My theory: if FFXII was never made, and instead made today with mostly the same gameplay, without development problems and with the same advertising/hype as FFXVI, it would unanimously be considered one of the best games of all time.

There are dozens of fighting games that are WAY worse than Shaq Fu, and the game would be more highly regarded if it didn't have Shaq in the name or title.

Diablo 3 RMAH was fine, issue with D3 on release was mostly poor balancing because little to no end-game.
Current D3 is in a better state than D4, much better.

Destiny 2 sucks. The buy-in is worse than WoW and the main reason people don't quit is because they feel too invested.

Too many good characters makes fighting games too inconsistent. Imbalance is a good thing to an extent. You especially don't want characters with gimmicks that require you to "learn the match up" forty times over.

Sonic '06 is a decent game if you cut out the load times.

I dunno about that. The biggest issue with 12 wasn't the gameplay, it was the story. Long story short, Vaan/Penelo weren't even supposed to be characters in the game, they were added after the fact and then Reverent Wings tried to give them a redeeming story which I have no clue how well that worked as I never played it.

Visually it was gorgeous, though I wasn't a fan of the character models. But they would have to fix the story above everything else. Give Ashe the Laguna treatment and have a big side story not introducing her to the main party until much later in the game, so we actually give a damn about her. And for gods sake give Balthier more story. His story was actually somewhat interesting but it was so little in the context of the entire game.

You do have a point there. Like the foundation is there, but it needs a lot of character adjustments and so on. I kind of forget so many people base their FF ratings on the story, which is valid.

It's pretty middling in One but in 2 and 2:B it's the best part of the games by far.

Mario games have no soul anymore. It was a long and slow death but ever since roughly Super Mario Galaxy 2, every Mario game feels like it was just churned out in a factory based on a strict template. This seems to track with when Nintendo cracked down on Mario games requiring very specific scenarios, characters, and formulas with no deviation allowed which is why Paper Mario TOK only has Toads for NPCs.

I don't disagree.

CG > Sonic levels > Shadow levels > the music > the rest of the game.

On that note.

Sonic 06 was bad because it wasn't finished, and that's about it. The level design is great, the bones of the mechanics were sound. The only bad parts were the hub world and the story. P-06 is the proof that the game could have been amazing with enough time.

Fallout 2 is better than fallout 1!!!! I'm tired of fallout 1 fanboys!! I'm sick of them!!!

Dmc 5 feels too floaty (still a great game tho but it made me not wanna play past the 80 hours mark. Went back to playing modded dmc 3 lol). Diff between the two is that I have to slow down my mashing when playing dmc 5 whereas for dmc 3 modded I always feel like I can mash a bit faster @ 60 fps and even more so at above 100 fps.

Many action adventure games don't need a combat system tbh. Just make them pure adventures.

This is a long debunked myth. Vaan and Penelo were always meant to be characters, and from what I remember reading they decided on the Japanese VA for Vaan as early as 2003.

BioShock 2 is the best BioShock game. In terms of gameplay its superior to BioShock in every way.

It doesnt have the big twist, but they were damned if they did, damned if they didnt. If theyd just replicated that theyd have been accused of being repetitive. So they chose to do a more character focused story around the relationship between Delta and Eleanor, and people complained it wasnt just the same thing again.

Plus, Minervas Den is fantastic.

TotK is a dog shit game.

Bloodborne is still From Software's magnum opus.

Resident Evil 4 Remake is better than the original in every way.

Chrono Cross shits all over Chrono Trigger.

Trails of Cold Steel isnt appreciated enough.

FF16 is a top 5 FF game.

I agree. I think BioShock actually is the better game on first play through because of the story and twists, but BioShock 2 is much more fun to replay and Minervas Den is just as good story and twist-wise as the first game.

My unpopular gaming opinion is that FromSoft is meh. I beat Dark Souls and had fun but would never replay it, and I tried Elden Ring, but The gameplay just feels janky to me. I dont like third person action games in general though, so I realize why people like their stuff. The artwork and design of enemies and the world are amazing, but I dont like the gameplay.

I do like really hard games, especially shmups and 2D retro stuff.

Here are some others

*Sonic 2> 3&K
*Digital distribution is fine as an option and it makes sense why it's all but mandatory for PC gaming but console gaming should not be digital only
*Visual effects should have more colors than hot white. I don't give a rat's furry dingleberried ass if it's realistic it looks like shit and shouldn't be in games that don't use a photo realistic style.
*Video gaming needs an out of home side to the experience more than what we have now. Nothing's special if you have access to everything at home.
*Gameplay wise FFV is the best 2D FF
*Manuals should still have a place for current games
*Gaming should have more cultures in it besides the west and Japan
*Cover based shooters are unfun especially if they have hitscan mechanics
*Turn-based RPGs can work with modern consoles but there needs to be the illusion of movement. Having your party and the enemies just stand in place looks dumb outside of srpgs of course

Since the ubiquity of broadband, complete physical copies havent really been much of a thing for PS and Xbox. In many if not most cases, the disc is just a partial installer, and you have to download the rest of the game, so youll be in the same boat as digital buyers in a few decades if the servers are down. The days of put the disc in and play are long gone.

Really, in terms of game preservation, always online is the death knell, pretty much. Those authentication servers will not be up forever.
