veni veni veni posted:Honest question. It's totally fine to not like any kind of game that doesnt appeal to you, but what about first person shooters puts some of you off? Is the perspective? The shooting? Honest answer. I can't really put my finger on it, but i've just never really had much fun with the genre. It might be the perspective to a certain degree, since it just reduces the game to point cursor at enemy and shoot. It's also a genre that doesn't often do anything very inventive, at least in regards to gameplay. I know one thing that bothers me with them is that there is always way to many guys to shoot, but that's probably just a side-effect of not enjoying it all that much to begin with. Idk, it's just not for me. I liked Portal though. E: Also have no interested in guns, which i think is a factor for some CoD fans.

I don't know if that's the right way to put it, but something about shooting realistic people with realistic weapons has never sat well with me. I could see that. If nothing else some games really get off on realistic violence which can be off putting. Personally that's part of why I prefer sci fi/horror or even fantasy shooters to contemporary war shooters. Although I will play them both. Personally I'm the most easily immersed in a first person perspective though.

The part in the new Wolfenstein game where you stab a Nazi in the head and say "die nazi scum" is genuinely a top 5 moment in gaming ever.

I don't think Titanfall 2's campaign was even best of holiday 2016 let alone best fps campaign ever. Loved the multiplayer though.

I like fps games a lot but I bounced off of the titanfall beta insanely hard. I enjoyed the mechanics enough that I think I'd dig the sp, but I really did not like the mp stuff in that at all. heard they fixed some stuff for the full release, but I disliked the beta so much that risking $60 on it would have been dumbAttitude Indicator posted:I've just started route C now and I'm just amazed.

I really loved the third video game from Fumito Ueda. I only really had trouble with one puzzle in the beginning where Trico's ai went into a weird loop. And another time near the end where the kid launched off of Trico at one particular tower. (Frame drops have never really bothered me but I'm not going to deny it happened either) After that the only time I had trouble with a puzzle was when my brain was stupid like with that water puzzle. The game did everything I wanted and I felt like it was fifty dollars well spent for 15 hours of spending time with my beautifully animated feathery friend. Someone said you spend a majority of the game riding Trico but I spent most of it riding and petting Trico. It's totally fine to hate the games and the praise they get but accusing the people who like it of sunken cost fallacy is silly. I'm 20 hours into Horizon: Zero Dawn and so far I have climbed two total "lovely Far Cry Towers" which is three less than what I've encountered in Zelda in the same amount of time. Why does having these things in an open world game make it bad? I personally enjoyed the platforming involved in getting up towers in far cry 4. Unlike far cry, it's not necessary to climb the "tallneck" to unlock missions in Horizon, I don't really know what it does beside spit out machine locations. In Zelda it seems to be tied to unlocking shrines? I've completed three cauldrons and hunted numerous machines but I often find myself just roaming around the map rather than progressing the story. I've seen a bit of the Faro stuff and right now I suspect Aloy is a clone of Elizabet(h) that was sent out by the hyper science humans living in "Mother's womb" which hopefully we'll get to meet in the third act of the game and that's when I get my awesome above purple gear but this is just me assuming things. The story is just compelling enough for me to want to beat it, also the hope of better gear drives me forward. Soon that Stormbird what taunts me so can finally fall. I also love how heavy weapons in this game are powerful but also finite and how you obtain them is pretty great.

exquisite tea posted:I played a lot more FPS in 90s when they had more fanciful settings and every new title wasn't a modern or near-future milsim. OG Doom, Hexen, Perfect Dark, Quake, etc. I played DOOM and Overwatch last year and liked them both, probably because their settings were a lot more imaginative than what I'd grown accustomed to in calladoodies. There's another aspect that's harder to pin down, but I also feel like FPS games have become more... mean-spirited over the years? I don't know if that's the right way to put it, but something about shooting realistic people with realistic weapons has never sat well with me. Yeah, I have put a lot of hours into Overwatch and I attribute at least a bit of that to the fact that the setting is a lot more appealing. I don't think I could spend dozens of hours in Actual War Shooting at Realistic Human Beings in a looping meatgrinder. It's weird, I feel like I have become... more sensitized to violence as the years pass? I am excited for Injustice 2 but had to skip Mortal Kombat X because where they took things gore-wise was too much for me. Doom was pretty violent too but it was just outlandish enough, also I wouldn't play multi in that either

There was one specific animation in Overwatch that gave me pause, though. I was playing as Mei and a Reinhardt charged me like halfway across the map and off a cliff. Hearing her scream and seeing her flail her arms the whole time was a bit  (Of course I guess I had no problem with freezing people and braining them with icicles so)

I thought it was pretty thin though, like each boss is introduced 15 seconds before you kill them. I liked BF1's better, though it trailed off in the last few missions.

Mortal Kombat X just crosses a line for me where the violence is so ridiculously gross and over the top that it loops back around to just being goofy. I enjoyed MKX but if it were more realistic then I probably wouldn't as much.

It's really how violence is handled more than anything. GOW is like some poo poo an edgy teenager who is about to shoot up a school would make. TLOU is super violent but I think it serves the narrative. Mortal Kombat is so goofy idgaf. God of War though

While I don't mind extreme violence on videogames I agree that GoW3 has something that I don't really like. Like punching a face until it slowly melts. I grew up with OG Doom, Rise of the Triad and Duke3D and got Soldier of Fortune when it came out. Loved MK IX because it was a 90's throwback but GoW3 tried to be too serious. In comparison, Doom 2016 has a goofy aproach to violence when murdering demons that think you're the monster.

I've yet to encounter a game where the violence has turned me off of it. The sniper elite series would contend if it wasn't for the fact that you're popping nazi balls. If the enemies were pretty much anyone else I don't know if I'd play those games.

The part that always stuck out to me was when you "save" some naked woman and she's like "thank you kratos you are my hero" and then you drag her by her hair into a blender to open a door. Like, gently caress whoever designed that. The whole game is like that though. There are so many moments where your supposed to get all giddy when Kratos gores the hell out of someone for no reason. Just this Nu metal looking idiot running around murdering people and I'm supposed to think it's cool. gently caress that horrible game it's like Monster energy drink mixed with ISIS.

That Mafia 3 video kinda reminds me of the Manhunt games on PS2. Kind of ironically, the subdued and grainy violence and lack of gore in Manhunt 1 was far more disturbing than the ridiculous, over the top bloodbath executions in the awful sequel. Violence where there isn't as much blood as you'd think there would be feels more brutal than something like Mortal Kombat or even Wolfenstein New Order where it's over the top like a Tarantino flick.
