What is your most contrarian vidya opinion?

yyaw.jpg - 1920x1004, 297.81K

I like video games.

Skip all dialogues

I wouldn't call it contrarian but maybe controversial or debatable.
JRPGs have the most diverse gameplay of any genre.

rts's were always bad

Steins;Gate is highly overrated and not actually a good VN at all.

Is it really contrarian if everyone is just misinformed?

FromSoft has always been slop and the only people who disagree are zoomers addicted to video essays

sex

Serious Sam 2 is the best in the series

Spirits Within is better than Advent Children

"Goes to the Moon" is the best Putt Putt game

Starfield is the best RPG Bethesda has made in years. Better than Skyrim and better than Oblivion.

Disagree, although I do think Dark Souls was a somewhat janky attempt at making King's Field in 3rd person that got popular due to Anon Babble memeing it as being the hardest game ever, combined with people baiting streamers who suck ass at videogames into playing it so they rage, and From has been pandering to that concept ever since.

What is your most contrarian vidya opinion?

Its gay as fuck to assume something is bad because people that you don't like enjoy it.

games shouldn't have leveling up systems

That is pretty contrarian.
The gameplay is good. It's simple and effective. Later entries not "evolving enough" won't make older entries bad because you're not exposed to more exciting stimulus. They're RPGs first and foremost as well. When Demon's Souls came out, nobody toted it as the greatest action style combat. It was celebrated for its RPG mechanics, level design, and the fact it actually punished a player for fucking up, putting weight on the simple format.
Obviously like any successful company, it got flanderized over time and now elden ring's boss design is a joke compared to its former self.

R1 is the jump button for platformers. Ape Escape had the right idea but the same applies to 2D games. I'm not using my thumb for both jumping and attacking when I need to do both in tandem.

SS2

I like it but I can see how the cartoonyness of it would be unappealing to people who enjoyed the feeling of the first few games.

There are always new games worth playing.

All the (A)D&D based video games are utter shit.

I don't think jank exists and I genuinely don't think bad game design exists at all, and I say this as someone who has been playing every genre except sports for my 34 years of life. Things are just different. The only thing I cannot abide by is pic related crap in games. If BG3 had zero faggotry in it but played 10x worse, it would be a better game, and I'm not joking.

I'll do you one better
Spirits Within is actually a good movie

Progression in video games is overrated. It's mostly a crutch to cover up bad game design. They always feel the need to give you a sense of progression as a dopamine drip, more items, more abilities, better equipment, higher levels. I wish there were more games where you started out with all your abilities, and they designed the levels around that. Its impressive when the developers can make levels more interesting and challenging not by giving you new abilities but just by designing different levels.

The musou/warriors games are some of the greatest games ever made and the shift towards pleasing outsiders with bullshit no fans asked for will eventually undo them.

This isn't contrarian this is just retarded.

E-celebs are the natural evolution of entertainment and are a net positive to gaming. I guarantee majority of this board enjoys e-celeb discussion and this board would be filled with it if jannies would allow it. Which they should considering they fall under the board rule "video game culture"

bullshit no fans asked for

Age of Calamity is by and far the highest selling musou of all time

Internal thumb crease on jump (X/A), thumb tip on attack (sq/X)

Although I agree O/B and tri/Y should be mapped to bumpers

I guarantee majority of this board enjoys e-celeb discussion and this board would be filled with it if jannies would allow it.

Thats because the majority of this board is under 20
E-celebs are zoomer shit because they never had anything else.

I hate these threads because they remind me of the kind of people I share a board with and it's not just sarcasm or irony.

the shift towards pleasing outsiders with bullshit no fans asked for will eventually undo them.

This cancer affects way too many series

I genuinely don't think bad game design exists at all

if I took Doom and made a mod that forces the player to wait 30 minutes after every shot fired, would that not be bad game design?

I can't stand Final Fantasy and I agree with this. Advent Children is the most autistic shit I have ever seen.

I believe everything here but I'll sum up my most contentious on Anon Babble

fear 2>1

dmc3 is the only worthwhile game in the series

Detroit become human is good

botw was great first time through but I have no desire to replay it ever again. It's at least better than Skyward Sword

mgs has bad controls, stealth, and writing

gta sucks and Rockstar doesn't deserve one tenth of their popularity

Mario 64 is great in every way except camera and controls, which blow

all fighting games suck

the horizon games are good

halo infinite was pretty good

portal 2 was a massive step down from 1 and another big sign of valve's impending fall from grace

counter Strike and Dota are anti-fun and helped ruin valve

I don't really watch e-celebs, they are mostly shit at the games.
I like watching players who are much better than me so I can learn new shit.

what makes them great in your opinion?

