wut u want a medal for being literally wrong??
Graphics are your tool to achieve an art style which in turn a tool to create an atmosphere.
You can use your tools wrong. So your graphics can look good while ALSO resulting in the wrong style that creates the wrong atmosphere for what you wanted in the first place.
>You can use your tools wrong. So your graphics can look good while ALSO resulting in the wrong style that creates the wrong atmosphere for what you wanted in the first place.
This very sentence means that art style and graphics are two different things. The technical tools you use are separate from your vision (art style).
Good tools with shit art direction will result in bland visuals that look polished but utterly uninteresting and forgettable (99% of AAA releases today).
Shit tools with good art will likely result in a borked, fricked mess which some players might consider soulful.
if you call yourself a gamer you probably aren't one thoughie

Those are just the party line for your side though
Sure, but by the number of responses, they're the most unpopular opinions in this thread
is a shit mode of production when making vidya.
?
the industry's greatest games have been made under capitalist conditions, and I doubt you can name anything great that was made under any other conditions
>b-b-but le workers
as recent years have shown, workers make better art when under pressure of time and budget because it forces improvisation
No, dickass, ALL of the industries games have been made under capitalist conditions with the exception of Tetris which is arguably one of the most complicated dev and publishing stories of any media in history.
But these aren't your opinions, you just heard Larry Fink say these at your synagogue
you know you can be anti capitalist while not being a pozzed homosexual too, right
That's something communists will deny the hardest, because the entire purpose of communism is to create a totalitarian society. People believing one of their most public goals can be achieved through alternate means is worse than people believing that their goals are misguided.
>t. High school educated guy who got a 70% in social studies once
Literally the worst type of human being.
all correct except for tlou2
capitalism is necessary
Popular opinions. And yes you're a homosexual.
those are just "low effort baits for Ganker", not unpopular opinions, especially since they are popular everywhere else outside of Ganker
people in vidya isn't a problem
genocide isn't real
>>go woke, go broke isn't a thing
I agree with these three things and I don't know why it isn't common sense. The whole woke thing is a complete non issue outside of right wing echo chambers. Most people have no idea what get woke, go broke even means.
Righties are getting so insufferably sensitive these days that they're turning into snowflake lefties.
I see it as the same way people that are anxious about climate change tend to hyperbolize and exaggerate the issue in the hopes of stirring people to action
>Trans people seem to have a bit more leeway with sexual deviancy and sex pest behavior than should he allowed
Becomes
>Trannies are raping our children to death and programming them to hate God
and
>It seems like it’s become socially acceptable to demean and demonize White people in media
becomes
>White people are going extinct and the browns are cheering for it
Ironically the effect of these exaggerations have the same effect for both stances: scaring people away from engaging with with them due to how outrageous and confrontational they present their argument
last point is a non-point since games haven't really been sold under anything other than a capitalist system. You can only ever speculate how it'd be, you can't even compare because there's nothing really to compare to.
>Ganker makes way too big of a deal out of muh censorship, like they think it's the end of the world if a girl's cleavage gets covered up or a weirdly pedophilic line of dialogue gets removed
As long as they aren't actively adding in woke shit and it's not affecting the gameplay, it doesn't fricking matter
what you just said at the beginning is woke shit
It depends whether they're trying to appease puritans or feminists
fricking despise how using the word 'they' to refer to a single person will bring out all the unhinged homosexual morons who couldn't even diagram a sentence if you asked them to let alone enjoy a video game
Especially since that isn't even new. At the end of the day English is still a Germanic language and in German using "Sie" (which can also mean both she and they) as the polite way to refer to a singular person regardless of sex.
And in the same vein, when you know an individual was involved but their sex is unknown to you, "they" has always been used in English. It's simply the default to use when the actual sex is unknown.

neither of those games have anything to do with your post you unhinged moron
The materia system has no substance and turns every character into the same binary choice between phys or mag spammer with no individual identity beyond limit breaks
FF7 is a masterpiece but FF7R actually does this better. The characters have unique attacks besides the limit breaks in the remake, on top of the materia system still being in place and allowing you to do whatever you want with the character.
