Whats your most controversial video game related opinion?
i like edgy games and i want more and edgier ones
i hate edgy games and i want less edgier ones
>>737627967The less women a game has the better it is. The only people who disagree are porn addict trannies who will never get laid.
Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is the best PC game ever made.its not controversial, its just a stone cold fact.
>>737627967I actually enjoy a lot of games /v/ despises and am having fun playing them.
>>737627967Idle games are kino.
>>737627967That indie devs making autistic dogshit in rpgmaker do more for vidya as a medium than AAA devs, journalists, or /v/.
>>737627967I think Nintendo games are great.
>>737627967Fighting games are a wholly worthless genre played primarily by complete fucking losers who never attend events, never play IRL with friends, and have never actually gotten better at their game of choice despite sinking literal years into it. Fighting games can, and should, die out completely.
>>737628236What is Wario showing us?
the gamepad is holding gaming back and needs to be abandoned. EVERY game type has a better control method
>>737628274What fighting games do you play?
One of the best games in the series.
I absolutely do not give a fuck about romance in RPGs and people who do are pathetic.
>>737627967The story is actually important even in FPS games
>>737628127"Super Street Fighter II Turbo" has 1 more woman that "Street Fighter II: The World Warrior" and the former is obviously the better game.
>>737627967There is literally nothing wrong with movie games.
>>737628021>>737628080You guys should have edgy sex
gaming causes autism and destroy your life.
Cyberpunk is the most overrated game ive ever played.Its a 6/10 at best.
>>737628367What's the last locals you attended?
There is no reason to own either a PS5 or Switch 2.
>>737628526>gaming causes autismNo, but it draws in autists.>and destroys your life.Yes.
>>737627967I hate character customization and always choose the default white male lead
>>737628559Answer my question first.
>>737628508sounds like it would take a while
I dont get the hype for GTA VI.Its just another open world third person shooter. Its not like we're in the 2000s anymore when just having an open world was impressive by itself.We have dozens of huge open world games in the market right now and they're all mid as fuck. I dont see why GTA VI will be so amazing and different from them.
I like video game violence and games where brutal violence is the main theme
>>737627967Not even controversial these days but every game should have a luscious sucullent bbc to teach white women about sex
>>737627967metal gear survive was good
>>737628692Normalfags are somehow still enamored by open world games. It's what got zelda breath of the wild to sell several times more than any other entry.
The N64 Zeldas are the most overrated games in history and it's not even close.
There are many games that are effectively beyond criticism not because they are perfect, but because the actual desire, itself, to criticize them reveals that you have a chip on your shoulder.SM64, Sonic 2, OoT, Morrowind, etc. Regardless of how legitimate a criticism of them is, you immediately clock that the person is just being a contrarian.
How controversial this is seems to fluxuate from thread to thread that it comes up in.But I'm part of that group that really wants Persona 6 to be set either in a workplace or college, I'm so unbelievably fucking sick of the Japanese high school setting in general and the writing of the games is so much better when it's not going over stupid shit like what the characters are worried about wearing at the school festival or whatever.
>>737627967AI tooling is good, the typical personality splits between producers and consumers has always resulted in a condescending and contentious relationships between the two classes. When gamers can finally make games for gamers instead of people who hate you begrudgingly designing by corporate committee, the space will improve one hundred fold.Don't @ me unless you've sat behind closed doors with developers talking about their games community. These people fucking hate you -- yes, even the white male developers.
Game should have ended on Act 1.
>>737627967I think modern graphics are actually a boon to the industry and can elevate an experience beyond what older graphics can do... if used correctly and competently. And a decent chunk of modern games DO, in fact, do this.
>>737627967Super Paper Mario is not a good game and it does not have a good story. It does not deserve to be thought of as "the last good Paper Mario." It is worse than TTYD, and worse than TOK.
>>737627967Gaben isn't your friend, 80% of the features of steam are unusable shit
>>737628236Nintendo games are fun but they also feel feel way too solved. When they were still getting their footing into 3D games from N64 to Wii, you had a lot of jank that was really annoying or unintentionally added a lot more depth. Now that they've figured everything out and have less of a crunch on making games, they can perfectly bubble wrap and baby proof everything. No need to worry about getting hurt when daddy Nintendo has you in your knee and shoulder pads, your helmet, and cage for your cock
>>737627967Most people don't actually value gameplay as much as they claim they do and even the most staunch advocate of "gameplay >>> all" would not play a game that went against their sensibilities or if they found the story to be too annoying.
English voice acting is usually better than Jap voice acting.But /v/ is full of weebs that think screaming at the top of your lungs is peak acting ability.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhmLUJXsdAA
>>737627967The transition from 2D to 3D was the worst thing to happen to video games.
I play games on normal difficulty because I’m too tired after work to put in effort
Halo is so blandShit gunplayEverything except the pistol and sniper feels like a nerf gunTerrible indoor level designThe outdoor sections don't last long enough
Microsoft will never become relevant again and will die along with all the IPs it has
witcher 3/ cyberpunk has terrible open world and are just cutscene simulators for moviegame plebsactual open world is literal copy pasted 4-5 enemies , 1 lootable container for the entire open world
>>737628389i saw hobo phoenix in prerelease material and the idea offended me so much I've never played an apollo justice game.I played the original trilogy and then played investigations 1 because i like edgeworth
>>737627967I like both roguelikes and roguelites. I think they’re a great way to explore succinct ideas in fun ways, and I don’t need to get hundreds of hours out of them to find them fun. Or do you mean a take that a /v/irgin thinks “makes normies seethe?” DEMAKES BAD
>>737629623You're focusing too much on the moment to moment gameplay and map design.Halo got popular because of the multiplayer aspect and (what used to be) really cool character designs.
>>737629519>Guilty queer strive>Shit opinion like clockwork
Consoles are objectively good for everyone, even if you have zero interest in what modern Sony/Microsoft are pushing today.PCs are huge worldwide but they do not, on their own, create a consistent enough audience that wants mid to high end games in a variety of genres on their own, and if consoles didn't exist, a lot of genres would essentially no longer exist for mid- to high-end specs, and more games would be made for lowest common denominator hardware like phones and laptops.The existence of consoles creates a larger audience of people playing mid-to-high end games, so even if you absolutely don't give a shit about PlayStation or Xbox these past ten years, their existence has led to more games and more variety of games existing on PC due to a larger shared audience (eg JRPGs which were previously console exclusive, but this applies to other genres too)A significant amount of that audience would not exist without the convenience of consoles, and by extension those games would have less an audience and thus be made less, resulting in less games being on PC.
>>737627967I don't care how long games take to develop.
>>737627967Elden ring and BOTW are objectively bad games
>>737628957i've always felt thisif 100 people in a room can happily discuss the virtues of the game, being that one guy bringing up "i hate how the camera makes a sound every time you turn it" is going to draw a lot of disgusted looks
>>737629780Yeah, I never played the multiplayerDo the gunplay and level design get better in 2 and 3?
>>737628692Flawed logic. GTA isn't "just another open world shooter" in the same way Final Fantasy mainline games aren't just another JRPG. They've got bigger budgets and more going on than most of their competitors and this is usually visible in the end result of the game. Regardless of what you think of GTA and Final Fantasy, it's disingenuous to treat them as "just another example of their genre" when their production value is so impactful.You can of course just not care for that, and that's fine.
>>737628692>We have dozens of huge open world games in the market right now and they're all mid as fuckYou answered why people care about GTA 13 years after GTAV. Nothing was made in that time to compete with it
>>737627967Soulsshit sicks absolute fucking ass. All of them. With the exception of Sekiro.
>>737628957This is a fucking weird take. It depends entirely on the way their criticism is worded.If people are discussing those games and someone just says "I didn't like this aspect of it" then that doesn't mean they have a chip on their shoulder. If they start their complaint with "I hate how everyone praises these games, they suck because..." then yes, sure.
>>737628962College would be more of the same and the games treat jobs as these things you mostly black out for, idk if they'd want to make it a career setting.I want it to open like a typical highschool Persona game for 2 hours of bullshit social life nonsense and a tutorial dungeon crawl only to pull a reverse KH2, kill or otherwise incapacitate the kid we were just controlling, and reveal we actually play as a teacher for the whole game and the only social links we have with students are a couple from the prologue
>>737627967Multiplayer games will never reach their full potential because they aren't gatekept from the teeming thirdie hordes/the insectoid minmaxxers of the far east.If you allow those things in they destroy or warp all, just as they do irl.
>>737628236nothing controversial about liking nitendo games made before 2011
>>737627967AI is unironically good. People call it "slop" because they have bad taste and are trying to compensate for it by virtue-signalling what they think is good taste by complaining about AI, which they've designated as producing low quality end product.The truth is that AI customer support is superior to 90% of customer support employees. AI asset generation is superior to 90% of artists. AI generated dialogue is superior to 90% of writers. AI workflows is more efficient compared to the SOP implemented by 90% of middle managers. The speed of AI logic is superior to 90% of game designers.I can't wait until AI is fully and completely implemented into games like Bannerlord, for example. It'll become an overwhelmingly superior game if AI dictates faction logic, war logic, diplomacy logic, relationship logic, battle tactics, the economy, etc. Rather than some government-sponsored B-tier Turkish company trying to make it work with duct tape and 12 hours of grinding work every day.
