saying something is bad game design is still very much an opinion though, saying only 'real' artists can comment on art is approaching real gate-keeping rhetoric to me. i think i get what you're getting at but it would be like saying you needed an imdb credit to talk about how ugly army of the dead is

The other thing I don't really understand is the impulse to jump into a conversation between people who like a thing to be like "actually, that thing's bad." Honestly that probably works in reverse as well, like there's little to no value in jumping into an ongoing "thing bad" discussion to try to convince people that thing is, in fact, good, but I do that far more often than I should so I can't exactly judge it too harshly  Looper posted:having read the first twenty or so pages of the sekiro thread i disagree I will make an exception for circumstances when it's funny

Like if you want to talk about what does and doesn't work in a game for you, that's one thing. It's when it gets expressed in language that attempts to be authoritative and objective, with people making proclamations that "this thing I don't like is just plain bad game design and it should never be done" that it starts rubbing me the wrong way and I usually just duck out of the discussion then.

Simone Magus posted:I have no idea why Days Gone gets so much heat around here. Like yeah the characters are goofy, like in all video games ever, but if you actually play the game it's like, made with genuine passion and not just another cookie cutter game, which is ironic of-course because it's an open world zombie game if days gone isn't cookie cutter to you what on earth is?

I think if you're going to say something is objectively bad game design that's fine but you should at the very least be able to back it up with supporting points and poo poo and not just fire off hot takes like it's Twitter. We have the luxury of 50,000 characters per post rather than 280, use them to explain why you don't like things at the very least. Or just talk about poo poo you like instead

also saying dumb poo poo is even more incentivized now because people might quote it and you get to see the extremely pleasing your-quoted-post color in dark mode

I post a lot of really critical things about games but it's almost always about games I really like. If I'm really into something it's fun for me to think critically about it and speculate about ways it can be improved, things like that. If I don't really like a game that's usually when I just kinda shrug and move on.

I like most games, but there's usually a lot of self-selection with what I buy and I played Days Gone as a PS+ freebie when I wanted to cut down my spending

Hell I wish I was funnier about it too. Want to post in a manner where people think about playing games I like, so we can talk about cool and good and fun and interesting things. Like Anodyne 2.

I like to play Assassin, Magick Archer, and Sorcerer on my way there.

I don't have a need to talk about monster hunter good or bad because the fights take way too long to retain my interests, I can't really critique specifics. I could write an essay on things I'd like to improve about library of ruina, my game of the year, because I've actually played that.

People who get caught up in hating something is very amusing to me. Like seeing people in a game's thread that claim to have returned the game 9 months ago but also post 4+ times a week about how much they hate it is funny. Seeing people come into a game's thread two years after release to post 'game is bad' and see they have pages of posts saying the same thing since day 1 is funny. Don't you dare take this from me.

Oh also, for that matter I hate when games do the whole "the stat ups you gain depend on what class you're playing" thing and Dragon's Dogma has that. Like, I know I could just play the game as whatever class I want and get through it just fine, but there's a voice in the back of my head going "But Arzaac you're wasting stat points why aren't you levelling as Assassin for maximum attack?"
