Post your genuine opinions that get the most hate.
I think From Software should have kept making games they want to make instead of chasing profits.
I could go for 1 more BOTW game. Give Zelda a proper Trilogy. (No, I don't include the musous.)
Dudes who like Nintendo games or anime games with cute girls have some kind of mental illness. I don't say that to be mean I genuinely believe it.
>>725972668I do not care for RTS games too much clicking
Starfield is a better game than Skyrim in every regard
if you don't understand what a genre is and why certain games fall into certain genres you should not be discussing video games (or media in general) with other people.
Final Fantasy XIV isn't an MMORPG.
Vampire Survivors is the embodiment of everything wrong with modern game design and it drives me cuckoo that it's seen as an "honest" indie game.
>>725972668Valve is killing the industry for profits like any other corporation, maybe even worse, it pretends to be your friend
>>725973615Now this is a post that belongs in this thread. And I hate fucking hate Skyrim, but liking Starfield more is just oddball behaviour
>>725972668America can't win against the Chinese because freedom and democracy makes them weak
>>725972668I don't care if a tranny made a game if it's fun.

>>725972668I think Shadow the Hedgehog is the best Sonic game.
>>725973681I think it's funny when pedants get upset because you're mad about the most meaningless shit.
>>725972668Resident Evil 2-4 and Silent Hill 2 de-makes were utter shit. The classics unironically have better gameplay, atmosphere, replay-value, AND writing.RE2R and RE4R are literally exact same trash as the RE3R. Only hypocrites shit on the latter and give the other two a free pass on the very same sins.
>>725974310i'm glad to hear my opinion upsets you so greatly.
>>725972668
>>725974503>RE2R and RE4R are literally exact same trash as the RE3R.This it's some huge coping mechanism that RE2R is anything better. It's a fucking bad game with awful movement, bad game design choices, and dry, boring dialogues. Guess it was just hype fueled by a shilling campaign that made normies blind
I think women don't belong in video games. As in female characters.
>>725973480Every game is too much something if you want to be good at it.
>>725974170This but because whites are racially inferior
Nintendo has two of the most overrated gaming franchises of all time, Zelda and Metroid.Millenial writing is actually Gen X writing.Steam is just as predatory as Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony. Also the worship of Gabe Newell is pure reddit cringe
>>725972668Call of Duty was a respectable franchise that deserved every bit of its success and popularity. Furthermore, Infinite was a good game, and probably the last true CoD game we will ever get.
>>725975545Oh and Goldeneye fucking sucks too
People relish the glory days of the Xbox 360 party chats, and blame Microsoft that that community died out, but the truth is that those communities could have still existed if the people didn’t change, but they did. They weren’t taken from you, you all just moved on.
>>725972668valve is jewish
>>725972668I think games should have attractive women AND attractive men.
>>725972668I want more games that appreciate Christian themes and valuesI want more traditional romancesI think easy mode on traditional RPGs is the smart move to save grindingI don't mind good black charactersI fucking hate Jewish characters
In fighting games, if you need to have a burst mechanic to balance the game, your game is shit period.
Indie games are a plague to this industry. AAA games get a lot of flack for copying eachother and being unoriginal, but indie games do the same thing flooding the market with 10x more trash and no one bats an eye.
Every MMORPG should reset their servers and delete every single account once a year.
>>725975830party chats were the beginning of the end. the people who relish the glory days of 360 party chats are NOT the same people that blame microsoft for killing communities>>72597630299% of indie games are shit but those 1% are the ones carrying the actually good games
JRPGs are all boring, unoriginal garbage that should have stopped being made after the SNES era. I like Japanese storytelling, I like anime artstyles, I think JRPGs are trash.
>>725972668Nasser El sonbaty should have won the '97 Olympia.
>>725972668vidya related?Thief I and II are uncslop.
>>725972668Literally all nintendo games are absolute fucking trash for manchildren.
>>725972668I will never play any game that had a single foid on the creative staff. I wont even pirate it. I might pirate a game that 'groids worked on, but I won't pay for it, but foids are dealbreaker.
There has never been a good Crash Bandicoot game. Even the early PS titles are technically competent, but their game design is on the level of some shitty no-name 2D platformer of that era.Classic Megaman has better gameplay than Megaman X.I don't know, those may be my most controversial takes.
>>725972668I think back tracking in games and tank controls are both great. Unironically, I like them both a lot. I also don't have any issues with random encounters and don't think visualizing them on-screen with enemies running around is a massive "improvement".
>>725972668Thief 3 is the best entry in the series to replay. First ones are better the first time around but are too tedious when I come back to them.Hitman > Dishonored > Thief > Deus Ex > Splinter cell (only chaos theory and xbox version of double agent are truly good)
English voice acting in fantasy games is fundamentally flawed. I'd rather read subtitles while the characters speak in a made-up language.
>>725972668Games that pride themselves on being "difficult" are genuinely bad games. The point of vidya is to have fun. But manchildren want games to be hard because they lack challenges in modern living
BG3 released on Linux. The year of the Linux desktop came and went.
Turn-based games have no reason to exist outside of certain multiplayer contexts. There is zero reason why a player should have to wait for an NPC's 'turn', when the whole concept of turns only exists as a means to facilitate gameplay between human players, which is not an obstacle with CPU players.Anything singleplayer that is turn-based would be infinitely better if realtime, or at the very least, RTwP.Rogue Squadron, Battalion Wars, and Star Fox were the only good nintendo exclusive games.Galactic Battlegrounds is a superior version of AoE2 that solves almost all the issues AoE2 has.VR will resurge in popularity in 5-10 years. 1440p is the worst resolution. It lacks the speed and performance of 1080p, and lacks the clarity of 4k, sitting in an ugly middle ground that has the worst of both. It also does not scale well.The ideal screen size for 4k is 27". Dark Souls 1 is the only good game in its genre.Sometimes the knockoff of an existing franchise is actually an upgrade.
Stealth mechanics are fine, but stealth games suck ass
>>725972668I think it's just one guy but when I state that I like xenoblade 3, whatever thread I'm in gets spammed.
>>725977963so just don't play them. What a shitty bait.Just accept people like turn based games and you don't.
>>725972668A man such as myself is totally able to love more than one woman at the same time while that's actually impossible if we're talking about any woman. Men were projected to have multiple partners while women were not.
>>725977963How do you turn something like Slay The Spire or XCOM into realtime without making it into a completely different game?
725976650>weeb has shit opinion for the sake of controversylmao
>>725977963>Dark Souls 1 is the only good game in its genre.This is correct.Also, while both are bad games, DS2 is better than DS3.

Every Doom game was good until EternalI have played all of them and this is my unadulterated and sincere opinion
>>725972668The entire Japanese gaming industry, outside of porn and platformers, is a complete joke. Unless they steal wholesale from Western media and Western developers, they churn out infantile, dumbed down shit.

>>725973019I like black people but hate niggers.
The only thing I can remember saying that got people to yell at me is that Deltarune would be better if it completely cut out Ralsei and Susie.
BOTW was absolute shit and a complete missDurability is used to pad out the game, a game which features empty sprawl and similar dungeonsDid not deserve any of the praise it got
People who treat piracy like a moral action against the man are the biggest faggots of all.
>>725981058Of courseThe whole fucking game is designed around the tension of having your gun unequipped while you're exploring, it makes little difference in gameplay but a massive difference in your brain
>>725981370PS I wanna expand that post to mention that Doom 1/2/64 also all had sections that didn't give you enough guns and ammo, plunged you into darkness, sprung teleporting monsters/monster closets on you for horror value.They did it less than Doom 3 but it was there.Meanwhile Doom Eternal turns into fucking Banjo Kazooie, "swing across these monkey bars and double jump to collect 1/73 glowing juju widgets to unlock the funko pop in your spaceship house"

MicroCorpFagMan says its not good so lets be respectful!>2025>say gg>bannedCorporations factually changed the social rules to where if you were perceived as offensive then you would be banned.

