i think the Steam Deck is great
sonic 2 is the best 2d game in the series
How is this unpopular?
Every single "Didnt have a sega console but I played sonic" and zoomers believe this
Sticker Star is a good exploration game, even if its dull as sin as a mario rpg.
It's honestly kind of fun if you think of it more like a Kings Quest game than a Paper Mario game.
new good
old boring
Doom 3 is unironically more of a Doom game than Doom Eternal.
Raiden isn't that bad of a character.
Grinding is fun. I never liked the idea of having things handed to me from the get-go. Grinding for items and spending a whole year to reach the top feels very rewarding.
Western action games are not games.
That’s an open world, not an action game
Dark Souls 2 is a good game
I casually played through each of sark souls games once and i dont understand the hate for 2, literally the same shit as 1 and 3
you first anime loving Black person
Majora's Mask is the best 3d Zelda
Burning Crusade was the worst Expansion and the true beginning of the end.
Final Fantasy 8 is the worst game ever made, including worst than ET and Superman 64.
>Burning Crusade was the worst Expansion and the true beginning of the end.

good takes
>Witcher 3 is overrated and 2 is the best in the series
>Final Fantasy 8 is the worst game ever made, including worst than ET and Superman 64
You never played legend of dragoon or any FF after X-2
NTA but FF8 is horrible for having level scaling and using magic making you weaker is moronic.
video games mainly rpgs should do away with have enemies with massive health pools compared to you unless it warrants it like they're gigantic.
They should instead have them be as strong as you but with much smarter AI comparable to you
By smarter ai do you mean reads inputs and performs actions faster than you? Or do you mean smart as in just make the ai think like a human lmao it's easy.
Neither, he means he wants enemies with a greater variety of tools and moves, making them seem "smarter" when they throw grenades instead of just shooting at you.
the later, dont give me damage sponge enemies that I beat by slowly trickling down health and health.
sonic adventure & sonic adventure 2: battle are the only good sonic games
>sa2b
>not dc sa2
one of the worst takes i've seen in a while you should be ashamed
what makes dc sa2 better?
DBZ Budokai 3 > DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3
Fallout 4 is one of the best Bethesda games ever made even if it still kind of sucks
Linear story based movie games like TLOU are fine as long as they don't have 256 hour long cutscenes like MGS4
If enemies in an FPS game take more than a few hits to kill its probably a bad FPS game
The entire JRPG genre is terrible and I genuinely believe you have to be either a child or autistic to enjoy them (pokemon is fine though)
The original Mass Effect trilogy is one of the pinnacles of the RPG genre
D&D style combat in CRPGs is fricking cancer and completely unfun (and I say this as someone who plays D&D)
> The entire JRPG genre is terrible and I genuinely believe you have to be either a child or autistic to enjoy them
i can’t blame. i prefer wrpg but sometimes jrpg are fine because they’re more comfy and th-
>(pokemon is fine though)
homie…
>D&D style combat in CRPGs is fricking cancer and completely unfun (and I say this as someone who plays D&D)
Amen, brother.
>D&D style combat in CRPGs is fricking cancer and completely unfun (and I say this as someone who plays D&D)
Prophet forbid it's in a live action game either. For all the praise brainlet video essayists on youtube give it, Morrowind's dice roll combat has to be one of the most boring combat systems in any game (inb4 "combat is not meant to be fun, you're supposed to spend most of your time questing not having fun")
Cute little girls are more important than gameplay
That one autistic anon who made a thread about how games aren't games unless they have strict win loss conditions was right. Most modern games are really immersive sims and this is actually what I prefer anyway, I don't like games
if you played the remaster/remake of a game you didn't really beat it.
Fighting games are too reliant on sexuality to sell their games
--And that's a good thing
Don't worry SF6 is changing that. Only exception is they are selling themselves to footgays.
that hasn't been the case for at least the past decade
RNG is almost always bad, especially in PvP games. It's only justified if it's the only technologically possible way to implement an essential mechanic.
Games shouldn't be more than 50 hours. Any game longer than 50 hours is bloated.
>what about puzzle games or racing games
I mean story based games, namely RPGs and modern open world games. Persona 5 didn't need to be 100+ hours.
>Persona 5 didn't need to be 100+ hours.
Holy frick this. There's so much filler story moments that just don't need to be in the game. Persona 3 was great because it mostly left the story in the background so you could focus on social links/dungeon crawling
The worst part is realizing all the small stuff that drags everything out. Here's a big one I didn't notice until I played Strikers.
