people who pay more than 30 dollars for a game are getting scammed. [not unpopular]
30 dollars is perfect price for a quality game imo
$30: fairly new physical game
$20: old (not used) physical game

$10 or less: old digital game

it did have some very good tracks though. a lot of the ones brought back for the later games end up being some of the best tracks in those games.
but tbh, actually PLAYING that one today, its mechanics haven't aged super well. and it doesn't particularly have any sort of charm that maintains its age. it's just a generic-looking 3d mario kart game. the bare basics.

does it annoy you in the persona games? goowan
not as annoying as boring i guess goowan
or at least they would be if it wasn't for the battles and (often) the music
otherwise, honestly, i think they'd gain from being pre-made
then at least maybe they could put some puzzles in there
[spoiler]if i don't have to slide blocks on an icey surface anywhere in the game i'm dropping this shit baddood;[/spoiler]
my only experience with randomly generated content was with four swords
my problem with it is that while it's capable of creating a virtually infinite array of "unique" maps, that uniqueness is really only very superficial, at least as it appeared in four swords, and while it's fun the first few times around it quickly becomes quite easy to notice the frequent repetition that is the nature of procedurally generated content

because skyrim is made with zero care
and no matter how many assets and variables they pack into no man's sky they'll only be delaying the inevitable
at some point, it'll run into the very same problem with its procedurally generated content feeling increasingly banal over time

those might as well be procedurally generated considering devs can only either optimize for quality or quantity, and bethesda opts for quantity

game mechanics of the future
i think they are great because if the game mechanics are good you can play them forever
[spoiler=not necessarily unpopular but probably contestable game opinion, also tl;dr]
the metroid games (or at least the 2d ones) would be virtually flawless if not for the arbitrary scattering of valuable item upgrades about the map, which imo interferes with otherwise fantastic pacing
i was wary of first playing super metroid because i feared that frequent 'backtracking' would be an ever-present turnoff for me
i actually ended up finding the backtracking element to be non-invasive and extremely efficiently implemented to the point at which i would hardly refer to it as backtracking at all, and now i believe that the fact that the games aren't strictly linear adds to the sense of satisfaction one derives from gradual progression through exploration and discovery
but oh my god, the random placement of important but non-essential items
maybe it's just me and i suck at video games, but in order for a novice player to collect enough missile/super missile/power bomb/energy tank/etc. upgrades to be comfortable with actually moving forward, it's necessary that the player either:
1. shoot at/bomb absolutely every cell on the grid
2. consult a guide
both of which hinder the pacing of otherwise astoundingly well designed games
this is also one of a few big issues i had with skyward sword too, though it's even more extreme in that game thanks to the fact that one both has to discover and activate a goddess cube on the ground and then go wasting precious minutes searching around for it in the boring and utterly pointless sky
skyward sword would be vastly improved were it not for that
i know that arbitrary distribution of important but non-essential items is pretty much a staple of gaming at this point, especially metroid, so i don't actually expect that to change anytime soon lol
but i do wish the process of obtaining those sorts of things were less arduous, as it's generally the low point of any game for me[/spoiler]

i think that fox is a lame smash character.
or more specifically, i dont like playing as him, and by association wolf or falco
I only dislike fox when someone picks him just to spam his laser from the edge in a 4 man game so you have to chase him the whole match
I like any character with a spike so Falco is better to me
falco and wolf are much more fun to play than fox imo.

Well the fact that the game scales to you is a big part of it, and so is the fact that you need to steal magic from enemies to actually use it goowan It's sloppily done and all around bad.
valid point for themagic system, but i liked it actually. and while the junction system is poorly explained, once youlearn it its pretty cool.
i dont agree about all around sloppy though

and if you found v to be somewhat boring, it's probably the only one you'll ever find to be worth putting more than a couple hours into lol
"somewhat boring" is not quite how i'd describe how i feel about gtav on its own, mostly just a way i'd describe the way gta games are built in general
it's like...in gtav, i like the characters a lot, i like the interactions between them, the heists and the stuff leading up to them are really cool. and it's a fun game to just goof off in.
but i have a problem with the mission-based structure of rockstar games in general. it's disjointed and repetitive. it makes an otherwise interesting big open sandbox world into "drive along the yellow line" or "drive along the yellow line AND don't get caught" whenever you're not, well, shooting dudes.
not to say that games in general aren't repetitive and samey when it comes down to it. but what you're repeating in rockstar games isn't all that interesting to me.
the reason i liked rdr so much (compared to gta games) was largely because its setting and story.
all in all i like gtav quite a bit too but i can't get around the fact that it's still a gta game.

