Give me your shittiest /v/ takes. Don't be shy.
VNs are better than 'real' videogames
Open World games are an outdated concept.
There should be a LOT more furry women in games.
99% of the games that came out before the 6th gen consoles are either so simplistic to the point of being too boring to play, or they're poorly aged dogshit that only gets praised today because of nostalgia.I'd wager that most people who praise shit from that era have never actually played any of those games because finding one that's still a fun experience in our current year is like finding a golden needle in a mountain of bullshit.I find it laughable whenever some anon posts one of their greatest games of all time lists, and it includes shit like Ocarina of Time or Silent Hill 1.
>>737922201only true if you don't like rpgs
>>737922201That's just true, not an opinion.The N64 library fir example is all garbage outside of like 3 games.
>>737921953Fair, but more than an outdated concept it's games that use the open world gimmick when they shouldn't or don't greatly benefit from it.You would think that from technical advancements open or simulated worlds would get richer in content but hasn't really been the case, at least in direct correlation.
>>737922025>>737922201Just look at these fucking retards
You're too old to be playing games all the time - you should be working, raising a family, learning skills and getting real experiences
Japan is dying out. Weeb media is the future and has the potential to be even better.
>>737921805The brown and bloom era of AAA corporate slop is 10x better than the corporate slop we have currently. Indies are also not a replacement for those games.>>737922201Agreed
Randomness is a crutch for lazy uninspired cowards. If you play roguelikes you're a shnook.
90% of your opinion on a video game is affected by factors entirely unrelated to the video game itselfThere is no quality reason why something like megaman succeeded where others failed and I will not be moved by post hoc reasoning

>>737922469>Chinese media is the future and has the potential to be even better.ftfy
>>737922625Declaring that Megaman is bad compared to X game is just inherently a bad argument as I could pick literally any slop released in that era and give direct comparisons as to why X failed compared to Megman, irrespective of even genre as you gave no conditionals for what is or isn't a fair comparison.For example:Yeah buddy, Takeshi's Challenge failed purely because it wasn't megaman.
>>737922952>Declaring that Megaman is badIs as bad, rather.
>>737922951Chinese media isn't even a thing now. When was the last time you played a video game in Mandarin?
>>737922952I said quality reasonI had logical there initially but deleted it because it could be misunderstand as your postAnd then you posted it anyway so whateverNo, it has nothing to do with wrong place or wrong timeI am of the opinion that games almost never succeed based on their qualityI have had magnitudes more fun playing what can be uncharitably called slop than highly reviewed games of their same eraI have never played megaman

>>737922201Trvke
>>737923219I think you're wrong that "quality" doesn't matter if a game succeeds or not, as games have base level requirements that must be met in order for them to even have a chance of succeeding. Then again, these values are so low that virtually anything can be a success, and a game really only has to be "good" in a single category for it to be successful (see most streamer slop for example).
>>737921805Half Life killed the FPS genre. Ever since it was released shooters became more focused on realism and narrative than actual fun. Why care about actual gameplay and fun when REALISM and narrative matters more Halo deserves more respect because it at least TRIED to retain OG FPS roots similar to Unreal. In fact, Doom 3 and Half Life 2 solidified how much the genre had fallen off with only UT 2004 retaining the last bit of the past.

>>737922201I've tried to feel nostalgia and gone back to old games a ton of times and they have never held up. The closest I got to a good game was Daggerfall with a lot of mods. It was just OK. 5/10.I could see that kind of game being very, very good if done well but no one makes gigantic fuck off maps like that. Even with a big map like that it would need a complex economy simulation with nations rising and falling all on their own with you just as a player. It would be kind of like Europa Universalis happening around you while playing a first person RPG in a high fantasy setting.
Cyberpunk was never properly fixed nor was it even that good.They just slapped on multiple bandaids on a very mediocre product to iron out the most glaring bugs and called it a day. They didn't even bother doing basic stuff like fixing the extremely stiff NPC walk animations that are so bad they're basically immersion breaking.It's the graphics that do all of the heavy lifting and the cyberpunk concept itself elevating the game far beyond what it is, along with the Edgerunners anime giving it a big second wind.
>>737922625>>737923219You don't even have a single proposed mechanism for what you think is happening. You just restate that you like slop more than classics. Someone who's base claim is "the classics are remembered because they're objectively good" is at least making a claim. You allude to something other than arbitrariness but you don't nail down at all what it is, so you say nothing.
>>737923767>>737922201I'm wasn't saying that there are zero good games of that era, it's just that you have to sift through literally thousands of shit nuggets before you can uncover the handful of games that's didn't age like milk.
In terms of arcade cabinets/games, Pinball will ALWAYS be the most superior form of them every single time.>dosent require online regionlock bullshit (even newer machines with online capabilities will still let you play the full game regardless)>machines are all fully handmade>even through VPX it will still never replicate the feeling of a real machine>extensive modding communities that are accepted with open arms by the companies involved and often bring homebrewers in>survived every crash under the sun and is currently in its second golden age with more companies involved than ever (Stern,Jersey Jack, American, Chicago, Spooky, and more along with homebrewers)Rhythmvirgins couldn't even

