You're probably too young to both have a credit card and remember when you rented stuff from store, but this isn't a new thing. It's a blast from the past.
I am old enough to remember game rentals and Blockbuster.
The twist here is:
Back in the day you could buy your games or you could rent them.
Today, with "games as a service", you can only rent. Although this makes sense for games like MMOs and to some extent battle-royals, there is no reason you should not have the option to buying a game that is aimed as a solo experience.
Simply put, it is a business scheme to control the supply by eliminating secondary markets so the price and marketing is always controlled. It maximizes profit to everyone's detriment.
No see, the difference is back when you rented you had full right to play the game for the entire rental time. With games as a service if you sneeze wrong they can decide to ban you and remove your right to play altogether regardless of how much you paid. The "complete base game + DLC that is also complete and expands upon base game" model was perfect and needed no changes. The exact moment day 1 patching became and acceptable norm gaming started going on a downward spiral and only clueless moronic consumers like you believe otherwise.
The only good Mario games are 3, World, some of the RPGs and a couple sports games. Everything else sucks.
Mario Kart? They're all unbelievably bland shit. Mario Party? Just awful. Super Mario 64? Not that good, there's a reason very few games have ever copied it wholesale.
yeah I can see this but I wish there more restrictions on glitch categories
I just want to see 100% glitchless runs or any% glitchless
it looks so fricking stupid when someone is speedrunning a 3d shooter game like half life and they just walk out of bounds for the whole run
there's no such thing as good game design. everything is fundamentally just whether you yourself like something or not. the phrases good or bad game design are just used by people to make their opinions sound more objective when in reality, they're still the subjective opinions of randoms on the internet.
also pineapple goes better with pepperoni than ham.
>likes it
This is what I mean btw. Fundamentally this is just your opinion and you're using the phrase bad design to try to make your opinion sound objective.
it is my opinion that not lighting exits is bad gamedesign yea
regardless how can you think its not objectively bad to have an unlit exit, or other objectively unintuitive stuff like that
Hey anon. I made a game. Stick your foot underneath your chair and sit on it for as long as you can.
Here are some consequences of your world view:
- my game is as good as Mario 3. The only difference is whether you prefer it.
- it's impossible to make improvements to any time. There is no such thing as getting better at making games.
- marketing actually makes games better because it makes people like it more.
If you still want to hold a new agey view, I suggest the following more moderate forms (I don't hold them):
- games are good if they convey the emotions and experiences intended.
- games are good if gamers like them
- games are good if they can create important memories
OP said controversial, meaning that there's possibility for both option A and option B but both options bring about a controversy within the topic of the debate or discussion. Teaching a person to play your video game isn't controversial and it is good game design, regardless of what anyone thinks. It can be hand holding you through the entire game or it can be small hints guiding you along the way to even just a basic over view of what the game expects from you for the rest of your play through
You tried to sound smart but you only came off as moronic >likes pineapple on pizza at all
I rest my case
STALKER games are overrated jankfests that really only have atmosphere going for them. While SoC and CoP are at least playable, CS is irredeemable horseshit. Metro series would easily be better were it not for the title's linear nature.
On that note: Complete 2009 wasn't that bad (after a few tweaks). At least it didn't crash constantly and corrupt some of my saves like OGSR
I fricking hate dragon dogma. This game is shit. I can't even imagine anyone having fun with it. It feels like a cheap chinese mmorpg that you play solo.
I fricking hate games that sacrifice immersion for so called "quality of life" aka "handholding like the player is 5 years old". >Teleportation on demand >Maps with gps in pre-modern time setting >Beelines for quests in the map >No inventory weight system, you can carry your entire warehouse with no penalty
If you don't have time to grind, you don't have time for videogames. Simple as.
You didn't have to grind in Space Invaders. You didn't have to grind in Pac-Man. You didn't have to grind in Mario. Having monotonous difficulty does not make a game better. It's just unneeded baggage. Adding quality of life features is not about making it easier but rather making it more fun for the average player. What you think adds immersion is nothing more than a lazy excuse for developers to flesh out there game and improve upon it's mechanics that will satisfy the majority of people. It's like the people who complain about not being able to fill up a gas tank in GTA or having the police come after you after you drive through a red light. That adds nothing to the gameplay experience aside from hindering enjoyment for the sake of "immersion". It's bad and lazy game developing.