>>737628341Sure, bespoke controllers made for a specific games can be neat, but it's also more expensive, and I imagine it'd just result in an arms race like the current VR headsets and controllers. In the end, you'd just loop back around to some set of "standard" controllers.Arcades are the one place where custom-made controllers shine, since they're tailor made for the given cabinet.
>>737629607i sometimes play on difficulties i know i'll struggle with so I can keep repeating the same areas and concepts and master them before the game will let me carry onmakes me nostalgic for when I was a kid and the first level of a platformer or the opening area of an RPG felt like a world to spend hours in
>>737628236This is the coldest take of all time. Easiest company to praise and you said the most general thing imaginable. All this shows is you have a victim complex.
>>737627967OMORI is in the top 3 rpgmaker games, next to LISA and space funeral
Undertale is pretty good actually
>>737627967I guess that Souls games have shitty combat. They've managed to attract a huge fanbase that loves fights in those games even as the combat has gotten worse and has more focus on it.
>>737629862god, yes. halo 1 can be a chore to replay even though I do it all the time.2 is one of my favourite things to replay, and 3 is a step above halo 1... but it overstays it's welcome compared to the first two
>>737629519I think the issue is that /v/ most plays Jap games and from what I understand, dubbing for that is usually pretty funking difficult since you have shit like the devs not letting the actors look at what they're voicing and weird direction. So a number of eng dubs come out sounding jack as fuck.But any Jap game that has a good process for recording lines in other languages will usually get performances that vastly outclass the Jap VAs.
>>737630102The logic of "AI is better than 90% of X" is stupid because in most scenarios you aren't dealing with the bottom 90% of things. You aren't reading the bottom 90% of writers work unless you're really into fanfics for some specific subject or something. It will always be more valuable to read that 10% that is better than something that a machine spat out that is better than mediocre.
>>737630178What about Black Souls I/II?
>>737627967Drakengard 1 is nowhere as bad as people claim it is and I had a moderate amount of fun with it. The flying sections are fun. The gameplay is serviceable enough to justify playing it for Ending E. If you didn't PLAY and beat Ending E you're a retard and not justified to comment on it because it is one of the most LUDONARRATIVELY HARMONIOUS endings of all time. Drakengard 3 is the best Yoko Taro game followed by Replicant 1.22~
The Origami King is a better video game than The Thousand Year Door
>>737627967Women, faggots of every brand, and browns ruin everything, video games especially. They should all go away.
>>737629742The idea is that someone set him up, and he was wrongfully disbarred, and his role is working in the legal system even though he can't be an attorney. It's not amazing, but there's a reason why he dresses like he pulled clothes out of a dumpster.
>>737630047I've seen a lot more of your latter example here than the former, unfortunately
>>737627967I actually don't mind Denuvo.
>>737628957You could easily argue they are all not that good because they were released prior to their respective genres reaching maturity
>>737627967>controversialIn that everyone will disagree?Okay, the next Persona game should take place in Los Angeles and have everyone using vehicle Personas and your daily activities should be based around using a car to get around and the music theme should be synthwave.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oudxfnyUFE
VR is fun, and if you are using proper PCVR you have an absurd amount of really good free unofficial content available to you, some of which is even official unofficial content like Half Life 2 VR. if you limit yourself to what's on sale on a storefront you're going to have a lame time after a few hours.
>>737630270No, I disagree. You want the sheer quantity of dialogue to hold a high standard, which modern game writers are utterly incapable of.As long as the framework within which the AI is unleashed is strong, the AI will do a much better job for 90% of the work 90% of the time.Take a game like Bannerlord, as I used in my previous example. The dialogue with all of the lords is copy & pasted, and depends on certain states. But ultimately, the dialogue is just repeated across all lords, completely independent of culture, faction, etc.What if instead you took all of that information about a lord, say their culture, clan, faction, relationships, status, wealth, army strength, etc etc. You fed all of that into AI, and then the AI generated dialogue depending on all of those variables?The result would be 90% more interesting 90% of the time.This is why AI is vastly superior to what most humans are capable of outputting. I understand and agree that AI displacing human jobs is extremely disruptive, but it's unavoidable.
>>737630312Disagree, but I do think it's better than Super Paper Mario and the other PMs by a mile. Also the soundtrack for OK is the best one on the Switch.TTYD > 64 > OK >>>>>> every other PM is dogshit not worth playinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIALt75JQCYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7e7Kl2OSkc
>>737630370it's been like 20 years, I've since learned that, but I'm an autismal stubborn freak, you see
>>737627967All GTA games suck.
>>737630531i haven't even tried iti just can't bring myself to trust paper mario after SPM was 'ok' and sticker star was an annoying waste of time. and I'm someone that enjoyed star fox command and phantom hourglass/spirit tracks
>>737627967"Exploration" in Sonic games is fucking dogshit.
>>737630513>The result would be 90% more interesting 90% of the time.Does this end up being satisfying though because unless the dialogue has any actual connection to what is happening it's just words words words to tell you the same few things that can happen
>>737628429Bro this take is spouted on every crpg threadPeople are saying it in the kotor thread right nowthis is like the least edgy take of all time
>>737629936>They've got bigger budgets and more going on than most of their competitors and this is usually visible in the end result of the gameyou mean it has a bunch of minigamesthe open world itself is always really shallow, it's pretty with a lot of unique assets but it doesn't add much gameplay-wise
>>737627967Apparently it's controversial now to not care about the story in a game. Too many tourists only play video GAMES for the story and not the gameplay.
>>737629181and your pic is not one of them
>>737627967Im really looking forward to what AI can bring to gaming.
>>737630712>Sonic games are dogshit Couldn't agree more
>>737629936>production valuesHere's my edgy take: past a certain amount the higher the production values the worse the game.Gaming as a whole seems to get worse and worse the more expensive it becomes to make an aaa game.
>>737628552Was at launch but now its a 8/10. Regardless definitely not worth the lost decade from cdprojectred.
>>737630725That's the beauty of AI, it is orders of magnitude better at taking events taking place in the game than whatever humans (nowadays) are capable of hardcoding to the game.Events happening in your playthrough is already generated into an Event Log. Just feed that information into the AI as well, compare that information to the specific Lord in question, calculate what their reaction to those events would be. Examples:>City belonging to your faction was recently taken by the lord you're talking to.>Lord hates you>Lord hates your rulers clan>You engage in dialogue with the lord>The lords personality traits include Valorous and CruelLord be like:>Insults you, berates you and your faction for losing their city to his faction, and tells you if his army is superior to yours that him and his army is preparing to crush you underfootThe example above is obviously dogshit writing but you get the point.
>>737630672This is correct
>>737630840IMO that's a bad take. You can generally dislike what large production values do to a game, but it's impossible to deny the outliers of extremes within their genre are novel. GTA is not a worse game because it has Rockstar money and 10 years of dev time.
Kojima hasn't made anything good since MGS3 and the only exception is MGR because the game went full pants on head retarded for the fun of it and didn't really take itself seriously.
>>737630954>GTA is not a worse game because it has Rockstar money and 10 years of dev time.It absolutely is.
>>737630996I have a related takeMGS games are fun because of the gameplay not the story despite how much kojimbo wanted to focus on the story.
>>737628643Answer my question second.
>>737627967Might be too controversial even for this thread, but whatever. I like Marathon. It's a good game, but not a great one.
>>737630840I dont think thats controversial. Bigger the budget the wider cast they have to throw to recover costs. Every retard thinks Larry Fink is ruining videogames but its these studios pandering to fag obsessed white women and 87 iq countries.
>>737630712>>737630834Sonic and the fast platforming concept in general just doesn't fucking work, 2D or 3D.>Genre is all about going fast>What that actually amounts to is either running through a giant flat land with no obstacles (or if it's Frontiers, it's randomly splattered all over the place with zero aesthetic consistency)>Or you're doing a glorified QTE>Or you just end up smacking into a wall or spikes because you couldn't react to it in 0.1 seconds>Most of the time you just end up awkwardly platforming with shit ass controls and a bunch of "cool skips" that let you ignore 80% of the actual level design>The fun is apparently supposed to be in mastering the levels by playing them over and over for a better score/grade, but unless you're some autist that still gives a fuck about leaderboards in the year of our lord or a 100% nutter, that has zero appealThis is why slower platforming games with levels that you're designed to interact with the more robust movesets will always be better than speed platforming garbage.>inb4 some anon recommends an indie game to prove that the concept isn't trashI've played games like Freedom Planet and Spark the Jester. Those suck ass for the same reasons too.
>DmC: Devil May Cry is still better than most non-DMC action games, including Bayonetta.>Both 3 and 4 are better games than New Vegas.>Chrono Trigger is actually underrated. Not enough JRPGs used its best ideas, especially Cross.>Everything that makes most video games worse absolutely belong in horror games. Chromatic aberration, film grain, clunky controls, bad combat, retarded save systems. Those all make horror games better 90% of the time.>I haven't owned a Sony console since PS3 but I think Microsoft should be more embarrassed by Sony's first party games. They're at least two generations ahead of Microslop games.