>>7379218052D Mario is solved. there's nothing they can do to make it innovative without it being gimmicky or style over substance. 2D Mario has been getting mogged since the SNES, and Nintendo should just focus on evolving 3D Mario instead.
>>737921805Going to translation group sites and downloading and playing patches for obscure as jp only games is the only enjoyment I feel for games nowadays.

>>737922201Holy fucking zoomer
>>737924391Thats nearly all arcade games though (especially the really old ones), while pinball does need more hands on repair usually, even much older machines have resources and extensive tutorials available. If you are wanting to own any arcade, repairs will need to happen, thats a nothing point
>>737921805
Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth killed the entire Final Fantasy franchise.This was Square's opportunity to show an entire new generation of people just how good Final Fantasy can be, and instead they made some generic dogshit open world action games, no better than a dozen other western examples. It's pure, concentrated brand poison.
imbalance makes games feel organic. perfectly balanced games can never be truly immersive.
>>737924679This is similar to a hypothesis I'm working on, that the more "pure" a game genre is, the worse it is as a video game.Fighting Games, for example, are fucking awful if they are perfectly balanced and entirely skill-based. You need a bit of bullshit randomness in order for the game to have wide appeal. This is why Smash Bros games are excellent as video games, but terrible as fighting games.Same applies to Extraction Shooters. A perfectly designed extraction shooter is completely fucking miserable to play. The genre needs to make "casualized" concessions in order to retain players.This works for almost any genre. Skill-based-platformers are another example. You'll sometimes see people complain "Oh, platformers shouldn't have double jumps, that just lets the player back out of their mistakes", as if that's somehow a bad thing for players to be able to have fun and not have to 100% commit to an action.
>>737924679basically fighting gamespeople bitch about balance every time and how every patch creates new top tiers or whatever but an actual balanced fighting game would just be ryu vs ryu with nothing elseperfectly balanced is actually dogshit and the fun does come from imbalance
>>737924679The idea of perfect balance inevitably leads to a reductive pursuit of homogeneity.
>>737921805TP Zelda is hotter than either form of Midna.
>>737923547>mario kart is unplayable todaywhy? its a racing game. how does a racing game age?
>>737924679I agree somewhat, however i think it boils down to the type of imbalance. Its the same thing when people complain about randomness in games. Its not randomness as a whole, its the type of randomness. I can think of one game that strongly supports this which is Dead by Daylight where everyone is miserable at all times regardless of balance changes
>>737921805Souls combat is too complex for most gamers.
>>737925178The controls and physics are ass.Also an older racing game would be lacking the detail, modes and customization options of more modern games in the genre.
Single player games should rarely, if ever, be over 20 hours long. I've never seen one over that mark that didn't have filler content that could easily be taken out for the better, and the only reason to want dozens of hours of that shit is escapist shit to forget your shitty home life or something. I get no-lifing competitive multiplayer games but single player? Come on now.
>>737921805an MK made by the japs would be cool i think
>>737925232It's an arcade racer the physics are subjective.I think of things like gliding or water sections in modern mario kart as completely pointless gimmicks. I think dynamic tracks and branching paths are the one design thing that's better realized than 64.
>>737921805Arcade games were the gatchaslop of the 80's. Getting you to shell out money at set intervals was a core pillar of their game design. Being good was always, ALWAYS second to that.Nostalgia for that era is Stockholm Syndrome, plain and simple.
>>737922201An impressively shit opinion.
Morrowind fucking sucks, it has aged like milk and I think lesser of people who parade it around of Bethesda's magnum opus>muh world building >muh readingI would rather read a real fucking book
>>737925307I'm not interested in a game unless I can see myself getting at least 200 hours out of it. 20 hours should be the point I'm getting the basics not looking at end credits. Europa Univeralis 4, Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries, Total War games, Cataclysm The Last Generation, Songs of Syx, Mount and Blade, Terra Invicta to name some I'm talking about. I didn't include multiplayer games like Darktide or Nightreign since you said singleplayer.
>>737925626Elaborate
>>737922951Now THIS is a retarded take.
>>737921805Half of the difficulty of those games like DMC, Bayonetta, etc. is just dealing with the most obnoxious Jap camera. I dont know how the fuck did that camera even make it out of the early 2000's it is one of the worst thing I ever saw in gaming.
>>737925431>the physics are subjective.Not really. If they don't feel right, then it's bad, simple as that.You can adjust to shit physics, but they're still shit.