>You didn't have to grind in Space Invaders. You didn't have to grind in Pac-Man. You didn't have to grind in Mario.
Except you did. I doubt you knew the best strategies to shoot at first try. You didn't knew how to avoid the ghosts efficiently. You needed a crapload of 1ups in Mario to pass each level. >hindering enjoyment for the sake of "immersion".
Immersion IS enjoyment. When I play a medieval game I want to feel like I'm a
medieval knight, and that includes having to decipher a barebones map, making my way to the battlefield riding though forests and valleys, choosing my equipment carefully because I can only carry so much, and having to care for the equipment.
Teleporting into battlefields to mash buttons, grab the mcguffin and then teleport out is game journalist tier
diffirent guy here,
good point made and i agree about the immersion, but i believe there is a point where they take it to far and it could be called hindering enjoyment with the goal of immersion. like moving ladders in star citizen just bc nerds want it, youd think they have a quality of life automatic drone ladders in the age of quantum drives. just giving an example of unnecessary hinderence
>If you don't have time to grind, you don't have time for videogames
Fricking this.
Makes me think of the morons that unironically say the phrase "this video game doesn't respect your time". Why would a video game show respect for a moron that doesn't understand why he is playing video games in the first place.
I unironically think that e-sports and people taking video games as a serious source of income in general killed everything about what should have mever been more than a hobby. Now you have all kind of homosexuals try to fit in with the "nerds" because it's what's been trending for the last 15 years.
Another controversial opinion here: gatekeeping is good when it manages to keep the usual vermin out of the way.
I think turn based RPGs are boring dogshit. You just click words inside a text box for 40 fricking hours. You can't attack whenever you feel like, you can't jump or do other shit that makes video games fun. You just sit there and press the same words inside of a box over and over. That style of gameplay is bullshit. That's the kind of game you can play on a remote control and not a game controller. People who like that shit are psychotic and boring to me. It's not really that controversial of an opinion but there's validity to it.
Dark Souls 2 was and still is the best Dark Souls game.
It's just way more fun to play, with better movement, better combat and a better world. I do not care about the great volcano elevator anymore than I care about a lake atop a tree atop a lake.
When you get even older, you'll realise that One Piece turned to typical shonenshit after Skypiea. Aside from Thriller Bark there was no sense of adventure and discovery anymore after that arc
The industry is yet to hit peak degeneracy, everything you have so far seen has been just attempts at perfecting a formula, once the coporations figure out just how far they can go while still keeping their customers they will still be greedy enough to go past those limits and everyhing will come crashing down. Theres no avoiding this because the majority of people who play video game do not care about anything else besides "fun".
Resetera is a good video game news aggregate website. Reddit is good for seeing what specific video game fandoms are discussing. Twitter is good for hearing about the latest news and drama. Ganker is good for shitposting.
Gaming was a lot more fun when people didn’t care so much about graphics. Now all people care about is graphics and it takes over a decade to make a game. I’d be happy fine if games stayed at 2010s-era complexity and we got more output.
Indie games and smaller studio are our saving grace.
Triple AAA games are trash and are ruining video games industry (i guess this part isn't that controversial.)
Season 8 had its moments, and Season 9 was a respectable-enough finale. Neither of them come close to the best years of the 'lot, sure, but they aren't unwatchable as some might claim.
i think that digimon world 2:
1) is the best digimon game ever
2) is MUCH better than pokemon mystery dungeon, and
3) is among the very best psx games overall
Knockoff fizzy drinks are literal cancer in a bottle most of the time. Don't know about Europe and Lidl (I've only been there once during my trip to America and never tried any of their stuff) but that's how it is here in Russia
The early 2000s was a better time to be a Sonic fan, I remember getting hyped with my next door neighbor friends playing the Sonic Adventure duology, and the classics (no division between them like now) and watching cool-ass Dragonball z inspired flash animations ( I'm not talking about that nazo one either, more like Sonic and shadow fighting) I remember one artist put Sonic in this edgy cyberpunk world fancomic and it was cool as hell, how can some of you on Ganker deny any of that in favor of your constant soijacking of 16-bit nostalgia and obsessing with the American advertising of the 90s. Or whatever the modern-neo-soijak-sonictard is gagging about
I think the spectacle of visuals in games is over-rated and played out and has been for about a decade. I would rather a game have a notable style and atmosphere than better visual appearance.
