Minecraft is pretty fun under certain conditions: No abstract, impenetrable game-mode mods that require you to fully understand it to begin participating. Basically anything that changes the way players interact with each other, but doesn't provide any visual cues as to what your status is or what you're supposed to do. Anti-grief mods in place OR a small world with no restrictions whatsoever. Minecraft Classic was great in that you'd get these dense jungles of constructions overlapping each other. MCMMO or some other mod that boosts mining productivity makes Survival mode much more fun. A stable server with an active community of people who build grinders and automatic farms. This sort of server, however, requires a teleport mod because the spawn area will get mined out in a hurry. Adult servers are best; but with good mods a server can have kids and not suck.

Penny Arcade is occasionally great; but is so insufferable the rest of the time that it isn't worth following to get to the good ones. (one half of that seems likely to be unpopular, I'm not sure which.)

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is a loving slog. Almost every chapter has a point where you need to go back and forth a million times. Almost always there's some door, with the key at the beginning of the chapter. After the door there might be some other roadblock, and the means to go forward are back at the beginning again. The original had some lovely chapters, but even the worst ones never required you to go back and forth on a straight line. Hell, even Flower Fields had a little hub area. The game isn't offensively bad, but holy hell it's not the pinnacle of Mario RPGs and would be way better if it was cut in half.

I thought the gameplay in spec ops was fine: miles better than say Bioshock 1. it felt good to shoot the mans, your dude moved round the place well and the guns sounded good.

The Marathon games are better than any Doom game (and are also the only good games Bungie ever made) The only good Final Fantasy was Tactics for the PS1 (and maybe 9) Psychonauts was a good setting ruined by mediocre and samey gameplay. There are exactly two good games associated with the Might and Magic universe: HoMM3, and Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. Dark Forces is the best Star Wars game because flight sims are for autists.

phasmid posted:I grew up with 2, but HoMM3 really did perfect the system. I feel sorry for people who haven't played it. Dark Messiah is one of my favorite FPS RPG's now that it actually plays well. It has a lot of good secret hunting, a lot of very, very fun exploration mechanics (rope bow is god) and a lot of hidden weapons that make every class type viable, the only thing keeping me from saying it's a perfect game is the voice acting (and, to that extent, the writing, which is hammy as poo poo, but that's keeping in line with the Might and Magic universe honestly). An opinion I forgot to post: I automatically assume anyone who enjoys playing the Smash Bros games "competitively" has poo poo judgement and hates fun.

Melee combat games should always be third person, being able to see your character do the cool poo poo they are doing is part of the fun. For first person melee to be good, it needs to feel like you're actually in a fight and have to be aware of your surroundings - getting hit in the face by an axe wielding skeleton or whatever should be disorienting and stressful. If you got surrounded by five guys then you hosed up and deserve to get battered around and have a hard time doing anything. I would like to see more games where enemies grab the player while their friends just beat the poo poo out of you. Some reasonable examples in this video, except Skyrim. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6dFwA5bftg

"Oh, abloo, but that would make the game too easy!" Bitch, give the Lich high awareness and aura detection so you can't sneak up on him. The worst thing about TES is that the combat has gone nowhere since Morrowind. Well, that and nerfing all the spells. Bring back levitate you lazy fucks! Skyrim was dumb because if a grizzly bear attacks you, you have only to slash it a few times with your dagger because you're a blade expert, but you're in for a real fight if you run afoul of a frozen mummy in lovely armor even if you hit square on its rotting skull with Volendrung.

This happens in a lot of RPGs though, it's a consequence of Numbers Go Up design. Either you force the player to grind rabbits and snakes for a few hours, or you go ahead and give them a real fight and set the seeds for narrative dissonance later on, while also letting slip the fact that XP/Level is just a pacing mechanism that doesn't mean anything in terms of the player's actual power or agency in the game.

Everything Bethesda touch, and to an extent Bioware, have become the worst excesses of lowest common denominator gaming. Objectionless broad mass appeal with no genuine artistic direction or substance. They're games where the experiment is just "how far can I bloat a regular RPG experience" and then just widening and widening until the games are just 100 hour monsters with about 5 hours of main story and 95 hours of unfulfilling, uninteresting fluff. Skyrim has some nice environments and that's where it ends. The saddest part is that they just graphically updated the loving turd that was Oblivion and made it longer. Even the combat is the same insipid sigh-fest. Compare it to Dark Messiah, basically a contemporary of Oblivion, and you just weep salty loving tears at how if anybody with an ounce of understanding of "fun" were employed at these places how much their megabucks budget could actually make a good game. The reason people raved about how New Vegas was better than FO3 wasn't because it was functionally a better game, it's just because it's shorter with a coherent narrative and some semblance of character.

Also, fun fact about Dark Messiah: it was made by Arkane Studios, the people who made Dishonored, which is another game i think is pretty good. new phone who dis posted:Dying light has a pretty cool drop kick reminiscent of Dark Messiah. Getting the drop kick is what saved Dying Light for me. The power curve in that game is dumb, at the beginning you're weak as poo poo and have to run from anything other than a 1 on 1 fight and at the end all the weapons one shot anything.

I'm stunned and just plain shocked that there are so many stealth games, and that they're as popular as they are. rear end creed, horizon, deus ex, dishonored, watch dogs, far cry (if you want to), etc. Tons of popular stealth games. I mean...stealth of all things.