i have yet to play mgs5
but quiet is the nastiest, rankest, most obvious piece of dickbait in the history of human entertainment media and i have always been absolutely embarrassed for gaming as an industry that such a blatant bit of fapbait could be prominently featured in the promo material of an otherwise p. serious game at its core
i know her story
i was REALLY hoping, and trusted, against all odds, that there would be so, so much more to kojima's """words and deeds""" comment than there turned out to be
i wanted to be ACTUALLY ashamed of thinking she looked so damn stupid
But once the reviews started pouring in and I realized what the man actually meant by that, I vomited and dissociated myself from """gaming""".
um this thread is for unpopular opinions, not widely accepted ones (outside of reddit of course, they don't count)
"""She""" makes me physically ill.
Mgs5 sucks
mgs5 had dope trailers tho
and quiet ruined every single one in which she had an appearance
quiet should have been a naked dude with a huge dong who wore a sock over his cock then we could have avoided this mess
Why can't we just skip to nudity and everyone gets over themselves O_0

Why can't we just skip to nudity and everyone gets over themselves O_0
realtalk™ tho:
i am not morally opposed to nudity/lasciviousness/sexualized fanservice in video games when it's contextually appropriate
examples of games in which such content is contextually appropriate:
- mass effect
- the witcher
- the dead or alive series, even (it never pretends to be anything but pure fanservice), and other such cheap fanservicey fighting games
even if i personally still cringe and squint during a lewd scene in mass effect or witcher, or avoid a game like dead or alive like the plague, such content still has every right to exist if there is an audience willing to pay for it
my real issue with """quiet""" is that she is
horribly inappropriate considering the overall context of the game
quiet is cheap trash """fanservice""" that pretends to be something more meaningful than that
she's an idiot dressed like stripper in the middle of a desert with a retarded """backstory""" to weakly justify her existence
Quote from: C.Mongler on April 27, 2017, 06:17:24 AM
um this thread is for unpopular opinions, not widely accepted ones (outside of reddit of course, they don't count)
i'm just a little offended that kojima apparently seems to think i'm some low-functioning ape who buys even serious games exclusively with his dick
but the fact that """gamers""" everywhere seem to love quiet for some reason (she must be one of the most popular female characters of the 8th gen) must mean that, in general, kojima is correct: the average """gamer""" is a low-functioning masturbating ape
[spoiler]
the only other explanation is that ""gamers""" celebrate quiet en masse as some sort of a message against the omnipresent sjw boogeyman from a high-tier japanese dev, but that would be extremely ironic because quiet's actually not shy about about taking men down a
nut notch or two in game
...i mean, this scene exists
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UEuQpj5MCs[/youtube]
lol[/spoiler]
I think we should just accept that Quiet isn't necessary, and neither is MGSV.
i mean i still very much intend to play it one of these days because it's metal gear
but i will hate myself for doing so every time i'm reminded quiet exists
You know, after playing Zelda more, I hate to say it, but botw is en route to becoming my least favorite zelda title.

of course, this is absolutely true, and i would say it's a popular opinion among the fraction of souls fans who aren't delusional
unfortunately, they are only a fraction
you're right in that there's a big moronic circlejerk about how dark souls is le hardest game ever, but the sorts of suckers who make that outrageous claim are desperate, insecure nerds who define their self-worth in life by their performance in video games, and are bragging by proxy when they claim a game they successfully finished is the hardest of all time

he's honestly not too hard so long as you don't let him intimidate you
the common strategy of hiding in a corner and taking opportunistic shots at him leaves the player much more vulnerable than they need to be
i made that very same mistake in my first playthrough and it took me quite a while to beat him using that method
but as i learned in my second playthrough, if you just rush him and behave as aggressively as he does, he staggers a lot and goes down rather quickly lol