>something happens
>3-4 members of the team have to make a comment on it, each one saying the same thing as the others but in a different way
>repeat for the length of the game
Botw is very tedious and boring
Pokémon Channel is the best Pokemon spinoff and nothing has ever topped it
Soul
99% of games aren't actually shoving a political message down your throat like /vpol/ thinks, they're just making a game and they happen to not be a cultural zealot. I do think TLOU2 is the 1%, that was pure signaling to replace nuanced story. But most games, whether it's a female lead, has some sjw lines, gay people, etc is just trying to make some art about what weird shit they see in the world regardless of whether it's "correct." I had so much fun with Celeste, but then I went on places like hear and heard all this screeching about hating the game because of some reaching troony shit. Getting triggered by snifters of the gay is honestly more gay than being an actual homosexual.
Is the author making the protag a troony reaching? You're a Black person for liking spikeformers either way, but still.
You missed the point if you think I give a shit what an author thinks. I like their work, not them. Death of the author and such.
Ah forgot to add, the marketing dept. is a whole different story, but with recent releases/hype like Saint's Row v. Elden Ring you can see that advertisers need to be more in touch.
/vpol/ are the saddest fricks in the face of the planet. And you don't have to go as far as having trannies in video-games, simply having a black character in a game that's not even their favorite franchise is enough to make them rage and review bomb the title, and god forbid having a black protagonist, the end of civilization itself.
obsessed much? touch grass
Nah, frick off. If someone made a historical game drawn from an african variant of LOTR but made every white, or the main black guy east asian for diversity it would be universally seethed at by everyone. The only people that whinge about white people not laying down are Black folk and hypocritical leftoids.
Nobody that isn't mentally ill cares. Both REgays and /vpol/ are thin-skinned mentally ill freaks. My dad is a boomer and he recently watched Rings of Power and made a comment about "afro-haired elves" and that's it, he legit enjoyed it because he's neither mentally ill nor a lorecuck.
>My dad is a boomer and he recently watched Rings of Power and made a comment about "afro-haired elves" and that's it, he legit enjoyed it because he's neither mentally ill nor a lorecuck.
what kind of defense is this? "Im not invested into [thing] so its silly that other people are" thats fricking moronic. Why even come to a forum about specific topics if you arent invested in it? Frick off normalBlack person
If you become so deeply invested into fictional characters to the point that you're offended by change that's your cue to spend a few weeks in the countryside and completely disconnected from that, you'll eventually realize how silly you were.
Has nothing to do with the characters, it's the creators behind them using them as a human anti racism shield so they can feel like they're doing anything at all for race relations. If I were a minority I would be disgusted with the real treatment of humans being diminished down to their skin color and then used to either make a white person feel special, or to push a political agenda. It's some creepy shit.
Truth is, it doesn't matter to 90% of people. Pay attention to how the average, healthy, working family person reacts to that stuff, not the ResetEra gays or your /vpol/ friends. Normal people like flashy action and relatable stories/characters, and that's it. The only people losing their minds over that are always the mentally ill ones on either side of the spectrum. So what that they hired a blue-haired bipolar shebull to pick the cast? As long as the action is flashy and the stories/characters are relatable that's enough to make the average person have a good time.
I used to be seriously invested into the Dark Souls franchise and when they announced Elden Ring and the whole open word/Game of Thrones shit I really didn't like it, then I started playing Deep Rock Galactic and suddenly I couldn't care less about Elden Ring. Fallout 76? Same shit. There's always a replacement but mentally ill people just can't understand it because it seems that one "artistic vision" means everything to them.
my bad Im invested in an artistic vision and take offense to charlatans taking a good work and ruining it for their childish political bullshit. But what does it matter to you? I can already tell your in favor of whatever trite these homosexuals are pushing to even defend it in this way
You have to be mentally ill to WANT people to preach to you when you're playing video games. If I wanted to listen to you moral authoritarian morons I'd just boot up any social media site or news outlet. Believe me, you never shut the frick up.
>You have to be mentally ill to WANT people to preach to you when you're playing video games
The main difference between you and I is that I legitimately don't give a shit because I don't see it the way you do. To you it seems like preaching/brainwashing, to me it's just another irrelevant filler that I couldn't give a shit about. Miserable people will actively find things to feel miserable about while the average person just steamrolls through it while making jokes or simply not noticing it at all. It's like /tvpol/ watching an ad with a white woman enjoying a chocolate popsicle and having flashbacks of their worst nightmare. You're so deeply invested into that crap that you literally conditioned yourself to be angry at things the average person doesn't give a shit about.