Graphical detail and fidelity should serve the ends of the game not the masturbatory fetishistic self-indulgent excesses of a graphics designer.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses is a terrible video game. One of the worst games I've played since the NES days. It's also highly likely that most of the praise and waifu simping was originally inorganic shilling.
Yeah I wish. I'm a fan of DB and don't really care about Naruto but that's just how things are. I mean, DB games are better than One Piece shovelware for example but still
Games are unironically satanic and rot away your soul, and the entire medium needs to be burned down and salted in order to start again and pave the way for the platinum age of educational and simulator games
My favourite game is Warcraft 3 so please dont (you) me
>be one of those "PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?" people >actually try pineapple on pizza >it's really, really good
Don't knock it until you try it
>be one of those "PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?" people >actually try pineapple on pizza >it's actually worse than I thought
Many such cases. With each passing day I realise that I'm actually right most of the time and not simply a 'moronic anti-fun contrarian'
I only go to locally owned pizza joints because the fat fricks who own them know how to make actually good 'za. Doesn't make me a hipster, it makes me a gourmand.
Mass Effect 2 is the worst ME game. Just a bland cover shooter that shits up whatever ME1 was doing as an RPG. Play 3's multiplayer if you want good gameplay, play 1 if you want a good RPG. Skip the rest.
Not related to gaming, but Godzilla, Ultraman, Gamera, Kamen Rider, should have spots on the Toonami block in the 2000s, and they could have opened the door for kids at the time to be more interested in Japan at the time,
also, the 2004 Devilman film isn't that bad, it has a message that's accurate to the modern world we live in now.
The first Donkey Kong Country has very uninspired level design on the level of fan games with some of the laziest, shittiest boss fights ever put in a platformer. It is carried hard by graphics and music.
Chrono Trigger simply doesn't deserve its reputation as one of the best games ever, let alone one of the best RPGs ever. It's a solid beginner's RPG that has been put on a pedestal by people who have played at most five RPGs in their life.
Age of Empires 3 is better than 2 and 1, the reasons 2 got more popular because everyone can play it and Ensemble cash in on the nostalgia bait (and hit the jackpot too)
I actually like Cuphead's run & gun stages. They may not be as visually interesting as the bosses but they play fine. Every stage has a good amount of enemy variety and none of them are recycled. Not many run & gun games share that feat. The King's Leap was the real disappointment. Sure, they look better, but they're just parry minigames where you're not even ranked on. The gauntlet doesn't even feel like one because your health is fully restored after each round.
Nintendo games aren't fun. Their only ips I find fun are Xenoblade and FE and that's partially because of all the shit flinging that happens in their threads.
Mike Morhaime was the only reason why Blizzard was an awesome developer.
The fact that he peaced out of the sinking ship to found Dreamhaven and continue his vision is evidence of that.
Zelda peaked in 2D, OoT and MM are genuinely mediocre games fueled entirely by nostalgia and peer pressure and of the 3D Zeldas TP is the best even with it's numerous faults.
Any developer who releases DLC content that has been in development before the game released, deserves to get pirated. Make it "one game one price" - or make the DLC free. Otherwise save your resources for a new game.
80% of anti pineapple gays are literal unironic sheeple trying to fit in. Unless I believe theyre being truly sincere and genuine about not liking the taste, I actually feel a little embarrassment/cringe for the person. The same applies to coffee gays and steak gays
Unless you are french, italian or japanese you have negative culinary culture and your opinion doesn't matter.
By my authority I declare fruit on pizza dogshit.