>>725974031gabe could fuck my dog and I'd still let him off the hook for supporting gaming on linux
I have two that tie into each other. The first being that roguelikes and roguelites are bottom of the barrel trash that give a developer the excuse to half-ass every game. The second is that indie games should be called amateur games. I say this because very little effort is made to understand how games are designed for wider audiences that don't obsess over specific genres or titles. You should not be making Metroidvanias for people who can do a 100% Super Metroid speedrun from memory, you should aim to make it for the 12 year olds that played the game in 1994. Sonic-style fan games all look like shit because developers are hyper-focused on rabid fanbases, so map design goes out the window in favor of abstract obstacle courses where half the play time is spent up in the air.
>>725974503reminder that capcum doesn't want you to play the originals. they want you to buy the remakes because they're "better", even almost going as far as telling GOG to fuck off for even suggesting rereleasing the original versions
>>725972668no game should have rpg elements, leveling up and stat allocation are shit mechanics that lazy devs rely on to create gameplay variety instead of designing levels and encounters that are interesting
Console gaming is objectively better in every meaningful way than PC gaming. Something like the steam machine + GOG / pirated games equalize.
>>725976263i think all games should have a burst mechanic
I love it when games add RPG elements. I love levelling up and stat allocations.
>>725982456>You should not be making Metroidvanias for people who can do a 100% Super Metroid speedrun from memory, you should aim to make it for the 12 year olds that played the game in 1994.I've always had similar thoughts about pic related.I sorta blame I Wanna Be The Guy as patient zero, but IWBTG was also intentionally a high effort shitpost game and only later did jerkoffs go "No let's make a game like that for real"
>>725976263Comeback mechanics are shit in general
Once physical games die, gaming dies. I don't want to play "digital only" games, I don't want to use steam or have a subscription to play digital games, those are just scams.
>>725972668Gothic 3 is best one in gothic series
If a game has a subscription, it's not a game, it's a method to extort money out of you. They want you to pay to have a meaningless job.If a game isn't a product, it's not a game. Services are worthless.
kb+mouse is the best control scheme both for 2d and 3d for anything that doesn't require a dedicated analog controls (like driving or flying game), for which a dedicated hardware (wheel/joystick) is the best making controllers inherently inferior and the only reason they still exists is because of familiarity
roguelites are predatory gambling games and incentivize producing slop with no real effort needed to put into other areas of the game such as setting, characters, storytelling, audio, or challenge, ultimately harming the potential of what video games could be as a medium
>>725982424He killed gaming on linux, retard, like to make a game on linux, you NEED to make it for windows first, it's not optional anymore
I find Persona fans who constantly beg for a FeMC really annoying because I feel like most of them just want to play out their AGP fetishes and not because they actually care about female characters.
>>725984830That's the truth. You'll never see a P3P fan who likes it because it has less content and everything is menus. They like it because they can be a girl. They do not care for Persona outside of that.
>>725975136I think you are gay
>>725972668most modern "boomer shooters" suck
>>725972668Videogames from the 90's and early 00's are still the best games ever, with few notable (yeah, duh) exceptions. For example pretty much nothing tops C&C Series 98-02, even with Generals to the lesser extent. And so on. Good games (not trash) from that era innovated, didn't care for censorship, and were a blast. They still are.The notable exceptions are obviously mostly indie. Minecraft, Factorio, Dwarf Fortress. But also Dead Space (the first one, the original only) was pretty good too. Well, you get the point.
Mass Effect 3 ending wasn't really that bad
>>725972668I don't think there is anything wrong with being ESL or thirdie on /v/.
>>725974170America can't win against the Chinese, not because of freedom and democracy (they have none either).But because their industries are a joke compared to the chinese's and the America is already struggling to pay off its massive, snowballing debt
>>725984932I remember how every single fem Joker thread was full of people saying things like "omg I'm gonna romance all the men the shota the older guys OMG I'm gonna be such a slut" It kind of just ruined FeMCfags for me. They just see the whole thing as a fetish.
Terraria is an objectively better open world game than any other, including BOTW, TOTK, Witcher 3, Xenoblade X, and any other garbage you could come up with.Armored Core is the zenith of mech games, simply because there's no disgusting tranime tainting it.Gooner and coombait are disgusting. Video games should not have fanservice in them.Death to cutscenes.Death to voice acting.Death to graphics whoring.I would rather play Tetris and Pong for 500,000,000 hours straight, then even think of touching Uncharted or God of Soi or TLOU.
>>725985405I got called commie thirdie for saying I prefer China over US these days. Muricans think Finland is "culturally very Russian". That was enough for me.
>>725985826Minecraft, anon. Sorry, but Minecraft tops Terarria.
On the topic of Persona, it should drop the calendar system and social links. Selecting the correct dialogue option is a pretty boring gameplay element and only Persona 3 balanced it with dungeon crawling and story well.
>>725986103>maintained by an actively anti-consumer company that keeps trying to split the fanbase, so they can sell mods through the xbox store
I genuinely believe women have ruined videos games just like they have ruined every society where they were given equal rights. It has never ended well and we should repeal the 19th before we pass the point of no return.
>>725976881>Classic Megaman has better gameplay than Megaman X.This isn't controversial at all. There are, at best, four good MMX games, and everyone agrees. Meanwhile, most people would praise every classic MM except maybe 7 and 8.
>>725985858>I got called commie thirdie for saying I prefer China over US these daysprefer them for what?
>>725972668I don't particularly like shooters and only tolerated halo because it felt like an early 90 syfy seriesI hate 3d Zelda's and have since I played OOT at a friend's house almost 30 years agoRPGs quality directly correlates to how complicated the fights are.

Games should not have numerical stats or damage numbers shown to the player unless there's a believable in-universe reason for them to exist. Stats and levels in general are bad.
>>725972668cyberpunk is a good game and people who focus on politics as a reason to hate the game are faggots who probably don't even play videogames
I think transsexuals deserve a space in the gaming culture and have representation whether it be characters or a game's subject, even if they are overrepresented I still think they deserve that space due to how much of a minority they are. Yes I do realize this makes me look like a bleeding heart, no I do not think it is a mental illness.
invisible war is better than human revolution
>>725990484I can kinda see that. Human Revolution definitely got too much of a free ride for being a lousy cover shooter which Mankind Divided doubles down on. Invisible War's back end with the x-ray gun really drags it down, though.
>725990438That's bait
>>725972668Calling something "reddit" is an invalid complaint. If you dislike something, be specific or fuck off.

No wonder they all have anxiety problems.
>>725990438>no I do not think it is a mental illness.It is. It's a severe mental illness to think you'll be happy surgically modifying your body for vanity reasons and having a breakdown because you were born with a non-ideal body.The treatment for this was to learn that everyone feels they are imperfect and to accept what can and cannot be changed.The modern treatment is to double down on that feeling, convince people to change to fit their idealized version of themselves, and to reject reality at all costs. It is exacerbating the mental disease and an attempt is being made to normalize rejecting your own flesh and blood body for not being perfect.If you actually gave a single shit about these people, you'd learn to tell them they should get comfortable with how they were born.

>>725972668Half life 2 is overrated garbage. I dont understand how or why the users and critics rated it so highly. The game does nothing better than it's predecessor. It is worse and inferior to every AAA game that came out in 2004. Half life 2 is a bland boring and mediocre corridor shooter.
>>725990750I wouldnt hate zooms if they learned to hide powerlevels. But they didnt. Its mind blowing how quick they treat the internet like their laundry.
Mass Effect 2 was a step down from 1. It feels like one of those sequels that improves on the small things, but miss the big picture of what made the first one so great. 1 was a great game with a great story, and 2 barely expands on the premise and gives you a side quest simulator.

