Bloodborne was not innovative. It is neither boring nor bland.

I get up in the morning because I'm pretty sure I haven't consumed every piece of art in human history yet and people are putting out new work everyday.

it feels like people conflate ND calling out the haters (people who send death threats, complain about lesbian relationships, Abby's buffness, etc.) with them attacking people who just don't like the game.

like, there's nothing to suggest that ND criticized/attacked people for just not being into TLoU2, but now they're somehow using their characters who might belong to some marginalized group, or another, as some kinda shield for any kinda critique, whether it's valid or not.

smh @ at these conspiracies.

the people who are called out for being homophobic/transphobic, and so forth, are the ones who complain about the game being "woke", "SJW", and/or being full of "politics".

even though they're not views that I necessarily share, but there are a number of things you can criticize the game for without coming off as being bigoted - too long, too dark/bleak, walking simulator, boring, contrivances/coincidences, etc.

basically any criticism that you might throw at the game if basically everything about it was the same, but the main characters were male and straight.

No, I'm actually saying the facts don't care about my feelings or yours.

Deadly Premonition is an objectively bad video game that I like. Civilization IV is an objectively good game that I do not like.

There are objective qualities and subjective qualities.

Otherwise, you're saying the only difference between The Room and a Kubrick film is popular opinion.

The Last of Us 1 did nothing new and people like Angry Joe sang an entirely different tune.

Innovation basically died a long time ago and that's okay.

Everything has pretty much already been done before. Name a single critically acclaimed or UnfairRepresent-acclaimed piece of media of the past 15 years and I can guarantee you it wasn't innovative. Humanity was going to run out of ideas eventually. We've been making video games for 50+ years and writing stories for thousands.

You're still throwing around a lot of subjective words and framing things in a way to make it sound like truth. "Some people just like boring, awful shit and applaud whatever they are told to like, while others prefer to think and experience new things."

Just because I don't like something doesn't means it's bad. I can dislike something which is objectively good.

Why do games have to bring anything new to the table? TLOU2 was an improvement on the first games mechanics in every way and continues Naughty Dog's history of being among the best looking games on a console in a given year.

If FromSoft made 25 Bloodborne sequels with only graphical upgrades and new enemies/setting, I'd give all of them 10/10.

I think a story came out from a young woman about how AJ used his influence to creep on her and make her feel cornered and uncomfortable, but iirc, some people were saying that there were some issues with her story, and I don't know what happened after that

Isnt this guy a sexual predator

Here we go with UR saying opinions are subjective and then explaining to the class how his opinion is the correct one.

Yeah this is just pure arrogance.

New doesn't mean better
Advanced and complicated doesn't mean better.

CGI isn't better than hand-drawn animation because it's newer and more complicated.
Mo-Cap isn't better than drawn animation because it's newer and more complicated.

This is total nonsense.

And an absolutely pathetic attempt to bend over and claim TLOU2 is "Obectively good" and everyone who didn't agree with you is "Wrong" for not agreeing.

That's crazy

Especially considering I'd put money down now that there are a ton of films and games you would say are complete shit that on release were using new and advanced "techniques."

It's just so so so so God damn dumb and such a childish way to view the world and differing opinions. You need to open your mind more dude.

Gonna steal a Zero Puntuation quote here:

"There wasn't really much of a review here. From a purely objective standpoint, SSBB is actually quite a superb game, as you can tell from reading reviews."

I think you should look up the word "objective", because I don't think it means what you think it means. It's worth remembering that all reviews are subjective personal opinions, and if you personally enjoy the game then they shouldn't really get to you - unless of course there's a despicable little niggling doubt in the back of your mind, that maybe you're not having as much fun as you've convinced yourself you're having, which doesn't go away no matter how many times you try to slap it down with the wet flannel of weak excuses, like this one

My favorite game of all time is FFIX.

I'm not losing any sleep over the millions of people who didn't like it nor am going to call them wrong for disagreeing nor am I going to handwave the MANY problems and criticisms with the game.

It's not better than other games objectively because I like it and it's not better than the games of the 80s and 90s because it's newer. I just really liked it.

That's life dude. Different strokes.

objectively good game

with a highly controversial plot.

Controversial in the same way wearing a mask is controversial. Idiots who don't like it turning it into an actual "thing" instead of just not liking it and moving on.

There's another Joe? Does he just make friends with joes so he can be the angry one?

I laugh when people get dramatic and say stuff like, TLoU2 betrayed its characters, fans, etc., though - it's just a game, whether you like it or not; you're not always going to like the direction(s) a story takes, and that's fine, but some people feel personally attacked by it.

Damn was rooting for Ireland. Kind of odd that Northern and Republic share a team in Rugby but not in Football.

how many shitty skits and unedited stream clips did he use to pad this video out to an hour in length?

That feels about right. They've released multiple RE games since then

Haven't played most of these but there is no way TLoU deserves to be on that list, despite the overblown flaws and the whining about it

Resident Evil has never been bad outside of CV and Umbrella Corps

what is a Nemesis

No idea what you're talking about, or who Carlos is or Jill Valetine

No, but newer CGI techniques are objectively better

I actually liked wc3 reforged. I get how people that were still playing the old game would be put off by the changes but if all you wanted was the wc3 campaign with better graphics then reforged delivered.

I feel like most of the people raging against the game were kids that never played warcraft 3 in their lives.

Wrong. A more advanced technique is going to be better overall.

then suggest she use a pseudonym and to never meet her fans.

Wrong.

Wrong.

Where in the WORLD are you getting that from? He's talking about quality, not popularity.

No, actually it's like saying it uses more advanced filmmaking techniques, better acting, better writing, better themes, etc etc, and so it is objectively a better made movie.

The Shining is objectively a better film than Sharknado. You can prefer one to the other, but to abjectly disregard quality is just wrong. I hate when people act like art has to completley lack objectivity, it would make criticism meaningless.

Lol no there's not

It's an objectively bad opinion.

Didn't like the game? That's fine and completely understandable. Call it the second worst game of the year? Now you're a joke.

Comparing a full price game to a free game. Try again.

The cosmetics are completely optional, do not effect the gameplay in any way, and you get a shit ton of content absolutely free. There is no argument for them making the game bad that does not make you look and sound extremely entitled.

@UnfairRepresent this topic is for you bro

How triggered do you have to be to put TLOU2 as the literal second worst game of 2020?

Carry on.

In technical terms, its at the forefront of gaming. Visuals, sound design, facial animation, etc. Theres no denying that, regardless of your feelings on the story or gameplay or voice acting or whatever else.

Which is idiotic. The prices are ridiculous, but the game is free, and gives a ton of content for free, so they can charge as much as they want for skins and it won't be a reason to hate the game.

Valorant is free to play.

People are really upset about The Last of Us part 2. Havent personally played it yet but it really seems to be a love it or hate it affair.

I think Joe gets a bad rap because he hardly has any critical thinking and just follows the popular opinion on the internet.

Some of those artists make insane money.

Lmao @ putting tlou2 on a worst list. Regardless of how you feel about the story, its objectively a well made game

Angry Joe is like the videogame equivalent of Nostalgia Critic so no thanks lmao

I was going to ask what is wrong with Valorant

1. Hate you
2. Openly refuse to accept reality and believe whatever they want

You're saying their millitaries are weak?

Canada I think is true. Can't speak to Australia's military.
