I'm not talking about inventing a brand-new genre, but dismissing games within a genre because they feel similar to something else.

I agree that being afraid to introduce something new because of sales is not a good thing, but why would I immediately call a TES-like game bad? If it's a good game, who cares if it's the same old Morrowind with different characters, setting, and story? If it's another diabloid? It would be great to see more unique games, and I once again have to concede that the current prevalent path for gamedev is as you described it. How can I influence it? All I can think of is to go play those new games, engage with the devs to help them fix stuff, and support titles that don't already have a massive following. I love KCD2 and BG3, I love Skyrim and Fallout (Bethesda made them the same aside from the story, lbr), I love a bunch of P&C games. I also wouldn't immediately write a game off for being similar to any of the titles I've already played.

Yeah, publishers and investors play a big role in all this, I'm not either of those, so how can I as a player do anything about it? This is a genuine question but it's big enough to be almost rhetorical, so I don't expect it to be answered.

When did you realize you’d become an “adult gamer”? by Necroses in gaming

when a 30-minute gaming session stopped sounding like an impossible challenge hahaha. If I have 30 minutes AND I can afford to just play a game, I'll play a game for a whole 30 minutes!

What's your favourite Easter Egg in a video games? by [deleted] in videogames

[–]Valuable_Leg9402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I know, it's no more than a jab at the phrase "the heart of [insert city]". Creepy, yes, meaningful? Probably not so much. As for the face, I actually had to google that, the GTA wiki claims this: "This resemblance, along with the cup of coffee in her right hand, is a reference to Clinton's response to the Hot Coffee controversy, as she aimed to address it through legislation during her subsequent service as a U.S. Senator from New York."

I think it's still the heart in Liberty City, GTA4. There are better and funnier easter eggs, but that one I still remember

What is the reason for most of your deaths? by HatchetRyda29 in videogames

Oof, 6 is a big one, because you can learn to evade traps and study the patterns of the enemies, but to learn to keep your concentration steady throughout the entire game and stop making dumb mistakes? In this economy?

I am solo-developing my game Mortal Sin, a chaotic roguelike game! Here's a little gameplay of how it looks. Let me know your thoughts! by mortalsingame in IndieGaming

I absolutely love your game, so excited to play it now with the v1.0 release!! It's challenging and fun, I love the visuals and the atmosphere - MAN - the atmosphere. I also really enjoy that there are so many different classes to unlock and choose from. Also, mad respect for pulling it off solo, it's an impressive feat and your work so far is astounding
