Ok lets try this hot take. The Fable games were fun. I enjoyed the unique humor and feeling of the world immensely. Their only crime was short length.

Lukewarm take. The Fable games we're generally well received, they just never lived up to Molyneux's hype and lies.

The Risen games are more entertaining than the Elder Scroll games. Or in other words, Piranha Bytes games are more interesting than Bethesda games, by a huge margin.

Level scaling enemies and loot was a mistake.

I played a few hours, Risen is unpolished trash in a cool sounding setting

Which is more than Elder Scrolls games tbf so I’m not necessarily disagreeing

Research confirms that black is a color like silver is a color, and that beyond black is clarity.
First Person Shooters peaked at Wolf ET, a truly free game.

Baldur's Gate 1 is an honest-to-god bad game, and 2 is middling in quality with a mix of both solid and terrible writing. Basically any games that saddle you with a bastardized pen-and-paper system like D&D are awful.

The Witcher 3 has a lot of great stuff going for it but the combat isn't one of those things. It's complete dogshit.

The Batman Arkham <Insert Noun Here> games are rhythm games for people that like cape poo poo. Very little depth despite a great presentation.

The Game of Thrones PC game is actually really good and way better than that misery porn deserves.

Gaming as a whole probably peaked at Hammerfight.

Torchlight 2 is probably the most boring Diablo-like ever made, barring Torchlight 1.

Elder Scrolls Online sucks because of it. I was giving it a whirl and got bored because everything was easy as gently caress. So I was like, “sure, fine I’ll just go to another, harder area”. Turns out basically every area was the same poo poo with the enemy models swapped out, thanks to level scaling.

You had an enormous continent of samey bullshit, even more so than other MMO’s. What a waste.

The Telltale game of thrones game? I only played the first ep but it definitely seemed like trash to me, does it get better?

No, there was one produced by Focus Interactive.

I guess the full name is technically "Game of Thrones: The Role Playing Game." I'm not into that choose-your-own-adventure stuff that Telltale likes to call games.

Accurate. The best thing about Risen was all the nostalgia I felt for Gothic 2 when playing it.

I don't think thats really that unpopular, Doom 2016 was super good, but it doesn't even hold a candle to Titanfall 2.

torchlight 2 is ok for what it is. diablo 3 is the overhyped arpg to end all overhyped arpgs. 10 years of development for an unfolding disaster at launch and a squib of a fixing up job.

Okay, here's an actual unpopular opinion (apparently).

I thought that Witcher 3's combat was quite enjoyable for the whole 200-something hours.

Only on these forums have I run into the apparent consensus that it's bad. Like, it's not blow you away fantastic or anything, but for me it was solid and pretty fun too. It could be a classic case of many goons needing to git gud. Still blows out of the water the real-time combat of like 90%+ RPGs modern or old.

Yeah, it's ok imo.

My opinion is that Enderal is the best Skyrim by miles. I'm like 50 hours in and it nails the difficulty curve, makes money meaningful, and has a really solid well-presented plot with largely excellent voice acting.

There hasn't been a single good arena shooter since Unreal Tournament 2004. There have been decent games since then which happen to be arena shooters, but they all have severe flaws and completely inadequate degrees of customization and modding potential. If Overwatch's class system wasn't so tight, its garbage map design (seriously, fire every single map designer at Blizzard who's worked on OW) and terrible game modes would be more obvious flaws.

Example: what was the last game with a decent CTF mode? How about a good CTF mode?

The best thing about how Doom Eternal looks so far is all the new movement options, which will push it a little closer to Titanfall 2

Though it probably won't have levels as cool as Titanfall 2 does.
