windwaker is the best zelda by a big margin. beautiful artstyle that still looks great when you play the hd version / render it in hd on an emulator

unreal tournament 2003 was the best in the series.

touhou shmups are trash compared to cave shmups

dodonpachi is better than battle garegga and YGW's rank systems are the cancer of shmups

e: also, something that shouldnt be controversial: g-darius is the best darius game

I don't think that DmC is bad, and even the now dead DmC thread agreed that it was a fine action game, it just didn't need to be a DmC game. it's just that the story/lore reboot was billed as an improvement to Dante's goofy bullshit (the reason he is so beloved) but it was this weirdly political slant that contains a LITERAL sniper rifle abortion as well as a Fox News boss fight, and even more damning, we were given a combat system that was more on par with God of War than with Devil May Cry. Going from DMC4 to DmC was absolutely disappointing for who wanted a very high skill ceiling. I just replayed both of those games and they honestly both hold up fine, but I will always skip every cutscenes in DMC forever.

the fox news boss owns really hard though

as does the club level

This reminds me, Binding of Isaac is the next overrated thing to Undertale.

People prefer it to things like Enter the Gungeon because it's babies first bullet hell. All the items make you an overpowered god and the game looks like a newgrounds flash game.

Oh boo hoooooo I only successfully complete 3/4ths of my runs and the only content in the game is beating it multiple times because it's so easy.

It's kinda mediocre, to be quite honest. If you want good combat, play a good, old-school brawler like fight'n rage.

Though people liking morrowind (swing the sword, hit someone with it, and have the game tell you you missed because your skill) is hilarious as gently caress.

But then, RPG players love lovely mechanics.

cd projekt needs to outsource the combat mechanics for the next witcher game to platinum

something like right in the middle between witchers kinda slow, rather boring combat and metal gear rising's over the top ridiculousness

So is K+M an inferior way to play games now that we have touch screens and VR headsets that provide even better accuracy? Since control is defined by how fast we can click on things apparently? Why use a mouse when you can just tap on something or look at it?

objectively, yes

thing is, VR is still too expensive and too much of a hassle to set up for the average user (especially room scale applications)

4K is still not really the standard in that it costs an outrageous amount of money to play games well at that resolution, and it's not an incredible difference in the way throwing out your CRT and getting a flatscreen was.

xbox dpads have always been mushy pieces of crap. the rest of the controller is near perfect though, i'll give you that.

loved that one. it looked pretty bad graphics wise even compared to other titles of its era and the camera / tank controls were unusual for a brawler game but once you got into it it owned really hard. ridiculous story, over the top characters and great music - everything i want in a game in that genre.

platinum should make a sequel / spiritual successor.

I know why they had to do it (I would have beaten that poo poo in 5 hours otherwise) but the rubberband cheating in need for speed underground was so loving jarring, going from a 20 second lead to 2nd instantly was always bullshit

making good racing game AI that behaves humanlike while still being challenging is seemingly impossible.
even more so in sims, where obvious rubberbanding is a big no no.

the most shocking thing i learned while reading about final fantasy 7's development was that the marketing budget provided by Sony was somewhere around $100mn (in 1997 dollars), and it was substantially larger than its entire development budget. money talks

not that surprising, since it was one of the main games that made people want to buy a playstation. bonus points for being a big gently caress you to nintendo.
