Overwatch is a Fun game

there is nothing wrong with using a controller to play an fps

I think dark souls 3 is amazing. I like Gael way more than Artorias. I also like Midir more than Kalameet.

I like "walking sim" type games when they have a good story and interesting settings/environments like Gone Home and Firewatch (Ibad examples of these are Rapture and Dear Esther imo)

I like the mainline Pokemon games, and I never understood the hate for them.

I think that the 3D Sonic games (except for shit like 06 and Wii U's Boom) are superior to the 2D ones. To me, a game where you move forward quickly whilst being unable to see much of what's coming up is just uncomfortable. For all the flaws of the 3D games, I find them much more enjoyable. Funnily enough, Generations is my favourite Sonic despite ~50% being 2D.

I don't like triple A games at all. I'm literally going to sell my PS4 because I can't find anything fun to play on it, meanwhile I have a blast on my 3ds.

>>387183646
like, I like the art enough (despite the blinding colors in fullscreen mode) but the combat was just run of the mill. And the whole themes of discrimination and war has been done before a lot better I feel.

I also cant stand the kid's swole upper body. Looks goofy.

Just tired of seeing Bastion >>>> Transistor in every thread that mentions one of the two when at least Transistor tackled more complicated themes and tried to have unique combat mechanics.

I liked Undertale and knew about it since the demo, but the popularity it got and cancerous fanbase make me not like to admit it in public

Dark Souls is not fucking hard by any means and the only reason retards act/meme like it is is because of the ad campaign they had for the PC version of DS1. If it weren't for that, there would be no "HARDEST GAME OF THE CENTURY :P PREPARE 2 DIE LOL" bullshit. 2nd game, overhated. 3rd game, overrated. neither are good though. only Souls games worth playing are DeS, DS1 and Bloodborne.

I like Let's Plays because I enjoy their commentary and it's good background noise for when I'm doing work.

Modded Skyrim is one of the best games ever.

Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are two of the best Pokemon games in terms of content and shit to do. Loss of the Battle Frontier was understandably disappointing, but all of the new and expanded features more than made up for it. It also best captures the ideology of "gotta catch em all" with the DexNav feature, and it's a literal fucking crime that they didn't include it again in S/M.

SMT Nocturne is not as good as SMT 4, SMT 4:A, or Persona 5. The level design, random encounters, and especially the fusion system make it an absolute fucking chore to play. The atmosphere is top notch though and I would love to see a remake with SMT 4 style enemy encounters and fusion.

Dark Souls 3 is complete ass, nothing about it is good and everything in it has already been done before in the series but better. It's the worst Souls game, at least DaS 2 did new things.

>>387186086

Granted, I was born in '92, so I don't have much room to talk. Although I don't think I was really "young" when I played Sonic '06 either. (I might not have played it until a year or two after release).

>>387187124
I would hardly call it "great" but I agree that it's good. It's popular because it is the only game in existence to offer a world of it's scale and detail while also being extremely accessible. Skyrim is in a weird position where normalfags praise it way too much but /v/ shits on it way too much, it has the exact same ratio of weaknesses and strengths as every other game in the series post-morrowind.

Miyazaki sucks. The only thing that made Souls unique was the online gameplay. Most of the gameplay or atmosphere style quirks Souls has exists in other From Soft games which he had no part of.

>>387187252
The three day system and real time schedule, while making for fun sidequests, far too often divides missions from exploration. I found myself seeing something I wanted to explore, then choosing not to, since I was on a time table and didn't want to start over. So I would ignore places of interest and tell myself I would just have to remember to come back later, when I am not busy. And that just does not feel good in a Zelda game.

>>387186813
I used to hate JRPGs too, and I still generally do but I've gotten really into SMT and Xenoblade.

>>387187425
1. recently? from this year I would say Nioh and P5 fit the bill real well. I also enjoyed several PS3 JRPGs like Ni No Kuni, the first Nier, White Knight Chronicles, etc. the best JRPG ever made in my opinion is Chrono Trigger but I really like the BoF games and early FF as well.

most JRPGs now just have too much fluff, and fluff that's uninteresting at that.

2. it was just a bit fresh, I hadn't played something like it in a while and its style kinda gave me bioshock vibes (but not to the point of a ripoff like some fags claim). it was pretty fun but I'm not really interested in trying the sequel.

