There's a confusing microgenre of atrociously bad games that people pretend to want sequels to. Shenmue is the obvious example where an extremely vocal contingent spent most of their adult lives demanding a sequel only for the 3rd entry to sell less than a thousand copies. Beyond Good and Evil is another example. Where it deservedly flopped upon release for being shit in literally every aspect and were they to make a sequel it would also flop despite imaginary demand. Any other examples you can think of?

I actually agree, I didn't think this was a good game at all. It was very much a 4-5/10 game. It's amazing what a very generic "cute" girl can do to your below average game.

Red Dead Revolver was shit

>Red Dead Revolver was shit
God damn I'm so fucking tired of nintendrones and segaheads talking shit of games their consoles didn't get like kill yourself my man

>>12656843
1. That doesn't really qualify as a 'genre', micro or otherwise. In fact, these are usually just called cult hits or something.
2. Why do you care? Why should I? What point are you really trying to make?
>>
>>12656843
Beyond Good & Evil was loved by the gaming press.
>>
>>12656843
just console players who never knew better and then grew up
>>
>>12656865
That's a lie, you revisionist scum.
>>
>>12656843
I beat this game several years ago and I only remember 3 things about it:

The photography mechanic was actually neat and well thought-out.
The stealth was annoying.
Playing air hockey was VERY annoying.

I literally can't remember anything else about it. That should tell you all you need to know.

Calling Shenmue and BG&E "atrociously bad games" is ridiculous hyperbole.
>>
>>12656889
t. xbox dude
>>
>>12656902
Shenmue 2 and BG&E were multi-plat so I'm not sure what you're getting at. Just gonna chalk this thread up to retardation and move on. Both games are perfectly fine experiences but Shenmue 1 is much better than BG&E.
>>
>>12656865
What the fuck does that matter you moron.
>>

>>12656912
I played BG&E on the Gamecube. It worked really well with the GC controller from what I remember.

Why does this game make people (or one person?) seethe so much? It's just a nice, fun action/adventure game with some decent features. I like it much more than Twilight Princess.
>>
>>12656854
You are an utter faggot. Revolver mogs all the open world Redemption slop "games" which you worship.

The only Western game that's better is GUN.

I understand being bored by Shenmue but calling Beyond Good and Evil a bad game, let alone atrociously bad, shows a thirst for attention and willingness to just bark about anything to get it. You're a waste of life, kid, seek euthanasia.
Normal weight people don't act like this!
>>
>>12656843
There's no way someone could be bored playing this game. It had everything, combat, stealth, racing, photo taking, etc.

>snoy tard the moment a very mediocre ps2 game is called mediocre
Hole rent free

>>12656843
Yeah. Everybody who likes those games are just pretending. I really believe you genuinely think this (I’m pretending that I really believe this).

beyond good and evil 2 had two different concept trailers that were heavily promoted at e3, one seventh gen and one eighth gen. it's more so infamous vaporware than just fans begging for a revival.

All the journos cumming in their pants because the protagonist is a girlboss that's not "girly pretty" is a big foreshadowing for what exactly those sort of people in charge of reviews wanted to do to the industry

>3rd entry to sell less than a thousand copies.
Why are you lying? Is it because you’re a faggot?
>>
>>12656843
Jade looks like Alyx Vance transported into TF2. She even has team colors.
>>
>>12657543
I agree. Seething about identity politics like a female protag while ignoring the gameplay, art direction, and level design IS pretty emblematic of how absolute dog shit online game critique has become.

Here's a suggestion: go to /v/ so you can scream about women with a bunch of other sexless retards who don't even like video games that aren't gatcha waifu shit
>>
>>12657057
Never played BGE, is the photo taking something like Wind Waker where you can at least turn it into a routing challenge? Or is it a fake moviegame mechanic where you only use it in the specific ways the game wants you to for progression?
>>
>>12657601
It's mostly just an optional extra thing but IIRC there may be some missions where you are supposed to photograph specific thing
>>
>>12656882
Objectively wrong. I remember it making several top games of the year lists.

>>12657616
IIRC, there was one where you photograph something disturbing in a factory setting and leak it to the inhabitants of the planet or whatever. Investigative journalist spy thing. Very french.
>>
>>12656882
I also remember critics praising beyond good and evil at the time. The guys on judgement day loved it
>>
it's news to me that people didn't like beyond good and evil. i know it wasn't massively popular but that tends to have little correlation with whether something is good

GOO GAME IS ACTUALLY BAD
>>
First games weren't bad but the sequel was or would be a dissapointment:
Duke Nukem 3D
Star Fox 64
Goldeneye
SotC
Killer 7 or any other Suda game
Old-school Resident Evil
PSO

Yeah bro the protagonist of an action game should be frail and submissive.

It's pretty easy to spot someone who arrived at 4chan via /pol/ and ignore all their opinions. They're all one note posters who basically run off a NPC dialogue tree so it's easy to BTFO them in arguments if you want to treat your time as if it has absolutely no value. You can predict exactly what they're going to say to you so coming up with a response is dead easy. They speak in memes, political buzzwords, and slurs. They never had an original thought in their lives. They all have the same insecurities too. Regardless of their age it's the exact set of insecurities held by a teenage boy who hasn't lost his virginity yet. You just target those and they get flustered.