Nope. That's pretty similar to how some incremental games like Kitten's Game work.

I wasn't referencing that. Hyrule Warriors is a high point of the franchise.

What I mean is retarded bullshit like Open-World and JRPG mechanics

Dark Souls 2 was the best of the series. I hated it at first but after spending hundreds of hours I find it to be the most unique and interesting.

if I forced you to read War and Peace after every shot, would that not be bad game design?

masterpiece

The Last of Us

multiple Halo games

the worst of the 3 original God of War games

amazing

more Halo

RE2 Remake

a fucking baseball game

This is masterful bait.

Sonic Mania and Biohzard 2 DEmake that high

Dead Rising 1 in Garbage tier

Holy fuck you have quite possibly the worst taste in all of vidya.

Tides of Numenera is a good game

Depends on what the design goal is. If there's no point to it, it doesn't matter if you changed one thing or changed everything: the pointlessness would shine through, it would be the point.

If I had to wait 5000 years after every shot, it still would not be bad game design, just different.

I don't find RE6 a bad game and outbreak series is super underated...

Devil May Cry 2 is unironically a good game, despite some minor flaws.

DMC2_Japan.png - 630x900, 1.23M

no game has ever done combat in plate armor accurately

most people cannot separate historical importance and quality when it comes to the best games of all time

open-world games are antithetical to the spirit of adventure, and it's practically impossible to have a good plot in an open-world game due to the player's freedom being a direct contradiction to any urgency of the plot

99.9% of games are bad, including the ones that are commonly considered great or 'hidden gems'

Elden Ring is a contrived disaster of a game. Demon's and Dark Souls were lauded for purposefully making design decisions that were counter to industry standards, and ER is praised for following them religiously

RPGs should be more like immersive sims, focused on player skill/knowledge and less on character stats & abstractions, moving away from tabletop roots which translate poorly to games. for example, lockpicking as a mini-game reliant on player skill and not a number check

Outer Wilds is the most overrated game on Anon Babble right now

replayability in games via non-linearity is a bit of a joke, since people usually end up picking roughly the same route on their replays anyway

Diablo and its clones are fantasy-themed casual cookie clickers

Doom doesn't hold up well, only E1 is any good. you can't even aim vertically in the original without a mod

BioWare have never made a good game including Baldur's Gate 1-2 which both have juvenile writing

Dark Messiah is overrated, the combat is weightless and goofy, bland visuals, balloon swordfighting sim

Arcanum is a terrible game and people only like it for everything that's not gameplay

NieR: Automata is a game for 16 year old atheist coomer pseuds, if it wasn't for the coomerbait it would rightfully be regarded as mediocre

Final Fantasy is a series designed for women and trannies, or future trannies

combat and violence being the primary method of all interaction is stopping the medium from reaching its true potential

>no game has ever done combat in plate armor accurately

that's because accuracy is fuckin boring
at some point it'll stop being a game and start being a simulator.

Doom doesn't hold up well, only E1 is any good. you can't even aim vertically in the original without a mod

Go to bed zoomer.

It is the best in the series I agree. The cartoony style works so much better for the goofy nature of the series compared to whatever 3/4 were supposed to be.

old MMOs were better when they took longer to level in and paced out your adventure through the territories so that you got the fullest out of most areas in the game. it made the game worlds feel a lot bigger when you weren't expected to see 90% of it in a week or a month since many areas were simply too dangerous for you to go.

Shit opinion

Nuts and Bolts was great, even if it wasn't more of the first 2, which I also love.

If it makes you feel better most of the people ITT don't actually believe what they're posting, they're just baiting for (You)s

Video games shouldn't still need to fret over if it's art or not. It is, it just doesn't have to be "Artsy".

I genuinely think Nintendo did nothing wrong with the Switch 2.

This is correct. Adding RPG shit to every game is the biggest unacknowledged cancer in gaming right now.

Same, I think their customers deserve to get fucked.

Kill millions

Huge roster of fun characters

Big open levels where winning has enough nuance to encourage replaying scenarios

Rhythmic satisfying combat that is baby easy to learn but deep enough to require skill and technique on higher difficulties or special challenges

Mainline games are based on a genuinely great novel but do it so crazy that you still get a new story if you haven't read the books.

