I enjoyed Jedi Academy more than JEdi Outcast. While I consider Outcast to have the more solid campaign, I adored how much variety was in the missions of Academy. In one mission you'll be racing around a Remnant outpost in the sky coordinating bombing runs while in another you will repair your ship while running from Sand monsters (think tremors but more teeth).

>>384063260
Jedi Academy also had the best multiplayer of all time.

I really enjoy Paper Mario TTYD for a lot of reasons but it suffers heavily from some serious pacing issues throughout the entire game. It's stop start stop start and It's infuriating. The first game is a lot more consistent and I like that it doesn't play up the 'paper' aspect of the visuals.

>>384061749
Was gonna say what you said. I wonder if the people who are so dismissive over it were too young when it came out. It was groundbreaking and all anyone would talk about for months and it was mostly word of mouth. The game that changed everything. For better or worse.

>>384064837
And yea, I can still come back to it any time and it gives me that feeling more than any other one even though I loved vc and sa when they came out about as much.

>>384061749
I don't see the appeal of The Elders Scroll and Souls.

>>384061749
Agree but...

Vice City had more flair

Halo 3 is one of the best videogames ever made

I unironically considered Battleborn a solid 8/10 game after that winter patch and feel sorry for Gearbox that it tanked so hard.

I loved this game as a kid, but I can't enjoy it nowadays.

Sad, since I like the jazzy, urban and early 00s vibe it has going for it.

>>384061749
>I would argue that Grand Theft Auto 3 is probably my favorite in the series.

This is a very good opinion, it's only unpopular because open world games are still cutting-edge and people have shitty taste in them.

What made GTA3 special was seeming so damn alive, with the police chases being the best mechanic in the game. For an open-world game it was genuinely fucking exciting, the fact that cops could intercept you from so many different streets in this big world.

The sequels didn't expand those genuinely exciting qualities (they've even gone backwards with 4 and 5). I found them too boring, they didn't expand on the first one enough, while I remember being endlessly excited playing the third one.

>>384065752
>I found them too boring, they didn't expand on the first one enough
sorry, I meant the third one

Easy games are more fun than hard games. Balanced games with both easy and hard parts are funner.

I like QTEs, what else are you meant to have? Cutscenes?

Playing without HUDs is the best way to immerse yourself in game.

I like both weeb and Western games.

I don't really mind diversity or politics in video games but only if it's done in good taste.

CoD games are still fun, they're just dragged down by cryptokey/microtransaction chests, lag, and the expensive-ass DLC.

The first Watch Dogs is great. Even if you're bored with the story, you have tons of minigames and the fantastic Online Hacking online mode (which can be played without PS Plus).

>>384067885
*Online Hacking multiplayer mode

The sequel is an absolute abortion. I don't know how anyone can defend it.

I recently finished The Witcher 1 and now I'm playing The Witcher 2... what the fuck just happened? they consolized the game and is just so slow and boring to prepare for a battle and navigate trough the menus, the locking target don't lock the camera on the target, if you get hit in the back you lose A LOT of your health, all the hotkeys on the first game are gone. I'm uncomfortably playing this just to get to the third game

>>384067885
Black Ops was my favorite COD game of all time. Honestly, almost all of the Treyarch games are top tier and Modern Warfare 1-2 were fucking schweet. And I'm really glad to hear the first Watch Dogs was great. I picked it up when it was free but hadn't gotten around to playing it because of the flack it receives.

Unpopoular Opinion: Bioshock Infinite was a fun game that didn't have the depth of the prior two games but it wasn't trying to be them. It was a solid 10-12 hour campaign with a partner that didn't weigh you down. It was a swashbuckling adventure that didn't quite stick the landing but it had varied combat and on the higher difficulties it was quite fun.

>>384069123
I played the second and shit out after five hours. It just couldn't quite get my attention. Is the first game worth a play?

>>384069123
The third game is overrated as all hell.

Is not a game for everyone, the combat is just 'click on the target and click again at the right time to keep the combo', the animations are shit even for the time the game was released, the pace is slow at the start but at the final chapter it feels really rushed... even so you can tell that CD Projekt really tried to introduce to the rest of the world to the witcher series. You have a lot of story and lore to backup all the things that you do in the game thanks to the journal, if you like to read then you're going to have a good time.