>>725990990I blame that on social media, Zooms were shoved in front of iPads and phones while their parents drank boxed wine so the only thing that gives them any sense of dopamine is likes, so of course they were gonna whore out things to get that. I don't blame them just their circumstances.
>>725972668Nintendo games suck
>>725991128Im gonna play devil's advocate, He's not wrong the fact that Reddit along with the 10 or other handful of /pol/ boogey men namecalls (Kike, Tranny, Brown, Nigger, etc.) are just the default response for something you don't like on /v/ was never a good criticism to complain about something.

Both are actively to retard to be allowed to have opinions on games and demonstratively have damaged and flawed games with their shit wants and demands. having a story censored and rewriten because you're afraid a fictional character is talking to men who aren't you is some hyper autistic shit in the same level as an ugly woman being mad at a sexy bikini girl.

Air juggling enemies in action games is stupid as shit. What's the point of fighting an enemy that can't fight back?
>>725993594The point of juggling is to keep them from fighting back as long as possible because if they fight back you get hit and die you dumbass.
>>725993769>if they fight back you get hit and dieShitter

Ultimate Weapons locked at the 90% point of a game are fucking ridiculous. Either have them behind a super boss or don't.
Touhou's gameplay and presentation is slightly improved with every game, but everything else peaked with UFO and shows no signs of getting better.-music is shit in terms of composition and instrument choice, and recent songs sound like he has only been doing the bare minimum-art style has been skullfucked since ZUN went all digital with TD-character design doesn't really feel like Touhou anymore, designs are either too crowded or too simple and almost none of them are frilly-the stories are far too complex for a shmup and require extra reading outside the games to understand everything-ability cards were a much needed refresher, they're good actually-the air fighters are less mechanically complex than the ground fighters, and the clusterfuck of bad ideas that is 17.5 is tasofro's worst contribution to the series-ZUN not outsourcing netcode development in UDoALG and doing it himself despite not really knowing how, made the game massively suffer and lots of basic features were cut. Netplay was never finished either, so it's a repeat of PoFV in that regard-not ZUN related, but the translators at thcrap deciding to stop taking from the wiki and just 4kids everything has been massively detrimental and partially why the stories are hard to understand for EOPs. They know they have a monopoly and take full advantage because they're selfish and conniving retards-the fanbase being comprised only of secondaries was a meme and not true back in the day, but now it is absolutely true
>>725993834you seriously do not have 2 functioning neurons. In your head you have a single thought:>I want people to be impressed by my challenge-seeking brain refusing to approve of anything I deem below my tastes.Unfortunately this makes you ignorant and inconsiderate.As a result you come off as a moron who thinks anyone who picks up DMC instinctively knows exactly how to juggle all enemies and avoid damage while continuing combos forever.In summary you are barely functioning as a human being and no one will ever take your opinion seriously.
Pic related has the best storytelling of any game.
>>725993594Ideally you can't be attacking all the enemies at once, so you're leaving yourself open to attack from some enemies while you lay in damage on others. In addition, you can use combos defensively by repositioning yourself and some enemies towards or away from others. Just because some games don't get the balance right doesn't mean you can't.The real reason is that enemy design is a lost art compared to player combat options. A good enemy suite can keep any player character in check, but most devs focus on just making what the player can do fun instead of making a good back and forth (or only doing so for some bosses).
>>725993938Especially when they're fucking awful like KH1 Ultima Weapon. Holy fuck that thing takes way too much grinding

>>725994681It is morally correct to call someone stupid when they are being stupid.If you're upset someone is calling you out on a retarded thread, in a thread about retarded opinions, then you are retarded.
>>725980452Yeah, you're not wrong. Western Devs aren't doing so well lately. The only ones I can think of are Anno1800 and Against the Storm. Maybe Anno Rome too, I haven't played it yet.
>>725994882This thread isn't about retarded opinions. You seem to have a huge misunderstanding about it and your own self worth. Basically you are fucking pathetic.
>>725981356Absolutely
While many people agree, whenever I bring up how stupid and gay encumbrance is in RPGs there will inevitably be a wave of fags who go on about "muh realism" and "hurt dude that's so you dont pick up everything, muh strategy" yet somehow dont understand that carry 2 swords, a battle axe, a totem pole and 6000 gold pieces is unrealistic regardless of the allowed weight.
>>725994650That's Savan from Dragon's Dogma my man at least I think it is but that's also a pretty good example of good enemy variety that you need to learn to fight with what you have available. DD2's lower enemy variety is a big reason it doesn't stand up to Dark Arisen.
>>725983323If you didn't watch it on a theatre, it's not a movie. Anything that goes direct to television or streaming is nothing but a package to extort advertising and/or subscription out of you.
>>725995019this isn't a safe space. You air out your dirty laundry I'm gunna say it stinks.
Death Stranding is the greatest game ever made
>>725972668>horrific instead of the original dogshitzoomer self censorship has been a disaster for the human race
>>725995190my bad it looked like Caim from the thumbnail. But you're right about that, DD2's enemy variety really sucked.>>725995230that's a dumb reply, you can literally buy movies and they're yours and on your shelf.

>>725974503Haven’t played RE4R yet even though I already bought it, but RE4 is simply timeless. I don’t know how you can improve upon it but making Ashley ugly and annoying and making Leon boring and uncharismatic probably won’t help my experience much
Emulation is a waste of time, and all retro games are just archaic slogs if you don't have a prior history with them.
>>725991125For me, that's Sci Fi. I've run out of love for it
This is unironically trueWithout matter, all that remains is justice
>>725976476RPGs in general are dogshit. There isn’t a single RPG with proper leveling and scaling. Every single enemy in an RPG, especially bosses, is either too strong or too weak. Makes it impossible to take Witcher 3 seriously when those evil elves or whatever died like little bitches after being hyped up throughout the entire game
>>725995561You and your kind are in for a terrible surprise after death (hint: conscious awareness continues)
>>725985227The problem isn’t that the ending is bad, the problem is that the producers purposely ruined the game because of stupid requirements. I forget what the problem was exactly but basically the producers basically forced the devs and writers to shit out a half finished product
>>725993098Unironically, there's a fair amount of people who could be helped with actually well intentioned advice along those lines. Look at the amount of zoomers who identify as LGBTQ+ these days, it's way, way, way more than proportional. It's pretty blatantly the western version of being a chuuni, they just want something to make them stand out and be special. Especially so if they would otherwise be straight, white and male, since demonising straight guys is practically built into our society these days. That's without mentioning AGP stuff and how it's blatantly just a fetish for a lot of people.
>>725994507No he doesn't either way, TLOU's story was dogshit in both games. Dynasty Warriors has a better story
>>725992837You could say this about the left too. People always bitch about how much America sucks and [socialized country that has 1% the population of America and is predominantly White] is so much better and yet they refuse to move there
Mods do not fix a game. If a game needs to be modded to be playable, it's not a good game, and you should probably rethink what decisions you made that lead you to think otherwise.
>>725995712Even if it does, the dead have no reason to fear scarcity, and thus have no need to enforce ownership.
>>725993082That's the point of this thread bro
>>725995298That's a completely different argument then. At this point you're complaining entirely about the model not the game.
Most games suck and should be a movie/anime/show instead. Can't believe, that I loved Uncharted or TLOU when I was a kid.
>>725995934While I somewhat agree with the sentiment some really good games are u fortunately handled by incompetent devs and modders can make the game playable.Imperator is the first one that comes to mind for me.
>>725995175I actually agree with your opinion I'm of the same mindsetJust don't let me pick it up if you're gonna add a dumb mechanic like that
>>725996181>Uncharted or TLOU>when I was a kid.
Wario Land 2 is better than Wario Land 3.
>>725996445Yeah wtf why expose yourself like that
My dogshit opinion:>roguelike elements are low effort for devs but increase replayability massively for players so its a good thing they're being tossed into games>same thing occurred with RPG mechanics a decade ago, and while there are some negatives or series ass creed that used them poorly, it still overall made gaymers happier>>725993098Don't the numbers show trans stats went down massively after elon bought twitter and kicked all the groomers off?Telling them their feelings are normal is honestly 80% of the battle, that it's a part of growing up and that the grass always APPEARS greener over the fence
>>725996204Incompetent devs can't make good games. The only exception to the rule is if the game literally does not run on modern hardware without mods.
>>725972668ADS and Sprint serve no real function other then "omg im so realistic look mah" in most FPS games
It's fine if a game isn't for everyone. Different things are for different people, trying to make "everything games" is just bad imo, better to make different games for different people. Also the amount of self loathing and self pitying on this board is utterly pathetic.
>>725972668I actually truly hated breath of the wild and it made me lose faith in nintendo
Difficulty settings are bad game design. The one exception being a hard mode that gets unlocked after beating the game.Difficulty settings that just modify enemy health and damage are atrocious game design.Damage numbers are bad game design.Boss healthbars are bad game design.Most people who download mods are actively ruining the game for themselves. Not everyone, but most.Too many gamers are obsessed with "rewards" and it's fucking ridiculous. It's a genuine brainrot to always need every little accomplishment to get celebrated with a pat on the head in the form of a number going up or a thing they don't care about getting added to a big collection pile.Friction and inconvenience can actually be good game design if used appropriately.
>>725996445>>725996523Teen* cmon, tlou was released 12 years ago.My point is: The stories are good, but I can't stand the gameplay anymore. TLOU is so fucking linear and I don't even enjoy giga open world games. /v/ dark souls and metroidvania pilled me, I can't play movie slop anymore.
>>725997136Alright fine but yes TLOU sucks this is news to nobody but normals
>>725972668The overwhelming majority of western games made after 2010 are straight dogshit. Copy-paste cover-shooter gameplay, empty open worlds full of worthless collectables, lazily tacked-on RPG mechanics, complete lack of innovation or art direction, boring and preachy plots, snarky asshole humor and marvel quips, boss bitches and forced diversity, ugly outsourced graphics, etc.Even the worst JRPGs of the early 2000s are more enjoyable. I know turn-based combat filters a lot of ADHD children and niggermonkeys but if you can get past that you'll find more innovative gameplay, better art direction, world building, story, writing, diversity of characters, and more.PS: Don't reply to me if you're EOP, Ted Woosley and NISA straight fucked your games with shit memes and crass American humor. You can't comment on a JRPG's writing or story until you've played it in nip.
>>725972668EYE Divine Cybermancy wasn't any better or even stranger than any other sci fi FPS and /v/ermine only meme it because of the repetition. Disco Elysium is unironically to high IQ for most /v/ermine.The physical attractiveness of the the female characters have nothing to do with a games qualityPoint and clicks aren't interactive enough to be video games.

