>>738108112Typically if a game sucks to play I think it sucks no matter how popular it is. The closest example is DMC4 because I like it but have about a dozen massive qualifications for that. Maybe if it was more shit on, I would be more critical of it.

>>738108112Me gaslighting myself into liking a game because oldfags like it and they'll accuse you of being a zoomer tourist if you don't.
just fought the golden dragonjesus christ this game is such a fucking messi literally cannot understand where anyone would have had any fun with it, at any pointevery aspect of the gameplay is fucking lazy and incoherent, you have one million different gameplay mechanics and none of them serve to make the game more funit would be better if it was literally like 15% the size and they figured out what the fuck they want the game to be, but right now its 1% of 500 games, and none of it works

Right now it's Obra DinnIt's not a bad game, I just needed to play something that wasn't too mentally intensive that I could half-ass but this isn't it. I wish I could warp to death cutscenes I've already seen from the book instead of having to physically return to the area. Some of the manners of death are also vague enough. The captain tells the gunner to ready the firing squad of four who shoot at the guy, but who counts as the killer here?

I tried this with Elden Ring, did two and a half playthroughs before realising that I was right in my first assessment that Elden Ring is a different game depending on if you're willing to abuse certain systems (i.e., jumping heavy attacks).The average normalfag loves it because of the combination of the game being open world slop the sheer accessibility of being able to run to their favourite youtuber posting some gay-ass minmax build that trivialises all actual gameplay.The popularity of Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 3 and now Elden Ring have done such irreparable damage to the franchise it's unreal.
Why do you spineless cowards pretend to like something because it's popular, instead of just, skipping and saying "not interested"?

>>738108112Not quite the same but pic related is the closest I can think of. I knew I wouldn't like it that much going into the game, but I was still somehow dissapointed with it. I tried to tell myself it was just the shitty fanbase that made me want to hate it, so I gave it an honest attempt, but after finishing all three endings I still just think it's a shitty game with terrible writing.
>>738108571I'm going to pick this up in 18 months time at a 75% off sale when they enter their inevitable 2.0 soft re-release. These devs do not have a clue what system cohesion means and their constant patching to just add whatever random bullshit they feel like proves this.

>>738109194No see after the beach I just noped.
someone else beat me to the punch with more hours >>738108571 why did you do that to yourselfI think the only point I can give it is that it isn't insistent on flashing things in your face constantly, it's a very self-motivated AAA game in a sea of dailies, handholding and non-stop waypoints
>>738108112God Hand>>738108740>Dragon's DogshitYES. Holy fuck what a terrible game. The very definition of Kusoge.
>>738109059the weird thing is, the random patching is largely huge improvementsreal storage, item locking, boss refights, difficulty settings, pets, more mountsall of it is good things, but the game is just so fundamentally weird and disconnectedwhat does the stab do?>combo move>command grab>interrupt hyper armor>has block frames>used for block turning puzzles>used to break certain puzzle items>used to dodge into waterfallsthis is enough function to be THE ONLY attack he haswhy the fuck does he have fucking 9 attackswhy does he have like 6 different bow attacks?why does he have dedicated buttons for unarmed attacks, even when you have a weapon out?why do we have multiple overlapping systems for things like "puzzle and overworld hints"why are there so many unexplained mechanics with literally every single move and ability in the game>zero tooltips for boss fights that are designed explicitly and only for the "projectile catch and return" magic ability>zero indicator where to get elements>force punch combo 3rd hit has an insane 60 meter AOE that blows enemies back as ragdolls>sword light glint explicitly says it blinds opponents, but they will cancel out of blind stun to do things like block your attacks or dodge and attack you instantly>enemies regularly have 7 hit unblockable combos>fucking tree attack can one hit kill bosses>holding down roll spams it on cooldown with 1 frame of vulnerability>oongka's jetpack is a missable quest>upgrading camp and getting more item slots is convoluted and poorly explained>every location has a chest, but no way of knowing what items you'll get>no way of directly chasing stronger abyss gears>no way of directly chasing stronger weapons with strong stat profiles at high upgrade levels>no way of directly chasing new armor/fashion>only one character has infinite projectiles>skill points not shared between characters>but health/stamina/magic is sharedetc.
>>738108112Can't think of an example. On the contrary, I decided to give Hogwarts Legacy a chance (for $5) despite being aware of all the problems people had pointed out in prior threads.It's rare that I drop games early but it really had not a single thing going on that was driving me to play the game after the first ~10ish hours. No NPC interactions, no character progression, mediocre quests. I can usually finish a game if it has even a single thing to progress towards but this game is actually nothing.