Music is really good too

Borderlands 2 and the Pre-Sequel are fantastic games ruined by the horrific scaling on higher difficulties. It's not impossible, but it makes certain builds impossible to use and forces you into a play style that isn't exactly the most enjoyable. That isn't to say it can't be fun, but I have to have certain weapons to progress and that fucking sucks.

>>384061749

I'm actually glad to see this opinion isn't as contrarian as I thought. Everyone always says San Andreas is the best because of the sheer amount content placed in it but 3 was a well oiled machine that keeps drawing me back in. Vice City felt like a happy medium between the two but I loved 3.

>>384070679
I completely understand why you would think that. It did a lot of things wrong but I still found it enjoyable. Borderlands 1 scaling was fucking god tier though.

>>384070728
Completely feel ya on that one. Being able to restart your game with all of your stats is great but that only mitigates a few of the problems.

Alright, super bad opinion incoming. I enjoyed Metroid Fusion more than Zero mission. By a significant margin. I love both, but Fusion was the shit.

>>384070728
I bet you like dead rising 4? The time limit made the game more intense. 4 was ruined it was basically a zombie game with the name deadrisinh attached to it

they may be overweight, but they're not kids and teenagers. /b/ is basically facebook for stalkers nowadays

there was a poll on /v/ last september asking how old you are and the top most voted is Under 18

Being moe/ecchi doesn't automatically make a game bad, Atelier Arland was one of the best JRPG series on the PS3, Neptunia games are trashy (but fun) however.

>>384071023
The problem with presequel was 2k australia. The humor and dialog and annoying npc accents turned me off. But the guns in the game are awesome. Havent tried the claptastic voyage yet i imagine its good

>>384071232
I enjoyed the Atelier games until Sophie, which I didn't like. Neptunia is fucking shit, though. It doesn't even have nice music like the Atelier games.

>>384061749
Souls games are bad games made popular because of their stigma of difficulty.

Realism past a certain point is bad. Arma is an example of a game taking realism to a point where its unfun.

In the case of multiplayer games, it is fair to judge game quality partially on it popularity, if this popularity affects q times. An example of a game I would apply this to is dota. On teh West Coast, its so unpopular q times are adversely affected at any respectable mmr.

>>384071037
DR4 might be good if they didn't try to make Frank into a Chad.

>>384061749
It's 'subjective' is a euphemism for garbage.

>>384070012
I agree with all of these points, but I contend that pol is worse because they actively shit up other boards while v stays self contained. A few weeks back there was a donald Trump general on v that hit upwards of 200 posts before being pruned. You don't see a New Vegas thread on /pol/. /V/ is a shithole, but at least it stays where it's supposed to be.

The entire ending sequence disagrees with you

Fire Emblem Fates has layers upon layers of retarded shit in it but I still genuinely had more fun with it than Echoes. Have completed every FE except the original 1 (played Mystery of the Emblem B1 and Shadow Dragon) and Gaiden (Played Echoes)

Splatoon doesn't grab my interest at all. I just want a new F-Zero game.

>>384061749
I really like MGS 1-4 but I never really found 3 to be that much better than the others

I prefer GTA3/VC to all the ones following them as they maintained the concept of sandbox within their missions as well whereas in all games afterwards, the player is shoehorned into doing missions a specific way for the sake of the missions feeling more cinematic.

I prefer Diablo 3 by far of any other loot hunt ARPG because all its streamlining, optimizing of controls, and various other mechanical tweaks ensures that the gameplay is fun rather than the build planning.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is a fine game outside the base "it feels incomplete" flaw everyone throws at it. Sure outside maybe one or two augs there isn't much difference in how Jensen plays so there is only minor changes here, but it's absurd to call the game no different from HR considering how dense the levels themselves are. It's got one of the if not the most dense level design in gaming where every nook and cranny has a lot to it; stepping up the level design density like this is a much more important change/newer feature than anything that would otherwise be added to an immersive sim since level design is most important.

