Honestly I think DSP is right about fighters in a certain way. Most people usually just look up an offense guide for their character and only do those few safe "patterns" as he calls them. Most people don't really try to learn the game on their own.

It's why you see the exact same setups and teams and combos ad nauseum

If you can't sell your games console for less than 250 (ok maybe 300 at a push) you shouldn't make it.

Mario 3D World on the Switch controls dramatically worse than the Wii U version.

Mario Bowser's Fury is the worst 3D Mario game and it's no contest. And that isn't even taking into account that it's short/smaller scale.

Kingdom Hearts has a great story and lore and is easy enough to follow if you play or at least view the cutscenes of all games. KH3 was a very satisfying conclusion to what had come before while leaving enough loose ends to set up its next chapter and keep me excited for whats to come.

Link still being a silent protagonist in this day and age is beyond lame and is one of the main reasons why I just can't truly get into a zelda game post nintendo 64 (when it comes to the console zeldas ocarina of time+majora's mask were the last 2 I truly loved, and oracles of seasons+ages are my favorite 2D zeldas). Even zelda and ganondorf gets to be voiced these days, but muh tradition is still keeping link from barely emoting or having reactions during story sequences.

Zelda fanboys like with this writer for this screenrant article always repeat that same ol' "He can't have a voice because then it would be impossible to have the player put theirselves in link's shoes. He must be a self-insert!" and headcanon stuff like "he must stay silent and strong to bear any burden!". Yeah no, change just absolutely terrifies everyone, and talking video game link is super duper scary, =/

Sounds like a salty red man who hates not being at advantage because their build is specifically geared for PvP looking to go against an average PvE player.

I agree with you in principle but after the voice acting in BOTW... I'm glad he's still silent

A lot of people think game companies are greedy but I think it's actually gamers who are greedy. Video games are dozens of times more expensive to make now than they were in the 90s but gamers have largely been unwilling to pay more to help offset that cost. So because of that, the base price of games has barely increased and many gamers are against DLC because according to them that means the game was released unfinished. These people also complain about microtransactions even though they're optional. It gives me the impression that they don't actually want game companies to make money.

This is a big part of why AA games are struggling right now. 20 years ago a game could sell a million or two copies for $50 and make a decent profit but that's not the case anymore because we refuse to pay any more than what we currently do.

The only good MGS game is Rising, due to its gameplay and nothing else. Kojima is a hack and the MGS franchise as a whole is overrated to hell and back. What people see in those games is well and truly beyond me.

Complaints about 100%ing a game being too time-consuming are nonsensical unless that's the only way to get the "true ending."

Just stop playing when a game gets boring to you. Nobody's forcing you to tick up a percentage marker. It's a completely imaginary problem, you don't need to find every korok seed, dude.
That's not the issue. The issue is the backlog.

I don't mind remasters.

publishers are already working on new titles, but it often takes more time and money to create new games, so having remasters being developed and sold is a way for them to fund whatever they're working on.

at the very least, you can ignore them.

Elden Ring is just okay, and Shadow of the Erdtree takes everything bad about it and makes it even worse with nothing to make it worthwhile

Open World is awful for anything but purely sandbox games. It is especially terrible for RPGs

Doom 2016 and Eternal are boring

TFC is superior to TF2

There is nothing wrong with linearity in games

Mega Man X6 is a good game

Wii U was a great console with great games and the best controller of all time (Wii U Pro)

Xbox 360 controller is overrated

I was just thinking about this.

-While 4-7 are the best gaming gens (3 being close for significance), the 6th gen is the weakest out of those four. Yes, 7th is better.

-Mega Man II for the Game Boy is fine. wtf is with people saying it was bad.

I'll also add my usuals when this topic comes up:
-FFMQ is a mediocre game that's decent for what it is, not a decent game that's good for what it is.
-Mario is Missing is also a mediocre game that's decent for what it is, not terrible (though I played the PC version, which may have been a bit better)
-EarthBound is a really fun game with a great atmosphere, but it's not some great or deep story about the power of friendship
-Ages > Seasons, by a decent margin
-The Witcher 3 has great side quests and writing, but the core storyline isn't that great

Oh almost forgot, and MGS4 >> MGS3

Actually I'm going to add another one. Similar to FFMQ, Rising was not "actually good", it was significantly inferior to all main MGS games.

I also want to add that resident evil 6 was fun as hell to play and going through both this game and RE5 on professional is one of my favorite video gaming co-op memories.

*I think the key to really enjoy RE6 (and to a lesser extent RE5) is to never bother playing these games alone. Laugh at the goofy ass story or stupid quick time events together, and have someone to have fun during the gameplay segments in general.

Like there was so many complaints about sheva's (well the game in general. Most players just defaulted to using chris. Either that or you had to unlock playing as sheva alone, I forgot which) AI and it being bad. I never experienced it since I never touched this game by myself, lol*

  • Final Fantasy V is the best Final Fantasy game
  • Mega Man X5 has the best soundtrack in the entire series (except maybe X1)
  • On that note, music alone is one of a game's major selling points for me, and I've avoided specific franchises just because I didn't like the music