>strawman that I'm not going to bother reading fully
Are you really this upset and making up strawmans this elaborate because I don't want to play Omori lol
I don't give a frick who developed it, it doesn't look interesting to me dude
Not him but this shit hits way too close to hom, frick you anon.
Holy projection
Take your meds
I used /vpol/ as an example because this is your natural habitat, but I would get the exact same reactions if I said the same on ResetEra about their insufferable reaction to things they don't like, like when the whole website had a collective mental meltdown about the mortally challenged. You people are two hemispheres of the same mentally ill brain.
I'll be honest I don't even know what you're going on about anymore. You're off in your own little world.
I've no stake, but that was pretty easily spelled out for you even though he wasn't just communicating in memes. There are remedial education tutors for adults though, may be worth looking into.
Seethe
I know you are since you couldn't even make a clever comeback. Why even browse this web page if you suck so much at humor?
Why do you keep bringing up race unprovoked when nobody else is talking about it?
Either way nobody is gonna believe you "don't give a shit" when you get this mad over Ganker arguments. You're the type to mald over misplacing shit in your house, or your Mom not having tendies done on time.
The whole discussion was about trannies and minorities in video-games, and I'm not angry at all, I'm simply trying to show you how silly it is to be angry at things that are utterly irrelevant. If they make something you don't like, whether it's your favorite franchise or not, go find something else to enjoy. Problem solved, stress-free.
I don't disagree with any of that.
Amen, this board has skin as thin as SJWs collectively.
I don't care about thickness of skin anymore. Just stop putting propaganda into mcshooty entertainment. It's such a simple request. It so obviously has had the exact opposite intended effect.
Anon these companies explicitly state that they are pushing an agenda based on race. They would flatly disagree with you for saying they don't.
See?
/v/'s always overreacts but dont think for a second that silicone valley perverts dont intentionally do that shit constantly as childish pokes to people they dont like
Definitely, but I'm not going to call a restaurant's cooking shit because they think I suck. I'm going to enjoy that steak, leave a tip to the chef, and then call them a gay.
>restaurant('s staff) treats you badly
>you leave them a tip anyway
>not being the bigger man in the room by being above childish fights
look at this tipless
but devs should stop attack their core audience. if i were a dev i would just shut the frick up and not offend anyone
"being above childish fights" is one thing, giving EXTRA money to people who don't play nice with you is lacking self-interest.
this anon is right. tons of left and minority people work at vidya and sometime they might add thoses kind of characters to “spite the chuds” kinda like how Ganker make a wojack about a troony killing himself just to spite the left. in the end it’s just both side being utter moron. but still i wouldn’t like to complain about things being “pozzed” as long as i don’t see being 100% sure, like xenoblade 3 isn’t pozzed like people said here. nor omori
Agreed until the troll at the end
Omori isn’t pozzed because the creator is into shotacon. And pedophilia can’t be pozzed (yet)
Also i wanted to use a western games as an example
>the creator is into shotacon
They also rather aggressively hate men, and did long before the game was released. There was some shit about them virtue signaling about having "no men" involved in the development of it, but I'm not sure if any of it actually leaked into the game itself because I honestly never played it.
Then I change Omori for Mortal Kombat X because Kunh Jin is one of the few homosexual character that I like. But to be fair I think I am the only guy who likes Kung Jin
There's guys on Omori's devteam you might be thinking of something else
>the creator is into shotacon
>They also rather aggressively hate men
Whoever made that game would be very conflicted if they met me
>like 2D womin
>ate irl thot
that shit happens here everyday. escapism is one hell of a drug
I honestly didn’t even know Celeste was about troony shit until I seen anons b***hing about it.
I don't think that's actually in the game. The developer just posted about it on Twitter and aspies don't realize you can just ignore something that you don't like. If Miyamoto announced that Mario was a woman this whole time that wouldn't change anything about the games that have already been released.
I think it was a single troony flag and folks blew up. It’s honestly tiring seeing morons blow up just because their are black characters in video games. They would have been the biggest b***hes if the walker dead game came out current year.
First day experiencing a game you love getting shat on just because it had one gay character? don’t worry anon, it’s normal. not saying you’re wrong but i would say the percentage is actually lower. 65% when something “pozzed” is added to a game is genuine and the other time is just execs and suits trying to “get with the times”.
Close, it's more likely they're just trying to break into an untapped market, which is stupid because most girls will never care.