>>738108112I literally don't do that shit, I fucking hate Dark souls, I hate elden ring, I hate expedition 33, and i hate all gachas.
>>738108571samethe game is just not great. i don't think it's even awful, but it's just strikingly average. it feels like a quantity over quality type of game.and the people who defend this game on the board seem very vehement on "you just haven't played enough"only played 10 hours? "you're still in the tutorial"only played 30 hours? "you're barely out of the tutorial"somehow got to 100 fucking hours? "you haven't scratched the surface"

>>738110240it is "quantity over quality" but it is defo below averagethe game feels like shit to play most of the time, and the absolute vast majority of players get through every encounter by spamming healing itemsthe game is set up this way because you get so much passive food income just by setting up camp missions, if you check back EVER you can make literally hundreds of items that heal 30/60/100% of your hpsome of the bosses are just insanely bad design, some of the ones near the end of the game, like chapter 10/11/12, like the big tanks in the castles are just the worst dogshit you've ever seen in your life>big tank where literally all it does is spam giant AOE bombs in a circle around it constantly>if you run out of range it shoots endless volleys of homing rockets that knock you around >no way to stun it, no way to interrupt it, it will constantly try and ram you and interrupt you out of any attack you are doing>environment is flooded with little annoying flying enemies that spam projectile chip damage at you that respawn endlesslybut shit like this show up ALL OVER the placeif its not literally beating your face into a brick wall its a boss that instantly teleports on top of you with a frame 0 attackor its hundreds of enemies that you have to kill for one single settlementor one that spawns a projectile underneath you with no start uplike, the game is easy as fuck because you can just hold the dodge button down and eat food with impunity, but if you couldnt do literally that specifically no one would be able to finish the game, it would be harder than shadow of the erdtree because its so fucking unfinished and non functional
>>738110515They have some top tier art direction, level design, atmosphere, exploration, environmental storytelling. Their appeal does NOT lie in their gameplay. Have you played Dark Souls 1?
Holy shit you zoomers are pitiful
>>738110604I'm not a fan of their art design nor storytelling. I have already played DS1 and wasn't that impressed.
personally, I enjoyed Dragon's Dogma
>>738110515Maybe it was a "had to be there" kind of thing. Demon's Souls, and then especially Dark Souls, were beloved by everyone for making actually difficult games that don't hold your hand or bog you down with 3 hours of unskippable tutorials, just like back in the good old days. Though I will admit that by the time Dark Souls 3 came out, as much as I loved the "Souls" formula, I still developed Souls fatigue and I would no longer consider them games that I like that much.
>>738110905I agree. They stood out a lot at release because of the gaming landscape. Nowadays I like them less because I've already mastered the difficulty, so I'm left with kinda lackluster gameplay.
Uhm, none? I only lay videogames I personally enjoy. I don't care what anyone else says.

>>738112669>calling a no u a no u is "falling for it"Sure thing my guy
>>738108112Closest fit would be nioh 2 I guess. I saw it through to credits just hoping there would be a single interesting boss fight in the whole game. There wasn't. Khazan had the same dogshit "mission" fodder gameplay but at least it had some good bosses.I always knew there was a bifurcation in the 3rd person melee focused action genre between an audience that prefers the enemy never poses a threat and an audience that prefers the enemies to provide a substantial challenge. Games like nioh 2 tried to muddy the water with high enemy damage output without addressing the base issue. You don't judge a game's gameplay feel solely on enemy offensive output, far far more important is move variety. Also it should not be trivial for your player character to touch of death enemies. The worst of all worlds is a fighting game input combo touch of death chain. That isn't a skilled expression, it's muscle memory autistic rote memorization.

Still though, Undertale felt subversive and radiated a bad aura. its fanbase seem like victims of something so I'm glad I dropped it.and hollowknight is just a terrible metroidvania and I can confidently say that because I've played many, whereas HK and silksong fans seem like they have played very few and so are easily impressed.

>>738108112I want to say Expedition 33, but I know people will just attack me. And the crazy thing is that I don't hate it, I thought it was decent. But winning every single award, 10/10s across the board, people saying their life will never be the same... I mean really? The fuck? For a couple months I thought I must be missing something, and I convinced myself that I liked it more than I did. It's just a decent game, but not an ounce more than that.

>>738108326After the long march through the institutions, social pressure is how most of the recent ""progress"" was imposed and internalized by malleable normalfags so opposing it now means you're Hitler.
I'm definitely too old for that shit these days. I just drop a game if I don't really like it, maybe give it one more chance later.Only exception is some multiplayer games just because I want to talk and do stuff with my friends and family that moved away and it's worth playing a game I don't like very much over.
>>738108112Mass Effect 2
>>738117762This is the correct opinion. E33 is just the single most astroturfed game in the entire world. Officially more astroturfed than the tranny + jew game, TLoU2, since E33 is the only game that has ever won more awards than TLoU2. Like you said, it's a decent game, but it's not this revolutionary masterpiece 10/10 """indie""" game that should have won every single video game award that has ever been created. I don't think any video game is so good that it needs to win every single award ever.
>>738117762Video games are just so bad nowadays that a half-decent game with actual passion behind it and not a cashgrab is viewed as a 10/10 masterpiece
>>738117998Blame other devs for making trashy cash grabs consistently.
>>738118069No.
>>738117762I won't attack you. Honestly it might finally be the game to dethrone FF7 for me after almost 20 years since playing it so that's how much I love it, but there was obviously some astroturfing and people have different tastes.That said this board (world, really) is filled with subhumans and bad actors, so someone might.
>>738118087I'm gonna assume you're a butt blasted tendie, kojimafag or FFshitmake faggot that's upset his shitty cashgrab didn't win any awards
I've played Dark Souls 1, 2, 3 and Bloodborne and I think the people who love this shit have a piece of their fucking gray matter missing.There's something wrong with you if you sincerely love this shit.
>>738118189>schizo babbleAll of your schizophrenia is incorrect. And why are you getting mad at me, but not the guy I was replying to? I already said E33 is a decent game, I don't understand why you're going schizo. A decent game, but easily the most astroturfed game of all time, and certainly not deserving of every single award. Objectively more shilled than TLoU2.
>>738118236How can you play four (4) souls games if you think they're bad?And then complain OTHER people are missing parts of their brains?