That could be my unpopular opinion perhaps, that FF7R combat is better than FF7's. It's not like it was the most in-depth turn based game at the time either.
Correct?
'troony game' is a meaningless criticism
The decline of quality in video game mechanics, storytelling and fun is parallel to the increasing amounts of millennials in the workforce. As that number has increased since the early 00s, things have gotten worse.
30 FPS is enough for video games
480i is also enough for 3d video games but its 2023 and we shouldn't have to keep living like ass backwards cavemen
Studios are blowing their budgets on ever-increasing graphical and performance expectations, enough is enough
I'd rather developers release games with Wii-tier graphics but excellent gameplay than what we're getting now
monster hunter music is bland, dark souls 1 has a few stand out tracks, 2 and 3 have completely forgettable osts, but demon's souls ost is a masterpiece
Amano's art has always been fugly as shit

Yep you're moronic all right
DS3 has literally the absolute worst gameplay of any Souls game lmao
Goddamn you subhuman trash
Baldur's Gate 3 is fricking overrated garbage (with all crpg genre as a whole)
Horseshoe theory. Coomer/ e-girl designs and post-modern Joss Whedon quipgays are a crutch for people who cannot make actually appealing characters, who instead make "muh safe horny" because they're too socially inept (sociopathic) to understand how people work, and what people actually want.
open world zelda feels shallow and boring
Raytracing is a gimmick that is used for convenience (laziness) and stagnated this generation's capacity for visual innovation right from the get-go. In most cases it hardly looks better, in some cases worse, and pretty much never justifies the enormous performance hit.
Mechanics have been going backwards rather than forwards since, at minimum, the mid-point of the last generation. Hardly anyone cares about physics, AI, or making something different. Those that do care about those things rarely have the budget to see them through (No Man's Sky).
The only good games that Rockstar have made are RDR1, The Warriors and Max Payne 3. LA Noire as well if you count their published games.
The future of gaming lies in mass-appeal multiplayer slop, as sales and player data have shown. Live service games, even the ones we would consider failures, still have all individually turned enough profit to be considered successful and still continue to turn a profit to this day. More than enough for it to be justified to continue the trend.
We look to the past because it's more exciting than the future, because it's rare that anything new is interesting. Remasters, remakes, sequels and reboots have made this evident for over a decade, to the point where people now beg and beg for a remake or remaster of any game you can think of.
The Guitar Hero and Rock Band games were a more fun and justifiable gimmick than VR shit. In both game quality and overall cost.
Modern RPGs are facades that cater to people who just want to feel like their choices matter rather than actually having any impact. Modern CRPGs are pretty much the only ones left carrying that torch, and they still tend to miss the mark as well.
Fighting games and MOBAs are the largest skill-tests of any genre, despite how much people want to deny this fact. They are the best platforms for competitive play for a reason.
Indie games are vastly more artistically derivative and contrived than AAA. The AAA issue is more monetary.
Trans women are women
Last and only good Nintendo game was Star Fox 64
Chloe Price is a good character, and her actions make sense given her background.
Also a lot of lines that get made fun of from LiS are supposed to be a joke.
I agree she is a good character. She is annoying though and a rebel, but it makes sense due to her past
>that line in the pic is exactly the kind of thing I'd say
I've started to notice that I'm exactly like a lot of these rebellous teenage female characters. I'm neither teenage nor female. What is up with that?
JRPGs need more variety in their music than generic rock music.
I agree with this, Western games tend to go a bit bolder with their soundtrack choice. Anyone have that webm of that one old Japanese arcade composer complaining that Japan has an "orchestra sickness"?
People who have a moral objection to sexualized e-girl/shota in vidya don't belong on this website and never have. Simply not liking it is fine.
It's fine to like it, but it's not fine to spam the board with coomer threads. This board is for discussing video games, not fapping.

