post your hottest /v/ takes
God Hand is the best beat em up of all time
women have no place in game studios besides voice acting
Video games... on /v/
There is some merit to censorship in games.
I think anybody should be allowed to make whatever game they want, if you don't like it don't play it and move on with your life
>>746107597I cant stand that generic female american accent that modern VA's do. i blame tara strong for starting that shit.
Gacha should have its own containment board called /gc//vmg/ is an absolute failure
Games with voice acting are automatically bad. Grunts and other noises are acceptable, otherwise no exceptions.
Emulation is not as widespread and embraced as /v/ thinks or wants it to be.Nintendo is remaking its games because the originals are 30 years old and kids today never played them.
roguelites are just convoluted slot machines
Marvel's avengers game is underrated and needed more time to cook.
>>746106914Splinter cell: Blacklist is a valid entry to the series, yes Michael Ironside was absent and Briggs was not a necessary character (though he saves Sam at the end spoilers lol)
>>746106914"twitter thread" should be in the report form / an automatic permabanFFXIII AND Dark souls 2 are good>>746107845thisthats all I got right now
The government should not regulate videogames.
Prime 4 was goodboth re4 are good
>>746106914Mine was "Morrowind is genuinely a bad game."However, now that Todd is no longer a sacred cow, I don't get a lot push back anymore.
>>746108756It's a visual novel with short combat encounters.
There was no reason for graphics to evolve past the PS2
>>746107738I will cut you
video games are a great way to have fun
>>746108789This is actively in bad faith. How is it a visual novel if there's little text/dialogue compared to MOST games, including latter parts of TES?You seem to be implying there's no gameplay, how is there no gameplay?
>>746107842Tara Strong is a great voice actor and a MILF
>>746109121it's 90% reading, 10% going somewhere else to read moreunless you know the game by heart, of course
>>746106914japan is equally as pozzed as the west
>>746106914The backlash to "Woke" in video games is 100% astroturfed nonsense that grifters and jews made bank off of. Anyone who's political life peaked at Gamergate should kill themselves.
>>746106914Ehm... *tink tink* NIGGERS
>>746109243only a hot take among children and /pol/chuds, Japan and Asia in general have always been very accepting of LGBT behaviorChina loves BL, Japan has lots of crossdressing in its culture, Thailand has ladyboys, koreans are korean...gender issues are common in basically every old shoujo manga, and they are an integral part of the manganime industry
>>746109215There are dungeons and rpg mechanics and spells and exploring and shit. Reading is like 50% at most, and I'm trying to being generous here to what is "reading".
so called "wokeness" doesnt make or break a game for me nor does it for most consumers. its at worst a minor annoyance and not a reason to grandstand and boycott a game like /v/ suggests. most people arent that invested in identity politics bullshit to care that much in either directioninversely im sick of the quality of discussion for said woke games being so dogshit because /v/ cant help themselves. people here genuinely need to learn how to ignore something they don't like.
>>746109565depends. if the WHOLE GAME is just pushing an agenda you can fuck off. if there is one lesbian and one brown character and thats some kind of problem for you you're over-reacting.balance.
>>746109565What a faggot ass opinion
>>746109467that is incomparable to the western perversion of trannies
>>746109467Yaoi and yuri are different from western gay and lesbian stuff THOUGH
>>746109397It's just a loud minority. Gamers will cry about black characters everywhere and then praise San Andreas.
>>746109830>It's just a loud minorityok blackrocknot taking this bait, now if you'll excuse me the game awards are starting
>>746109673if the whole game is pushing an agenda it's shit, it doesn't matter if it's woke or le heckin based
>>746109778no they're not and you're a faggot weeb who failed your parents
>>746110032Except they are THOUGH
>>746109673literally anything that prioritizes political messaging over an enjoyable product will turn out shit but those types of games are the exception. most games /v/ shits on arent dustborn levels of obnoxious by a country mile
>>746107597Nah, the women were present in devteams behind Tomb Raider and Street Fighter. The issue is uppity women. Just hire only timid and talented ones and keep them at minimum compared to males.
