Also I still think Duke Nukem has a place in modern gaming, full HD 3d remaster of Duke 3d with matchmaking dukematches would be fun as poo poo

this generation doesn't know the fun of having your opponents run into tripmines, them shooting at a fake holoduke, shrinking your opponent and then running around trying to squish them, and freezing them before shattering them

i love hiding and sneaking carefully around a group of clickers while my followers run around frantically bumping into everything each other and the clickers themselves but not getting attacked, really helps with the immersion

That is not something I would consider "core gameplay". Also, would you rather have the AI ruining your stealth poo poo instead? Try playing it on survior or grounded and you'll see how nuanced and versatile the gameplay is.

What makes you like them? Genuinely curious. I don't hate them like a lot of people do but I find them completely unnecessary and not especially fun.

I like the interaction they add to cutscenes. My thing is though, I prefer when failing them doesn’t lead to death, just to a different, maybe less optimal outcome. Like if you miss it it makes the resulting fight slightly harder or w/e.

I think shooters just need more inventive weapons and gadgets back

It's crazy that military sim garbage became so popular and remained popular for so long. Every gun is basically the same except the rate of fire on THIS gun is 10% different or whatever

Give me gravity guns that fling players around or freeze rays or shrink rays or player guided rockets and stuff

That's much harder to implement effectively, whereas you can make "tactical shooters" with two real classes of gun, OP and garbage-poo poo, and be off to the races.

Unpopular opinion: Tactical shooter quality can be judged overall by whether the shotguns are a good choice or not. If they're not, the entire game is trash.

The New Super Mario Bros games are mediocre platformers at best. They're actually probably a little below average tbh; this is coming from someone who's played perhaps thousands of 2D platformers. I played NSMB1, NSMB2, and NSMBWii. The fact that so many professional reviewers rate these game highly has created a huge distrust of all game reviewers for me.

On a more positive note, if you want a great modern 2D platformer then try Freedom Planet or Sonic Mania.

As much as I've heard (and made fun of) gamergate from these forums, I still know nothing about it. I love video games but make a point to stay away from the internet gaming community.

Edit: OK maybe I've played hundreds, or just dozens of platformers. I probably exaggerated a bit; it's my favorite game genre and I've been playing them for ~25 years.

I don't know if this is unpopular, but Odin Sphere Leiftrasir is a masterpiece and easily one of the best games ever created. It's a shame more people don't talk about it.

dummies who say its bad have never played on high difficulty or played the multiplayer

its a legit solid game with good mechanics, and the decision to make it mostly about semi automatic weapons is genius

I wanted to buy a new graphics card today and I heard about the gpu miners driving up graphics card prices and I thought it was a joke or it would only be like a hundred bucks at most

nope

1080tis are like 1200 to 1500 when they came out at like 800 and dropped to 700

people wasting graphics cards to burn electricity over stupid bullshit

With Dunning-Krugerrands wildly inflating GPU prices at least I get to feel smug satisfaction that the video card I bought last year is currently selling for twice the amount (or more) that I spent for it shortly after launch.
