ALEINS ATTACK! holy poo poo the worlds exploding! you're in a 50s sitcom parody! you're in a matrix parody, butt-naked! you're destroying everything with a giant robot!! you're flying a spaceship while 80s power pop plays! Yeah, rocketing through a spaceship in my power armor to The Touch is a pretty tough moment to beat

It feels like Saint's Row and GTA have gotten into ruts (Agents of Mayhem seems to be basically discount Saint's Row reflavoured slightly) design and gameplay wise and don't really take advantage of the sandbox anymore. Instead of a playground it becomes a list of chores. There's some real potential in a proper open world supervillain game. Have yourself activate various gimmick modes like freezing over half the city or turning everyone into monsters/heavily armed lunatics that try to kill you and play cat and mouse with superhero bosses across the entire map.

veni veni veni posted:I wish crafting in games would just go away forever. I wish survival games were an extension of what "survival" used be in games, surviving the game with limited resources ala Resident Evil. That is actually fun. Do you consider stuff like enchanting in Skyrim to be crafting? I like that type of "crafting", but the "collect 500 different pieces of random trash to make an arrow for your bow" type can go gently caress itself. CrRoMa posted:Its just so loving dull, if someone said "please create me a game simulating cowboy life circa 1900" its perfect but as a fun videogame that makes me want to play and do things it is useless. it's the culmination of what Rockstar has been working towards in the past twenty years. Boring stuff that might tell a story or something so it's great

I used to despise crafting and considered it to be the most rank nerd poo poo ever. Then I picked up No Man's Sky recently and I get excited about finding a planet that's rich in copper so I can feed it into my portable refiner so I can get some chromatic metal to feed my warp drive. The game has broken me. So unpopular opinion: No Man's Sky is good as hell and a loving technical miracle that made a terrible first impression because Sony forced the Hello Games guy to go on the Colbert show and tell lies about what you could do. Further to Red Dead Redemption, it has led to one of the funniest YouTube thumbnails I've ever seen.  Just imagining all the YouTube clickbait parasites who made a living from GTA5 trying to get their 12 year old viewers hyped about a loving horse drawn buggy is the best.

Youtube is the worst loving thing to ever happen to games. Years ago if you were stuck on a puzzle you'd google it and find a gamefaq or someone asking for help on a forum that you could ctrl-f and find exactly what you needed in 15 seconds. Now you have to go to youtube and skip through a 10 minute gameplay video to find the 5 relevant seconds in a wasteland of some self-serious retard talking to himself to fill dead air I can't even imagine what kind of broken person would actually sit there at a computer and watch another person play the game for them for 10+ minutes when they could be playing the game themselves, but I'll save the twitch rant for another day

Breath of the wild has awful mechanics and controls, the world is too large and too empty. I dont want to just poo poo on it too aggressively but it is far and away the most overrated videogame i have ever played. 97 on metacritic for god sake. C'mon now. Its a good videogame but an awful Zelda. I've played games I've loved, games I've hated and everything inbetween but nothing has gave me that feeling of really? Is this it quite like Zelda.

Agents of Mayhem is like someone mixed a MoBA and Crackdown together and then cut the budget so none of it works, it is not a Saints Row game. The unpopular opinion part is its a way better game than the last two GTA games and Red Dead 2 combined

joedevola posted:Red Dead Redemption 2 is boring. red dead redemption 2 i find fascinating - here's a story: there's one mission where you go bear hunting. you chase down the bear, it almost mauls your friend, the mission ends. i decide to keep going, find the bear, and realize i don't have a bear gun equipped - so i'm like gently caress it and just unload with my dual pistols into the bear's face. the bear goes right through the bullets and pins me down and there's a huge elaborate scene where you get mauled - i manage to survive with a completely empty, flashing red health bar. i skin the bear, load the massive bear skin onto my horse and decide that my first priority is to get the bear skin to a trader - i get on the road, and i see a woman pinned under a broken wagon. I stop the horse, unpin the woman and save the day - she's limping a little bit, but is otherwise OK. She asks if I can take her to town, and my first instinct is to be "sure, get on my horse" - but my horse is already too loaded from the bear skin, so i have to pick one - the woman or the bear skin. i almost loving died for that bear skin, man. i tell her she needs to hoof it, and i watch her start limping off towards the nearest town. i get the bear skin to the trader and sell it! woo! now what's fascinating is that the above paragraph was not that interesting to play. i was riding around on my horse just travelling for at least seven real-world minutes, and the fight with the bear and finding the woman was obviously scripted, and frankly i did not enjoy galloping around on my horse praying that i wouldn't die. in fact, the experience above sucked total rear end. is it a brilliant game? yes. do i appreciate the deliberate design decision to limit fast travel in comparison with GTA/other open world games so I waste my time hoofing it around? nope.

Twitch is the main source of entertainment in my house. Its not so much that i find others playing games to be my favourite as much as its fatigue at all the awful tv shows people invest themselves in. Mad men was boring, breaking bad was boring, game of thrones was boring, stranger things was boring. Westworld was offensively boring. All these shows have no substance and almost zero reason to care or be compelled from episode to episode. Utter tripe.

At least with video you get something unambiguous and obvious.

Particularly the dreadful American version which takes the 14 episodes of magnificent British humour and inflates it to 200+ of slapstick shite because god knows Americans need another 100 hours sitting on their fat cunts stuffing junk food into their faces laughing at their tv with glazed eyes.

Didn’t have time to read the whole thread at work but.... Monster Rancher is more interesting than Pokémon and Digimon and should have been the winner among those franchises, earning all the money in the world. Monster Rancher is also cooler than Dead or Alive, for that matter, and deserves all of Tecmo’s time and resources.