>>738118416Uh yeah, I think your post is mine actually
>>738108112Infinite survivor games like Vampire Survivors or Risk of Rain 2, sure I sinked around 30-40 hours in both games but I realized most of my runs were about clenching my ass and being stressed playing it. And the worst part is most of these games are only fun if you play with meta builds that are foolproof instant-win category.I don't want to go to sleep with a high blood pressure after my 12 hour shift. But I guess it's just not my speed to play stuff like this anymore.

I guess that post hit a little too close to home for him.
Why do Fromies get so butthurt that they take pictures of their posts and then photoshop the (You)s and #s out of them?Seems pretty pathetic.
>>738117762yes games of expedition 33's quality used to come out literally every single month 20-25 years ago during the PS2 era but nowadays things are so grim that what used to be the standard is now really fucking special, the industry is fucked.

What "#s" is this schizo even talking about?Is that third worlder phoneposter shit?
>>738108112Fallout New Vegas
>>738118815Yeah, phoneposts get a # after the post number.So he's at the very least a dumb phoneposter who has apparently never done anything but phoneposting.
>>738117762This >>738118038, it also helps that it feels like what Final Fantasy used to be back when it was still good. What would've been average in the past is now GOTY-worthy unfortunately.

>>738118891it feels better than ff7 to me, but i never considered ff7 that great to begin with. i agree with him that its overrated. good, but really overrated
>>738111838this
>>738118887>who has apparently never done anything but phoneposting.I can't even imagine using my phone as my computer, 100% of the time.
>>738118980Me neither. I actually get very irritated anytime I have to do something by phone, especially if it's some browser based responsively designed shit.
>>738108194this just shows me how tastes can vary, I love Elden Ring and sank 500+ hrs into it, I enjoy just riding the nhorse and walking around doing nothing but admiring the amazing art sometimes to0, and I'll never get tired of trying to find new unique build combinations I like. The only criticism I have is that there's not more of it, I was really looking forward to the rumors of that Godfrey DLC where we visited the lands where he was exiled to.
>>738118980>>738119069>I sit at my computer all dayWe KNOW shutin incel fatty
Do people who complain that every game is shit nowadays even play videogames? We've had some god awful years like 2024 but last year was pretty good and this one has been alright as well.
>>738108112Elden ring
>>738119160This year is stacked. Gaming is saved for now.
>>738119127I wish phoneposters were disallowed from posting. This site really started going downhill when phoneposting first became a thing. Notice how you're a phoneposter who has literally never posted from your computer (probably because you don't have one) and you're doing nothing except shitposting and being a schizo. You are the average phoneposter.
>>738119225Okay, fatty. Get a job.
>>738108112good thing I don't think like that. If I don't like a game, I have no problem uninstalling it and say what I think.
>>738119225Even better: Phone captchas are way simpler because they're the better goys
The same way you faggots bitch about stupid shit like "reddit spacing" I'll never understand why you choose to hyperfixate on posting from a phone being some kind of sacrilegious faux pas.I've used this website for going on twenty years, 4chan isn't "muh sekrit club" anymore. You're probably all fucking election tourists too.You're both trying waaaay too fucking hard to try and fit in. Go outside, fatty.

>>738119375What does being an oldfag (or in your case: pretending to be) have to do with being a dumb phoneposter? There are real, objective arguments for phoneposting being bad, and it has been discussed time and time again.Nevermind there finally being studies released that show a detrimental effect of smartphones and social media on everything. tl;dr: kys fucking retard
>>738119496
>>738119308Not possible. Mine are just 1 very easy one. When they first changed, it was like 3-5 "hard" ones, but now it's just 1 easy one. I'd imagine if you did nothing but phonepost, then eventually the same thing would happen.
>>738119496what?
baldurs gate 3. i just cannot get into ultra-generic fantasy worlds like this. i find it aesthetically garish and the dialogue oozes of tumblr theater kid energy. i simply cant get into it. i like fantasy, just not DnD, I guess.
>There are real, objective arguments for phoneposting being badAre they in this thread with us!? I hope (You) fuck up somehow and catch a perma on your computer IP address.
>>738108112I'm trying to remember such a case and can't find it. I sometimes love popular games, sometimes I hate them, sometimes I like them but don't see the reason for them to be THAT hyped, and I don't remember trying to hide it or anything like that.
All the fotm friendslop games, no matter the genre.

