Gen z says No to modernslop

[Lee__Kanker]

A lot doesn't mean everything.

I'd argue that in its time Twilight Princess was already a modern version of Ocarina of Time and it's still one of the most beloved entries in the franchise.

More recently BotW which is a new take on the formula and has gotten great ratings and many players liked it.

The Art of Vengeance is a well received entry I don't see the issue.

There's nothing wrong with pixel art if the art style is interesting.

I dont think you really think that if something it's popular it means it's good

About Zelda, I dont care much for the 3d games so I cant say much about twilight princess, but I dont have a problem with doing new stuff with an old genre or series in itself, with modernizing

God Hand turned Final Fight in a ps2 games and I love it! The problem is remake culture, modernising now means homogenising (finally spelled it right), making everything the same, no artistic integrity nothing that can alienate or offend nuthin, it's dull
It's kinda like making fast food out of mozzarella, or radio friendly songs feeling all the same, or making a hollywood remake of a cult movie

How about taking a tasty slice of pizza , crack your favourite soda and just calm down ? Its just an forum , not an assault of all cognitive senses

You're the one who got upset and freaked out at me. So you should actually be taking your own advice. I'm more than calm but I'm not afraid to call out bullshit when I see it. If my call out of a dumb ass schemer bothers you that much, then I suggest you check yourself first, then throwing hands at me for only pointing out the truth and problems with people like him.

Electric Underground also has that weird obsession over the options to make a single player game easier even if it doesn't affect the actual main game.

Like, arcade game re-releases having a Free Play mode doesn't remove the enjoyment from 1CC-ing as the score resets per continues.

He also made some odd analogies from time to times that aren't even related to video games...

I think when he's talking to something that isn't about shoot'em ups I don't want to bother.

Electric Underground is just another schemer, but a dumb one who's at the near bottom of the totem pole and nothing more. Only the very foolish few actually take him seriously. He only says that things that certain people want to hear about old games while trashing pretty much almost any new one. Then, he'll make some exception for himself, as if he's immune or above everyone else because of it. As a I have already provided.

Not really and that's too much assumption. You're just not interested to bother with the differences or only seeing what you want to see. Damn everything and everybody else that thinks differently. Once again, you've fallen to the schemers, the charlatans, rainmakers, and grifters everywhere. You are your own worst enemy. Nobody's forcing you to play these games either. There are plenty of new original games coming out. You don't bother to talk about, or you're not interested in or whatever reason. I don't make excuses for AAA, but there's still good stuff out there. I prefer indie and AA, and they're not perfect either. Still better than a majority of AAA though.

With how every millenial jerks off every mediocre remake and photorealistoc inertia ridden netflix feeling slop just because its got high production values, despite growing up in the golden age, I love seeing younger guys who barely knew crts reject it

Hell yeah

Most of those things ARE quick nostalgia grabs and that's why they fail (I seriously didn't know 'Are You Afraid Of The Dark' had been remade, despite growing up a fan), but rejecting something JUST because it has a high production value feels a bit naive to me — not everything benefits from being eternally low quality, and many things COULD use a tasteful upgrade... Problem is that Netflix and other companies' definition of 'subtlety' is akin to throwing bricks at people's windows to inform of their presence.

Looks like it's starting to get a bit heated in here.

Let's all remain calm and respectful. Unless...?

Dumbest take or dumbest take. Call it

Explain to me why you think my take is dumb

Absolute facts.

I've been pretty chill and i've already made my points.

I almost feel sorry for today's youth.They struggle with many things. Therefore, one simply has to be patient and help them when necessary. Many Gen Z are fine, it's just that they somehow don't know where they belong. As I already said in my first comment here, it's somewhat complicated.

Many Gen Z are fine, it's just that they somehow don't know where they belong.

They're not the first generation to feel this way. That is why it's important to guide them, but not force them, nor insult them just for choosing differently. Nor should we mindlessly praise them for acting like us to the letter or previous generations. That leads to nowhere but further back to bad times and not advancing in any way.

As I already said in my first comment here, it's somewhat complicated.

Complicated but not unmanageable nor impossible. Once again, it's going to be like that for every generation, and has happened to us or respective ones without even realizing it.

The discussion we are having right now is more useful than anything the topic creator came up with. They made this topic just for self validation and seeking approval, or only those they approve of to their specific and petty whims.

Nah, I have a new tactic now.

I just wait... and wait... and...

it shouldve been locked from the start. A mediocre reactonary rant. This isnt even the first time they've done this.

That's a genuinely good point.

Every generation is 'programmed' to seek their own path, to rebel against whatever's going on, and to carve an identity of their own. Our job is to set up 'guard rails' so they don't spin out of control while still having room to maneuver. Expecting perfect copies of whatever we were never leads to anything good because, whether we are ready to admit it or not, we are some deeply flawed madafakas, as every older generation. Thankfully, the hole will get smaller each time.

Love and Peace

As someone who dislikes most modern games I fully respect others choices nor would I insult them or their taste for playing them everyone has their own taste after all.

Its best to stay calm and enjoy our hobbie together without insults and accusations.

It must be annoying for the mids having to close down threads like a sport because of it,we are better than this I hope and can lead a calm conversation whle disagreeing.

I don't know what you all think about it, but the word "slop" is getting on my nerves. Somehow everything these days is just a slop, or at least that's how it seems.

 

[JustLooking456]

"Slop" is overused for sure. Modern day slang is a meme that just won't die.

I am for using undercooked until we get tired of this word to ;)

Are more classy sounding word would be funny to like crocked I think or Vile something like that.

 

[Shellbreak91]

I'm just gonna point out I'm a 34 year old millennial and I barely play what you consider "Modernslop".

Yes but take it that way its at leas not gen alpha slang yet.

I am scared for the day when those I phone kids grew up and flood the Internet with their Skibbidy and Sigma Ohio or stuff like that.

Again like, soulless, it's a term that has lost all meaning and has been used by schemers and scammers everywhere. It is nothing more than a catch all term in place for "this game doesn't do the thing I like, or I'm offended for this game doing something different from what I usually enjoy".

Yes but take it that way its at leas not gen alpha slang yet.

I'm glad that's not the case yet. But at the same time, it shouldn't have been used in the first place, nor overused. It's a dumb "slang" in the first place. Made by those who are either millennial or genXers. And as much as they won two, they can't blame Alpha nor Z for starting it. Plus slop has been around for a long time, but was never used that much, for use, for the pig metaphors and the people throwing those moved on to something else and didn't obsess with it.

 

[DayBreak_Illusion]

I propose we make a new term for "thing i dont like"