Hehe, jokes aside italians would go feral at the sight of a pineapple pizza. It's heresy, but taste is taste. Many people don't like sour & sugary things also
I like pineapple on pizza sometimes, but I like it with pepperoni, not ham. That said, my preferred pizza toppings are typically pepperoni and sausage.
what does ranch even taste like
"heaven" isn't gonna be an answer, i want an honest description
Pineapple is just meh but an be very good with more spicy toppings. The hate is overblown either by people who just follow the trend or had a pizza with nothing to counterbalance the sweetness.
the main appeal of most single player games is the same as modern movie games, they're just especially tasteless about it. the adventure and fantasy aspect is what's memorable, the mechanics serve those ends.
Esports, Youtubers, and Twitch homosexuals ruined video games and it is entirely helped by Ganker being a bunch of zoomies basking in wigger culture and absolutely shit taste in entertainment as a whole.
Mario Galaxy and Klonoa are completely unremarkable games that are only fondly remembered by anyone because they were the first time a video game gave them an emotion other than happy or angry
I agree for the most part. Mario Galaxy is fun to me because of the planet/gravity mechanic but yeah those games pale in comparison to the other 3D Mario's in my opinion
Halo 4 is good
thats not controversial its just wrong
This isn't an opinion, it's just a fallacy.
This isn't an opinion, it's just a fallacy.
This isn't an opinion, it's just a fact.
Stop using words you don't understand, homosexual.
I never started in the first place. Don't project.
You never started using words? If it's just incoherent rambling I stand corrected.
I'm sure this sounded wittier in your head, but you're effectively calling out your initial insult here, moron.
>I like X game. I think it's very fun
>Lol, sounds like a fallacy bro!
Wut?
Nobody likes X. By stating that you like X, you are lying and baiting for attention.
Well, I could see where that would be true sometimes. But, it's still not a fallacy. That's called trolling.
I love licking feet more than I love sex
You ain't kiddin'
the idea of sex is more fun than actual sex
I like Nintendo. I think they are good at making fun games. I like having fun.
I think minesweeper is much better than freecell.
I never even bothered to learn how to play freecell. I'm a spider solitaire guy
Ubisoft makes fun games. Sure they’re all the same exact game with a different skin but I think they’re still fun.
Based. Ubisoft games are peak gaming whether you like it or not. They discovered a formula that just works, why change it?
games as a service is one of the best things happened to video games in a long, long time
dead serious
>”I own nothing and I’m happy.”
Congratulations, you’ve successfully been indoctrinated.
You're probably too young to both have a credit card and remember when you rented stuff from store, but this isn't a new thing. It's a blast from the past.
I am old enough to remember game rentals and Blockbuster.
The twist here is:
Back in the day you could buy your games or you could rent them.
Today, with "games as a service", you can only rent. Although this makes sense for games like MMOs and to some extent battle-royals, there is no reason you should not have the option to buying a game that is aimed as a solo experience.
Simply put, it is a business scheme to control the supply by eliminating secondary markets so the price and marketing is always controlled. It maximizes profit to everyone's detriment.
Pretty Blockbuster kicked you out if you called the cashier a Black person too
No see, the difference is back when you rented you had full right to play the game for the entire rental time. With games as a service if you sneeze wrong they can decide to ban you and remove your right to play altogether regardless of how much you paid. The "complete base game + DLC that is also complete and expands upon base game" model was perfect and needed no changes. The exact moment day 1 patching became and acceptable norm gaming started going on a downward spiral and only clueless moronic consumers like you believe otherwise.
The only good Mario games are 3, World, some of the RPGs and a couple sports games. Everything else sucks.
Mario Kart? They're all unbelievably bland shit. Mario Party? Just awful. Super Mario 64? Not that good, there's a reason very few games have ever copied it wholesale.
I take you never played mario kart or party with friends right?
guarantee he hasnt, even normies will play that shit with you and have a blast
Anything is fun with friends. By that measure Rogue Warrior is a good game.
Age of Empires 3 is way more fun than Age of Empires 2
true
Sticker Star is a good exploration and puzzle game.
Cloud streaming services are good.
I just got my Amazon Luna controller.
speedrunning is quite cool actually
autistic sure, but trivial things pushed to absolute extreme limits through raw autism is charming in its own way
yeah I can see this but I wish there more restrictions on glitch categories
I just want to see 100% glitchless runs or any% glitchless
it looks so fricking stupid when someone is speedrunning a 3d shooter game like half life and they just walk out of bounds for the whole run
we need more women and PoC centric games
global bans and heavy moderation are good things
I’m trans and exclusively vote Democrat by the way
That's a good looking 'za, but it needs some ranch.