Honestly if we weren't dealing with a idiot president and tariffs, or had recently come out of a pandemic that shook up the economy; then the prices wouldn't be as stupid.

That said, I'm sure it'll sell well to families and their kids because bing bing mario (and that's perfectly fine).

It was my first DMC game and it still blows my mind that there are people who think it's unplayable.

I don't even think they get fucked. Inflation is a thing and Nintendo does not do micro transactions and gambling.

Super Mario Bros 3 is boring

This. Now that they are normalizing selling CD keys in a box, I hope they die penniless and miserable.

Kirby is shit and I hate his games. They're either derivatives of themselves or other titles. I don't necessarily hate that there Koiby, I just hate his franchise. Because it's shit.

N.png - 368x280, 4.72K

It really is the same game over and over again. But it appeals because it's simple and cute.

Internal thumb crease on jump (X/A), thumb tip on attack (sq/X)

That works when a game uses almost every button. But lots of 2D games only use a few buttons and it feels like a waste not to bind the bumpers.
Mega Man X for example, I always bind dash and jump to bumpers so I can always be charging with one of the face buttons.

I have a few when it comes to insane Anon Babble opinions
-All the Mega Man NES games suck
-Story is utterly irrelevant in the medium, and plot is the most unimportant component of writing
-Nintendo have been shite since the mid 1990s
-Suikoden 1 and 2 were awful
-I mute voice acting entirely and just turn subtitles on, it's faster to just read the text
-Preservationists are mostly con artists using their position to get freebies from publishers who would otherwise just throw their old stuff in a landfill, and the end users are all just pirates who don't give 2 shits about preserving the medium
-Final Fantasy, as a series, fell apart as soon as you leave midgar in FF7
100%
Excellent post.
Yeah i kinda see what you mean. For me i can't stand Skill Trees because they get in the way of good level design.
You can't design clever levels with the intent that the player has to use a specific skill or item in order to proceed, because what if the player didn't happen to choose that skill/item in the skill tree?

People take the blame on it the wrong way. It's an unfinished, not an incompetent game.

Kirby's Dream Course is a 1 of a kind good time

hi mork

mork.png - 305x375, 73.27K

Fable 3 is a great game

DmC is better than DMC4

MGS4 is better than MGS3

if the entirety of MGS2 maintained the level of quality of the Tanker chapter, then it would have been the greatest game ever made and nobody would even debate it

Diablo is better than Path of Exile because there’s beauty in simplicity

Assetto Corsa has terrible physics and is not any more “sim” than GT, having to press a button to start your car doesn’t add to the immersion

Hades has great art style at a glance, but the flatness of the designs makes playing it a mess

top-down is a better camera view than isometric

the Sixaxis is the worst “main” controller ever made, and the DualShock 3 being marginally heavier didn’t help because it still has the awful triggers

Microsoft is unfairly hated because they’re led by white people from America and not Japs from Japland

New Vegas was never better than FO3, it was more like an expansion pack than a new game

Bioshock 1 is the only entry worth playing and should have been a standalone game

Corridor 7 is the worst game ever made

Nioh 1 mogs Nioh 2

DOA’s girls have been generic since Itagaki left

Mortal Kombat is a richer, better fighting series than Tekken and SF and those series will never have characters cooler than Sub-Zero or Scorpion, pun intended

Uncharted 4 was a masterpiece and should have gotten the adoration that TLoU did

Paragon was Epic’s last good game

Baldur’s Gate 3 has terrible combat

JP voice “““actors””” will never be as good as Ben Starr, Michael Bell, or Cam Clarke

IMG_0049.jpg - 700x482, 43.37K

combos are fun and long combos make games better

This is not true actually. You can resell the gamekeys.

top-down is a better camera view than isometric

both are used for entirely different purposes. top-down is more arcade-like and action focused, isometric is for games that place a greater emphasis on worldbuilding

Sotn is a game with an outstanding soundtrack and presentation but it’s shit to play.

Now we are talking, nice mix things I agree with and things I think are retarded.
I expect many (You)s.

top-down is a better camera view than isometric

Extremely based

Based MAGAt

I think they do fuck over their customers all the time.
Just not as much as other companies.

Found the tranny freak.

Baldur’s Gate 3 has terrible combat

If you think 5th edition is terrible, I understand. I like Larian’s house rules better than vanilla’s.

RPG Maker has had the same effect on gaming as the Unreal Engine has.

Persona 4 Golden is better than Persona 4.

