I really think it's not that great. It's kinda just smash 4 plus more people and slightly better grahpics

you just described the 2nd best game to come out in ~3 decades

Smash 4 was bad though

My personal games of the decade so far have been Civilizations 5 and 6, Terraria, and Stardew Valley. Honorable mention to Minecraft, the Smash series, and the Pokmon series for taking up huge amounts of my gaming time this decade.

As for why you're not big on Smash Ultimate, SND, it seems like you appreciate games that become truly big by pushing the envelope in some way, particularly when it comes to gaming as a whole. In my opinion at least, Smash Ultimate is this decade's apex of iterative gaming, but I don't think the iterative approach is something that sticks with you. I would hypothesize that if the next Smash game took a radically different and innovative approach to its general premise, even with mixed execution, you would appreciate that more than you do Smash Ultimate. I'm not trying to judge by saying those things - everyone has different opinions and preferences and those disagreements make the world go round, so to speak. That being said, would all that be accurate about your gaming opinions, or am I totally off the mark?

It was fun. But it was also bad. Like dynasty warrior games.

I dread what kind of game LoL ends up getting fed to in order to appease the board. Hopefully SBAllen is smart and has it and Undertale fight each other in round 1.

I am hyped to seeing it being tripled by Super Mario Maker.

For better or worse, it introduced the idea of "toxic behavior" and "reported", two issues that went beyond video games as social issues during the decade. The idea of online bullying and censorship...those ideas were given a prime example through the medium of League.

No it didn't, toxic players have existed ever since someone thought of connecting a videogame to the internet. LoL just made it worse.

It also introduced the idea of games constantly updating through patches. The game is truly never complete, and actually evolves with the times. That concept came about thanks to League. I mean, it wasn't the first ever game with a patch, but it certainly was the most influential one.(you could argue for Wow)

It's like you are just listing things that made gaming worse overall.

Incomplete games are a garbage thing that exists to make money for greedy studios.

Also, since your username is Tales-related(Vesperia), no consideration of any of the Tales... games?

There was a lot during the decade...

Graces F(2010)
Xillia(2013)
Xillia 2(2014)
Zestiria(2015)
Berseria(2016)

I would definitely nominate Berseria because it has one of the best stories I've seen in gaming.

Though the gameplay is a boring slog sometimes.

Yes. Its decent, but too similar to smash 4. I remember when smash 4 came out, holiday season 2014. They were giving it the same accolades, same praise, normal people were playing it at holiday parties during 2014 holiday season.

Like 6 months later people those same people were not playing it. They moved on.

I'm not saying the same thing will happen with ultimate. It does seem likely to me though.

Yes metal that's a great way to explain how I feel about smash ultimate. Its incrementally better than the previous smash games. It is no revolution. That's just not good enough in late 2018, we are too jaded at this point.

You can basically know what smash ultimate(and video games in general) is like without even playing them in 2018. Thanks to trailers, streamers, let's players, and social media.

Also, civ 5 i played a lot! I think it's a good game but i wouldn't put it in my top 50 for game of the 2010s.

I loved the idea of one unit per tile

Like, I am facinated as to why you chose CS:S over 1.6 or GO.

I think source was the best version of the game.

I'd be down for putting Go on the game of the decade list though. Ahead of smash ultimate.

Also COD4 and modern warfare, both of those games I would still put above smash ultimate at this point.

Will you guys be playing smash ultimate in 6 months?

Maybe. Of course people are hyped for it now, and I really did try to like it. I've played it for about 6 hours total. It was.... a surprise to me how bored I was.

This is coming from someone who loves the original smash, likes Melee(armada and hungry box ftw), and even liked smash 4 when it first came out.(those 8 way smashes were really fun at first)
---

SuperNiceDog posted...

I'm pretty confident I will be. Also, watching a game being played will pretty much never be the same as actually playing it, regardless of just watching a game granting that sense of discovery.

you might be right. In these topics I seem to always go off on perceived "rants", that I'm looking to hate a game just to be a hater.

Did you think Civ 6 was good? I didn't like it, thought it was too confusing and slow. Civ 5(and 4) were better to me

sorry none of these games are better than smash (plenty of those suck even, geez)

i mean melee was already contender for top 3 game of all time and ultimate is finally a smash game i can confidently say is better than melee. smash 4 was close but I just couldn't commit to saying for sure I prefer 4 over melee, but ultimate pushes it over that edge of uncertainty!

i was playing smash 4 up through this year and I like ultimate more so yes seems like a pretty safe bet

can't wait to crush some b8ers at anime north in may ohyes

I mean if you actually played the game and can't tell, you must be like, gameplay blind or some shit.

I'll let appearance slide(even though that is also untrue), but they play pretty fucking different. Like if you think ultimate and 4 play the same, then you must think all smash bros play the exact same. Which is laughable.

I might have forgotten how Smash 4 plays, I haven't played it since 2015. But I do vaguely remember how it plays.

This is a direct comparison of Smash 4 vs ultimate in terms of looks:



"Improved anti-aliasing and visual-texturing to his hat and clothing. Lighting effects. Colors more vibrant. New animations and taunts. Minor adjustments to moveset"



"DK looks worse in the brand new Switch version. Went with a flat texture."



To me this looks very similar. But in the video, it says the "environments look dramatically different"

"The inclusion of shadows has complety changed this background object."



"This Xenoblade stage looks noticeably worse"

"It's insanely difficult to track what's going on in these games"

Here's a link to the full video:

Maybe it will change(or re-validate your opinions of Smash Ultimate.

Are you trying to use that video to prove they look the same...?

yea. I think they look marginally better but similar overall

The thing with League of Legends is that yeah, you can get super addicted, but how many of those hours are actually fun?

I've been there. In LoL, you play to either:

a) Get to Gold and beyond, or just look at your match history and feel good.

If you lose, you try to make up for it and then win at least not 1, but 2 matches to get a net positive and climb a little higher. That's of course until you lose again and you're back to the start. Apply tenfold if you're making up for a losing streak. After the dust settles, it just happened that you've played dozens of hours.

If you win, you play again, because, you're on a roll right?

b) Have that one match.

It's awesome when you have a match where everything feels right. Your team wins, you're the MVP, everything just clicked. But there are also awful matches, where your own team trolls, everyone is looking who to blame for, or your lane just sucked. This match sucked, maybe the next one will be IT?

Id have to say either Persona 5 or Super Mario Odyssey.