I can try
[spoiler]1. I'm not a fan of the breakable weapons. I know you constantly get more, but there's an inherent problem with relying on picking up weapons as you go; you can't settle on one combat type. You have to be comfortable with using swords, boomerangs (which suck), giant two-handers, spears, etc. Maybe I just wanna use a sword dangit.
2. The open world is a bit TOO big. It seems weird to complain about this, but it's an issue for me. Mainly because exploration, mostly just getting around, is not all that fun to me. Navigating the map usually boils down to, find a tall cliff you can jump off to paraglide around with. And don't get me started with climbing cliffsides and the FUCKING RAIN!!!
3. Speaking of climbing, it's too slow. This is more a nitpick than a genuine complaint though.
4. This is probably the biggest thing personally; there's like, no damn story in this game. It's all pretty much optional if you want something, but even then, it's not even very interesting. I know most Zelda games have little, or simple plots, but they were usually enough to carry me along. This game isn't doing that for me.
5.I feel that it relies too much on the "survival elements" to remain compelling. Like, to try to keep you immersed in the world.
6. This point is a little more vague, but it simply does not feel like a Zelda game. I can't fully explain easily what I mean, but when I pick up a Zelda title, there is a certain feel that I expect, and I don't get it here.
7. After doing a couple Divine Beasts, I'm kinda sad that there's no "real" dungeon (yet) in the game. Even the divine beasts just feel like a shrine, just.... a bit bigger. They're more complex, sure, but they're over pretty quickly.
Basically, in summary, I still think it's a good game, but I don't like it as a "Zelda" game [/spoiler]
I'd still recommend you play it though, as I am most definitely in the minority here.

Wat how is PS4 not worth owning it's been killing it with games this year

this is a decent list
I have last guardian, nier seems good but not a system-seller, not that interested in nioh, bloodborne looks fantastic but I am absolutely terrible at souls games and already find them scary enough so I don't think I'd actually play the game
got me with unch4rted and horizon but there's only 3/4 games on that list worth it to me and the ps4 has been out for 3.5 years
I mean hey I almost had a PS4, in fact David's has been sitting on my desk since TLG game out (and he's never expressed any interest in having it back) so in theory I could just get the other 2/3 games I don't own (well, David has Unch4rted so I guess just 1 or 2 games) and not have to spend $300
Well see, if you already have a ps4 lying around, of course you wouldn't be interested in getting your own.

they have historic and nostalgic value, but no practical value as tools (
if their games are easily accessible on newer platforms, which is the case for most retro gaming hardware today)

in my eyes, yes while many nes games are available on newer hardware, or emulator (nes is just an example) there is nothing quite like holding that classic nes controller
so it has nostalgic value lol n_u
old hardware is also valuable if you happen to already own games for the old hardware
but to go out of your way to buy old hardware and old games for old hardware when you could much more easily and cheaply buy the remakes and ports and remasters and digital versions that are widely available on newer platforms seems like a needless expense, unless you truly value the nostalgia/history factor

"chosen" was the wrong word
tracer was painstakingly designed for the role of blatantly obvious, maximally efficient cheap marketing trollop from the ground up
laboratory manufactured with the quirkiest™ personality and trendiest™ characteristics possible to ensure mass appeal and irresistibility to normie suckers
whereas pikachu is just a charming innocent fat rodent
he has no ulterior motives, as far as anyone knows
but tracer is the digital equivalent of a shrewd, pushy, artificially """friendly""" used car salesman
i am sickened by what tracer represents
all they had to do with tracer was make her voice actress tone it down a little and have her stop giggling at everything and she'd be fine IMO
imma get it and play as her to spite you guys
she also has the absolute least interesting æsthetic design of any member of the cast, male or female, by far

and then they made her gay, and made everybody mad
1. anyone who was upset over that is dumb
2. but blizzard completely expected and desired for that to be met with outrageous controversy
3. equally retarded as the outraged folk were the ones who then bought the game to spite the outraged folk
4. thus maximizing tracer's utility as a ruthlessly efficient, utterly soulless, poorly animated marketing algorithm
Who was mad that she was lesbian?

