GTA IV is the best in series. The RAGE engine is so much fun to play with and the game is filled with so many small details that makes the open world fun. The driving is bizarre but can be mastered and the damage models on the cars make up for it. If you think the game is too serious/edgy you either didn't play the game or are retarded.

Not much.
I really dislike Alans Wake and Max Payne 3 and generally think that both Rockstar and Remedy are two insanely overrated studios, both of which share pretty much the same fundamental flaws.
I do think that while they might be scum and an awful, awful as a developer, as a publisher Bethesda is still one of the better companies out there.

Also, I think anyone who claims that gameplay is all that matters in videogames is an idiot who literally does not even understand the words he is using. Not that he is wrong: I claim that people who say this don't actually use the words correctly in any way.
But that is not really all that contrarian these days.

That is all. I'm pretty vanilla old fart. I was here back when most of /v/'s silly biases started and before they became meaningless memes people regurgitate to make themselves feel like they "fit in", so I actually can mostly agree with them without being dishonest with myself or others.

Well, this might be rather controversial, but when you add:

Then there is nothing particularly offending about it. You can clearly distinguish between personal bias and some kind of more objective perception. So that really should not get anyones panties in a twist.

I will say that alan wake has an interesting story and good atmosphere. The gameplay is bad.

Max payne 3 had cool gameplay and art direction, but boring story and lost a lot of its style (plus fucking broken cutscenes load).

Gameplay isnt the only thing that matters but i think is the most important. Also good gameplay =/= deep and complex gameplay. To define what is good gameplay is impossible, as it depends on what the game want to accomplish.

Well, since this is a "look at my controversial opinions", I kinda did not assume anyone would really care.

But OK. My list of issues with MP3 would be pretty extensive, but in brief summary:
The game is insanely poorly balanced. The amount of exposition vs. action is just completely off and insanely obnoxious. The action in the first half of the game is interrupted almost constantly.
The story is horrible. Outside of being a cheap, literal knock-off of Man on Fire, its just worse in every way. I was never particularly fan of Max games, but I at least appreciated the character. Here, they turned him into an insufferable asshole with poor motivations. The whole OBSESSION with the game looking like a movie is annoying me to no end. This is one of the most desperately "cinematic" games I've ever seen and it really clashes with the actual gameplay.
It's dull and a lot of the visual tricks also just harm the gameplay. Poor visual indication of enemy dying being my particular issue. Also: last stand... WHAT THE FUCK?! Did NO ONE PLAY TEST THIS SHIT?!

Ok, there is more but I'm gonna cut myself off here.

>And remedy / rockstar?
They are THE most obsessive immitators of hollywood out there. And their works are shallow and dumb and poorly writen and often poorly designed, because every focus goes into attempt to superficially emulate high budget cinema.

>Why do you like bethesda?
I don't like them. I did enjoy quite a few games they published recently. WTNO, DOOM, Dishonored and Prey are among the better games released over the past few years.

>Gameplay isnt the only thing that matters but i think is the most important.
Yeah, this is something I just profoundly disagree with, but on a basis of again: proper or improper use of the terminology.
To me, the most important thing is quality or meaningfulness of the experience. Gameplay is a tool, not a goal. Hence claiming that it's most important makes no sense.

Any Xbox exclusive has been shitty (Gears, Halo, Crackdown, Dead Rising) and have only helped to the casualization of video games, fuck the Xbox brand in general, actually.

All the Witcher (Yes, including 3) games and most of the Elder Scrolls games fucking suck, janky, bug filled, shit combat, boring stories with shitty characters and content wise they aren't that much better than your average Ubishit fetch quest galore we see in every Assassin's Creed, for example.

Hack n' Slash games are overrated and are mostly easier version of fighting games with no competition what so ever, their main appeal should be the over the top animations and nothing else.

The way Nintendo makes consoles today should be the standards, although hardware wise they are shit at least they offer something new, the PS4 and Xbone are basically overpriced PCs, at least I can take my Switch anywhere I want.