>>746106914The rejection of cool male character designs as fujobait is lame. Playing as a cool male character is more fun than playing as a slut with huge tits or a generic anime protag. People generally understand this with Dante so I don't know why there is such a pushback to males, especially in gacha.>>746109565I'm going to do you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are posting in good faith;"wokeness" is the cause and "bad games" are the symptom. A game being woke does not inherently make it bad as you point out, but the vast majority of games that are called out for being woke put identity politics nonsense at a higher priority than making a good game. The new Saint's Row is not a bad game because it is woke, it is a bad game because the mission design, writing/character motivations, open world, and general QI (bugs) are all garbage. The REASON that they are all garbage likely has to do with the people hired for ideological reasons being shit at their job AND the time/resources being allocated more to making fun of landlords and trying to appeal to millennials than to making a fun, satisfying game.Every game I have disliked in which I would mention the 'wokeness' is also a bad game from a mechanical/technical perspective. There are a number of games, Disco Elysium probably being the one I've played most recently, in which it is clear that the ideology stuff is a huge aspect of the game but the developers decided to put the world, player experience, and game design first and insert the idpol stuff second.>people here genuinely need to learn how to ignore something they don't likeThis is a flawed and stupid outlook when applied to changing industry practices. It serves as a heuristic when you are still in school because you generally lack the power to change the things that you don't like, but as an adult who actually contributes to society one of the primary axioms of modern democratic society is to work toward changing the things you don't like.
>>746106914Using save states is cheating I use save states
Tourists ruined this board forever
>>746109830>Gamers will cry about black characters everywhere and then praise San AndreasI know, almost as if there are nuanced differences between CJ and the average black person in games made after the 2000's
>>746107805as long as isn't a sequel, i agreeyou can do whatever the fuck you want with spinoffs tho>>746107845/vg/ is also a failure, we still have generals and the usual "500 threads shilling" (current example gta6)
>>746109565There are probably dozens of "woke" games I would've never heard of if retards didn't cry about them. They don't notice the amount of free publicity they're giving them.>people here genuinely need to learn how to ignore something they don't like.I think it all comes down to insecurity (not talking about the "woke" aspect but the threads).It's hard, and probably painful, to make a thread about something you love and have people shit on you for your taste, so people default to talking about things they don't like because they have no emotional investment.
90% of games would be better with character creation
>>746106914many modern games are still decent to good and people here let the culture war rule their lives, turning them into miserable husks of people that need to hate on everything because they have no community outside of this place and are desperate for affirmation
>>746109830i always considered SA shit
1) Every game should have a CANON difficulty that is prioritized by developer so the design stays consistent and doesn't disperse among several diffrent difficulty levels2) Battle passes and retention mechanics are all overrated, if someone makes game as good as Left 4 dead 2 right now, everybody would play it without constant fomo 3) Games should add more sex. Even mainstream ones, sex is part of life
video games are fun and i enjoy playing them
>>746110656default/normal difficulty is generally the only one that is playtested and closest to "canon"
>>746110332I like that idea that resources that go into mission design were being used on writing, when it's two entirely different groups of people doing those things in the studio. did the mission designers all just give up and become writers? it's nonsensical.
>>746110656>1) Every game should have a CANON difficulty that is prioritized by developerthats normal
>>746110767>>746110949source?
>>746110825Oh I forgot that money was actually infinite and hiring more writers meant you could hire the same number of programmers and QA testers without affecting the budget in any way.I guess I'm still remembering back before we became a post-scarcity society.
the majority of AAA games have always sucked
>>746111230there is no noticeable difference in the amount of staff between woke and non-woke gamesthere are only a handful of writers and coders who are paid more than their peers
>>746110332Hades is the most woke game I've completed and the gameplay was crispy smooth, how do you cope with that?
>>746111230you're just working backwards to come up with justifications to make your irrational obsession with wokeness sound more reasonable. you already have the conclusion (woke bad), so now you're just trying to wrap in some kind of rationale, and you're doing a bad job at it. if only life were so simple that all blame for all things could be laid at the feet of the minority group of the generation.