Like 30% of all the greatest music tracks in videogame history have come from Soulsbornekiroring games
I went to double check to see if I was missing something and almost 80% of the Soulsborne tracks I stumbled across had string sections that were way too loud and an annoying choir screaming "ooooooo aaaaaaaaaa". Some of the least inspired soundtrack work I've seen out of a major videogame series, even among games from the land of the rising sun.
I guess you're too low IQ to figure out that it has zero relation to this topic if majority of Souls tracks are generic
It doesn't change the fact that a minority of around 10% of those Souls tracks are in the top 1% greatest videogame music of all time, being absolutely 10/10 godlike compositions
claiming the good ones are part of 1% of the best vidya tracks is very different from saying that 30% of the best vidya songs ever are from recent From games.
both are wrong, even just because SF, castlevania, mega man and some FF games exist, but the second is more sensible
>claiming the good ones are part of 1% of the best vidya tracks is very different from saying that 30% of the best vidya songs ever are from recent From games
No? These dont contradict at all. You're just an ESL jeet and can't read. The 1% was not referring to an amount, as in "1% of good game music". Its clearly referring to the 1% top of all game music. The "100" would be all game music ever in this context.
Whatever, don't worry your little head over this English grammar stuff.
What I said remains correct. A huge portion of all the best game OSTs come from FromSoft, and you guys bringing up that only a minority of Souls OSTs are great is just not relevant. Thats a completely different topic.
>as in "1% of good game music". Its clearly referring to the 1% top of all game music
those are literally two different things. it is you who has no command of the language. as a native speaker, you should be embarrassed
No, why do you insist on arguing the language when you obviously are a moronic ESL who fails to understand I did not contradict myself in any way?
The 1% was referring to 1% of all game music. The 30% figure was referring to FromSoft making up 30% of that top 1%.
Different topics and it was extremely clear, nothing confusing about this, except for subhuman trash like you.
No, you are an idiot. There exists no game with only god tier tracks. I've played all the best games and it's always at best the same scenario as in Souls games, mostly generic music and a small minority of top tier tracks.
what an insane thing to say. except for demon's souls, all the games have at most a handful of good songs per game. the rest is orchestraslop or nice sounding but really forgettable meander like Sekiro
The amount of good songs or the percentage of them compared to generic ones is not relevant to this topic. The claim was made that Souls music is bland, well obviously this general, wide statement about all Souls music is false, since a minority of Souls tracks are EASILY in the absolute top best videogame OSTs of all time. And each Souls game has some of those godlike tracks.
Them being minority of the total OST, has zero relevance.
when ~80% of something is bland, it's fair to say thatthe thing is generally bland.
not our fault you can't into common parlance
No not at all, there's no game ever made with nothing but top tier tracks. Every game with great music mostly has pretty generic music and then a few bangers.
The fact is that the great tracks of Souls games are so unbelievably good, that this cements FromSoft as one of the absolute top kings of videogame OSTs. Just how it is.
>Every game with great music mostly has pretty generic music and then a few bangers
A good way to tell me you don't know many videogame soundtracks without explicitly telling me you don't know many videogame soundtracks. I can think of so many games with great soundtracks that also aren't generic orchestra.
>Every game with great music mostly has pretty generic music and then a few bangers.
t. doesn't play vidya
what a laughable opinion.
it's also a completely different point.
>30% of greatest music comes from fromsoft games
Horseshit, and you know it, you drooling weeb.
Nope, its fact.
Not even remotely true, a huge portion were made by Europeans and Americans
Though yes Japs can figure out tank controls too, by nonwhites having trouble with them I was referring to swarthies obviously not East Asians
>Player choice in RPG's is a bullshit concept that's actively holding the genre back
Emphasis on "player choice", because that's literally what it is. Most of the time you select the sign-posted outcome in dialogue. You never play an butthole or saint by actually acting like one. You run through the same encounters in the same way, but in the end you talk to your quest goal and decide to do either the Evil or the Good thing. Meanwhile you had Deus Ex in the literal Stone Age that wove player actions into the gameplay itself, and had some consequences only appear much later so you couldn't just reload. Frick, even Dishonored with its basic b***h Chaos system does a better job of it than most RPG's because the change in the world actually depends on how you play the game, and it doesn't sell itself short by pretending being a goody two shoes is as easy as being a selfish c**t.
