Nemesis_ · May 28, 2013

Dudebro games are fine but I think the issue is that it has become every single publishers wet dream to get a game to "hit" with the dudebro and thus it's sacrificing experimental or more progressive approaches to game design.

Dudebro is going to be a fantastic game when it comes out.

Brodudes > Dudebros.

antitrop · May 28, 2013

Under most uses of the term I've seen in use around the internet, I would be considered a dudebro.
Anyone who knows me in real life would laugh their ass off at the thought.

It's become a rather meaningless pejorative term to describe pretty much anyone that doesn't enjoy exclusively indie games and it's bullshit.

I have no problem with genuine dudebro games, not to say all or even most are great. I have a problem when they try to shoehorn other IPS into the Dudebro mode. Its unnecessary and other games do this same thing better.

Is Crackdown dudebro?

If so can we have more dudebro games please.

kittens · May 28, 2013

I like dude bro games despite of the dude bro-ness of them. I'm sick of hyperviolent, anti-social, emotionally inept masculinity in video games.

Trokil · May 28, 2013

Yeah, let's give more games the dudebro treatment like they did with the Star Trek movies or FPS and other things.

Perhaps Michael Bay will have some input.

TheDarkKnight774 · May 28, 2013

It's the new term used by gaming forums for the age old angst. The gamers that only buy a couple of hits. They've been around forever and I really don't mind them. Mainly because I don't cross paths with them.

Back in the ps2/one era they were the "casuals" who gamers hated because they were gaming when it was "cool" and didn't have to fight the stigma of our youth.

To me you're talking about God of War which is an ultimate dudebro game.

King Tubby · May 28, 2013

Something blows up, everybody wants to copy it, the core fans hate that everyone is trying to copy something, so they end up hating the original thing that blew up and the people that like it. Hence, dudebro. Call of Duty games are fun as hell. Not so much when gameplay mechanics that work well for those games are needlessly infecting other franchises.

I think the extreme sense of ass-slapping comradery and the general interactions between the squad members of Gears makes it more dudebro than God to most people.

I think Gears is probably the prototypical example of a "dudebro game".

Army of Two is the most dudebro game ever, but it's definitely in the mold of Gears.

Killzone 2 was a pretty hardcore shooter. Not casual or dumbed down enough to be dudebro.

Killzone 3 kinda tried to be dudebro and failed.

botty · May 28, 2013

People are just jealous that dudebros have the power. Just like they were jealous when casuals had the power during that wii reign.

It has some decidedly dudebro qualities, but I'm hesitant to describe it as dudebro.

CaptainSlow · May 28, 2013

I have nothing against dudebro games. I love Call of Duty, Halo, Madden, Gears, etc...

What bothers me are people like my former roommate. Only plays MLB the Show, Madden and Call of Duty and some other sports games. I gave him Skyrim to try, he gave up after 10 minutes because it was "too hard" and played Tiger Woods after. He also bought Red Dead Redemption at GameStop and returned it the same day because it was "too confusing." It's frustrating.
