i came to poo poo on botw, i think the game shows its cards after about 4 hours and then its all bland

i don't give any fucks about blue puzzle rooms, I hate going into them and they are so easy that i get no satisfaction from them and they're basically the whole game

I know it's cool to hate on Minecraft but some of the weird poo poo you can build with redstone actually owns.

alternatively, spending your time coding things in side of video games is crazy lame

Are you a game dev? Crazy respect if you are.

Or if you mean making things in in game builders, it's just a mechanic to gently caress around with.

no, i mean you should just play normal video games and not learn the children's redstone coding language to build things in the children's game

skyrim is so devoid of actual gameplay i don't understand how people play it and keep their brain occupied. i think it may have the single worst combat of any video game, I cannot think of a game where fighting is less satisfying. The dialogue is all just retards gawking in your face all glitchy like and none of them have anything interesting to say, just dumb boring viking bullshit. Mods are for dorks, just sell me a good video game out of the box.

The Witcher 3 is worse.

not even close

witcher 3 is a slightly awkward batman system, skyrim is just mashing the attack button over and over in the dumb skeletons face or casting super unimpressive spells that don't look or feel good

unpopular opinion: witcher 3 combat is kinda fun when you work out how the game wants you to play

..not really. What made that game special was the way it used video game conventions as part of the narrative, then ripped them apart.

The "gently caress yeah! Blow 'em up!" minigame turns horrifying when you realized you left screaming dying civilians everywhere.

in spec ops you only climb down the whole game, you only go down deeper and deeper, the layout of the world doesn't even make sense, its small details like that which also make it a cool game

i think the books are full of tits and stuff, it would be untrue to the material to leave out the tits, and also naked ladies are definitely part of fantasy books for a long time

witcher 3 does a pretty bearable job of presenting an adult relationship with his main woman Yennefer

Anyone who thinks video games are art and then thinks the Mario games are the pinnacle of video games needs to get their head straightened out.

Mario is the antithesis of art. He's a little squeaky piece of poo poo. Mario games always boil down to tired 'save the princess' plots that have literally nothing to do with the game design. Yes there are art elements in terms of music and the level design, but that is similar to the paintings on Settlers of Catan pieces or the text on Cards Against Humanity cards.

Mario games may be good games, but to consider them art is a problem. Especially when people in this very forum will laud Mario games but admonish games like...say...Battlefield 1 as 'bro' games when they at least try to show some kind of pathos towards soldiers at war.

To call Mario games art is to call a rubick's cube art. There is nothing on Mario that evokes any kind of emotion at all.

its about the levels and the jumping you total retard

I've played the original Max Payne more recently, and i didn't play it as a kid, that's an awful game. Fuckin HATE THAT poo poo. But you know i bet if i had been into it back then i would be jizzing all the gently caress over it just like I do Everquest

this is dumb and bad, max payne is super playable today and always has been, the bullet time and shooting are really well balanced and fun, its much more fun than lame cover shooters

everquest had a great world to explore but the gameplay was awful even then, i remember my friends laughing at me when I showed them how you fight

these shadow of war games are so stupid, they are mindnumbingly easy in every aspect, your character is super silent stealthy one hit kill unstoppable muderer and the combat has the lowest skill ceiling ever, these games must be designed for people who have played less than 10 video games before. The orc system is dumb and unsatisfying menu driven crap and these lovely unscary orcs just ramble standup at you for like 20 seconds before you can fight them, every cutscene is nearly unwatchably terrible and the protagonist is just lol

You can get some real pain in the rear end orcs that aren't easy at all.

i just beat the game, they can be annoying but they aren't hard in the way that like, a bayonetta bad guy is hard. they're just irritating because 80% of your moves don't work, which is just dumb and unfun.

dynasty warriors games have way more going for them than mordor

its like, you fight a tough orc, and he's immune to being hit, so you stun him, and if he's immune to being stun, you vault stun him, and if you can't do that you shoot him in the head. But like, all of these things are equally easy to do and are all autopilot so it doesn't matter which of these moves I have to do.

also its ridiculous to be both super speed and super stealthy but also a super murderer in combat. Like what's the point of anything.

And people say the lootboxes don't matter but i guarantee i would have gotten a lot more legendary set items if they weren't there

witcher combat was pretty okay once you got used to it, it just took a bit to get a feel for it

its not amazing combat but its better than something like dragon age 2 and 3, and skyrim's combat is among the worst ever.

a gaming laptop is already the same performance as a console and is actually portable, and if you're a kid you probably have a desk somewhere where you'll spend most of your time gaming, if not they have these things called HDMI out nowadays

theres no way youd get the same performance from any gaming platform as you do from a console, show me this gaming laptop that can play games that look anything like Horizon Zero Dawn or Uncharted 4 smoothly. Lmao you'd need to pay at least twice the cost of a console for a gaming laptop that plays games decently at all

that is literally twice the price of a console, which is what i said in my post, i said you'd need to pay twice as much money.

Whoa this guy sure does love brown and grey games. None of those games look as good as Horizon or Uncharted, you're wrong as heck. Gears of War lol at those characters and enemies. And Tomb Raider is just an lamer looking version of horizon with much worse gameplay. You pc gamers are just starving for games.

Are you sure that you aren't just overestimating what a PS4 can do? Because it's hardware was outdated even when it came out and it really doesn't take much to run modern games at 720p 30 fps, especially if you consider that the Non-Pro PS4 can't even keep stable 30 fps in a lot of games.

i don't think any ps4 games run at 720p, sometimes they run at 900p but not that often

watch out this pc gamer speedrunning maniac is coming at you at the speed of light, Only the most difficult games that require the most difficult speedruns for this guy, keep those baby games away

i never said "unquestionable superior" you nerdo, thats something a pc game master race loser would say. I just think consoles have some advantages and its not as "objective" as you the pcgamer circlejerk claim

You should probably work on reading things and digesting them instead of just shrieking about your personal issues with the PC master race and speedrunning.

i understood, its just the fact that you actually consider speedrunning, like it is something in your head and something you think about as a possibility that is the actual embarrassment, you are clearly off the deep end when it comes to video games.

like your weird thing about mario being for babies is really funny, like other video games are more suiting for an adult or something, i've seen an 8 year old beat GTA 5

Regardless of whatever is causing you to lose your mind about Speedrunning it is actually complex and takes some degree of effort. So saying that a game can be played at that level by a child is an accurate way to say that it is easy.

I'm sorry speedrunning murdered your parents or whatever.

no dude a dayjob is complex and takes effort, speedrunning takes time and an autistic degree of determination and time wasted at something so meaningless that your brain doesn't process priorities correctly