>Graphics and art style are synonymous
That's not an opinion. That's objectively wrong.
Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter is not hard outside of the early game before you get the D-counter, which is very generous, and aid kit spam really trivializes the game

Starfield is Bethesda's best game in more ways than not.
Anything released after 2010 is shit
>dubbed? Then you didn’t even play the game much less beat it
>Graphics and art style are synonymous
Graphics are the tech you use to bring an art style to life.a
No game should be longer than 10 hours. Any game with more than 10 hours is filled with padding.
Far Cry 3 is the best FPS in history
Haven't played it but from what I've seen it looks basic as frick. How the hell is that better than something like Doom 2026/Eternal or the original Quake?
Well I like those games sure but I love the open free gameplay of Far Cry where I can be sneky or go guns blazing or snipe from afar or use whatever weapon I want
The possibilities with which you can approach every enemy base or combat encounter are vast
>tank controls are a based as frick control scheme that work far better for certain games than the standard modern controls, people only think it's outdated because they aren't used to it anymore
>there is no reason whatsoever for gamers to worship steam and dislike Epic, the whole controversy is clearly clever manipulation from Valve's marketing departement
>Silent Hill 2 is an absolutely terrible videogame, the story is amazing but you'll still spend the majority of it on the gameplay which is abysmal
>Morrowind has an amazing world but it completely falls apart because it doesn't have a single NPC in it that feels like it could be a person (and of course the combat is a nonsensical, inconsistently designed mess)
>We need more good nonwhite/female/lgbt protagonists in games. Emphasis on GOOD, not safely written boring homosexuals like they usually turn out these days. I just want more diverse characters without them being written by people who are too concerned with identity politics and not offending anyone to actually pull it off.
>(and of course the combat is a nonsensical, inconsistently designed mess)
Not an unpopular opinion.
Morrowind's combat is fine, especially when the era is taken into account. The game is very clear about how not to suck at combat to anyone who takes the effort to actually read, and most complaints about it are from people who are unaware of how the system works and expect the game to do it all for them. It's the leveling system that's kind of fricked, but it doesn't matter much because any character would become strong eventually due to minimal level scaling. Oblivion kept the same fricked up leveling system but eliminated the hit chance thing, and everyone thought all issues with the combat system were fixed despite wrongly leveled characters in Oblivion becoming notably weaker over time due to level scaling.
The problem isn't just the fact that it's a tabletop RNG system with misses. All that shit is fine. The problem is that it doesn't feel like it belongs in this game with how it plays and it being first person. You CAN physically dodge attacks which makes little sense combined with misses being rng as well, especially when you start throwing around projectiles. It's very awkwardly in the middle of being a classic cRPG and the more modern Oblivion/Skyrim kind. It is both at the same time, which obviously doesn't work.
all solid opinions aside from the last part.
if you think different genders or races = diversity, you are participating in dumb identity politics and it's a really shallow way to look at characters.
I don't mind a "diverse" cast either but like you said, it has to be done well and not for token or propaganda reasons.
I don't want your viking game to be 50% brown people or something, of course is that not what I'm talking about. I'm not asking for as every cast of characters having every mandatory ethnicity and sexual orientation shoved in them or whatever the frick. Not what I mean. I just want a game where the protag is gay or something while still being a based character without his homosexuality being either an irrelevant footnote you can easily censor for China or his entire personality. When these things actually are done well, and are sincere without being added just to force diversity, it feels so refreshing.
But it should be 0% nonwhite people if its a viking setting
If you disagree, you are genuinely moronic and should be beaten with 5 foot long sticks and given 20 lashes from a whip
> I just want a game where the protag is gay or something while still being a based character
No such thing as a homosexual that is based
>But it should be 0% nonwhite people if its a viking setting
If you disagree, you are genuinely moronic and should be beaten with 5 foot long sticks and given 20 lashes from a whip
Well yeah, I agree. Unless it's like a foreigner character, it's really immersion breaking and it feels silly if you just have to accept it as normal when it clearly doesn't belong.