>>387187662
I don't really hate them, I just think a lot of meh ones get massive praise just because they're a JRPG and not much else. SMT is fucking fantastic the new Persona is getting the praise it deserves, though, so it's not like the meh ones take a spotlight away from the really good ones.

>>387187789

Whenever a thread gets going about how much someone loves a game/genre, it's nice to see how positive a lot of people get.

Gets me into a lot of series actually, like persona

I like weebshit and cute anime girls. Like, a lot. I will support anything with anime girls just because I love them so much, and I'll deride Western AAA games as being "bland" and "generic", even though it's totally hypocritical and most anime shows and anime games are just as generic. I'm biased and I don't care.

I'm not opposed to pretentious indie art games on principal like a lot of /v/ is, but a lot of them end up sucking anyway. There's definitely a lot of cool, weird games to be made that eschew traditional notions of "fun", but it takes a skilled hand to make them, and a lot of indie developers are just bandwagon posers who don't have the talent and the drive to make something that's both original and good.

>>387183898
Mostly agreed, but the best Sonic game was actually the daytime half of Sonic Unleashed.

Platinum Games are unbelievably fucking overrated and the only really good games they've made recently are MGR and the Bayonetta games.

TellTale has only made one good game in its history and its name is A Wolf Among Us. I would give the first Poker Night and the Sam & Max games a pass too, though. they're alright. everything else is fucking terrible garbage.

The industry is shit and deserves to crash.

Industries are for making money and video game industries are probably the most abusive aside from literal drugs. Countries like Korea and China are borderline enslaved to shit games with awful money making schemes. The next generation of video games are just going to emulate that because of phone games.

Wildstar is actually a decent game ran into the ground by absolutely inept marketing and foolish upper level choices.

What's this god damn obsession with any new MMO trying to usurp WoW? It's as if having a piece of the MMO pie isn't enough on its own, they have to have the massive slice that WoW has.

It runs so many games with so much potential into the fucking ground.

you're retarded. Plenty of good games still being made, whether or not they all fit your taste is no reason to throw a shitfit.

The reason I use PC instead of a console is so I can emulate, but with the surge of nu-PC gaymurs (mostly wealthier kids who just want to play their fps games with muh grafix), I'm considering not upgrading my PC anymore and just getting a console for my primary system

I'm not saying there shouldn't be a statute of limitations or anything, but platform exclusives fool people into believing consoles are good. You want a good console, you want to sell it so that people will make games for your machine, but don't hold those games exclusive. This is why the PlayStation was brilliant, the most popular game from it, FFVII, was released on PC a year later, but the console did well anyway through all that time. I'm not implying that multi-platforms (especially not simultaneous releases) should be the rule, but trying to create exclusives to delude the masses into thinking a console is "good" is ludicrous (Nintendo is guilty of this, I think).

If you think pic related was a major factor of the North American console market crash (let's be specific here) you're missing several other bigger factors.

It won't work because of two reasons: the big companies you want to die (Activision, EA) will be the survivors (it will be the smaller guys wiped out), and there is no obscure console maker from the other side of the planet to bring you amazing games you'd never heard of.

Admit it. That's what anyone wanting "muh crash" REALLY wants.

reggie was right

>>387188880

Atari was largely responsible for the industry crash in the 80's, and it was mostly due to a massive oversaturation of games. Exclusives happen because execs want to sell their consoles, and because they want something unique they allow developers to take risks they otherwise wouldn't. Demon's Souls, Knack, every Nintendo IP, Halo, and many other franchises would not exist if exclusivity were not a thing. You're retarded, and you have no idea what you're talking about.

Points to Transistor for trying to do something new, but the combat system felt very unsatisfying in practice, and the story and pacing fell to shit at the end, without a cool NG+ twist like Bastion pulled.

The upgrade system for skills is one of the coolest implementations I've ever seen, but the weird mix of turn-based and real-time that never seems to work well in either field makes the game feel like shit on even the highest level of play.

Bastion is ultimately the better game just because it did what it did well, whereas Transistor tried something new and failed to do it nearly as well.

>>387188979
The ending is legit piss but I wouldn't have been upset if the game ended in a similar way with us not ever getting to the family, but getting closer as he hunts for them. The game to me really felt like we're just seeing a slice of life in one of this guy's many adventures (it's stated very early in the game that it took him like, a year just to get to the city).

