Any game that sells itself on aesthetics is not worth caring about.

Tears of The Kingdom was a glorified DLC and should be priced at least 6 times lower than it is currently. The hype around the "game" was manufactured and the praise artificial, everything it introduces cheapens what made BotW good in the first place at worst or is a small distraction at best. It doesn't add enough quality content to justify a playthrough since BotW was already pretty hard to replay, what little it adds would probably add like 15 hours of post-game content to BotW if it was a DLC.

Games are more fun when they’re objectiveless sandboxes, have a very broad or abstract ‘objective’ to work towards over an extended period of time, or have enough side content unrelated to the main objective to justify playing the game without the intent of doing the main objective >>744648736Disagree>>744648865Agree>>744648764Disagree

Silent Hill's gameplay is unfun bullshit and the only reason these games are liked is their aesthetics (which are undoubtedly kino).
>>744648734disagree
Too much water is legitimate complaint. It was just not fun to play in that pokemon game. The dumbest are people that say: "but earth surface is like 70% water". So fucking what. 99% of people live on land. And none of it changes that its simply not fun.

There should be more goonerism in video games. I want cute characters! I want to imagine myself in-world holding hands with those characters! Gaming is an escapism. If a game has cute characters, I will buy it.>play a gachaI said "games". If your gameplay can be automated with a single button, that isn't a game. I have fucking standards. Devs can find a way to give me cute anime girls AND a fucking game.

I don’t think that games which require modding to be fun (ie every Bethesda game) should be discredited because of it >>744649216Agree>>744649247Agree

There's a constant drive for sex appeal in video-games, because video-gamers are mentally ill losers who have destroyed their brain & their dick gooning to porn. >>744648715Disagree.
Roguelites are actually a fine compromise because it's the only way to make a game that forces you to replay it due to difficulty like the NES era without running off the modern player that expects to always make some kind of tangible progress beyond personal skill.
>>744649623Disagree
>>744648560The "lowest common denominator" will take what they are given. They fact that they gladly eat slop doesn't mean that they wouldn't eat non-slop if it were given to them. Pandering to them is artistically and commercially unnecessary.
>>744648560Chrono Trigger is the most overrated mediocre piece of shit videogame of all time
>>744649623Disagree. There was heavy sex appeal in games decades before porn was widely available.
>>744649623Disagree fag
I really don't mind if the game is "woke" as long as the gameplay is good.
>>744649418Agree>>744649382Disagree. >>744649623Agree, but this has nothing to do with video games. There's a drive for sex-appeal everywhere. LOTS of people are porn-addicted, men and women. Let me take you over to Booktok and introduce you to Morning Glory Milking Farm rq. Let me take you to the gym and introduce you to the amount of people hitting roids to look more sexually appealing. Let me take you over to fucking bikeriding and show you the communities dedicated to lusting for bikers with helmets.

RPG means that the game mechanics test the skills of the character, not the player. Any game where a good player can drive a bad character to success is not a role playing game, it is an action game.
>>744651389Agree

Modern goyslop woke tranny games have ruined the enjoyment of basically all games but also most old games don't run properly or have shitty remasters so you can't even play and enjoy those
>>744649007DisagreeThis opinion was maybe true some decade ago, and only reason why it seems like it today is because video game writing is poor and doesn't hold up. But because of how highly immersive a game can be, if it has proper writing & gameplay, can give you a better experience than a great film or a great book
>>744649170Disagree
>>744653449disagree
>>744648560Indie games are insanely overrated. They're coasting off of the goodwill of players who still buy into the "AAA vs. indie" paradigm instead of allowing games to stand or fall on their own merits. One of the most popular "indie games" recently is a glorified fucking mobile game.
Witcher 3Hollow KnightAre both extremely overrated and everyone who says they are the best or one of the best games of all time is just cattle parroting opinions off of the common consensus.
>>744654481Hard agree
>>744648560Most AAA games are IGN-7/10-It's Okay when you wait three years and buy them for fifteen bucks. It's hard to be that upset when you pay under 20 compared to 70 and the truly bad ones you won't even buy because you will have been warned.
Molding the gameplay loop around the narrative instead of the other way around is inherently bad game design.

