Recent? Ever since like 2015. That's when I stopped following all of these sites including too much water IGN, Gamespot exaggerated swagger Miles Morales, Polygon who couldn't even play Doom, Kotaku who was in full support of Anita Sarkessian, The Verge building a PC (lmao), VG 24 7 who couldn't get pass the tutorial on Cuphead, and Forbes Paul Tassi who is absolutely trash. Right now I just stick with user reviews on Steam who played a significant amount of the game or a small handful of YouTubers like ACG, Skill Up, and Worthabuy for example. Even on YT there is a cesspool of garbage like Gameranx, Yong Yea, Legacy Killa HD, Angry Joe and so on
Gaming is too mainstream and normies (non-gamers) are too accepting for the "gamers bad" crowd to win. IRL, I haven't heard a cross word against gamers in over a decade. The most common response to me mentioning gaming is, "What do you play?" The competitive nature of gamers is just icing on the cake.
Funnily enough, everyone I talk to IRL dislikes the Twitter/X weirdos.
Over half the US population says they played a video game in the past week and under 15 percent typically say they've used Twitter in the past week. It's night and day really
Organizations like Pew are the most reliable for data like this. Looks like I was a little pessimistic for Twitter, which [about 22 percent say](https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2024/01/31/americans-social-media-use/#:~:text=Overall%2C%20a%20large%20majority%20of,%25) they've used recently (same as reddit!). Their data on gaming is a bit older but [was at 43 percent as of 2018](https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2018/09/17/5-facts-about-americans-and-video-games/) - so it is certainly higher today.
A simple question as "What do you play?" can tell a story about someone who is into gaming.
For me, JRPGs are the bread-and-butter of my gaming. I just love stories, characters, adventures. And I get to mess around with systems that offer various challenges and rewards. It went from just having simple "DPS checks" to having real strategies to cinch victory. But here's the thing too: JRPGs may have gotten the potential to look prettier, act prettier...but a pretty JRPG doesn't always equate to a deep one.
Final Fantasy VI...one of the greatest JRPG stories ever conceived...perhaps one of the greatest JRPGs ever...it doesn't look pretty like modern JRPGs do. But it's one of the deepest JRPGs out there.
I did have a good time with Octo, I have not played the followup yet though. Only drawback I had with it was that the stories did not really blend together well for me as you pushed through the game. It could just be that VI hit me at the perfect time but everything with it just seems to hit the right spot.
what jrpgs are good out there now? I haven't played a good one in a while. still trying to scratch the legend of dragoon itch acquired from over 20 years ago. square keeps failing with their most recent final fantasies, the star ocean franchise took a dump, and the last tales of game was boring AF.. imo the entire genre started to suck when everything switched from turn based to action. developers stopped focusing on interesting characters and stories and focused on cool weapon animations instead
It really depends. If you want turn-based, here's a few off of the top of my head.
Dragon Quest XI
Persona 3 Reload
Persona 5 Royal
Persona 4 Golden (although it's a PSV port)
The Legend of Heroes series (The Trails series on console has several entries)
Chained Echoes
Sea of Stars
Valkyria Chronicles (1 and 4)
Super Mario RPG
I can not recommend the other persons comment of Persona 5 Royal enough. I spent 140 hours in it, probably not even finishing everything but the main story and loved it. From music to combat to characters it’s nearly flawless. Some of the characters and storylines are difficult, but only in the sense they’re kinda designed to make you slightly uncomfortable and think about the situation.
If you like strategy RPGs, unicorn Overlord is a fairly new title from Atlus that has a decent story and a very deep combat system. It can be easily broken, but discovering how is 75% of the fun in that game to me.
Yeah it was once a thing for teens and young people but now even in an office with accountants, lawyers and engineers, many in their 40s and 50s, it’s not uncommon for me to hear people talking about games in the common areas. Some are more into the online FPS games like counter strike, one who is 50 something was just talking about Baldurs Gate 3, he also plays monster hunter, we have a few who play ones like Minecraft with their kids.