I vastly prefer God Of War games to the Japanese beat em ups everyone loves here (except maybe God Hand) since it offers a much more diverse experience, and it's equivalent of a rewarding challenge (a max difficulty no upgrade run) requires the most ingenuity out of the player of these games without feeling bullet spongey despite the high difficulty. This way you get a varied game for the most casual of people who want to enjoy the spectacle to people that just wanna mess around with different moves to people that want a hardcore challenge. Also, best third person perspective action camera of all time (...that will be replaced in the new game with the kind of third person camera that all other action games get shit for having.)

WHile I don't agree with that opinion, I completely understand why you would think so.

Unpopular Opinions:
I hated Jazzpunk
I consider Chroma Squad one of the best tactical RPG's of all time.
Ultimate Spider-Man was the best Spidey games hands down.
Hotline Miami 2 is hot garbage and this is coming from someone that beat the game. It forced a playstyle that was the exact opposite of the first and I hated it all the way to the end.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse was the best DBZ game to come out (Havne't played 2 because it would curbstomp my computer).
Fable 3 was fun but severely flawed.
Indigo Prophecy was more fun than Heavy Rain but they shit the bed on the ending.
FFVIII has the best combat system out of all of them.
Mass Effect 2 is my favorite of the series.
I hated the back half of Oddworld Strangers Wrath.
I loved Thirty Flights of Loving
I enjoyed The World is Not Enough more than Goldeneye by a significant margin.
Arkham Origins is my favorite Batman games hands down.

Hard games are fun when they make liberal use of checkpoints, its the reason why Ninja Gaiden is so good, would have been perfect if they didnt boot you back to the start of a level if you fuck up boss fights

I hate final fantasy 7 but love 12.

I also hate classic resident evil,but love everything after 4 Revelations being my favorite.

I think indie games are absolute trash

The ps2 era of survival horror was the best and noting this day comes close

House Lannister is the best and if house stark is your favorite than you're probably a showfag who loves jon and just watch it for the killing and tits

NieR: Automata was inferior to the first game in most regards, and is the most grossly overrated game on /v/ since The Witcher 3. If 2B was not so perfectly designed from looks down to her model Automata would not have gotten as much attentino.

>>384071767
Idk why they wouldnt get the og voice actor to play him again. Plus they made dr4 too easy like no time limit health automatically recharges itself and frank turned into a hipster and they got rid of bosses and added maniacs lol wtf and what pisses me off is the real ending is blocked by a fucking pay wall

999 >>>> ZTD > VLR

Almost everyone in VLR is extremely unlikable and the map traveling sequences and repetition of certain scenes drag down the whole experience. It also features the most boring environment in the series and the whole game is basically just a setup for plot points that weren't delivered on in ZTD. Also that rabbit fucker is just insufferable.

>>384061749
I got 3 back during a steam sale and holy shit did it bring back some nostalgia. It was way ahead of it's time when it came out and after playing some missions I realized why my parents didn't want me playing it when I was young. It was a gritty crime game set in what was modern day new york with some fun stuff added in to help lighten the mood every once in awhile. It was genius.

Saying that /v/ doesn't spill because you don't see any video games on /pol/ is retarded. Putting politics everywhere is easy since it can be applied to pretty much everything, but you can't put video games everywhere. When other boards complain about /v/, they don't complain about the video games, they complain about the shitty /v/ mentality that infects them.

I'm not a fan of GTA VC. I like every other GTA with the exception of V. I'm not sure what it is about it. It just doesn't appeal to me.

>>384071654
>>384073446

Pretty much everyone who actually likes Souls praises the games for their freeform exploration, level design, atmosphere, meaningful RPG elements and offering the experience of discovering an otherwise lost and unknown world and its history while progressively understanding its mechanics. The difficulty is there largely to gate off areas until you're strong and skilled enough to beat them because you've found good enough stuff.

A good part of the fanbase actively mocks those who praise the series for its difficulty alone and considers them plebeian.

Super Mario Sunshine is my favourite 3D Mario game.

I really don't like Halo 3, but love 1 and 2, the rest are meh to okay.

I play more casual games than "hardcore" games since they take little to no time to get into the zone

I like cartoony games (Spyro, Ratchet and Clank, Wind Waker) more than any other style partly because the visuals never really age, and partly because the developers have more fun with the game and create more interesting worlds.

I hate playing competitive multi-player games, I get nothing from the competition of it all, winning against a CPU has the same feeling for me too.

