5 was fine, I'm sorry you play games for the movie that comes packaged with them. 5 might have come packaged with a worse movie, but as a game, 5 is just as good as 4. 6 is where they hosed up

5 had worse gameplay. forced co-op and the worst inventory management system ever resulted in a terribly inferior product. plus there was virtually no depth to the world/characters to draw you in. it all felt stale and boring

it was bad.

the story in re4 was bad, but fun which made it enjoyable to play. it wasn't riveting or something i wish to see taught in classrooms around the country. it was just fun.

sorry your friends are all dumb enough to think re5 was a good game.

its whatever though man. glad you enjoyed what is universally considered to be a disappointing game. this is the unpopular opinions thread and you are welcome here.

I disagree, they made a couple of decent third person shooters in 4 and 5. The rest of the series is complete garbage.

i feel like video games are a combination of gameplay and storytelling, both of which can be important to the overall quality of a game. in addition, games where the gameplay feels like acting out a story or participating in one (like a child on a playground).

i guess i just disagree that you can't play a story, though at this stage we are well away from the re franchise.

i think about games like empire: total war where its just a game that takes place "in history" but the gameplay creates the story of your selected and surrounding nations. you can create the story of the poland that conquered europe and india with literally no "story part" of the game. i hesitate to bring up dark souls, but there is very little story telling in that, but it still feels like you're playing and creating your own story. me2 gives that feeling as well, though much more tightly managed way, where you thought your choices could impact how the story would play out.

No, video games are gameplay. People shove film and literature into them because they don't have the creativity to fully embrace the medium they are working in, and have to resort to others.

i think these are arbitrary restrictions.

some movies have text to describe a setting

some books have pictures

songs can have videos that are considered integral to the song

video games are by definition combined media. it includes gameplay but other things as well

Nah, every aspect of a game contributes to the experience. Whether it's story or music or a bongo drum controller.

It was a loving grandfather paradox that they just shat out in the middle of the floor and walked away from. Not to mention that no matter what you did in the game you got the same ending, unlike the well-established "how you play determines the ending you get" mechanic of the previous installments in the franchise. I actually really liked the gameplay in Infinite, but holy poo poo did the plot take a nosedive into odious twaddle.

Shadow the Hedgehog was a fun game with really cool ideas about structure, there were like 30 levels but a full playthrough would only hit 6 or something based on your actions and so there was always more to check out.

Well yeah. It was sort of the point that a lot of your choices didn't have a lasting impact. Constants and variables, my man.

what IS an unpopular opinion is that i had more fun playing bad 3DO games (doom @ 3-12 fps lol) than good n64 games

The only reason this is hard at all is because HR is a poorly programmed piece of poo poo that often decides that a tranq dart is enough to straight kill a dude. In the first mission where you rescue the hostages when you go through the warehouse part there's a dude smoking a cigarette off to the side and I've never been able to knock him out without the game just going "haha he's dead now." If the game worked right it would be easy as hell, even the intro (where it doesn't make any sense at all thematically not to kill the guys, but it still counts for the achievement for some reason) is set up so you can just kinda waltz through it without ever getting seen.


This is so awful. I'm not even against missable items generally but don't tie that poo poo back to an achievement.

mankind divided has the same issues with the foxiest of hounds achievement where you can fail without knowing it. i went through the entire game nonlethal/ghost/smooth operator, never got the alarm tutorial pop up and I still didn't get it