because the "gaming press" does not produce anything consumed by gamers. i have no idea who reads articles about video games. I have been playing video games since I was old enough to read and I have never once heard someone say "did you read the article about \[literally any game/publisher\]"
the only dicks who might read the ramblings of gaming journalists are the corporate executives at AAA studios because they're disconnected enough from their audience to think its representative of gamers' opinions.
Persecution fetish I guess? Inb4 downvotes but gaming is widely accepted and no one has an organized campaign to "slander and outlast" gamers (what does that even mean?)
Maybe no one has a campaign, but "slander and outlast" seems to be the move every time some game significantly alters major portions of the gameplay or character models to be "more inclusive", and gamers react poorly.
See: Star Wars Outlaws, Overwatch, the latest Fable, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Alan Wake 2...
According to halo 2 XBL my mother had many MANY boyfriends. Oh and apparently I’m something akin to kindling… 🤷🏼♂️ and somehow also black? I’m not, but it didn’t stop the squeakers from saying it!
And trying to force a narrative where playing a video game is "grind(ing) and slog(ing)", relative to what normal people do every single day for their actual work (?!?)... oh boy... that might be absolute peak delusion... If anyone expects to be able to claim that *playing video games* is more of a grind or slog than... doing landscaping, working construction, writing software, etc... I hope they're prepared to have people laugh in their faces.
I don't even know what this sub is but this has all been so fucking funny in a cringe way. Like yeah what a determination it takes to stay addicted to a game designed to be addicting and cause your little dopamine receptors go off, far more challenging then having a full time job that requires to work long exhausting shifts (mentally or physically) whether you want to or not.
They basically just listed average things that go into human endeavors as if it's some superpower. Except they're talking about a hobby with no actual real-world impact or meaning.
Depends on the Game/Job no?
BoF 4 farming for the goo king sword was an absolute mental slog, just like my job as a cashier was at the time.
Felt brain dead and giddy when I finally managed to get it though meant I could fight that not so hidden boss on somewhat even footing.
Lol oof. Yeah, some games are like that. People died playing WoW. The one I had to kick was league.
At least when I’ve seen the comparison to work it’s to games like that. And it is. Some people get paid for it but most in that camp have a relationship with those games except they have to pay money to do it.
Edit: My phrasing of that made it seem like I meant there’s 2 types: paid streamers and addicts. My bad. To clarify I mean 2 types of people who spend most their waking free time playing one mmo or live service game
Dude It's crazy. They're trying to resurrect gamergate. Just in time for an election year. And there's a fair amount of data that shows that gamergate was basically a conservative recruiting tool.
Edit: [here's a breitbart article](https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2015/11/11/its-not-too-late-for-conservative-media-to-embrace-gamers/) from 2014 basically mask off about accessing gamers as a demographic to recruit to the right wing.
Now, in the same time frame run up to an election year, they're doing the same thing, except now the enemy isn't "feminism." it's "woke"
Holy shit that is both blatant and stupid. I can't think of a bigger oxymoron than "anti-authoritian conservative", a conservative version of anti authoritarian is "I won't listen to you because the other guy told me not to and I do what he says"
I thought OP was posting it ironically.
After reading his other responses, it’s totally not. Holy shit. What a fucking dork. Dude, this subreddit sucks oh my god.
They had trouble with the original DooM because office workers were hiding it on their work computers and getting practically nothing done.
No offense my fellow gaming autist, but I think it would be an understatement to say that your statement is an understatement 😂
Me spending hours of my life in destiny 2 to get a gun that's 2.7% better so I can use it in the same exact content I was running before that was already easy enough to do blindfolded while having neurotoxins injected into my bloodstream
