Never played Skyrim. Explain to someone like me why everyone loves the game yet /v/ overwhelmingly hates it.
Because it managed to achieve CoD and AssCreed levels of mainstream success which meant that its primary demographic was complete normies.
Go to any group of actual gamers and everyone hates Skyrim. Even the faggots on reddit and gaf generally hate that shit. Everyone can point to the game being a buggy and broken unpolished mess, the writing being absolutely terrible and the gameplay being totally mindless.
But the normies this game is for don't care even slightly about things like writing or combat depth. To them it's just an epic fus roh dah dragon fighting game that they can play for an hour at the most a couple times a week when their girlfriends let them. They don't play it enough, or think about it enough, for the game's horrible flaws to become clear.
There is also a niche contingent of folks who just use it as a modding platform.

/v/ is of contrarian
Skyrim is a good game (on PC)
Kinda like Witcher 3, but with console commands and mod that allow you to do literally anything

The general consensus on the TES games is that if you played Morrowind you will dislike Oblivion and Skyrim because those two were far more generic and simplified when compared.
Skyrim isn't a bad game. It has a decent main quest. The map is gorgeous and fun to explore. But it isn't Morrowind. It doesn't have that other-wordliness to it. Nor it's depth or quality of writing.
That's why people here generally dislike it.

Horizon: Zero Content

So what happened to Barney?
>>388212737
He is at the bar waiting for Gordon to buy him a beer
What happened to Adrian Shepherd?
He probably would've been part of the "backup squad" leading the rebels not following Alyx and Gordon around.
Is Toon Link the only accepted reinvention of a character in the gaming industry?

How do we fix him /v/?
Have him stay dead
>>388212527
>He sees the light as hes fighting you
Or
>DLC that involves an extra dungeon, Akechi's palace
>Becomes a permanent party member if completed
>>388212527
Doesn't really need fixing imo. I would have preferred if he stayed a calm detective the whole game, but I really like the way it turned out too.

Secret of Mana is getting a remake.
Steam, PS4 and PS VITA.

How do we stop this fat fuck from destroying pc gaming?
One can't stop the Jewish train, a man tried once and he ended up in a cross.
Gabe Newell's not Jewish.
And even if he was, so what? Being Jewish doesn't make you a bad person.

Why was Gen 1 so fucking good?
>>388211936
Because it was all pokemon was for four years, and thus had numerous spin offs and marketing to emphasize it.
That's why nobody remembers or cares about Johto or the other regions.
>>388211936
The music.
Because I was 8 when it came out.
It didn't have to be this way anon, you made me do this, remember that.
Remember Half Life 3 not for what was wasted away but for what you decided to let go.
>some salty ex valvefag released some early story draft
>retards think it means the game isnt currently in development
so fucking stupid

How is this series so popular? HL2 is irredeemably shit, cinematic shooter with lame gunplay, bad AI, and half of it is essentially a tech demo for the Source engine.
It was one of the first games to weave narrative into the gameplay itself, not being reliant on cutscenes. Personally I've never found this that impressive. The result is just you standing around watching things happen at times. It creates a little less distance between the player and the game environment, but it's hardly a perfect wedding of gameplay and narrative. Half-Life has always been more innovative than remarkable in terms of quality.

plebbit likes it so its popular. welcome to the internet
>>388212060
I disagree completely.
The gameplay is nice, varied and refreshingly open, atmosphere and visuals top-notch, and set pieces are actually varied and memorable.
Tfw I've never bought a valve gaem