>>725997479Okay another late zoomer take then:n64 and ps1 suck, I'd rather play SNES because early 3D is dogshit.
>>725997623I went into EYE genuinely trying to enjoy it but it got old really quick.The setting and backstory is cool and all but your game actually needs to be enjoyable.
>>725995264>He riked itI'm not sure how I feel about the second one though
>>725997787Okay you take that shit back right NOW!!
>>725984383kys jeet
>>725986515It is interesting how Call of Duty started to go to shit the moment they started introducing female characters. It started with BO2, ironically, with Karma and Anderson, and then it just got worse from there. There’s a reason people say BO2 was the last good COD. I miss when COD was a sausage fest. As if the games weren’t ridiculous and over-the-top enough, now they have to put women in them >inb4 there’s a woman in COD2Yeah, for all of one mission. Karma shows up repeatedly throughout the second half and Anderson throughout one mission. And every COD after that has a woman screaming in your ear throughout the entire game
>>725972668Art is not subjective. Neither is humor. Neither is beauty, human or otherwise.
A lot of "classic" titles really aren't that fun to play. Especially console stuff like Banjo Kazooie or Mario Sunshine.
>>725977963Let me respond to this with my own unpopular opinion.RTWP is fundamentally dog-shit and every game that builds around it is primarily a test of patience rather than an interesting and tactical experience. DA:O, Divinity, Pillars of Eternity, etc. are simply not very good because optimizing play is just spending more time micromanaging after the couple hours it takes to get a handle on the systems.That said, the absolute worst, most dog-shit, undeservedly beloved game that suffers from this gameplay style is FTL. What an incredibly boring, uninteresting, and tedious game.
>>725972668Death Stranding has bad writing but great gameplay.
>>725991125That's describing the sci-fi genre. Literally needs new creative blood

The FPS is the most braindead genre ever made
I don't need to play a game to know it's going to be dogshit or that I'm not going to like it. No I will not play Undertale/Deltarune regardless of the fact that you insist that it's gods gift to man and it's so subversive.You also have the fact that you admit to not playing any other games except from toby as you lack basic video game media literacy to know many of the gimmicks in tale are not impressive and were seen in shit like mgs1,re, other indies.I've played earthbound (twice) and enjoy the genre going on to play Hylics, yumi nikki. I don't want to play anything that was primarily influenced by Homestuck and any of the other cancerous fandom shit that birthed the likes of steven universe, hazbin hotel, etc.

Voice actors are never needed, every game can be subtitled. In fact, every game would improve because they could reallocate the budget
WOW was not ruined by casualsWOW was ruined by hardcore raiders being hired as interns and eventually promoted to leadership positions where they spent all the development time and resources on hardcore raiding, streamlined the game around hardcore raiding, realized that they were bleeding millions of players a month by doing this and added in welfare gear and welfare systems and excessive timegating to stem the bleeding.
>>725986515we are passed the point of no return
>>725972668Soulslike games have some of the worst combat in gaming.
AI tools aren't inherently evil and Copyright still applies, your rights as an artist are still protected.AAA developers will still plagerize the shit out of you with or without AI (look at Marathon)Using AI voice acting to solve the timeless problem that voice acting costs too much money to have dialogue rich games with VA which is why so many RPGs and narritive games are so railroaded with almost no real player choice, because you simply can't record enough dialogue. Getting mad at AI Voice Acting when the original voice actors sell the rights to be used in a game (And can also probably secure royalties for further sales using their voice, like DLC), is like getting mad that Microsoft Sam was created in the 90s.Similarly using AI rendering to texture your game using stock texture images as a database to build the model off of is also fine, this enables artists to develop more content in less time, its still up to the artist to make sure it looks good in game, and if it doesn't, who gives a fuck, they would have made a game that looked like shit without AI texturing tools. Remember most of the textures in games like Mario 64 are from a stock image repository, they weren't hand crafted from scratch.
We need to kill this guy.>>726000551
>>725995175>>725996240I half agree. When an encumbrance mechanic just gets in the way of gameplay without adding decision making it feels like dogshit. PoE with its slot and stack based inventory comes to mind; the game drops so much shit and expects you to tediously go back and forth between your stash and the loot all the time. I'm not making any decisions and it would be shrimply better to have, at the very least, some items automatically sent to stash (like currency items).Other times I actually enjoy encumbrance as it makes me think harder on what I'm bringing and what I'm taking. Darkest Dungeon 1 is probably the best game for this since the game is actually designed with the limited inventory in mind. I feel like I'm actually making big decisions and taking risks when I manage my inventory to maximize my rewards while minimizing risk by throwing away or prematurely using other items.
A link between worlds is worse than Skyward sword.Slippy is my favorite member of the Starfox team.There is nothing more cringe than calling the male player trainer of Gen 1 "Red".Fates is the best Fire Emblem yet.Ashley is worse than Mona.I want Sally Acorn to be playable in a Sonic game.We need a new Mega Man Battle Network title featuring Crashman EXE.I want Aerith to live in the remake continuity.I don't want another Sonic rep in Smash.

Games should require IDs, kids shouldn’t be playing with adults.