Plus I really dig the atmosphere and general mechanics, even if they could be very repetitive at points. Narrowly avoiding death with climbing skills, figuring out how to best take down a group of people just using an ever increasing set of weapons with low ammo and fear tactics, and seeing the various strange side stories, it all really won me over.

>>387188964
I think a crash would be awesome actually. Reduce budgets and development times, make gaming more like it was in 4th and 5th gen, when games were big enough to be polished, quality products, but not so big that they were basically Hollywood blockbusters that pandered to normies.

Twilight Princess is a good Zelda game and is better than Wind Waker. I'll only concede that the wolf stuff is meh.

There is no game that /v/ views with more rose-tinted nostalgia goggles than Demon's Souls. It is unbelievably short, has a tiny amount of content (especially weapons and armor), has mostly shit bossfights, and some terrible design choices like limited inventory and world tendency. Every single thing in the game was improved on in Dark Souls and then Bloodborne, and as a whole, objective package every other game in the series blows it out of the water.

I didn't like divinity original sin: the pacing felt off, the story was shit, the characters were shittier, the humor felt like a poor imitation of monty python, and the gameplay was fun at first but got brain-numbingly boring towards the end

Silent Hill 1 is the best in the SH series.

TF2 is still the most-enjoyable online shooter out there, half-thanks to the modding/mapping communities.

A L4D3 with 10-times the firearm/melee arsenal size, difficult-but-possible loneman abilities against enemy-grabbing and a DayZ sandbox mode ((done right)) would be the best thing to happen to zombie shooters since Resident Evil 2. By the way, RE6 was a fun mess..

Hollow Knight saved the Metroidvania genre and I hope it keeps going strong.

Chivalry is good fun if you aren't seeking Bannerlord-sized fights and I'm looking forward to Mordhau.

FF9 deserves a remake as much as FF7, and the series got progressively faggier and stupid from FF10-onwards. Also Squall is best-looking FF protag, shame he's an asshat.

PSVita-tier weebshit FF1-clones and mobileshit gachas are as cancerous as Western AAA cinematic experiences, early-access Minecraft clones and social justice virtue-signaling.

>>387189983

The reason it crashed was because people were making way more games than they had any right to, and there were far too many consoles on the market. They made so many fucking ET carts they had to be buried in the desert to dispose of them.

>>387190031
>FF9 deserves a remake as much as FF7
I don't really like remakes, but a remake for FF9 could maybe make some adjustments to the combat to make it not bad.

The industry isn't an all-encompassing godbody that determines what every random person who wants to make a video game makes.

The industry are the conditions that control what games actually get made and making money.

During the preNES days, the industry was releasing any kind of trash or clone game and reap profits with no quality control.

Right now, they believe that getting people addicted on skinner boxes is the best way to get cash.

People that either hate themselves or their lives and want to come here and pretend vidya is the problem need serious help.

There is literally nothing wrong with video games being unrealistic as long as it's enjoyable.

it's the same formula as OoT but updated in a fashion that makes it new with an interesting story, setting and cast of characters. it also had the all-time best Ganon. it's only major flaw is that it was just too easy sometimes, but the other Zelda games aren't exactly hard.

>>387190157

Getting people addicted to skinner boxes very clearly is the way to make money. That doesn't matter though, because you can very easily ignore them and buy and play the games you enjoy. A crash would only ensure that the kinds of games that you enjoy would be much harder, because then only the biggest money making games would be produced because they are safe.

Even Super Mario World?

Consoles can still be viable, but their execution needs to be better.

Nier Automata was mediocre at best with bland story and the hack n slash gameplay you come to expect from Platinum with its soundtrack being the best thing about it. It only gets praise because the usual "Platinum can do no wrong" and "muh Toobie"

Persona 3 was probably the most ambitious of the Persona games but was held back by either Atlus being cheap or some sort of PS2 hardware limitation

All the Pokemon remakes aside from FR/LG suck ass because they don't get EXP scaling right. FR/LG get a pass because Gen I was such a damn mess that anything would be an improvement, and that's before the Sevii Islands and other crap

H1Z1 is better than PUBG.

I feel that I am the only person in the world who thinks this.

