Persona 4 is the best persona game

It has the best setting, the best characters, the best OST, the best social links, and the best VA. The only thing P3 could laud over it is story but both of them are pretty awful anyway. P5 doesn't even compare except in the dungeon design, which still isn't perfect for what it's praised for. It baffles me anyone could honestly say P5 or P3 are better than P4

I might have come across a bit too harsh, though let me set it straight by saying that it is still a good game that I enjoy playing every now and again, and obviously it has a great deal of historic influence. But I also think people naming Megaman 2 as the best Megaman game are usually not really thinking about it and just pick the go to choice that it became over the years. A bit like OoT for Zelda, but more extreme.

If you can't adapt to older control schemes then you're just shit honestly. People who struggle to play games like RE or Megaman Legends should be embarrassed at themselves for being unable to make slight adjustments to different games.

Not the same anon but you can work with a control scheme while also being honest about it. I've played RE both regular and HD, and while the old style is certainly playable there's nothing wrong with preferring the newer style.
Also Monster Hunter wouldn't even work well with a lock on so I wouldn't group people who complain about the lack of a lock-on with people who are honest about old control schemes.

Old JRPGs are not and have never been great, and are rather a reflection of a time in gaming we've since surpassed.

Chrono Trigger, FFVI, and everything in between are mediocre. The appeal of JRPGs back then was that they provided a quality of story you couldn't find anywhere else. Since then, their stories, characters, and gameplay have been surpassed many times over.

I honest to god cannot think of anything more Reddit than believing that Chrono Trigger is anything greater than a 7.5/10.

Skyrim is like a 4/10 game. It's not horrible but it's brutally overrated by the mainstream and reddit so /v/ hates it with a fury.

>>376698623
The combat system is awesome, it's the enemy weakness system that makes the game stupidly tedious. There's something like 20 different factors that can affect an enemies damage, and if you're not hitting a weakness on them your damage output is goddamn horrid.

If they cleaned up all that nonsense and kept the combat system as is the game would be fantastic.

>>376699032
Yeah, but there's a world of difference between "oh, this game controls a bit odd" and "this game is bad because I'm unwilling to get used to the controls".

Like anyone who thinks the first 3 RE games are bad because of tank controls just plain doesn't have a respectable opinion.

>I honest to god cannot think of anything more Reddit than believing that Chrono Trigger is anything greater than a 7.5/10.

Both of them have extensive financial ties to the Russian government. Manafort was working in eastern Europe to help pro Putin political parties. Flynn was caught promising a Russian diplomat that Trump will lift the sanctions. Both of those men worked in the Trump campaign and Flynn was hired by Trump despite being warned by Obama, and then warned again by Sally Yates that Flynn was vulnerable to blackmail from the Russians, and Trump didn't act on it until the media found out. The excuse Trump gave was that he thought Obama was joking and that Sally Yates warning wasn't an emergency.

Sure is the one that gets all the recognition, but I don't think it is worse than the others, let alone say than it is a bad game.

It's like saying than Ocarina of Time is one of the worst Zeldas just because is popular.

Not much to say about Crash Bandicoot. Yes, it was very unpolished and clunky, it doesn't look like it belongs with 2 and 3, but it was the first one. Like Mega Man 1, it feels more like a test game and it was fun to play back in 1996.

I remember being in high school when Prime was announced and they marketed it heavily as the "Halo killer." Prime was literally the only way to get my Halo-loving friends to even consider getting a Gamecube. Especially when Prime 2 added multiplayer.

My friends have all moved on and forgotten the Prime games even existed, moved on to the newer and greater AAA titles with "the best graphics" like most of those types of gamers do.

But to this day I don't think Nintendo ever forgot that for one glorious moment they had a Halo killer on their machine. And they will never let that just fade.

Games like Super Metroid are never coming back. Sorry, guys.

A lot of people here praise CTR over Mario Kart 64. The only people that don't are fags who get defensive over the N64s library of games, but yeah CTR is a much better game with better tracks and an infinity better boosting system that gives it decent depth over MK64. The only cool thing MK64 has is out of bounds stuff, but that literally breaks some tracks.
>>
>>376699738

"Gamer" is a nice, corporate term for the losers who are willing to sink a fortune into chasing the "biggest and greatest" in video game tech before moving onto their next fix (whatever the corporations shill out to them). They're no different from the same people who always have to have the most expensive car or nicest TV just to brag about how awesome they are. None of them actually play games to enjoy them, only to "live in the moment" and have bragging rights.

The Wii and DS were one of the worst decisions Nintendo ever made because it made them look even more childish than they already did and led to their own demise by creating the mobile gaming craze among normies

Capcom shot themselves in the foot by releasing Mega Man 9 and 10 as "retro" games and that singlehandedly killed the Mega Man franchise.

I feel like SotC is like a near perfect game, its only flaw is that the helping voice kicks in a bit too quickly and there should be an option to turn it on or off at the start of the game and within the pause menu. Beyond that the game does what it sets out to do nearly perfectly and it's a super fun game.

Also more related to the thread, but first person combat always feels shitty. There's always an odd disconnect between what your weapon model shows and what actually connects on enemies, also trying to gauge an enemies attacks and predicting what will actually hit you is always shoddy at best.

