    Music is even more overrated than graphics when it comes to an aspect of what makes a videogame good

    infact music works as a manchild manipulator that would make someone think a bad game is actually good based on how the music made them feel

            they have different priorities for different audience they have a lazy way of doing it with just adding license music to pander to said audience

            because they don't care about how well a game is rated especially about manchildren
            critical reception is not as important as money

            likewise, the indie market is nostalgiab8 central so theres more incentive to make music that sounds like is from that era rather than licensed music with hiphopslop

        Why aren't corporations focusing on that angle as much as graphics if it's such a good disguise for shit?

        Serious answer?
        Music needs multiple iterations to create a good one. You can't just throw money and force music to be good.
        Same for graphics, if you actually want to create good graphics with great artstyle, it will requires experimentation and multiple iterations to get it right.
        That's why they went for the easiest solution - realism. Just make everything looks like real life and call it "good graphics"
        So today you learnt, corporate didn't focus on good music, they certainly didn't focus on good graphics either.

    Casual games are more fun than most other genres, by design.

    Anonymous

    Most of modern games are boring because they are made for a mass audience, so it's better for the developers to have 9 out of 10 people say "it was OK" than to have 3/10 say "it was the best game in the world, 3/10 say "it was the worst game in the world."
    Physics and storyline are more important than graphics, BUT with today's capabilities, game developers can't explain poor graphics by focusing on something else.
    I love games with sexy chicks, even if the game is mediocre, I'd rather play it 2 times than a popular title with an ugly chick.
    A female character in a video game is only interesting if she is sexy, if she reveals a lot of her sexy body, and doesn't have the offended face of a feminist complaining about men and whining that "you don't have to worry about her because she can take care of herself."

      I wish your opinion was a norm. Would I go out of my way to play say Xenoblade 2? Probably not. Do I feel offended that people enjoy Xenoblade 2? Why the frick would I? The only reason why I get mad at the Twitter mob and the games they enjoy is because they keep leaving their bubble to go after the games other people enjoy. If you want your game where your troony MC goes buttfricking all the rainbow hair colored NPCs then I cannot stop you from spending your money as you choose. If someone asks me what I think of the game, I'll probably call it dogshit. But that's different than signing a fricking petition to censor the game because I and my 10 friends think it's "harmful" while also saying "it's just a game"when called on my own favorite game.

      I think it's a case of the well being poisoned. E-celebs like AVGN were around long before gaming began mainstream and most of the video games he looks at are older or disconnected from the hype machine. Whether you agree with his opinions or you think he's a loser homosexual it's undeniable that he does what he does because he loves video games. But video games are mainstream. YouTube is mainstream. And streaming now counts as employment. So when an e-celeb says they like a game it's harder to know if that opinion is genuine or if they're saying whatever they need to say to get clicks and donos

    Mighty No9 isn't a bad game, it's a flawed gem. It's actually a lot like the original Megaman 1.

    Megaman and Mighty No9 both:
    >Are a little too difficult for their target audience with some frustrating insta-deaths, platforming, and bosses that feel too overwhelming
    However, Megaman and Mighty No9 both:
    >Have a great soundtrack (this cannot be understated, MN9's soundtrack is fricking great)
    >Play really well, MN9's fast paced gameplay is so good
    >When you've attained a level of mastery over the games, the bad stuff isn't so apparent and you can just enjoy the good of it.

    If Mighty No9 2 were allowed to happen, I firmly believe that they'd polish out the rough spots and the game would become as highly regarded as Megaman 2.

      People only look up sales numbers and reviews for the sake of winning internet arguments because they are a solid number that you can Google and reference from a "professional" source. If I say game is good and you say game is bad then even if you give a list of quantifiable reasons why game is bad, I can just pull up a list of how many people bought it. Because if game is bad then so many people wouldn't have bought it. Therefore you can seethe and mald. Even though a lot of people can be tricked into buying a bad game. See the No Man's Sky fiasco. By contrast if I say game is good and you say game is bad and you show a link to a lot of bad review scores then I have no choice but to cope regardless of what arguments I make. Even though good games might not get good critical reception. See Godhand

      That's only because you're still allowed to move freely in Resident Evil 4. Traditionally escort missions suck ass because you're forced to follow along with an NPC that doesn't move as quickly or efficiently as you nor does it have the intelligence to get from A to B without dying. So it falls to you to protect a moron without being able to go where you want to go or do what you want to do until he crosses the street

        But that's the purpose of escort mission though. If you are tasked to escort an VIP, you don't drive off on your own and do what the frick you want. If the NPC is so competent, then he shouldn't need you to escort him in the first place.