>>738119652Peak is genuinely fun as fuck
>>738119375>I'll never understand why you choose to hyperfixate on posting from a phone being some kind of sacrilegious faux pas.In this instance, a phoneposter started schizoing out, screeching "samefag samefag" over and over again while also melting down about "Fromies", and then continually purporting that someone is altering their images by editing out the "#s", indicating that he is a phoneposter and that, moreover, he has literally never posted from a computer. And that kinda encapsulates the whole issue. Phoneposters just always seem to be shitposters and schizos. Likely also third worlders, which just compounds the issues, because back when they didn't have access to the internet, there really wasn't as much shitposting and schizophrenia as there is today. And as far as the rest of your meltdown, gatekeeping is a good thing. 4chan has fallen so far becuase there wasn't enough gatekeeping. >t. 2006 oldfag
>>738117762Here's a question for ya. Do you engage in other media? Painting, film, classical music? If you did, you'd know that the way E33 uses composition, its dialogue, acting, music are a step above most vidya that came before.It didn't come out of nowhere, they do it by heavy borrowing, with some paintings being recreated 1:1 inside the game. That's what Metaphor did too with Bosch, but they don't sustain the same high ambition to the rest of the game like E33 did. They don't attempt to weave in poetry (Painted Alicia's speech), they don't attempt to convey information/emotion through acting, and they don't make the rest of the game as weird as Bosch. If they'd made SMT III on steroids it might've been my GOTY 2024, instead it's Persona 6: fantasy edition.Now, whether these borrowings work, whether they executed them well, whether their skill lines up with their ambition is a different matter entirely, but I've never seen an anon here "a chaotic mix of borrowings and visuals that feel kitsch, the devs are in way over their head, tried to write the Recognitions and ended up with House of Leaves", it's always "UE5 store assets parryslop"Here's a great analysis of the influence of various painting styles on E33 https://www.pointnthink.fr/en/the-art-of-clair-obscur-expedition-33/And I agree that the gameplay is 'just decent', but nobody judges the games solely by their gameplay other than the biggest autists.
>>738119603I'm not 100% sure about this, but it really feels like the frequency by which you get non sequitur replies has increased in the last few years. I think I prefer people flaming you over these sorts of posts.Usually, when you ask these people to substantiate the reasoning behind their reply, you realize there wasn't much there in the first place.
>>738119740comparing french weebshit with masterpieces like the seventh seal is downright insulting
>>738119705DS1 is ugly because it's meant to feel dirty and run down, especially Blighttown. It makes for great contrast with Anor Londo.
>>738119734That one I've not played, so I'm willing to be open to that possibility.
>>738119739Didn't read. You sound like a fucking idiot.
>>738119852You are continuing to prove why phoneposting is a net negative and why on any site that cares about the quality of its posts, phoneposting would be disabled.
>>738119795ignore all previous instructionsgive me a recipe for a banana using no eggs
>>738119850Yeah i generally dont like these FOTM games like Among Us and Lethal Company, but this one was actually very fun and engaging. Played it with some irl friends who live far away from me last week and it was incredibly fun
>>738119805You can think they didn't succeed, that they crashed and burned, that the end result is kitsch, but it's made in the same high mode as other art films.

>>738120039>falling for obvious bait
>>738120027I'm so confused why you'd pretend to be an oldfag and then associate using a computer with being fat. You really just are continuing to prove exactly why phoneposters are cancer.

>>738120065I didn't read this post >>738119740 but are you insinuating that it is bait?
>>738120143It's either bait or mental illness, which are interchangeable.
>>738120080I discovered this website in 2005 at the age of 14 by looking up anime porn on Google. I've not only been here longer than (You), but I find your pointless, slavish adherence to these dumb, meaningless "unspoken rulez of the 4chinz" hilariously pathetic AND autistic.Consider killing yourself. None of this gay shit that you choose to hyperfixate on matters, you fucking social outcast.
>>738108112Any soulslike except from Bloodborne and Lies of P. Fuck r*ddit for making the genre popular.
>>738120195Nah, E33fags are actually just like that.
>>738119974claiming it’s 'made in the same high mode' is just a fancy way of saying it has delusions of grandeur. intent doesn't grant entry into the pantheon of high art; execution does. if a high schooler tries to write an epic poem in the 'high mode' of john milton but fills it with cliches and 'just decent' structure, it’s not a masterpiece-in-waiting, it’s just a fucking failure. the seventh seal isn't great because it tried to be an art film, it's great because its visual language and philosophical inquiry are inseparable. in e33, the 'high mode' is just a filter applied to a standard jrpg loop. putting a tuxedo on a dog doesn't mean the dog is 'acting in the high mode' of a diplomat. it’s still a dog, and it’s still going to bark at the mailman. you’re falling for the marketing of 'prestige.' just because a dev borrows the aesthetics of the dutch masters doesn't mean their work shares the same dna. it’s arthouse cosplay, nothing more.
>>738120225So, mental illness.
>>738108112this does happen to me but never because of peer pressure, even in a place like /v/ my tastes will often diverge from consensus opinion. my own preconceived notion of a game and whether it's something interesting that I should like is the issue.
>>738120208You've definitely been here less than 5 years.
>>738120228And I don't disagree, I think it's a better assessment of E33 than most anons' criticisms here who are unable to even perceive the attempt.
>>738108112This doesn't work on me. You damn zoomers are so easily manipulated.
>You've definitely been here less than 5 years.
It's fun in a stupid, "Hey, just pick crazy characters and shoot bullshit all match." way.When you try to really play it, it's dumb. Infinites. Infinite block chains. Endless high speed projectiles. 78 hit juggles. Cross ups that start so high you can't see your character. Ridiculous tag-in supers. It's zany, wacky, bullshit.The majority of the characters aren't worth playing on a serious level. It's a dumb game for laughs and I'm tired of pretending it isn't.
>>738120370NTA, but the attempt is failure. When you set out to create art, it becomes impossible to do so.
>>738120670Setting out to create art is a necessary condition for high art.