Zelda is a pretty mediocre IP.

The fact that it's not open world nonsense and actually requires you to find ways around things is exactly why the game is good though. If you really want to go through New Londo out of the gate nothing is stopping you.

Twilight Princess is a horrible ripoff of OoT that's inferior in practically every way.

Really, to appreciate Zelda you have to be independently motivated to want to explore the games for their own sake, as that's where the series reveals its greatest jewels. If you didn't care for OoT that much I wouldn't know what to recommend, because MM and WW build off of it while having greater focus on questing and NPC interaction, while the 2D games like LoZ, AoL and Oracle of Seasons are more focused on combat. But really, Zelda it at its best the more freeform and directionless it is, so I don't know what to say unless I understand what about your experience of OoT left you wanting.

Every time I play Sonic Adventure 2, I am amazed why they didn't just make only Sonic/Shadow levels. They are clearly the most fun levels. I honestly don't get it: they spent a lot of effort on the Robotnik/Tails/Knuckles/Rouge levels and they are all terrible. Why not make it only Sonic/Shadow levels that are actually really fun to play?

And get ready for this unpopular opinion: the Sonic/Shadow levels in SA2 are superior and more fun than classic Sonic. I would much rather play through levels like City Escape, White Jungle or Radical Highway than any of the levels in classic Sonic. I understand the levels are super easy and you basically just hold a direction to win, but isn't Sonic good because of the audio-visual rush?

That's because of the amount of polish Nintendo put into their games. There's so much effort put into the games that they're never really unpleasant to play, even if the game is average. I played through most of the Zelda series, I found the games mediocre but I never felt like not wanting to play anymore.

>>384082171

IX is shit on because it's one of the more popular titles, so you get the aggressive opposition to the circle jerk that can occur with /v/ sometimes. It's my favourite from the music to the visual aesthetic, and I'll forever hate Square for throwing out the original backgrounds so we'll never get them in HD.

That's hardly an unpopular opinion. Try again.

I'm not sure if this is contrarian as much as just potentially overzealous, but IMO Bloodborne is the closest video games will ever come to being art, and will never be surpassed.

It's also the best game ever made, and no developer has ever made a more perfect DLC than the old hunters.

Fuck me I love bloodborne.

ALttP is a fucking terrible game. All of the mystery of the original has been sucked out, and I never liked the controls, the multi directional movement is awkward. Also the game is stunningly ugly, this is not a good looking game, the dungeons are some of the worst looking dungeons of the 16 bit era

I think it's just that Ocarina of Time was built up to be the be all, end all of gaming (or at least that's what my friends made it out to be), and I couldn't help but be a little dissapointed. I enjoyed the dungeon exploration but the world didn't feel like an actual living world. Just a set of locations with NPC's dropped in with quests.
I did love Link's Awakening though. Game was cash.

In what ways does it not hold up? Give it the same graphics and physics engine as BOTW, which do you think would end up being the better game?

I actually really liked DaS2: SoTFS, I don't understand the hate. Yeah there's flaws but I had the most fun out of the 3 in the series simply because of how non linear the world is and the sheer amount of content.

It's the only Zelda game I played so I can't judge others. I'm in my mid to late 20s too so it's not a young buck thing, I can still go back and play nes-ps1 era shit for the first time today and love it but OoT was a drag for various reasons. But still, I can respect what it was like at the time.

>>384066601
QTEs are bad because they:
Require you to always have the controller ready during cutscenes, watching for prompts rather than paying attention to the scene.
Take you out of normal gameplay to mash a button instead of using an action you can do normally.

>>384084805
Your first point is widely accepted by normies and /v/. It's no secret Halo carried the xbox, red ring was enough to make it terrible

Not him but QTEs are the jump scares of gameplay, cheap facsimiles of what they're pretending to be, gameplay/fear they require no skill or effort. Asura's Wrath is probably one of the only good examples of them I can think of, because it was effectively a minimal interaction movie game.

>>RE5 coop > RE4 > RE5 Solo
My friend ruined RE5 coop with me. We played on the hardest difficulty and he forced me to adopt what we called "the system" throughout the entire game. The system is a practice where you spend one bullet per zombie and anything more would force a restart. He said it would all be worth it as we were amassing magnum ammo like no tomorrow so we could blow away the final boss but that all ended in dissapointment.

