On occasion, people find themselves holding ideas about video games that are, to be blunt, massively different from the norm. This is the thread to post them, talk about them, and then defend them when everyone else inevitably jumps on you for it. I'll start off with a few. 1) Crash Bandicoot 1 is the best Crash game. 2) Dark Souls 2 is the best Dark Souls; DS3 is the worst. 3) Mass Effect 3 is the best Mass Effect. 4) Zelda II loving rules! 5) FF8 is better than FF6. Post yours! It's fun.

dota and associated mobas are for the emotionally and socially stunted Runescape and Maplestory arent actually that bad and the latter is now a lot of fun to play with friends!

Code Veronica is the best of the classic series. -Wonderful 101 is severely overrated by people who were starved for Wii U games imo. -Max Payne 3 is a god drat masterpiece. -Mario Galaxy 1 was better than Mario Galaxy 2. -Street Fighter V is good and I enjoy playing it very much. -Sonic 4 was pretty alright and I'm sad we never got Episode 3.

PUBG runs like garbage and is infact not the funniest thing to ever exist. Demon Souls is the best fromsoft game. The last good game by Bethesda was Morrowind.

Dark Souls is a bad game series that only achieved the level of success it has by becoming a meme about being difficult.

The last great game Naughty Dog made was Crash Team Racing. Okami is the best Zelda game Silent Hill Origins is a decent game, Shattered Memories is of a similar quality to the original trilogy just in its own way, and 4 is a slog and is the worst mainline game. The N64 was a bad console, unlike the Game Cube which was great. Doom 1 is better than Doom 2 The first two Fallouts have both aged like poo poo mechanically and I'd rather play 3 again over them. (New Vegas is still the best entry by a mile though) Hotline Miami 2 sucked Transistor felt like a bad knockoff of Bastion with no understanding of why the game was so great. Super Paper Mario is a real good game just for its writing alone. Accordion Man fucked around with this message at 09:23 on Jan 8, 2018 |

New Vegas had great writing but its exploration was poo poo. Bethesda get a lot of crap but they know how to design worlds that are big, open, and fun to explore. I kept running into invisible walls in New Vegas and it was really disappointing. In an ideal world you'd get a world designed by Bethesda and a game written by Obsidian. Or Bethesda could just shell out some money for writers worth a drat.

Accordion Man posted:The game really didn't take itself that seriously though even if it was more serious then the Mario norm because it was still quite funny. The game had fun writing with the most likable villain cast in the series. It absolutely took itself too seriously with its sappy story with garbage villains (everyone other than Dimentio sucks). Every scene that focused on the stupid butterfly was awful. Also trying to get you to care about leaving behind your party in the last chapter was pathethic; you knew they were going to come right back so who careeeeeeees. It has some good comedy moments but it also has much more drama than the other Paper Mario games which just didn't work for me at all. I haven't played it since I was a kid but I doubt I'd appreciate it more now. Probably would like it even less. Here's an actual controversial opinion though; the gameplay in the first two Paper Mario games is so basic and boring that Super Paper Mario actually has the best gameplay.

Stars! was overall the best 4x game mechanically and struck the most desireable balance between granularity and playability. Mario Sunshine was one of the best mario games, but probably isn't one of the top 3. RTS-FPS is a hella rad genre and would be even more fun if it wasn't always murdered by its own toxic communities (eg, Natural Selection, Empires mod).

Kind of on the fence here; Super Paper Mario did, in fact, take itself way too goddamned seriously, but I found that to be immensely enjoyable. Gameplay-wise, about on par with TTYD in my mind. Actually, you know what, followup weird opinion: The times that the Mario games take themselves way too seriously are objectively triumphs of unintentionally hilarious writing, but are still pretty engaging and I kind of wish they'd do more of it (TTYD, Super Paper Mario, the Storybook segments from Galaxy 1).

The writing in The Last of Us and Bioshock Infinite is pretentious garbage that people only say is "deep" because they've never read an actual book. Bioware has never made a good game. The only good games Platinum has made are Metal Gear Rising and Vanquish. (Not counting Clover as Platinum).

Invisible War may be the best Deus Ex game. I haven't played Mankind Divided, and on different days I could probably put Human Revolution in top spot, but I've played Invisible War several times and will continue to replay it in the future - I'm playing it now, actually, nearly finished. It's a long way from perfect but it's really fun. And the original Deus Ex is the worst by far. If you think Invisible War is flawed... the first Deus Ex is more flaw than game.

Tiggum posted:I never got that far, but that sounds like it would be right. You were this guy who'd beaten death so you couldn't die, but it turned out to be a curse and you had to eradicate all evil before you'd be allowed to die. It was pretty cool. Yeah, Death shows up and points out there's an infinite number of stars in the sky and evil was far from vanquished. Then you get one shot at a giger styled biomechanical alien boss.

JRPGs are boring and tedious with terrible UI. The simple act of hitting an enemy with a sword in combat usually requires way too much needless clicking and menu diving. They seem to absolutely love ridiculous amounts of menus and submenus to do anything at all. Games designed around controllers would have been better with a proper mouse and keyboard setup like god intended purely by having a real UI. Settlers 2 10th Anniversary Edition was poo poo. Somehow less fun than the original with awful floaty graphics that were worse and with less detail than the original from freaking 1996! Wolfenstein 3D was boring and unfun with all of its bland mazes full of identical rooms and corridors even when it first came out.

Sleeping Dogs is massively overrated (at least on this forum) and at best mediocre. Brutal Legend's stage battles gameplay is legitimately good, fun and deeper than is generally acknowledged. Its biggest flaw is the obfuscation of the deeper mechanics (in particular each unit's strengths and weaknesses) and lack of feedback ("is what I'm doing actually working?"), yet that simultaneously serves as its biggest strength in causing each battle to feel like utter, random chaos.

I actually agree with this; I thought BL would have been better if they focused more on the RTS stuff and less on the bad knockoff arpg gameplay.