#RanchGang
Indie games that are clones of other games isn’t a bad thing. If you enjoy a game you now have 15 games that ape it so there’s more to enjoy
Based ranchbro
Jalapeños on pizza are surprisingly good
what does ranch even taste like
"heaven" isn't gonna be an answer, i want an honest description
a better mayo
Tangy, creamy, cool.
It balances out theytapr spicy pizza nicely.
Ranch is white barbeque sauce but a touch more tart and sour.
dairy fat supercharged with even more fat from oil and then msg.
there's no such thing as good game design. everything is fundamentally just whether you yourself like something or not. the phrases good or bad game design are just used by people to make their opinions sound more objective when in reality, they're still the subjective opinions of randoms on the internet.
also pineapple goes better with pepperoni than ham.
in Finland we have pizza mexicana
That looks pretty good. I'd definitely eat that.
is there anyone who likes it when an otherwise well lit level doesnt light an exit properly? i mean thats just objectively bad design
>likes it
This is what I mean btw. Fundamentally this is just your opinion and you're using the phrase bad design to try to make your opinion sound objective.
it is my opinion that not lighting exits is bad gamedesign yea
regardless how can you think its not objectively bad to have an unlit exit, or other objectively unintuitive stuff like that
you aren't going to argue there's shitty design irl, aren't you? Why would designing a level in a video game be any different?
>video games
>irl
two separate things. realism is a meme in and of itself.

Your entire post is just purposely being obtuse and trying to argue opinions you don't hold is a silly school exercise.
I agree about games making memories making one play it more. "That moment" doesn't have to be about a boring moment in the game but a fun one.

re4 was bad, terrible plot, terrible enemies that give you ammo while atracking you with farm equipment, totally mess of a final section, bad villain
every re game has a terrible plot. thats the whole point you dumbass
Most of the games Ganker obsesses over aren't very good or good at all.
Recent examples: A.I., FFXIV, Fire Emblem
link between worlds is the best zelda game
Abstracting programming languages had done nothing but lead to incompetent software developers and low quality.
Gaming is a dying medium
Sonic Unleashed is good
Automatic matchmaking is ruining games.
Everyone who plays, cares about or seriously discusses Mario and/or Sonic is a manchild.
Final Fantasy 6 is the worst thing to ever happen to RPGs both eastern and western

What about 1v2, or 1v3?
I fricking hate dragon dogma. This game is shit. I can't even imagine anyone having fun with it. It feels like a cheap chinese mmorpg that you play solo.

OOT and MM are the only good Zelda games.
Link to the Past is objectively better than both
But Twilight Princess is the best one, THEN it's those two.
That's a zoomer opinion.
Twilight Princess is 15 years old at this point, half as old as I am. BotW is the zoomer Zelda if anything.
Zoomers haven't even been born when TP came out.
The Twilight Princess/Wind Waker era of Zelda is literally the beginning of the zoomer generation. Gamecube is not a boomer console.
Yeah, it's a millennial console.
t. millennial who was 10 when the Gamecube launched
Black personhomosexual
exactly the type of comeback from a zoomer
They are my least favorite 3D Zelda games. MM is one of my least favorite Zelda games period. Along with Four Swords shit and the DS games
Gaming was a lot more fun when people didn’t care so much about graphics. Now all people care about is graphics and it takes over a decade to make a game. I’d be happy fine if games stayed at 2010s-era complexity and we got more output.
Late PS2 era looking games running at modern resolutions and framerates is all I need.
Indie games and smaller studio are our saving grace.
Triple AAA games are trash and are ruining video games industry (i guess this part isn't that controversial.)
What indie games are worth playing? All I see are side scrollers.
Season 8 had its moments, and Season 9 was a respectable-enough finale.
Neither of them come close to the best years of the 'lot, sure, but they aren't unwatchable as some might claim.
Oblivion is the only good Elder Scrolls game
Re4 is the shittiest REgame, even shittier than 6.
i think that digimon world 2:
1) is the best digimon game ever
2) is MUCH better than pokemon mystery dungeon, and
3) is among the very best psx games overall

i never said it's perfect.