>>737921805Mass Effect 3’s ending was fine
>>737926119Even pre-update?
>>737921805dungeon/level linearity is fine. Theres ultimately very little difference between exploring multiple wings and just going down a hallway
>>737921805Soul Calibur keeps failing because they wont simplify the games and make it more accessible. dunno why every character needs 5 different moves for every single transitional phase and a "just frame" version of it (retarded because online exist). Live service games arent all that bad and actually do have a place esp in some genres. although I wish fighting passes were cheaper I do enjoy how DLC chars increase the longevity of fighting games. if the graphics are okay and you dont have any revolutionary ideas for gameplay whats the point of making a fightan sequel just to drag everyone right back over (SEE: Blazblue->continuim shift). Sex doesnt sell (unless you are in the porn industry obv). titty monsters and generically attractive anime babes might get a head turn but it doesnt keep customers. this is something I wish permahorny /v/ would get. not every game franchise is auto carried by just shoving in hot chicks. gaming would be better if Ranked modes never existed. too many people nowadays have lost the plot turning multiplayer games into their second job instead of a canvas to create fond memories and interactions with others. Valve sucks at making games now. seems like they genuinely dont remember what makes games simple and fun anymore. Japanese culture is over represented. I want more games about Wuxia China settings and silly kung fu. where is my Jade Empire remaster? also for that matter all of the old school local MP games should get remasters for Pier 2 Pier gameplay today. licensing nightmares aside I wanna play those beatemups again
>>737921805Vidya characters should be attractive, yes. Cute girls and all that.But specifically there should be more attractive men. A lot more. Actually I want most of the industry to pander to me by adding cute boys. But not for gays and fujos, they should turn to the camera at random points in the game to say "I am straight and I hate gays", not because I hate gays or fujos but because I don't want characters I find attractive to fuck men.
3D Zelda games suck
Painkiller is boring and tedious
Watching streamers play games is a valid way to experience them since gameplay is only one aspect.
>>737922201This is true, but greater than 99% of games released today are also steaming dogshit so it's not the hot take you think it is.
>>737924440They could make it into movementslop, sisHell honestly there were plenty of good platforming ideas, challenges, sections in Wonder. They still have it in them to make basic run n jump work. And then you have all the creative shit people pumped out using the limited ass toolsets of SMM1 and 2
>>737927365kek
>>737922380Open world games are essentially just interactive versions of taking every level in your game and shoving it into a list.Your mission select list also isn't improved by adding a boatload of Warioware 5 second minigames.Open world is only good at breaking up very dense content when you don't want to put the effort into designing a full game around that content, like a bossrush (Shadow of the Colossus) or a drug fueled loredump (Morrowind).In the modern age open world is used to forestall the game being cancelled due to making no progress, because it is a very cheap way to make a vertical slice of gameplay that convinces the boomer brain that it will take a lot of time to make while promising to expand on that vertical slice very soon, because the "big and expensive" open world is already done even though the open world is the least time consuming part of the equation. This is why Tim Schafer's last game before being booted from big publishers was advertising itself as open world.
>>737922201That's how I feel about most games unless it's something simple that holds up.Donkey Kong GB, Kirby, Tetris, old pokemon, DKC1-3 all still hold up
>>737927365Watching people having sex is a valid way to experience it since moving your lower in rhythm is only one aspect.
>>737927365Playing a game is a valid way to watch all streams of that game, since listening to some retard is only one aspect.
>>737921805RE4R Mercs Mode is better than the main game and I'm tired of being the only one who thinks that.That Mercs Mode is best in Class, beside RE5 and RE6
The Final Fantasy style job system is worse than just picking a fixed class. Final Fantasy 1 handled classes better than Final Fantasy 5, and is a more enjoyable game in general.Fromsoft generally made better games before Demon's Souls than they have since then.The NES has better games than any 4th gen console.
>>737925192I was refering to shit like the weapon choice at the start of deus ex. the gep gun is still remembered today because of how powerful it is. and why wouldnt a rocket launcher be? in a more boring balanced game the crossbow and sniper would had been patched to be more powerful while gep would be nerfed to make them equal.
>>737921805You don't need a thread for this, just open up any thread and read the posts. /v/ is the shittiest troglodyte board on the internet. The world would be a better place if everyone here was killed.

