Dragon's Crown is a good game and it's a shame the thread for it on the games board never took off because of goons dog piling it to prove how not sexist they are.

Yep, this is the worst opinion in the thread.

Also, you're equally obsessing over the "objectification" of literal polygons. Just as bad as the nerds that sexualize it in the first place.

I really wonder how many of these people are going all Claud Frollo over polygons.

I'll have you know I'm a woke gamer who only enjoyed Automata after spending half a day adjusting the camera setting not to accidentally sully the experience with unsightly upskirts of video game butts

I was hoping to find some battle buddies in it but it was just a bunch of brave boys rallying against cartoons tits and asses. Game I enjoyed a lot though it becomes a slog of a grind by the end game.

Hey man, Nier is a transcendent game Adjusts camera for a sick upskirt of 2B that speaks to the nature of existence.

Anyone that's played the game knows you don't have to adjust the camera and just self destruct her skirt off.

You either have enough time to play games or bitch about poo poo in them that has no effect on gameplay. You can't do both. This is the criteria I generally use to find reviewers who aren't loving retarded.

It's also why AVGN is still relevant after 10 years of buffalo diarrhea jokes and Jason Schreir got called a soyboy who loves burly dwarves by a japanese artist who worked on DC despite trying to be a "real games journalist".

Seeing people fawn over Nier Automata (still) is loving sad. Its like star wars, a cool fun time that i enjoyed then moved on with that a certain subset of geeks latch on to and treat with this extreme reverence. Its loving sad when its a movie about spaceships and light swords but its borderline pathetic when its an alright videogame with overtly sexual themes that pander to the audience.

The next stinking nerd that goes on about 2B being the greatest games character ever should be made to go vegan and take up running. gently caress off with obsessing over toys made for teenage boys. Jesus.

The original? People hugely exaggerate how bad it is more than anything. It's just a very mediocre action RPG with some neat ideas that don't really come to fruition.

You are probably thinking of Drakengard or just have been listening to too many memelords.

Bionic Commando 2008 is a genuinely good action platformer/third person shooter that was marred by a lovely storyline and unnecessary tonal shift from the first game. It getting slammed by journos for not being an open world game and expecting them to learn how to swing well didn't help either. Also the soundtrack is fantastic so it's a shame it was the death knell of the bionic commando reboot project.

This isn’t the correct opinion thread.

Look if you can point me to another game where a big fat dude with a pot can air juggle 50 dudes for an hour alongside a pretty boy with feather fans that shoot lasers and tornadoes I'll happily switch.

I liked Nier (and Automata) but they're definitely more about the story, setting, and music than they are about the gameplay.

I think you're talking about Bionic Commando 09 and not ReArmed from 08, right? If so, then I agree, BC09 is one of my absolute favorite games of the PS360 gen. It loving rules, and has the best swinging of any game ever made, not to mention great music and phenomenal level design. Additionally, I loved that the story was an over-the-top 80s action flick and had zero issues with whatever tonal shifts might exist.

RIP Grin.

Imo they shot themselves in the foot by making the protag the most generic looking video game dork ever. It may very well be an awesome game that I should play one of these days, but angsty looking white dreadlock guy made it so immediately unappealing.

It came out just when people were really start to hate that style of character design and people really liked that they kept the 80's cheese in REarmed. Just seemed like having the game star some gears of War reject was a super misguided move.

There was that whole period of game design where everything was blotchy brown and bloom and every protagonist had to be a grim brown haired white guy who communicates entirely in scowls and tepid one-liners, or maybe has a mild racial stereotype sidekick to deliver one-liners for him. Dudebro games basically. Which caused everyone to somehow conflate nerds with dudebros despite that I remember nerds were bitching nonstop about it the whole time.

There was a weird dissonance in 09 where spencer would be a lot more hammy/less grimdark in game than in cutscenes. I'd have to hunt it down but I recall reading an article where it's stated that capcom pushed from dreadlock spence.
