Call Of Duty has been complete dogshit since CoD 2. Not Modern Warfare 2, but the WW2 shooter, Call Of Duty 2. Bungee sucks rear end. Blizzard has been total poo poo since the activision merger and hasn't shipped a product worth the packaging it comes in since The Burning Crusade. Bioware sucks and hasn't made a dece game since Mass Effect 2. People who play RPGs to gently caress aliens or mod skyrim to have dicks and titties are creepy and lame.

i hope bethsoft licenses a Fallout spinoff to Obsidian again, because the gulf in quality between F3 and F:NV was frankly loving ridiculous. The worst part of F:NV were the things they couldn't get rid of from F3, like old assets and the game engine itself. I liked skyrim though. Yeah its a very stupid, poorly written game but it's maybe the best world bethesda has ever constructed.

voiced RPGs are fine as long as they're not sandbox RPGs. If you try to be a sandbox exploration game like fallout, it's a dogshit world shrinking bad idea done for people who are absolutely the most retarded demographic within games players, the ones who are averse to reading things. however if you're going for something more story driven, voicing works fine. See, The Witcher 3.

if video games were food, Blizzard-Activision makes rice mash and other toddler-friendly foods. D3 was no exception and they didn't make it better at any point, the changes they made just shifted it into a different kind of lovely. Activision and public shareholders are the worst things that ever happened to Blizzard.

Blazing Ownager posted:Actually you just gave me fuel for the one I'll defend whole heartedly: Command & Conquer -> Starcraft hard. the problem was that EA had a cancelled game on their hands, in the form of a very bad idea intended for the asian market. Most of the assets and code were built apparently, and EA clearly has a problem with just letting go, unable to accept that some game concepts just aren't meant to be. They slapped a bunch of C&C branding on there and paid Joe Kucan to Kane it up in front of a green screen for 20 mins or w/e, then released a product that has apparently poisoned the franchise. and EA just can't stop trying to inject a bunch of f2p bullshit because the reason the new C&C Generals game also failed was because players more or less revolted in the alpha as they started adding changes that moved it towards some cash shop bullshit. EA these days only wants to make games you can complete or enjoy after investing in a bunch of frivolous horseshit that costs a couple times more than the base game and tbh im glad they're not touching C&C anymore since their intent with it is clearly straight up malevolent and anathema to what a RTS really is. Also Red Alert 3 loving suuuuucked and the cutscenes including some cool people could not change that. Building the campaign around co-op? really? go gently caress yourself EA. im salty about EA now and forever.

CD Projekt red streamlined crafting a lot after they released Blood & Wine. It's maybe the most painless crafting system in RPGs right now. Fallout 4's is the worst. It's cool in theory to be modding guns and stuff but in practice bethesda can go gently caress itself with all that hunting for adhesive and high-end parts.

I disagree usually, but for Fallout 4 tgm for basebuilding and I built a script to max out weapon and armor parts. I shouldn't have to do that for a crafting system to be functional imo.

the basebuilding in particular is very obviously bethesda stapling a kind-of cool Fallout 3 mod in order to pad the content of the game. That said I really like weapon modding and stuff, that's really well done, but it's also a cop-out way for them to make distinct items without putting a bunch of man hours into making actual content. I paid for it brand new, and I shelved it for a while to play Witcher 3, a better game imo, but I ended up playing F4 quite a bit, and I can't say I regret it. It has a lot of problems but if you like Fallout games it's just fine. Bethesda shouldn't have voiced the protagonist and the plot is garbage, but there's a fun but flawed game in there. Luckily the worst part - the basebuilding - is totally optional save for one brief lategame moment.

Overwatch styles itself like TF2, and mechanically disguises itself as any kind of team shooter of that vein, but in reality a lot of places where things like skill, gameplay, and fun exist in a game like Team Fortress 2, it has been instead turned into a lovely skinner box that makes even the dumb idiot who went 0:30 feel special. In fact it goes far enough to make him feel special that it's probably nearly impossible to get 0:30 without the game giving you a free kill somehow. It's a sad reflection of gaming in general, and the distilled essence of what made WoW lovely: It's not a game where you 'earn' recognition by playing the game well, you earn it by mouthbreathing for enough hours, being made to feel special enough to sink your dumb loving wallet full of idiot dollars with your fat loser fingers into pudgily typing in the credit card number for the nth time to buy cosmetics and generally imagine spider-girl's fat rear end getting pumped in the 70gb overwatch folder you've got to fap with between/during matches.