Consoles or at least physical releases are holding back the medium as a whole but devs have to learn how to compress their shit.

That's where the "statute of limitations" comes in, and that's where the FFVII example works. Looking at the Nintendo Switch, if [BOTW/Mario Odyssey/whatever else] came out on PC, hell, even PS4, came at least a year after the Switch version, and Nintendo Switch sales don't shrivel up then the Switch is a good console, especially if they, like PlayStation, can prove it's worth it.

If you seriously think that holding games permanently hostage to buy a certain brand of content delivery box (this goes for ANY platform, I'm not just picking on Nintendo) should be acceptable, then you are part of the problem.

>they allow developers to take risks they otherwise wouldn't
then lists franchises that were either manufactured to be risk-free and sell consoles, or games that were deliberately held hostage by publishers (like Halo). But even Halo isn't a good example otherwise, because Halo WAS later released on computers.

But whatever, this is "unpopular opinions", and you have proved why I put it there to begin with.

There's nothing wrong with representation in games, as long as the character is written well.

The fact that they can play Netflix or stream movies isn't the problem.

The problem is that this gen Sony and MS phoned it in by making consoles with specs that were fairly dated even by the standards of the year they released. So now they have their souped "refresh" on top of the usual console slimming redesign. However this is a moot point because even if the Xbox One X is stronger, third parties will just bog it down to work on PS4 Pro to the point where there's parity between multiplats. That or they just won't bother adding support for either. Not to mention that MS and Sony have said they expect most of their sales to come from PS4 Slim and Xbox One S anyway.

This is such a stupid notion that I don't even know how you can think it. It's so completely retarded that I can't believe any rational being would hold that thought.

Console don't need to be "good" by whatever arbitrary definition you have, they simply need to meet consumer demands. Switch is a fantastic console as evidenced by it selling out everywhere immediately even without the games to incentivize it. PS4 is a fantastic console because it does exactly what it says on the tin at a fraction of the cost of PC and also with more convenience than PC.

There are no franchises that were created to be risk free and also sell consoles. They either create a new franchise to draw attention at the risk of poor sales, or create a multiplatform franchise with massive sales expectations that doesn't take too many risks in it's design (Watch Dogs).

Exclusives have been nothing but a boon to the industry, no matter how stupid you may be and how poorly thought out your opinion is.

>>387190964

I agreed with you for almost all of Transistor, but for some reason during the last one and a half hours of playing it, something changed and my opinions completely reversed. I honestly have no idea what it was that made me change my mind, but I definitely did and now Transistor is one of my all time favorites.

Yes, by /v/ standards.

Dark Souls is a really hard game. It's also one of the best game series ever made and should be used as a model for every single game possible for both its incredible gameplay and story.

Half Life 2 was amongst one of the best games created in regards to original concepts and execution, and a hit in regards to story. When I played it in 2004, I thought it was amazing. It's a bit dated today, but neverless, a real classic. Hl2 certainly takes me back to when Valve was a better company.

Mech games were never very big, and died because of a lack of interest in the genre despite multiple attempts to bring it back, even in p2w form (HAWKEN). RTS still has games being made, though they are not very popular because they are far too derivative of past games and also because the genre has basically already seen perfection. Arcade Vehicle games are still being made, you just need to look harder for them. (Project Nimbus may be something that fits both your mech and arcade vehicle itch, same with Strike Suit Zero.)

Sucks that several of your favorite genre's are dead though. It's not really the fault of the industry as a whole, more just a lack of interest in those kinds of games, which means a vidya crash wouldn't bring them back.

I'm quite excited for Metroid Samus Returns and Prime 4 and will likely be purchasing both at the soonest opportunity.

Runescape 3 is the best it's ever been and OSRS is literal autism pandering because autists HATE change.

>>387192248
>during the last one and a half hours of playing it
I don't see how.
The last hour of Transistor was fighting the same Man process over and over in featureless white zone until the cool final boss fight.

If anything, the NG+ made me appreciate the game's combat more, but not enough to put it over Bastion, which was simple but serviceable.

>>387189353
Agreed, I went in with way too high of expectations and was disappointed as a result. It's a shame, really, since it was still a great game, easily 7.5 - 8 / 10 imo. I still do like it more than DS2 and 3, if only because it's more original and unique without having the expectations one has for a sequel weighing it down

I would say that it is an unpopular opinion on this board to say it's one of the greatest games ever made.

