Bogus Adventure posted:No, you're not. There is no good space combat sim on the market right now. Elite: Dangerous is the closest thing, but it's too empty to be fun. All I want is a drat Star Wars space combat sim where I can sit in the cockpit of a snub-nose fighter and fight in the Battle of Endor, weaving around capital ships and squads of TIEs while the Death Star is blowing up Rebel ships. Is that too much to ask? nigga crab pollock posted:what started the trend of platform games having a whole bunch of minigames and very different playstyles because i understand it comes about because you need to switch up gameplay but it takes it to an extreme that ends up not working really well when you compare it to a game like, idk, rayman 2. you got plenty of variety but it was still like the same game and basic control scheme rather than 'here is a racing segment' 'here is a mech segment' 'here is a platform segment'

a bone to pick posted:I don't like how GTAV's story is split between 3 characters. Honestly the only reason I only play GTA:O is you can't just be Trevor all the time I literally could give a gently caress about the other two, Trevor is the best character GTA's ever done, because there's not a ridiculous disconnect between the cut scenes and the poo poo you actually do in the games. ... speaking of which I don't know if this opinion is unpopular but I think Saint's Row IV is one of the best comedy games made in the last several years and is right up there with classics like portal, partly because it addresses this poo poo head on when the villain is pointing out how you're acting like the good guy while "you probably ran over two dozen people on your way here because you decided taking the sidewalk was 2 seconds faster than the road, and you're supposed to be the hero in all this?"

VideoTapir posted:Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 are the only good Sonic games. Another unpopular opinion: There are no good Sonic games Well maybe other people "get them" in a way I do not, but to me it always seemed like I was controlling a wild pinball through a mini-golf course of chaos, with absolutely no loving idea where my spinning blue ball of rings was going to actually land Until you hit some stupid loving jump that grinds all momentum to a halt until you can figure it out, then it's back to wild "I have no real control over this, I'm just spinning along" gameplay Maybe there was some secret to it or some real good way to play it but I never really had it click

a bone to pick posted:If games are art then Saints Row IV is a masterpiece. I can think of VERY few games of this sort I 100% completed and I totally did with SR4. Plus, if you rock a Duke Nukem skin and use gold Desert Eagles a lot, it's the best Duke Nukem Forever we could have asked for The Dennis System posted:Saint's Row? Better than GTA. What's funny is I think the switch over might happen again. They're talking about making Saint's Row 5 "more serious and gritty like the earlier ones, like the old fans wanted" which sounds loving atrocious Meanwhile in GTA you can now buy a Fallout vault and a flying rocket-spewing motorcycle Blazing Ownager fucked around with this message at 11:13 on Jun 23, 2017 |

SR2 is the best overall experience, SR3 has the coolest aesthetic, SR4 is fun for how little it gives a gently caress and throws out any pretension to sanity right at the door. I really didn't like the budget-superhero powers though. And Kenzie sucks.

All the characters in Saint's Row started looking weird after Saint's Row 2. They all looked like they were made of clay or something. It was strange.

In SR2 you trick Biker-Worf into tattooing his face with radioactive ink. Then after he kills one of your crew by dragging him behind a car, you kidnap Biker-Worf's girlfriend and stash her in the trunk of a car. You then sneak that car into a monster-truck stadium where Biker-Worf drives his giant four-wheeler over it, not knowing his girlfriend is in there. SR2 is pitch-loving-black and it's awesome.

They need to call up Mark Hamill and get another Wing Commander going. Also yeah all sonic games suck. And the superfans are all terminal dweebs who universally have 3 fursonas each, so that's a bad look for the franchise on top of the lovely games.

There only legitimately great Sonic game is Sonic 3 & Knuckles. The rest are memorable for music if anything but are otherwise no better than your average Double Dragon game. Classic yes, timeless no.

The stygian wormhole of existential terror and abject horror that is the Sonic fandom is the only thing redeeming everything Sonic related from 1994-2010 when Colors came out. Throwing pennies down that well gave me more enjoyment than Sonic 1, CD, and Sonic 3&K did. I actually think 2 is pretty well-designed considering.
