I think this is because of the move to physically based rendering, and yeah it sucks. It drives unity, unreal engine and others. Everything is shiny, everything has a diffuse glow to it and now all 3d games have that hazy post processed look to them. Every surface is just way too shiny, bumpy and fuzzy whether its spyro or battlefield it's all just a soupy mess.

Oh, I don't even mean that (although yes, that), but more like, first person shooters all look like first person shooters, there's a visual language goes with them. And, like, fine, a lot of it is because it's evolved and proven, but look at hotline Miami. It's not an immediately obvious "X-clone", and it has a style very much its own, to the point it basically kick started a sub culture. Maybe what I want is a modern art equivalent in games.

i mean yes because getting a cigarette put out in your eye is better than dota2 but what

Its a mod for Dota2 that turns it unto a multiple round short srpg ish game with some bidding elements. No actual relationship to chess.

For the record roughly a million people play it on steam versus the sub 1000 of valves own spinoff of dota

The opening of MGSV is so bad that it sapped my will to play the rest of the game and despite loving the rest of the series I, like Hideo Kojima, didn't bother to finish the game.

MGSV was my first and so far only game in the series. I bought it after seeing some stream play and thinking it looked really cool. Going through the opener, I worried I had made a terrible mistake and thrown my money away. But I fell in love with the game as soon I got let loose in Afghanistan.


So yes, it's a real bad opener and I don't think that opinion is unpopular.

I have some good news and some bad news.

The good news is the first two paper marios are similar enough to Mario RPG and charming enough to carry you to the end despite their quirks and changes. The bad news is that the franchise just miserably nosedives in quality after the first 1.5 installments and the last 3 games arent going to scratch the mario RPG itch because they were redesigned to remove the core gameplay that people came to paper mario for because???

I genuinely don't get how someone who likes SM would not think Prime 1 is a good game.

Fusion and Zero Mission too. They weren't as good as SM but they were pretty great, and they refined the movement and feel of SM pretty well I think.

I still have Samus Returns in my backlog, but tbh that fan-made Metroid 2 remake was probably the closest thing to SM I've ever played, it was amazing.

It might be a good game but it's not metroid. real metroid games are 2d

By that logic virtually everything Nintendo has ever done post SNES doesn't qualify as "real" and the only ones that do are the kind of lovely ones like NSMB. And also A Link Between Worlds I guess, but that's a remake. That one is loving incredible though.

Prime hits every note that super metroid does and does almost everything even better. It's very much metroid.

Do you get paid for being wrong or something? Nintendo frequently publishes new 2D iterations of their classic titles, Metroid Fusion came out long after the SNES stopped being a thing
