Suspicious Lump posted:Actually, there's my unpopular opinion, rogue-like games are horrible. They're usually combined with random generated levels which are a poor substitute for good fashion level design. Every game can be improved with good levels + a story. Rogue-like game remove both, things and lack a cohesive story and progression. Good procedural generation is the future but bad procedural generation sucks. I'd be surprised if some battlefield/fortnite type games with a lot of money and servers behind them already don't have aggressively adequate AI generated maps within 5 years. It'll be a joke sometimes but it'll be so much better than playing the same 6 maps perpetually that most players won't care poverty goat fucked around with this message at 14:46 on Aug 11, 2021 |

i'd much rather have a few well designed levels/maps than a bunch of procedurally generated crap. A lot of the most popular competitive games have only one map (rocket league, league of legends, chess)

A lot of the most popular competitive games have only one map (rocket league, league of legends, chess) This is why it has to be better first. But we're already at the point where a small AI on your RTX card that no human really understands can guess what real-life looks like better than the GPU can draw it using humanity's finest algorithms so I think a machine that can competently conceive 6 or more balanced battlefield hellscapes per year isn't far behind poverty goat fucked around with this message at 15:02 on Aug 11, 2021 |

are you trying to say that in a few years real life will look like battlefield hellscapes and we'll have AI that can draw them for video games because that sounds pretty correct

pc gamers just play frames, they don't even play games just constant benchmarking and restarting and then they don't even play the games thousands of hours downloading and installing unplayed mods

if your smartypants ai can only spit out 6 decent maps per year (because it's either slow or the mountain of crap it creates still needs curating and/or tweaking by people) then you might as well still have people design maps in the first place

Roguelike/lite games such as FTL where the meta-progression is unlocking new alternate ships and playstyles are good. Roguelike/lite games where the meta-progression is "winning is impossible at first, then basically guaranteed as you stack campaign bonuses" suck rear end and are dumb.

steinrokkan posted:Pretending that marginally better performance in a video game is a transcendental experience is the true pinnacle of stupid PC gaming cultism. So have you tried hdmi 2.1 / OLED / 120hz with almost zero response time or are you just making things up I have a PS5/PS4 and a Switch which is basically a glorified ti-86 calculator that plays games. I’m not even sure I would classify myself as a primarily pc gamer. When I say those PC features are amazing I’m not looking down on console gaming or “normal” pc gaming. They are in my opinion incredible advances and must be seen to be appreciated but I’m also fine that many people don’t care about them. Why would I care how other people find their enjoyment. It’s kinda weird how you can post about something you like and it’s sometimes seen as belittling other things, like you’re only allowed to appreciate one thing in a group of things and liking one means you don’t like the other. Switch is good, playstation is good. Pc is good even if you’re not maximizing its potential. Gaming is good

Deep Rock Galactic demonstrates how procedural maps can add to a gameplay experience, although that's more about the game being cleverly designed around the procgen's limitations than the procgen being perfect and amazing.hawowanlawow posted:someone had this idea and then made skyrim and fallout 4 where you can do everything on one character and everything is just kind of mediocre I really doubt that making you do multiple playthroughs to see all of the content would somehow make Skyrim not mediocre.

He'd had it for months. I went to visit one Christmas, swapped the cables and his mind was blown. It had never occurred to him what those three extra wires were for so he just left them unplugged.

I will generously extend my unpopular videogame opinion to "the Shining Force duology were the best Genesis games" if it will make you happy I tried to play SF3 on an emulator once after a translation patch came out and gave up almost immediately, I often wonder if it was any good. Shining Force was pretty much my introduction to RPGs and cemented me as a strategy RPG lover

Well at least the player versus player ones. Good games if you disagree you're wrong and dumb. Nox, Myth 1 and 2, Command and Conquer Renegade, Savage: Battle for Newerth, Unreal Tournament 98.

Duck and Cover posted:Command and Conquer Renegade This had some amazing multiplayer. Nothing will beat the high of executing a successful engineer rush. I'm surprised more games haven't tried the "RTS but everyone is a grunt." That's one of the reasons I liked Narural Selection 2 so much.

Tosk posted:I will generously extend my unpopular videogame opinion to "the Shining Force duology were the best Genesis games" if it will make you happy sf3 is good but it's got far too much boring dialogue, especially upfront. i've only completed scenario 1, actually had it on the saturn. my saturn was broke and wiped its data when you turned it off so we left the game on for weeks at a time. played sc2 and a bit of 3, more of the same stuff so there's load of it if you can get into it. the battle system is the same as 2 with extra features like unit friendship etc, and it's got a lot of good secrets as you go along. going back to linearity after 2 is a bit of a downgrade, but on the plus side the game is more consistently challenging than 2 which even on the hardest setting is a cakewalk except for about 3 battles. it's a shame that series died.