There should be a better more specific term for immersive sims. Not becasue I have anything against it but because thanks to Spector it became a faggy vague non-term that people attach to virtually any game with a modicum of physics or moody atmosphere.When I'm looking for imsim I want to find a game that plays like Deus Ex, Thief, System Shock, Dishonored. A first-person game with closed but complex leveldesign, slower pacing and variety of solution to each obstacle including physics ones.I do not care for your shitty fantasy open-world third-person rpg, I do not care about your unity asset store horror about collecting notes, I do not care about your top-down zombie survival game.If we have Metroidvanias and Souls-likes why cant we have something similar for games made by Ion Storm and Looking Glass?
Escape From Tarkov is by far the most immersive fps ever created and nothing else comes close. All of these other extraction shooters, while yes, have many different QoL improvements over Tarkov, overall still lack the necessary depth in gameplay to feel as immersive.

>>726012012I loved outward, great game. Feels like there aren't many games out there where you play as a weak character in a NON TURN-BASED fantasy rpg. It doesn't feel like rollslop either.I can agree it had lots of missed potential though. Could have had a better fast travel system instead of having to pay insane amounts of money to the sorrobean taxi guy. Maybe the inclusion of mounts could have fixed that.
Only good Twisted Metals are 3 and 4.
Death Stranding 2 is genuinely one of the best and most forward thinking games ever made, but there's little to no discussion about it because it's ps5 exclusive rn and only 2kniggers play ps5.
Outer worlds 1 is an okay gameOuter Worlds 2 is not even a sequel, its worse as it lacks features the first game already had, the gunplay is like wolfenstein bullets fucking miss a lot and melee sucks and armor is useless on top of enemies being bullet sponges even on Easy mode
Valve's infatuation with "innovation" over the past 15 years got in the way of them being able to make actually good games. Like, we don't need HL3 to "Change the way we think about what a game is" or whatever the fuck, we just want the rest of the story.
>>725974170>America can't win against the Chinesedefine "win"in reality, china is becoming just a much larger version of north korea. it has so many structural flaws that the only way that it can sustain itself is for the communist party to have control of everything while still maintaining the faint illusion of free enterprise. by having control of everything, they can influence all of the traditional metrics of evaluation in order to project a false sense of stability that just doesn't exist.the reason why china has not "failed" yet is the same reason why all authoritarian systems don't "fail": the sheer inertia of having a large population that can not 'vote with their feet' and migrate elsewhere. however, when authoritarian regimes do finally collapse, they collapse quickly and uncontrollably which causes worldwide consequences, such as when the soviet union collapsed.oh, wait... this was supposed to be about games... ok. the reason why bethesda games are popular is the modding scene. remove the modding tools and todd howard is out on the street panhandling for coins. there.
>>725974228An expedition outside of hyrule for whatever reason would be a fun premise
>>726012623To add to this, Valve have pretty much never innovated anything on their own. All of their most successful products/games had been developed initially by people outside of Valve, then Valve come in and just copy and try to improve.
There has never been a good romance in RPG and dating sim elements is the cancer that is killing the genre. And who's to blame? Bioware.

Complaints from oldfags on how Mojang has updated Minecraft aren't worth legitimately taking into consideration, not just because they won't play those newer versions of Minecraft even if Mojang catered to them specifically, but also because a lot of the shit Mojang adds to Minecraft can't typically be found on accident, so if Mojang adds shit that you think is lame you can just not engage with it and it won't matter.
>>725972668I fucking love the Octopath games. How they look, how they play, everything. I've hated on open world games my entire life but those give me a true open world JRPG where I can literally go fucking anywhere and build my team how I like with what I find along the way. Do I want to run through an area extremely underleveled so I can reach a late-game town? I can, and do, often! Do I want to shed my party members to manipulate encounters? Go for it! Do I want to go to the other side of the fucking planet to recruit ONE (UNO) [一] guy who has an ability that can sway the entire fight? Abso-fucking-lutely. I can do it anything and it never gets old coming up with new strategies. Every single NPC you talk to has a backstory that can you wrangle out of them and there are whole mini-stories that play out in and across towns of connected NPCs, some with sidequests attached but most just for the sake of it, reading them all is some of my favorite parts of the game. I played the demo of 0 and it reminded me of my love for the games. Instead of being class-based where everybody gets this list of classes they can swap between, it's a character-based RPG with this whole cast each having their own list of abilities and passives unique to them. You can find random NPCs out there who will teach you abilities themselves or joing your new settlement, which gives even more incentive to talk to literally everybody and interact with the world more. It's just building upon further what I already loved about the first two. I can't fucking wait for the 4th.Don't get me wrong, I get the complaints, mostly about the visuals. They aren't for everybody and I respect that, but it's most definitely my favorite recent series of note.

>>726020052>>726020181To me it's not only the weapons but the lack of actually interesting unlocks and even heart pieces being just random orbs for heart or stamina fruit......That you get from copy-paste looking shrines.It just has so many ??? things while some being lots of fun and interesting. It's just the fact nothing you find is any interesting or progresses the story at all proper. The 4 beasts feel so detached from each other and them having again the same "ancient tech civilization" look doesn't help at all.I just wish the areas were designed more for some movement instead of "YOU CAN GO ANYWHERE BY CLIMBING/GLIDING! :O" because that means you never get that "oh man I want to get there" -> progress in the game -> get unlock -> "wait, can I get there with this!?" -> fun small reward
>>725972668QTEs are good and respect the integrity of videogames far more than simple cutscenes. QTE final bosses are good.
>>725972668Fallout 3 is better than New Vegas. It clearly defines your character's backstory and motivations and the side quests being geographically separate things that are designed to be stumbled upon lends itself to open exploration.

>>725972668A lot of older games aren't as good as modern games but modern games have also lost plenty of things that older games used to do.

>>725972668Gaming, much like music, isn't getting worse as a media. You're either not searching enough for things you like, or you're way too experienced in the genres you look for so your dopamine receptors are just burned out.
70 dollars is a lot to ask for a game, but I have no problem with paying retail price for a new game. Provided I had strong interest in the game to begin with, I don't mind buying at launch. All that higher prices really do is ensure that I will buy fewer games. Episodic releases should be a fraction of the price.The main problem with the Switch 2 is lack of enhancements in Switch 1 games(with Nintendo being a major factor, due to lack of dev kits being available) and battery life. The library is fine, and just like with the previous console, it'll have much more after year 1. Pokemon Z-A is a fine game and more enjoyable than most of the Gen VI+ Pokemon games.I didn't care for Grand Theft Auto V, and I have no interest in Grand Theft Auto VI at all. Modern day GTA is lame because modern times are not worth reflecting on. We already live here.Video game discussion is dead because A) too many people spout the same message incessantly, hoping to convince someone to agree with them, and B) people take shit too personally. Also, coomers/poltards need to be contained or at least ignored.It's okay for a game to be lacking on some technical level if the game is still enjoyable. The kneejerk reaction to any slight flaw discourages other people from enjoying works. If you consider a 7/10 to be bad, your standards are unrealistic, and you're probably not to the type to bother trying to see the good in anything.If you don't like turn-based RPGs, you should just not play them instead of demanding everything become an action game/action RPG. I have no idea why that genre is scrutinized so heavily.Video game streaming is a fun way to share what you like, but the sheer monetization/competition and clear lack of socialization that people have ruined the prospect.