ubisoft is legitimately very talented at designing open worlds
>>737631418I have no idea what your talking about. If you are just spouting random words sticker star is by far the winner due to alliteration you soulless fuck!
>>737631274I know people are gonna jump down your throat for having a "le YouTuber opinion" but I couldn't agree more. I got like halfway through Generations before I realized the game is incompatible with itself. Everytime I'm not on rails or going through a loop I'm actively fighting the game with basic inputs and God awful floaty platforming. I dropped it like a fucking bad habit and feel like my soul is finally free from pretending sonic is a good franchise
>>737627967Until rape can be used as a gameplay mechanic, videogames will never progress.
The Plutonia Experiment is completely fair and if you think it's too hard you're a pussy

>>737631539It went wrong, and I cant put my finger on when. Litterally went from greatest thing ever to redundant and I dont know how or when that happened, but it did.
>>737631551The fundamental mistake is thinking sonic is about fastThat's confusing sonic the character with sonic the game series.
>>737627967There's nothing wrong with a game having lots of character customization options.

>>737627967I unironically think DmC is better than DMC4, and I think DMC3 is overrated because of how bad DMC2 was. Fans collectively breathed a sigh of relief when Capcom made a good game after 2, and boosted an 8/10 up to a 9/10 out of hype.
Ico is a really shitty game in an era of great games on a system full of great games. It's the sort of game you'd play on a demo disc but never actually buy or rent. SOTC is arguably a masterpiece and it's strange they went full Ico for TLG.
>>737628341I'm old and I have spent my over 3 decades using controllers. I'm not changing horses now.
>>737631804>the best party members are basedWAOW
>>737631864The shitty ending really soured everyone's opinion on the rest of the game, unfortunately. There's so many good character moments in ME3 that don't get the respect they deserve. And of course the gameplay is way more enjoyable than the previous games, along with the god tier multiplayer mode.Also god damn does /v/ have some rose tinted nostalgia glasses for ME1. That game is so fucking barebones and reuses assets so often it's a wonder to me why it gets held in such high regard, and I'm a massive MEfag. But every time I go back to do another trilogy run I find myself hating ME1 more and more.
>>737629658Lol. MSFT is poised to be one of the biggest players in AI. Even if Linux exists, US corporate structure is too ingrained on Windows, Outlook, and their entire stack. It might (hopefully) fuck off from vidya, but its one of the too big to fails
>>737627967Taking casual games like HoMM3 or TF2 in a serious, competitive manner is retarded cancer.People over estimate how important Nintendo and PS1,2 era consoles were for gaming as a whole. Yet underestimate how destructive and terrible XBOX360 era was for game design.Street Fighter is only really the most popular fighting game in Japan and America. Majority of people see Mortal Kombat and Tekken as the main fight games.
Vice City stories is the best GTA gameSaints Row 3 is more fun than 2
RPG's are not games.
>>737631274Thank you! Ive known this since playing Mario and Sonic at age 4, one was just infinitely better. I always thought that meant I was a tedine but with this post I see my intuitions were correct and Im finally free.
>>737631856There's an extremely slow game called Sonic Blastman. Naming a character sonic doesn't mean the game is about going fast. Sonic games are faster than mario but they're not racing games. They're not time attacks.How do people still think sonic is about going fast after playing the first 3 games when there are multiple sections where you're supposed to slow down, when every stage has secrets and alternate paths with power-ups, when they explicitly put enemies in the way to stop people from just holding right.
>>737632416>Sonic BlastmanBravo Kojima
>>737628134I'll give a (You) for trying man.
>>737631759>game is made for 3 year olds>full of alternate paths and powerups>with a massive timer>but somehow retards still think you're just supposed get to the end super fastI understand thinking this about the 3d games with ranking, but the genesis games? Even after playing cassino night with all the shit in that level you can interact with, you somehow think you're supposed to ignore all that and just run?
>>737627967The first Assassin's Creed is the best one.Elden Ring is dogshit.Of the traditional souls games, DS2 is the best one.
>>737632416>There's an extremely slow game called Sonic Blastmanokay so you're an esl
>>737632416>How do people still think sonic is about going fastBecause that's how all the games are advertised.
The mark of a great real-time combat system is enemy design and encounter design. The amount of people who rate action games based on just what the player character's tools are when it's worthless if the enemies are fodder or spongy/rigid are way too numerous. Some people are in the middle and focus on boss design (which is important but unless your game is a boss rush it can't cover up poor enemies). Not to say an action game that focuses on character options can't be good and fun; Sengoku Basara 4 gives you enough variety in the levels and such varied and fun characters to choose from that you won't run out of novelty for a LONG time.>>737632129I don't know about that first one but I can see the second and that feeds into my point: a decent amount of enemies in 3 are just kind of bad but Dante feels incredible to control so people gave it a pass (that said people shouldn't shit on Dullahans, those are great enemies actually).
>>737632129>DmC is better than DMC4Doesn't make sense cause donte is worse gameplay-wise than even DMC4 nero. The enemy design is also worse.

>>737631274What bothers me most about 3D Sonic games is the trails of rings that my twitchy thumbs can never collect. I played Sonic Adventure and Heroes as a kid, and I had the same problem in both games. When I learned Sonic Frontiers was open world, I immediately thought "fuck that".
>>737627967I think fortnite is the best battle royale.

>>737629000I don't disagree on the opinion as far as creating games is concerned, and tbf most of the ai sentiment here, whether pro or anti, is just regurgitated brainwash, but the larger issue still persists - it's a short term (few years) gain for long term (decade+) loss. Yes, let's use AI tools today, oh no, we're losing our jobs tomorrow. The heavy push into AI is done by corporations who see a way to cut staff costs. At the moment the models aren't that good to do the job entirely independent from human supervision; once they are and everyone can just prompt for their ideal game to be created, the gaming scene will become even more of a flood of brainrot slop. Steam will be no different than tiktok, fotm will become fotd, so on.White male devs can hate me all they want, these patterns repeating in other types of media aren't one-off
>>737632195I finally played the series when it came to playstation. I was disappointed. 8/10 but not the 10/10 flagship my frat bros had been raving about for decades. Except 3's DLC. That was 11/10 pure kino.1 was a Bethesda game. I get it, shit story but nice and simple with beautiful fields. It was comfy in its simplicity. 2 I liked the best as it was the tightest with mission based objectives. 3 was the worst, ill never forgive that end, and I was disapointed how little my choices mattered. Again the DLC was amazing though. I also did a permadeath blinde run so half my characters were dead by 3. Maybe having Garreth? Would have changed everything.
>>737627967i wish people would do this to me when im being edgy
Airboat and buggy are the best parts of HL2.
>>737627967I do not give a shit about "freedom" in games. It's a spook, it's always relative. When someone complains about a lack of freedom, 99% of the time, they're just complaining that something they saw framed as a choice in some other game wasn't treated as such here.
I honestly don't think this is an edgy opinion but on /v/ it seems to be so here goes:Shit like sales and views and player counts or whatever don't matter one single bit when you realize that what's sourcing all those numbers are the unwashed masses of normalfag goycattle. Who the fuck cares how much money or views the mainstream sheeple give to consoom? They have no brains and are NPCs who just buy play and watch what the ecelebs tell them too as they doomscroll social media.Fuck them and fuck you /v/ for always putting so much emphasis on sales or views or player counts or shit.Here's my hot take truth nuke:If you care about any of those metrics you are also just as goycattle as the rest of them and FUCK. YOU.

A ton of singleplayer games are seriously hurt by not playing them while they're still new and hot.
>>737632857There's a reason cod and fortnite are popular. Why? Because they have tight second to none shootan mechanics but the perpetual contrarians living here aren't ever going to admit that
>>737627967im better at videogames than 99.999% of anons on /v/
>>737632960Melee is the most unbalanced but the relative size of the characters and maps makes for stupid, untantimounts of fun. Brawl is fine but the characters move too fast while hurt boxes and characters are too small so it becomes a game of reflexes. no cap, I never played a smash after brawl
>>737633428That's totally cool but you didn't beat the game and don't pretend you did just because you disagree with the checkpoints and took it into your own hands
>>737633252Do you know what post modernism means? Unless you have something numerical to reference (it can be anything, it just has to be measurable) its just two filthy hippies staring at eachother going "that's like your opinion man".

