Problems with the Video Game Industry

I don't think there that much of a problem. I mean I guess less studios are breaking through with good games but you know it does take awhile for games to break through I guess. I think everyone expects good games all year round but realtiy theres only a few good games a year. There is alot of polished shit coming out like mafia 3 etc. Just just broken as fuck. So yeah I don't know. Modren games are mostly rubish but there so many great games to go and replay it does't really seem bad at all to me. Game seem new to me if i've never played them before and there tons of new game I'm discovering and because there older there also cheaper to so hey who can complain ?
 
Breaking the fourth wall is so overused right now, is like a crutch for the talentless to seem witty. Yes game, I am aware you are a game, yeah it was funny the first 5 times it was donde, please stop....

Even better when they say "lol isn't this dumb thing video games always make you do so dumb?" and then proceed to make you do it anyway....

Doubtful. A new RTS occasionally pops up in some form or fashion... then fails spectacularly. People say they want them but when it comes time to put money where mouth is, nope.

That's true. The audience tends to be a niche group or a vocal minority at best.

That isn't the only dev and gaming series they fucked with, they fucking got rid of mod support for battlefield 3 and subsequent battlefield games as well.

And let's not forget what they did to Maxis. Sim City was a disaster (always online was the first of its many problems) and Sims 4 has even less content that its predecessors (base game was even worse than Sims 2).

EA, Activision, and Ubisoft are the unholy trinity of devils in the gaming industry.

-EA is OFC EA, the grim reaper of developers, who have ruined everything from Command & Conquer all the way to the Sims, and killed more video games companies then any other.
-Activison only really has Skylanders and CoD at this point. And they exploit both to NO end.
-Ubisoft has made Assassins Creed its version of CoD, but with even less QA. They have drove the Tom Clancy games into the ground. Far Cry has been getting more and more mediocre, especially with those spinoffs like Primal. And the only other big series they have is Watch Dogs, which was meh at best.

At this point, I think even Square Enix has a better lineup then any of them.

True, but you have people taking issue with something saying that it is sexist, racist, homophobic, or transphobic even if it from the bad guy. You have translation teams bragging about fixing source material.

Marvel comics is pushing a lot of that stuff into their comics but the movies don't force that. You know why? Because Disney actually expects people to watch the movies.

@Walpknut
Someone should make wall over the computer screen and get video game characters to pay for it.

The first post address this with the video. Just click the link below the video to skip to the part about Design Risks. Basically, something as simple as an unorthodox design can set development back for weeks.

I thought that it was EA, Ubisoft (EA of Europe), and Capcom (EA of the East).
BTW: I suggest that you get an avatar. We have spambot problem and having an avatar might help.
 
You forgot to add Bethesda up there

-Dumbing down each game they release with Failblivion, Declinerim, Fallout 3, and Fallout 4.
-Trying to monetize paid mods.
-Rereleasing Skyrim with minimal effort with not only little to no effort but managing to screw up the audio and textures and somehow managed to gather more bugs into the game than the original. Not to mention barely any mods work on release.
-Couldn't handle moderating the whole "stolen mods" situation that happened at one point causing modders to quit modding for that game in frustration.
-Has a big base of angry fantards ready to tear anybody apart for legit level headed critique of their favorite games by Bethesda.
-Screwing over Obsidian with the whole "bonus" thing they had going on(Bethesda got a taste of their own medicine though).

There's more I'm probably forgetting but these are some of the main offenders

Ehh. I've never really been into games from Japan, so I don't really factor in Japanese developers/publishers when I make lists like that.

I only included Square Enix because they have Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, and Hitman, games that are generally considered western games.

The only Capcom games I honestly can think of off the top of my head are Megaman and Street Fighter. While I love Megaman, Capcom has at least had the decency to let it die, instead of puppeting its dead corpse like EA does to all its series. And I don't care enough about Street Fighter to have anything they do to it bother me.

Besides that I really care nothing about Sony or Nintendo games(I honestly can't recall the last time I played a game from either). And then there is...... Konami? If they still even make/publish games I honestly dont know.

Can you elaborate on this?
 
Last two releases from bethesda have really put a dampener on the company really. Even if you just take there steam reviews they have gone down ever since fallout 3 and DLC. Fallout 4 has recently been mixed opion and fallout 4 DLC have goten pretty bad reveiws aswell as the seasson pass. Skyrim remastered is again got mixed reviews. I know steam revews arn't everything however I generally trust steam reveiws over game reveiwers sorced etc because I swear there blinded by money. They write only what they think people will want to hear. Also people on steam are actually fans of the game and know what there talking about mostly.

I think everyone can agree that fallout 4 DLC and Skyrim remastered is pretty poor/average putting fallout 4 to the side

As long as people keep buying their shit, they are going to keep in business.
You can't say "damn SJWs, ruining our games" and then magically all of a sudden, badly written forced progressive ideas are written out of existence. Things don't work that way.

I'm against just forcing these ideas to for the sake of people saying "Oh look, we're breaking boundaries" too and I consider myself very left. But the simple thing is to just not buy it and analysis why what they are doing doesn't work instead of saying "these SJWs are fucking up our games".

Technically, Bethesda is the Anti-Christ. Think about it:
  1. Beloved by the masses but 'secretly' performs evil that 'nobody' catches onto.
  2. It is exalted by the masses (that I presume they propagate) but its exaltation is built upon lies after lies.
I know that there are more characteristics that don't fit in but if we are talking about unholy trinities of evil in the gaming industry, Bethesda fits in as the Anti-Christ.

EDIT: In that situation, the Messiah of the gaming industry is the one that acts the opposite of Bethesda. One that Bethesda fears (based on how many insecure fanboys bash games by said potential Messiah) and even has a record for acting the opposite of Bethesda when it comes to reviews:
CD Projekt Red

The general populace doesn't want these things yet it still being pushed around. Marvel comics is going down the drain. No one watched Ghostbusters (2016). Games pushing SJW ideas are not doing great in general. People need to know that no one actually wants this.

They will get the idea eventually.
And don't tell me about Marvel, I love Marvel, but they need to seriously work on their characters.

Marvel's movie doesn't have any of that because they expected people to watch those. You would think that being a niche market that the company must support to keep their IPs licences would allow them experiment. However, experiments only work if you accept negative results. Letting the market weed out bad products is still somewhat effective just don't think of potential money as losses. DC's Rebirth is doing much better, comparatively.