There is nothing wrong with having women characters in video games that aren't over sexualized coombait.Not saying they should be ugly tranny bait, but they shouldn't just exist to be damsels in distress either.
>>744655539Agree
>>744649007DisagreeThe sub-boards should be merged back into /v/ (besides /vg/).
The tranny infestation of /v/ was inevitable given their colony on /LGBT/, frequent overlap of hobbies with the autistic nerd sphere that covers the type of gaming /v/ prefers, and their discord grooming groups that frequently target lonely anons
>>744649271Agree x 10000000
The right can't make video games not because they are censored and oppressed by the left, but because they don't have the talent or brains for it.There isn't a single right wing/child/unironic nazi coded game out there because they can't program, they can't write, they can't compose, they can't design, they can't draw.The peak of chud games is Ethnic Cleansing and that scat porn RPG game

>>744648560Losing pvp games are far better teachers than winning games and you're better off playing it out than trying to rush to the next game where you have another chance of pull off one of the few ways you know to win.
Gacha is predatory but I don't care. If you treat a pop-up screen asking for your credit card info like it's basically corporate mind control then you don't deserve your money. You'd paypig for something else if gacha didn't exist so you may as well keep the game I play for free well-funded.
>>744649658The issue is the shitty metaprogression
>>744657927gacha games also suck as games
>>744658038Yes they do.The game isn't the point, it's the story and characters.

Games should facilitate imagination, not replace it.
>>744658681That's not how that idiom works dumb gachanigger
>>744649658Disagree.
>>744657927Since Gacha games are predatory, they immediately deserve zero respect. Why respect and play a game that doesn't respect you? That should end the argument right there, but let's keep going.>>744658127> The game isn't the point. It's the story and characters.You are the reason why Life Is Strange won so many fucking awards. You are literally poisoning the hobby with your continued participation within it. Because of people like you that are willing to say the gameplay doesn't matter in a format that exists only because of the gameplay, we're now seeing increasingly cinematic garbage take the electronic shelves. Companies now believe they can get away with selling a movie because it has the occasional button press.You are why Mixtape exists.I'm not going to tell you to kill yourself, but, please put your money in something else that isn't a gacha game. You are rewarding predatory behavior. Kindly fucking not.Oh, the point of the thread is agree / disagree.I disagree with your existence in general.
>>744658615Supporting predatory practices, blaming the consumers, setting up ideal world standards is retarded. You're siding with the guys who ran cigarette ads with doctors, who fund fraudulent studies to support their businesses (like that time they said alcoholism was es entirely causes by genetic factors), and who are working hard 24/7 finding ways to fuck your brains up and blame you for it.But part of your coping mechanism seems to be that since you're not paying then your alright, and that by endorsing it you're somehow above it while being a gacha consumer.You are like a beaten wife.
Levelling in campaign-based MMO's (WoW / FF) should be completely optional. I should be able to play any class I want at any time at max level with the same level of power I have on my "main". Imagine forcing someone to play through HL2 before they can play L4D with their friends. Time gating end-game behind a campaign is absolute brain damaged>but people won't know what they're doingPeople are already completely brain damaged at end-game of MMOs regardless of a campaign and we have better metrics to determine the skill level of a player.Also, cosmetic rewards should stop dropping as soon as that patches content ends. If you weren't around to do that content at its intended difficulty, you shouldn't be able to get that item. People who run legacy content for content that has a drop chance are lifeless losers who are no different from retards who open lootboxes. The only difference is that the cost is time.
>>744658779Agree. One of the main reasons old games (and new games styled to look old) are still appealing stylistically, I'd argue.
>>744655000disagree

RPGs with guns should not have any perks or stats that straight up make guns do more damage. What sense does it make for you to just shoot harder?
Games that feature NSFW shouldn't be persecuted and should be allowed in every store.
four niggas in a row games are an outdated concept that was a necessary genre due to tech limitations and is only used nowadays as a crutch by uninspired and lazy devs
I've never heard a valid argument against lootboxes / battlepasses that contain cosmetics.I get all the gameplay and updates for free (or extremely low cost) and there are no community fracturing game releases / DLC packs. There is near-infinite maps and updates possible.If the community makes the skins / maps they even get a cut of the revenue.
We need more nonlethal vore games, or at least games with internal vore levels.
>>744658615Kids shouldn’t be allowed to have devices until they get to an appropriate age, 16. Even then, they should still have restrictions to the internet and online spaces since they are not developed enough mentally to make smart choices. They should be outside, they should be moving, they should be exercising their brain. There is literally nothing online for them. The spaces that were made r for them they don’t want to use or a lot of perverts flock too (castrate those faggots and chop their hands off).