          That is entirely true. Do you want to know what else is true? I can't use my options to their fullest potential if I'm trapped at the NPC escorts pace. Resident Evil 4 solve this problem by making Ashley follow Leon closely and if things get too dicey then Leon can put her in a dumpster until things cool down. Which is good but let's not pretend like that's the norm

            That's one way to do escort mission. Other game let you tell the NPC to wait in place, so you can go ahead and deal with the threat at your own leisure. However, I think the fun of escort mission is to deal with immediate danger and managing threat priority on the fly.

    Set protagonists are always better than blank-slate stand ins. You are legitimately not achieving anything in your game by making the Orc look like a monster version of your real life self. It's not going to increase your immersion or roleplay, it's a waste of time. You roleplay by making choices in the game or choosing how to approach situations, and you can do that with a set protagonist.

        not it was not? I played halo 3 in 07-12. by this time, XBL had a good system to detect cheaters and popped them when they went online. yes the H3 modding community was strong but they stayed local on their machines or lan events

      >I genuinely consider TF2 and Halo 3 peak multiplayer
      I have to agree. I miss the times when PC multiplayer games had a server browser of dedicated servers instead of the modern way of matchmaking. The ability to host and join servers meant that everyone could find their people and a lot of servers hosted modded maps and shit. I remember playing on a Battlefield 1942 server back in the day, it was the Berlin map but infantry only. On this server however, there was a specific way to glitch through a building and go out of the map bounds without dying. Once you got far enough, there was a plane you could pilot for bombing. One of the server regulars taught me how to get the plane and it is one of my most memorable multiplayer experiences.

      You just don't get that anymore with matchmaking. It's all set up and manufactured by the developers with season passes and daily missions that FOMO people into playing certain modes/classes/whatever for a little reward. There's no sense of overall camaraderie. No finally beating that player that wiped the floor with you on the server you play on. Damn the state of modern multiplayer shooters sucks to me. I mostly stopped playing them altogether.

        I agree with everything you said. I was hunting for that experience from 2010-2015 and just gave up. It doesn't exist anymore.
        And it's too late now but pic was a criminally underrated BF game. You can tell the B team that made it just wanted to make a good 'ol BF game and no one was watching them so they went all out with the tools they had. despite only being 3 maps and 3 classes, shit was kino. you had that same camaraderie feel and rivals. shit like
        >alright I don't care if we win or lose but they are not taking this beach again.
        and two other party members agree and you guys just defend the point on the beach like your online account depends on it
        What makes me sad is that it doesn't' exist. What makes me said is that newer generations aren't experiencing that feel and bond. If you don't have irl friends, it helps a lot to get that in a game. I hope the people that aren't getting that in a game find that somewhere.

    I played the first 3 Metal gear solid games in a row and I can’t understand how Kojima is praised because the writing and pacing is fricking horrendous.
    A friend watched me play and we started joking about how predictable and stupid the cutscenes were as they all follow a pattern. For example:
    >Interrupted by codec
    >Snake there’s a bomb about to go off?
    >Snake: “A bomb?!”
    >45 minute long explanation of the origin of bombs with stock footage behind it.
    >Anyway Snake, stop the bomb.
    I mean ffs, Snake is on a stealth mission, kills 4 guys who have invisibility suits in an elevator and DOESN'T take 1 with him. It’s not like he can’t figure out how to use it as Otocon uses one.

    I feel like 2’s story is so commonly misunderstood due to combination of plot holes and that they throw so many “plot twists” at you in a row with no time to breathe or take them in. Jesus Christ: it goes from confronting metal gear to saying frick that and fighting solidus to saying frick that and having “I’m 14 and this is deep conversations with AI” all to then go back to fighting Solidus who just goes: “oh btw I killed your parents lmao”.

    The gameplay is solid (except 1; didn’t age that well) visuals and audio hold up pretty well. But man these games are a product of the times. And if you think the writings good chances are you played them as a child or have the IQ of one.

        This one is the biggest one. It used to be if you wanted to measure your social work you did so with the amount of friends that you had. Friends that you had to exist in the same space with. That you could, you know, see and touch. With the advent of social media the same standard of friends being a measure of social standing is still there only now you never even have to meet somebody to be their friend. It's literally the click of a button. So now you don't have to have social interaction or skills. You just have to be good enough at drawing attention to yourself that people will click on your profile so that they can see more. They're talking at a screen. They're not interacting with a person. Sometimes they're just interacting with Bots. And the quality of discussion is so low that you might not even notice the difference. You have people who are so enamored with online personalities that they've developed parasocial relationships with people that they have never seen or met or had an actual conversation with. Where's the part when you learn how to hold a conversation with another human being?

            NTA but rent-free is a colloquial term that has been around since forever. Worse than that though is that your problem with photo mode doesn't appear to have anything to do with the mode itself but rather the people who like it. Your opinion on something is entirely contingent on someone else's opinion on something. What happens if Reddit decides they hate photo mode tomorrow? Are you going to suddenly like it?