it's not really the length i'm bothered by
it's the fact that it contained not a shred of new information
it was merely a well-animated version of the very same story we'd been given in the weeks
before the last of us even launched, through the prequel comic books
the dlc should have been something new rather than merely a 1:1 reenactment of something we already knew
[spoiler=tlou spoils]
at the very least, they could have given us the satisfaction of seeing how ellie and riley coped with fate
and the absolute most interesting thing they could have done with that story is allow the player to witness as ellie came to the realiziation that she wasn't changing at the same rate as riley, and then deal with the emotional consequences of that
instead it just cuts to black with barely any more than a 'yep we're fuck;
ed lol'
it's just so redundant and seems so unfinished[/spoiler]

i'm not saying the dkcr games are bad
but they're barely anything more than basic sidescrolling platformers
you know, the sort of game nintendo itself could have whipped up in a week
so why did retro specifically have to develop dkcr, when their talent could instead have been leveraged to do something a little bit more unique than a standard sidescroling platformer
they had well proven themselves to be more capable than to be relegated to that basic assignment
which is why i say that simple projects like dkcr and mario kart, good as they may be, are a waste of the unique talent retro once had
i will humbly disagree, the DKCR duology are the two of the best platformers nintendo has produced in decades and wouldn't be so if they weren't developed by retro IMO
like compare NSMB to DKCR. judge, i rest my case.

and the reason i prefer tatl to midna is because, despite their superficially similar personalities, she's actually exactly the opposite of midna lol
tatl wants nothing to do with you except to taunt and thieve along with her worthless brother and the skull kid, so she acts as an active accomplice as you're knocked the fuck; out, robbed of your dearest belongings and turned into a wooden newt
and in the process of forcefully preventing you from pursuing the skull kid, she ends up getting separated from her partners in crime
and they don't even care lmfao
they don't wait a single second for her to catch up, and by the time you get through the door a minute later they're nowhere to be seen
her own worthless brother would rather follow the skull kid like a dog on a short leash than waste even a minute on reuniting with tatl
and now she's stuck with you, desperately begging for your forgiveness because she has no choice but to submit if she wants any help cuddledoods;
and as it dawns on her that she will be stuck with you for longer and then even longer than anticipated, she gradually softens to you throughout the game
in tp's case, you are broken into being midna's servant over the course of the game, and she treats you like a mere pet throughout
in mm, tatl is broken into being your servant over the course of the game, and she becomes your pet dog on a short leash
just as she deserves for introducing herself to you with assault giggle; giggle;
Idk, regardless midna is just more interesting to me.
Tatl just bugs me, and navi is devoid of anything interesting
You're points are valid, but this is just how I feel. You know, at least midna has a complex backstory. Not that tatl doesnt, i suppose but It helps for me.
Besides, midna and link become pretty much equal partners by the endgame.
Which, I guess, so does tatl...
Idk I just prefer midna

the big reason, which I am pretty sure you don't agree with, is the story. Besides me thinking its better, I really think the presentation adds a lot to it. The movement of the characters as they talk, and many interesting scenes in general.
The gameplay itself I feel is better. The dungeons are better (mostly).
The good music tracks stand out more to me than in ocarina.

really the only thing better about twilight princess is the combat

idk if this is unpopular but the enjoyability and general quality of every mega man game i've played (1-3) drops considerably once you beat all the robot masters
the sudden prominence of parts that require special items/rush items turns the game's focus from tight jumping and shooting to shitty resource managing. if there's guaranteed weapon power drops in a level and you fuck up after picking them up, then you might as well repeatedly kill yourself to start the section over and get those drops back. it's not fun. also, the wily castle bosses are usually very forgettable or poorly designed.

yeah it just turns the stage into final destination.
Moving stages are far more fun than stationary stages.