>>744660421Whichever one Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle & Bastard Bonds ripped off. I liked those games
Dark Souls 1 PvP is goodBitching about backstabs being intolerant to lag is fair, bitching about backstabs as a mechanic is just a skill issue and the game on PC was always far less laggy online than on consoles further reducing the lag issue. It's symmetrical to both players, not difficult to get good enough at and makes moving close your opponent extremely tense in PvP but favors good movement and whoever can better control and unlock their camera at the right time instead of just relying on the lock on.Overall the builds feel somewhat less same-y than the ones in DS2 and DS3, including metabuilds or almost-peak-meta builds.Played a bunch of PvP in all Dark Souls games but easily liked it the most in 1.
>>744660190I think that multiplayer games feel stagnant because microtransactions have allowed them to continue being profitable for decades. there's no need for studios to innovate when they can just make small changes to the games they've already made and keep bringing in boatloads of cash. Plus, lootboxes in children's games is immoral.

It's good that censorship exists because the average consumer is a retard who will go insane if he's exposed to too much unmoderated content.The internet is living proof of this.
>>744661227Depends on the kind of censorship
>>744660613>I think that multiplayer games feel stagnant What? People like updates. It keeps the game populated. Game stagnation comes from a lack of ideas on new titles, not long term support.>Plus, lootboxes in children's games is immoral.Parents not parenting properly isn't my concern. Low barrier to entry, populated, unfractured community, long term supported games that are free/close to free is a benefit that lootboxes / battlepasses provide and there isn't an alternative solution that has these benefits that generates enough revenue to warrant the support.

>>744648560The reason why most games are “woke” is because most right wingers are either incompetent or actively scoff at the idea of making art. There is nothing fundamentally stopping conservatives from creating successful indie games as seen with people like Scott or factorio’s dev and if you’re concerned about consumer backlash that’s a different issue.
Most Nintendo first party games are good, and that makes them easier to hate than Sony because actual good games are locked to Nintendo's shitty overpriced hardware while Sony's output is all overproduced cinemaslop shit.
>>744662048Disagree, but Tooie is still a great game
FPS = mouse and keyboard3rd person = controller
People who think that an IP is what makes a game good (e.g. GTA 6 will be good because it is GTA) are the reason why good game IPs are ruined. Good example is Bethesta games, had gamers called out Todd Howard when Skyrim came out you wouldn't have gotten Starfield.

JRPGs built around the late 80s / early 90s had a superior formula (direction light, story light, exploration and party customization heavy) than JRPGs of the 2010s and 2020s (narrative heavy, spectacle heavy, customization light, guided and linear progression)

a franchise who lost more than 50% of their original creators is at that point a glorified fanfiction living only thanks to the reputation and name the original founders built from the ground and therefore nobody else should keep supporting said franchises, even more if modern iterations disrespect or disregard the original lore just to catter to "modern sensibilities", I rather see the franchise die than see the new pretentious twats at charge mutilate the franchise beyond recognition, examples: Blizzard/World of Warcraft, Ubisoft/Assassin's Creed, and I'm so well sure the overhyped GTA VI is going to be the case but normalfaggots are so brand capture that they are going to treat it as the 2nd coming of Christ.
>>744662562Agree
>>744662948Fuck the rules, how is this supposed to be an unpopular opinion except by cattle?
>>744662416Really big DLC is still DLC.
"Visible displays of skill" in the form of individual actions which are easily spotted and understood, are massively overestimated by pseuds who don't know what being competent at something actually looks like. This covers almost everything that a casual observer can identify and label such as combos, tech, special moves and gimmicks, everything a commentator can easily call out, everything you might hear about in a youtube guideThe reality is that in any competitive activity of sufficient depth, what makes someone genuinely good almost always comes down to subtle decision making and thought processes which are invisible to a casual observer. When a really good player considers 50 different variables and then makes a decision based on that thought process, their understanding of their opponent and their thousands of hours of game experience, the decision they make may well be "Take 2 steps forward then wait". When this happens a casual observer can see nothing besides a person walking forwards and stopping. They do not see any of the thought process, they do not know if this is a good decision or not because they aren't juggling any of the variables the player involved is juggling. Good decision making is invisible, and since good decision making is most of what makes someone good at something, this means that SKILL IS INVISIBLE to almost every onlookerIt is because you refuse to accept that skill is basically invisible that you cling to the little things you can see. You know that this fighting game player does a big combo, that must mean they're good. You know that this action game player does some obscure tech, that must mean they're good right? It's a cope and you are all coping
Western developers should abandon console development wholesale and stick solely to PC.