>>746106914>save states>rewind>cheat codes>passwords>glitching>infinite lives trickyou didn't beat the gamebut that's fine, you don't need to beat all games you play
>>746111015common sense
>>746111571I agree with these except glitching or infinite lives trickif it is doable within the boundaries of the game then anything is fair game, if the devs don't want me to do it they should've playtested more (for old games) or released a patch (for new games)>passwordsthose were a fun mechanic honestly, I don't think I would've ever beaten Zombies Ate My Neighbors as a kid without them
>>746106914Whether or not video games should aspire to be pieces of art, the VAST majority are not, even if they try to be. Take the absolute pinnacle of the games in terms of writing and it pales in comparison to the average book. Take the absolute pinnacle of games in art direction and it pales in comparison to the average film. Take the absolute pinnacle of games in terms of music and... okay, it wins over nigger rap but still.
>>746112607>average filmi dont think you have watched many average filmsif a banana in a wall is art. the shit in my bathroom is art anyway
>>746106914Metroidvania is peak single player game design.
>>746110657wtf
Jack Thompson was right.
video games can be art same as anything can be artif the creator says its art then its art, simple as. the constant debate over this topic is retarded and propagated by fart sniffing pseuds
>>746116161all art is slopthe creators think what they have to say or show is more important than anything made by nature so they must "create" something "new" while taking, it's pretentious
>>746117163you better be posting from a blank white room with zero decorations as you say this otherwise youre a retard
>>746117383I don't have any decorations, correct. My PC on my desk (zero neon lights, tower doesn't even have a window), a light, an old chair with a fan and a sofa from my grandma.I have a bookshelf with some old atlases and encyclopedias, that's as close as it gets to decoration.
>>746106914No one will hate browns in the game if you make the men cool and the women sexy
>>746122512if you have to be convinced not to be racist then the devs probably dont care about your opinion either way
As someone who's been playing since Demon's Souls, I think Elden Ring is FromSoftware's best game. I also think From haven't made a bad game yet, with my least favourite Dark Souls 2 being mid at worst.>>746111571In the words of some game reviewer I don't remember the name of right now, on the topic of playing on lower difficulties and using various methods to make the game easier...>It's fine, man, we're all busy.
>>746112607Video games are still art. A stick figure is art. It's just bad art.
>>746106914Gaming is under attack from theater kids. The death of film, television, and the stage transfers all the cancerous retards that destroyed those mediums to seek greener pastures. Shit like critical role is/was the dinner bell. You think games are woke now? You haven't even seen how lame and woke they will be once the film and television vultures arrive. They are coming.
>>746107597They don't belong there, either. We have trans women now, and trans women are unironically the best voice actors on the planet, with more range than any professional voice actor because they actually voice train.
>>746128538brother they've been here forever. Ratchet and Clank's narrative downturn in the future games can be directly attributed to the writers being hollywood stock instead of just game devs.
>>746128857Real and true, my ally
>>746128956It's going to get much much worse very quickly. Especially once AI slop really takes off.
>>746128956It explains how Ratchet steadily progressed from a sarcastic asshole to a stock hero
>>746110003>Blackrock>Not right wingkek. Why was Larry Fink on the plane, schlomo?
>>746129285yeah, though to be fair that transition started in the original series too in UYA. it just got much, much worse later on.
ai is a net negative to gaming and i can only imagine the people that shill it as the next big thing are financially motivated to do so because there are zero possitive attributes to it other than it being fast and easy
>>746130832coldest take in history
In order for the Sonic series to be passable, the devs must decide whether they want to COMPLETELY abandon speed or COMPLETELY abandon platforming. You cannot have both present without turning them both to shit, as you cannot go fast while platforming and cannot platform while going fast.
Metroidvanias are in serious trouble from starting too far from platformer design and leaning too much on combat. Even worse, they’re bloating the fuck out of these games with RPG light inspired systems that makes everything tedious and convoluted. Progression is the laziest way to design a game ever and makes for a linear, slower moving action game than a metroidvania. Here’s my remedy.1) Finding, not grinding. Currency, crafting, and character skill trees are the three cancerous polyps. Every item made or bought removes one more incentive to explore.2) Save for secrets and the final area, the entire map should be accessible. This does NOT mean making the game’s difficulty even throughout. Some areas can be much harder than others. Struggling? Go somewhere else, come back later. Simple as that.3) Level design closer to a platformer than an action game. This means death pits, environmental hazards, and object gimmicks and enemies to aid movement. This will also force much greater variety in enemy behaviors.4) Keep it short for replay value. A inexperienced player’s first time playthrough should take no more than six hours to 100% it. This encourages speed running and randomizer runs.