Bioshock infinite is actually a good game. It's Bioshock with better environment design, dimension hopping, and making GBS threads on conservatism, xenophobia, and nostalgia for the past. Plenty to enjoy there. Bioshock 2 is loving awful. It's just bioshock, except Rapture is even more broken I guess? an excuse to reuse all of the assets, and the plot was essentially a dumb and angry response to Ken Levine's pretty ruthless takedown of objectivism and libertarianism. Basically a copy paste of the first game but with an overarching theme of "WHAT ABOUT COMMUNISM???" Garbage game i'm glad I never paid for it. Infinite wasn't the best game ever but I sincerely enjoyed it and there's no reason it takes the amount of poo poo it has been subject to.

left 4 dead was good when it was new, but a rushed out sequel that was barely a badly balanced expansion and the fact that a semi-dynamic AI and asymettrical pvp doesn't make the game fun the millionth time. I know nearly every map so well that even though i havent played it in years i could probably jump in like i never left. I wouldn't play it again, but it was a pretty unique and cool game at the time, and I still have a shirt and swag from playing it at quakecon back in 2007. most of the genre is really bad. I regret buying day z and project zomboid

in F4 i think the railroad is supposed to be the clearcut good choice, but their morals are placated on the idea that androids are human, when they're factually not. You can watch the human-like ones being assembled. They're made specifically to increase the limited labor pool of the institute, and that's basically it. The institute is dumb for needing realistic synths for whatever reason, but the railroad is dumber for making the liberation of androids their hill to die on, and it makes bethesda really dumb for thinking that making the good guys idiots and the "bad" buys a bunch of well meaning nerds fully intent on improving life on the surface for humans, and the Brotherhood Of Steel East Coast Division having clearly reverted to their roots of morally grey militaristic technology hoarding, are the closest thing to an organized overt bad guy

It's still fun to talk about because I haven't done a BoS or Railroad run yet, and maybe they flesh out enough to justify their stupidity, but the BoS seems straight up fascist and the railroad so incredibly misguided that I kind of can't believe bethesda missed the mark so hard

Rutibex posted:bethesda needs to stop trying to tell stories. their strength is creating big fantasy world simulations, not linear stories. i put many hundreds of hours into the elder Scrolls games going back all the way to Daggerfall, and i have never bothered to beat a single one of them. the "main quest" was always the most boring aspect! If they do that they really badly need to be joint ventures with better storytellers. New Vegas is a legitimately good fallout game where the story is the main draw The New Vegas thread in games is still active with tons of discussion with ropekid/josh sawyer sharing his thoughts since he was a senior or lead game designer on it. People still talk about and argue about which sides and stories are the best, not merely the least lovely. I get what you're saying and TES works as a cumulative experience most of the time.(excrpt pblivipn straight up sucks except maybe a few dark brotherhood moments), but fallout deserves to be more than "elder scrolls, but post apocalyptic retro futurr"

The ideal RTS is #1. Super hammy cutscenes #2 a game built around the single player campaign. the campaign is more important than any retarded multiplayer poo poo #4 it needs to be made by westwood studios

JIZZ DENOUEMENT posted:CoH and Dawn of War were definitely good though. RTS's are good, and it's great when there are more onboard. It's not that it's too hard or anxiety, it's just that starcraft style multiplayer where the only way to not be poo poo on is to follow a meta, follow strict fast build orders and work on tolerating and being good at doing the most tedious poo poo in the game, making sure you know what a patch change is going to change for you, outweighs any satisfaction from a victory. It's tedium. A good campaign is so important because I don't care about online competition at all. At all. I'm not 15 anymore, and I don't give a poo poo about a KD ratio or ranking10 plat in season 1 1v1. It's just straight up not fun. It's not fun in a blizzard game, or a relic game, or even a C&C game. Know what's fun? Invading america and levelling the pentagon with a horde of soviet conscripts while the obviously evil psychic and buffon premier congratulate you on your victories. Having to look up and read things because you're getting dick stomped by lovely lame but totally legit strategies like 6 pool and 2 raxx that require a precise response to actually recover from and not lose immediately or in 5 minutes, is nothing any normal person will ever want to learn

Season 1 there was only briefly a special snowflake rank over diamond and you saw cheese well into diamond. I dont gove a gently caress about the game beyond this and literally the majority of people dont either, this was the window blizzard had to make people give a poo poo. In starcraft yes literally just mastering build orders would statistically let you win enough for platinum rank and apm+ability to scout/react/adapt would put you in diamond. This means unit management and timely expansions and micro comes into play but it's a natural, miserable progression and you dont notice it. It takes a masochist or a sadist to keep doing it for fun and a delusional or desperate bastard to have mlg dreams but thats the only reason to keep improving since the game is straight up negative fun well before that level of play.