>>737633456>landlordooooh so that's why people say "it's not my problem"because you don't own your own houses so someone else has to fix the plumbing. If something bad happens to the plumbing in my house, I'm the one that has to fix it, so of course to me it would make no sense to do self-destructive actions like that.
>>737633750Have you tried playing the game without forcing yourself to go fast at all times?
>>737633757If you rent you will be financially responsible for clogging the fucking drains with fat and oil. Regardless who sends the fucking plumber.
>>737633757It doesn't even harm your house, it fucks the city sewer lines with fatbergs that cost 2 million to clear. Its why Russian troll farms keep this tired meme alive.
i think fsr4.1 looks better than dlss4.5, especially if its a dark game and has fast motion.

>>737632129DMC3 does a lot of things best. It's possible to like 5 more because it has prettier graphics or something, but DMC3 is at least a contender for best in the series.
I always loved the piss and shit filter of games from that era.

>>737630501VR is fun, I think the hardware is still just too clunky and expensive to offer seamless experience to the masses. The majority of mainstream devices are still stuck at 110 horizontal fov or below. A vr game would have to be damn good for me to put up with looking at it through a pair of toilet paper cores for the same amount of hours I'd spend in front of a screen, comfortably in my chair.
>>737633460People here only play singleplayer and autismo games. I dont think anyone on here would admit to playing any of the current multiplayer games
While Alex turning evil was dumb as fuck, Prototype 2 is overall better than Prototype 1 and Heller is a better protagonist than Alex was.
Voice acting is a crutch, a way to engage modern day audience with celebrity you know. A story can be just as engaging if it's text only.

The TCG landscape is missing an actual online game where you can trade, buy and sell cards. I wish Artifact wasn't such a convoluted mess of gameplay mechanics, now because it flopped so fucking hard nobody's going to try and make a marketplace for a card game anymore.
>>737627967I sincerely believe that games are more valuable than human lives, including the lives of people who made them.
>>737627967People who hate non silent protagonists are the same type of people who would say snarky marvel quip bullshit. The reason why they hate it because they realize how fucking lame they are.
>>737634065I’ve never been a fan of baby faced asians, the kind that you’d see in kpop and jpop groups. I don’t really understand why but that’s the way I am. EVE is too clean and spotless. With Jill in nuRE, I can at least see her sweaty cleavage and imagine being able to rip off her pants and huff at her swamp ass that hasn’t had a bath in days like samus probably has. I bet she isn’t shaved like EVE probably is. I don’t know, I like dirty grimey girls
>>737627967YIIK is a good game and the mini games weren't bad. I loathed knuckle sandwiches minigames and Athenian rhapsody's minigames though.

>>737633310You'd know if you paid attention to the real world once in a while
>>737634280The problem for me is less about the mechanics and more that soulslike just became the hot new trend for the industry to chase so now every motherfucking company wants to try and get some of that Dark Souls money by releasing their own roly poly shit.It's like extraction shooters right now or when Fortnite was at it's peak and everything had to be a goddamn battle royal game.

>>737634572The worst part is fucks like you will get to enjoy the Singularity just as much as the people like me who are building it.
>>737627967A better 3D game than SM64 had yet to be made, and that was pretty much the first real 3D game. I don't understand how that's possible.

>>737629519The vast majority of people complaining about English VAs while comparing them to JP VAs are specifically comparing dubs of Japanese games to the native language. Most of them would likely tell you to play Far Cry 5 in it's native language for similar reasons that they say to play Japanese games in Japanese. You're arguing with a phantom you created.
>>737634863*has
>>737627967Hollow knight and by extent Siklsong are terrible as Metroidvanias, they are more akin to a platformer with "metroidvania" elements, all the games that try to follow their design philosophy will also fail.not bad games but there are better metroidvanias than those games.
>>737632784Everything else is worse, including music and pacing. Especially the latter, which is crucial for making a game... y'know, FUN to play.
>>737634725If thats true than I kneel, and your post makes sence. We were called the cancer for a reason. But uhhh, its been two decades now... think you would have adjusted by now. Though I guess its been a decade and Im still complaining about gamergate faggots.
>>737634894What does that have to do with the quality of the games? I wasn't arguing about sales or even suggesting making a new one, I was talking about how good they are.
>>737634918I think the problem with Japanese games is that they get the cheapest English VAs imanginable and then give them bad voice direction on top of that. You can get good English dubs though (Kingdom Hearts and MGS arguably being the gold standards).
>>737635013No, silksong was a bad game.
>>737635053>all the less important shit is worstso dmc4 is betterNo amount of good pacing will make donte fun to play tho
>>737635112I like it when dubs are so bad they loop around to being memorable. https://youtu.be/rFA08BJUtPo?si=c06i_cP9vmIlnQNM
>>737635059I don't adjustI get angry
Most people haven't played an actually bad game and most of the games people have called bad or horrible was mediocre at best or subpar.
>>737627967The last good Nintendo console was the SNES. And it was almost perfect, a lot of good obscure games and the ones that only released in Japan Earthbound and Mother 3 are genuinely very good, even if faggots and normalfags are the ones who praise them nowadays
>>737635112Its the writing. Its gotten a lot better but next time you watch snd snime or play a game try it yourself. The lines are impossible for anyone to deliver. Its weird, they read well but they are a lot more simple and cringe than you think if you say them out loud. It makes the fact anime and vidya can be very profound all the more impressive.
>>737635343We're all friends here you know! (Waves hand awkwardly around well saying it)
>>737635394Yeah, specially in /v/. People behave like bitches and act like a game unironically raped them when it wasn't that bad or they just disliked it for a dumb reason
if you aren't play on OLED by choice you're retarded
>>737627967All of the bitching about the use of Unreal Engine 5 is nothing but toolbox fallacy.
>>737627967Dark souls is a bad game. Being mean to your users for the sake of "git gud" doesn't make a good game, even if the content is actually compelling.
>>737627967Regulating video games is a good thing.Most people have a sour taste for regulations because of puritans trying to censor blood and sex in games, that’s understandable. However regulating certain things about games would be good for the industry. Including regulating gameplay and not just predatory transactions. I would in fact support laws that ban Matchmaking, or laws that require games with impactful RNG to be adult only games.
>>737627967Wario as a character is great, but the Wario World games actually suck, and everybody is just pretending to enjoy them despite needing a guide of specific steps to reach the best endingsWario Ware games are alright, though