i genuinely don't understand what people don't like about demon's souls' ending sequence
well, you'd kind of expect there to be a tough boss fight inside this ancient eldritch abomination that the game's been building up the whole time. instead you get an easy fight that serves more of a narrative purpose than a gameplay one. i like it, but i totally understand why most people don't.
it's that exact subversion of the player's expectations that i think makes demon's souls's's's ending so effective
i think it should be pretty obvious that the real final boss is doppelganger allant at the end of boletaria, everything after that is basically playable exposition
but the point is to create a crystal clear contrast between the once incredibly powerful king allant at his height, and the literal slug that he has become since succumbing to the unfathomably corruptive power of souls
he hasn't just become weaker than he once was, he's become the weakest and most pitiful creature in the entire game, and you, the player, would be a complete fool to think that you can handle souls any better than he did should you, too, succumb to their temptation by choosing the bad ending
idk i love it lol, it just says so much without relying on text or cutscenes
it's a great part of the reason why i think demon's souls has BY FAR the best plot of any souls game, or bloodborne

You know, after playing Zelda more, I hate to say it, but botw is en route to becoming my least favorite zelda title.
Now THIS is an opinion I don't want to hear. >.<
could you provide an utmost generic, sanitized, spoiler-free explanation of why you are beginning to feel this way
as it's a zelda game, i'm pretty sure i already know the answer, but i just want to make sure
I can try
[spoiler]1. I'm not a fan of the breakable weapons. I know you constantly get more, but there's an inherent problem with relying on picking up weapons as you go; you can't settle on one combat type. You have to be comfortable with using swords, boomerangs (which suck), giant two-handers, spears, etc. Maybe I just wanna use a sword dangit.
2. The open world is a bit TOO big. It seems weird to complain about this, but it's an issue for me. Mainly because exploration, mostly just getting around, is not all that fun to me. Navigating the map usually boils down to, find a tall cliff you can jump off to paraglide around with. And don't get me started with climbing cliffsides and the FUCKING RAIN!!!
3. Speaking of climbing, it's too slow. This is more a nitpick than a genuine complaint though.
4. This is probably the biggest thing personally; there's like, no damn story in this game. It's all pretty much optional if you want something, but even then, it's not even very interesting. I know most Zelda games have little, or simple plots, but they were usually enough to carry me along. This game isn't doing that for me.
5.I feel that it relies too much on the "survival elements" to remain compelling. Like, to try to keep you immersed in the world.
6. This point is a little more vague, but it simply does not feel like a Zelda game. I can't fully explain easily what I mean, but when I pick up a Zelda title, there is a certain feel that I expect, and I don't get it here.
7. After doing a couple Divine Beasts, I'm kinda sad that there's no "real" dungeon (yet) in the game. Even the divine beasts just feel like a shrine, just.... a bit bigger. They're more complex, sure, but they're over pretty quickly.
Basically, in summary, I still think it's a good game, but I don't like it as a "Zelda" game [/spoiler]
I'd still recommend you play it though, as I am most definitely in the minority here.
it's so unfortunate that you turned out to be completely correct about all of this
in fact, i may be even more bitter about botw than you are awdood;
Yeah, it's unfortunate....
Btw, what's the the popular opinion on Marina vs pearl?

i honestly think that dark souls 2 is the most difficult game in the trilogy, certain boss fights notwithstanding
and while i generally dislike the soul memory mechanic and have mixed feelings about enemy extinction, i do appreciate how those two systems work together in an attempt to make every single soul meaningful/valuable, and make the loss of souls all the more devastating
there aren't any consequences for losing souls in the other games, aside from the loss of the player's time

you should play the ps4 version
judging by the little i have played of it, it's absolutely the most punishing dark souls game
well gee since this is the unpopular opinions thread and you guys started talking about dark souls, i'll use this opportunity to mention this probably very unpopular opinion of mine:
not only would i not mind a legitimate easy mode, i want one
by legitimate i mean you select it in the options or at the start of the game and the enemy attacks deal less damage
and/or you only lose half your souls when you die
you can already turn dark souls into the easiest game ever if you have an internet conncection

