in a hobby that, _very unlike the music industry,_ has a 3-to-4 digit barrier for entry. At a certain point, an unwillingness to pay for games can raise questions about your own character, not that we should be gearing the industry around trying (and usually failing) to punish such people.

      Yet, the thing is, no one knows for sure if you or the distributor could be held accountable if you download illegal ROMs. That is because the law isn't clear and there has been no court ruling that shows what is right and wrong. So there is a lot of gray are here.

    Just a little context for those older games: the skill required to produce a game was extremely high. Older consoles were greatly restricted, having very little graphics and processing capability. Just to fit a game and make it playable, coders had to produce games in the console's assembly language and often used every little bit of space available on a cartridge. And after all of that, the game usually sucked mega bongo. Imagine making a game actually fun like that. *TLDR:* If coding a game today is like manufacturing a toaster, then coding back then was like manufacturing a rocket ship.

U, Pikmin 3, Donkey Kong Frozen Ape) or launched at less than $60 when they originally came out (Skyward Sword). Nintendo gets criticized for it, but it doesn't matter because everyone knows that they're gonna buy it day one regardless because Nintendo games almost never drop in value, especially on the collector's market.

    A thing to consider with the 'standard' price having remained the same despite the drop in purchase power/inflation, is that the 'market' has been growing at an explosive rate, with far more available buyers. That eats the cost fairly well, meaning the per-unit costs don't need to keep up.
    That's not even touching the crapshow of 'microtransactions' and other abusive methods of monetization.
    Video games have never been a more profitable industry, it's just a shame that the AAA industry refuses to actually innovate or take risks, and instead just pours stupid amounts of money into graphical increases and marketing, as opposed to actually just making better games using that same money.

      @@neomedved Are you seriously trying to compare lifetime sales against shorter term ones from consoles that haven't been out as long? While the PS3 came out in 2006, the PS2 was still selling up through 2010 at least.
      The PS2 also padded it's stats by functioning as a 'cheap' media center/dvd player in addition to a games console, at a time when it's competition didn't.
      Seriously though, if you actually look at sales data, you see a general upward trend in volume of units sold over time, with the exceptions of the occasional console/handheld that didn't really have solid competition, who act as outliers.
      Things like NES, the DS family (which isn't far behind the PS2 iirc) and other things that occupied a market space where there was no real competition.
      In fact, if we combine the sales numbers for PS2, XBOX, and Gamecube, we see about 200 million units in sales. Combining just Switch and PS4, we see somewhere around 220 million. Add in the other 'current' consoles in the form of the PS5, Xbox one X, and Xbox Series X, you will see another 90 mil or so, bringing it up over 300 million. Which is with the newness and shortages of the PS5 and Series X resulting in them not having any viable sales numbers.
      This, of course, doesn't even touch on the PC market, where it is DRASTICALLY harder to get numbers at all.
      Hell, let's go back to the generation right after the PS2, with the Wii, PS3, and 360.
      You end up with a combined total of around 270 million.
      It is uncontestable fact that the market has grown DRASTICALLY since the 90s. To say it hasn't is really quite silly.

      well you can't blame companies for not going full early 2000s and experiment like they did back then when so many that did collapsed and broke
      friendly reminder that games like okami or super mario sunshine were considered flops back in the day,heck,resident evil 4 was on that route until capcom broke the deal and ported it to ps2 against the wishes of mikami who considered the GameCube as the superior platform
      now exclusive is another concept that has died,now a days you can count them with your hands but back then that word meant something,developers could experiment with game mechanics,design and more when they only had to code the game for 1 platform bug when you want it to be cross platform you have to replace that with engines,making them look good the more invest on the engine but also risky to make something innovative
      wich leads to the previous point,sales
      nobody does this for fun,for as fun that 1 eternal darkness or fatal frame might be,they don't sell as much as super Mario wii,and even the safe bets aren't safe,for as crazy that devil may cry 5 might been it sold 3.7 million by February of 2020,almost a year after launch... I mean that's cool,it outsold dmc4 but cod black ops 4?sold 14.3 million,despite the controversy and lack of campaign mode
      and were talking of 2 games that are cross platforms,devil may cry should shoot themselves up in sales after opening up beyond playstation
      the point or tldr of whatever,experimentation in gaming died and the community has fucking killed it
      ps:notice I'm not talking about their status because as I said,no company does this for fun,it's a business first and regardless of how much a game is considered a classic or cult status,it doesn't compensate for the investment made back when it came out

    I find it strange that people don’t know how how many amazing games are available if they are willing to give older games a chance. You don’t need nostalgia to enjoy them. A truly great game is great forever.