>>737921805i like simple games, with echoes of wisdom being a prime example of something that /v/ anons screeched about being too easy to the point of being dogshit to them. it was a great game to me, loved every second of the playthrough.
graphical fidelity is a waste of time and resources and there is no need for things to look better than they did in 2010 or so. a huge number of game "developers" are actually just polygon polishers working in the graphics department bloating development costs. modern game development would be significantly improved if 90% of these people were taken out back and shot.

Crypto and AI memes have basically killed PC gaming. The western middle class will be destroyed by AI + outsourcing and never recover. Consoles get more expensive with worse games. Gaming's only real hope of surviving is cheap integrated GPU portables like Decks or ARM handhelds.
>>737928963>2010I'd give it 2004. Silent Hill 3 and Metroid Prime 2 were genuinely good enough.
>>737921805We don't need a thread dedicated to this because everything you fags say is retarded anyway.
>>737931392ok retard
>>737922201The older I get the more I start thinking that games don't really age and people just need to get acclimated to older styles again.
>>737927365Maybe if it's a vn
>>737922201Played Ocarina of Time lately, it was excellent, I 100% the game in about 30 hours, modern games have shitty pacing and mountains of pointless side content.
>>737924669Nice try but nope. Old games are always going to be better because of lack of DRM and DLC infrastructure. It's like a bologna sandwich of old vs a bologna sandwich with a side of cow feces. The old bologna sandwich is still better despire being very similiar if not outright same.
>>737928963With modern math/programming knowledge and more capable modelling tools like Blender, you don't actually need any consoles after 5th gen.Most of the "great graphical leap" out of early 3D was never due to increased processing power of the consoles themselves.

>>7379218052006 to 2017 where the best years of vidya>>737922201AgreedIt's why most nostalgiafags reference the same small list of games because out of the thousands if not tens of thousands from that era those are the only good ones
>>737921805Keyboard and Mouse is the objectively superior control scheme and controllers do nothing but hold back game design due to their limited amount buttons, forcing developers to do shitty contextual inputs instead of separating actions into different key inputs.For anything 3D, the mouse is inherently better at camera control, no matter the genre, and the limited four direction of the WASD vs the analog stick does not even compare to the freedom of easily looking around.For anything 2D like a platformer, keyboard is superior to controllers, since you have a finger on each button at all time, instead of having to switch your thumb to move from left to right for example, giving you way better reaction time.The only thing one could argue in favor for controllers is something like a driving or flying sim where the analog controls would be better, but even there you're better off with a dedicated wheel or joystick instead.
>>737927365Watching streamers react to certain moments (either funny or scary or sad or whatever) in a game you ALREADY PLAYED YOURSELF is fine, otherwise no.
Online gaming is utter crap its only good for trolling not for serious play tryhards ruin the games and the funSteam is a total scam Digital games are never truly yoursAll MMOs are garbageThe current generation is utter garbage only carried because of its good graphicsThe Switch ruined Nintendo

>>737921805There's nothing wrong with sexualizing female characters provided average or even ugly women can also exist without mass seethe, but male characters have the opposite problem. Most are average to ugly and, while some (mostly East Asian) games do have a decent cast of pretty boys, far too few are sexualized. The only notable examples that aren't straight up otomeslop like LADS are Resident Evil, Metal Gear, and DMC. That's it.The obvious solution to everyone's complaints on the subject (by women that female characters are too sexualized and by men when women are sexualized less) is to instead regain balance by sexualizing men more. Everyone gets what they want, everyone's happy, and nobody has the right to complain because they've got theirs too.t. bichad
>>737921805I think the gameplay of RE3make is better than RE2make and I put much more hours into 3 than 2 despite 2 being the better game overall.