Pokemon Black and White were leagues ahead of Black and White 2. No pokemon game should release with under a hundred fifty pokemon and no pokemon game should include pokemon from prior regions before endgame. If you cannot do better than the original you should not make a sequel at all.

Respectable points. 2 had probably the deepest story out of the bunch thanks to it being entirely personal to James, and 3 had my favorite visual/monster designs and soundtrack.

1 being what set the mystery, game-design, progression and overall tone of fear put it to the top of the series for me. A REmake-equivalent done correctly would be among my vidya wet dreams.

REmake is better than Resident Evil 4.

>>387192229
Yeah, they are one of the only Mystery Dungeons that try to make you do the postgame (friend zones). Super tried, but it was boring to do

Breath of the Wild is a 7/10 at best. Horrible dungeons and bosses. Combat is alright but flurry rush makes every fight easy as shit. Almost no enemy variety. Exploration is cool but that's about it.

Skyward Sword is my favorite Zelda game

Your right about putting DeS above anything. Including DaS 2 on a list of Soulsborne games is an insult to the series; but I prefer to be objective.

Bloodborne is really good, but Dark Souls 3 is better.

>>387192418
It's a game you can only like if you were a kid by the time the n64 arrived.
Early 3d games that rely on movement and camera like ocarina are complete garbage.
It is actually in a unique position in that it will forever be garbage in the eyes of those without nostalgia goggles, unlike 3D games that came out a few years later and the 2d games that came out earlier.

>>387191662
I read a lot of comics. Comics have always had forced diversity. The problem recently is Marvel is trying to revamp everything for the cinematic universe audience, but is refusing to pay writers or give them any leeway.
DC is doing fine. They just made a latina woman the newest GL, and it's great.

An for BF1 and CoDWW2, it in no way affects the quality of the gameplay itself. In WW2, they've even said they've kept swastikas in the campaign, but removed Nazis and allow customization for the multiplayer because they don't want anyone to feel encouraged/discouraged when they play as the Nazis. It doesn't affect the multiplayer at all.

Most of the reason those games are dead is because you can't be a lazy, cheap cunt when you make them.

Artifact is going to be a good game.

Mega Man 3 is the best Classic Mega Man game.

With the right developer and the right mechanics, the side-scrolling Beat Em Up genre could live again.

Turn-based combat is a legit style of game design and not an outdated relic based soley on hardware limitations.

Slippy is not that annoying.

Chrono Cross' combat was a beautiful mess and it is a shame no one has tried to build upon and improve it.

VR technology, as we understand it today, is never going to become big enough to be the next big innovation for Video Games.

We need a sequel to Ski Resort Tycoon.

Bikini armor is the apex of RPG gameplay.

>>387193107

>you can't be lazy and cheap

Sure you can, because for a mech game, there's very little distinguishing it from a standard FPS other than slightly more guns and weapon options, and more weight and momentum in movement. The genre's you like died simply because there wasn't enough interest to keep getting them made for a profit. Even in the heyday of those genre's it's pretty apparent that they were niche at best.

Traditional video games do all the same things this Gatcha ones do. How much do you think people spend on traditional games in their lifetime? In fact, stop playing video games altogether. In fact in fact, stop having any hobbies. Trying to make money off people with addictive tendencies how all video games are literally designed, not mobile games. Better than spending money on cancersticks. I've spent less on this game than I do on a weeks supply of cigarettes and it sure as hell is more fun

I used to be pretty anti-mobile games, but I had to try Dokkan just because it was DBZ. Now from what I understand they all pretty much follow the same general formula, but this specific game is very viable for non-paying people. Especially now. Of course it can get tedious and some of the best rewards take a shit load of grinding(which I abstain from) but it's a fun game overall and really deep, I can imagine it's super overwhelming for first timers to learn everything. And it's DBZ. I love the idea of getting characters that usually represent their actual strength level in the show.

I've seen people sell accounts for 100s of dollars too, so you can actually make money off it

>>387193093
the NG+ for Bastion and Transistor really only exist as a "Hard Mode", and don't really add any new content besides allowing you to turn on all of the gods/limiters, and experimenting more with different upgrades.