man, ALBW is so fuckin good
Quote from: YPrrrr on August 14, 2018, 12:36:59 PMYeah i thought it was just going to be bleh ALTTP again but it's really good
hot take: 95% of the reason botw is good is because alttp is good
i like albw but it's just
waaaaaaaaaaay too conservative
it's basically just alttp in 3d + wall-merging gimmick
i was hoping it would greatly
expound upon alttp's world rather just 3dify it in almost the exact form it appeared originally
if albw had come out five years after alttp rather than over two decades later, there would rightfully have been valid complaints about it being far too similar to alttp
ok that's cool but the game is still fucking great
bitch
i mean yeah i agree but it's basically just piggybacking off a superior game 95% of the way :|
yet despite (and perhaps even because of) that it's still the best zelda game we've had since ww over ten years prior to albw lol
but i still wish it had been more

in the same way that albw is largely only good because alttp is good, albw also can't be too bad because alttp isn't bad lol
unless you thought alttp was bad, in which case you'd simply be wrong
it's just a little unfortunate that nintendo had this great new opportunity to dramatically expound the already brilliant world of alttp and just... didn't
they basically just 3dified it
it just feels like there was a great deal of missed potential there

i don't want to risk being a sticky animal all day after eating smth
eating an orange or grapefruit requires a large table, a sharp knife, a large plate/cutting board, running water, (paper) towels, soap, a silk bib and a helmet

i guess it has its own charm, but no denying that the 2d zeldas that appeared on the snes and gba are way better looking

agreed, but I still like ALttP's aesthetic. I just really love the GB/GBA Zelda aesthetic a lot.

there's no disagreeing with this, minish cap is easily the best looking 2d zelda lol
i guess it's just surprising that anyone would have any particular issues with alttp's graphics
even if other games look better
Gaming was best when I was most invested in it
hot take: brawl's rendition of stickerbrush symphony is just unarguably superior to the original by any metric aside from nostalgia, lol
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGTpNjkqst4[/youtube]
nope
Yeah no.
The guitar fucking ruins it the second it enters and the song never recovers
the guitar is actually cool but i agree that its not the definitive version
Does anybody prefer the Returns version of stickerbrush?
Tropical freeze specifically?
subspace emissary >>>>>>>>>>> world of light. fuck the haters
Quote from: Nyerp on January 04, 2019, 05:49:25 PMsubspace emissary >>>>>>>>>>> world of light. fuck the haters
I actually thought the same thing
Nah, World of Light is better than Subspace. Platforming just doesn't work quite right with smash.
Smash Run was pretty cool though.
Subspace is pretty much a beefed up adventure mode.
At least. I always saw it as such
smash works far better with platforming than it does with rpg/gacha bullshit
Besides, you're platforming nearly the entire time while fighting anyway, unless you only play on boring FD stages.
Quote from: Snowy on January 04, 2019, 06:41:15 PMi didn't like either of them tbh
i really just wanted something like melee's adventure mode

Quote from: Snowy on January 04, 2019, 06:41:15 PMi didn't like either of them tbh

this. i didn't like subspace, and i didn't really like world of light either. they're both just boring slogs.
personally, if it were me in charge, i'd try something that's sort of a mix of melee's adventure mode and smash ultimate's classic mode. character-unique adventures that are neither too long nor too short.
Quote from: SloppyJimbo on January 04, 2019, 07:08:45 PMPlatforming just doesn't work quite right with smash.
imo, "platforming" is not the actual problem with subspace. the actual problem is that most of subspace is simply running from the left to the right in boring, unimaginative, copy-pasted stages past a ton of boring, unimaginative, copy-pasted enemies.
in a game like smash bros., there's no real way to "standardize" the construction of a level. because every character you can play as is completely different. so as a result you get this boring generic stuff that just sort of fits every character.
so i really think character-specific adventures and challenges is the way to go. which smash ultimate does with its classic mode. and honestly? its classic mode is great. but!! the same ideas could be applied to a full adventure.
Yeah that sounds good.