Ratchet Deadlocked was my favorite Ratchet game and while it didn't have the story or variety of the previous games I felt it had the best gameplay out of the entire series.

>>384061749

I also think GTA3 is my 2nd favorite (The first goes to GTA:London 1969, a dark overlooked masterpiece) - I also love Claude's constant silence.

I also liked the vehicle designs, it felt very real and NYC, and I appreciated that.

>>384061749
There should be no bans or punishment pool as punishment for leaving/toxicity in games, they should just bring more attention to mute/block features.

I'm not saying these should go unpunished, but maybe reducing xp gain or something would be more constructive.

Quitting/dcing only became an issue on a gameruining scale with mobas, who were the first ones to put large emphasis on player conduct and banned for dcing

>Handheld games on the other hand are actually stimulating the creation of small dev groups and indie game makers. Since the price needed to develop for handhelds is drastically smaller, and the power is strong enough to handle most, if not all, indie titles without much effort (without going overboard), the handheld scene has done nothing but good for the creation of games and smaller titles.

I'm genuinely curious how diversity improves a game's gameplay. Because I personally believe just representing a specific race in a game is an empty gesture and does absolutely nothing to improve gaming as a whole. Not that I'm against it, mind you. I just don't see how it's impactful in anyway.

So you're wanting the pretty person replaced with an ugly person, that's hardly more diverse.

>>384090680

>>384091103
It takes the same amount of time to design an ugly person.

>>384089927
Mostly from a story and sales perspective. Having that variety of people from different socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds can allow the plot to delve into stories not normally seen in games. I know much of /v/ hates him, but Dorian is a good example of this from Dragon Age. In Watch_Dogs 2, there's a funny scene where Marcus and Horatio talk about Horatio being the only black guy at his job and about how, despite being good at his job, he's a diversity hire, so he's not given any challenging tasks.

And, in marketing, it can help expand who looks at the game. Having an Arab hero might push more Arabs to playing games. People like seeing themselves in media.

>>384088795
You're very right about the PS4 community. YouTube comments are evident of this.

>>384091197
So making a pretty person automatically makes an ugly person? No you need to increase the time it takes to design characters, from the concept stage to the ultimate implementation. Publishers wont give them more time to do this so something has to give, i.e. gameplay time.

>>384091313

The Two Worlds games honestly aren't that bad. If you don't go in expecting AAA quality gameplay, you'll find two completely playable RPGs. Sure they lack polish, but they're nowhere near as bad as everyone makes them out to be.

The same goes for Risen 1 and Risen 2. I'll agree that Risen 3 is garbage -- but the first two games are both fairly well made. I enjoyed playing through both of them.

>>The Last of Us is a decent game with storytellling that is merely competent and unexciting gameplay
Thank you for stating this. I enjoyed The Last of us but many of the gameplay decisions were fucking retarded. The fact that I could kill an enemy and other enemies on the complete opposite side of the map would know my instant position even if I moved away was god damn retarded. It literally killed the game for me and I know that's petty but that's the truth.

>>384093079
>>Far Cry 4 is a great game
HAZAH! This was actually the first Far Cry I ever beat and that's after playing 1, 2, 3, and Blood Dragon. For some odd reason for just drew me in with the amount of freedom it gave me for missions as well as having some of the most polished gameplay of the series. The endings were awful but allowed you to do something about it. Anita was a cunt that ruined Kyrat and I let a Tiger eat her ass and afterward pumped 50 or so rounds into her lifeless corpse. Fucking cunt.

I don't even like Gone Home, I just wanted to know anon's opinion so that I knew where they stood on what makes a game good, since they're arguing that games are made better/more immersive by having a few ugly characters.

I thought the Tomb Raider reboot was actually pretty damn good.

I answered you. It depends on the game.

>I unironically like DaS2 and prefer it over DaS3 or 1

>Vice City and 3 are the best PS2 GTAs and SA is overrated
>I actually like the exo movement in CoD Advanced Warfare because it changed gameplay massively when the gameplay got increasingly stale, a la Ghosts/Blops 2

Vice City is the worst GTA game.

>>384098434
then which was the best?