I dunno why anyone would like the ending to Transistor, especially in comparison to Bastion.

It just doesn't make sense to me, why would she even fight Royce to get out of the Transistor if she was just going to hop back in, at least Royce would have tidied up the ruins a bit and made a NEET cave

I thought NG+ and getting all the extra background details would make the ending more clear, but all it did was make it more vague, the worldbuilding did nothing to answer any question really, beyond "lol it's just a virtual city"

>>387193347
Do the other ones really feel the same as hearthstone?
Hearthstone looks so different from the rest, or do you mean you're sick of the others since hearthstone?

Microsoft is smart to be putting all their first party efforts on PC as well even if it renders the Xbox product line somewhat redundant. They technically have three options now the S (entry), X (mid), and PC (high) which can't be said for Playstation

>>387193359
if an open world was ever done well it would be better than a hub. publishers just aren't insane enough to do it.

like what if star citizen was actually everything that chris roberts said it would be. that would be a pretty fucking great game but the time investment would be insane.

Nah, I think part 4 had way better fights and stands throughout it and I think is the best in the series when it comes to them, I mean, Killer Queen alone would probably raise the overall stand quality for part 4 to above average but I liked most of the stands part 4 had to offer. Not to mention that part 4 has a great sense of atmosphere with fun characters that we get to see just goofing around in their downtime.

Part 8 has had some good stands, but I think that both Soft and Wet and Paisley Park are just too broad in terms of their ability that they can really do anything and it'll just be another "Oh I guess they can do that" instead of using stands in creative ways that part 4 was full of, I felt the same way for Golden Experience in that it could do just about anything with no clear limitations, in fact, part 8 would probably be better if Josuke had Nut King Cole as his stand. I've enjoyed a lot of the fights so far, but I also think some of the fights were kind of hard to follow between panels, but maybe I'm retarded. I think the overall story is better and more interesting with more twists and turns, so I'm hoping that a big twist will come out that'll really win me over.

I honestly can't understand what anyone sees in Bioshock, I really can't. The art style doesn't appeal to me, the story completely and totally failed to grab me, and the combat seemed mediocre, I played 3 hours of it and couldn't force myself to play more.

2D is just drawn art and has existed as erotica forever. Hentai specifically is a bit less acceptable though, just since it's associated with children by normalfags, just like porn drawn in a disney style would be.

Well, you can always check out the two games I suggested. One is early access though, just to let you know.

Buying the games for a console that you "want" instead of buying a console for the games that you want is the dumbest shit ever. "Console wars" are rigged so the companies can basically flip each other off while only their customers lose out. If you got a PS4 JUST for Bloodborne then you are encouraging Sony to be shit with their IPs as they can clearly get away with it, they just need to wait for a gem to pop out from all of the trash they had collected. I'm not a Xbone fanboy or w/e, just a good example. All sides have their idiots.

Nintendo make great games but as a company they are shit. That alone is a reason to never support Nintendo with their stupid ass shit that you clearly don't need. Join Club Nintendo or w/e if you really want the junk but don't be a literal fanboy of such a shit company that can't get with the times. Likewise though they have every right to stop fan game projects when the people could had been not lazy and use original content while being inspired by something instead of outright stealing. When your game is a literal rom HACK then of course expect issues. Nintendo waiting til they are often completed to do anything is nevertheless still a dick move though.

Pirating "debates" are stupid (more so on /v/) as they always make the wrong comparisons. Libraries already exist and yet people still buy their own damn copy. If demos were a thing then there would be no reason to pirate most of the time. People will still do it of course but there would be no reason to, that is the point. Companies are literally giving legit buyers an excuse to pirate before they buy by lacking anyway to test it beforehand.

If you can complete a game in two hours then it wasn't a game and deserve to be refundable. Fighting games are no exceptions, play Melty Blood for a real fighting game that will forever change your mindset though a warning: all other fighting games will forever seem like lazy piles of shit from then on.

I can definitely see your points anon and for the most part I agree. I like Soft & Wet as a stand, and even though its solutions can be bullshitty at times, the creative possibilities of its power makes for some cool fights.

Not to mention the art is fucking beautiful. Part 4 doesn't look bad, but Part 7 and onwards Araki has done some fucking astonishing work with his panels.