Overwatch, Paladins and Battleborn are pretty much the same fucking game but with a different coat of paint, the fact that ANYONE that plays either laughs at any of the other games' playerbase proofs that anyone playing them are absolute morons with no taste in videogames.

Posting an objective comment in these threads in an attempt to be witty it's faggy as hell.

DMC3 is the best DMC game.
The reboot wasn't bad, it just wasn't good.

Alan Wake is alright but the combat felt like shit after a certain point.

Dark Souls 2 is fine, it only really lacks in world design compared to the first.
Dark souls 1 had a bunch of really really shitty bosses that people ignore because there where a few good ones.

PCfans and Sonybros are equally as shit.

This is not contrarian. This is just flat out false. I will never understand how you people can confuse the two.
Contrarian people may enjoy what other people don't and vice versa. But just flat out being an idiot and being wrong is not contrarian: that is just being wrong.
You might not enjoy TW games that is all well and fair. But declaring that the stories are bad and the characters are bad is just flat out not being right. These things aren't actually purely subjective.

Since when has stating facts become equal to being a contrarian? Daggerfall has more content, more weapon variety, a larger, albeit randomly generated world map and shitloads of dialogue options.

Daggerfall may have more content, but very much in the same sense No Man's Land has a lot of content: it is there, but it's largely meaningless. What it lacks is a good world, strong art direction, writing outside of books, interesting characters: anything that would make it more substantial, memorable and really worth the trouble. Two thirds of the game are spend crawling through awful proceduraly generated dull nonsensical dungeons where the generation can screw you over and that drag on for EVER, killing incredibly generic enemies and clearing out generic environments.
It's also insanely littered with bugs, balance issues, the generated content is just pure garbage, and in the end it actually does not live up to many other similar dungeon-crawling RPG's of it's time. It was too ambitious, suffered from feature creep and quantity over quality syndrome. It's an interesting piece of history and the books helped to establish the lore which would eventually be the only valuable part of the franchise: but the actual gameplay did not allow you to experience it. It was a dull game in which you occasionally read about something interesting in a book. In this sense, it was not unlike Oblivion.

Half of your comment can also be applied to Morrowind though. The only thing that Morrowind does better than Daggerfall are cities, but that's really thanks to the advances in graphics throughout those years. Other than that, you literally do the same thing in Morrowind - go through a tirade of dungeons that always repeat themselves, killing generic enemies and every now and then manage to obtain some fun items like the Windwalker boots and some broken rings. The expansions really elevated the overall quality of Morrowind but its gameplay sucked as much, if not, even more so than Daggerfall. Besides, Morrowind was also quite broken in its early days - still remembering how often it broke when I used Divine Intervention or got killed by magic projectiles.
>>
Morrowind is shit primarily because of its heavily inaccessible combat system.

>Half of your comment can also be applied to Morrowind though.
Only the balance and bugs, and frankly unlike Daggerfall, most of them weren't tied to core systems like the procedural generation algorythm and therefor got fixed eventually.

>The only thing that Morrowind does better than Daggerfall are cities, but that's really thanks to the advances in graphics throughout those years.
No, the only thing that Morrowind does better is the ENTIRETY of the environment, world and the interactions that you can have with it, including all actual in-game, not-book-tied characters and story. Which is like 80% of the game, really.

>- go through a tirade
Except every single one of them makes sense and has some story behind it and actual logic to the layout. You explore actual PLACES in Morrowind. Even if they share asset sets, they are actual places. They also re-use the same assets a lot less, though admitedly that is mostly because there is a lot less of them. But they are worth exploring, unlike the slog mazes of Daggerfall.

>killing generic enemies
I really don't think the word "generic" means what you seem to think it means. Because unlike Daggerfall, most enemies in Morrowind are not what you'd see in every second fantasy and are actually thematically consistent with the environment.

>but its gameplay sucked
This is hardly arguable, considering how much of a pain in the ass much of Daggerfal was: but OK, the gameplay is equally as flawed in both games. That makes the actual WORLD TO EXPLORE and stories to be part of determining which one is worth more. And I can fucking assure you, Morrowind wins on all sides there.