Going off your post, I hate open world games. When GTA III first came out and my friends were busting their nuts over it I just didn't get it. It looked like shit, it played like shit, and it was """Open World""" so you had the extra tedium of re-walking to every level.

>>384095564

I know he just said Vice City was the worst, but I really really enjoyed it. The map didn't have the complexity of 3 or San Andreas but the atmosphere and mission difficulty were polished to a mirror sheen. Tommy Vercetti was a fantastic protagonist and being able to purchase your own business and accumulate money from them was an excellent touch. I won't say the story was the greatest in the franchise as it was essentially the GTA version of Scarface but to call it the worst is selling the game short. I would call it a happy middle ground between GTA3 and Vice City.

While I said GTA3 is my favorite and consider it is a finely tuned game but doesn't have a quarter of the depth the other games can offer. While I wouldn't say it's my favorite (not for gameplay reasons necessarily but more personal preference), San Andreas was a technical leap in the open world genre that I feel has yet to be matched. The world map was fucking gigantic and all of the islands felt uniquely there own. Of course it didn't look the greatest due to having to render SO MUCH STUFF but in terms of characterization, customization, and world exploration it remains unmatched to this day. GTA4 is a fantastic entry to the series if you're looking for one to jump into but I can't recommend San Andreas highly enough. If you can get over the dated graphics you'll be in for a game for the ages.
>All of this is subjective and I more than understand others preferences for the other GTA games.

>>384098685
I completely understand your dislike for open world games and while I don't agree, I more than get why you would feel that way. What linear games do you really enjoy? Level based games are a dying breed.

>>384099453
As petty as it sounds, i didn't enjoy the Exo-Suit movement because I had just came from Titanfall and considered it more of a gimmick to include "just cause" rather than develop maps to fully take advantage of the new system.

Powerstone 1 didn't have more content than Powerstone 2, but I felt it was the better fighting game by a significant margin.
All of the Assasin's Creed games are awful
>this might just be me playing them at an age where I didn't appreciate them but I always felt the fun to boring gameplay ratio was not in its favor.
Black Mesa sucks. It looks great but I'd rather play the orignal Half-Life
Portrait of Ruin is my favorite 2D Castlevania. That isn't to say the others aren't great, but something about this one connected with me.
Firewatch was a great game if only for the reason that it taught me how to use a map and compass.
Prototype 2 had better gameplay but a worse story.

Are you talking about the mod or the standalone? I think the mod version of BM is much better despite not having the Xen levels.
>>384099653
I can definitely see why you'd think that, a few of AW's base maps didnt seem to take advantage of the new movement, its almost as if they were designed as boots-on-the-ground maps.

>he

>>384100592
I'm gonna add to this, the mod has decent graphics despite being relatively buggy, plus its free. in the current release the graphics are more or less the same but overdone, and its hella expensive.

>>384100592
I think I'm talking about the standalone that is listed on the Steam store for 19.99 rather than the mod version. It just doesn't sit right with me but that might just be because I haven't played it long enough to develop an appreciation. The game looks phenomenal and the sound is excellent but it doesn't play as well as I would want and many sections seemed unreasonably bullshit when in the original game is wasn't nearly as hair pulling.

>>384101131
Cool beans. Didn't mean anything by it. Just a habit when typing.

>>384061749
I believe every game has positive and negative aspects about it, and while I may disagree with them, everyones reason for liking or disliking a game is valid, since games are an incredibly subjective media

I really do but if you're looking for a good regular JRPG it won't fill that itch.
It's very love it or hate it and relies primarily on its characters and playing on your expectations to deliver laughs. It's a love it or hate it thing, so I'd say go for it. It's just that you can really feel how much a product of love it is.
You can imagine how Fox sat down and thought about what the player would try to do at any turn and put in a detail or Easter egg for it.
Maybe download the demo. If you like that, chances are you'll like the full game. Regardless of if you love it or hate it, the OST is recvonended listening, Toby Fox is a great songwriter.

I'm actually sort of jealous towards KH fans. They seem to have a franchise that they love to death, which is one less for me, because I've only seen people play the games and they look like the stupidest nonsense that I would most likely never get into.