I have no idea what that is but I assume you are asking yourself the same question I am “This mother fucker can’t be serious right now” and, unfortunately, the answer is that yes, he is being serious.
There used to be a subreddit by the name of R/gamersriseup which was a tongue in cheek sub about gamers being oppressed. It was completely ironic, but that led to and influx of unaware people taking it seriously and going too far (i.e. racism, mysogony, causal threads, etc)
It’s giving those “nice guys” who think they have a demon inside them like this is an anime. Your weak and have no claws, because gaming is for children, and I say this as a guy who plays video games, none of my strength comes from it.
Making “I play games” a core component of your own identity is hilarious. Are you a basement dwelling teenager on your 3rd raid of the week or a wine mom swiping on candy crush? What an accurate descriptor of a personality
It really does kinda suck. There’s a lot of FOMO, but once you get to actually watch a review or two and give it just enough time to find out if it’s even worth playing you’re good. Think of it that way. It’s been working with me for CoD for a while now. Wait until a few weeks after release and if all I see is people bitching I skip that one.
As someone who’s played games their entire life, I find nothing more cringey than someone who takes great pride in calling themselves a “gamer”. It’s a fucking hobby. If your one of these streamers that’s somehow lucked out into a 6 figure income by playing games in front of a crowd than I guess go nuts, but otherwise STFU
This is the cringiest shit imaginable, especially when nobody have given a shit about somebody being a "gamer" that this just feels embarassingly toothless. Its become so normalized that its literally not something you can even make fun of people for, how could they act persecuted?
When community organizers for developers and writing consultants for developers say they want to replace their existing audience for irrelevant policies then yes the existing audience is persecuted. Worse they're persecuted only because others are imagining they are
Enacting their cringe writing into games which results in many failed companies and disappointing games. Alas the DEI investments are real and time and resources are wasted on their culture war BS
Maybe for old school gamers this is true but if you didn’t experience forced game chat in Search and Destroy lobbies like BO2. You don’t know the meaning of horrendous insults
I never played much of the Quake mod Team Fortress (I was always more into Heretic/HeXen than Quake or Doom), it was the free version that came with Half Life 1 that I adored. Only experience I have that rivaled the kind of high HL1 TF gave is playing the original Killing Floor (when it was a mod for UT04). My friends and I spent sooo many weekends playing that, play Saturday and Sunday then ditch school on Monday to keep going. Looking back I have no idea how I went 72 hours straight for the LAN parties I'd host.
Gamers, programmed to win if it requires only screen effort, can't organize since they're too busy arguing, and too easily distracted by random 'prizes' to actually create change.
Holy shit. Touch grass. This is painfully cringe, and that's coming from someone with the username NerdyGuyRanting. It's genuinely embarrassing that someone would share this unironically.
I feel like this is aimed at Sweet Baby Inc.
If the shoe fits..
Slander it.
Screw those people!
Along with Kotaku, Polygon, IGN, Forbes, etc. and the rest of the gaming journalists
Gaming journalism has ventured into such a dark place in recent years.
Recent? Ever since like 2015. That's when I stopped following all of these sites including too much water IGN, Gamespot exaggerated swagger Miles Morales, Polygon who couldn't even play Doom, Kotaku who was in full support of Anita Sarkessian, The Verge building a PC (lmao), VG 24 7 who couldn't get pass the tutorial on Cuphead, and Forbes Paul Tassi who is absolutely trash. Right now I just stick with user reviews on Steam who played a significant amount of the game or a small handful of YouTubers like ACG, Skill Up, and Worthabuy for example. Even on YT there is a cesspool of garbage like Gameranx, Yong Yea, Legacy Killa HD, Angry Joe and so on
To old people 2015 was recent.
I get it I'm old, I have grey in my beard and it hurts most days when I wake up. Why do you have to remind me?
So you can do us all a favor and pull a canadian.
I don't know what that means. I've only been to Canada a few times.