>>726023441And what exactly constitutes as a "modern" game?
>>725972668Code Veronica is a top 3 RE
>>725972668Xenoblade 2 is a fucking dogshit game, and people fucking overrate this series so much.The gameplay is fucking trash, and the story is fucking juvenile.I am really appalled that people unironically call this "the Return Form of JRPG" especially when it integrated fucking gacha into its game mechanics. Absolute garbage.The only thing I can praise is the good world building & open world. But the rest is garbo, sorry if your game needs a fucking 20-30 hours to get good, then it's not good, it's a fucking shit game & that’s fact.The reason people defend this kusoge is the bimbo waifus porn & haremshit, even though they look like cheap eroge rejects. Saitom is just a shit artist, there are better bishoujo artists who can actually design characters for video game without same-face syndrome.This also applies to other Xenoblade series btw. All of them are just mid at best, I feel crazy seeing people oversell them as these intellectual masterpieces of JRPG when the story is the most pretentious & surface-level shit ever.Also, Xenoblade has the most insecure fanbase out of any JRPG fandom (especially 2fags) that gets extremely triggered if anyone criticizes their games or even says something negative.I believe Monolith is a great dev, but I wouldn't call their games good when their only output is XB. Fundamentally, outside their world design, XB is just fucking mediocre: the gameplay is fucking meh, and their story is also mediocre at best. I am tired of people glazing Monolith as this god-tier dev who produce kamige when their best output is being a support studio. I want to see them create new IP with different gameplay to know if they’re great at the game design department so far it’s what they’re lacking the most & hell, I can even overlook shit story if the gameplay is fun.So far I never had fun *playing* Xenoblade outside their world exploration but even it feel tedious (maybe because I'm not huge fans of open world in general)
>>726025412>Xenoblade 2 is a fucking dogshit game, and people fucking overrate this series so much.>The gameplay is fucking trash, and the story is fucking juvenile.This is not an unpopular opinion, lol. How'd you feel about Torna? I found it much easier to enjoy.
>>726025412The only good Xeno game is Xenogears. X could have been good if the combat didn't suck fucking balls.
>>725972668Halo ruined the shooter genre by making regenerating health, very slow walking speed and two weapon limits the norm. Additionally it ruined shooters by virtue of HEAVILY relying on extreme lock on. Even in the year 2000 the game was impressive solely by virtue of initially being console exclusive when shooters were largely considered THE PC genre prior. Had it been released on PC from the outset it wouldn't nearly have been as impressive. Hell, in Combat Evolved the level design is for the most part actual trash tier.These bad things like 2 weapon limits and regenerating health were then reinforced by CoD2 that ushered in the true FPS dark ages. And it took until 2016 with the Doom reboot for people to realize: yes these design paradigms are actually shit.No the reason people don't like Halo anymore isn't because Halo "got bad". Halo was always that bad. People are just realizing that now that they have had a taste of what shooters are supposed to be and there is no nostalgia attachment to newer Halo games... and this is why Halo will never get it's "grand comeback" because "returning to the roots" literally just means "just remake a mediocre game" and then people wonder why it doesn't make them feel the same way than when they were literal children.
>>725973327Me too, but with a number of caveats, mainly a bit of a stronger story focus, no hunting down of memories and we visit a new region, also just better movesets for combat, better dungeons, etc. So a BIT less sandbox, and more working on the foundations of game feel, story, and dungeons.i.e. let's say Zelda, Link and Crew are evicted from Hyrule by some conqueror (make it a Zonai or something) so now most of the game is them being refugees in a neighboring nation regaining strength, fighting off assassins of the conqueror, gaining trust with the locals to ally with them etc. until you can return in the late game and then reconquer it. That way there is now also an excuse to reintroduce Zonai as a more permanent factions (after defeating the guy the rest of his court swears vassalage to Zelda).

>>726025584>This is not an unpopular opinionreally? because if I say that to /v/ or twitter I will get horde of xenofags call me resetrannies or ''i didn't play it right" despite I tried researching the gameplay on internet beforehand.>How'd you feel about Torna?I am quite enjoying Torna surprisingly but boy, do I hate the community quest, like I had no problem if I should do all side quest to progress but most of Torna side quest is just mindless fetch quest and shit. especially that green barrel quest is fucking annoying.XB3 somewhat step into the right direction by making the side quest integrated with main story or making them some sort like sub-arc for main story.sadly XB3 gameplay is basically just XB1+2, so it still suffer similar issue I had with the gameplay of xenoblade games as whole.>>726025664I haven't played X so I can't comment it. but ngl I am interested with it because of the playable mech.agree with Xenogears but only for story, the gameplay is absolute garbage, I would rather play early SNES FF games than having to replay Xenogears lol.honestly I feel like all Xeno games suffer so much in term of gameplay, albeit personally I enjoyed Xenosaga 3 turn based more and wish they can improved it.
>>726025789No one ever says WHY regenerating health is bad.

>>726026474>>726026707Also the side quests in Torna aren't that bad, but you are going to be forced to do most of them at some point. If you get them done along the way it's less painful. There's still a good number you can skip.

I want to see them create new IP with different gameplay to know if they’re great at the game design department so far it’s what they’re lacking the most & hell, I can even overlook shit story if the gameplay is fun.the most ballsy opinion when this board & all sites keep worshipping Monolith Soft as this "Perfect Game developer" ever when I think they're skilled support dev at best.I agree with you anon, I never cared much about Xenoblade as a series but people keep oversell the series & Monolith too much. I think Monolith Soft should make new IP where the gameplay heavily emphasize on the world interactivity since it plays into their strength, world/map design.idk try to make action adventure game or anime arkham knights/GTA or stealth game or smth since those type of games allow them to focus with interactivity between the players & game's world. they can go wild with the world design too.also Monolith should focus on modern/sci fi aesthetic because they're the only Japanese dev that can do sci fi world so well, I would kill for Monolith cyberpunk games honestly.

>>725972668AI will revolutionize gaming once the devs figure out how to implement neural networks into their games to improve the gameplay and make NPC behavior more dynamic.
>>725972668Genuine opinion: don't like first person games when they don't need to be first person. Just don't like 'em. Even if it's a shooter I always feel like I'd enjoy it more if it were third person.I also don't like FPS games I feel like they're all the same with minor differences. There's no variety in the genre.I feel that often games that would benefit from a different perspective choose first person because it's the easiest, you just attach controls to the camera and go off, whereas with a third person camera you'd have to tinker to make sure it doesn't clip into objects and stuff.First person perspective makes me feel uneasy and anxious that there's something behind or just outside field of vision at all times. The idea is that it represents "real life perspective", i. e. you're supposed to be more immersed and feel like you're the guy that you're playing as. But I don't feel that at all, I have no problems being immersed in 3rd person, and I'd rather see my cool character.I should also note that it doesn't feel like real life vision because: In real life, you have an enormous range of peripheral vision. An equivalent would be wearing like a welding mask with a small rectangular window in the front. It sucks.
Minecraft needs mods to be good. Amd I am not talking about muh quality of life vanilla+ shit.

I genuinely love the clicky, concave d-pad of the Xbox SeX controller. I use it for anything 2D.I will never buy a game with my dick, nor do I need hot characters to enjoy a game, but I am significantly more likely to research and wishlist a game if a female character design checks my boxes, and every game that I've ended up buying after that point has been a winner (most notably Symphony of War).Rail Shooters may just be the best genre of all time in terms of the peak games within it. Perfect mixture of raw gameplay, audiovisual presentation, and technological innovation. This applies to both light gun-style games and third-person-ship-style games (After Burner, Star Fox, Rez, etc.)Most games would be better if they were shorter per-playthrough. The only genre that should break 20 hours to hit credits is RPGs and even then more RPGs should be willing to get in and out under 20 hours. Many of the best games ever made can be beaten in one sitting. I don't mean Roguelites either since those have a meta-progression that you build up to over several randomized runs; that said despite being grossly overused these days I don't think roguelite formats are inherently bad.Sometimes remakes of games that aren't 1:1 can still just be better (every TENGO Project remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra & RtDL Deluxe, Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac, etc.) but you should always try to make the originals accessible anyway if not an unlockable within the remake itself.The percentage of games that are great/good/decent/mediocre/bad among new releases hasn't changed THAT much over the decades. It's just that the amount of genuine shovelware and true classics/masterpieces have shifted up and down respectively. True landmark games are much less common and the lower barrier to entry of game dev/publishing has lead to mobile markets & Steam having more individual pieces of worthless trash than any console library ever did even if you'll never actually see most of them.
The N64 fucking sucked.3D games were a new frontier and therefore we shouldn't pretend like they were the apex of the art form back then.Almost all of them were utter ass. The "good ones" like OoT or Mario 64 are barely passable at most.The controller was fucking stupid and so was the game design, the camera controls were almost universally ass in all of these games. They also had some horrific framerates and most locations looked like shit.The SNES games legitimately aged better than N64 games did. And there isn't anything that OoT did that TP didn't do better, particularly the WiiU version. Framerate, bow aiming, characters, designs, camera controls, all superior.