>>384109065
Yes but the regular one was fun too. Not even just because of the game but because of the community that went full retard and decided that actually killing people in the game was a bannable offense. Was fun as fuck to break the rules.
Also today's games can still learn from that game's melee combat. Everything else so far seemed liked a step down to me

>>384084164
The enemies not being bullet sponges stuck out to me as well. It felt so good to not have just hordes of enemies converge on you with pixel perfect accuracy.

The higher difficulties just make the game more fair and realistic in my opinion.

I think Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 is the greatest game ever made.

Really enjoyed the last of us, probably because I rarely ever play new AAA games. But I still played it through three times. TLoU multiplayer before they added a bunch of weird shit was the best multiplayer experience I had had for years, too.

Cinematic games are a good medium
see: Yakuza, Metal Gear Solid

>>384103349

It s not a miracle of gaming and doesnt deserve the hype(or the hate) it had.
The story is correct but childish sometimes(especially the pacifist final boss interaction)
The characters are interesting and fun to encounter
The music is fantastic it s thé Best thing on the game, it made me save before thé boss just to listen to it again
The gameplay is pretty fun but not to hard except for 2 boss.
The graphics or the overworld is absolutly shit, the sprites during combat are fine


If its on sales buy it, or pirate it if you feel like it

This is wrong, anon. MGSV by itself was a great 3rd person stealth shooter but if you think it's worth its salt as an MGS, you are delusional. It's really not acceptable as a final MGS, but since it's not the actual finale of the story but just some irrelevant side story, I guess it doesn't ruin the series or anything.
MGS4 has its stupid flaws but that game was made with love to detail and that is what always made MGS special, not its gameplay.

Silent Hill 2, Dark Souls and Shadow of the Colossus are the only games I know of that I consider having plots that are above and beyond the call of duty in terms of what's needed for a videogame.

I consider a lot of plots good, but most just exist to have a game. Metroid Prime has a good, simple plot, to get Samus on a planet killing aliens, but it's no more important or deep than that. Those other three? Yeah. Those have good plots, that the game depends on and vice versa. Art, man.

>>384118297
i'd like to see you back up this claim.

>>384061749
Rockstar is one of the most overrated developers in the market. All of their games have mediocre gameplay at best, and the only interesting mechanic they've done is the escalating police mechanic. Red Dead Redemption and LA Nior would be better as linear games instead of open world ones, the only reason they stuck open world is because the bulk of Rockstars fans just want to do stupid shit in an open world setting. Prototype is also a much more fun game to dick around in than GTA, hell moded GTAV kind of resembles some shit in prototype.

Halo 2 sucks dick. If you're using the SMG then every gun fight is literally you spamming your gun and charging an enemy until you're within melee range. If you can't get to cover quickly and you have an SMG a sniper or a BR will beat you every single time regardless of how good you are. Sniper also dominates at close range due to the body shot melee combo being fairly easy to execute. The rocket launcher is also probably the most brain dead weapon ever in any fps. The balance was just horrid, and making guns ineffective at range is the worst way to balance a shooter.

The CoD games are alright, but if you enjoy team deathmatch for hundreds of hours then you are genuinley a retarded child. It's literally dice rolls the game mode, every objective mode is superior to it.

Monday Night Combat and SMNC are superior games to Overwatch and had more depth than OW. You got more abilities in SMNC and on top of those you'd also get customization and multiple grabs. The assassin in SMNC was brain dead as fuck though.

CS is a great shooter series with a ton of depth, and the only people who dislike how the recoil works are people who are too stupid to figure it out and can't git gud.

Hollow Knight is the best metroidvania I've ever played. Before that I played SotN, AoS, DoS, CotM, PoR, OoE, HoD and all of the 2D Metroids including AM2R. I think the game does everything right. The only great problem with the game is the occasional frame drop. Sad to see the threads are dying because of the shill meme. Can't wait for the dlcs.
>>384119176
>Rockstar is one of the most overrated developers in the market. All of their games have mediocre gameplay at best
100% agree. The gameplay ain't even bad, just mediocre, like you said. Also agree on LA Noire and RDR. I replayed Canis Canem Edit recently. I had fond memories of it, but goddamn the entire fucking game is so streamlined and you're constanlty told what to do in giant bold letters. The game thinks you're stupid. Also disappointingly easy final boss.
