Quote from: TBlocks on January 20, 2016, 10:21:48 AMThat's the same thing though. Why would you force updates when you could just release a new thing totally updated?Oh and the technical side of it would be a nightmare.Because you could make it cheaper, for one thing. $60 a year vs., I don't know, $20 a year."but muh sustainable business model"That's why it's a bad genre. They don't deserve to make as much money as they do.

I don't see what's wrong with caring about graphics. Sure it doesn't make the game, but if it's nice to look at then it's a bonus.

Graphics should be a thing if its a AAA game developer on a next gen console. Like it or not, it is an appealing aspect. A huge criticism of CoD is how bad it looks because of how old and bad the engine is.

These aren't little things like adding new characters in Smash Bros. This would be like totally overhauling the hit detection in the game and making you download that.

Yeah, I hate the stuff that's just built in a day with free unity assets. Awful.
A couple years ago, I might have been able to give a nice list, but nowadays, I think it makes more sense to list genres instead, ranging from "I personally don't care for these kinds of games," to "why the fuck is this even a genre?"1. Sports2. Interactive movies3. RTS/MOBA4. MMORPGs5. Survival horror6. Racing7. Beat 'em up/hack 'n' slash 8. First-person shooter9. Any type of "simulation" game that doesn't actually simulate anything10. Shoot 'em ups, with the exception of bullet hellDishonorable mention: Visual novels, life simulation, pornography
So...mostly everything?