>there is no reason whatsoever for gamers to worship steam and dislike Epic
I like Steam and hate Epic because Valve has done more for Linux gaming than almost anyone else and Tim Sweeney has Microsoft's fat dick up his ass. Maybe that doesn't matter to you, but it's a valid reason, so there isn't "no reason."
Redpill me on the microsoft stuff.
He does a bit of MS dick sucking on Twitter. Also the anti-cheat in Fortnite, one of the world's most popular games, specifically blocks Linux, even though EAC supports Linux in other games. Valve would never.
>tank controls are a based as frick control scheme that work far better for certain games
Agreed with emphasis on "certain games". However the current control scheme used for most first person games is really shit since it turns the player into a floating camera with absolute freedom of movement, which has nothing to do with how real people move around the real world.
Have you ever seen anyone just casually strafe or crouch walk irl? It's comical if you think about it.
I don't think it matters for first person games though because you don't get to see your character, restricting your freedom of movement wouldn't do anything for the immersion in that case.
Actually they stopped doing tank controls because nonwhite people literally can't figure them out
It requires above 105 IQ to subconsciously understand that regardless of what direction your character is pointing in the game, the Up on D-pad will make them walk towards the characters front, not you the players forward, etc.
This is why controls were changed to refer to the players perspective always, not the characters
Most of the games known for using tank controls were made my nonwhites
Hill 2 is an absolutely terrible videogame, the story is amazing but you'll still spend the majority of it on the gameplay which is abysmal
This. I've always thought it was bad but over the years it looks worse and worse the more the artsy aspects of it wear off. The camera is bugged, the control scheme is awful, animations are janky and shit, it constantly forces you into combat situations that are all about cheesing the enemy and/or tanking hits, the puzzles are nonsensical and are largely just solved by trying out every item you recently picked up and do not express any sort of deeper theme the majority of the time. 3 is a marked improvement with game design.
>We need more good nonwhite/female/lgbt protagonists in games. Emphasis on GOOD, not safely written boring homosexuals like they usually turn out these days. I just want more diverse characters without them being written by people who are too concerned with identity politics and not offending anyone to actually pull it off.
Also agreed. I like playing as interesting, weird characters who aren't like myself, but I fricking hate being preached at. The people writing these characters are massive pussies because they've barely lived, and they can't write to boot.
Now this is an example of unpopular. He’s wrong, but at least his points are unpopular. I can respect the last point.
I much prefer chapters divided by stages for the structure of a game instead of an open world.
actual open world is shit and lazy design. the best are sort of linear and contained, but designed to traverse more free form like metroid, dark souls 1 or the old zeldas and then strictly linear like what you describe
Draenei are disgusting.

You need to check the catalog more often
Why is this dude so ugly?
glass houses, homosexual
You could just post actually attractive femboys instead of getting mad.
I think you should pirate games first before buying them if you like them.
You should buy games even if you don't like them. Devs need all the help they can get these days.
Every complains about western devs being creatively bankrupt and rehashing the sames games over and over again. Japan is worse offender of this by longshot. And since you guys have double standards not enough people are willing to call them out on it.
The complaint about western dev is correct, but you are also right in that Japan is even worse. I never got why Final Fantasy is so popular as a franchise, every entry is the fricking same diarrhea of absolutely moronic plot and character design.

Every game is woke nowadays, it just changes how much woke it is - and there's nothing wrong with this, lesbians and gays in game don't make the game worse
It's more fun to roleplay as something you aren't than as something you are, white male human fighter are sometimes cinematically good and sometimes it "feels right" but it's always the most boring choice, for people who disagree, try RPing as something you aren't with your mind open, you'll learn to love your character as if it wasn't just you making all their choices.