Probably that the triforce hunt in wind waker would have been better if there was more charts and hunting. I fricking love pulling up chests.

I don't drink anything except water and coffee. I was just trying to defend the guy who shops at lidl due to financial circumstances.
Frick you!
I dont understand. I was just trying to help
but is coffee good for us?
zoomers already start with 1996 iirc
Knockoff fizzy drinks are literal cancer in a bottle most of the time. Don't know about Europe and Lidl (I've only been there once during my trip to America and never tried any of their stuff) but that's how it is here in Russia
Holy shit what a moron. Pizza is not suppose to be that thick. It's doughy overly bready garbage. Real pizza is super thin.
kek nice that you're trying anon but you should really use some other dough recipe.
>pizza
>an inch thick
Not even bagels are this bad
Based focaccia crust making morons seethe. You should try a sourdough crust sometime.
how midwest are you
damn, you make pizza exactly like I do
>LIDL
queijo amanteigado?
I like a thick crust but that's a fricking loaf of bread mate.
The early 2000s was a better time to be a Sonic fan, I remember getting hyped with my next door neighbor friends playing the Sonic Adventure duology, and the classics (no division between them like now) and watching cool-ass Dragonball z inspired flash animations ( I'm not talking about that nazo one either, more like Sonic and shadow fighting) I remember one artist put Sonic in this edgy cyberpunk world fancomic and it was cool as hell, how can some of you on Ganker deny any of that in favor of your constant soijacking of 16-bit nostalgia and obsessing with the American advertising of the 90s. Or whatever the modern-neo-soijak-sonictard is gagging about
Also the Sonic Adventure remix album is absolute peak kino
darksouls 1 goes to shit after s&o
Mario 64 is the only good 3d Mario game
Assassins Creed 1 is the best game in the series
sorry but it's objectively 2
hawaiian pizza is shit
it's shit
I think the spectacle of visuals in games is over-rated and played out and has been for about a decade. I would rather a game have a notable style and atmosphere than better visual appearance.
Graphical detail and fidelity should serve the ends of the game not the masturbatory fetishistic self-indulgent excesses of a graphics designer.
bots are good for the ingame economy
Fire Emblem: Three Houses is a terrible video game. One of the worst games I've played since the NES days. It's also highly likely that most of the praise and waifu simping was originally inorganic shilling.
it's garbage compared to the previous entries but i think that it's easily one of the best strategy games on switch
Sound is more important than graphics
Most of naruto games are masterpieces. Gamecube. PS2. Wii, PS360 era, all "storm" ones...
sounds a lot like you just like naruto
Maybe. Just play the "ultimata ninja 5" or "Accel 2". I have no fricking idea how that runs on a ps2.
They are the best anime licensed games but still far from being masterpieces honestly
Lol no. Even subpar DBZ games are far better than the best Naruto games.
Yeah I wish. I'm a fan of DB and don't really care about Naruto but that's just how things are. I mean, DB games are better than One Piece shovelware for example but still
I don't think BOTW is a very good zelda game or a very good game to begin with
The Boomer/Gen-x audience ranting about videogames in the early-mid 2000s were all gays, and had long-term consequences on the medium,
OP asked for opinions, not redpills.
Games are unironically satanic and rot away your soul, and the entire medium needs to be burned down and salted in order to start again and pave the way for the platinum age of educational and simulator games
My favourite game is Warcraft 3 so please dont (you) me
I hate the DS split screen.
Imo, Nintendo went to shit starting with the Nintendo DS
My most controversial opinion is that Nintendo never went to shit and that even the WiiU had fun games
That's just reasonable. Even the Virtual Boy had Wario Land.
>be one of those "PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?" people
>actually try pineapple on pizza
>it's really, really good
Don't knock it until you try it
>be one of those "PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?" people
>actually try pineapple on pizza
>it's actually worse than I thought
Many such cases. With each passing day I realise that I'm actually right most of the time and not simply a 'moronic anti-fun contrarian'
I can't be bothered posting a chudjak right now so imagine I greentexted your post with a smug chudjak next to it
Don't have a wojak folder so let's just imagine I replied with 'cope' and some soijak eating a pineapple pizza
heh, a worthy adversary
>Don't knock it until you try it
I have. It's shit. Spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, anchovies, mushrooms, eggplants, and red onions are better toppings.
look guys, we have a hipster over here!