Rhythm games are one of the best genres because of the huge gap between its skill floor and ceiling while remaining fun throughout the entire skill range.

Palworld's designs have been blatant knock-offs on the tier of something like 7GrandDad in terms of how much they actually innovate or change the "inspiration" designs taken from other games.People pretend not to see it because they haven't kept up with modern Pokémon, so they genuinely didn't know, and don't want to feel stupid when it's pointed out to them, or because they like open world slop and played Pokémon once as kids and they never actually liked the RPG elements, grew up and stopped playing, and now they act like the pokemon games still being RPGs instead of open world slop (At least in the sun and moon era, before gamefreak gave into these types of fans) was a fault of the franchise and not just because pokemon should be an RPG and not an open world game for people who don't actually like the pokemon gameplay and just imagined a different game as kids before growing out of nintendo games just to return as an adult and demand every franchise be changed to open world garbage.

The older you get the more it makes sense to get into competitive games. Hero shooters, fighting games, anything with a type of online ranking. Life is too short to spend playing single player games.

Not really a hot take but if your difficulty is just a stat multiplier you may as well only have one difficulty.
Gameplay is KING. Things like story, music, and atmosphere are completely irrelevant window dressing and should be ignored or relegated to a brief footnote in a review unless the audio visual elements are part of the gameplay loop itself.

From a pure gameplay and game design perspective, most old multiplayer games were not better than what we have now. They were held up by people feeling free to be themselves and be social.

The genre of girl games is probably bigger now than it’s ever been and it’s a good thing. I’m mostly talking about the weird ‘cozy’ genre that seems to have silently popped out of nowhere spawned by Stardew Vallley and similar games. Lots of weird cleaning/organizing games. Friendslop to some extent as well. I’ve realized that a lot of girls self segregate themselves and stay away from the male dominated games and just play cozy games. In the past /v/ would have probably made fun of these girl gamers for playing such casual and meaningless games, but the fact that these games keep them out of male dominated games where they can ruin things for men is objectively a good thing.
>>744656651Disagree.
>>744671105agree
>>744670932Disagree, also you're a retarded nufag.
The average gamer is incredibly stupid and we need all the handholding the devs are willing to give us. Sparkly shit, yellow paint, arrows that show you where to go, mounts that auto pilot you towards your objective. Without that shit most gamers would complain that the game is shit and wasted their time because they’re too dumb to figure things out for themselves.
>>744671489Disagree. Normie series like Silent Hill prove that you don't need yellow paint.
>>744671629How are you going to make objects yellow without yellow paint, STUPID?
Halo is an arena shooter with more fun map control than quake/unreal.
Objectively speaking THPS is probably the most /v/ video game series of all time. It’s almost purely gameplay. The later games have somewhat of a story. But overall /v/ values gameplay over stories, music, and any other fluff. That puts THPS in contention for the best video game of all time. Top 10 at the very least.
>>744648724disagreeI went into it assuming exactly this, but I was pleasantly surprised with how good it was in comparison to botw (they fixed basically all the issues), how much new content they added, and how the building mechanic which I thought would be a soulless gimmick was actually really well implemented and made shrines a lot less repetitive
JRPGfags/weeblets are obnoxious and have shit taste in videgames. If you removed them the whole board would increase in quality tenfold.
Great Bay Temple is arguably the best 3D Zelda dungeon ever designed.
VR was a good idea held back by the fact that is was too expensive. Which led to poorfags to shit on it due to sour grapes. Which then led to middle classfags to join in on shitting on VR and not taking the chance to try it out themselves. Which then led to devs not putting money into VR games which then led to the circle of people hating on VR for having no real games.
>>744656007Most games that aren't blatantly left-wing are right-wing. Hell, even Mario Sunshine is about a white tourist cleaning up a foreign island paradise that the locals are too retarded to clean up themselves.

Dismissing a good game just because it contains sexual or highly suggestive elements is not a valid argument.If a game is objectively good, it won't cease to be good just because it features suggestive or sexualized character designs.Just ignore it and move on.

