No Mutants Allowed

How many imitators have showed up to take a crack at the 'cinematic' and 'immersive' games that critics and retards cling to as proof that "GAYMES ARE ART TOO SEE!" these games are lauded by people with an inferiority complex.

A distant relative to the man child is the type of man who wants to be taken seriously and seen as having refined hobbies and tastes. These people who are in the gaming scene are ashamed of the typical games like the hack and slash or the more focused and gameplay oriented games.

Half-life ruined first person shooters. After that everything had to be scripted with no natural flow in the level design. Run to next scripted scene. Run to next scripted scene. Run to next...

When step father simulator 2018 (God of War) came out what followed was a wankfest of "OMG MUH GRAPHICS" and the idea that "God of War has finally matured" a complex hack and slash with pretty heavy themes never struck me as childish but what did was God of War 2018.

Yeah God of War is a joke. Can't believe they changed genre's and people loved it.

These are just fads though. People copied in the old gaming days too. Turns out they were copying good games though. Like Castlevania, Super Mario, Dune/Warcraft, Diablo....

God of War 2018 with it's back humping camera, simplistic combos and TWO WEAPONS has Kratos the God of War going around the battlefield like a lethargic sloth. With a tacked on loot system and the typical AAA diet RPG systems it's safe to say that the gameplay has taken a downgrade.

The story is literally just walking to spread some bitches ashes while accompanied by a dumb fuck child who seems to regress in maturity while you deal with some Viking Metal reject and his mommy issues, wow what a tear jerk-er. The only interesting part is Kratos' trip to Hel where he is bombarded with his memories of killing his father.

While you of course have the Last of Us being lauded as some masterpiece when it has lazy AAA stealth with barely any depth and a story that would round out a rather mediocre season of The Walking Dead and there isn't much to say about the budget Indiana Jones Games known as Uncharted and nu-Tomb Raider.

This movie game phase has rejected the idea of fun and complex gameplay and the branching narrative style of RPG with the mundane realism of an unedited and poorly written amateur film that may look pretty but harbors the depth of not even a puddle.

It's Metal Gear Solid's fault actually.

This style of story driven and cinematic style of game has been done better in games like Dracula, Harvester, Sanitarium, or Phantasmagoria are like interactive episodes of the Twilight Zone with interesting stories in the styling of the greatest hits out of a perverted Goth girl's fuck dungeon torture fantasies (or a Grimm's fairy tale to be more PG).
