DICTATOR OF FUNK posted:bethesda games bore the gently caress out of me; the longest i've ever made it was skyrim and that was like a collective 20 hours of gameplay Skyrim is what made me so reluctant to play Fallout 4. It's ridiculous how much they've nerfed, oversimplified and generally dumbed down the franchise where you could once fly, climb sheer walls, bash down doors, rig your own trial so a massacre goes unpunished and cast spells big enough to fry entire towns. But now you get dual wield! And there's dragons! I swear, if the next game is just another you're-the-chosen-one-gotta-kill-the-dragonking I'm not even going to bother looking at it. Just consign it to the dustbin like fallout. vvv yeah, that's the long and short of it. phasmid fucked around with this message at 06:35 on Feb 14, 2017 |

basic hitler posted:i hope bethsoft licenses a Fallout spinoff to Obsidian again, because the gulf in quality between F3 and F:NV was frankly loving ridiculous. The worst part of F:NV were the things they couldn't get rid of from F3, like old assets and the game engine itself. Yeah. Obsidian of all companies made the best Fallout. The only thing I remember really detesting in that game was that mountains were often unscalable. Oh, and cazadores.

The games industry is deliberately trying to stem the tide of good games because they don't want to raise the bar. If they were truly innovating, we'd be seeing some amazing stuff. But the groundbreaking stuff is watered down or shelved and committees of "gamers" and suits now decide what constitutes a good game. They want to do to games what Hollywood did to movies: lower the bar, appeal to the lowest common denominator. One day only a few of us will remember actual good games and everyone else will be playing beautifully rendered tripe with mediocre voice acting.Cough Drop The Beat posted:Women are well-respected in the general video game community and receive no harassment ever. If they played more than glorified fantasy dating sims (like DA2), they would have more respect. Instead they cry when people threaten to kill them online, which is a tradition older than battle.net.

There hasn't been a truly good stealth game since Thief: The Metal Age. Yes, I am counting both Dishonored games and the pitiful "stealth" engine in Deus Ex: HR and probably any other game you could mention (including you wiseacres that might mention the terrible Thief sequels). Bethesda's stealth systems were never as fluid or sensible and usually just felt tacked on to justify the stealth stats. But it's been like twenty loving years and if somebody was going to beat it they would have done so by now. CaptainSarcastic posted:Alien: Isolation is a crappy game that was bafflingly popular. Amnesia in space, except you can run past most of the grunts.

Unpopular opinion regarding achievments: I hate that the stupid monkey-retarded reward center of my brain lights up like a 4th of July barge on the Mississippi whenever the top left of the screen says some poo poo like "Lock'n'Load 6/10 (slay 10 warrior-bugs with a shotgun)". It snaps me out of the game and reminds me what a retard I am for playing it. Then I play it some more.

Mahuum Aqoha posted:There's never been a good zombie-centric game. Not even Zombies Ate My Neighbors, I hated that as a kid. The closest one for me was Dead Island and even that was a painful slog most of the time. There was an Apogee game from the early nineties called Monster Bash, which heavily featured zombies. They would explode into gore and their eyeballs would fly everywhere if you shot them with a slingshot. The object of the game was to save puppies from Dracula. It was the bloodiest children's game I can recall and that is why games today are 99% poo poo.

Bust Rodd posted:Unpopular Video Game Opinion: This is the 2nd time I'm bringing up this franchise but it is completely baffling to me that in 2017 so many games get voice acting so very, very wrong when the Soul Reaver: Legacy of Kain games just knock it the gently caress out of the park and these are 15-20 year old games. I do miss those games. It's a shame they lost direction since the first Blood Omen, but your take is spot-on. Professional voice actors kick the poo poo out of getting ordinary actors to read parts. I can maybe see putting somebody with a very distinctive voice (e.g. Martin Sheen) in play, but if they're just movie actors, all putting them in a game is supposed to do is drum up sales. There are occasional exceptions: I didn't care for Mr. Blond in Red Dead Redemption but thought he did a great job as Daud in Dishonored. One of the other funny things was on PS2 Soul Reaver 2 had an outtakes reel which was mostly just goofy filler, but there was one part where Michael Bell and Simon Templeman (sic?) were doing a readthrough and Bell just starts laughing that Templeman has to read three pages of dialogue and says "Poor Simon. He has to read a novel and I just give him a prompt. 'And?' 'He did what?' " I miss Kain. gently caress you, Eidos. gently caress you for bringing aliens into a vampire game and so much more. drat horror queefs posted:Fact. That's a bold claim, mister.

Rutibex posted:bethesda needs to stop trying to tell stories. their strength is creating big fantasy world simulations, not linear stories. i put many hundreds of hours into the elder Scrolls games going back all the way to Daggerfall, and i have never bothered to beat a single one of them. the "main quest" was always the most boring aspect! They'd sure stand a better chance if they dropped all the chosen-one b.s. that basically redounds to a depressing, fatalistic world. In the words of Creeper, I don't want to work, I just want to bang on my drum.

I don't think RTS is dead. It's just sleeping until we get back more of the fun, unpredictable chaos back instead of "balance" mostly decided by vocal tournament dorkwads who want everything so fine tuned they know whether to zealot rush or stalker rush. As basic hitler alluded, competitive multiplayer took the fun out of SC. It was plenty competitive before, with the trash talking and the win/loss ratio but nope, now we gotta kowtow to the South Korean kid with an average APM of 175. DotA and her myriad clones are trash for babies who can't macro.

Play on a really big map. That makes people have to adapt their tactics. People with their build orders and rush strategies down pat hate bigger maps because it puts more units in play and changes it from short game to mid-long game. Why do you think all the SC2 maps people play on are perfectly symmetrical things where your enemies are right across the lawn from you? Games with bigger, asymmetrical maps encourage more dynamism.

Dear god how am I remembering this stuff.

cool new Polack jokes posted:I was impressed by the original Half Life if in real time, but consoles were a great equalizer. Not every family had a computer, or if they did it wasn't necessarily a top of the line rig- many were relic word processors (or at least our parents told them they were only for work). So it was to their advantage to give us our own machine to gently caress around with so as not to interfere with whatever Grownup Business they had going on. Plus, a dedicated controller, and essentially the guarantee that nothing would go wrong- whereas a fatal exception or a BSOD was usually cause for a talking to for screwing around with the Expensive Work Machine cool new Polack jokes posted:I will Super smash you you loving bitch fruit on the bottom posted:Wolfenstein, bitch.
