I can still listen to a podcast whilst playing on a handheld device.How often are you in a setting where 30min+ gaming sessions are practical while out of reach of a PC or console which by almost every metric imaginable is a superior experience? And is that time really often enough that you'd rather pay for a dedicated handheld, purchase games separately for it, carry it around, ect, instead of reading a book, listening to a podcast, browsing, or playing some stupid game on your phone which you'd have with you anyway?
The issue, to me, is that when a fighting game goes truly 3d, it stops being a "fighting game" in the traditional sense. See: the DBZ Tenkaichi Budokai series, or Magical Battle Arena, who end up playing almost like a more complex TPS.Fighting games are lame. They’re fundamentally still the same as they were thirty years ago. The genre has seen no real evolution since the days of Street Fighter 2 and Tekken 1. I would even argue that the genre never truly made the jump to 3d; they’re still limited to the same strict side-perspective they had during the 2d era (except for some ‘cinematic’ takedowns).
Bushido Blade on PS1, with its optional 1st person perspective and the ability to freely move around the arena, was the first and only time that a fighting game seriously tried to embrace all 3 dimensions (at least as far as I’m aware). Unfortunately, the game (and its sequel) seems to have been a fluke, and the genre hasn’t moved forward at all.
#4 I thoroughly enjoyed Duke Nukem Forever. It was every bit of a ridiculous fast food politically incorrect garbage that people liked in the first game. And even when it released 10 years ago it already felt like a breadth of fresh air.
Yup, the Nintendo point is spot on.I have a few, though I'm not sure all of them are controversial:
1. I don't care about online gaming much. I play once in a while, but I honestly for the life of me can't understand the people playing round after round for hours of COD. That also goes for all GaaS or strictly online multiplayer titles like pubg.
2. Nintendo would be better as a third party, as their hardware is basically a scam in terms of performance.
3. I don't see the point of Rogue-likes, it just seems like a cost efficient way to trick the user into thinking they got more content than they actually did, it's all randomly generated generic level layouts in the end with some silly gimmick.
4. Never liked FPS all that much, and I never will. Movement is limited and sluggish compared to a third person game, it's impossible to relate to a character you never see and they all play the same, the only variables that change are walking speed, if you can jump on walls and whether there's some traversal gimmick. I honestly don't get their staying power.
5. Games can only be improved with a strong plot, great characters and memorable events. People that just want to play with no context for their games and look at games stories with disdain are ignorant snobs.
The Witcher 3 is an RPG in the same way Mario Kart is a racing simulator.
From my point of view the issue lies more in the fact that the gameplay ha gone full RPG. I don't have any complaints about the supernatural things, I would love the new AC games without all the RPG mechanics. Something that mixes those vast worlds with exploration and something like a sekiro lite gameplay would really hype me.I don't like people keep saying AC is not AC anymore due to mythological ISU stuff
For me, AC was always about the clash of two ideaologies, ISU slavery and humanity's freedom. Just because it takes different forms and stuff doesn't make them bad AC games
And ISU was there even in the first game. The very first Apple of Eden we saw is their creation. And then second game explored the plot further. Literally, Minerva Juno and Jupiter appear before Ezio... And people still keep bashing on new AC games being too unrealistic. They have more freedom to do stuff because the ISU is not yet discovered by hidden ones/asssasins/templars. Once templars tart to discover ISU and stuff, they conceal it. The very reason why magic and stuff is dwindled in current ages because Templars supressed. They even silenced a scientist who found out that humans were not evolutionized from monkeys (in game's lore, ISU transformed humans into what they are). These kind of clues always hinted that templars suppresed ISU presence in world. Hence Odyssey and Origins have lots of magic and monsters, because it can. There's no one to supress it. And even if common people see them, later generations won't. There are no cameras, there are no recording devices. These monsters, creatures and events became "legends". Once technology is shifted onwards, organizations like Templars supressed such as evidences. And most creatures/monsters were defeated by heroes such as Kassandra anyways.
So if you're a real AC-Isu lore fan, these games always deliver. It seems as if people didn't care about The Truth video in AC 2. Adam and Eve are assasins too, by their ideology of running away from their slave masters, but you can bet that they won't use hidden blades or use shadows on their operations. But if a game were made about these two, it would still named Assassin's Creed and people would get mad even further.
I don't know if this is controversial or not, but I hate people bashing on new AC games not being actual AC games. Okay, I guess, they just want a hooded dude with a hidden blade, they got it, and they're still not satisfied. What can I say?
Dead Space: Extraction is better than both of them.Dead space has to be one of the most overrated video games in the past 3 generations
It's tragic alien isolation isn't the game seen as the ''masterpiece''.
FFVII is overrated and FFIX is a better game in almost every aspect.
ALso, FFXV is a good game.
It's certainly not as great as the first three. Especially because it lacks the original composer, writer and director.Uncharted 4 is a boring game along with its cast of characters.
As a Siege player on console, this hurts me.Using a mouse+keyboard adapter on console isn't cheating.
Glad I am not the only one. After Amy left ND went to shit!!! Crap writers and Cuckman having too much say. It sucks as I loooved, Uncharted 1-3. Each one was amazing!Uncharted 4 is a boring game along with its cast of characters.
I hated playing as young Drake and Amy forced me too many times. Too many times. Too early in the game. BHAM! Now your an inept child. Enjoy.Glad I am not the only one. After Amy left ND went to shit!!! Crap writers and Cuckman having too much say. It sucks as I loooved, Uncharted 1-3. Each one was amazing!
- Cyberpunk 2077 is probably the best game of the last generation, and it is easily the best written.
I completely agree with you except for the last of us. That game is so fucking boring, I can't understand how people like it. TLOU II on the other hand is amazing.the only naughty dog game i ever liked enough to finish was tlou 1. uncharted 4 is the only game i think i have actually fallen asleep playing. i guess their games are just not for me but i can understand why other people like their output.
Lol, I started persona this weekend and it's fucking amazing. Finally a good game that reminds me of the golden era of videogames.What I found here is people shitting on mostly the best games in the industry. Tried to find a shit game among all mentioned but couldn't.
So gonna join:
Persona is shite.
Graphics have been good enough since PS3/360.
Breath of the Wild is a terrible open world game and a worse Zelda game.