>None of them actually play games to enjoy them, only to "live in the moment" and have bragging rights.

When I was a kid playing Crash and Spyro I didn't give a shit about anything other than having fun.

>The Wii and DS were one of the worst decisions Nintendo ever made because it made them look even more childish than they already did and led to their own demise by creating the mobile gaming craze among normies

Nintendo didn't make Pokémon GO.

>Capcom shot themselves in the foot by releasing Mega Man 9 and 10 as "retro" games and that singlehandedly killed the Mega Man franchise.

Mega Man has more than one series so causality is not causation.

I think people are just attached to the Mario characters more. Guess you're right about gravity gun though.

This is can support.

When Halo came out, it was just the next Goldeneye. I think we literally just jumped from one game to the other and that was pretty much it. To guys my age who were in high school when the Xbox came out, it was just the next "upgrade" for us. I don't think any of my friends seriously kept up with the Halo series after that.

But I know a lot of younger guys who grew up as kids with Halo and they treat it like it's this amazing franchise, like a Greek epic told in modern form. I don't get it. They'll take days off from work just to blast through the newest Halo or spend 100's of dollars on the Master Chief gear.

I guess it's part of buying back their childhood, but from an older dude who remembers Halo from its nascence it really wasn't that remarkable or special of a game. It's just been hyped up over the years into something huge. Nostalgia has rewritten that game series into becoming bigger than Mario, and that's just insane to me.

It's a shame, but the Microsoft machine can work wonders for mediocre games.

Dark Souls 3 is the best in the series.
Max Payne 2 is the worst in the series.
Bioshock Infinite is the best in the series.

But you were a kid, so of course you had fun. I'm talking about adult men who bought the Scorpio and PS4Pro, who bought the Switch at launch, who have Gamestop Powerup cards in their wallet, who regularly trade in games, who buy collector's editions of Halo, who brag about their trophies or gamer score in normal conversation.... It's a culture of manchildren who can't see video games as just a fun hobby, but instead turned it into a digital pissing contest.

I've played games my whole life, but never felt the need to brag about it. Maybe I'm the outlier, but it drives me crazy to be out with friends and they start talking about the "flavor of the month" game they just beat. I get that it's become a major part of our culture, like going to the movies, but it's so transient. They just move on from one thing to the next, like it doesn't even matter. I'm probably the only guy in my group of friends who doesn't have a "man cave" with both an Xbox and PS4 hooked up all hours of the day. It sucks to not feel like I'm a part of that, but I take pride in not feeling suckered in to it either.

And Pokemon Go is the logical extension of games like Brain Age, Wii Sports, etc. It's a normie game that's only possible on a smart phone, but has its roots in the DS and Wii. Nintendo created their own goliath to slay. If they didn't open up the door to normies and say "hey, you can play video games too!" all of the smartphone games would just be shit like Solitaire because that's all we had before DS/Wii.

And by sticking to the retro style, it showed that Capcom had no confidence in the Mega Man brand. If it was a full-fledged title in the vein of Mario Galaxy, say, it would have gotten so much more attention. It doesn't matter that there are other Mega Man spinoffs.

Look at the sales figures for Halo 1 and Halo 2.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_in_video_gaming#Video_game_sales

Halo 2 and its introduction of online multiplayer to a shitton of kids is why the series got such a big boost, and why the series is kind of floundering now. The only reason the OG xbox got sales was because of its online system and how it handled console online FPS games.

Really, online multiplayer games dominate the market still and I personally love them, so the series to introduce that to a new generation of kids is going to be praised to hell and back for doing something that Quake 1 basically did.

>Max Payne 2 is the worst in the series.
I disagree with you heavilly but it's all right
That award goes to Max Payne 3.

>>376700948
That's actually a pretty good point. Thanks for bringing this up.

I will say that the friends who do still play Halo are pretty much in it for the online.

Mighty No. 9 wasn't a bad game
>>
God Hand is literally the best game ever made

Dwarf Fortress would be the best game ever made but it's figuratively unplayable
>>
Visually Saints Row 3, 4, GooH looks like dogshit compared to SR1 and SR2.

People who self-insert themselves into games are immediate faggots.

You can just accept that "gamer" is a very broad term.

The Wii and the DS have some good stuff so I can't share your opinion on them, but that's the nature of this thread. Honestly I don't get the point in being bothered when a company makes games for more people. Just vote with your wallet and buy the games you actually want to play and go about your business.

I know Capcom made lots of bad decisions but that's really presumptuous.

I just hate all the history revisionists on here and abroad that think that Halo CE day 1 was this mammoth success because its just this perfectly made FPS game. It's a good game but honestly it's like a 7/10 if you focus solely on the single player.

Also related to the thread, but GTA is the most overrated game series released. All the games core mechanics are alright at best, the only reason the series got big was because of normies latching onto it due to it basically being the first open world non RPG game.

The Nintendo 64 also took advantage of the multiplayer setting. Games like Mario Kart 64 and Goldeneye wouldn't be as praised as they are, if it hadn't been for it's multiplayer.

Noone gives a fuck about what setting you make a souls game in, they're all basically the same.

>Minecraft is the best game released in the last 15 years
millions of other kids your age think the same

I just want challenging "character action" games over Souls.

Half-life 2 is way better than the original
