This is well known I think.
I'm sorry but The Last Guardian is fucking boring.
Loved Uncharted 4, but i absolutely agree.Playing Uncharted 4 now and damn the gameplay is still boring. i like the character's performance but that's about it.
Every shooting section: "oh no... not again"
I agree with this as well. People will always complain about how your choices "mean nothing" in Telltale's games, even though they do. Just because the key plot points are consistent throughout playthroughs doesn't mean the choices don't matter.Well just had a thought.
I actually like Telltale games for the most part.
I just think people don't understand that they're never going to bend the pure plot points to their whims. A lot of the stories is how the characters respond to your choices and though I understand that's probably not appealing, it is what it is. Those are the consequences to your actions, not ones where the plot suddenly careens off the tracks and keeps going the way you wanted instead of getting game over/restart last checkpoint.
In a way I think it is a little reductive to say they're only interactive cutscenes because real choice and consequence does still come out of it. It's not say as strong as something as the level of The Witcher series where significant character and plot developments happen (and to be fair I hate it when people trot out the second act split in TW2 as the rule when it's more the exception to it) but I find similarly other games that offer choice and consequence also have equally pathetic outcomes that don't affect really anything either and the intended crafted story and major plot points carry on.
The only first party Sony game worth a damn is The Last of Us (which is a top 25 of all time game).
Uncharted is mediocre outside of 4 being decent due to finally have okay gameplay. Multiplayer in this series is probably the worst I've ever played.
Crash is dead and no longer owned by Sony.
Jak had one good game, one okay game, and a bad game.
Ratchet and Clank is the definition of boring.
Driveclub was ass.
The Order is The Order.
Killzone was nothing but pretty graphics and generic everything else.
Knack is a joke.
Days Gone looks like shit and I fycking love zombie games.
Infamous is actually okay besides the first one.
I'm sure there's more but needless to say that it's most likely some bad game being propped up due to exclusivity. I haven't played Bloodborne (technically not 1st party, right?) but I'd most likely enjoy it. The Last Guardian either but it seems to unanimously have shit controls so I'll pass. Hopefully Horizon is good even if it doesn't look like my cup of tea. Thank god for third party since Nintendo is useless for that besides handheld games, which I'd rather not play on the garbage 3DS.
In order to avoid fanboys; Pikmin sucks besides the first one, Starfox is trash, Fire Emblem is overrated, and 2D Mario hasn't been great since World. NSMBU was decent. Never put much time into Xbox so no real opinion on that.
I thought this was common knowledge.
Black Ops 1 is still the best overall COD game in terms of entertainment content/value.
Solid Campaign
Great Multiplayer.
The Best Zombie mode, before it got too complicated and bloated.
Platform exclusives are a general benefit to the industry, even third party exclusives.
I mean, is it a bad thing that Spotify might get exclusive rights to stream a particular album or that iTunes might get exclusive right to sell a certain piece of music? Is it a bad thing that Netflix creates its own shows or Amazon Prime has exclusive streaming rights to some sitcom?I don't know if I'd phrase it that way, but I definitely think there are quite a few games that wouldn't even really exist without the concept of exclusives in the first place and that fact alone means that they're an overall positive to the industry.
The Fade in Dragon Age isn't as bad it people make it out to be.
Dragon Age 2 isn't that bad either.
I agree. It wasn't my first game, but it was my first Mario Kart, and it's been outdone by pretty much every following game. Heck, I find SMK more replayable and challenging. It's unpolished, drifting feels off, Rainbow Road is easily the worst in the series, and it's not even the best kart racer on N64. It does have superb music, though.Mario Kart 64 was the first game I ever played, but it's laughably outdated by now, with it's terrible physics, poor car controls, way too long immobile time if you get hit by anything, and tracks which are way too big for the tiny cars you drive.
Anyone who say this is better than any of the games released after (aside from Super Circuit perhaps) have some nostalgia goggles glued really hard on them.