I and I had played Daggerfall before Morrowind, mind you. I had an era where I was fascinated with these kinds of RPG's: Daggerfal, Might and Magic 4-8, Eye of Beholder, Shadows over Riva, Betrayal at Krondor, Lands of Lore, Bards Tale, all that shit. Daggerfall was one of the weaker in this genre.

I'm a sonygro that hates every aspect of the ps2, it's library and it's success.

Even in arguments all people can do is think I'm baiting because it's such an outlandish idea for them to think.

It's success is solely on
>Riding PS1 success wave
>Favorable contract for devs
>Cheap as shit DVD player
Despite this it's hardware is weak fragile and was so underpowered that Nintendo's system was more powerful and that was the only time it ever had that position in the industry.

The ps2 is laughably shit yet it's only redeemed in it's success that isn't even attributed to itself but it's predecessor and contract

There is quite a lot of wrong with this. Mostly the fact that vast majority of JRPG's are not actually turnbased at ALL.

>>379388536
I find that questionable as well, it seems to me that you have the classical case of narrowing definition to "true X is only what I enjoy". JRPG's are no less RPG's than say, action RPG like Diablo or Witcher.

This is a meaningless distinction that you only made up to make yourself feel superior. Any argument that centers around "real ___ are things like this, not that casual shit everyone else enjoys" is incredibly pretentious.
>>
>>379388771
Yeah, and here we go with the "TRUE" clarifier. Which is a stand in for "I like something better, so I'm going to call that "true" because that way it will sound less like a subjective preference and more like an objective fact."

It's kinda pathetic, really. But thank you for sharing this with us.

Your opinion is so self assured that there doesn't really seem to be a point, but here we go anyways. RPGs are an incredibly broad genre. They don't just refer to your incredibly, needlessly narrow definition. The point is that saying something is or isn't a true RPG is inherently stupid, because the entire point of the discussion is just to make you feel superior for having better taste than others. You not liking something doesn't make it any less of an RPG. Let people like things ffs.
>>
>>379389335
That is funny coming from someone who did not make anything even remotely close to an actual argument himself. Luckly you are a predictable idiot parroting shit other people say so I can pretty much reconstruct your argument myself:
"It's not roleplaying because you are not really creating a character with his traits. It's not "real roleplaying" because your character stats don't define your interactions with the world."
Which by the way in the hands of somebody who is not a fucking mongolid would be a sensible position, except for one simple problems:
That is simply not how the common discourse uses the term. You can be an idealist declaring that everybody else is wrong because your point makes "more sense", but if your headcannon definition does not match the actual common usage, it's worth shit all. Also, in your case, again it's probably more a case of "I really want to find a way to translate my own personal subjective preferences into some kind of elitist tool to think myself better than others."

How is that, faggot?

The MGS trilogy suffers from the Childhood Anime Effect or CAE. CAE refers to an anime you watched in the late 90s/early 2000s like Yugioh, Pokemon, Digimon, Sailor Moon, DBZ, Yu Yu Hakusho to where it is part of someone's childhood and meant a lot to them growing up. Nobody should ever be able to take that away from you However, if any 21+ adult came across them they would put maybe 3-4 hours into them before tossing them aside.

Quake 3 has contains some of the best maps of all time or some of the worst maps of all time. It's kinda crazy how the quality varies from each to each

CS:GO is broken as fuck and does not deserve to be a multi-million esport. Yet it's pretty much the best thing ATM and I wish I could stop playing this garbage. Here's hoping Quake Champions doesn't blow though judging by the progress so far, it probably will

Unironically I disliked OoT as a kid after coming in from LoZ/ALttP. I replayed it recently and dislike it even more. SS isn't nearly as bad as people claim: the dungeon design is on par with WW (TP dungeons a best), I never had an issue with the motion controls, and I liked the swordplay better than mindlessly pushing B or Y. It's got flaws but it's far from the worst Zelda game I've played. I wasn't even annoyed by the Tadtones after I figured that spindashing attracted them.
