You're a very black and white kind of guy ey. Neptunia games are all identical aside from the spin offs.
Japan is even worse than the West. But I guess you haven't played any HD:N's. I'd recommend either
waiting for Re;Birth 3 or getting Re;Birth 2 they are pretty fun.
do you not see the irony in remarking that western games are bleak because they are all sequels then hype up a sequel at the end, though im not up on neptunia so maybe that was a joke that went over my head and its not the actual next sequel in line.

Gaming was better in my day! You kids with your PlayStation's and your Xboxes. Grumble grumble.
Western gaming is bleak. It has to be a sequel or a duplicate of something successful. Japanese gaming well
lets be honest how many new RPG franchises are there coming out this year and next versus how many sequels, remakes, and reboots?
A console generation peaks in the middle when developers have the hardware down perfectly and the install base is big enough for risks
to be taken. If it doesn't get better in 2 years or so when we hit that middle we are well and truly fucked for at least the rest of the generation.
Ponder that whilst you await Hyperdimension Neptunia VII to get a port

As we grow older we tend to view things in a different light, enjoy new things, find new interests, find out something we've liked before just doesn't do it for us anymore, and so on.
How has this experience been for you? How have you started out, which was your first game, genre, guilty pleasure, and what might have changed over the years that made you notice this topic in the first place? Do you still enjoy gaming as much as when you started out, or have you grown old, bitter and jaded over the years?
For me personally, gaming has faded into the background as soon as I started working. I grew up with the good old SNES, having a blast with pretty much (IMO) the best JRPGs there are, even to this day: Secret of Mama, Illusion of Gaia, Breath of Fire, FF6, the list goes on. Same for Action Adventures, in the veins of LoZ:LttP, Super Metroid, Act Raiser. I've played them (and many other games) a lot, both when I got them and when I felt there wasn't anything better to play right now.
The thing is, all of these games innovated in some way, if only through better graphics sometimes, but also in storytelling, feeling more like actual stories than just something that's tacked on for the sake of having a (frilled, incoherent, all over the place) red thread running through. These days I just don't feel even close to the same level of excitement from playing games, especially the wonder of discovery has been lost on me in the most recent generation, with a exceptions like the Tales of, The Witcher and Souls series of games.
Apart from a few noteworthy exceptions in terms of single player games, I enjoy playing with friends or even just talking about games more than actually playing them. Whether I just grew old, life got in the way and I'm too stressed out, or "they just don't make them like they used to do", I'm not sure, but I've lost a lot of what made my childhood enjoyable because of it.
Feel free to share your own story and opinion or comment on my rant, and have fun discussing.
iv been playing games since i was old enough to hold a atari joystick and i find that with my self i may go through periods of burn out that lasts months possibly a year or two where i don't touch games except the occasional retro game. i find that for my self i agree to a degree with some of the sentiments you have said. i do find a lot of the AAA games today are repetitive and bland. you can have all the pretty 4k graphics available, but if your story is lacking and the game play isn't there id rather watch a good anime or go back and play a retro game i didn't have a chance to play yet.
the good thing about my periods of burn out is that during that time new games come and go that i may hear nothing about that leads to when i return to gaming again having that sense of discovery and wonder when i play some gem i didn't know existed. i play a lot of indie games not because its the cool thing to do but instead cuzz im constantly looking for that feeling of awe i get from a game that just surprises me and knocks me off my feet.
i think life, stress and commitments on your time as you grow will always lead to becoming some what jaded, we all grow up and our tastes grow with us, and for us older gamers that sense of NESstalgia of the games we grew up with will color how we see new games and how we feel about what genres we play. we just need to be careful that the love of the things from our past don't blind us to the joy we can find in new games.

i work out at home a lil bit though i should do more basicly i do a lil cardio, i dance, i do knife , manriki, tonfa, nunchaku katas, and i take a 4 mile walk every week or two. most my exercise comes from playing with and chasing around a 2 1/2 year old.

i feel integrated because of friendships i have gained through discussions here, i have a few members here i talk to pretty often and a handful i speak to daily through steam, skype, the forum here, and rarely these days the irc.