>>737934613I agree with your second one.
/v/ places too much stock in Japan and Japanese games. Their hayday is long gone and we're living through their bronze age. Pretending Japan is the promised land it was in the 90s is a delusion maintained by their media but is not reflected it reality.Japanese women are as shallow and boring as any other women on the planet.If you ever moved to Japan you would hate it there.

>>737923547Have you even read the article?Most of their issues are solved via emulation and better releases.
>>737921805Every single one of the people who fell to the EOMM system, no matter the game, should be considered and treated worse than a jeet. Games like LoL, Dota2, CoD multiplayer, FIFA, are IQ filters and anyone who plays them, no matter what excuse they have to play them, should have their opinions valued below trash.
>>737921805>Give me your shittiest /v/ takes. Here is my objectively correct take:Gamers who focus on plot when discussing or ranking the greatest games are just too retarded to pivot to literature.The focus should be gameplay, not plot. Video games will always be subpar to literature where that is concerned - so much so that plot isn't even worth mentioning, let alone lauding. If you see someone making a fuss over amazing narrative in a games discussion, you know they're a retard.
>>737921853It's not a matter of quality, it just fucks up categorizations
>>737921805Consumerism is the reason why games are at the state they are today, especially multiplayer once. Current gamer is a fucking ADHD retard. People simply won't buy multiplayer games, it NEEDS to be free. That is partially a reason why every multiplayer game also is a microtransaction shitfest. But more over, battlepasses and seasonal shit is what current audience REQUIRES. Their brain can't play the game unless they have meta progression in it. This is also partially why rougelites are so popular, btw. People might complain about it, but will still be back in the new season to farm those skins and what not.Current gamer is 60% in fault of what game studios do and get away with. They may be dumb to still ponder to people that generally don't play with ugly woke designs, but they're not dumb that much not to realise microtransaction is a required stuff. Gacha is fucking genius, because it does all that to the worst extent to p2w status, but it's fine, because they have ebin hot waifus people can rub one to while grifters endlessly make comparisons and complain about woke stuff on shitter.com.

>>737937218This is less a shit take and more of a cope take. Weighing the design philosophies of the Primes against the design philosophies of the games Other M is loosely emulating, the latter should've been a far better representation of Metroid. Perhaps in its most competent moments it still is. Truth of the matter is the Primes don't come close to suffering the same baffling, sabotage-inducing flaws that Sakamoto forced upon Other M. Maybe if Miyamoto had tard wrangled him like he did Retro then this statement would be true.

>>737921805- I like open world games like AssCreed Odyssey- I like Win11 more than 99% of linux distros- I despise all "cute"/anime shit games, I dont care how "good" they are- Piracy is morally good and should be encouraged- I buy whatever hardware is cheap at the specific point in time I want to buy. I do not care if its Int-lel, Aymdd or Nshittia
>>737938724I'd say adding time limits is what truly cranked up the brainrot.Achievements predate the Modern Model of f2p live service sloppa, and varring cases where shutdown of online or dumb cheev design rendered some impossible it didn't matter if people went for them today or in 2 years.Now you get a gay clock reminding you that you have 6 days and 13 hours left to hand in 250 fresh foreskins, 2 days left to idle 4 hours in a twitch stream for that assless chaps cosmetic and 13 hours left to get 2 wins. This is how you get meat golems telling you the game you're playing is fun, but they gotta go do their heckin dailies.

dark souls 2 is the best one and i'm NOT kidding
>>737921805I can force my way through just about any game so long as it has some form of party building. As long as there's enough depth for me to think about what my party comp looks like while I'm out walking my dog, I can find enjoyment in the game. I play a lot of jarpigs and poor indie recreations of jarpigs.In spite of this, my favorite jarpig of all time has such little party work that it might as well not count. I can't even abide by my own rule.
If I could get an unbreakable 100% guarantee only people that agree with me on what's undesirable would be in power for the rest of my life, I'd be the biggest pro-censorship warrior on the planet. I do not believe in freedom of speech, I belueve in freedom of MY speech.

