Actual unpopular Mass Effect opinion: There was more to that game than the ending where choices actually mattered. There is no way there could be an ending that would be considered "good" by most people. They already fixed some of the more severe issues in a patch anyway so stop whining about it. On a unrelated note, people also seems to forget how lovely Mass Effect 1 really was. Shooting is bad, side content is boring, the RPG part was never any good.

I loved the multiplayer in ME3 so much that I pre-ordered Dragon Age Inquisition because it was going to have a similar multiplayer, but holy poo poo it was so not as good. I also ended up playing like 90 hours of Dragon Age Inquisition and that game is terrible. Apparently a huge number of people thought it was good and gave it high review scores but it's all bad and I played enough of it that my opinion is valid.

Is there a bigger self-own than putting huge hours into a game you know isn't good? I ask this as someone who spent the summer of 2015 grinding away at Assassin's Creed Unity.

I think its a pretty misconception that because someone puts alot of time into a game you shouldn't rule out their opinion. It comes off as really shallow. Tell you the truth they may know more than you know because of it. You gonna trust the guy who played the game for 2 hours and only played the refined intro to mystify the morons or are you going to trust the guy who went through the pain?

Bholder posted:Actual unpopular Mass Effect opinion: Actually it wouldn't have been that crazy to make an ending that makes sense. Some parts of the ending are actually kind of neat--the idea that the thing the galaxy can use to defeat the Reapers is a superweapon that has been worked on by advanced species throughout several cycles is really cool, like those species cast a light into the future and just hoped that eventually someone could end the cycle. It's just that everything beyond that is extremely stupid and their eventual patch didn't really address the stupid parts. For example, they really didn't need multiple actual endings. I don't think anyone would have minded if the core of the ending was always "Shepard and his comrades destroy the Reapers" and then the things that changed based on your in-game decisions were in the ending slides after that. Given that quests during the rest of ME3 were decently reactive to your choices in ME1 and 2, that doesn't seem like it'd be all that impossible to implement and I think it would've been much more satisfying than "pick a color, two of which only kinda make sense and one that doesn't at all" Tenzarin posted:I think its a pretty misconception that because someone puts alot of time into a game you shouldn't rule out their opinion.

He's not saying he doesn't trust the other guys opinion. He's saying that if you find yourself playing a game you dont like, going 90 hours into it is, "oh god, stop" levels of self abuse.

People also self-awarely watch a lot of junk TV and nobody really cares about that. DA:I was pretty trash in many respects, but there was enough to it to encourage you to sink some time in. Hell, I might have even completed it if The Witcher 3 didn't come out and make me just drop it and never look back.

I played it on 360 when it first came out, no cheat engine for me  I actually really like the combat system and the endgame--those were the parts I liked. The first like 70% of the story (and the ending, in which the characters abandon all reason and change their minds at the drop of a hat) and all the grinding sucked but the core gameplay is quite good when it really gets going.

FTL was an okay game, but the fiddly combat that often relied on eking out a victory by controlling your 6 pixel high crewmembers was not what made the game good. Video games in general have neglected the one distinctive feature and advantage they have over other media: interactivity. You mostly control how quickly you experience a linear story. Sad.

Not to justify my 90 hours, but I didn't know it was really bad until I finished and realized how much time I had wasted dealing with all the little side content that ultimately meant nothing and the end to the story that I realized I didn't care about and wasn't good. It was getting all sorts of positive reviews and so I thought there must be something more to it and pushed through but at the end I just felt like an idiot. I honestly might have enjoyed it if it was a more compact game. e: I was enjoying parts of the game while playing it, I wasn't straight up filled with hatred from the get go, that all came after I finished really, but it was enough that I feel comfortable saying that the whole game is garbage. dudeness fucked around with this message at 20:21 on Jul 13, 2018 |

I don't mind the idea of getting spotted=giving you a harder time. I just think the whole "get more trivial grunts so the area becomes prolonged" is a super lazy and annoying approach. Have the guys on high alert, have them put body armor on or launch missiles at me I don't care. Just having some guy run off and ring a bell to get 10 more of the guys I just killed sucks.

Speaking of stealth, whatever happened to the Splinter Cell series? The game's were huge two generations ago, to the point of rivaling Metal Gear in popularity. Now...

My biggest issue with the AC3 ending is that nothing has really come of it. The fundamental issue is that Desmond can uphold the Assassin ideals and let the evil pseudo-god stay imprisoned, safeguarding mankind’s free will but at the cost of the vast majority of humanity dying out only to have the cycle start anew with some future iteration having to face the same issue, and he chooses to free her and save the world, and break the cycle, banking on the faith that his friends and allies can finish what he started and stop her too. Then over the next few games she hides in the internet and tries to take over an interns body and fails before disappearing almost completey until Ubisoft announced they were quietly going to wrap that up in some comics. So. Yeah. It makes the ending much worse in retrospect knowing that the whole plot just goes nowhere.

Funny as hell and can be completed in like an hour. I would also recommend Stranglehold from a few years back, but it's about twice as long as it needs to be. The level where you blow up all of the islands around Hong Kong is 8 million years long. P.S. Zelda III is the best Zelda game, gently caress this lame 3D poo poo