wow u mash square but the enemy has decided to start blocking in the middle of your combo and you can't do anything
wow it's a boss fight who has shitloads of health and blocks or dodges all of your attacks so you have to just brute force it with healing items
literally the only satisfying thing is mowing through a group of thugs with beast style

i don't entirely disagree, it IS very repetitive and i wish there was more variance in heat actions
but you can definitely mix it up a lot more than you're describing. sometimes switching between styles on the fly is actually a lot more effective than staying in one. and you also didn't mention weapons at all which have their own movesets and heat actions and actually make bosses way easier.
but yeah, combat in brawler games is always pretty repetitive for sure
Now I kind of want a Yakuza arcade-style beat em up

Quote from: Nyerp on August 25, 2017, 09:36:08 PMobjective markers is a game "mechanic" that was born out of sheer lack of creativity and its usage is usually a good indicator that the devs didn't give a fuck about designing an interesting world

oh i think i was playing the witcher 3 around that time. yeah the strength of that game is story content/graphics/vibes, the open world is just kind of there lol. i do really like witcher 3 tho
i was gonna say lol
Quote from: Nyerp on August 25, 2017, 09:01:10 PMthe witcher 3 may have decent writing but that doesn't save the game from being more boring follow-dotted-lines-and-inspect-map-icons tripe. i'm so fucking sick of this type of game and it baffles me that it and all of its clones still get glowing reviews.
Quote from: Majorana's Incantation on August 26, 2017, 12:52:15 PMhonestly, it sounds like you (and everyone else) have open-world fatigue lol
playing the dlc later on elevated my opinion of it i think. along with red dead redemption 2 being the most boring open world game ever, which made witcher shine in comparison lmao
too bad i don't trust cdpr with anything after cyberpunk 2077 tho awdood;
here's an unpopular opinion: they could release a dozen more studio trigger anime adaptations and cp2077 will still never be anything but mediocre
Quote from: Nyerp on August 26, 2017, 08:04:27 PMidk if this is unpopular but the enjoyability and general quality of every mega man game i've played (1-3) drops considerably once you beat all the robot masters
the sudden prominence of parts that require special items/rush items turns the game's focus from tight jumping and shooting to shitty resource managing. if there's guaranteed weapon power drops in a level and you fuck up after picking them up, then you might as well repeatedly kill yourself to start the section over and get those drops back. it's not fun. also, the wily castle bosses are usually very forgettable or poorly designed.
.............yeah i agree actually

i dunno if this is unpopular but i am begining to fucking loathe the walk-n-talk not-cutscene. the type where the game removes the ability to use any rapid movement mechanics and you and another NPC just walk slowly side-by-side until the conversation is complete, at which point you can move like normal again. every AAA game has them at this point, but just been on my mind having done my 60th walk-n-talk in god of war ragnorok lol. idk I guess they are easier to do than a traditional cutscene since you're leaving the framing of the scene up to the player n shit like that, but please can we just have normal cutscenes back at this point

I just dropped Elden Ring after about 63 hours and I can now confirm the 2022 GOTY was Tunic.
......but why putindisapproves;
yeah why did you drop it, you were almost halfway through
because i was tired of finding new weapons i wasn't going to use and new spirit ashes i was going to use and new ashes of war i wasn't going to use
After 63 hours, I think I've seen what the game has to offer. And according to the video essays I watched about the game, apparently I'm right considering the amount of repeat bosses and tedium the late game seemingly consists of.
I had fun, it's a great game, but I don't need more of this tbh
truuuueeee but i kinda want to know how far you got in terms of shardbearer (big) bosses

twilight princess has (much) better motion control swordplay than skyward sword does
that's not even a hot take, that's just like saying a link to the past has better motion control swordplay in that it doesn't lol
yeah i mean ultimately waggling is annoying but waggling to control an otherwise really good swordplay system (basically wind waker plus cool extra moves) is obviously better than skyward sword's convoluted forced shit
when you're using a gamecube controller, tp has the best swordplay in the series imo
i honestly didn't mind skywards goofy shit in the switch re-release with the non-motion controls
though using the non-motion controls had their own problems lol awdood;
