"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"

Overwatch is definitely crazy overrated but it's still a fun game to play a few rounds of. Also, love it or hate the characters, the overall design is really impressive in terms of recognizable silhouettes and automatic audio call-outs that warn you about ults and stuff.

Your dad's in the Russian Mafia, that's the jumpoff!
If Titanfall 2 had a bigger playerbase on PC i would play nothing but it to scratch my fps itch. But i hate playing its flagship game mode, Attrition, because i don't play multiplayer fps'es to care about shooting bots, and the last time i played every other game mode took 20 minutes to find a game since nothing has dedicated servers anymore.

Because its nonesense. A good game is a good game. Your enjoyment shouldnt hinge on whether or not its a carbon copy of the previous game.

Overwatch is successful because every other competitive FPS is just teams of 5-10 boring people in black/brown/tan clothes with the EXACT SAME GUNS as every other game in the genre.

The overwhelming homogenization of realistic, military shooters lead to a decade of 5 companies making the same game over and over, and Overwatch manages to add enough variety at every level of the game that people are drawn to it because it's finally something new.

You misunderstand the statement. For argument's sake, let's say I think "Breath of the Wild" is a bad Zelda game. I can still like it and enjoy it a lot and think it is a good game, I just don't think it fits within the paradigm of what a good Zelda game is. One opinion does not contradict the other, even if the other may be fanboy quibbling.

My split is TPS on controller and FPS on KB + M.

I prefer TPS in general though because I am very very bad at telling where enemy shots are coming from using the FPS damage indicators. I always just end up spinning around and dying.

Art works on both levels and you know it.

A great third-person shooter is better than any FPS, but a mediocre third-person shooter is usually worse than a sub-par FPS.

Unpopular opinion: Most of the SEGA Genesis "classics" are garbage that are only fondly remembered because in the early 90s SEGA was the budget console of choice.

My unpopular opinion: everything is either good or bad depending on whether you like it or not.

Also: Genesis music may have been inferior in quality to the SNES but it had a certain charm to it that made it good.

The Fallout series is a good example of this. Playing the first 2 is a sad realisation that the series wasn't very popular for good reason.

It's also sometimes the whole Seinfeld effect; there's nothing special about it because everyone saw how cool it was and copied it to death.

Don't know if I'd apply that to Dragon Age Origins though.

Every character has the same skill tree iirc. Like, I had a mage and I also played one and it was like "welp I guess one guy will cast firestorm and the other will cast ice storm" then a third mage comes along and it's like "hmmm, meteor shower or lightning storm".

Game was so tragically uninspired that the stupidity of its fans is deafening. Like, you know they only like the game because they enjoy shipping the characters. There is no other reason to like it. There is no story. All the dungeons are the same. Nil character customization. Drab scenery and stale voice acting. Utter poo poo game. So vexed that I wasted 20 hours or whatever playing it, uninstalled. Will never play again. Will mock those who do.
