Thoughts on the current stage of flash games

Posted by RiftMaster - August 20th, 2008


Is it just me or with a few notable exceptions, are most flash games nowadays horribly boring and uninspired or what? What's even creepier is they aren't straight crap... they're technically excellent and well-put together. They're just something I would never spend any time playing. It's like the same faggotry that has befallen the larger game industry is now influencing the next generation of flash games. I blame it on the fact that most of the people making flash nowadays probably started playing games with the PS2... as opposed to guys like Tom who were in highschool when stuff like the Neo Geo was new...

It's like everyone has forgotten how to make a good game (i'll be the first one to admit I'm guilty of this as well). Fancy physics don't cut it kid. For all I know you lifted your pretentious physics engine from source. Make a good game dammit. It doesn't have to "push the bar" or be "innovative". It has to be fun. Thats why games exist. It's not a sports competition. It's not who's tech-cock is bigger. It's about making something that people will waste precious hours of their life on... and not regret it years later.

Thats my open statement to all of you out there: MAKE A GOOD GAME GODDAMN YOU

stop making flash games that are about as much fun as this:

Or maybe not

care to elaborate?

Am I the only one to NOT have played this superman game for the 64? Was it 'that' bad?

Yeah bro it was THAT BAD. Like the video game equivalent of the dry heaves, or perhaps typhoid, or ball cancer.