>>746106914hottest /v/ take, huh? probably the fact that i get easily aroused when anons post suggestive anime images of hot anime girls or start ERPing on a public thread on /v/. that gets me really hot and horny for some reason. does anyone else feel this hot take as well??
All voice actors should be shot.Yes, even the Japs.
>>746131415metroidvanias (the actual meaning of the term, being castlevanias that are styled like metroid) have never really been particular about the platforming really. at most you'd get the clock tower as the platforming centric area. the RPG progression is also taken directly from this games, which I'm fine with up until the addition of weapon upgrading and such. new weapons should be rewards for exploration, not rewards for grinding materials from enemies.
>>746131180Basically this. Pizza Tower does Sonic gameplay better than any actual Sonic game. Climbing ledges and mowing through enemies does so much to keep up momentum without making the game play itself.Also, it's got a level select and doesn't force you to restart the whole game if you miss a bonus level.
GTA series is boring.Super Mario 64 is horribly outdated, and started the horrible collectathon genre.
>>746131180Haste is the blueprint for 3d sonic
>>746109565>its at worst a minor annoyance and not a reason to grandstand and boycott a game like /v/ suggestsWhy not? Seriously, why not? If your game features political messaging, if your dev team and PR team is constantly signaling political messaging, if you use your studio to signal boost polticial messaging, why wouldn't your potential customers counter signal for other potential customers who are against said messaging not to buy it? That is a partisan game you decided to engage and play, now deal with the consequences. The problem is that game devs want woke games without a shred of opposition, and in some circles they've acccomplished, at least internally, leading to death spirals of toxic positivity and groupthink that result in disasters like Concord, Hyenas, Highguard.I genuinely cannot fucking understand how in 2026 people are still trying to play the "erm just ignore it" card. Mock it, voice your complains, let developers know you don't want products like these, ENGAGE WITH THE MEDIA LIKE A RESPONSIBLE CUSTOMER, don't just be a blind doomer or a consoomer.
“Choose your own difficulty” touted as an intentional design feature of Souls games is jap wank. You can apply the same logic to practically every RPG and Souls games don’t even do it well. They’re practically Morrowind tier with how you just stumble on OP shit and have to choose to intentionally not use it if you want to maintain the same experience. That’s very different than an RPG with actual classes and limitations beyond some starter stats where choose your own difficulty actually makes more sense as a framework.>I found a better sword so I equipped itSomething completely taken for granted in basically every other RPG but leads to hours of video essay analysis drivel when Japan does it or seething that you cheated for equipping the better item. The games are still good but the way people talk about them is completely retarded.
I genuinely have less respect for any westerner who's favorite games are all anime shit. Especially as an adult, if your favorite games list contains a bunch of "comfy" cutesy moeslop or the most generic looking JRPGs of all time then youre an actual sinpleton.
>>746132791because political messaging is not that big of a deal my dude, twitter is not real life
>>746133040Well, they decided it was a big enough of a deal to include it, and like any other aspect of a videogame I'm free to call it out. It really is as simple as that.
>>746133015Ditto, but for people who like sports or CoD games. Most braindead people on the planet.
>>746133213>everything included in every game is a big dealyou're just addicted to being angry on 4channel.org
>>746132791because there are fucking mountains of games coming out every year without any of that shit you could be buying and playing instead of complaining about the games you dont like. on top of that, i personally dont give a shit if a game has pronoun bullshit or gays or whatever so long as the games good. i dont tie my enjoyment of media on whether or not it affirms my worldview at every possible instant. youve really just outed yourself as someone that cares more about focusing on the dogshit than playing the actually good games
Easy modes are fun, actually
>>746133343>>746133437I bet you two faggots pretending to be above it all aren't even playing videogames as you seethe at me for not wanting to engage with political spergery in vidya, lmao
>>746107597Yoko Shimomura is a great composer. Pic rel also helped design pantsu before squeenix got pozzed.