>uuumm, where are the eggplants in this pizzeria?? I can't even...ugh...
I only go to locally owned pizza joints because the fat fricks who own them know how to make actually good 'za. Doesn't make me a hipster, it makes me a gourmand.
>you don't get it, normie. I am a gourmand, I only eat at specially selected local pizza joints
The quality of pizza is directly proportional to how much of a fat frick the owner of the pizza joint is.
that's an interesting observation
would you trust a skinny chef?
Ruined 'a. Pineapple is only good with icecream n shit.
Mass Effect 2 is the worst ME game. Just a bland cover shooter that shits up whatever ME1 was doing as an RPG. Play 3's multiplayer if you want good gameplay, play 1 if you want a good RPG. Skip the rest.
Noted. I liked 1 as an RPG but could never get into 2. I've thought about giving it another go sometime.
Same but with Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, replace bland cover shooter with bland hack and slash
I'm not an angry man, but behead those who put pineapple on pizza.
Many times I've gone to a pizza place and almost found the perfect pizza and then - it has pineapple in it. Stop it. Get some help.
Not related to gaming, but Godzilla, Ultraman, Gamera, Kamen Rider, should have spots on the Toonami block in the 2000s, and they could have opened the door for kids at the time to be more interested in Japan at the time,
also, the 2004 Devilman film isn't that bad, it has a message that's accurate to the modern world we live in now.
>2004 Devilman film isn't that bad
Why would anyone ever watch this garbage when they could just watch the 80's OVAs
I wonder if Megami Tensei was influenced by classic Devilman
probably not
Those were the longest 40 minutes in my life, that OVA sucked ass
Well that's because Megami Tensei sucks in general
Pineapple on pizza is shit tier but only because banana on pizza exist and is vastly superior.
Why are those peas upside down
keter class reality altering phenomenon
There's also pear pizza which apparently is a classic Italian recipe
there's something seriously wrong with those peas
People who don't understand this pizza, are people with very limited amount of taste buds
The best pizza is Pepperoni, Sausage & Pineapple.
My problem with Hawaiian pizza is the ham, I hate meat with cold, clammy, slimy textures.
>& Pineapple.
lol this homie rides on the short bus for sure
I think Dark Souls 2 is the best souls game unironically. And I dont even PVP
Tribes 2 > Tribes 1
Banjo (and Rare for that matter) was never good.
I think Dark Souls 2 is the worst in the series and not the best one.
not controversial
I think Runescape is fricking dog shit
runescape players think rs is dogshit
BLACK OLIVES
PINEAPPLE
BACON
DOUBLE CHEESE
SMT Nocturne is unbearably boring on normal and unbearably RNG-dependent on hard.
The first Donkey Kong Country has very uninspired level design on the level of fan games with some of the laziest, shittiest boss fights ever put in a platformer. It is carried hard by graphics and music.
Chrono Trigger simply doesn't deserve its reputation as one of the best games ever, let alone one of the best RPGs ever. It's a solid beginner's RPG that has been put on a pedestal by people who have played at most five RPGs in their life.
Age of Empires 3 is better than 2 and 1, the reasons 2 got more popular because everyone can play it and Ensemble cash in on the nostalgia bait (and hit the jackpot too)
Most VNs are actually really well written and they're not just "books but worse"
Frick pineapple and ham. It's pineapple and pepperoni
actually it's pineapple and ham [spoiler]and shrimp/spoiler][/spoiler]
That sounds good.
Breath of Fire 1 Ryu is the best looking JRPG protagonist in all of gaming, and is the most noble, manly, and brave of them all.
I actually like Cuphead's run & gun stages. They may not be as visually interesting as the bosses but they play fine. Every stage has a good amount of enemy variety and none of them are recycled. Not many run & gun games share that feat. The King's Leap was the real disappointment. Sure, they look better, but they're just parry minigames where you're not even ranked on. The gauntlet doesn't even feel like one because your health is fully restored after each round.