>It's more fun to roleplay as something you aren't than as something you are, white male human fighter are sometimes cinematically good and sometimes it "feels right" but it's always the most boring choice, for people who disagree, try RPing as something you aren't with your mind open, you'll learn to love your character as if it wasn't just you making all their choices.
This. Shit changed my life, it makes RPG games so much more interesting and replayable.
Exactly, roleplaying as a silly girl was the most fun I've had in matters of roleplaying ever, and it didn't change my sexuality at all.
I literally never play a white male human Fighter, but I think this opinion is moronic. If I were playing a white male human Fighter, that still wouldn't be me or an idealized stand-in or whatever. Of course, this is also a tabletop trope, and there it's even more moronic because you're not even constrained by whatever the game designers wanted to be possible. In fact, in most CRPG's playing as a human or as something else is 99% the same. If you're lucky there are some throw-away lines here and there about your race or gender, but that's kind of it.
It's about imagination, how you walk, how you imagine your character to talk, how strong he/she is (I intentionally make my characters weaker for roleplaying purposes)...
All the time I see people playing RPGs and making the strongest builds possible then proceeding to cry about the game being easy or boring, it happened with bg3

The first three are pretty reasonable
I haven't played Catalyst so I don't know about that one. Mind elaborating?
Better parkour mechanics, better combat (less of a big deal, though) the game is prettier, screenshots don't do it justice because the game was made to be looked at while it's in motion and even though its open world suffers from many of the usual flaws, the feel you get while running through it is something that no other game has managed to replicate and that's why I keep coming back to it.
Having to unlock skills like the roll is unnacceptable bullshit, though.
>actiongamegays are consistently the third worst posters on the board behind the ones mentioned in my first point and residential schizos
This is true but you ae prety much adressing one third of the board with that claim.
Bethesdas cities are better than CD Projekt reds
Super Mario 3D world mogs Odyssey and it's not even close.
Diablo iv is good and zoomers just couldn’t handle the grind, also it will rise again on between blizzcon and season 3
Diversity in protagonists has done wonders for games. It has made new interesting characters and storylines in an industry that was becoming stagnant. Also, just because right wing culture wars have made you notice women and other races more in games over the last few years doesn't mean it's a recent thing, you're just stupid enough to fall for the bait.
The majority of Ganker don't even care about video games that much. They're just coomers and pedos.
Phantom Hourglass is the best Zelda game, and Spirit Tracks is number 2.
Toon Zelda is by far the best design for Zelda in the entire franchise.
>Oblivion's quests are dogshit
I'll do you one better: Oblivion is dogshit. Skyrim is better, and Skyrim isn't even an RPG.
Monster hunter and soulsbornkiro are the only games to get melee combat right
Not unpopular. Bungie's Oni is the only game to get melee combat right.
Saying that a game is bad because its buggy or glitchy is one of the most unimportant surface-level criticisms you can make. In almost all "glitchy" games, the glitches are easily avoided and don't seriously impede gameplay. They're just something that's easy to poke fun at if you don't have anything else to say, which is why lazy reviewers obsess over them.
That, and glitches can be fun, especially if they can be used intentionally.
MMOs are for literal NPC subhumans. I'd rather play yearly FIFA releases
gaming should be banned for people between 12 and 40 years old.
>OoT in highest tier
>Elden Ring in lowest tier
???
I don't know about you, but to me they're basically the same game. ER is harder, sure, but master quest is kinda hard too
Actually, I'd go as far as to say ER is the modern OoT. That's my unpopular opinion.
I feel like most 3d games are stuck in a horrible catch 22 between the responsiveness of a mouse and the utility of a keyboard for button inputs, and a fluid secondary direction control. any game that forgoes a robotic single speed strafe is going to be seriously hamstrung by the limitations of WASD.
Sekiro is boring and has no replayability.
