I mean, some games legitimately ARE clunky.

how about
>"It was good for it's time"
>[e-celeb] said [positive things] about [the game]
If the game gets praised for having a "diverse cast of characters"
translation: this game beats you over the head with virtue signaling

If a game includes only whites, then it's virtue signalling too, just to white conservatives.
>comfy
>>386176864
you come up with another word besides awkward to describe melee combat in the dark engine
>>386178254
I'm not talking about the games though, I'm talking about opinions.
If somebody praises a game because it's "diverse" rather than because it's good, their opinion is shit.
>>386178254
This is bait
>>386178254
If a game includes only whites then it might be good.

Unfortunately, even though the rest of what you said is correct these 3 alone discredit everything you said. Stop following trends faggot (inb4 you assume that's ironic).
>>386176864
>shill

>>386177139

Go try some lesser known 3d games on the ps1 or n64 and not just the cream of the crop.
>artificial difficulty
Literally arcade.
"janky physics"
>ludonarrative dissonance
I could count the times I've heard this used correctly on one hand

Hey anon:Games like EWJ 3D and Bomberman Hero were always shit, they didn't just magically turn shit overtime.
>>386178254
God forbid media reflect the demographics of its consumer audience.
>>386181558
Do you only play games you can self-insert into?
>>386177672
Can someone explain what the fuck virtue signaling is, you people like to throw that word around like it's candy yet I still don't have a clue what it actually means.

Doing/saying something you don't necessarily feel strongly about for brownie points with your audience.

It's simple. Do whatever is the currently seen for a certain audience as a good thing and show it.
>>386178254
These threads are always bad and invariably made by people super butthurt about losing an internet fight inside the past hour.

It isn't bait fags. It's flipping the the argument on it's head. Any schmuck can (and does) argue that X character trait they don't like is "virtue signaling". If you can't definitively prove a dev had a political motivation behind designing certain characters in certain ways, fuck off.
>IT'S TOO EMPTY
>>386182534
Entitled brat is actually a great way to describe people who think games age.
>>386176864
Calling something cinematic. It automatically means they didn't play it.
Also, calling something a clone. Obviously games in the same genre will have similar mechanics, so referring to games as clones is the quickest way for me to ignore an opinion.
>>386181889
>Can someone explain what the fuck virtue signaling is
It's when you signal your virtues.
Basically, it's when you loudly proclaim something that everybody already thinks for easy praise.
For example
>write a character that's blatantly a one-dimensional racist
>let the player kick his ass while delivering quippy one liners.
It basically screams to the world
GUYS LOOK AT ME!! LOOK AT HOW NOT RACIST I AM!! PLEASE NOTICE ME FOR BEING SUCH A GREAT NOT-RACIST!!
That's a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the idea.
>>386176864
Anything political
>it's like the Dark Souls of...
>>386177672
>virtue signaling
My favorite meme word!
>>386181558
>all gamers are white guys
It's cute that mid westerners believe this. Vidya isn't a "white guys" hobby, m8.
>>386181889
Basically it's a sociopaths belief that no one actually has empathy or cares about others, so the only reason they could be acting good or have an opinion that does not directly benefit them is because they are trying to fool others into liking them. It's an incredibly cynical and disturbed view of the world desu.
>>386183170
Is cute that SEAcreatures think their oppinions matter.
>it's bad because of the graphics
Without fail, this individual is a shitter.
>>386183049
Well like I said, it's retarded self-congratulatory bullshit when you advertise yourself as being a great person because you think what everybody already thinks.
Virtue signalling is basically the millennial version of those stupid pictures that your mom posts all over facebook.

Not him, but that's basically just a new way of saying "sanctimony". Except I guess there's less implication of sucking up to religious beliefs and more of sucking up to social justice.

are you saying tank controls aren't clunky?
