EA GAMES' MASTERPIECE 'MADDEN 2018 G.O.A.T. EDITION' IS A GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF ART AND TECHNOLOGY. IT BRINGS GAMEDAY RIGHT TO THE PLAYER AND WHOEVER SAYS OTHERWISE CAN, YOU GUESSED IT...
SUCK THE SHIT STRAIGHT OUT OF MY OWN ASSHOLE.

BUY IT.
Randomized dungeons are the best feature, and it's not worth playing an ARPG without them.

Looking at you, Titan Quest. Even on your first playthrough, the "hand-crafted" maps in TQ are dreary and predictable compared to even a mediocre randomizer.

Red alert 2 is so good its ridiculous. Yuris revenge is good too. Fun multiplayer even though yuri was pretty broken iirc. Of cpurse i was 11 and didn't care about metas and being good

I haven't played the game in over 10 years but I can still hear Yuri's VA saying his quotes in my head.

Unpopular opinion: After updates and expansions D3 is now in a really good spot, and better than D2. From my point of view it's strictly better because it is basically the same game as D2 with enormously improved quality of life. The main complaint I hear is that it's dumb having the bad guys speak to you in pop ups during their acts. Which I agree is pretty dumb, but not enough to say all of D3 sucks

the Diablo series straight up never rises above the heights of the first game, which is very good. Because they were subsequently made when blizzard was objectively shittier than the company that released Diablo 1.

Blizzard hasn't released a really good game since Diablo 1/Warcraft 2. Diablo 2/lod was okay, warcraft 3 was bad, world of warcraft was a good MMO until they merged with activision, who then began to immediately patch out any difficulty in the game and turned it into a retarded lil treadmill for babies.

WoW peaked with patch 1.13

is it better than modded Diablo 2? i doubt it. Diablo 3 will always be an eternal failure, because Blizzards greed made them design it in a way that makes modding impossible.

WoW was fun back then not because of the difficulty but because of what I would call the 'mystery' of it. To get the level 60 warlock mount, I had to ask other warlocks around town where to get the reagents, trek all over the world to obscure and faraway places where i was unlikely to see another player, pay a team of people to travel with me to strange part of a strange dungeon, etc. Everything felt like an adventure! Now every aspect of every video game is datamined and polished and a bunch of math nerds wittle everything down to the 'optimal' strategy, stand here at time $x, if $y, then $z, etc. Still, even after activition and blizzard merged and overpolished everything and wowhead and those other dataminers came out and sucked the soul out of the content, it was still sort of fun to meet people and run group quests and dungeons. Then they took that away too when they added cross-server group finding, after that every group was at best silent or more frequently extremely toxic and it turned to complete poo poo.

Vanilla WoW was lightning in a bottle and nothing will ever bring it back because current video game culture is all about meaningless achievements, scores, and treadmills instead of fun or socializing with other people.

Video game "culture" ruined video games.

The only time diablo 2 was good was when you could run mephisto bots etc without getting caught. Just set it running before going to sleep and every morning was like christmas. Then you could actually participate in the high level trading part of the game that would be impossible to do without hacking and you could make whatever ridiculously good pvp thing you wanted.

Actually playing the game was boring as poo poo and that didn't change in diablo 3.

It is no surprise at all that Nintendo doesn't make more new franchises when stuff like Codename S.T.E.A.M. is already sitting in bargain bins all over and Splatoon, the company's best-selling new IP of the last decade, sold less than half as many copies as lovely entries of other series like Assassin's Creed Unity.

Nintendo should still do more than their infinite wave of Mario and Zelda titles. They have a bad habit of killing things for not making gigantic sales. In the end it leaves them with consoles that have only two games of any value coming out each year and endless rereleases of decades old games. They should try making lots of lower budget games alongside their big titles so that they can have an actual library on their consoles and some variety in their games.

Honestly I'd take anything over waiting nearly decades at a time for something new or interesting to come from Nintendo. It wouldn't kill them to have a team make a new F Zero or 2D metroid on a lower budget, or try out making some cool retro style games.

Also, splatoon's lack of sales can be blamed on the WiiU selling like trash.
