If u think about it the people talking about differing opinions in a purposefully controversial thread are the real weirdos.

Elentor posted:This thread, the "unpopular" videogame opinions is the one safe space for rancid negativity about games. The place where we can truly be safe to talk about how garbage all of those lovely games are, maybe argue with each other even. A safe haven amidst the chaos of people going "yay I preordered another garbo AAA game" where all we have is our angst. Complain not about your fellow posters, but about the lovely games they play. You are either with us and posting about how much you hate mobas or against us and posting how much you love guardians of the galaxy

I even learned to like posters I didn't like before like Duck and Cover because of our shared unpopular videogame opinions. DnC you're ok in my book now. Truly making GBS threads on videogames is the great uniter.

Personally I'm still reading it for bad Disco Elysium analogies. "It's like a book but with legs that runs around the room and you have to chase it down to read it. If I wanted to chase books around I'd read a jogger's t-shirt."

Anyways this thread simultaneously has some of the best games conversation and the worst games conversation so whatevs I think that when games are recommended to people it'd be better if people had a general acceptance of separating artistic merit in terms of design, story, mechanics or whatever from the technical execution of the end product. We all understand that poo poo already, we just say cookie-cutter triple aye or whatever, and it'd be silly to actively try to get people to adopt this and describe games in terms of these axes, but I think that would be a much more convenient shorthand. 3D Megadoodoo posted:e: But if someone says they hate a Fallout I will FIGHT them. I hate Fallout 3, especially knowing that Van Buren was headed by Josh Sawyer until Interplay shuffled off. signalnoise fucked around with this message at 08:41 on Dec 22, 2021 |

I don't like any choices in games, including who to shoot and what guns to use. Remove it all. Play it all for me.

Beartaco posted:Disco Elysium is a game where you get a game over because you missed a 90% dice roll causing a small child to swear at you and now your character is having a mental breakdown. Alternatively sometimes you just game over for no reason, such as after examining a gear box in a car, or making a phone call to the wrong person. No dice roll required. The game also only autosaves every half hour or so so I hope you like quick saving after everything you do. I never had a single game over.

And not just Fallout either, Bethesda Studios keeps making their fans drink piss through a straw and they just keep begging for more People like wandering about looking at things. I'm currently replaying FO4 for the first time since release (I hated it) and I'm having a great time just not giving a gently caress and walking into every dirty hospital or leaking sewer pipe I see so I can read stories about skeletons who hated each other and then take the skeletons whisky and duct tape. Skyrim also has a plot that sucks and characters that suck and a levelling system that sucks and combat that sucks, but its a low pressure way to have a bitesized, low stakes bit of exploration before bed or whatever. I'm not necessarily celebrating that, because it's setting the bar incredibly low, but I get their popularity and Bethesda is kind of good at that god-king walking simulator thing.

Elentor posted:Gamebryo It really does seem like games just stopped advancing technologically with the PS2/Xbox/GCN. The graphics have gotten a little better but to such a small degree that new games exist on multiple generations of console. Bethesda can literally still run their games on the same engine they were using four consoles ago.

This thread is generally pretty cool but tbqh I'm not a fan of the petty tribalism crap.syntaxfunction posted:I like Bethesda games because I can just explore a bit and have fun. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. The comparison I always make is to the dumb, simplified D&D games kids play. You go in a dungeon, you stab some monsters, you get cool loot. Repeat. Why? I dunno, there's an evil wizard or something. It's basic power fantasy stuff.

Even though Lacuna left me with some choices I wasn't allowed to make, it was a better mystery game than Disco Elysium and the sheet system should be cribbed for future games.

It's a sort of poo poo implosion that Bethesda releases games so slowly, relying on a rose-tinted memory of exactly 2 IPs, and are so scaffolded by mods, that the perceived value of their games is pretty much always based on work other than the game itself. In the case of Fallout, they're relying on IP clout from before they even acquired the IP

Waltzing Along posted:I never had a single game over. Every time I've tried to play it I've had multiple game overs after running out of morale within like the first hour. There's probably an efficient way to restore morale but I sure as poo poo can't find a way to stock up. Those items cost money, but you don't start with any. The only way to get money seems to be to to steal it from the sleeping dude at the bar. I hope I beat the 50% dice roll though, otherwise I'll lose 1 morale, my character will break down about how life is so unfair and it'll kick me back to the last time I saved: several very long conversations about politics ago.

And I seem to recall a statistic going around that most people, if they do install mods, go for minor QoL tweaks rather than huge overhauls or w/e.