I watch totalbiscuit too, but I have to admit, his review of Hotline Miami 2 was pretty fanboyish. He failed to address any of the major complaints about the game, like the larger number of long areas with windows and enemies behind them with guns that can shoot you from off-screen, and only showed gameplay from one level and character. Not saying I disliked the game, because I didn't, but that review was pretty bad. Other than that, though, his reviews are good.
Also watch AngryJoe. Found him after getting disgusted with IGN and their obvious biases, and I have to say, I've mostly agreed with his opinions. His videos can get dumb occasionally when he goes overboard with a joke, but he still has good reviews. His Alien: Isolation video was spot-on.
i watch AngryJoe as well but he covers way more console releases and as i said i don't buy console games, except maybe once every year or two. if im going to invest in something for gaming it will be my pc, more utility, blah blah master race blah blah. TB does occasionally fan-boy it up like the Hotline Miami WTF IS?. but much less often then your average YouTube reviewer plus he goes over the info i want the most that a lot of reviewers skip like the UI, the options menu, if its mod enabled, size of install, and how resource heavy it is etc. i also watch dodger from press heart to continue since she covers a lot of Japanese ,otaku based games.

for pc gaming i like total biscuit, he is very in depth without annoying over use of opinion. he does his best to just give the information with what he thinks of the quality, the systems, the game play and the ui and options. i don't really console game i mean i have a 360 but haven't bought more then 5 games for it in as many years. i do play a lot of emulators and for the retro games i generally just look up the basic info online and then decide to try it or not instead of relying on a pros opinion.
i watch a lot of others at random on youtube mostly as something to listen to as i clean and take care of my son during the day.

Konami we used to know is no more, forget about it. They will soon move onto the gambling industry almost completely, while their studios will shift entirely to mobile market. It's not like it matters anymore, since all of their most influential creators have left the corporate giant anyway.
Japanese gamedev industry is in a very poor state at the moment; they're constantly failing to readjust to modern times and often shot themselves in the feet. Those who still want to create games and remain faithful to their audiences already moved away from the old corporate business models.
many of those points are true to some degree. most the old school devs that gave two shits about the consumers of the games they make , and the integrity of the games they put their name on didn't quit so much as were forced to quit . from the articles, interviews etc iv read this last year the bigger company's have gone out of their way to make these devs unhappy so they would quit . quitters don't require severance pay, and the company's don't have to pay for contract cancellation penalties if the dev was the one to break the contract. the heavy hitter big name designers like inafune, kojima etc. cost a ton more to sign to contracts then no-name programmers making rehashed sequels to the IP the big name designers built up.
as for the industry on japans side of the pond refusing to adjust to modern times, you hit the nail on the head. but thats to be expected when you have companies who are based around a system that puts more importance on tradition then innovation.

There's a few problems with PC achievements. Though steam is probably the biggest DRM it's not the only one. Origin and Uplay also both have completely separate achievement systems which sucks that you have a bunch of different profiles with achievements scattered around. Another thing is that sometimes the achievements themselves are locked into the game instead of a client (though I'm not sure if this is done as often now) so it makes it really hard to stack achievements on PC.
What makes Playstation better for achievements is that it's all saved on your PSN account going across multiple consoles so your achievements stack instead of just being everywhere. It's much more satisfying.
thats why there are services like playfire, (https://www.playfire.com/) it tracks your achievments on xbox, psn,steam etc all under one account so you can keep track of them all in one place, also they provide rewards and discounts at online game stores based on what achievements you clear. and its a free service.

He doesn't work for Konami anymore, and Konami owns the rights to Castlevania, ergo if he made another Castlevania game without working for Konami or having an official licensing deal with them, they'd sue him so hard he'd be penniless in a few minutes. It's the same for the Banjoe-Kazooie spiritual successor, Yooka-Laylee. A lot of the original developers that started the games left the companies they were working for, but still wanted to make the same type of games, so spiritual successor time. Probably doesn't hurt that the companies that own the rights to those two series are doing pretty much nothing with them, and yet everyone wants more of those games. Microsoft and Konami are kinda shooting themselves in the feet with this.

That isn't what I mean by "evidence", if someone shot hittler wouldn't there be records of the murder of a art student by the hands of a person that oddly has no documentation on who he is? Perhaps someone with clothing and a weapon of unidentifiable origin?
ill just say that the amount of unsolved cases a year of homicide is staggering and not in just third world nations . even here in the usa we have a huge number of cases that are never solved and no one is ever arrested. http://anepigone.blogspot.com/2013/01/rates-of-unsolved-murder-by-state.html have some slightly out of date stats.

Cross Channel. Period.
cross channel is not the right vn for what your looking for but it is a damn good read. if you haven't read cross+channel and plan to do so don't read the spoiler below as to why its not a good fit here.
while cross channel does have a yandere, and in a way bad ends though not really. its a linear story hes looking for branching plot with a ton of bad ends cross+channel while it is my fave vn it don't fit the bill here.