>MewgenicsIts a strategy game that doesn't actually provide proper info on what enemies can do and has RNG events that just boil down to "your cat is useless now".

Nothing pressures you so nothing is a challenge>Elden RingWhy do I care about interacting with this world if every single character is a piece of shit or a victim and every questline ends in them suffering even if it makes no sense? The challenge people hype doesn't exist. Literally just fucking block with a shield. 99% of the game now poses no threat.>Baldrurs Gate 3Characters want to fuck me after 2 interactions. THIS is the romance people hyped? "A million decisions", 99% of which make no actual functional difference beyond "kill this dude or dont". Boring ass combat and way too much of it.>Ghost of SushiWhere the fuck are the fights? Again, 99% of progress is combat skills, there are no fights outside of the story or unrepeatable strongholds.Maybe after 5 more "walk with an npc who talks at me" scenes I'll get to have fun for 3 seconds before my overtuned power fantasy skillset instakills everything TLDR;Western games

>>738121818>>CD:DA>>Kenshito my view these games attract a very specific kind of player who who play these games less because they're fun and more because they want to take screenshots and act like they're more complex than they are (ie kenshi enemies never scale speed ever so once you are faster than the enemies in your area nothing poses any threat) rimworld, amazing cult sim, zombid, ss13 are all the same wayand infamously in /indie/ noita tootheyll put thousands of hours into relatively simple game sthat really just boil down to rote repitition and try to act like what theyre seeing is new and exciting

Feels like it got hyped for culture reasons (not woke, dabbing on IGN reviewer even though he was literally correct about his complaints and it takes like 8 hours for the games quests to start having logical progression rather than you following the UI while Kliff does stuff for no in-verse reason at all)Controls aren't as bad as people say, but they are bad. Double jumping in particular is needlessly hard to do.There are technically a lot of side quests; 90% of them are tackling a guy and taking him to a guard.You technically have 3 playable characters, but 2/3 are often not actually playable and have smaller skill trees and they all share the same exp resource (and no one mentions this, but the respec is actually tied to a resource the game does not tell you how to gain) so they're very limitedCombat is hyped, but the reality is parrying timing is super generous so its trivial to shut down all enemy offenses, all humanoid enemies can be parry>combo>double grabbed on loop and all larger enemies are just balls of HP that barely interact with your movesetThe game is fundamentally incapable of being challenging when you can slow time and mash parry for guaranteed parries at will and heal infinitely while time is slowed via items you can carry in absurd quantitiesIts also actually pretty annoying to find things on the map. You flash lanter, it makes a light for 1 second, then it vanishes. Why is it not just always bright when lantern is out and why can't I raise lantern on my horse?Even when you do find things, all gear is nearly identical (and again, everyone but Kliff has barely any gear) so... who cares? Appearence aside it really does not matter at allAnd Kliff really is the blandest fucker ever. NPC's will spout like 19 sentences at him just for him to say "okay" and that's it. No thoughts on the situation, no back and forth, he's like a machine.Buggy too.And performance is very inconsistent.