>>746133015Ditto, but for people who like dark and gritty games. If their favorite game's cover includes a muscular man I just assume they're gay.
>>746133739>i dont want to engage with political spergery but i sure will discuss it till my lungs go bluedo you see why i think this is retardedits like the tards insisting how not interested in gta6 they are despite making constant threads. im not playing that shit and i havent entered a single thread for it because i dont carei think im just generally opposed to performative disdain, going "attention everyone, i do NOT approve of this product because xyz!!!" is gay no matter what side of the spectrum it comes from. just play the shit you do like and enjoy life
>>746134409i agree with youespecially retarded shit like chuddha, which is complete "look at me" performatism
>>746134409I don't discuss it, unless it's a literal trainwreck and people are gathering to point and laugh at a trash fire in which case I'll be there during the first week when it's still funny ribbing, I just don't see the problem with people wanting to advertise the fact that x game is woke or has devs who hate Whites or Jews or darkies or whatever. As I've said, it was a concious decision to step into the realm of partisan politics, there is absolutely nothing wrong with people who are against it to signal it, as is for me to completely ignore your product after I do a modicum of research to see if the shit /v/'s saying holds any merit.
The new god of war series is the most overrated piece of media every created and has forever ruined 3rd person action games.
>>746132090I can’t stand the term, but it’s stuck for marketing purposes. I don’t want to look at this from the Castlevania series because that’s too narrow. I like Symphony of the Night, but it’s almost thirty years old and I think its flaws are readily apparent, the biggest being its awful level design full of hallways and jumping back and forth to ascend. Not to mention the use of spells and animal forms are undercooked and niche in their usage. Dozens of weapons with trivial differences. The cumbersome fast travel. The bosses are brain dead and can be melted within seconds through an easy damage per second race. And so on.I would argue that RPG-lite progression systems, movement tools and a lack of the usual hazards in level design found in platformers/action games make metroidvanias EASIER than both when it should arguably be harder on average since players need a knowledge of both genres to acclimate quickly.
>>746134846again, signalling that a product you already have no interest in contains opinions you disapprove of is performative and faggy. i literally cant think of a single instance where knowing of a games wokeness or lack thereof was a deciding factor in my buying it. its literally what twitter does when a game has a big titty bitch in it.i will agree its fun to dump on an abject trainwreck, and as a fighting game fan theres no shortage of those. 2xko being a flop was incredibly funny to watch just because of how grossly mishandled that game was, it really is fascinating
>>746134950not a hot take on /v/
>>746135653What happened with 2XKO and did they ever explain why they chose that fucking atrocious name?
>>746106914Most of /v/ are larpers.Boost Sonic is fine.You should never spend more than 5 dollars on any F2P on a bi-monthly basis.Master Ninja is not hard, its tedious.>>746110332>Playing as a cool male character is more fun than playing as a slut with huge tits or a generic anime protag. People generally understand this with Dante so I don't know why there is such a pushback to males, especially in gacha.That's just a gacha players thing.
Zelda is one of if not the most overrated series in the entire medium. Most games in it are lucky to be 8/10. And yet it's paraded around as God's gift to gaming.
>>746135653Good for you, meanwhile I've had a few passing interests turn into fading ones, and buys turned into pirates. Not many, but hey.>signalling that a product you already have no interest in contains opinions you disapprove of is performative and faggyI mean, the motives behind the inclusion are performative and faggy, so of course the response to it will be similarly performative and faggy.
>>746109191...in fucking looneyland
>>746136590Addendum to this: Zelda is a poor man's Xanadu. Not a single creative bone behind Zelda's development.
>>746136590Minish Cap is a 10 otherwise hard agree.
>>746133040If it isn't that big of a deal then why does it bother you when people point it out?
>>746136487theres some blogpost the devs made explaining their dogshit naming decision but i dont have the linkiirc it was just called 'naming is hard' or something
>>746137138NTA but on /v/ it often supercedes any actual discussion of the game that might've been possible otherwise
>>746133739if even the most outrage addicted retard can have two monitors what makes you think someone who actually like videogames wouldn't as well?
