Im glad my instant dislike in you has been validated again and again.

Well, this is the unpopular videogame opinions thread.

I personally think Prey is what the new Deus Ex should have played like and what Dead Space wishes it was.

agreed to an extent. I loved the gently caress out of the first dead space game and sorta the second. i want to like prey. i think its great game but the whole "twist" makes me kinda hate it because it makes everything pointless.

I've noticed a lot of Games forum posters tend to react much more strongly to flaws in otherwise good games than I do. Like that whole thing with Doom 2016's cutscenes. There's maybe eight total minutes of "conversation with NPC that happens while you're not actively running around and/or shooting things" in the entire like eight-hour game but this is treated as an unforgivable sin and everyone who claims the game is light on story is a liar.

Incidentally, this tends to make people assume I hate games that I criticize. I've posted some about things I wish I could change in Breath of the Wild and it usually leads to at least a couple people posting some variation of "when did everyone suddenly turn on BotW?"

Goons are not entirely without mercy, for example, we were savage to the early Killing Floor 2 development and everyone generally thinks the game is good now

Prey is garbage, only steam game I've ever refunded. Combat feels bad, gunplay is bad, the idea of "exploration" and "world building" is really just "read boring emails about characters that are uninteresting on computers". The mimics were a cool concept but not fun to fight against. You mostly walk around picking up useless junk until your inventory is full.

I thought the intro was cool, but really didn't see what the hooplah was about. Granted I only played it for 2 hours but I had seen enough.

lol ok

also 'doom has too much story' is an opinion I've seen exactly once, a few posts up from here

Some goons are brimming with mercy. We've had infamous staunch defenders of games like No Man's Sky or Sea of Thieves lol. Just people screaming into the wind that criticism is trolling.

They aren't typical though.

Definitely true. But I think that has less to do with change in attitude than it does the proliferation of online play and available guides/stats. I think 90's gamers of whatever would have done the same poo poo with access to same technology and internet resources.

I honestly think I agree that in most genres of game, pre-2000 games just do not hold up to their modern counterparts. Only a handful are even still worth playing on their own merits.

I played many Genesis, PC Engine, and SNES games for the first time a few years ago and found them far better than most games today.

The gameplay is actually better a lot of the time since the game's don't hold your hand.

I mean OoT is a great example. It's forever lauded by the generation that grew up with it as still one of the greatest games of all time, but by modern standards it's hopelessly simplistic and not interesting or remarkable in any way.

Platformers are one of the only genres worth playing. Shooting things with guns in first or third person is boring and dumb and people who enjoy those games suck farts out of a plastic bag.