But they're so artsy, it doesn't matter if they have mediocre to bad controls and gameplay!Not to mention the shitty controls. In my opinion Ueda has created the three most overrated games, that people seem to ignore how technically archaic they are.
Not sorry, it is. The gameplay is either aggravating or incredibly dull, at least the first half. I'm sorry I'm still putting it at number 3 of my GOTY list even though half of it was pretty dull, because come the end the auteurial vision is still awe inspiring.I'm sorry but The Last Guardian is fucking boring.
The Fade was one of my favorite areas of Dragon Age Origins. It was the only area and plotline that wasn't completely derivative.The Fade in Dragon Age isn't as bad it people make it out to be.
Dragon Age 2 isn't that bad either.
Nickelback has some really good songs.
I like DA2 more than DA:O. I thought the story in DA:O was a typical rehash of the same old boring save-the-world tripe, while DA2 dealt with the political and cultural ramifications of a city coming to grips with both it's horrific past and uncertain future. Also, it was nice to play an RPG where the political machinations of various factions play an upfront and center role in the story, and it was neat to see characters and relationships grow and change over the course of a decade.
According to the internet, I should die in a fire.

I love Street Fighter and it's a super strong candidate for my favourite gaming series ever - I actually got into gaming because of SF2. But I don't like the SF3 games. The gameplay is good and it's true that it's all that matters, but gameplay is good in pretty much all SF games (hence why I love the series) anyway and I just don't like the SF3 roster at all. It just show how important it is for me to like the roster in a fighting game, I simply don't care about the characters in SF3 with the exception of Makoto, maybe, yet she's clearly not enough to make me interested in Third Strike. Also the soundtrack, I don't enjoy it while the Alpha and even the EX games were getting what I consider to be superb soundtracks. Also SF3 turned Chun Li into the grotesque caricature with stupid legs that she's now. I do think the sprites and backgrounds are great, though.
My favourite SF games that I'd also consider to be objectively great fighting games are Alpha 2, Ultra IV, V and ST.
Yeah, though I think Naughty Dog is coming onto itself, and most games being at least competent, it's clear the first party Sony games are just there as graphical showcases in a variety of genres then that they're pushing any quality in games itself. They're the anti-Nintendo in that sense and I hate that they became more popular as a result. Sony does still have a lot of fantastic exclusives (and has that over MS), but they're from external studios. Thatgamecompany, From, Supermassive (definitely get Until Dawn if you didn't already), etc.The only first party Sony game worth a damn is The Last of Us (which is a top 25 of all time game).

The Third Strike cast--and the cast in the whole series, really--is take it or leave it, sure, but...you don't like the soundtrack either?
Telltales the walking dead is seriously boring. Dont deserve the praise.
I don't think it's bad! But I feel it's not Street Fighter-y at all, lol. Now, I do have weird taste when it comes to these things, my favourite soundtracks in the series are Alpha 2 and especially EX Plus Alpha.The Third Strike cast--and the cast in the whole series, really--is take it or leave it, sure, but...you don't like the soundtrack either?
The only potentially controversial opinion I have is that I think the original Donkey Kong Country is a genuinely terrible game. This led me to not try any other game in the classic trilogy. I love the newer Retro games, however.
It's been a while but the main issue I had with the game, ironically for a 2D game, was the camera. It's way too zoomed in on Donkey Kong and results in all of the mine cart stages being way too trial-and-error. Also, it doesn't stick to your character very consistently. So, for example, when you go down a slope, the camera doesn't adjust right away and leads to your character being on the bottom of the screen while you're moving down! Not to mention all of the times you have to make blind jumps. I stopped playing at the ice area where all these camera issues became huge in addition to slippery controls. And don't get me started on that boring-ass copy-and-paste level design
It's funny, because I'm not generally this negative about games, but Donkey Kong Country brings out the worst in me.
JRPGs* are not actually RPGs.
*Most of them.
