Lunchabully posted:DXHR's mechanics aren't great but its biggest problem is that its protagonist is a humorless, boring prick in a humorless, boring world. The original Deus Ex's mechanics weren't stellar either but at least you got to play as autistic secret agent superman firing rockets at Illuminati dinosaurs in an undersea laboratory. 90% of your time in HR is spent fighting bland soldiers in office spaces

Actually that’s some pretty good “games journalism”, because the editors knew that particular writer sucks at/hates platforming and they thought it’d be funny... But then they asked him to write a review of a game he hated and immediately sucked at, instead of just lol’in at him and giving him a fighting game or a racing game.

I'm really not of the mind that you have to be good at games to necessarily review them well, but this Cuphead guy is not making a strong case for himself as someone who understands criticism very well. You can regard something with a great eye critically and still hate it (looking at you Jane Austen, Goddard, Michael Bay), while loving something you know is garbage from a critical perspective (looking at you massive collection of superhero stories I've read over the course of my lifetime). Why no I'm not able to appreciate Victorian-era parlor drama, urban ennui as seen through a guy filming his favorite girls, and enjoying technical masterworks when they present some of the ugliest facets of humanity imaginable, but I still know how to recognize the genius inherent in those things and why they're important to the media as a whole. I also love children's fiction that presents 20th century archetype in bright shiny colors while recognizing that the vast majority of it doesn't have anything interesting nor worthwhile to say about humanity beyond the broadest macro and most specific micro levels possible.

Most lives were spawn in and try to throw every grenade you had before you exploded. Average life expectancy was something like 5 seconds. If you were super lucky you would get an air strike and kill 20 people with it. Fun times.

We can all agree that Fallout 3 and 4 are bad, but it's less popular, yet still correct, that New Vegas is bad as well. Better than the other two, sure, but nowhere near good enough for the IP. I recall the first time I made it to Vegas proper I couldn't believe just how lame and unimpressive the city was, especially as it was split across several loading zones. I managed to get through the DLC where you end up in some canyon, but the one with robots on the moon or something was so boring I quit right there. FO1&2 were the only actually good ones, but if you didn't play them new, I wouldn't expect you to appreciate them. A lot of the UX really shows its age these days. It's a shame Fallout ended up with Bethesda. Another IP casualty to their worship of expansive and bland open world titles.

I really loved New Vegas but yeah, in hindsight I can admit that I was settling for less. It did have its virtues though. The soundtrack, the general style, the willingness to carry over the lore from 1&2, some of the weapons and characters, and the very flexible mod potential were all huge points in its favor. I'll take half of a New Vegas over a dozen Fallout 3 & 4s any day.

New Vegas is the best role playing game ever made, but it's a genre that doesn't often prioritise graphics or gameplay so its appeal remains fsirly niche
