Grass, do gaming w They've lost their soul

The names are terrible too. Bravely default was decently enjoyable but octopath traveller being stupidly expensive and not very enjoyable after trying it has made me not bother with every other game name printed in that title template.

Omnificer, do gaming w They've lost their soul

I don’t think logo design is enough to claim they have lost their “soul”. Aren’t Bravely Default, Octoparh Traveler, and Triangle Strategy pretty well liked and reviewed? And have some cool innovations on narrative and mechanics?

I won’t say that the logo design and naming convention isn’t off-putting, but it only reflects a current style, not the games themselves.

They do still make good games, but that’s despite squenix.

wabafee, do gaming w They've lost their soul

Not familiar with the titles on the right are this the font style names or actual game names?

d00ery, do gaming w I'm fine.

CIA or the Fallout equivalent. Everyone knows they get up to sneaky black ops stuff.

pearsaltchocolatebar,

And getting people hooked on drugs is one of their specialties.

Tremble, do gaming w Man, gaming ads in the 90s were something else.

Reminds me of John Lennon who said that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus…

There were protests and record burnings and they were banned on many radio stations and they stopped touring, some say because of the backlash….

zaplachi,

In 1980, he was murdered by a Christian fan of the Beatles, Mark David Chapman, who later cited Lennon’s quote as one of his possible motives in the killing.

There are a few articles about their controversial ads. Here’s one that includes it: sabukaru.online/…/playstation-2-advertisements

QuantumSparkles,

These all look like ads that you would see in Cyberpunk 2077

The PlayStation 3 baby commercial was also something else. Playstation has had some real weird marketing moments.

I’m hoping I can make it to 2078 for the spherical PS9

Vilian,

If we’re talking about it then it woeked

otp,

I get where you’re coming from, but ads don’t just want people talking, they want to turn people into buyers.

After the success of the PS2, virtually their entire market knew about the PS3. But even with those weird ads and their previous massive success with the PS2, the PS3 was selling terribly poorly around the time of the baby ad, IIRC.

Yeah, I’m not sure who kicked it off but the Nintendo, Sega wars in the 80s kind of started with the quirky ‘edgy’ crap and that carried over into the PS/Xbox era. The Nintendo power mags had some seriously nonsense ads and the tv commercials kind of ran the gambit. A lot of ‘we’re gamers, parents just wouldn’t understand’ type ads. Here’s one that even teen me was like ‘wtf?’ www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-qBkWerZDg

WTF that horrible way to advertise that game.

soloner,

I’m not sure if the mental/high person is meant to represent Link or the player… Which one is worse?

Dimok,

The only thing I can think, is it was marketed to those ‘cool’ parents. “Like, wow man! My kid needs this edgy game!” Even that’s a stretch…

newtraditionalists,

I'm so glad this is the one you linked. Such an icon of a commercial lol

YaksDC, do gaming w Man, gaming ads in the 90s were something else.

That’s really not saying much, I would rather have a console with at least a little power.

stevedidWHAT, do gaming w Man, gaming ads in the 90s were something else.
@stevedidWHAT@lemmy.world avatar

If they even had a fraction of the knowledge about today’s games they’d shit themselves lmao.

Just wait until these fancy AI content generators are integrated by AAA companies and aren’t just mods.

🤩 stay positive y’all, happy new year!

The other day someone posted an NES cover and it straight up said “ultra realistic computer generated graphics” on it. 🤣

tiredofsametab,

At the time, the comparison was probably against Atari 2600 and other early systems

pelerinli,

Open world RPG’s like Bannerlord or Skyrim will be “real” alternative reality. Just think, today you can chit-chat in Bannerlord with general NPC. Tomorrow you can get radiant quest from giver by talking to Jarls. In future you can find secret quests and spell-check your way around in Fallout.

If the PS1 is more powerful than God, then what is the PS5? 😮

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website avatar

More powerful than “God 5”

soloner,

If we assume God is God 0, then power(PS(x)) > power(God x - 1)

Cqrd,

Why would you make that assumption though? They’re clearly index 1 people over at Sony, considering the next PlayStation to release was the PS2

CodexArcanum, do gaming w I'm fine.

I remember being irritated about this in Falllout 3, but even more so that every person pre-war from the poorest child to the most exalted CEOs hoarded bottle caps and stuffed them into every ready container. Almost like they knew I’d need the cash decades later.

trafficnab,

Pre-war Fallout 4 population storing their homemade hardware store guns in their safes before the bombs fell

Zron,

*centuries later

The Bethesda fallout games take place 200 years after the Great War.

Imagine walking around America today and someone has the Skelton of a revolutionary war soldier in their half burnt house. Or finding a flintlock from 1760 in someone’s desk and it’s in mint condition. That’s what every Bethesda game has

PsychedSy,

Lincoln’s repeater is the tits.

CodexArcanum,

Honestly, I wrote 200 years initially then couldn’t remember if they were actually that dumb, second guessed myself, and hedged on “decades.”

But yes, realizing that many places in America would have been uninhabited wilderness 200 years before today, the idea that major metro areas would still be untouched ruins 200 years after the war is just ludicrous.

I just put all this stuff in the same “ignore it for the gameplay” box as torches still being lit in ancient tombs and backwoods merchants accepting 1000 year old gold coins as currency for buying beef jerky or magic shields or whatever.

IggyTheSmidge, do gaming w Man, gaming ads in the 90s were something else.

Anyone remember this XBox ad?

https://youtu.be/Hu_0GdXW904

Apparently it was banned, but I remember seeing it fairly regularly so it must've been around for a while before that happened...

Dimok,

Lol yes…yes I do! I didn’t know it was banned because it was played quite a bit on whatever I used to watch. Man I want to say G4 but I’m not sure the time lines work out.

beardown, do gaming w Man, gaming ads in the 90s were something else.

This style is drastically better than anything today.

At least it’s an ethos

Duamerthrax,
set_secret, do gaming w Man, gaming ads in the 90s were something else.

to be fair more powerful than completly non-existant isn’t really that impressive.

burliman,

Unless they mean the idea of God that has driven the religious movements throughout all of human history. Now that is a real god.

set_secret,

fair point