Video game graphics really don’t need to get any better. We’ve hit the point of diminishing return years ago. I flip between Killing Floor 2 and 3 and 3’s improved graphics doesn’t really add anything to the game. KF2 is 10 years old and still holds up. Overwatch is the same age and holds extremely well due to the art style. The PC master race shit basically ruined video games by pushing the narrative that we need more and more powerful PCs to chase perfection which again at this point has hit diminishing returns, meanwhile PC hardware has gotten more and more expensive and the AI shit that caught everyone off guard by jacking up hardware component prices has basically made the future of PC gaming uncertain when we could have just enjoyed where we were graphically 10 years ago.
>>744670717They're more rewarding since they're not filled with bloat that adds nothing to the core experience.

Sonic the Hedgehog won.
>>744673236hard agree. this is no different from dismissing a good game because it's woke.
>>744673605
>>744673605disagree
Sonic the Hedgehog is a conceptually flawed video game franchise.The main gimmick of "platformer where you can go fast" does not work because platform games live or die by good movement and level design. You should earn speed by being skilled at the game (See Mario, DKC, and Celeste speedruns). Sonic giving the player speed right off the bat is terrible as it lowers the barrier to entry and destroys the level design. This is perfectly shown in1: Sonic 1. The first level demonstrates the speed gimmick, but immediately afterward the player is forced to do precise platforming for the rest of the game.2. Any 3D Sonic. No 3D Sonic game works because the fast speed makes the game prone to glitches and jank. Note that Mario transitioned to 3D near perfectly, and people love speedrunning Mario 64 because you need to earn speed.Sonic is only relevant today because of autistic furries.

HGSS are mid tier pokemon games with shitty boss fights, a laughable story, weak trainers and a wonky level curve. They're only popular because of the Kanto postgame and following pokemon. Emerald, Platinum and BW2 are all much better.
>>744673392Agree, but to piggyback off this anon: General art direction and details > graphic fidelityFor example, I don't give a shit how realistic GTA 6 wants to look. If the city isn't lively, doesn't have memorable locations, good character designs, little details like retroreflective signs, it's kind of missing the mark.I should also add this depends on the type of vibe the game is going for. GTA, RDR2 and Cyberpunk's goal is to immerse the player in a different world, so little details like a boarded up window, soggy molded wood on an old building, or different streetlight styles for different cities really add to the immersion.For more "high gameplay density" video games such as Mario, Touhou or Hollow Knight, I care more about the execution of fundamentals such as player physics, level design, quality of life mechanics, game loop, etc.TL;DR:Gameplay fundamentals (controls, game feel, level design, etc.) > general vibe (art direction, character designs, world, music, etc.) > graphic fidelity (how realistic or skillfully done are the graphics)
>>744649227The problem of "too much water" is lack of context. The land routes have varied biomes and varied pools of pokemon to catch. Which is far more interesting than the water routes that not only look the same but also have very similar pokemon across all of them

Ocarina of Time is not a perfect game, but it is easily the most well-rounded of the 3D Zelda games and is overall a jack of all trades. Every future 3D Zelda does a couple aspects really well but always at moderate to severe cost of important foundational aspects of game design and/or Zelda identity suffering (often directly for the sake of those well-done aspects).
Lootboxes and gacha mechanics would be okay if you couldn't spend real money on them and they were meant to be earned in-game with a reasonable progression rate instead.

>>744648560FPS players and developers are some of the biggest self centerd faggots out there who not only don't play real videogames but most of them are either failed normalfags, failed untalented devs but also literal trannies.

The best games are highly focused ones. The ones that focus on just one or two ideas and take them to their utmost extreme. Games that try to be jack-of-all-trades almost never do anything interesting.
Gaming for prestige exists only to create a market for boosting services. Cheating in competitive multiplayer is moral because you deny charlatans business.
>>744662384Disagree and the 2000s middle ground between the two is actually the best.>>744662948>>744663284obviously correct>>744663452Nothing ever happens>>744664884Disagree
There's literally nothing wrong with watching walking simulators on jewtube, take mouthwashing for example. You are more or less getting the same experience

Tokyo Mirage Sessions is a good JRPG. I very much enjoyed my playthrough on Hard.

>>744648560Most video game reviews/retrospectives/analyses are horribly ill-informed and pretentious. The most valuable insights on games come from interviews with the developers or arguments built upon those statements.-Also-The fundamental flow of "movie games" are that they don't take advantage of games as a medium. Games can have good writing/presentation, but if the gameplay boils down to occasional quick-time prompts and walking through areas that are impossible to fail, the game gains nothing from being a game in the first place.>>744648636Disagree>>744649854>>744658779>>744658954Agree
