Blurry Gray Thing posted:Also, how the hell is "Starcraft 2 is bad!" an unpopular opinion? Actually you just gave me fuel for the one I'll defend whole heartedly: Command & Conquer -> Starcraft hard. StarCraft is popular among people who want to play some kind of psychotic memory game of specific build-orders and think they are super-pro-awesome because they punch keys really fast. C&C is an actual strategy game, esp. Red Alert 2 and Generals. Generals: Zero Hour is also hands down the best RTS ever made. A little cleverness and out of the box thinking could gently caress build-order l337s. Hell even for MORE unpopular opinion, I think C&C 4 could have been a great game had the level up poo poo not been rushed and it wasn't a C&C game. Swap the C&C stuff out with, say, TF2 stuff and have Valve release it and people would have thought it's gameplay was fresh and interesting. But it did suck as a sequel so I can agree to that. ED: C&C3 had major issues and it's expansion broke the game so I will agree with anyone who says that overall sucked.

yeah I eat rear end posted:I don't have the time anymore for the 2-3 hour aoe2 games I used to play but they were far more enjoyable than any game that encourages/requires rushing. Gotta capture that Brood War / Dotes lightning in a bottle like LoL did and make ridiculous esports cash. Oh yeah I thought of another one: Pokemon games are all the same and very boring and I cannot understand how people get hyped to buy a new one every year, it's even more of a shameless repackaging of the same gameplay than call of duty

Blazing Ownager posted:Actually you just gave me fuel for the one I'll defend whole heartedly: Command & Conquer -> Starcraft hard. the problem was that EA had a cancelled game on their hands, in the form of a very bad idea intended for the asian market. Most of the assets and code were built apparently, and EA clearly has a problem with just letting go, unable to accept that some game concepts just aren't meant to be. They slapped a bunch of C&C branding on there and paid Joe Kucan to Kane it up in front of a green screen for 20 mins or w/e, then released a product that has apparently poisoned the franchise. and EA just can't stop trying to inject a bunch of f2p bullshit because the reason the new C&C Generals game also failed was because players more or less revolted in the alpha as they started adding changes that moved it towards some cash shop bullshit. EA these days only wants to make games you can complete or enjoy after investing in a bunch of frivolous horseshit that costs a couple times more than the base game and tbh im glad they're not touching C&C anymore since their intent with it is clearly straight up malevolent and anathema to what a RTS really is. Also Red Alert 3 loving suuuuucked and the cutscenes including some cool people could not change that. Building the campaign around co-op? really? go gently caress yourself EA. im salty about EA now and forever.

ROFL Octopus posted:Mostly agree with this except zero time dilemma poo poo the bed in every conceivable way (especially frustrating because the midgame was epic as hell) ZTD's ending is the only time I've felt straight-up insulted by a video game. gently caress that noise so hard. Blazing Ownager posted:I know this is the threads purpose but that is total heresy. Invisible War suuuuuuuuuuuuuucked. I wouldn't say it was better than HR but IW was actually pretty rad other than the (admittedly) crippling engine problems. The fact that the areas are so tiny forced them to be really well-designed for the most part, you don't get the freedom of approaching something from literally anywhere that you get from the original game but you get a series of cool stealth-action vignettes instead. Plus the characters in IW were way better and more interesting than in the original.

Homestar Runner posted:Everything about Terranigma (SNES) was blatantly stolen straight out of Chrono Trigger / Illusion of Gaia / Secret of Mana but it's better than those games so lol owned Terranigma was made by the same people as Illusion of Gaia, so this makes sense I don't really see how it stole from the other games though, unless you consider "is a top-down RPG" a terrible offense Anyway my unpopular opinion is that it makes no loving sense that Xenoblade keeps getting sequels when Skies of Arcadia needs one so desperately

Agreed that crafting is bad. In fact it is so bad that it makes me unwilling to ever play Witcher 3 again, or to buy its expansions regardless of whether they're otherwise good. I could not be more sick of combining moose turds and dwarven paperclips to make a fecal morningstar

CD Projekt red streamlined crafting a lot after they released Blood & Wine. It's maybe the most painless crafting system in RPGs right now. Fallout 4's is the worst. It's cool in theory to be modding guns and stuff but in practice bethesda can go gently caress itself with all that hunting for adhesive and high-end parts.

Children should only be allowed to graduate to newer games after they have beaten games that are older. This can be decided by committee but you only end up on baby difficulty modern games like gears of war and call of duty after you are successfully certified to have beaten Doom and Quake. Nobody will be allowed to play Assassins Creed or any game featuring Zombies.

I disagree usually, but for Fallout 4 tgm for basebuilding and I built a script to max out weapon and armor parts. I shouldn't have to do that for a crafting system to be functional imo.

Fallout 4 has the most grating crafting system and I have no clue why they decided to spend so much effort on base-building which, as far as I know, has never been a staple of the Fallout series. I have heard 2 conspiracy theories about why they focused on base-building and I find a lot of truth in both of them.

This is going to sound really, really, really dumb but I still don't own FO4 despite being pretty hype for it initially, all because the health bar in the UI looks like such absolute phoned-in poo poo that it was clear the game was going to have massive, fundamental problems throughout. I might grab it on sale sometime but after hearing some complaints about it I feel I made the right choice.

the basebuilding in particular is very obviously bethesda stapling a kind-of cool Fallout 3 mod in order to pad the content of the game. That said I really like weapon modding and stuff, that's really well done, but it's also a cop-out way for them to make distinct items without putting a bunch of man hours into making actual content. I paid for it brand new, and I shelved it for a while to play Witcher 3, a better game imo, but I ended up playing F4 quite a bit, and I can't say I regret it. It has a lot of problems but if you like Fallout games it's just fine. Bethesda shouldn't have voiced the protagonist and the plot is garbage, but there's a fun but flawed game in there. Luckily the worst part - the basebuilding - is totally optional save for one brief lategame moment.