Nioh 1 mogs Nioh 2

In some ways I agree

Bioshock 1 is the only entry worth playing and should have been a standalone

Weird feelings on this because 2 isn't particularly bad, but is a whimpering piss compared to the first game.

Here's mine.

The System Shock Remake was great; and is an acceptable way to enjoy the story of the first game without the clumsiness the original title provided

bingchilling.png - 1920x1080, 2.65M

YIIK filters most people

Bad games tend to do that.

>no game has ever done combat in plate armor accurately

War of the Roses

Graphics, especially 3d graphics, were a horrible mistake. Primarily text based games are superior.

TTYD is tedious and not as fun as PM64. I don't worship fedoras mask.

How is that contrarian at all? Everyone on Anon Babble, Anon Babble, and even Anon Babble call it baby's first VN

I love Nintendo and think the price of the switch 2 is fine as are the $80 games because without pricing things fairly, they can't pay fair living wages to their developers to keep up with inflation everywhere else and I think that people who think it's just greed are retards.

You fucking monster! MODS!!!!! jk

more games should have furry women

Twin Snakes is good and more in line with the thematic presentation of the series than the original.

The new battle system is significantly better and is pretty fun

weg games have better graphics and are better overall

"Goes to the Moon" is the best Putt Putt game

Based

ELEX is an amazing game.
It's not even that good. Shit like 5/10 but it's one of my favorite games of all time. I beat it 4 times back-to-back.

fear 2>1

I actually agree on this one.

dmc3 is the only worthwhile game in the series

Have the sam opinion but not that extreme

Mario 64 is great in every way except camera and controls, which blow

not a hot take

"Goes to the Moon" is the best Putt Putt game

OP said contrarian.

not actually a good VN at all

You are truly a retarded ape if you genuinely believe this and aren't just trolling.

japanese games are inferior to western games

You can't drop this gem without explaining it.

Worst take I've read all year, congrats. You forgot your love from pakistan/India signature

Itsuno did an excellent job at salvaging it. Otherwise it would've killed the series in its crib.

Fun fact. 4 was originally intended to be a prequel to 2, but it became a sequel when Crapcom realized it made far better sense for Dante to be moping around right after 1.

There has never been, and will never be, a good Sonic game. They all suck and will never not suck.

Yes, even that one sucks.

I still remember the shitstorm after the >sonic was never good

That makes sense, whereas that'd be impossible with Nine Sols

From Software was a lot cooler when they were simply known as a company that developed games from niche genres like 3D Dungeon Crawler and Mecha

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO JANNIES DELETE THIS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Agreed 100%. The whole genre revolves around raw APM.

Trvke

based

the > is in place of Anon's favorite Sonic game that they think is somehow the exception

4 niggas in a row genre

Nope.

You're somewhat right. It was a gem against the casualization of games handholding you while you just press x or y during QTEs or having a lack of danger/risk around the player. Buuut if you've already played battletoads tier of punishment era of games, it really isn't too difficult especially when you figure out what you can exploit. Rolls and backstabs with easily choreographed animations from enemies turns the game into something not as threatening.

The "git gud" motto was a fart to the face of bad players, which I will say was and always will be the majority of Anon Babble anyways.

JRPGs are all derivative trash. They lack grunge details only the west understands.

They lack grunge details only the west understands.

Example?

What is your most contrarian vidya opinion?

the fact that we're constantly in the golden age of vidya because older video game still exist while new kino ones are being made all the time but retards just focus on the AAA slop as some sort of metric on how "the industry" is going
bunch of faggots I tell you what

There is no Japanese Eddie Vedder.

Co op games are fantastic

Absolutely. It’s what makes RE5 the best in the series.

I opened this thread curious if anyone else liked Yiik. I thought it was the best story in any game I've ever played.

OHHHH I'M STILL ALIVE

All gacha games are bad. Furthermore, i'm convinced the majority of gachaslop enjoyers are foreigners.

thats pvp, play the campaigns, they're fun

2D Sonic sucks balls. They lure you in with a fun intro level and then dump shitty slow plodding platforming and inorgnic mazes of levels on you. It's only fun for someone who actually gets off on optimizing and replaying shit.

YIIK I.V is good shit
I was filtered by the shit gameplay of the other version though

You'll be hearing from my lawyers.