I like pepperoni and pineapple on pizza.
Also I think deep rock galactic is shallow and boring, even playing with 3 friends.
Korean grindy MMO RPGs are fun.
Nintendo games aren't fun. Their only ips I find fun are Xenoblade and FE and that's partially because of all the shit flinging that happens in their threads.
Mike Morhaime was the only reason why Blizzard was an awesome developer.
The fact that he peaced out of the sinking ship to found Dreamhaven and continue his vision is evidence of that.
Games casting the same group of English voice actors, is a good indication that it will never change or evolve from it's downtrodden state
ds2 is better than ds1
Zelda peaked in 2D, OoT and MM are genuinely mediocre games fueled entirely by nostalgia and peer pressure and of the 3D Zeldas TP is the best even with it's numerous faults.
I HATE NNTEDO SWITCH JOY CONS AND PORTABLE MODE
consoles bad
I got some in the fridge imma eat later. pepporni, ham pineappple. Was gud last night
Forget about pineapples, black olives taste like shit even more, I don't know how anyone wants to eat that on their pizza
they's good with fish
I like putting pineapple on my video games
Any developer who releases DLC content that has been in development before the game released, deserves to get pirated. Make it "one game one price" - or make the DLC free. Otherwise save your resources for a new game.
Wind Waker is the best Zelda
Games are the sum of their parts. Story, graphics, and music are all almost as important as gamplay.
80% of anti pineapple gays are literal unironic sheeple trying to fit in. Unless I believe theyre being truly sincere and genuine about not liking the taste, I actually feel a little embarrassment/cringe for the person. The same applies to coffee gays and steak gays
The pinapple hate startrd as a meme from a yearbook quote.
So yeah, sheeple.
>The pinapple hate startrd as a meme from a yearbook quote.
of course, sweet summer chidl
Unless you are french, italian or japanese you have negative culinary culture and your opinion doesn't matter.
By my authority I declare fruit on pizza dogshit.
>or japanese
>nothing but raw fish, onions sauce and sticky rice
Jap food is dogshit m8. Replace them with thai and i'll let you live
Japan has the most micheline stars rated restaurants behind France. You are factually wrong.
I declare, by my authority as an anonymous poster, that your opinion is dogshit.
Hehe, jokes aside italians would go feral at the sight of a pineapple pizza. It's heresy, but taste is taste. Many people don't like sour & sugary things also
Even tomato?
DELETE
I like pineapple on pizza sometimes, but I like it with pepperoni, not ham. That said, my preferred pizza toppings are typically pepperoni and sausage.
Creamy with a bit of an herbal twang.
I just don't like mixing sweet and savoury
Pineapple is just meh but an be very good with more spicy toppings. The hate is overblown either by people who just follow the trend or had a pizza with nothing to counterbalance the sweetness.
Metroid Prime Hunters is the best online game Nintendo ever made.
Fallout 4 is a really good game, and its only serious flaw lay with the poorly developed factions that you are forced to choose between.
Tekken 2 and 4 had the best atmosphere and tone of the Tekken games. 5,6 and 7 are too weeb anime.
the main appeal of most single player games is the same as modern movie games, they're just especially tasteless about it. the adventure and fantasy aspect is what's memorable, the mechanics serve those ends.
>Ganker thread on Ganker
These are always comfy to me.
damn where is this chinese restaurant?
that's a perfect hangover food
>music is most important part in a game
>souls games are lame
>remake re2 is better than re2, but re3 remake is worse than re3
>Durian
See, not only is that not good on pizza, it straight up isn’t good at all.
Esports, Youtubers, and Twitch homosexuals ruined video games and it is entirely helped by Ganker being a bunch of zoomies basking in wigger culture and absolutely shit taste in entertainment as a whole.
I don't like Kaneko art in DMC3 and SMT3
Uncharted is a great series and I wished they made more games.
60 hours is way too long for a video game
Mario Galaxy and Klonoa are completely unremarkable games that are only fondly remembered by anyone because they were the first time a video game gave them an emotion other than happy or angry
I agree for the most part. Mario Galaxy is fun to me because of the planet/gravity mechanic but yeah those games pale in comparison to the other 3D Mario's in my opinion