Frick off chud have a nice day
Bloodborn wasn't a bad game, but indeed it was worst FromSoftware game
There is a difference between good characters like Lee from Walking Dead and turning white npcs into black people because you're woke now, instead of just new creating new characters. That's literally what Blizzard did.
Dark souls is over rated garbage.
This is only a take brainlets use. Get cummed on rangay
Dark Souls isn’t overrated but I’m sure as hell not interested it. For once I am glat it became so popular so now I can pretend I am “clever” for never liking, but on the other part i hate the Black person who recently started to hate fromsoft games just to feel special, specially Ganker aftee fellating fromsoft wiener for 10 year. frick you Black person i am the only one who actually never caref about this franchise, you’re just a hater poser
you can erase nintendo from the games industry and everything would be better.
you don't have to pay for a game
games with rpg systems should not have pvp
I like destiny 2.
>Realtime with pause is a shit system for RPGs, always has been, and always will be
>Final Fantasy VII is inferior to Legend of Dragoon because the latter at least tried something different instead of actively regressing.
>Majora's Mask is not better than Ocarina of Time, and both are shit in comparison to A Link to the Past and Link's Adventure
>Deus Ex Human Revolution isn't good just because it's less shitty than everyone expected.
>Liking Oblivion doesn't make you based, it makes you a contrarian. It's the only Elder Scrolls game that requires 200+ mods just to be fricking playable at the most basic level regardless of the quests being good or not.
>Every game that references modern day politics belongs in the trash, not because I disagree with them, but because any video game that tries to make a statement is almost guaranteed to be shit.
There alot of great games out there and Ganker should stop being so ashamed of enjoying things. I'm pretty sure a game that people thing is "shit" you like.
Speaking of things, why does this place get mad over things getting popular even though it played an obvious hand in it being popular in the first place.
it's how we stay one step ahead of the crowd.
>There alot of great games out there
No there really isn't
Okami is shit. Literally “interrupted by cutscenes” the game.
I just dont like the mechanics
I think the painting is clunky and kind of a pain in the ass I think the seeds and all that shit is stupid I dont want to fish like every other japanese game
its not fun to play
Roland forgiving angela is better than him killing her
have a nice day Angela deserves to suffer for all eternity
Sonic Chronicles isn't as bad as most people make it out to be. That's not to say it's great or anything. It's an average RPG that people act like is atrocious.
QTEs are fine.
Smash sucks
Crisis Core > FF7
Morrowind is a good game but it's mechanics really do suck ass. Quests are fun, but culling skills in later games wasn't such a loss since most of them didn't matter anyway. Blunt and axe get merged into the same skill? Who cares, in mw it was just another way to kill people that wasn't different to other melee weapon skills. Skyrim knew that only morons cared whether their weapon was blunt or not and just let people take the most functional difference between weapons ie. whether you could use one or two hands to handle it. Skyrim realized that TES was just a simple action-adventure game masquerading as an RPG, so it just said "frick it" and made the action part more streamlined. It did fail in other storytelling ways, but skyrim just cut a lot of the dumb gameplay crap morons hold so high for morrowind.
Castlevania Lords of Shadows is better than any God of War game.
Amiibos are great figures to collect and to train.
>people complaining about training amiibo and them not getting good results
>not just going to a gaming room at a anime convention and let other people train them
I remember when I used to be a tendie and buy a shit ton of amiibos. I would buy a FE amiibo if they made them since is the only nintendo franchise i care about nowdays
New Super Mario Bros 2 is a really fun game that's enjoyable to play
STG is a fricking stupid name for a genre. Even shmup is better.
Hollow Knight, Celeste, and Dark Souls are games that I don't understand their exceptionally high rating. They often get called something like "best game of all time" but they are kind of unoriginal. Like, they aren't bad or anything, but they just seem like 'yet another game in this popular genre.' They aren't particularly exceptional or innovative; they feel like many other games I have played before, including games I thought were better. Despite this they get constant 10/10's. I just don't understand.
I forgot to add, but Last of us is another one I would throw in this category.
Don't know about the other games, but there was definitely a big hump that I had to get over with Dark Souls before I liked it. It was bizarre, I went from hating it to loving it one day, I even remember the feeling
Nobody actually dies in the Danganronpa games. Not a single person.
Is that some sort of copium?
Nope. It's established that the Killing Game is just a TV show and that The Tragedy never happened. All the characters are actors and they're really fricking good at their lines.
Fromsoft games are mediocre at best

Ganker is shit when it comes to having legitimate opinions and facts
Killer is Dead is the best Suda game.