>>737933785Tokyo and Kyoto are fucked by SEA tourists, and Akihabara is a normalfag tourist trap. Everything else is fine though.
the modern standard control layout of Left Stick to walk, Right Stick to look, X to interact, and A to jump has severely fucked over any decent expression of gameplay interaction or movement methods because the average gamer is afraid of anything that controls too radically different from the standard. If people saw the controller as a unique way to interact with movement then we'd get more games like Katamari and Ape Escape, but because the standard layout is enforced in every game, we're stuck with Left stick to walk, Right to look, X to interact etc..
people who prefer graphics over frames have never changed their monitor/tv settings ever and have been holding the industry back for decades. 144 fps should have been the industry standard ten years ago.
>>737922201I played FFVII and GTA Vice City for the first time some 2-3 years ago and they were some of the best games I've ever played. This is a unfathomably bad take so I guess you win the thread.
D3 is the best ARPG

>>737921805hit chance is a valid game mechanic.Instead of gender options or body types, simply have sliders for things such as bulge, breast size, shoulder width etc.Oblivion is barely an rpg and only gets the praise it does because it was baby's first rpg for console zoomers, so a lot of people have nostalgia for it.Bully should never have a sequel, because if it did it would inevitably be overly tied to the modern zeitgeist and would come across as cringe no matter what.Quick-saving should not exist, it kills tension. All games should have checkpoints and the fact that Bethesda games are so tedious without quick-saving is a failure of game design.
>Witcher series in general is overrated as hell, mediocre at best and I don't understand why it got popular in first place>Gothic series is plain out bad and likewise don't understand why it's prised as "best thing ever". When they made Risen, it was "Gothic made right" in my opinion and actually good but somehow Gothic fans hated it.>Dark Souls 2 (at least Scholar version, I didn't play original) is best Souls game with best mechanics, co-op and atmosphere, followed by first. DaS 3 is worst Souls by far.>Saints Row 2 is way ahead of GTA IV in every single aspect, ESPECIALLY gameplay. It's fun game, unlike GTA IV, which is as anti-fun as humanly possible.>Every game that have Denuvo should be avoided until it gets removed.>Same for kernel based anti-cheats, legal malware that infest almost every multiplayer game now>Baldurs Gate was never good, Icewind Dale is miles ahead of it in terms of fun>romances in RPGs should be removedI think that all.
>>737943113to clarify some things, hit chance is a valid mechanic even in real time 3D games.*all games with quick-saves should instead have checkpointsOther saving options are valid like saving at the start of a level or save locations. Just please no quick-saving, it conditions players to ruin the experience for themselves.
>>737943185>Witcher series in general is overrated as hell, mediocre at best and I don't understand why it got popular in first placeDialogue (in the original Polish) is top tier. Each character feels colourful, unique, the dialogue is full of charm and wit. Like a slavic version of VTMB. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btnAt9So6mw
Itch.io autism is brilliant actually. Mentally ill teenagers bearing their souls and shitty fetishes are infinitely more compelling than anything "professional" writers will churn out in an office meeting.
The entire Zelda series is extremely overrated. And I mean entire, including OOT and Majora's Mask.
>>737943530>Dialogue (in the original Polish) is top tier.not an argument
>>737921805Afterbirth+ isn't that bad, it's Repentance that's truly shit.Most open world games are too shallow to justify being open world. The world just feels like backdrop that serves no real purpose. If you give me an open world, I expect to be able to interact with everything in it beyond just driving cars and shooting people.Portal 2 is bad. The jokes are a lot more forced and dumb than the first game. It lacks the dark tone, the bleakness or the cold humour. And while the first game was admittedly mostly tutorials, there's no reason why the sequel should have been. I would have preferred if it had no portal gun at all, I know they named the game "Portal", but really it would have made for a more interesting sequel if it was based around entirely different puzzle mechanics.

RPGs are the best genre. Action RPGs, CRPGs, JRPGs, SRPGs it doesn't matter. RPGs are the best and every other genre is inferior in comparison. Numbers MUST go up.
90s American games are pure jank, you're a tasteless retard if you feel nostalgia for them.
>>737944170>Afterbirth+ isn't that bad, it's Repentance that's truly shitHonestly based. Rep changed the game identity too much. Many of the Tainted characters are locked too far into their gimmicks instead of being the gentle nudge of most other characters, most of them could have been a challenge. You need to do a bunch more runs overall to complete everything to the point it stops being fun. Game breaks are once in a blue moon between the nerfs and the fact that there are just too many items in the game. And I'm gonna say it: the AB+ enemy spawner portal hate is insanely overblown.I fully completed AB+ and kept playing runs for fun, but I couldn't be bothered with Rep and tapped out after unlocking Mega Mush. It's just too bloated.
I think WarioWare games suck.
>>737921805Fallout 76 is fun.