I wouldn't care if most voice actors were replaced with AI
I don't mind LGBT characters being included in games. nonwhite protags are still a big red flag for me
>I wouldn't care if most voice actors were replaced with AI
So far AI is very good at imitating how a character sounds, but I dunno about actual acting.
horror games overall are in better place now than they were in the sixth gen. everything outside of the big 2(which amounted to only 3 truely good horror games and one good action game), and a handful of interesting but flawed Japanese knockoffs was abysmal trash. you could never dream of something close to the quality of amnesia the bunker in the sixth gen.
This isn't the right thread for it but what the hell why not.
Whenever anons post their own GOTY lists, bear in mind that the vast majority of those anons don't have a clue about 90% of those games. Ganker plays one or two big releases a year and just engage in a lot of guesswork. The GOTY lists you see on this board mostly come from posters who played one game (and they'll talk about how it's ok but mention one minor issue) and then list a bunch of other games in a negative way - games they didn't play (but they'll pretend to in their list and they'll just throw an educated guess as to why it's all bad, with those guesses mainly influenced by conversational osmosis from shitposting).
Let me demonstrate how the "I don't play games so let's guess" thing on Ganker works:
>AC6
liking Fromsoft games gives anon veteran gamer cred and the game getting praise "owns the west", but perhaps anon detects Fromsoft has gotten a bit too mainstream so he dislikes it
>Baldur's Gate 3
janky turn based combat is a thing of the past so liking a game with it is a good way to LARP as an enlightened veteran, anon will especially prop it up especially if he wants to downplay other big releases
>Tears of the Kingdom
either anon dislikes it because he's annoyed by nintendo fanboy behavior or journalist dicksucking, or he loves it solely on the basis of "owning the west" or having simplistic graphics
>Resident Evil remake
anon thinks it's a remake of an eastern game he liked so it must be great
>Dead Space remake
anons thinks it's a remake of a western game he liked so it must be bad
>Atomic Heart
either anon likes it because he's a desperate coomer who fapped to the robots, or he dislikes it because he got sick of the coomers shilling it
>Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty
uh "wo long" definitely sounds like medieval japan or something so it's based, but then again that might make it a Fromsoft copycat so it's bad?
>Jedi: Survivor
it's star wars which is mainstream so it's slop
>Octopath Traveler 2
it's some smaller pixel thing so it's great to "own the big guys"
Sometimes the guesswork based on memes is completely correct, but it's still just guesswork and impressions from disinterested spectators who mostly just hate games nowadays, and their bitterness would start feeling unjustified if they ever admitted games aren't trash.
There is no good excuse to play a modern bethesda game. If you bought these shit, you are contributing to the death of videogames.
>you are contributing to the death of videogames
good, we must accelerate
I bought a Deck because of the ick on eck poster.
I don't care for plot and characters in every single video game. I only play strategics, EVE online, rhythm games and platforms.
Jet Set and Sonic Rush games have the shittiest soundtrack ever that sounds like random noises and irregular banging on trash cans
I hate Zelda. Not the series, but Princess Zelda.
She actively brings down the series, and the best games don't have her in them (Majora's Mask, Link's Awakening).
Souls music is bland. I fricking love those games but the musics always been pretty mid.
lots of guys fantasize about ladyboys but they pretend to hate them
OP is not a homosexual
baldur's gate 3 is not revolutionary in any way, and it's actually a downgrade to better games that came out 20+ years ago
All-female/ predominantly female cast = I will not play
>how is this unpopular
That statement includes coomer-core and Lesbo-core shit like Senran Kagura, Dead or Alive, VA-11 Hall-A, TouHou, Undertale, etc.
Completely unrelateable, and besides not needing to jerk off while I game I’m of the opinion that envisioning yourself watching while two women have sex without you is the same level of cuck as watching a dude frick your girlfriend
Skill-based matchmaking is good and the only people complaining about it are people who don't want to be challenged.
>Graphics and art style are synonymous
But thats just wrong you moron
I don't care for any of the conflict involved in gaming culture, any of it. At all. It's a load of self-important twaddle designed to delude people into thinking this little "hobby" matters. No one cares about gaming except those into, what you're discussing does not matter. Until the culture becomes one of openness and acceptance instead of conceit and delusion, gaming will always be seen as a joke.