There has never been a good MMORPG.

thank goodness, pearl jam sucks

1) League of Legends is one of the best games of all time and it has a very deep gameplay system

2) Yakuza is a dogshit franchise in every single aspect

3) Story in videogames is not even the 2nd nor the 3rd most important thing, yet the constant focus on it is one reason games have gotten stale and boring, also most story games are shit

4) Level design is vastly under-appreciated in games and games with good level design don't get enough praise

5) Presentation is very important and way more important than story

Fuck Soul Calibur 2. Also Tekken has always been mashy garbage

medieval fantasy RPGs are the peak of the hobby

No one should ever purchase another game until loli h-games are included on every console

I like video games and I'm not racist

I think you are confusing Jank with bad game design. Jank in of itself is not bad because it's kind of a feeling that a game has that no other game can replicate. Fromsoft makes Jank games, but people love them because it's obvious it's their intent to not make games feel mass produced and easy and boring. But to create an authentic experience that feels like it's own thing controls wise and even through Game Direction.

fear 2 being better than 1

what makes you think this?

3DS and DS were the best era for video games.
The loss of the stylus is one of the biggest losses in gaming and it's completely ignored.
Rougelites and open world survival crafting games aren't inherently bad. They are usually just uninspired.
Difficulty sliders are just an excuse to not balance the game.
Just because gen 1 had humanoid and mimic pokemon, doesn't make them okay now. They were stupid then, as well.
Digimon's evolution lines are nonsense and it's biggest problem. I don't want my favorite to lose everything that made it my favorite.

i hate story in games, especially games where I can't just mash esc or whatever to skip dialogue/cutscenes. i loved grandia as a kid, played it for a couple hundred hours, and most of those hours were made up of unskippable animations in battle and dialogue i'd heard before, i just wanted to play the game again because I had nothing else

I did like when Games had it's own controls. I can understand the ones for Camera and moving Camera. But for other things, I can fully appreciate when Games just say "no we want the controls to be like this"

New games sucking ass is still bad; specifically BECAUSE companies burn the candle at both ends instead of investing into their future.

doilet.png - 373x469, 3.66K

The sonic adventure games are good and they're the only good sonic games

3DS and DS were the best era for video games.

Agreed. The DS especially felt like a mini ps1 renaissance.

This has nothing to do with my post

Dark Souls 2 was the best of the series.

Came here to say this

Live Service and Gacha games are not completely bad when executed correctly. I find myself recently enjoying Tribe Nine because it subverts a lot of Gacha by trying to be a Action JRPG 1st, with a Gacha Mechanic and a Battle Pass 2nd than trying to sell the thing on a Gacha and Battle Pass 1st. All the Characters starting out are 3 stars, and can clear the game, you get trial characters if you are struggling and also it has really good production values and has a nice difficulty of challenge.

Sadly the market has been poisoned by Hoyoverse, and Chinese stuff that everyone basically downtalks it and hates it. For good reason but this to me is one of the better ones of why Gacha/GaaS could work.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when people keep trying to say how Rockstar and Bethesda games are good. I get that normalfags would be wowed by them because of the sandbox nature of their worlds and especially the writing in Rockstar games but people who play more than a handful of games a decade should know better.

posts mp4 where player clearly has pumped the shit out of health and stamina

15 humanity

gargoyle helmet and other optimal weight x poise armor items

heater shield

player is abusing the AI in a way that most players new to the series won't understand

this is probably one of the worst examples i've seen of the game being "slop"

FF9 is worse than FF8

I think video games suck. I also think obsessing over vidya as an adult is unhealthy and kills one's enjoyment of them near completely. I'm too critical of vidya, all I see is flaws
this year I've played 5 games and disliked all of them, they were:

FlyKnight

Lorn's Lure

Peaks of Yore

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

System Shock remake

>JP voice “““actors””” will never be as good as Ben Starr, Michael Bell, or Cam Clarke

Dubfaggots deserve the rope.

He's right.

Have you thought about going to therapy for your bitch ass nigga syndrome?

Dawn of War 3 was actually good. no seriously.

There is only one Ace Combat game. If you played any of them, you've played all of them.

a naked deprived could do the exact same thing, nice fallacy

I agree, except I've never played Daggerfall and I only dabbled with Morrowind.

Mass Effect 2 is a much worse game than Mass Effect 1

At least Windhelm only has greyskins and shit lizards and isn’t full of goobacks.

I agree with the latter part

Fag

Correct statement

Contrarian

Anon...

you mean sexually or as friends?

Diablo 2 was ruined by the expansion

Klonoa 2 was the best game of 2001.

The main menu was, which is true of every Blizzard expansion, but otherwise, good god, man, this is certainly contrarian.