All of these supposedly controversial opinions being the normiest of normie opinions says all about this board really
Okami is highly comparable to Starfox Adventures. Good music, visually pleasing, impossible to lose combat, mindless puzzles. Like Starfox Adventures, Okami is a mediocre game at best, kept afloat by it's better elements. The options music in Sonic Spinball sounds great, extremely Genesis. I'm not talking about the fixed version people point to on youtube, I mean the real thing. If Returns and Tropical Freeze had used original characters in an original setting, nobody would ever say 'this feels I'm playing a Donkey Kong Country game'. They're good games in themselves but only superficially like the series they are supposedly continuing. The Wonderful 101 holds the essence greatness trapped screaming inside of a bad game. What could be an excellent experience is destroyed by endless mini-games and gimmick sections you didn't sign up for and don't want to play, all taken into account for your ranking. It's like the motorbike and fantasy zone segments of Bayonetta spread out across 80% of the game. This is widely agreed upon but my unpopular opinion here is that this does indeed mean Wonderful 101 is a BAD game, not a great game with some problems (like Bayonetta). You have to take it for what it is, not what you wish it was.
>>725972668The more popular a game is the less I'm interested in it.The mainstream audience has utterly dogshit fucking taste. Whenever a game series I like blows up I stop buying the games because they're just not really the same series anymore.

>>726043686>You have to take it for what it is, not what you wish it was.What I wish it was is exactly what it is. A Kamiya game with all of the trappings associated with him.

Most of you incels are genuinely unfuckable and are unwilling to better yourselves. You disgust me.
Its not nostalgia. Games really where much better in the past, largely because you had variety, you could have silly games sitting alongside the more serious or violent ones, and not a single person gave a shit about the race or gender of the main characters.
>>726044702>not a single person gave a shit about the race or gender of the main characters.Not true. People gave a lot of shit at Rockstar for making a black MC for GTA San Andreas. It all turned around when they played the game though.

>>726043993What are you playing these days?
>>726043686>Okami is highly comparable to Starfox Adventures. Good music, visually pleasing, impossible to lose combat, mindless puzzles. Like Starfox Adventures, Okami is a mediocre game at best, kept afloat by it's better elements. Okami wasn't a railshooter, nor was it purposefully shafted into being a Zelda game specifically so that it would have no unique characteristics. I get what you mean though, tired of game being carried by everything else but the actual game.
>>725986516MegamanX is a masterpiece of the platformer genre. You can like classic over X but you can't say one is better than the other. This only applies to MegamanX, the rest of the series is a hit and miss. Except 7 which is all trash

>>725972668OoT, Halo and FFX suck. This isn't a "looking at them now" opinion, this is as someone who grew up in the 90s and thought they were shit for casuals when they came out.
>>726044908It would be shitty like 10-15 years ago. Nowadays there's no difference between f2p and premium games. They all have battlepasses you have to buy and sometimes even boosters.The only difference is which IPs can afford to rob its customers of both access to the game and cosmetics.
>>726046707Phasmophobia is rather popular with normalfag audiences but it's a thing of its own so you can count it as exception.
Chrono Trigger is an absolute piece of dogshit. The fact that the best jrpg of all time, chrono cross, is associated with it makes me seethe to this very day.
>>726011582Hard as in hard but fair. NES era bullshit doesnt count.
>>726011582if you remove the idea that these games are hard then you also remove the logistical implication that it is impressive or indicative of skill. this is why souls fans get so far up their ass, the entire reputation of difficulty surrounding these games is effectively a self-fulfilling psyop that always loops. if anything I find the losers who complain about getting filtered more respectable because they're at least honest. throw a game like alien soldier or even the most rudimentary gen-3 shooters at one of these souls fanatic guys and they'll never shut the FUCK up about how unfair it is, artificial difficulty, etc.it's also very telling and comical when analysis of these games' difficulty boils down to "..you unlearn your mistakes.. react faster.. AND GET BETTER..." like, oh I don't know, most fucking video games out there? it's just gay
>>725972668Gaming went to shit with american culture war shit in 2012 and hasn't recovered.Now it's too late since a new generation thinks this is normal and doesn't know what we had.
>>725972668E33 is the best story I've played in a video game. KCD2 is a 9/10 game with a few blemishes that don't ruin the game. BG3 is made for faggots and grifting faggots love praising that game despite every character wanting to stick it up your ass.
>>725977963>Fire Emblem as a Warcraft 3 style game where every unit is Blademaster, and everyone dies in 1-5 hits and death is permanent.>Heroes of Might and Magic where entering a battle opens a real-time battle window while the rest of the game also keeps playing in real-time. Keeping your opponent's main hero locked in pointless battles where you keep running away with a single micromanaged flier becomes the defining feature of a highly-skilled player.>Into the Breach where positioning, tactics, math and planning are fully replaced by your general vibes of the situation.>Sengoku Rance with 10 different fights happening at the same time with ultra-extreme micromanagement of the world map and battles actions across a dozen different tabs. Oh and the story and h-scenes will just play in a little side window I guess, because this game's not slowing down for anything!
If you enjoy turn based combat (interesting exceptions and twists aside), you seriously need to evaluate what you are actually playing. Turn based combat is essentially asking you a question, and you give it the most efficient answer. If one of the encounters on the encounter table in an area is four ice golems, and the least resource consuming answer is defend/defend/fire strike/defend, which kills all the ice trolls, that question has been answered. That's it. There's nothing left to do, no thought required, no skill or expression involved (unless you want to express yourself by being less efficient for some reason). There's no chance of something going wrong, and nothing you can do to make it go faster. It's just a question you already know the answer to being asked of you continously, and you have to keep answering it, because otherwise you won't gain EXP.
>>726048075>Goes apopleptic at the thought of a game that has a gay romance optionHow are you this fragile?
>>725972668videogames is for children
>>726048265No, that's KCD2. BG3 is nothing but fags going "hey player, want my dick now?" that Vampire can't open his mouth without doing a gay "mmmmhhhmmm"
>>726047791There's nothing "hard but fair" about Dark Souls. It's very simple and straightforward; action then reaction/wait then punish. Like all action games. I don't know what it is about these games that deluded people into thinking they were either incredibly bad or incredibly based for failing or succeeding at fighting some stupid boss. Maybe it's the sluggishness of all the attack animations.What's funny is games that actually test the average gamer's aforementioned reaction and patience skills hardly ever achieve the same reputation as a souls game in difficulty despite being actually much harder both by design and average experience. That is, of course, unless the game in question is riding FromSoft coattails and is specifically aimed at their fans. See Nioh, its hate from souls fans and similarly inflated talks of difficulty vs its precursor in the Ninja Gaiden games which is on par if not far harder, yet Nioh is the one that gets singled out.
>>726001908>Darkest DungeonBased. You realize how genius it is when you're at the end of a mission and have the choice of either dumping your food or leaving behind that 1250 gold gem. Then you dump the food, get the food check and you're like "Ah, I fucking get it".
>>725972807Miyazaki has made the same game but bigger 5 times. Almost 6-7 given how big the Bloodborne and Elden Ring DLCs are. He's clearly happy to keep making that game. Shovelware that the studio dumped in bargain bins in the early 2000s are irrelevant. No one cares about Eternal Ring or the Adventures of Cookie and Cream
>>726047563Tell me what's good about Chrono Cross without spoilers

>>726012849Dating sim elements = shit romance. It's factual.The only good romances in vidya (and there are so so few) are ones that are set in stone.
>>725972668Dead Space 3 is good enough to proudly sit alongside the first 2 as part of a whole trilogy. It has issues but the gameplay is good and it shouldn't be skipped.
>>726025412>Comes into thread about bad opinions>Posts the most basic bitch opinionsResetera is thataway.
>>726048892Every fad passes eventually.What people like about Souls games will be considered boring and old one day. Probably by the time Gen Alpha become adults. But they're always going to be classics.
I play old games with HD mods and reshade
>>725974228How about instead you get another total conversion mod of botw?
>>725977963Any game where you control a party of characters at once is miserable in real time or RTWP. Turn based is the proper way to play any complex CRPG. Games that are built around it are better than those that aren't. No one likes the combat in Baldurs Gate 1/2 or Arcanum, but Fallout 1/2 or Baldur's Gate 3 have great combat.
>>726043686W101 is one of my favorite games of all time and your opinion is based. I love the game despite the minigames. They're so fucking bad.
>>726049059I only played through the Dead Space series years after 3 and found no real issue with 3, series felt like it lost steam at this point, but I don't get the seethe about 3

>>726025789You are vastly overestimating how popular nuDoom actually is, especially if it wasn't being sold for $5 at all times.>Additionally it ruined shooters by virtue of HEAVILY relying on extreme lock on.Also making it really obvious you don't have much experience with console shooters to actually know what the fuck you're talking about.

