I kind of agree but I still loved New Leaf and I'm hyped for New Horizons. Wild World was the best game.

Souls games have bad clunky combat that people force themselves to like.

The Witcher 3 had great combat (no idea why this is controversial but it seems to be)

Stealth sucks

Have you played dark souls 3 or metal gear solid 5?

It's impossible for a sports title to be good without standard features like create a player or create a team.

Madden sucks because you can't create teams, and I refuse to play it anymore because of that.

Games should only have narratives through the gameplay, Fuck cutscenes.
A lot of games did this--and did it very well--before MGS1.

Now MGS1 is one of my favorite games ever but I hate how it largely killed traditional video game storytelling. It should have become one style instead of the default style.

I meant story. All the bullshit about it being a metaphor for games and how there not being choices was somehow a deconstruction of choices in games.

-Some more.

First person stinks. Games like the Outer Words and the (I'm Guessing) Cyber Punk would be better in 3rd person. You spent time making a character just not see them.

Wind Waker is a horrible game. The cutey art art does not go with with the epic feel that they were going for.

Breath of the Wild is overrated. It is sub par Wild game with a bad open world. And the weapon breaking stuff is bullshit. I find a neat sword, but then I can't use it because if do it will break in ten blows.

While I love Link's awakening, he is the bad guy in the game. Oddly the cutey stuff works in that game for me.

Fire Emblem is the hardest series ever made. They're fun as hell until the tutorial ends and they turn into endless resets.

Battle Network is easily the worst Mega Man series.

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga was abysmal.

Super Mario Bros is one of the hardest games on the NES.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for NES really wasn't that hard, and the dam level was actually pretty easy.

Zelda 1 is an abomination, and OoT isn't much better. Adventure of Link was actually pretty legit.

Ace Combat 5, Top Gear and Rescue the Embassy Mission are by far the most underrated games ever.

FF7 looks fine graphically.

There are many games that are way harder than F-Zero GX.

F-Zero, Kirby and Metroid are the best Nintendo series.

Pokemon is and has always been designed as a total scam.

1 is the best MGS and 3 is the worst (still a great game though)

Arkham Origins and Ass Creed 3 were great games despite a few minor issues.

3D Land is the best Mario platformer, and the only playable 3D one.

Crash >> Mario

3D Sonic games are usually fun as hell, and the 2D ones were mostly straight-up garbage.

The average modern video game is at least 70% useless filler by playtime and it pisses me off.

Not every game needs loads of RPG mechanics.

We would do well to respecialize video game machines. We don't need to have youtube and facebook and netflix on everything that hooks up to a screeen, and we definitely don't need to spawn a hundred background processes and use virtual memory unpredictably screwing up our framerates.


Pretty good list. I wonder why you say that about Zelda 1. Not that I totally disagree with you, I just don't hear people say that too much.

Bunch of other interesting points, and nice closing statement, brw!

Turn based games need to die. It's something they used back in the day before real time combat could effectively be done and it's just stuck around because of nostalgia and developers using it as a crutch.

More games should have female, PoC, and LGBT protagonists for the sake of pandering. These are all people that exist in the real world and making every main character a straight white male is just pandering to straight white male gamers. Also most of these games feature stunts that no man could ever pull off, so shut up about how it's "unrealistic" for a woman to do them.
Where do I start with this

It was exactly the wrong combination of hard and open.

I can deal with dying a lot as long as I at least know I'm headed somewhere worth going. But in Z1 you literally just pick a direction and wander a few screens before dying and not even knowing whether to try the same path again or wander in some other direction.

Games like Civilisation would change dramatically if they weren't turn based tbf. Game is built around the turn system in every aspect.

I can sorta understand getting to a place where the enemies are getting more difficult, just as a way of knowing you're going to far. But other than that, ya the lack of direction is a bit much. But the real game breaker for me was when you need to burn a bush and there was no real way to know which bush to burn. So what, you walk around trying them all?? I feel it was the first game that required a book to complete, or 1-800-Nintendo.

The gold cartridge and battery were cool though.

A lot of gamers dislike challenging unique mechanics (BOTW weapon durability, Dead Rising timer, etc.) because they are no longer able to handle difficulty curves and learning new ways to play a game

Bethesda Game Studios using an old engine isn't a big deal and will not decide if their next two games are average or bad

Nintendo 64 is the worst Nintendo home console (not including the Virtual Boy)

Naughty Dog isn't Sony's best developer. Sony Santa Monica (and now Insomniac) are better.

Xbox Games Studios are going to publish a lot of great games in the next few years and PlayStation/Switch only gamers are gonna miss out.

A downgraded port for Switch is better than no port at all due to portability and stuff like The Witcher 3 is ridiculously impressive

-Older Call of Duty games weren't necessarily better, people just remembered all the good things about them fondly.

-Peace Walker is the real MGS5, in terms of story and gameplay.

-Battle Royale is a good genre flooded with a few good games and many clout chasers.

-Overwatch becomes predictable af every match once you learn the meta. Rainbow Six Siege doesn't have nearly as much as of a problem because its operator gadgets serve more purposes than just plain killing.

-Resident Evil 6 gets hatesinked too much because people want to be scared through video games more often. It's definitely superior to 5 in several ways.

This is true of most games. Go back and play any game that's at least a generation old and it won't be as good as you remember. At best it's just age, at worst nostalgia.

Yooka Laylee was a great spiritual successor to Banjo. I made sure to replay Banjo before Yooka launched and I was so surprised to see it getting bad reception. I understand complaining about any actual bugs or glitches but once those were patched it was pretty perfect. It did everything Banjo did but prettier.