>>746137607Hey man, don't be so hard on yourself. I have one monitor btw
>>746135025>metroidvanias EASIER than both when it should arguably be harder on average since players need a knowledge of both genres to acclimate quickly.actual metroidvanias are pretty easy yeah because you can just get bigger numbers for bosses but plenty of people can hop into the indies of the broader genre without having played like, super metroid just fine really. I imagine for alot hollow knight was their first exposure to the genre, and that does a decent enough job at onramping people while also witholding the ability to grind.
>>746137765>he's a one monitor fagno wonder you think everything is such a big deal, you can only look at one thing at a time
>>746106914Games like until dawn and dispatch tell stories far better than tlou and gow 2018. They way studios blend story and gameplay never makes any sense.
>>746106914Fallout 3 is as good as NV, for different reasons
outside of his constant use of analogies that are unnecessary to emphasize his points Mork is literally right about everything he brings up in his videosvideo games were always better when they were made by japanese developers who cut their teeth on arcade game design then transferred those lessons to home gamingevery single bad thing about modern gaming is because of western devs, you literally can't refute this
>>746139701I dunno eastern skinnerboxes are some of the most diabolical things I've ever seen in the medium.
>>746132358More games needed to follow crash or sonic for 3d game design.
To insert myself into the conversation, I get what >>746109565 is talking about and it's been going on for a while. Back in 2016 when Fire Emblem Fates released, any and all discussion of the game was completely drowned out by the censorship. That was all anyone talked about. And yes, the censorship was bad, but if you played the game, official TL or otherwise, there was way more wrong with it or in the case of Conquest, a very salvageable game. To go through a mental exercise, let's say Fates came to the US uncensored. No dumbass name changes, no ..., no removal of swimsuits or skinship minigame. I'll throw in a bone and give it dual audio too. Is it a better product now? Yes. But what actually changes for the game itself? Birthright is still mind-numbingly boring, Conquest still has the worst story in the series but top 3 gameplay, and Rev is still a clusterfuck. And those elements are what people who played the game, official TL or fan TL that still had JP elements, actually want to talk about. But it was impossible for a large period of time because people kept harping the same WHERE'S THE FACE TOUCHING GAME TREEHOUSE?It happens in non-vidya as well. Magic is another instance. You cannot talk about the game now without someone bringing up black Aragorn. Is black Aragorn bad? Yes. Would the game be better without it or if Aragorn was white? Also yes. But it is so far fucking down on the list of things that are actually making magic bad, such as terrible balancing and rushed design and other things that made me leave years before this was revealed. And yet this gets talked about so much more frequently. It's not even a playable card. It's exhausting past a certain point.
>>746106914Deltarune threads are fine, constant however the stealth threads due to the lack of conversation pieces (theories, plot talk, character lore talk, gameplay tips etc...) are not.It's the reason why chapter release threads are fine.>but other threads do thisI have yet to see a PEAK stealth thread, a DW stealth thread, ENA, AHiT, Sonic Thread, etc.
>>746141162If it's anything like umamusume, the stealth threads exist to try and avoid getting instantly shot by the mods who delete clearly labeled threads on sight, not because they want to talk about deltarune and other topic because there isn't anything to talk about.
>>746106914Straight guys are a plague on the industry (and world). Girlbosses, female protags, etc. All a result of straight guys.Either through:>Simping for a female dev>Simping for goonbait characters>Rejecting male anything unless it suits your fetishesIronically this line of thought is what ends up producing AGP, then progresses further into more degeneracy.Faggots have more integrity then straight guys.People are perplexed why society has become so gynocentric but then throw melties over some dude being inserted into their gachawaifu simulator.