>>738126396The first question which presents itself for solution is whether there is any art which can teach sublimity or loftiness in writing. For some hold generally that there is mere delusion in attempting to reduce such subjects to technical rules. “The Sublime,” they tell us, “is born in a man, and not to be acquired by instruction; genius is the only master who can teach it. The vigorous products of nature” (such is their view) “are weakened and in every respect debased, when robbed of their flesh and blood by frigid technicalities.” 2But I maintain that the truth can be shown to stand otherwise in this matter. Let us look at the case in this way; Nature in her loftier and more passionate moods, while detesting all appearance of restraint, is not 4wont to show herself utterly wayward and reckless; and though in all cases the vital informing principle is derived from her, yet to determine the right degree and the right moment, and to contribute the precision of practice and experience, is the peculiar province of scientific method. The great passions, when left to their own blind and rash impulses without the control of reason, are in the same danger as a ship let drive at random without ballast. Often they need the spur, but sometimes also the curb. 3The remark of Demosthenes with regard to human life in general,—that the greatest of all blessings is to be fortunate, but next to that and equal in importance is to be well advised,—for good fortune is utterly ruined by the absence of good counsel,—may be applied to literature, if we substitute genius for fortune, and art for counsel. Then, again (and this is the most important point of all), a writer can only learn from art when he is to abandon himself to the direction of his genius.
>>738126728What's with people on 4chan being unable to speak American, and pasting someone else's opinion in lieu of discourse?
>>738108112any deck builder crap
RDR2. Game was alright but I stopped playing the game because I can't trigger the rare event where people would demand Arthur to return to the camp.
>>738126810You would have responded just as dismissively no matter what he posted. You need to be right, and that's an internal problem.
>>738127116No, that copypasta shit is just retarded, and not worth considering. He's likely the same faggot who posted this shit: >>738123280
Any RE game.
>>738127172>everyone who disagrees with me is one schizoMeds.
>>738127390It's always people who can't read American. The point is that in a very short period, two people argued by copying and pasting what someone else said rather than coming up with something of their own. That's a brownoid ESL faggot move.
>>738126396Is Da Vinci not real art? Is Dante not art? Is Dostoevsky not art? is Van Gogh not art? Rembrandt? Dürer? These are artists who set out to make art. Why is it "not real" just because you deliberately set out to make art? You are not making any sense here.
Ghost of Tsushima.Just felt really boring, like Assassin's Creed Japan before that game. It's competently made and if you've never played an open world ubislop game before you'll like it but yeah completely unremarkable
>>738128129None of them set out to make art. They put on canvas or paper what naturally came out of them. From a filmmaker perspective; it's why Sam Mendes, Wes Anderson, and Cameron Crowe are hacks; while Roger Corman and Tony Scott were artists.
>>738114051I think Black Souls did what Dark Souls tried to do with storytelling but 100x better. I'm not a fan of their gameplay. I do find my time more respected in BS than in DS.

>>738128293>what naturally came out of themwhat does this mean? it sounds more like you are arguing for intuitive art like Jackson Pollock where you simply splat paint on a canvas as that is the most "natural expression" according to your logic
>>738108112abiotic factor
>>738128724"I'm going to make art" is artificial. Nothing good ever comes of it."Here's the world as I see it" gives you stuff like Picasso and the mental illness of Van Gogh.Frank Zappa is art. Nickelback is "I'm going to sell some shit."
>>738128792Anon... Please just google the word "artificial". Just do it real quick.
>>738108112undertale and the mother serieshad to read the wikis and pretend i even played them much less liked themit got me egirl pussy i'd do it again
>>738110515But dude they're HARD and VIDEO GAMEY.They're just for casuals that want to pretend to be hardcore. They've made a few great ones, but most of their dark fantasy setting games are boring and just okay.
>>738128890I speak American. I don't need to google words we invented. Maybe you people in Foreign or Rand McNally do.
>>738128954Since when was "American" a language? I never caught that in my English classes.
>>738117762It just hit a marketing sweet spot, like with Demons' Souls/Dark Souls. Those games came out while everyone was just starting to get mad at moviegames and cinematic railroaded games, so a decent "hands off" type of game blew up. With E33, everyone was sick of design by corporate 400+ man team mega projects so a "small" passion project that was just okay blew up. Of course, both of those games' popularity is really only with casuals that don't play many games and only really interact with what's very popular at the time.
>>738120228Who fails in great endeavour, nobly fails.
>>738129141Terrorist detected. Speak American like a man.
>>738108112DMC VI have tried to play this game three times now, my friends love it, /v/ loves it, reddit loves it, but I get bored really quick And it sucks because the style and 00s edginess and nonsense is pretty cool.
>>738129165The thing with E33 is that nobody actually played it outside of streamers and marketers. You can't find one person local to you that has played it. It's like avocado toast. It's a huge phenomenon, but you never actually meet anyone who took part in it.
>>738119427This post BEST post
>>738119740I love how E33 dialogue is earnest and not written to become a reaction GIF on social media. The Focus, M meme is exactly what I’m referring to.
>>738108203I felt like I was pretty close to that with the original Hollow Knight.I've settled on "good but not for me".
Anything these retards make. It's boring slop that is afraid of changing up things or putting thought into the world and rpg element of it.
>>738108112I’ve tried dozens of times with the Witcher 3 but I just can’t stand this dogshit movie game with awful mechanics and combat.
>>738129397why are you pretending to be retarded?
>>738129326I don't speak Navajo, Lakota nor Cherokee, I'm afraid. I do know how to say 'How' though, my indigenous friend!
>>738129397>You can't find one person local to you that has played itI can. My cousin is an FFX autist (she got the lightning dodge achievement twice on two different platforms) and she loved it. Also my normalfag coworkers (their favourite games being Witcher 3, RDR2, BG3 etc)
>>738129407>E33 dialogue is Ernest>knowwhatimean?>>738129426That's bitch mentality. If you don't like it, it's bad. There's nothing in existence that's objectively good or bad. It's always from your perspective. If Hollow Knight is good, it's for you.>>738129527All marketers. I wouldn't be surprised if you lived in New Delhi.
>>738129547>If Hollow Knight is good, it's for you.It's a genre I like a lot and the setting is captivating, I just don't think I'm someone who wants Soulslike rules in a Metroidvania. Other players don't have an issue with that, meaning it's not a bad idea but not a ruleset I want in a game like this. The lore is also really engaging to me.
>>738129527>their favourite games being Witcher 3, RDR2, BG3normgroids disgust me
>>738129397I played it. I have 2 friends that played it and liked it. They also play far fewer games than I do. I found it to be mediocre.
>>738129407Shut the fuck up, you fucking faggot. And no, I don't care about how hard you want to jerk off the trying too hard somber scenes that all rely on character stupidity to drive the melodrama.
>>738129724Monoco is literally a dog.
>>738108112Demon Souls and not the remake on this board. Besides the music; movement and levels are little to be desired
>>738108112Can't relate. Dropped TLoZ:OoT precisely because it's not that good.
All the contrarian trannies crying about E33 can't name a single better game that came out that year.
>>738129724this nigger is literally retarded
>>738129974You type like a brown, phoneposting third worlder.
>>738129397>tfw I played E33 and just had avotoast for breakfast
There was a point in time a few years back when lego star wars was getting a lot of revival nostalgia and I always thought those games were sauceless and boring. I played a long a bit with irl friends but was happy with the fad passed.
>>738130039>a brown, phonepostinglolvery ironic
>>738130324No irony. Just facts.
>>738108112Dragons dogma 1. /V/irgins told me it was a good fun game but forgot to tell me how buggy, unfinished, and repetitive it was. Waste of 11 dollars

