hawowanlawow posted:probably not very unpopular on this forum, but selling keys to open randomized crates is a shameful practice and a black mark on the industry. this opinion is really only "unpopular" with publishers and certain developers. most people hate that poo poo, not just here but in general

hawowanlawow posted:I mean, it's wildly successful because publishers realized they could cram the model into a bunch of already wildly popular game franchises that people are going to buy anyway. people aren't buying those titles for the loot crate poo poo, the loot crate poo poo is in there because a large enough percentage of people will keep buying those titles - even while complaining about the loot crates - that its profitable. or was, maybe that's finally starting to turn around a little bit

Elex is the best contemporary post-apocalyptic open world rpg yes the voice acting is poo poo and its got some wonky combat but its still way better than fallout or any of those zombie/survival games

No idea if it's good but it sounds fun the way they talk about it. i played it not long after it came out and it was very boring. i heard they added some stuff to do more recently though. but black flag is definitely a better pirate game

Generation Zero is a pretty good game i kind of get why it was poorly reviewed because there are some annoying bugs and it certainly has that "unfinished" feel but there is a lot to like about it

Waltzing Along posted:BotW, otoh, I'd rank 4th worst or worst in the series. Depending. 4th worst in that it isn't plain bad like SS, PH or ST. But worst in that as a Zelda game, it fails miserably. It's the only Zelda game that doesn't feel like a Zelda game. Change out Link and Zelda and Ganon and swap them with Larry, Zoe and Gary and it's just an open world game that is done really well. The open world shines. The Zelda aspects are total garbage. i dont really get what you mean by this. "a zelda game" is a game about a little dude named link who runs around chopping up enemies with swords and exploring stuff and thats exactly what botw was? the only other zelda games ive played are the very first one and link to the past, and botw just felt like a more modern (tech wise and world design wise) version of those games. where is the failure? i mean its also true of the very first zelda game that you could swap the characters out with larry, zoe, and gary and its an open world game (circa 1986) done very well. and i wouldnt call zelda a failure as a zelda game since it kind of invented the whole thing.

Caesar Saladin posted:I can't get over how bad Rage 2 is in nearly every aspect except the way the guns feel. The objectives, the driving, the open world, the voice acting, the enemy design, the enemy AI, the loot and progression system, it might be the worst video game that I've played in years, it feels like a weak effort for the 360 era even. i used to be a big fan of the just cause series but avalanche really hosed that one up lately so i knew not to bother with rage2 even though the trailers looked kind of cool

Chomp8645 posted:But this is like, the developer directly and unambiguously lied about objective things like "the game has multiplayer". wait what? i dont remember the kingdom come devs ever saying that, i only remember it being talked about as a single player rpg even in early days. there were some broken quests at launch and a few people lost save data but i think saying "thousands of people were hosed" is a bit of a stretch

i dont mind rockstar style controls that much it just takes some getting used to. i actually liked the driving in gtav i just started playing a game called american fugitive which is basically a modern take on the original, top down gta but set in the deep south in the 80's, its pretty great so far

ultrafilter posted:Which games can you count on your audience having heard of? With movies and popular music, the audience isn't terribly fragmented, but the audience for video games is much less concentrated in the top sellers. That makes criticism at more than a superficial level very hard. the audience for popular music is extremely fragmented and to the point where definitions of "popular music" are themselves inconsistent and divisive

Lambert posted:So you think Sony is to blame for the developer getting carried away and lying about what features the game has in interviews? i suspect sony strongly pressured them to release the game way earlier than they intended and quite likely pushed them to lie about what features were going to be ready to ship with the game. if the game had been released as a $20 "early access" title where it was clear that a lot of features like that were still in progress, none of that mess would have happened. or at least way, way less of it Lodin posted:If Sony had let Sean whatshisname say that the game was in early access there wouldn't have been half as much brouhaha. Just say that multiplayer is coming at a later point and most gamers would have understood. Obviously that would have let to less sales at launch but it would have saved face. yeah this... except i wouldnt really agree that its a "great game". theyve added many interesting things including most of what was promised, but its still a "mile wide/inch deep" kind of experience and imo once youve seen a handful of planets theres not much point exploring the billions of others because they all look more or less the same

Malcolm Turnbeug posted:Completionism in video games is a mild form of mental illness and belays an attitude that games are simply collections of tasks which completely undermines any attempt to make games actually more enjoyable lol some people find completing tasks enjoyable, and i dont think thats an "illness" in any sense at all since the result, outside of video games, is poo poo getting done. i enjoy games that are vaguely job like, such as the aforementioned Truck Driving simulators, except without the stress of real world consquences when you gently caress up by crashing the truck or whatever

Malcolm Turnbeug posted:I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how we spent literally tens of thousands of years exclusively exchanging our culture verbally via rote memorisation and now that part of my brain is pretty much entirely made up of Simpson’s quotes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Burns,_a_Post-Electric_Play quote:Shortly after an unspecified apocalyptic event, a group of survivors gather together and begin to attempt to recount the episode "Cape Feare" of the television show The Simpsons. The second act picks up with the same group seven years later, who have now formed a theatrical troupe that specializes in performing Simpsons episodes, with commercials and all. The final act is set an additional 75 years in the future. The same episode of The Simpsons, now a familiar myth, has been reworked into a musical pageant, with the story, characters, and morals repurposed to fit the artistic and dramatic needs of a culture still reeling from destruction of civilization and the near-extinction of humanity decades earlier.

someone should make a game for xbox 1 that is a flight simulator where you just fly around google earth with all of the 3d buildings etc that are in google earth i know google earth itself, on the computer, has a super basic lovely "flight simulator" thrown into it but thats not what i mean. i mean something like the latest ms flight simulator, but with just google earth at its highest res instead of having to patch together a bunch of scenery packs and all that crap. and on the xbox 1. thank you

Lambert posted:You're not going to get that, modding and having reasonable input options with plenty of keys are a very integral part of the sim scene. It's PC or bust. i know. this is the unpopular videogame opinions thread. my ideal flight sim is basically 100% the opposite of what "the sim scene" wants and im well aware of that. i just want to fly around on a very detailed earth on a big screen. i really dont need to simulate an instruments only landing in cessna during a thunderstorm, though that would be a plus but im happy to attempt it with an xbox controller

ive never tried vr personally and most of the vr-specific ive seen look dumb conceptually, but the idea of playing forza horizon in vr sounds incredibly awesome and if it were possible and affordable to do so i totally would. or euro truck for that matter. seems like it would be terrible for fps games and im not into the kind of puzzle games that seem popular for the medium, but for driving games and flight sims it seems like it could be great