Halo Reach has poor characterization and doesn't have anywhere near as memorable characters or scenes as 1-3.2 was the series peak and CE is still the standout for "innovation"

>>725972668Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers is the most fun racing game I've ever played and it beats the living shit out of Mario Kart and all its derivatives.
>>725972668>RDR1 is Rockstar's best game (that they made, MP1 and 2 are the best that they published) by far. RDR2 is simultaneously overloved and overhated. The game GUN, however, is better than both.>Undertale is a faggot game for panty-wearing sissies who would unironically talk about their "hurt feelings" to people they hardly know. It is abysmally put together, incredibly ugly and unoriginal, and absolutely teeming with spineless, witless millennial "humor". Its creation and subsequent success has only been a worsening stain on independent video games as a whole, and anyone who appraises it as one of the best games ever is only displaying a stark lack in standards.>LittleBigPlanet is better than any 2D Nintendo platformer, likewise for Modnation Racers vs. Mario Kart.>Any Donkey Kong game is better than any Mario game.>Halo has been mediocre at best since 2. Should have been a one and done game rather than a series.>Daggerfall and Morrowind are the only things of worth that Bethesda has ever, ever produced.>Fallout 1 is the only good Fallout. New Vegas is fine as its own wild west hybridization but it's still a ridiculous impression of what Fallout should be. The Bethesda attempts border on bastardized mockery.>DOOM 3 is the best one.>Dragon Age has never been good and every attempt to make this lazy DND campaign into a franchise has been met with the same deserved apathy.>Monster Hunter World 'solved' the series and found a perfect balance between the old design and bridging it to a more modern experience. Rise immediately cheapened this with gimmicks and Wilds absolutely massacred it in favor of bigger mass market appeal. It will be World that stands the test of time as the last good MH game. Not Rise, not GU, definitely not 4U.>Darkest Dungeon is a terribly designed timewaste of a game. At first glance everything is great, especially stylistically. However the sheer bloat tacked on to every facet of this game only detracts from potential quality.

Silent Hill 2 remake is better than the original.
>>725986515This but unironically and without the whole "I hate women". The problem however are not the women themselves but this whole idea that men shouldn't have a space for them only while women have plenty of those because it's opressive toxic masculinity or something.Reminds of me random video on jewtube I once stumbled upon where a bunch of lads in bongland started a woodworking club for men, it quickly got popular and more and more clubs opened across the country. Then women started complaining how it's misogynistic that they're not allowed. Organizers were forced to invite women as well and then the whole thing died because1. Women didn't want to do the cool shit but only chat.2. The whole premise of it was being a place for men to be men and not care about chivalry or manners.I love women but women have to aknowledge that men need their own space and stop bothering them.
>>726051548>I love women butpersonally i hate them
>>726050927I have the opposite opinion that every single press X to drift game is unplayable garbage. It's not that hard to make actually slidey arcade physics where you actually steer so I don't know why this weird on rails shit became the genre standard.
>>726052096RR drifting actually handles closer to IRL Kart drifting than most racing games because of the way the curve rapidly gets narrower the longer you drift. It's one of the least "on rails" racing games I've ever played.
>>726025993This is honestly a great premise. I think the combat as it is is fine but everything else about your post sounds great
Bloodborne > Elden Ring > DS2 > DeS > DS1 > Sekiro > DS3Armored Core has always been mediocre. Chromehounds was better.King's Field IV and Tenchu are From's greatest achievements.Killer Instinct 1997 and 2013 are the only good western-made fighting games in existence.Shenmue is shockingly bad and that any millennial moron can look back on these games as if they're groundbreaking is beyond me. Terrible story with terribly performed "characters", abhorrently slow and boring "gameplay", bland music, even blander aesthetic. Terrible games all around.Sleeping Dogs and Saints Row 1-2 are all better than any GTA except IV. Killzone is better than Halo. Blood Omen 1 is the only good Legacy of Kain game.World of Warcraft is the one and only good MMORPG. All that came before were conceptually messy and never fully realized. Anything after was a bad imitation.Dwarf Fortress is not hard, not complex and not interesting. "wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle" quote is key here. It's just a game with feature creep that will never see any of those individual features made into anything of meaningful quality.A majority of japanese games are even less original and inventive than western ones. This was especially bad from 2005 to 2015.Thief 1 and 2 are the only good stealth games in existence. Splinter Cell comes close but is still too babyfied. Metal Gear is an absolute joke and Kojima is a snake oil salesman, and a hack.Classic Mega Man is better than X. Every other sub-series is just not good, Legends included.Sonic was never good, not a single one.
>>726051548>Organizers were forced to invite women as wellShould have just disbanded instead or become informal.
>>726012531>Outer worlds 1 is an okay gameNo it is not. It is shit.
>>726025412I kind of agree. Kind of. I loved Xenoblade Chronicles X and will die on this hill. But even I admit it’s got a few issues. The story kinda sucks even though the plot sounds incredible on paper. And you have to be legitimately autistic to enjoy the gameplay. It’s genuinely one of the most autistic JRPGs I’ve ever played. Xenoblade Chronicles felt a bit pretentious and up its own ass, and just all around sucks in general. I barely got halfway through it before I dropped that shit. That said, it’s amazing they got that game running on the Wii, and Xenoblade Chronicles X on the Wii U. Monolith deserves an award for that alone. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 isn’t necessarily bad, but it’s extremely overrated. People talk about it like it’s the greatest JRPG ever made, but it’s such an incredibly shallow game. It almost feels like a satire of JRPGs sometimes. I don’t even think that’s a bad thing though, I like how basic and generic Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is. Simple plot, simple setting, simple characters. It’s such an easily digestible game, which is probably why it became so overrated in the first place. it gives the game a comfy “Saturday morning cartoon” vibe.
Other M is about as good as Prime. Which is to say not good at all.

God of War is better than SISSY MAY CRY
NOLF would have worked better as an imsim instead of whatever of hybryd that they tried conjure.TRON 2.0 would have worked better as a Far Cry type of game instead of tradinional shooter.Sleeping Dogs would have worked better as a districts-chapters divided game instead of an open world.LISA the Joyful was unnecessary.There's nothing wrong with Prey's ending but overall the writing was rather bland.Styx games deserve more praise.

Voice acting is limiting and usually detracts from a game more than it adds. Mocap "acting" is indulgent nonsense for the strict purpose of movie-fying games, which is worthless. Give me a story that can be read in-depth and implement it in a way that compliments the game. Otherwise don't even bother with lengthy dialogue. You're not James Joyce, and I will not be impressed.
>>726053707>LISA the Joyful was unnecessary.Completely agree, The Painful was a perfect game and trying to explain things any further kinda ruins the magic
>>726054662>Voice acting is limiting and usually detracts from a game more than it adds.That's true. I think the perfect middle ground is having voiced the very first sentence of the dialogue or characters just saying ramdom phrases related to the world or ongoing events to give a player an idea of how the character supposed to sound.
