Fartbox posted:Bioshock 3 wasn't very good either. Weird and lovely story with mediocre gameplay. I did like the disney princess you got as a companion but the rest was TURD The only thing unpopluar about this opinion is generously praising the gunplay as mediocre. Nobody likes Bioshock3. vvv Major game "Journalists" will give a 8/10 to any festering stillborn abomination as long as it's an AAA title. When was the last time you saw them give a 3/10 to a major new release, even if the player base shat all over it the second it was released?

Look man, in 2017, do I need to spell out games journalism being a worthless venue for shills to stroke off corporate masters in exchange for review copies? Bioshock:Infinite received good reviews from big magazines and everyone who played the game agrees that it’s overdone and dry.

Gamergaters devolved into racist and sexist garbage nearly instantly, but they weren't wrong that games journalism is crap and would greatly benefit from an overhaul. Of course games journalism has always always been crap. Ifyou're over the age of 13 and not using critical thinking about glorified toy ads... Well your parents and community dropped the ball. Hard. And blaming some women you don't like is the height of pathetic.

So apparently I have to bring up yet another actual unpopular opinion: I liked Bioshock Infinite! Maybe it was because I marathoned through the other 2 Bioshocks that I was totally sick of the underwater theme and how libertarians are stupid hypocrites and shooting racists in a flying city felt like a breath of fresh air. I also liked the gunplay and how you could zoom around the map using rails. Too bad the devs had no idea what game they wanted to make so it was a confusing mess and it just shat itself near the halfway point. Unfunny Poster posted:Divinity Original Sin 1 & 2 are way better RPGs than anything Bethesda has made. This is true, that is why Bethesda is not making RPGs. They never really were.

While I was growing up, PC Gamer UK (the magazine!!) was amazing. Over time, review scores began to get a bit dodgy, but the words were on-point, so I guess it was a kind of malicious compliance. Most of them moved on to found Rock, Paper, Shotgun which is still probably the best review site out there, even if I don't really bother with reviews these days generally.

Online reviews have basically the same problems, only with way more Op-eds from anyone willing to put the work in. That said they're super easy to ignore because it's a loving hobby and that hobby makes too much money to go away or stop being fun just because a minority is rightfully or unjustly complaining. Then there are still so many guys stupid enough to be salty and lovely towards girl gamers for the heinous crime of being female, which doesn't make sense for so many loving reasons  .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5n0MOAfelSI

I think kinda sorta liking Dragon Age 2 is probably my biggest gaming shame. There's quite a bit about it I don't like, but there's enough that intrigues me enough to play it on occasion.

I cannot for the life of me finish the bioshock infinite DLC. The story has long since crept up it's own rear end and who knew getting stealth gameplay right in an FPS was hard.

On Metacritic the user score is 8.6, and on Steam user reviews overall are “Overwhelmingly Positive” with recent reviews being “Very Positive”. Now I’m sure that all those reviews are bought and paid for, because it obviously couldn’t be that people did actually like the game.

I think criticism of Bioshock 3 is understandably a bit overcooked because it's a massive triple A title, with concomitant massive budget and expectations. The game itself was generally solid and polished because of said budget and massive team, but there are so many niggles and things that could have been done better that they all sort of come together to poison the experience. People looking for a colourful environment to shoot people in, with a mock-deep plot, won't have been remotely put off by the game. And that's most of the audience in FPS gaming. Everybody I know who's played it has a sour taste in their mouth about it for one reason or another, but almost all of them completed it regardless. For me, I hated the way the difficulty channelled you into min-max and had almost no latitude for creativity. They keep throwing you cool new tonics, but most are a waste of time. Enemies are bullet sponges and ammo is limited so you wear your headshot pantaloons and bowler hat and use the most efficient tonics. I distinctly remember getting the power Undertow (or w/e it's called), some kind of Kraken-y power like 85-90% of the way through. And the weakest level just knocks people over. So then maybe it's better to just play through on easy and mess around with all the powers, but then there's no challenge whatsoever, which I don't really enjoy either. Don't give me cool powers if half of them are just balanced to be trash, game.

Confronting mechanics like THAC0 was bigly exercise for my developing young mind and part of why I'm a world renown genius today!

Nintendo did basically everything wrong possible in the build up towards it and survived on its branding, IPs, and some good contributions by Rare to have the modest success it did. If the PS1 had a standard 4 player port layout and maybe a better processor the n64 would have died

Enter the Gungeon is bad, even for a roguelike. I hate it when randomized games do that "HAHA We know you got a rocket launcher as your first chest last time but this time it's a joke weapon that's useless and will keep you from getting anywhere on this run HAHA" thing.

It feels extremely lazy and looks waxy and sterile compared to the really pretty low-res poly stuff you'd see on PSX. There was a huge influx of cel-shaded games for ps2 as well around that time and yeah it seemed so ugly by comparison.

Metal Gear Acid was cell shaded and it looked... alright. I remember it was touted as one of the ways you supposedly got around lovely graphics during the PSP/PS2 days. Also metal gear acid was good. Strategy card games on the whole don't do as well as they should.

So you hate random chance? Have you ever gambled? The worst modern roguelike is The Binding of Isaac since it's simple as poo poo and gives you overpowered combinations every run. A chimpanzee could get through it and it spoils all of the giant manchildren who giggle at poop humor who now expect every roguelike to be a reward response simulator where you are gently guided along a ticker tape parade to the finish line.