Bannerlord 2 is a good game and you gays are just mad it's not ready for mods yet on account of being actively updated.

RE1 1996 > REmake

Arkham Knight is the best superhero game ever made
New Blood games are massively overrated.
Dark souls should have ended on the first one.
Sonic is good its just that 90% of players (fans included) are actually bad at Sonic games.
If a video game doesn't have a good story/setting then I can't get invested in it, making the gameplay useless
NieR Automata was extremely mediocre and carried by being coomer bait.
Open world games are fine if the world is actually interesting.
Controller design peaked in the PS2/GCN/360 era and has gotten steadily worse since.
No sales policy or discounts below 60% are a massive red flag for pretentiousness and arrogance. Unless the game is literally below 5 dollarydoos - I consider devs like that to be uppity c**ts.
Sound design and music is THE most important part of a game and people who actually mute games to play their own music over them are fricking aliens.
I wouldn't say it's the most important part, but it's very important and I agree with the rest
Sex has no place in video games
RPGs are no more real video games than VNs since they don't require mechanical skill.
New World is currently the best MMO on the market
Majora's Mask is the worst game in the series.
Repetitive combat and a lack of character progression/builds made Sekiro boring as hell and completely lacking in replayability.

Mario 64 is dogshit, it has perhaps some of the worst controls I've ever seen in a video game, a lot of the games assets don't fit together at all and the levels feel like the texturing was done by a 4 year old. How anyone actually enjoys this steaming pile of garbage is beyond me.
It didn't age well. When we were 5 years old playing 3D games for the first time it was pretty neat.
You are a zoomer playing it for the first time as an adult, when you've already played PS3/etc games a kid, of course it's dogshit now.
Boomer Shooters lack substance are just slightly faster paced than the shit we have now. There has been a never ending cycle of gamers that fall to this shit because people already into Boomer Shooters are so far up their own ass they forget it's just a shooter and requires very little thought compared to most other genres of games. Frick half of them you don't even have a proper vertical aiming vector and you just turn strafe things dead which I'd argue is less skill intensive. They generally lack quality in all faculties and are raw mindless gameplay like that of the arcade days. It's gameplay with virtually nothing else. Exceptions exist sure but as a genre it's factually bland and people force themselves to eat it up for some sort of nebulous gaming clout as if that means frick anything. I have never been associated with anyone of that genre that wasn't obnoxious about it.
I agree with you anon Ive always found boomer shooters to be super fricking boring
Unpopular opinion is a term that people want to use to feel special for having a commonly held opinion.
go for a walk and stay on a walk, please
Have an original thought instead of copy pasting what you're told to online.
Metal Gear Rising is a shit game and convinced me that it’s not whether or not a game is actually good when it’s more about memes and fitting in with everyone else that matter with games, especially when MGR is guilty of 90% of the same garbage Ganker claims to hate in other games
This. I'm tired of their reddit shit spam le heckin based senator memes and wish that they fricked off somewhere else.
>it’s not whether or not a game is actually good when it’s more about memes
Then why do people say Stranger of Paradise is shit?
bullshit diablo-likes aren't RPGs. If the player can't meaningfully interact with the world outside of "go here and kill shit" then it isn't an RPG, it's a hack'n'slash.
Same goes for jRPGs.
>B-B-BUT YOU PLAY THE ROLE OF YOUR CLASS

WRPGs are superior to JRPGs.
I think the PS5 has some good games.
The gameplay and graphicsmof Witcher 3 are bad
Smash Bros with items on is how it's meant to be played. Go play fricking Tekken or something if you want a serious fighting game.
I think the alternative to Smash would be Multiversus not Tekken
Character action games are garbage and all play the same and have to adapt by doing something interesting like having an interesting story. Hacking and slashing is fricking boring and why Bayonetta and DMC are just autist fodder. It's really easy to mash 2 buttons and your character does cool things and you win. But without a cool story and characters it's AUTOmatically boring in 2016. Frick DMC.
There's unironically still untapped potential in the adventure game genre. The thing hindering that is actually puzzles being the gameplay, because it's ridiculously hard to consistently make good ones. But I think the core appeal of the genre is not puzzle solving and is still something that people want and are not getting.
I don't think there has been an actual true successor to the genre, though there were a number of separate games tapping into the same core appeal, too disjointed in means and gameplay to actually create a genre.
Unpopular on Ganker? We need more representation in video games.
Unpopular in the real world? We need less representation in video games.
most JRPGs aren't actually RPGs
Other than the bugs, Saints Row 2022 was actually fun
