Kelp Me! posted:Counterpoint: a lot of the "games as art" games are trash Yeah as long as I work my rear end off 8 hours a day videogame can stay pop culture trash all the day long and James gournolists can suck my dick. No one wishes Baseball or Football to become anything different yet adults are spending time and money for watching them without being ashamed by the media because "stuff could be different". If you put an art game on the market and it fails commercially then it's not my fault and gently caress off and starve. If it succeeds then good thing for you but then again don't break my balls.

Modern MMOs are played entirely by people who have to much time on their hands and have deluded themselves into thinking mindless grinding is fun.

I want games with good endings - heroes save the day, get the guy/girl and ride off into the sunset. Don't care how original or thematic having everyone die is, if I beat a game I want to feel good about it. Screw trying to be grimdark and edgy.

I consider that different. I don't begrudge people liking Minecraft or Terraria, either, they just aren't my thing.

Don't care how original or thematic having everyone die is, if I beat a game I want to feel good about it. Screw trying to be grimdark and edgy. I can definitely get this, especially for games you spend hundreds of hours on. I want to at least make it so my characters made the world less bad.

Miyamoto was right, story in videogames were a mistake and I hate the trend of taking more and more control away from the player. I like it when a game is hellbent on screwing with player expectation (Nier Automata, Undertale, etc)

demon souls was the best souls game. people kept hyping up dark souls, but to me it felt like a downgrade. The enemies were less interesting, it was lot easier. The level design was lazier as well.

Putting an Alien skin over a generic "hide and craft things" game did not somehow make Alien: Isolation good or even interesting. Almost all "indie" games are complete garbage and if your pitch is something about "recapturing the feel of classic 90's X with a new twist" you should never make a video game again. I think the new Resident Evil game looks dumb and bad.

Dark Souls 1 is a good game but it has serious game design issues across the board and "you just need to get good at the game" is not a valid response

Witcher III is extremely boring. The whole series is extremely boring and I've not been able to get more than 5-10 hours through all of them, but 3 sticks out in my mind the most because it's the highest rated and there's hundreds of "Witcher III ruined other games for me" anecdotes out there.

The beginning of Undertale is really bad when it comes to gameplay. The level design never becomes amazing but it does stop throwing so many pointless time wasters at you. Mostly.

It probably depends on the genre too. Mario or whatever - yea doesn't need a story, and I assume the quote was in that context. RPGs which are often about choices, without a story to give them context those choices couldn't matter.

Conversely to that guy who likes wholesome good endings, I don't like heartwarming endings. I'm thinking of games where a group of diverse people, usually including a "thief with a heart of gold", become strong enough to literally kill God and, to a man, abdicate their power and wealth entirely to become the master of their dojo or teacher at a school instead or whatever. At least D3 recognizes that, ya know, some dude punched the devil to death and then killed death itself. Hopefully he won't do that thing that every other person ever does when they are in a position of unrivalled superiority.

I really like heroes of might and magic vi, I think it might be my favorite game in the series and it's a shame that it got such a lukewarm reception and ubisoft won't let users mod/fix their old games. also it's a crime that clash of heroes won't get a sequel but i dont think that's an unpopular opinion.
