STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl and Morrowind are two of the worst games ever made. The fact that no one plays them without mods that massively overhaul core mechanics is proof of this.

STALKER 1 is perfectly fine out of the box. The sequels are straight up broken garbage that require mods and fan patches to be playable for more than a few hours before fatal crashes set in - I think you couldn't play Clear Sky out of the box because there was a 95% chance you wouldn't be able to leave the first area. Like, you had to complete everything in the first area, then go to the exit and hope you were allowed to leave, or else you had to start a new file and repeat. Quality.

Morrowind is old as gently caress and needs patches because people had tiny square monitors back in 2002 and 1080p is nice to look at, and if you're doing a bunch of fan patches you might as well add some mods to make it look more modern. It was a fine game out of the box when it came out.

True opinions: Oblivion's quests are better than Skyrim's quests, Oblivion has better combat and magic, and Oblivion's voice acting is better than Skyrim's.

The FPS genre has gone downhill since Hexen.

People who get into "retro games" and can't play them on an emulator or Raspberry Pi 3 are weird and goony. Cool having tons of old plastic poo poo and a giant-rear end TV in your house because your bitch-made-rear end excuse is you can't enjoy games properly without an old controller. LMAO.

Total Annihilation is the best RTS ever*. It's at least 10x better than StarCraft, and 100x better than any of the C&C games.

I also agree with that goon who said that Crash Team Racing is the best Kart racer.

*When it comes to gameplay. SC has the better story, but who plays games for story?

xenosaga iii took the series to being better than xenogears in almost every way. final fantasy xii was the best final fantasy since ix. castlevania (the first one) is a clunky piece of poo poo that hasn't aged well at all. sonic the hedgehog 1-3 and sonic and knuckles kick mario's rear end. rayman 2 is better than mario 64 and banjo.

dark souls games are very bad and i worry for the mental health of those who enjoy them
call of duty is totally fine
zelda from oot on has been absolutely miserable
sierra's point-and-click adventure games were better than lucasarts'
icewind dale was more fun than baldur's gate
mechwarrior 2 was better than mercenaries
the witcher 2 wasn't hard at all even prior to any patches
final fantasy 8 is the best one
world of warcraft is a wonderful affirmation of life
super mario sunshine was loving great
