thomawesome posted:The Dreamcast is only held in high regard sure to nostalgia and Sega fans clinging on to whatever shreds of dignity that existed at that point for Sega. im a big dreamcast fan and i also agree it was not really that great and the coming release of the ps2 would have loving shredded it in both hardware performance and software quality but i love bad, weird, gimmicky games and the dreamcast is chock full of them.

the first one was alright but it was pretty much a super serious rehash of resident evil 4, one of the most entertaining games ever made

mass effect 1 had the potential of being a good game but its clear they were more interested in the things that made it a bad game and axed all of the good things about it from the sequels in favor of making it a 'mary sue saves the universe' game i just wanted to be captain kirk and swagger around the galaxy doing poo poo but it was all just an illusion to get you back on the main storyline in which single christ figure saves the universe singlehandedly

FogHelmut posted:collecting ingredients and forging items is lame as hell it works if you get a sense of excitement when you find a thing because you can use it to create some new gameplay or if it gives you resources that you use to create new gameplay but most of the time it's used to pad out game time with grinding or with useless incremental stats and it's not fleshed out well enough to make you feel excited when you find a thing see: far cry 3, 'survival games'

mystery fluid posted:Spec Ops: The Line was a pretty fun shooter. The story was pretty good but not as amazing as the internet thinks it is. It was really well made with kick-rear end music and art style and map design and tried something other than SHOOT BROWNS TO SAVE AMERICA and didn't gently caress it up just turn off the game after the hell hallucination It's not fuckin art but it's really good in my onion

An unpopular opinion I just cannot brook. yeah wtf like gta has a lot of problems but the core issue with four wasn't that it was unfun to play but that the entire narrative experience if the story was completely dissonant from your experience playing it Niko was cool but like why am I playing Niko 'i do no like to keel people' Bellic in a game where smashing cars full speed into ambulances is so fun

Quake 3 is poo poo because it's literally just quake 1 with a worse art style and slight balance alterations to make it have a higher skill cap which seems nice except it's quake, you are guaranteed to be at the bottom of that range even of you think you're good

like it's nearly exactly the same except they made the default weapon easily the dinkiest and most useless weapon in any game and added the uktra MLG one shot railgun that is entirely balanced around your reaction time and hand eye coordination, by which I mean latency they required you to have full map timer awareness to not get dunked on and it kind of blows

borderlands 2 has quite possibly the worst writing of any video game mostly because it's so far up it's own rear end it's at the top of his body but its a pretty good game, game wise playing it a second time years later the general tone of the story is just ughhh but hey it makes for lots of side quests so it clearly worked out

Anime Store Adventure posted:"Metroidvania" is the worst and any and all side scrollers are horrible. If NES developers had the technology to make an enjoyable 3D environment, they'd have made that and skipped the horrible (but necessary) era of side scrollers that plagues us to this day. 2D is okay in a lot of situations (Strategy/RTS, Rimworld and other city builders, management games, etc) but side scrollers are to video games as vinyl is to listening to music. spec ops was a really pretty game with incredible sound design and really well done level design. the story was hilariously bad in how it tried to tie it all together but if you just stop playing the game after the hell hallucination i'd consider it to be worth playing also i tried to get into the bf3 singleplayer and just gave up when you just had to park your rear end at every objective and just shoot endless waves of enemies coming from clearly defined spawn points. the vehicle levels were really good though

Jeza posted:Everything Bethesda touch, and to an extent Bioware, have become the worst excesses of lowest common denominator gaming. Objectionless broad mass appeal with no genuine artistic direction or substance. They're games where the experiment is just "how far can I bloat a regular RPG experience" and then just widening and widening until the games are just 100 hour monsters with about 5 hours of main story and 95 hours of unfulfilling, uninteresting fluff. a lot of oblivion's flaws are still in skyrim but they made the overall experience much better. like yeah oblivion had a couple of really good sidequests far better than anything in skyrim but you're forgetting that the entirety of oblivion looks loving identical, there's basically nothing outside of major cities, all of the dungeons were completely copy-pasted with nothing inside of them, and you have to spend hours in hell to complete the story which is hands down the worst dungeon crawl experience in video game history. like they leveled out the peaks but raised the dips and the end result is.. well its pretty mediocre but i'd argue its a better game nigga crab pollock fucked around with this message at 01:57 on May 30, 2017 |

devil daggers is really really good and while its not for everyone if you like skill based movement and competetive leaderboards its fuckin perfect. its immaculate. i cannot think of a thing i would change the real issue is that it's not cool for games to have tight design goals anymore. like yeah you can just happen upon good gameplay by slapping a bunch of poo poo together like minecraft or like ubisoft titles but you wont get the same result if you sit down with a clear goal beyond 'im maeking a game'

my experience with mass effect was me going into the whole experience doe eyed after reading all of the incredible press the game recieved and all of the hype from everyone i knew about how there was so much content in the game. but the second i tried to do side quests and stuff but the small handful were really lame and didn't seem to confer much benefit like equipment or guns and its not like the writing was compelling so i just kind of floated through the game till the end. i was going to type that i didn't play the ending but i googled it and i guess i did, i just didn't remember any of it. no romance options ever came up and i have no clue how it even happens. it felt like it was completely half baked and the absolute bare minimum amount of game necessary to be a 'open world rpg with branching paths' i see people with N7 tattos and it blows my loving mind the best part of the game were the lander where you roamed around in a hilarious moon buggy but its a shame each of those zones had like, one or two areas to do things in tops

Jeza posted:cod: mw was a more seminal game in terms of design than hl2 half life 2 was the first time I saw that a video game had succeeded in imitating reality. that sounds like some insane puffery but really if you think about it, before hl2 the closest a game had come to attempting to use directed level design, physics and npc behavior as the foundation of a realistic setting was Jurassic Park Trespasser and it sucked but its design concepts are mostly unused in other games. most modern AAA titles have nothing in common with hl2, their goals are almost completely opposite but modern warfare? yeah. thats what AAA games look up to

Naerasa posted:They're the exact same game, the only differences are that everyone in TF2 had a shotgun and everyone in Overwatch is gay. hahaha when i first played overwatch i hated it and i called my friends retards for telling me it was a good game but it grew on me significantly and i have like 80 hours in the game, purely because genji. the movement abilities and skillset of genji in overwatch is the best innovation in the first person shooter made since quake 3. you might just say 'uh dude he's literally the scout, literally just the scout except without a shotgun' but he doesn't just double jump he can climb up walls about thirty feet into the air and vault over obstacles and ledges and both of those things are just passive abilities with no cooldown. paired with his cooldown dash you basically never have to touch the ground. it's the most satisfying and entertaining movement set i've ever played in any game and it gives you such a ridiculous degree of freedom and verticality it's really really fun i guess the hard counters are kind of lame but its not like there arent other fun characters. im a big fan of THE vulcan cannon robot that people are still dumb enough to try and play chicken against