>>746141958straight guys are the majority of the population this is more of a simp/redditor problem with the industry and how it's in the dark ages. These nerds basically allow more and more women from simp naivety which eventually lead to the feminization and trooning of game devs and majority game studios. While they're also forced by some governments due to zog involvement
>>746138185That’s what’s bugs me. Grinding means trivializing the entire game since players are tempted by the thrill of being unstoppable. How do you balance each and every area for what level any player might be at? Then you have to balance weapons and enemy health around that, too. It sounds like an absolute nightmare for no good reason. Make it so most enemies win the exception of a few can be taken out in just three hits or less. Then they can find an upgrade to their main and only weapon later that makes it so a major dangerous enemy that could take eight hits now only needs four, two becomes one. Saves the player a ton of time if they find it. And tuck that away in one of the hardest areas. Skilled and stubborn players can tough it out to get something great early on. Or maybe just have it do more damage only to bosses to not make the rest of the game too easy.
>Nintendo has never been good apart from some second parties>Emulation will never count as playing the actual game and therefor your opinion on said game matters less>Gameplay isn't always the most important thing in a videogame
>>746143092>How do you balance each and every area for what level any player might be at?Do what Final Fantasy VIII did and have every enemy level up with the player.

I had a good one but it was so hot, everyone agreed and it just ended this whole argument about Persona.People used to go on about how being unable to select what attacks you wanted in Persona 3 and 4 when fusing was better than being able to select yourself in Golden and 5 and so on. My arguement was that people would just go ahead with the attack setups they wanted anyway, by unselecting and reselecting the Persona they had planned to fuse over and over, and the only difference between that and the latter was four hours.People argued the former was better for YEARS and it was so fucking stupid and now nothing, no peeps about it, after I came in and called them out on the pointless tedium of their gitgud mode. Yes I DO think I deserve a medal from 4chan, thank you very much.
RPG mechanics bring down almost every single non-RPG game they're in.
>>746142819Straight men were really the worst thing that happened to humanity.Ancient Rome revered the male form. Men were in charge and powerful.Now straight guys figuratively and literally put women on a pedestal because somewhere along the line they got it beaten into their heads that anything manly is gay.Soon we are going to follow footsteps with asia. Their women think anything masculine is gay and only want androgynous men.God forbid if you want link to look like a halfway masculine twink. Nah, he's gotta be an androgynous femboy for females and goonbait for men.
>>746106914>save states>rewind>cheat codes>passwords>glitching>infinite lives trickyou beat the game
>>746107738 Explain your reasoning
>>746143790This is just blatantly true.
>>746106914i... i actually kinda liked concord. I do get that people disliked it but it didn't deserve to be shit on that much. It was fun and could've lasted 3-4 years easily...
I don't know if this is a hot take but in general modern games have better gameplay than retro games.

>>746139701retarded weeb detectedi bet you like gacha tooremember lootboxes were invented by the japaneseand it's not like home video games were ever solely developed by arcade devs!
Indie Metroidvanias don't need a corpse run mechanic

>>746108175It's not even that consoles like GBC are lost technology... They could just re-release it with modern components and I'd bet nostalgiafags will buy them on the spot. The main difficulty would probably to reproduce the display with enough fidelity.
>>746137138Because hes a disingenuous faggot. The most maladjusted retards always retreat to some sort of "touch grass" stance. They cant argue without double standards and dismissiveness. You gotta be such a retarded to be even a little bit tolerant of woke shit in anything really, but much more so in a product you spent money on. Like yeah im gonna waste money and time on a game that was made by incompetent loser conformists parasites that migh as well have been made with AI its so generic and devoid of anything fun or interesting. "Oh wokeness doesnt affect gameplay" as if the retarded mongoloid hiring policy stops at the creative/art department. As if wokeness isnt just corporate bootlicking made into a pseudo religion. As if these trannies werent the perfect consumer goyim. Anyone that had even a junt of passion got laid off a long time ago. Its not a coincidence these faggots are all thats left in western studios. Like it'd be one thing if these games were actually fun. We're talking about the most normgroid time wasting garbage people only play because of marketing hype. Because being hyped and playing the hyped game is the whole point. Its not hard at all to avoid woke games. I haven't played a single one. Thats because games that look like shit im not gonna play, no matter how many niggers and 3rd worlders are shouting about it on social media.
>>746144112nice paragraph but you're a faggot
I don't think there's actually any real paid shills here, maybe indie developers trying to promote their games here from time to time but that's about it.

A digital library is much better than a physical one.