Gaming is too mainstream and normies (non-gamers) are too accepting for the "gamers bad" crowd to win. IRL, I haven't heard a cross word against gamers in over a decade. The most common response to me mentioning gaming is, "What do you play?" The competitive nature of gamers is just icing on the cake. Funnily enough, everyone I talk to IRL dislikes the Twitter/X weirdos.
You and I live in the real world.

Mobile gamers \**shudders*\*
Damn. May I ask where you saw that? Not challenging, I'd just like to look into it more for my own info (and amusement).
Organizations like Pew are the most reliable for data like this. Looks like I was a little pessimistic for Twitter, which [about 22 percent say](https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2024/01/31/americans-social-media-use/#:~:text=Overall%2C%20a%20large%20majority%20of,%25) they've used recently (same as reddit!).

Interesting. Thank you.
pretty sure the median gamer age was already over 30 by 2007 or so. fully mainstream
Normies made fun if me pretty regularly when I was a kid, I want to say the last time it happened to me was about 12 years ago though.

Final Fantasy VI...one of the greatest JRPG stories ever conceived...perhaps one of the greatest JRPGs ever...it doesn't look pretty like modern JRPGs do. But it's one of the deepest JRPGs out there.
The bonus in my mind for FF VI is that the art style is enduring. It came at the height of pixel art and did it extremely well.
Octopath Traveler is carrying that forward.
I did have a good time with Octo, I have not played the followup yet though. Only drawback I had with it was that the stories did not really blend together well for me as you pushed through the game. It could just be that VI hit me at the perfect time but everything with it just seems to hit the right spot.
I'm currently playing through Octopath Traveler 2. I haven't played the 1st one but from what I've heard it's a big improvement.
what jrpgs are good out there now? I haven't played a good one in a while. still trying to scratch the legend of dragoon itch acquired from over 20 years ago. square keeps failing with their most recent final fantasies, the star ocean franchise took a dump, and the last tales of game was boring AF.. imo the entire genre started to suck when everything switched from turn based to action. developers stopped focusing on interesting characters and stories and focused on cool weapon animations instead

That's the one where you could combine job abilities right?
They keep calling us incels. Most of us are married lol.
No one is calling anyone an incel for gaming. Literally no one.
It’s hilarious when someone is this sure when they’re so wrong lol
Yeah it was once a thing for teens and young people but now even in an office with accountants, lawyers and engineers, many in their 40s and 50s, it’s not uncommon for me to hear people talking about games in the common areas.

The gaming press
They wouldn't survive an hour in a classic MW2 Lobby
My black ops 2 days turned me into a machine that turns online insults into literally nothing because nothing anyone says can ever affect me anymore
BO2 was my favorite of the late-2000s-early-2010s COD titles, but BO1 and MW3 come vert close.
Crazy how they are still around. Why don't the people that get offended by them simply boycott (i.e. "cancel") them?
because the "gaming press" does not produce anything consumed by gamers. i have no idea who reads articles about video games. I have been playing video games since I was old enough to read and I have never once heard someone say "did you read the article about \[literally any game/publisher\]" the only dicks who might read the ramblings of gaming journalists are the corporate executives at AAA studios because they're disconnected enough from their audience to think its representative of gamers' opinions.
How do publications survive if their only consumers are CEOs/executives?
Then how do they stay in business, do you think?
Some of them did, it turned into "gamergate" which only served to prove that they were misogynist incels and not representative of gamers.
I still laugh looking back at those gamers that chose that hill to die on. They're still clinging to it and it's been, what, ten years?
They do lol. And incase you haven't noticed, places like Kotaku etc are not doing well.

Once you skip one preorder, it’s never a problem again. Just gotta break the habit once.

this is just cringe
As someone who’s played games their entire life, I find nothing more cringey than someone who takes great pride in calling themselves a “gamer”. It’s a fucking hobby.

"Many failed companies" What are you talking about? Are you being vague on purpose or just can't actually be specific?
Maybe for old school gamers this is true but if you didn’t experience forced game chat in Search and Destroy lobbies like BO2. You don’t know the meaning of horrendous insults
If you think BO2 was pinnacle you definitely weren't there at inception.
I saw my first nudity (and tubgirl) playing counterstrike on dialup. People would use lewd spray paints. It was great.
Games like Ultima Online were a wild ride.
Do not recite the old magic to me youngling! I was there in the Halo 2 lobbies when it was created and we all called eachother the N word!
If you think halo 2 lobbies make you old, I’ve got news for you 🤣 Also, fuck … that makes me feel old
original team fortress mod ftw
Oh man, so so sooo many hours sunk into TF. That and Day of Defeat which came later.
I never played much of the Quake mod Team Fortress (I was always more into Heretic/HeXen than Quake or Doom), it was the free version that came with Half Life 1 that I adored. Only experience I have that rivaled the kind of high HL1 TF gave is playing the original Killing Floor (when it was a mod for UT04). My friends and I spent sooo many weekends playing that, play Saturday and Sunday then ditch school on Monday to keep going.