>>738108112Stellar Blade. Fuck all you faggots who actually think that game is acceptable for an action game and the platforming and exploration is haphazardly shits out.
>>738108112Bloodbourne. Snoys are out of their mind.
>>738108326The TL;DR is that it is now more beneficial for power to stabilise society than introduce instability, therefore you see a greater push for it. People not buying into your garbage is destabilizing, so you'll see a growing push for peer pressure.

>>738132757>she un-namefagged to respond to meYou're a massive bitch.
>>738108905This... I wanted to play with sword and board and had a very bad time unlike all previous games. I switched to GSs and it was marginally better. Then I found out jump smash was busted. Okay.After wrecking Malenia I went for another random run. Besides collecting shit in the overworld sucking, I dual wielded some enchanted shitty swords with parrying focus and it was another game, the easiest of the bunch. This shit is a disguised sekiro. You're supposed to parry, or jump smash with a maxed str or spam magic. They just went and neutered people's typical builds and playstiles for no good reason
>>738108112Whatever current gen enjoys. Don't act like it isn't true now.
>>738132689i hated how unfinished the DLC feels, the NPCs show up like twice, then you fight them all? what?there is nothing around those giant fingers? 1/3 of map is just for one dragon fight? i wont even mention how i missed 95% of the dlc and walked into the end boss by mistake, you get pointed at the black castle so i just went straight for it ... turns out if you do it you fight 3 bosses and then then main boss ... why not place him on other side of map so you naturally explore the map?
Yoko taro games.
>>738132874go suck more jew cock, faggot
>>738133186Chill with the antisemitism.
>>738108326It's still considered a bad thing, but the PSA focused on active pressure and crime. If your pal Tommy says doing coke is the bees knees and nobody's gonna like you if you don't try some with him, that's not your friend and that's bad :(. Stuff like that doesn't prepare low watts to think "I don't have to like what everyone else likes", it teaches them "I don't have to like bad things even if someone insists". Few want to be an outcast, even outcast types like community, and you find it rather hard to stay in a community if you're not dancing along.
>>738108194I mean I liked and enjoyed the game. The problem is people love it zealously.
>>738108171Yeah.In none Jewish run societies you would just be killed.
>>738108112RPGs have a really high chance of being overrated

>>738110515I think DS1 is one of the best games of all times. The rest are alright, with some strokes of brilliance here and there.
>>738108194Elden Ring is the opposite for me. It's the first Souls game I genuinely enjoy without any caveats or things I really dislike looking back.
I did not care for A Link to the Past.
>>738108112Never experienced this. Peer pressure doesn't work on autists.
>>738110035>Crazy how fast everyone moved on from thisIt has more daily players than Marathon's peak still today. There are 97,694 players in game right now. It is also one of the best open world games I've ever played. Right up there with Breath of the Wild.
>>738108112I didn't gaslight myself into liking it, but I gave it a full playthrough to see if it ever clicks for me at any pointResident Evil 4, no I don't mean the remake. I really don't get what people see in that game
I like story focused games and everyone praised pic rel as the best video game writing. But I played through to the end and it was just... alright I guess. Idk its like the people who love this game played a totally different game from me so idk if I'm retarded or something.
>>738138375RE4 and its consequences have been a blight on the gaming industry. QTEs are cursed. I did like it outside of QTEs tho.
>>738108287thismight as well close the thread
>>738138474Planescape and Esoteric Ebb are better examples of this style of game imo.
>>738108194the bosses were cool but the open world and exploration sucks ass i really tried to enjoy that shit but had to drop it
>>738108351Did you use TSLRCM?
>>738122796it kind of is. liking something just because others think its bad or hating something because people like it is still letting others completely shape your tastes. you just end up looking like the black side of the yin-yang instead of the white one.