>>737635394I think about this a lot. Nes had 700 games snd people shit all over the top 10 - 20 which is still the top 3%. 3000 games made and anything out of the top 40 of all time is considered trash by most Anons.
>Be so passionate about your jew and incel sperging you get a visit from the FBI>Do nothing but run your mouth and turn it into a felony arrest>Surprisingly, Sheriff Coolname was NOT involvedThat happened and it was pretty funny. The other dude was nothing but polite and he got off.
>>737635754I'd love to know how many of the posters in the threads are pedophiles and how many are just capcom fan gamers and how many bought it for the girl in a wholesome way.
>>737635394Absolutely true. Most people genuinely don’t know what a 1-3/10 game looks like. A game that bad is usually a game that is borderline unplayable, and is something an AVGN-like YouTube channel would review.
It’s better to buy games on their respective platforms than steam to encourage publishers to nuture the game you boughted
>>737635614I think it would be more controversial to say you DIDN’T approve of regulating exploitative business practices. However, censorship is never okay, and that’s the regulation that needs to be avoided.
>>737628692Normalfags are obsessed with simulating the real world
>>737635112For sure but I think that's also a somewhat inherent problem with dubbing unless the devs just have enough money to throw at it. Not only is it usually lower priority but there's less direct connection to the devs, on top of a language barrier, for them to provide good direction. A big part of why MGS' dub stands out is because Kojima's a westaboo that considers it the main language for the series. I haven't played it but I imagine from what it's based on that Kingdom Hearts' English version has a similar priority.
>>737635754The more vocal they are the more they have to hide. I'd like to see what's in Null's closet. I know he has neko shota AT LEAST.
>>737635819The NES is an amazing console, it's incredible the amount of great stuff it has. I liked old AVGN, but it ruined the modern perception of the console>it's an important console that saved the industry, sure, but it also has a lot of garbage. It's not very good
>>737635394On top of that, I think people here are incapable of telling when a game simply isn't for them and not to their taste rather than being outright flawed. I don't like DMC, I could go on about what I don't like about it, but I don't think it's a bad series and I was glad to hear it got a real sequel rather than ending with the reboot.
>>737636136>that Kingdom Hearts' English version has a similar priorityThat’s correct. The rereleases of the games have English as the default language even in Japan. But I also think it’s due to the fact that Disney financing the games meant that we’re able to hire Hollywood A-listers to do the dub. You know it’s a high quality dub when you’ve got Christopher Lee and Leonard Nimoy as part of the cast.
>>737627967QTEs, when used in moderation, can greatly elevate a game, especially as punctuation during a cinematic moment, helping to focus and heighten the player's attention.
>>737627967The only good thing pokemon-related in the past 25 years has been the porn.
We need more sexuality in games. Much more. Culture has turned far too prude, and games are one of the few vectors that are still flexible enough to steer against it.That includes sexuality that doesn't turn you on btw.
>>737627967SOTC is a boring gameKingdom Hearts is just disney FF that isn't worth playingCollect-a-thon games are boring, prime example being BanjoResident Evil 4 is good if you treat it as a spin-offTenkaichi 3 ruined what was good about the prequel and only worth playingDemon Souls is so overrated on this board but everyone en mass would consider the game mid which is correctMega Man X isn't the best MMX game, that goes to 2Sonic Adventure is better than 2 consistentlyVergil is more fun to play with in DMC3 SEMelee is severely overrated when the physics is so skewed which was fixed in Smash4 and UltimateSuper Metroid would've been a 10/10 game if the controls weren't floaty as fuck and allowed me to hold instead of toggle misslesStreet Fighter 3rd Strike would've been better than IV if it actually read my inputs properlyI'm convinced people who put RDR2 in their top 10 lists will never say because of gameplayStreet Fighter 6 is better than 5 idc what anyone saysRemake could've been the best game of all time if it weren't for Mikami making inconvenient segments, worse OST and making 2nd yawn room just a boss room you can't exit through the double doorsPS4 is the most overrated sony console ever made
>>737627967 The soulsborne formula is so stale and repetitive now that the only reason people play is to see the new story and locations. They are now equivalent to walking simulators.
>>737636136Most of it is piss fucking poor directing, not even the vas themselves. Some theatre guys helmed by a good va director is the key. 90% of the time poor voice acting is a result of poor directing, and of course it is, the director is the one who says "good enough" on every terrible take. If a film had bad performances, you'd lay the blame ultimately at the feet of the director.
>>737635013Hollow knight for me just felt like a game that tried to be a metroidvania with some souls like elements and failed to do either of those well.Shit should be right up my alley since I like both of those, but I thought it was super mediocre.
>>737636854Sometimes the director doesn’t have an option though. Each take costs money, and if budgets are tight, sometimes “good enough” is all they can manage. Almost no movie or game would have bad acting if this wasn’t the case.
>>737627967Videos games fucking suck.
>>737636857Hollow Knight's actual gameplay is pretty lukewarm for a large part of its runtime but I appreciated what it became by the end and Silksong builds on it spectacularly. Disregard trannies who act like even the latter Hollow Knight patches were some kind of mistake and the real point of the game was being piss easy.
>Durability systems in games are practically always just a minor hindrance that adds nothing to the overall experience, and only work if the entire game is designed specifically around in-depth crafting and survival mechanics. I can't name a single game without a durability system that made me think it would be improved by the inclusion of a durability system.>basically this >>737635603, I didn't drop Dark Souls because it was hard, I dropped it because the game was deliberately wasting my time just to be a cunt.>Every part of Devil May Cry 3 outside of the boss fights is absolutely miserable. If I were to give the game a rating out of ten, the shitty camera that consistently points away from the enemies would probably subtract five points by itself.
>>737636846The formula was never that good to begin with. There’s retarded design decisions the formula has that people don’t question:>why isn’t there a bonfire right before each boss? Running all the way through level just to get another crack at the boss is tedious and adds nothing to the experience.>why is the game so combat heavy when combat is so barebones and you can’t even do combos?>why don’t enemies and bosses flinch consistently when hit?>why can’t you pause? The game wouldn’t lose anything by having a pause function (as Sekiro proved)This isn’t even getting into the story, which is the same tired “post-apocalyptic fantasy world” every time.
>>737627967Contrarian takes are not inherently wrong, and often times are the right opinions.
>>737635209I love Dark Souls but what fromdrones have done to videogame's discussion since 2010 have been overwhelmingly detrimental, there are games/genres that you can't even discuss because of them.

>>737631848>Super Mario World is on the ugliest, blandest games on the SNES.I envy you, that you've played so few SNES games that you think Super Mario World is anywhere near the bottom of the list. There are tons of worse looking and worse playing games on the SNES. It isn't impressive compared to the much later games on the system, but as the first game to even be released, it did pretty well.
>>737637470In a perfect world this wouldn't be controversial.
>>737637436>pokemon fangames are better than mainline for at least half a decadeNot a controversial opinion among those who don't play Pokemon and is neither a correct one.
>>737627967being able to gather data on what players do in games has fuck over player agency as developers avoid doing choice games because 90% of midwits all do the same thing so they don't see the point in developing for the 2% of us that both play a game more than once and actually will try other play styles other than "good boy"
>>737637627Choice games are a waste of fucking time in the first place, not because players won't use the choices you offer but because ALL GAMES ARE CHOICETHERE ISN'T A GAME IF YOU AREN'T MAKING CHOICESTHE THINGS YOU FAGGOTS CALL "CHOICES" ARE AN INCREDIBLY SPECIFIC PART OF THE PLOTPICKING WHAT GUN YOU HAVE OUT RIGHT NOW IS A CHOICE
>>737629936Final Fantasy hasn't been relevant for years, most of the newer generations have neve even played a final fantasy game. It's pretty telling that the most successful FF games now are just >Hey, remember that PS1 game from when the series was good? We did that again poorly
>>737627967Women do not belong in gaming. Any women who dares to step into this hobby publicly should be lynched. No exceptions.
>>737627967Games should focus more on sparking joy, the developers shouldn't be obsessed around leaving a legacy or being seen as great artists, or pushing some political change to "better" the world in their misguided direction, they should focus on whether the game will spark joy of Timmy (14) who's playing it after dad buys it for him on Christmas after he did good in school. That should be 90% of the game's objective, to spark joy for Timmy, then 10% can be other things. Fun gameplay, possible happy endings, cast of inspirational - shounen-like- characters, and worlds that awaken imagination, if a person plays a Sci-Fi game they should feel like becoming an astronaut, etc. In general less fartsniffing, and more being genuine and working on the project with a full heart and desire to make something that sparks joy.
>>737637737Obviously this is about games where your choices inform the plot and enivronment, not just your ammo count.
>>737637897There is no such thing as a game where your choices can affect the plot to the same extent they affect the gameplay. It is objectively impossible because the plot has to be hand-made, even if shittily, and the consequences of mechanics interacting don't. So the idea of a game where the primary intent is to affect the course of the plot is masturbatory.
>>737637601>Not a controversial opinion among those who don't play PokemonI can't believe /vp/ doesn't play Pokemon.
>>737627967LLMs generating flavoured dialog to talk about the world building of the game or tertiary topics to the quests at hand will revolutionize the RPG industry and will be a major step forward for immersion. You will get to treat the game as a greater historic amusement park and play the tourist, asking bar maids about the local history or exports I stated this to someone the other day and they asked "why would I want to read/listen/converse/play if a human did not write it? What value would it be to me?" And I found this to be a very backwards view of it. Why do people assume every piece of content has a purpose, a "proper" story with a beginning-middle-end structure, or a point to the conclusion? I mean an entire game's narrative, sure, but in an RPG with hundreds of NPCs to talk to? So so many games will have side rooms with random people to talk about random lore tidbits or world building that builds up the environment but lacks relevance to the gameplay or main story. Niggas right now are watching Uma Musume characters dance in a concert or have a cutscene of two of them talking about their favorite lunches or something equivalently frivolous and unimportant, do not tell me nobody will be interested in flavortext.
>>737637601You mean to say the opinion isn't controversial among those who have seen how shit Pokemon actually is these days, right?
>>737627967There is nothing wrong with the music for the reveal trailer for WH40K Space Hulk: Deathwing.

