Super Mario Land 2 is the worst Mario game by a wide margin. Compared to the first one the sprites/environments are much higher res so the view is all zoomed in and you can barely see anything ahead of you. As a consequence the level design is boring as poo poo and it's basically impossible to screw up ever, except on the boss fights maybe

Also Xenogears disc 2 is unironically extremely good.

Adding in explicitly LGBT characters does not add to a videogame in anyway. And is often used as a distraction off a poo poo game.

the hype surrounding Horizon Zero Dawn is 100% artificial and I don't believe anyone is actually looking forward to that game (except, like, video game review people who get paid to be excited about hot new tech products). Plus the studio responsible for it has never done anything even remotely memorable, so there's no reason to believe it's gonna be any less of a boring derivative piece of poo poo than the entire killzone series was. Plus its visual style hinges on 90% of what's on screen consisting of spastically jiggling digital grass and/or ponytails and it generally just looks like the video gamest video game to ever video game.

Like, these are the people who produced that killzone 2 "gameplay demo" in 2005 that still looks better than most ps4 games, why is anyone acting like they somehow gained credibility during the intervening decade???

Oh i got another one:

Pixel art is trash and i immediately discount any game with pixel art graphics and will take a lot of convincing to actually play it and even then my enjoyment will be limited because i loving hate that art style and will never think it looks good.
The coolest thing about the original Nintendos is, how they made every game in pixels art :D

I didn't like MQ the first time I played it back in the early 00s but it grew on me when I tried it again years later. The first two Legend games never did it for me even after I revisited them.

Also I just noticed I put VIII on there twice, which I blame on being slightly drunk and also not knowing how I really feel about that game because it's a weird mess and I dig the art style and the setting and the wrinkles they added to the battle system but the characters and the plot are loathsome and eurghhghgh

mass effect 1 was pretty good and it felt like i was wandering around inside a decent facsimile of a david brin novel
mass effect 2 was decent but all the new characters were shite except green assassin cancer bugman maybe, and the game itself got weaker and weaker the closer you got to the end. and the end was embarrassing nonsense
mass effect 3 was incoherent tits 'n' explosions trash and every surface in that game was highly reflective for no loving reason and that pissed me the hell off

I really wonder how the second and third games woulda turned out if EA hadn't snapped bioware up. i am positive that there were a whole bunch of meetings where some shithead with a haircut that cost money was all "what the gently caress is 'space opera'? people don't care about that. they want to blow things up and crank off"

for real this really loving gets to me. outside of the first game (which definitely wasn't perfect and felt like rear end to play when it was time to shoot stuff) that series is the epitome of patronising poo poo. it's the most cynical and shallow loving thing ever and people love it and act like it's not something for 12yos

"oh yeah so they collect people and turn them into... liquid metal and... build a giant evil human alien space robot out of them. out of the people they melted down. into human metal. it has a big metal skull and glowing eyes and you shoot it in its eyes, to kill it" MmmMmMmmMMMmm thats good Science Fiction.

Every multiplayer game should have a "I have a job" league option where if you play more than 3 hours in a night other than a Friday or Saturday it kicks you out to general pop. :colbert:
This is... actually a really interesting idea? Like I'm sure you'd get a shitload of try hard players running twink characters/accounts so they can stomp on people in that category but at least it'd limit them to playing with basic equipment only or whatever. For real I'd love to see someone try this.

its moreso that you have like twenty years of games that don't give a poo poo about the details but will throw in references to previous works because its not like they have to start over from scratch every time. the lack of any other grounding detail means that you can probably shoehorn them together into some sort of continuity if you are an autistic wikia fandom writer despite, uh, this:

when i was in high school the hotness at the time was to use websites to rip mp3s from youtube. the problem was this was before youtube had decently high quality audio so it was like a 64kbps mp3 (192k is reasonable, 320k is almost cd quality) which was absolutely loving terrible. the "cool" tech kid openly derided me for being a retard for not ripping music from youtube when i told people to just torrent that poo poo in cd quality. whats actually p funny is that guy started like actively trying to turn people against me in the weirdest ways because i was giving people hot tips on how to pirate better music
