  • Death Stranding is trash in almost every area
  • Ghost of Tsushima is an overall mediocre game
  • while flawed in some areas (ghosts, escort, backtracking), Silent Hill 4 was pretty good
  • Max Payne 3 Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne >>> Max Payne
  • Yakuza/Like a Dragon is a mid, formulaic series, and recycles more elements than Ubisoft games
  • linearity, even when extreme, isn't necessarily a bad thing in games; it just depends on the execution
  • up to the palace 5 boss of Persona 5, my conclusion was that it wasn't a good game - the plot was drawn-out, bloated, and poorly paced, gameplay felt archaic (scrolling a menu for combat/defense isn't fun if that's all you do), and the music is overrated. I dropped the game not long after
  • Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is a GOAT fighting game

Alright soundtrack I'll give you it's unpopular. I thought the music choices and times they came to pass were remarkable. But I also love the game.

-MGS4 was, by far, best in the series
-Fallout 4 is also the best in the series. It's only over NV because of the settlements feature, but it beats the first 3 either way.
-Zelda Oracle games are not equal in quality. Ages was notably better.
-Maybe not truly unpopular, but Mystic Quest was not "really good for what it was"

-Most games should have skateboarding that controls like Tony Hawk's Underground 2 as a movement option. Not like Tony's still making games.
-Binding of Isaac games should have a power trip option where I can pick one item to start with. Disable unlocks/achievements, I don't mind.
-Cuphead is really difficult to continue caring about or revisit once you beat it.
-L4D2 should copy Payday 2 and let players sprint/quick revive/Kingpin/get crits and all that other stuff. You should also be able to escape a special infected on your own.
-Plague Knight >> Shovel Knight >>> Spectre Knight >>>>> King Knight.
-Jasper Batt Jr is the best No More Heroes character.
-Those Persona games look really generic like you know how so many animes are just they go to school and there's demons blah blah and so on.
-You should be able to fight people and creatures in Harvest Moon games.
-People say Yakuza games are funny but this is untrue. There are outlandish situations sure, but little more.
-Dark Souls 1 should have unlockable starting classes. I max out the Chaos Servants, let me start out with their stuff. I kill Ornstein, let me start the game in full Ornstein armor with the spear. Disable online, not like I even use it.

FF's combat has gotten increasingly better with each game, and when going back to play the older ATB games, it really shows how limited and regressive it would be if the series went back to being turn-based.

Even XV - with all of its MANY faults I have with it - was still fun as hell.

This is what the seed system is for. You can copy/paste OP builds people share online and get ridiculously powerful within three basement levels.

I'm still on AB+, I don't know if Repentance coming out scrambled things but last time I tried I was having a difficult time getting them working.
I usually just play until I get a nice run on my own then write down the seed.
It'd be nice if they'd just bring up the item screen and tell me to pick one. I'd pick Jacob's Ladder most of the time.

Zelda 2 is the best NES game.

JRPs stopped being good when they stopped having overworlds.

Story is the least important part of a game.

Fallout 3 had a better radio than New Vegas.

Even when it was supposedly good, Sonic was never good.

Achievements are worthless and are actively anti-gamer.

Kotaku sucks, but people that complain about Kotaku are infinitely more annoying.

I always play as the default player model and never spend any time customizing my look (only exception being choosing classes and stats).

  • Dark Souls 3 is the best one.
  • Sekiro is better than Bloodborne.
  • Elden Ring is really only fun once or twice.
  • Scarlet and Violet are really good games.
  • Backtracking (especially in games like DMC4) isn't a big problem, y'all are just babies. If the environment was good the first time, it'll probably be good the second time.

Open world game design becoming ubiquitous has largely made AAA gaming creatively bankrupt and tedious to play. Games just feel so samey now, like checkbox collectathons made using the copypaste Rockstar / Ubisoft open world map checklist formula.

Breath of the Wild is boring and tedious after the "new" wears off about 20-30 hours in. It's the poster child of a game with barely anything worth doing and 80 hours of padding.

JRPG is a misnomer. The name roleplaying game implies that you have the ability to make meaningful decisions in the role you're playing, and ideally that said decisions will impact the world you're in. Excellent examples of this would be Fallout 1 and 2, New Vegas, Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, Divinity Original Sin 1 and 2, etc. While there are some JRPGs that would fit this criteria (e.g., Shin Megami Tensei 3, even if limited to the ending selection criteria), the vast majority of them do not, and would better be described as something like "interactive adventure stories" or something, as you're basically just playing out a predetermined story, and if you get to make any choices they don't typically matter or mean anything (like which order you do the split scenarios in FF6, or whether Cloud / Squall will be nice or be a dickhead). There's nothing wrong with this: these days I sort of prefer the simplicity of JRPGs and find choice paralyzing, but that doesn't mean they're RPGs. If the criteria for being an RPG is that you have progression mechanics and you play a role, basically anything with RPG elements (which is pretty much everything now) is an RPG, and therefore if everything is, nothing is, as the moniker is utterly meaningless.

Explorable areas (like the levels in Deus Ex or BioShock especially when you can travel back and forth between them as BioShock 1 and 2 allow you to do) are more often than not better than open worlds.

Modern multiplayer FPS design is atrocious, and old school carry everything, fire from the hip, health / armor / weapon / powerup pickups around the map, unique weapons / vehicles, designed around the skill ceiling keyboard / mouse allows, from games like Unreal Tournament is far more interesting and fun. While I'm at it, having bots to play against was really cool and fun, and I doubt that will ever happen again.

As a reader, most video game stories are pretty meh. There are exceptions to this, like Xenogears and BioShock.

Games being designed around multiple routes and replayability is bad. I don't even have time to play all the games I want to play once, much less play through the same game twice with two different protagonists (Star Ocean and many others) or 4 or 5 times just to see all routes / get the real ending (Triangle Strategy, NieR Automata to name a couple).

Doom is the "put it on everything" game, Skyrim needs to fuck off with that shit as playing a Bethesda game anywhere besides PC (where you have the development console to work around bugs and 100% mod availability) is an act of lunacy.