>>737627967Arcades were peak video games, because they focused on attracting attention, providing a fast pacing for enjoyable content, and giving a difficult challenge to overcome. A little adjustment (such as difficulty involving skill challenge rather than just quarter feeding) made some of the best games available.Now it's all just about giving the same repetitive content with the promise of level-ups to gate off progression in an attempt to keep people playing the same content, over and over, hoping for a reward at some future point. It's boring to play, it's boring to complete, and it's just tedium to do anything with them.
>>737637997Not sure if autistic or retardedPossibly bothLet me spell it out for you: In games with choices, people want to influence the outcomes. Choosing a shotgun instead of a machine gun changes nothing about the outcome of a dead pinky, or generally the outcome of the game.The plot may have fewer possible choices, but those choices are far, far more important.
>>737638086The problem with this is that every player will get different answers. Not reasonably similar ones like talking about different exports when asked, completely different. What's the point of all that lore if all of it can change every time you ask? The purpose of asking questions is to HAVE answers, not just to GET answers.
Some of the most fun I've had in games is WEG/porn games. I think they would be taken more seriously if there wasn't such a bias against porn by the elite gatekeepers e.g. credit card companies and most retailers.I'm also now of the thought that plenty of men actually do like romance as a genre, but when it's interactive and more from the POV of a male. I know I do. Popularity of RPG romances prove this too. Almost all romance is so female coded we don't notice that it's so and think the "female gaze" is inherent to genre.
>>737638275My dude still living in 1991
>>737628783This. I'm a self-admitted gooner, but I don't like being treated like a sucker to play your low quality porn game. Give me GOOD stuff by talented people, or fuck off waving Jap titties to get me to buy a triple digit priced figurine.
>>737629509"Too annoying" of a story means it can't be skipped, otherwise I'm mashing the skip button.
>>737627967Why? So you can use them on Twitter to pay for rent?
>>737638279>In games with choices, people want to influence the outcomes.And it is completely up to the developer both what is an outcome you're allowed to influence and likely what you think of as outcomes you "should" be able to affect in the first place. The scope of what you can affect in a story is completely arbitrary, it changes with every game, sometimes within the same game. People who get attached to the story outcome they want, especially before they've learned all the facts about the game and its world, have always confused me.
>>737630996MGR had zero Kojimbo involvement.
RPG mechanics are bad in most games that use them. Modern devs like them because they have addictive qualities (numbers go up) not because they actually make the games better.
>>737638086I find LLM content to be very boring, and what you get out of it looks like the most generic fantasy garbage imagineable. Like, imagine the most generic fantasy novel, not R.A. Salvador but some bargin-bin nobody trying to copy them. That's about the quality of LLM writing. It's just surprising that you look at something like that, and you want your story-focused and narrative-heavy game to be filled with even more of that sort of thing.You bitch about Uma Musume, but at least it gives a consistent concept of what the setting is like.
>>737638518> People who get attached to the story outcome they want, especially before they've learned all the facts about the game and its world, have always confused me.That has nothing to do with choices in gaming, it's just people being disappointed with the creative choices of the developer.
>>737638086>I mean an entire game's narrative, sure, but in an RPG with hundreds of NPCs to talk to? So so many games will have side rooms with random people to talk about random lore tidbits or world building that builds up the environment but lacks relevance to the gameplay or main story.Yeah, but this part is still important. If you want to make the world feel coherent, you need to have a firm hand on what those characters do and say, you need to make sure all of it is fitting for the world in general and their place in it, and then it also has to be interesting in some way for the player, and it has to feel natural.LLMs just aren't up to it yet.
>>737638676>people demanding control over how the story plays out and getting mad that the thing they thought was an option isn't has nothing to do with choices in video gamesAm I misunderstanding you here?
I like the armor system in dos2
>>737638959These people will also be mad if the outcome of a 100% linear story is not to their liking. The choice isn't the problem, the problem is that they don't like where the story went.
>>737628957This. Some people just really love/want to be the contrarian to the super popular/well liked thing.I think normal people can agree there's annoyances with these games, but some people really just want to go hard, at least for clicks or attention. That or just personal autistic reasons beyond me.
>>737630501I want to try vr, but it's an investment in money, games, and space to actually utilize it.
>>737629607I have never seen such a young man
>>737639039Yeah. They're mad about the outcome of the linear story because they have played a slew of games where they could alter the outcome of the story in some superficial way that usually boils down to subverting the intended route of a linear story, and are mad that they can't do the same here.
>>737639230Or maybe they just didn't like what they got, and you're just making up bullshit at this point
Character creators as a concept is extremely troon coded and shouldn't be allowed. Even if you can't play a female letting a fat brown man play as a strong white one is adjacent and still unacceptable.
>>737629862Level design in 2 can be a bit too scenic for some people, as in sitting on gondola rides and shit for longer than seems necessary. I really love it though, I personally feel Halo 2 encapsulates everything that people liked about the Halo franchise
>>737638330A customized player experience. Its not like I would want to make the LLM hallucinate everything, there WILL be lorebooks and persistent facts that are told with the story and that, ironically, will still be man-written, but I am giving the player the agency to talk about it how they want to. How many times have you played a Fallout game and the responses were>thanks for helping me with the monster, I love you, join my crewOr>you were no help whatsoever, and if you commitied suicide I think we'd all be better offAnd you didn't want to say any one of them? Even if the wench will still tell you about the bandits on the top of the hill does it matter if she makes up a story about how that hill got its name if I didn't write such a reason to exist? I suppose I could see the value of that info being uninteresting if you approach it from the perspective of "well everything is being made up adlibbed so why should I care?" ...but in a similar vein this realm doesn't exist to begin with and yet you are immersing yourself into it despite or not mattering to you IRL at all. And again, I do see the validity that the overall experience be on rails and curated, otherwise its a fever dream with gameplay, but the ability to have your words heard, processed, and responded to has been a major hurdle for games like RPGs to overcome in order to immerse the player, and I feel like that sense of "why does it matter?" will be satisfied when the NPCs are responding to their actual words and not some boring dialogue tree. If I'm role playing I want to handle the jobs in my voice, with my ideas, my approach. I can't envision how to make a real world simulation, but I at least think it has the capability (because I understand, anyone who speaks to anyone pro-AI on the internet is rightfully worried about the wrong corners being cut from laziness, not that someone is trying to add dimension or depth to the system) to flip the genre on its head.
Xenoblade 2 is a good game but its cast sucks
>>737627967More violent video games should have rando bystanders. Like ascension or cyberpunk 2077. For costly accidents or postal episodes.
>>737627967on /v/ specifically:Pragmata is a flop that managed to attract less players than Highguard and Marathon
>>737639290>no character creationg>only allowed character is a white man>brownoids still play as a white manwow good job
>>737627967Gta is shit.Yes even the ones before 4, i hate niggers.
Age of empires 3 is far better game, complex, fun and soulful than 2
>>737634301Everytime I hear "Normalfag" it's in the context of an edgelord that doesn't want to be made fun of for being a edgelord.4chan is no longer the cool kids club. Gamergate and the 2016 US election killed that. Accept that fact, or stay in your delusions.
>>737627967>Ori & The Blind Forest sucks>Final Fantasy X sucks>Devil Trigger, Bury the Light, and Subhuman are dogshit songs that have no place in a DMC game
>>737639273Every single game I've ever seen with "story choice" is the same shit, they take a linear story and then let the player slap the idiot ball out of someone's hand at key moments and that's about it. I think this has bred a generation of players with retarded ideas about how story is supposed to work in games, which is the source of a lot of shitty modern critique.
>>737627967Videogames are in the best state they’ve ever been, picrel explains it pretty well. The only retards who will complain about this are failed normalfags and autists who don’t enjoy videogames, and the occasional niche-genre enjoyer. But overall, not enjoying vidya is a skill issue.
>>737639494you sound offended
>>737630102You've never actually been competent a day in your life have you
>>737639584Then why has game design stagnated
>>737631997Wtf? Go back to /out/
>>737627967I actually really like nu-Marathon at the core. It just needs more content
MGS2 is not good. Raiden as a character was a mistake.Chrono Cross is a decent game but a dogshit sequel to Chrono TriggerFF 8 is not good.Console exclusive games need to come back.AAA games on their nth sequel need to retire. Remakes / re-releases of older games need to stop.60% of the people currently working in the gaming industry need to be fired. Assassin's Creed isn't good (ill make an exception for arguments toward Black Flag)Clayfighter needs a new release.
>>737638086For all the "LLMS are a boon to game development", the truth is, it's used by devs now to just be lazy, or it's AAA/big corpo wanting to use it to not pay actual humans anymore/deal with unions/be actually fair to employees without acting like cartoon villains.The well has been poisoned, and people will always prefer hand-crafted to AI slop at the end of the day. There's just too many bad actors in AI right now to be comfortable with it as a thing.And if you want to argue, "Well a hand-crafted game can still suck beans", then what's more funnier to the TORTanic crowd? a genuine turd born of hubris and poor management? or a bad game created by the slop bot?
>>737639584It could be much better in the future if stop killing games passes, we normalize games being drm-free and villanize exclusives, and normalize games having modding support and being playable offline, as well as having proper shader caching and no stutters. But beyond that I feel like the industry is so varied and large now that it's basically impossible for everyone to have at least 2-3 games worth playing each year that appeal to their sensibilities.
>>737628341completely agree
>>737628962We already had a game where all but one of your party members were working adults.
>>737639727Because shit is like this color wheel. Unless VR takes the actual next step, it won’t be happening. By now, you’ve figured out what type of color and picture you like, aka videogames, or you turn into a jaded faggot like most people here.Let me tell you a secret: true creativity is not coming up with something new, that is almost always impossible. True creativity is masking the derivative!”
>>737628127shalom, golem!
>>737639592Not offended, I've been here for 10 years. I just think edgelords are shallow. They get off thinking saying "I hate Niggers and Jews" is gonna wow anyone that isn't either a pre-teen that just found this place, or genuine Nazis on /pol/. You reacting that shows you don't like being called out like that. Sorry to break it to you, but you're shallow.
>>737629000>>737632968Both are true. Jobs are being lost today but because execs think AI will run itself or with one guy. They are being retarded and will pay for their retardation.
>>737639768Horseback battle royal on those large maps with solid 343-tier gunplay does sound sweet
>>737627967gacha games are finenot my fault you queers get triggered over visual novels, gameplay, attractive women, and can't control yourselves when you see a store pageI like how much games like NIKKE and Blue Archive cause troons and gays to seethe, though ;)
>>737627967JRPGs are much better when they aren't turn-based.I'd take Dark Souls, Kingdom Hearts 1/2 and the Xenoblade games any day of the week over turn-based slop.The only exception to this is tactical RPGs.
>>737627967RDR2 being complete garbage used to feel controversial, but nowadays, I feel like non-normalfags tend to agree.
>>737628559NTA but Frosty Faustings 2026 and an anime convention tournament last year.
>>737640283Culture war aside, gacha games spark a lot of joy, and you can tell the developers actually love making them and enjoy their craft, they're very basic and honest games that despite microtransactions feel pure compared to most fartsniffing singleplayer titles. Exploring green hills in Genshin or hearing Girls Frontline OST in main menu just sparks joy and makes you happy. There's always new titles to be excited for too, I'm looking forward to Miresi, Kaleidorider, Last Origin, Azur Promilia, Project RX.
If you willingly use matchmaking over the server browser, you're a fake PC gamer.
>>737640283>not my fault you queers get triggered over visual novels, gameplay, attractive women, and can't control yourselves when you see a store page>not my fault bad thing is causing bad to othersNigger mindset. I don't want to do heroine, but I don't think its selfish that I desire my society also not be plagued with heroin addiction. They are an insult to players and genuine offline permanent versions of these games could be made where you always keep whatever you won or pull in the game and it's never taken from you. It promotes "you will own nothing" culture and paves the way for other facets of the world (other game developers, entertainment like streaming services or cinemas) to enshitify and commit more to anti-consumer practices, and I won't stand for it.
>>737627967being a casual is the only good way to play games.
>>737627967Bethesda understands the appeal of the Fallout world better than the original creators.Also, Fallout 3 and 4 are good games.
>>737627967Every Mario Kart before Wii isn't that good. Wii is okay.
>>737627967I think games should have more gore, something about shooting an enemy point blank with a shotgun and a small jpeg of blood appearing before vanishing is retardedSame goes with swords by slicing and dicing

