Unpopular Opinions about Video Games

[Whoopsie Daisy]

Not having a map, a diary and a pause button in a game doesn't make it 'harder', it just makes it fucking retarded. I can write on a piece of paper in lieu of a diary, so why remove the diary? If I can't pause a single-player game, which I play for fun, to attend to some IRL shit, you're game has failed.

April Fools Day needs to be abolished. It is the one day out of the year where people will let companies shit all over them and thank them for it. It's such a bizarre holiday for Gamers especially because a dev will come out and say "Hey kids, you know that thing you've been wanting for several years? Well here it is...NOT April Fools!"

It's refreshing to see companies go more mask-off than usual, though, and show their true contempt for fans.

The Dues Ex battle pass

I'm so glad this series is dead now.

 

[The Last Stand]

The Dues Ex battle pass, allows you to skip the grind! etc etc.

There was a season pass for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. The worse part of Mankind Divided was their "pre-order augment" program, where the more people pre-ordered, the more options they would have to include with their pre-order. Sorta sounds like a Kickstarter incentive. Pre-order bonuses are lame as it feels like they're segmenting what's included in the game for extra money.

GTA VI is going to be shit.

Yet it will still be heralded as GOTY upon release and make infinite money for a decade like GTA5. In fact, because of the general increase in players within the gaming market and the dearth of competition, I predict it will outpace GTA5's revenue by a considerable margin.

Also, a leading question rather than a take, was Witcher 3 actually good? I remember that everyone glazed it around its release but when I was watching my friend play it, it looked quite mid.

Witcher 3 is a dog of a game, barely a C level action game with busted, strange decisions in mechanics that make the game insanely easy. It's got better writing than the netflix show, and the performances are ok. It's a real moviegame, its got zero value as an open world adventure game and maybe 10 bucks of movie value. Or zero, it's not hard to pirate

 

[Agent Abe Caprine]

I enjoyed Witcher 3. Wouldn't call it the greatest game ever, but my two playthroughs were enjoyable. It helps that I was already invested in the Witcher 1 and 2's story.

Picking Witcher 3 over Bloodborne on 2015 was the point of no return for this industry.

Bloodborne is Playstation 4 exclusive which probably pissed off the souls crowd?

I did not like Bloodborne.

 

[Canoodler]

I did not like Bloodborne.

Me neither, but it was far better than Witcher 3.

 

[Wesker]

I tried easily half a dozen times to give Witcher 3 a go and turned it off being bored.

 

[The Ugly One]

Me neither, but it was far better than Witcher 3.

I enjoyed Witcher 3 after I beat my head through the opening hours, which is a common enough issue with RPGs. BloodBorne never stopped being tiresome.

I think the collapse already happened, not in terms of financial collapse but rather a collapse in ideas and thoughtful games with interesting mechanics and that work from day 1. There's not going to be another game like the OG Deus Ex when COD 1488 NIGGER KILLER DIVISION can sell millions at 90 dollar

To be fair, if COD 1488 NIGGER KILLER DIVISION was released, i'd probably buy it for the title alone

 

[WULULULULU]

2015 was either between SOMA, Elite: Dangerous, Bloodborne, Witcher 3 or Undertale. Yeah I'd rather take Bloodborne than the rest of the games back then.

i'LL be hoenst, I really liked the Witcher 3 when I played it, didn't finish it, and I kind of agree. The combat wasn't exactly a draw, I wouldn't say ANYTHING gameplay wise was a draw, it just had really good stories for what it was. Most of the time.

It was pretty and not totally hacky. (Bloody Baron's wife/lubberkin story make me cry)

Witcher 3 really shines in its DLCs, HOS and Blood and Wine are excellent.

 

[Quijibo69]

Bayonetta games are better than the Lara Croft games.

This is so but the games core systems are just fundamentally mediocre. I think the game would function better as a TV show, just not the turd that we got. The story and look and performances are what people remember, which is good for The Witcher Franchise (tm) but bad as an assessment of witcher 3 the game. ALSO CDPR fucking can’t launch a game to save their lives

I thought the combat was more fun than any Bethesda game. I liked getting gorked out on various drugs to go win a tough fight (I didn't run any kind of meta build, I just went with what seemed cool).