Both Nintendo and Capcom have failed to release a good game in the last 10 years.

Diablo 2 was ruined by the expansion

I thought this was the general consensus

I think Kingdom Hearts was always good but 2 is the worst.

Chrono Cross is better than trigger.

Final Fantasy 8 is the best Final Fantasy and Rinoa is NOT ultimecia.

EDF4.1 mogs the other games in the series so bad they’re only barely worth playing if you like it

And by always good I mean every single game is good. Ddd. 3. The gachas. Everything you're just too stupid to understand jrpgs and should return to darkness yourself

- playing through the same game with different movesets or skillsets is the best kind of replayability in that a challenge that might be easy for one character would be completely different from another
- speedrunning ruins games by stripping them down to their mechanics and exploiting every single flaw in order to get faster times
- every single third-person game - from shooters to hack-and-slashes to 3D platformers - would be better as stylish action games in that moves that add to combat could also easily add to mobility, and adding to one could increase the depth of the other
- sakurai's risk and reward philosophy and kamiya's emphasis on style and depth from skill would make the best game in existence if they collabed

file.png - 736x506, 701.01K

the main thing ruining multiplayer games aren't necessarily the developers themselves but the eSports fags and Tryhards making all of them unfun
also this

I'm okay with a good game being expensive because I usually get close to 1k hours of entertainment out of it.

I like overworlds more than open worlds. I'd probably like open worlds better if more of them did the KCD concept where you have random events pop up as you're fast travelling, but otherwise I find most open worlds just empty space where I beeline to the next batch of content

Paper Mario 64 > TTYD
MegaMan Legends 1 > 2
Mother 3 is just as good as Earthbound
Tales of Vesperia > Abyss > Symphonia
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam is a good game

D&D did irreparable damage to WRPGs

anything new has no staying power because people jump onto the next big thing way too fucking fast due to social media, and that's good because the bandwagon goes away

sales/numbers dont mean its a good game, just that its fomo and normies

millenials and zoomers are braindead and parroting streamer opinions whenever you want to talk about a game

players alongside secondaries/tertiaries hyperfixating on stories/characters killed any attempts by devs to make the gameplay good and it was one of the nails on the coffin

tycoon and RPGs got fucked as a whole because most modern slop has the number going up gimmick just to entice dopamine

ports and remakes shouldn't be full price and they get "justified" with a shit tier "content" addition

games need a constant supply of "content" now because they are released incomplete and people need "CONTENT I NEED CONTENT HOW CAN I PLAY THIS IT HAS NO CONTENT IN 2 WEEKS"

gamers needing MORE content when a game releases just fine with a healthy amount of playtime

loudest gamers being on polar extremes between anti woke chuds or leftie retards (they are both mentally ill and dont even like videogames) so the biggest circles are just a negative spiral of discussion instead of normal people or just nerds talking

shareholders crunching devs even more than in the 90s in big studios and indies either being complete gimmicks that have been done a hundred times just so people can latch onto them or kino with no inbetween

is that... A STARTER SHIELD?!?!?!

lol

Only coomer games are good

Twin Snakes's voice acting is leagues better than MGS1's.

I dropped Steins;Gate the anime, I figure I'm not missing much.

RPG games only exist thanks to D&D.

You really aren't. It's just basic time travel story complete with asspull ending.

I don't think jank exists and I genuinely don't think bad game design exists at all

Play Codename 47 and come back to this post.

Fallout 76 is the best Fallout game in the franchise
Fallout NV is one of the worst games I have ever played even fucking Fallout 76 doesn't even come close to that slop

Congratulations, you know way too fucking much about the most overrated game series of all time. Which prize would you like?

Eh, for its time it was pretty hard. Mainstream games got a lot easier through the mid 2000s and had been trending downwards since the shift away from arcades.

RPGs predate your awful tabletop garbage
tabletrannies have been WE WUZing video games to gain legitimacy

Also FO3 is better than NV anyday

90% of people who shit post about souls games are just doing it for attention and don't actually believe what they're saying

Halo

2 > 1 > Reach = ODST > 3

I like the RPG assassins creed games and I want to play Shadows.

Maybe you shoulder get a new hobby. You clearly don't even like video games. I'm not even being hostile or anything. You just don't seem like you enjoy playing them.

"good graphics" are a meme to distract plebs from the shitty writing and weak gameplay in modern titles. you don't need graphics quality to be any better than they were in 2010 or so