>>737640796Gee, sorry I actually have personality beyond "I say nigger and I didn't puke watching a rekt video".
>>737640597I already keep everything I win/pull. I'd prefer they be offline too but people who don't know what a gacha actually is should shut the fuck up.

>>737640925Good thing we both know what we're talking about, then. >I already keep everything I win/pullHow do you do that when the game is shut down at EoS?
>>737627967I think that AI is great for games because it's killing the industry and it needs a hard reset asap
>>737640620That highly depends on what games, but I get where you're going with this.
>>737634837The blue pull is so deep down your throat, you'd never get it out
>>737640597I think that deep down people who don't think like you are just crabs in a bucket. They see people who fucked up in life struggling with addictions and their actual thoughts on this are>what a loser, more for me though
>>737641192lmao, that's common sense.
>>737628962I know this is super late in the thread, so I might just make a thread about this later, but now that I've been exposed to this idea so often, I'm slowly realizing that I don't even really know what it is that people in the "I want older!" camp really want out of this. Cause if you stop and think about the dynamic, what is really different between high school, college, and working life here that would make the story better?>RomanceHigh school: Full of a lot of moments that make dramatic tension pretty high and keep you invested in the "Will she won't she" dynamic.Adult life: Most people have been through enough relationships that asking someone out and having sex within the first 3 dates is trivial.>ActivitiesHigh School: Various clubs keep things interesting, letting you experience microcosms of a bunch of different aspects of life.Adult life: You do literally one task until you're too dogshit tired to do anything else, microwave something at home, and sleep. You MAYBE can devote yourself to something on the weekend.>Freedom of MovementHS: Tons of free time to engage with the mystic world on top of everything else.AL: Engaging with the mystic world would likely involve missing work hours, which at best means you are not getting paid for those hours you missed, which will damage your survivability. Fine super short term like a 1-day adventure, but impossible for a year-long journey like Persona.What is it that you think would even be different AND better?

>>737627967I still dont believe Dark Souls 2 fans actually think its better than 1. RE4 remake was amazing. Not as good as the original obviously, but you must hate games if you didnt enjoy RE4rHeretic is better than DoomSakurai and Kojima are have fooled the entire world into thinking they aren't hacks.

>>737639494Fuck you. Get off my site
>>737638240that's one of the biggest issue with 90% of the metroidvanias out the the level design, devs focuses on difficulty rather than exploration and world, Hollow Knight is prime example of this.basically the ones that get it right are ironically (or not) Metroid (Prime 4 not so much) and Castlevania.

Even when it reaches a point where it's indistinguishable it raises the question of why the fuck are you even bothering making a vidya in the first place at that point. The bros can also continue to bitch and whine about consumer pushback but it's gonna be another hard thing to overcome, I'm reminded of that embarrassing mcdonalds christmas ad last year

Even selling or giving away your account when you die is against ToS. Violate the ToS and your account can be banned or terminated. Losing access to all games, achievements, saves, purchases tied to it."It isn't enforced!"...yet. Steam controls both your entire library of licenses and your account. They're already selling your data and metrics. Once a new leader takes over Steam what will you do once they start charging for the service What are you going to do. Leave?

Sports games are fun and some of them are actually pretty complex RPGs if you play things like the franchise mode. They get a lot of unwarranted flak because the differences between yearly releases are negligible. But if you're buying a copy of Madden or NHL every 7-8 years, there's nothing wrong with it whatsoever.

Story-driven games are not worth playing because 99.99999% of video game developers cannot write worth a damn. If your game has 5+ hours of cutscenes and/or walk and talk sections but you write like a middle schooler, I am uninstalling your game immediately.

Tears of the Kingdom is one of the worst Zelda games, both as a Zelda game and as its own thing. BotW was barren but had great potential to be built upon and was cohesive, whereas TotK was just throwing shit at the wall without much regard for whether it actually sticks. It's a rare case of a game being LESS than the sum of its parts, because the moment-to-moment gameplay is fun early on but it's not cohesive at ALL and gets old since you just make use of the same half-dozen abilities throughout the game (and despite there being tons of on-paper possibilities with Ultrahand/Fuse contraptions, in practice you're going to be making the same handful or two of contraptions/workarounds with little deviation).Also, BotW and TotK are not remotely fucking Zelda-1 likes. Insisting otherwise is just telling people to not believe their lying eyes.
>>737627967golden box games were good

>>737646364>no uThe most clever point there is
>>737637328I can at least answer the pause button, which is entirely because of invasions and their unwillingness to code some sort of buffer or queue timer for people that pause and walk away. Yes, it's completely possible to make it so pausing doesn't work when invaded, but my guess is the developers felt it was to gimmicky or not diegetic enough to implement.
>>737646179I can't completely agree with this, some were truly unplayably awful, but I did have fun with Spelljammer.
>>737627967>Takes the stage.The majority of things gamers claim they want and were things they remember from their childhood that made games better are actually them chasing a feeling that they had back then not actually the mechanics of the game, and that video games have grown up with them, and that they do not realize they are not in high school anymore and cant devote 8 hours a day to a video game. They are demanding that companies produce a feeling and experience that they can no longer have.
>Whats your most controversial video game related opinion?Skill tree choices are like incest in Western Erotic Games. They seem to appeal to a small number of RPG buildfags, while not offending too many people interested in the genre, so developers love to add "pick the obviously OP choice or a mildly interesting, but very situationally useful choice" for skill trees, where you have to choose between two different perks each level up or something like that.It's just an incredibly boring, uncreative practice, which doesn't feel very fulfilling. Like why can't a horsemaster get +15 horse charge bonus AND slightly better horse riding control? Why not give both of these things to the player? Especially when you can just switch between them. What's the point? Do it for some skills, maybe that's interesting, but not every single skill in existence.
>>737627967Probably the fact that Digimon Story Timestranger sucked dick. I have no idea why so many people think it's such a good game. The only good thing it has is the graphics, everything else sucks. Difficulty is non-existent after the first 3 bosses and the story is lame and they repeat the same areas lazily and there's obvious cut content and don't get me starter on the sidequest spam. The card minigame is also fucking dogshit. Yet everywhere I go, most people praise the game and love it. Like it's 7/10 at absolute best and that's being generous.
"Only gameplay matters" retards are wrong and always have beenI actually prefer wretched Californian goyslop to pornobrain goonerbait that brownskins on this website somehow try to champion as better than Western AAA. At least the goyslop can sometimes be pretty good on accident. Goonerbait is never good.

If you care about your work as a modder you should host your work on publicly available archived websites and let other people freely fork or use your work for other projects. Discord is not a repo. The biggest obstacle to most larger mod projects is that people can’t just take tornadodude97s rock textures without having to ask permission first or it will cause a drama shitstorm about “stealing”, so everyone has to duplicate a ton of work that has already bin dun befo. Some of the most important software on the planet is free and open source and yet these fucking modders are anal over their pots and pans models. Anyone doing this sucks and it seems like it’s the majority these days.
>>737647117That is literally it.
>>737649068Well as they say on the 4chins, I accept your concession.
>>737649275>this nigger has been waiting 45 minutes for a (You).In all seriousness, your bait sucks and is not worth engaging.
Games have existed for thousands of years, and consist of sinple gameplay loops. Short term games like shooters, mobas, roguelikes, and card games are what games should be. Story "games" are just movies with user input. Not games.
>>737628692it's all younger zoomers and alphas who grew up on gtav and are losing their fucking mind waiting 14 years for a new game
>>737627967Even the worst mainline Pokémon game is more fun than any of the so-called "Pokémon killers".
>>737649382You sound desperate, why don't you explain what your point actually is instead of holding up this wounded dog act?

