Comfy Fleece Sweater posted:Stop posting popular opinions here What qualifies as an unpopular opinion amongst goons and the general public is basically night and day and op never actually clarified what they were going for with it. Basic bitches love Blizzard and their crap games. More appropriate thread title would have been "Dump yer worst shitposts here and see if they start a slapfight or a circlejerk"

All my opinions are authentically homegrown. Like the only good Megamans have both a dash/slide and a charge shot. The hoverskates count, gently caress you.

Away all Goats posted:Yup. The most popular map on SC/BW was Big Game Hunters, a map famous for giving every base a chokepoint you could easily defend, a close natural expansion and more resources than a standard starting position would give you. The most common way of playing this map was 4v4 AI. People loved just turtling in their base and teching up to the late-game capital ships and attack move throughout the map. There are probably more people that played the game setting than have finished the campaign. Yeah Supreme Commander rules, the last great RTS.

he means $60/year but probably not thousands of hours per year like that's pretty easy to understand unless you're a grade schooler like he's playing the game for multiple years but only spending $60/year how is that hard to understand QuarkJets fucked around with this message at 11:40 on Feb 20, 2019 |

Supreme Commander was a bad game and a huge disappointment because I was basically expecting More Total Annihilation but got some bullshit game instead

Can't wait for the incoherent mess Death Stranding is going to be. Feels like I still have PTSD from the hours upon hours of cutscenes in MGS 4.

TigerXtrm posted:Mass Effect: Andromeda wasn't actually that bad. It was terrible, uninspired and filled with boring tedium. Full of generic side-quests that hop around the galaxy to maximize time spent in loading screens and uninteresting characters. All built on top of a stupid story about space-imperialists bringing civilization to the savages of another galaxy. Also, all those dumb temples that were just tedious to navigate and made no sense from an architectural standpoint.

Choice in RPGs should be limited to - what order do you want to do these things in, not - which of these mutually exclusive things do you want to do.

Do you mean like Alpha Protocol where you essentially do every mission in any order (barring a couple of small ones that you only get with certain decisions) but the story and character interactions change radically based on your choices, or do you mean like Skyrim where poo poo makes absolutely no sense because you're the archmage despite barely being able to cast a novice spell, and also you're the head of the thieves guild even though you've never stolen anything?

I meant the skyrim model is better, but these are very very different games. I liked Alpha Protocol's conversations, the way things you did and said earlier carried over into later dialogue. But my single playthrough saw like, what, 1/4 of the content they made for that game? It's cool in theory that the game is very dynamic even beyond what you might guess would be possible, but I'm not gonna play it 4 more times because it kinda sucked the first time through, gameplay wise. Branching storylines are a huge waste of effort and I'd rather they put their time and money into making 1 good story that I can pick and choose parts of that look interesting to me.

I think you're overvaluing 'content'. You probably did everything there was to actually do in Alpha Protocol in one playthrough (apart from one really tiny mission that is missable that i can think of, maybe). You're missing a few variations on a couple of fights plus different dialogue and cut scenes because it was a version of the story tailored to you. The actual gameplay doesn't change very much at all - all the missions and the objectives within are functionally identical. It's like saying that you missed out on 75% of Skyrim because you were a stealth archer instead of a wizard, fighter or naked catlady permanently off your tits on skooma

They sued because Netflix explicitly referred to the fictional Bandersnatch book as a "Choose Your Own Adventure", which Netflix had already attempted and failed to get permission to use the trademark for but decided to go ahead and use anyway.

Mass effect andromeda may be fine now but they shipped a hilariously broken game and it's EA and I decided to stop buying EA games after i got burned on sim city 2013, and I've never looked back. I might be sad if i liked sports games but i think those are poo poo mostly so im insanely free to ficking hate EA If they somehow make a game i want to play Im still never gonna pay for it.