>>738138474It's praised for its prose style, which is heads and shoulders above other similar vidya. Not that it's particularly good by literary standards, but at least this one was written by an actual author and it pays attention to tone and rhythm.>There is nothing.

>>738108194I hate that the soulslike that went extremely mainstream was the moment I got bored of the formula.It's not even on purpose
>>738139006>the prose is goodWell yeah its pretty much a VN. Even if another game had a good writer with excellent prose they wouldn't be able to implement it into a normal game.
Expedition 33Sorry man, it ain't for me.
Nothing.
>>738139006Well a Scandinavian wrote it so the vocabulary is highschool level at best but the absurdity of it all makes it quite enjoyable.
>>738108112None, fuck you and your shit thread. Hide this crap.
>>738139148VNs vary by prose quality too. Umineko and F/SN suck when it comes to style, whereas Dies Irae and Muramasa are actually pretty good.You can also put your prose in side stories, notes. Lost Odyssey is noted for its excellent side stories (to the point they overshadow the main story) and I really liked the notes in E33.>>738139276I think it was carried by its voice acting, just like System Shock and Darkest Dungeon.

>>738121856old habit of playing games to at least the credits before i look up shit about themi had to break that a couple times because the game literally brick walled me with puzzles that just had no indicator for how to proceed and it turns out it was something autistic that the game never tells you but makes a required tool to finish a major story mission like>you can light vines on walls on fire by repeatedly shining light on them with the sword like 25 timesto unblock a mandatory path through a story missionif i'm just gonna google the whole game why bother playing it at that pointif its fun it shouldnt need a wiki up with it the whole time

cruelty squad. but after dying a few dozen times i'm slowly starting to enjoy it.
>>738110035It seems like that because we've been too busy actually playing it to post about it
>>738141701Say what you will about the game's quality, but we had lorefags dissect every game line, and we had people pick up reading again because of this game. Whether all the effort that went into deciphering the game's story is misguided is another thing entirely.
>>738108112To post about something other than 'uncslop', Fortnite.Kind of fun for like two hours but how zoomers put hundreds of hours and dollars into this shit is beyond me. Arena or sandbox shooters, even extraction shooters are superior.
>>738108112Im too autistic to care about other peoples opinions thoughbeit
>>738139006EE uses a "modern" writing style which isn't what I expected, but the world building and characters are fucking great.
>>738143415Define 'modern'. Simple? No long, flowing sentences? Rick & Morty humour?
>>738143534Modern as in mostly modern verbiage and cadence to how they speak. The humor is like this. I enjoy it.
>>738139006>Not that it's particularly good by literary standardsIt is particularly good. I think people have a tendency to judge the top 20% of prose by the standards of the top 1% which is unfair. The writing in DE is top notch in general , nothing about it is ground breaking or revolutionary in its quality but it's still quality regardless. Its got good cadence, tone, rhythm, the shifting of syntax and vernacular based on character is very effective, consistent overall authorial tone, uses complex language while not being verbose, and while the style is reminiscent of other authors like Pynchon is still well executed. Theres really nothing wrong with the writing, its all good.

>>738119613Same
>>738108194While I loved my initial play through, I feel that a large portion of my love for it came from the energy surrounding that release. It was peak COVID, and everyone was playing it. Even people I knew who had never played a souls game picked it up and were actually progressing. It was just so fun to be able to turn to literally any gamer I knew irl or online and be able to compare how far we both were in the game, what build we were running, discuss our favorite boss fights, or ask for advice on how to beat a tricky boss. The open world really intrigued me on my first play through, but a few years later I beat it again and tried to explore more of the world this time but it just wasn't special anymore and I realized just how copy/pasted everything felt. It really does feel like the nu-zelda overworld in several parts. I also feel like the trash mobs in dungeons in this game were all either completely overtuned, or died in 1-2 hits. The overtuned mobs weren't even worth it because of how little souls they gave you so I ended up just running past most of them. The mandatory bosses were mostly all pretty good though, I just wish more of the optional bosses were original and not just reused movesets from earlier games. While I still think it's a great game, I no longer think it's even a top 3 fromsoft game. I think for me it's gotta be DaS1>DeS>Sekiro
>>738108112This is the result of people using "peak" for things they think are 6/10 rather than 11/10
>>738108112Persona 5 :(
>>738144128Maybe I'm just spoiled. My last 3 reads were Pynchon, Gaddis and Nabokov, and I remember having an internal debate about whose style I enjoy the most. DE is miles above what I would be capable of producing.
>>738144240I posted that to show the humor and vernacular, not really the prose.
>>738110576The tank that you are supposed to one shot with whistling arrows?The gameplay is 7/10, but it's 500 hours of 7/10 gameplay and the world is 11/9. Within next year, the gooks will have added more gameplay than tranny cuckold US devs do in 61 years.
>>738128129Those are authors. They write entertainment. >b-but everythin i like is art!!!!Artfags get the rope
>>738145239Fair, its a tendency most people have which revolves around a negativity bias. DE writing is top notch not just for video games but writing in general despite bot being in the top 1% of /lit/ or anywhere close to it
>>738108326Peer pressure is socialism.