Gaming is better than ever
You are a bad person if you skip cutscenes. No exceptions.
>>737649759The point was that shooters in general aren't the problem. The cultures have shifted from then to now. AFPS in the 90s to extractions shooters now. The fact that you couldn't see that from the original post and had to point it out tells me you are midwit af. >inb4 why didn't you say anythingBecause it's funny to watch midwits act smug and smarmy.>holding up this wounded dog act?Nice edgelord anime line, faggot.
The best Ratchet and Clank game is A Crack in Time.
matchmaking killed online video games
>>737650068It's funny how you use that many words to say something that doesn't really amount to anything, what did you actually say here? I can't tell. If you want my fellow "midwits" to know then you better explain it better. Try not to go all metaphysical on us, our brains can't handle it.
The Empire is the best for Skyrim, the Stormcloaks won't be able to get any good will from the outlying provinces and the Empire and Dominion are going to war with each other again anyways, it's inevitable, so if you shore up the Empire's hold in the province you give them enough of a boost to potentially defeat the Dominion and start reclaiming the other provinces and reabsorbing them.
>>737627967If you don't care about the diegetic reason for getting to the end of an adventure game, then it is not a great game, even if all other aspects are top-notch. The opposite of Carmack's comparison of game storiees to porn stories, basically.
>>737650531>anon admits he still cannot understand and plays it off as ironicAgain, I gave you pity (You)s for entertainment and played vidya in between. Have (You) been shitposting this entire time in other threads?
>>737650716Interesting way to try and play off the fact that shooters has been degrading our hobby for decades, ball and gun gamers everyone.
>>737649717the aestetic of pokemon carries the experience so hard. Tons of pokemon killers are better jrpgs, but the music, sfx, and world of pokemon make it more engaging by default. Thats not even counting pokemon designs, even the shit new pokemon are still more memorable than any temtem or palworld monsters
Bobby Kotick was a good CEO.
>>737651592How's life in Tel Aviv, Jeffrey?
>>737649046This, though it really mostly affects older sandbox games like Skyrim, it is also a more widespread problem because everyone is afraid of the stealing work problem. Someone's little custom texture really isn't a big work of art that belongs in a museum, its just a nicer rock texture. Work went into it, yes, so I can see wanting to still be credited at least but there shouldn't be such a problem with building and using others' mods to make new ones or to make unified packs.
>>737627967Women should not be sexualized in video games because it detracts from the gameplay
>>737642595>AI is good for concept workI'm convinced a lot of the anti-AI stuff is just groundwork for more culture-wars media nonsense down the road because there's a lot of sensible use of AI and everyone with more than a single braincell understands that what people dislike is low quality end results, not that work was done with AI or whatever other automation.
>>737652562I wonder how much is the Russian and Chinese shills thst litter this place just try to garner more division. Especially against somthing that could put them at such a disadvantage.
>>737639971People who complain about it haven't played that game
>>737634301Your pic and what you complain about has more to do with media companies and political factions taking advantage of the mass adoption of the internet than the mass adoption of the internet itself.Sometimes an anon will post that the internet is mostly full of jeets and chinks now but the reality is most anons don't interact with them, they have their own corners they stick to in their shitty languages unless they're working as bots.

Marathon is good but most gamers are not good enough for Marathon
>>737641368A lot of it is also just them wanting to revel in a feeling of superiority. The majority of internet culture and discussions in general now are people taking any chance they can get to pat themselves on the back at somebody else's expense and it's especially apparent when it comes to any form of mental problems.
Monster Hunter Rise is undoubtedly the best one, and Wilds is actually better than World.

>>737627967Level scaling in action RPGs is only ever a bandaid fix for shitty stat system and poor game design. There are zero exceptions to this.

>>737629623Genuinely curious what FPS games you like?For me Halo’s art style, atmosphere and overall design gets me in a way no other shooter does.
>>737628236Nintendo hasn't made even one good game since Mario Odyssey and most of their older titles are vastly overrated.

The industry was better when it was primarly men in charge.Women have a place, but it ain't in director roles, especially foe big franchises.>>737651592>Called out Timmy boy for being a hack and not delivering things on time>He was right>Said bungie constantly missed deadlines and was terrible, requiring help from a lot of other activision studios>He was rightYep.
>>737627967A bit late:>Both RE4s are utter dogshit.>OG has awful tank controls that suck to play with no matter how hard you gave yourself Stockholm Syndrome>Remake has some of the worst gunplay imaginable while gimping the player on abilitiesIf i had to choose which is worse I'd say the Remake because Ashley is a fucking utterly uselss cunt that I wanted to blow the head off every time she couldn't keep up. NTM the lack of commands to give her.I genuinely wish that both games had a 3 months period where any thread would be deleted and the OP banned so the 2 camps of spics who argue over them would shut the fuck up already.>inb4 How do you know they're spics?Go to any RE4 OG/Re discussion on YT, Nexus, Reddit, etc and there's always beaners.
>>737653678they have zero things in common lmao are you retarded?
dark souls is a demons souls sidegrade and ds2/3/er are strict downgrades from either
>>737654732Wrong. DeS is jank, DS1 is for babies, 2 and 3 are largely superior, and elden ring is the game they were actually always trying to make

"Making the same thing over and over" isn't an insult if the game/series is THE ONLY game that hits that specific itch
>>737654252Most of them from the 90sDoom, Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, Heretic, StrifeI've never even played a CoD gameOut of all the retro-styled FPS games, I like Cultic, Dusk, and Prodeus the most
>>737627967I want Nintendo games ported to Steam I'd buy most of them
>>737652532I am with you here. I remember when DoA type games were slapped onto Game Informer covers during the Xbox/ps2 era, we all knew boobs were just like the graphics boogeyman to make games look more cutting edge than they really are just to sell and take focus away from a lack of innovative gameplay.
>>737656542i only want star fox, f-zero and metroid. nintendo can keep the rest of their shite. luckily you can emulate them all though.
This is the best PS1 RPG. Nothing else comes close.
>>737632857Rumbleverse was easily the best one and it's in part Epic's fault it died so soon (the other part being the visual design which was admittedly wonky).
>>737628127I sorta agree with this. If the females add nothing but "please we 3D modeled giant tits on this broad please buy our game" then just keep that shit away from meYou gotta be fucked in the head for allowing virtual women to sway you into buying a shitty boring game

>>737656836while I love WA2, and I think the music is GOATed, it has to compete with Xenogears at the end of the day for that title lmfao. And that's without taking into account the normie tier "best psx" games like dq5, ff7, ff9, chrono cross, and FFT.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JfCYgxrQ_M
>>737656542>>737656617I think porting ancient exclusives to other platforms wouldn't hurt the brand at all, if anything it'd do the opposite. It'd basically act as free advertising for the newer entries that are still locked to the latest console.Take Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen for example, Nintendo released these on Switch recently. Would anyone actually give a shit if they dropped them on PC or other consoles too? Not really, people have been emulating and modding these games for ages.But they'd still sell like crazy on other platforms anyway. Nintendo would get millions of extra sales for free, and more importantly they would build even more hype for Winds and Waves. It'd be the same effect Pokemon GO had, when everyone suddenly became a Pokemon fan again.Sony did the exact opposite of this by the way. Instead of tossing old catalog stuff onto PC, they started porting their newest games instead. Sometimes they even ported the latest chapter of story-heavy series without bringing the earlier entries. Like, are people supposed to jump straight into Uncharted 4? Hello? Why not bring the original trilogy first. And then they were surprised it flopped.
>>737643562Here's the thing, move your installs off of the default Steam location. There isn't shit Valve can do to the data you've downloaded now. You now own a copy of that data for the rest of eternity for as long as your hardware keeps working and you back up your shit.>But DRMPirate all your shit then. You own your shit when you can do what you want with it, not because a flimsy loicense said so. And if it's not pirate-able, then you either wait for console emulation for one of the consoles that game was on to git gud, or go cry about it. That said, if a game was genuinely completely unavailable, some autist(s) somewhere will inevitably get that shit running again and now we're back to "You can functionally do what you want with this executable, therefore, you functionally own it."
Overwatch 2 nuking the PvE mode to push vbucks/battlepasses getting memoryholed and even defended because they jingled keys and added some new heroes proves that most gamers really are fucking cattle. That game should be in the fucking dirt for ruining its amazing IP, but nooooo casual faggots always have to give the multi-billion dollar company the benefit of the doubt.TLDR: Do goyim really???
