Unpopular Opinions about Video Games

[Korpon]

Def Jam fighting games wouldn't work today. Like can you imagine faggots like Da Baby fighting Lil Nas X?

Here's how you could do it: OGs vs. the Newfags. Let me play as DMX (RIP) and throw Da Baby out the ring into some fucker's car, or play as Ludacris and break XXXTentacion's back with actual good music playing. Damn I need to replay those games now that I think about it.

The music would be corny compared to the underground scene of the 2000s.

genuinely speaking, i'd pay top dollar to play as guys like Flayva Flav and being abe to whoop XXXTencion or Da Baby's ass on the spot

I'd love to have a Def Jam style game but with actresses.

The Diablo series is shit. It's little more than a Skinner box with nice aesthetics. The plethora of trap builds is just bad design, and mindlessly farming for loot that makes you OP isn't interesting or smart. It's a way of rewarding people who have nothing better to do with their time. I is bad, II is also bad, and III is still bad. People should be glad the last game came out on mobile, because really that's where that kind of trash belongs.

Might be closer to biggest bullshit than unpopular opinion but I really hated how Diablo 1 is unplayable if you want to use melee weapons because of machinegun archers that shoot you from offscreen, enemies that surround you and turn into acid puddles when dying, and the mages that teleports from outside your reach. I've enjoyed the game for what it is, but it's really bad design to offer 3 classes and then make one useless.

Also for the loot, it's been really annoying having the weakest bow in the game for hours simply because no enemy would drop anything better and the blacksmith wouldn't sell better bows either. I got tons of strong enchanted swords in the meantime. Randomness can be cool if you get nice surprises but it's mostly crippling. I dunno about Diablo 2 or 3 though.

I played Titan Quest (aka Diablo 2.5) and the loot seems so insignificant.

You COULD grind 3 hours for a item that synergizes with your build, but once you level up a bit, the stats from most levels completely powercreep your current items. There's no way to up/improve a legendary item to carry up on higher levels, or craft a new one.

What's even the point of loot if it's just a static DPS boost?

I didn't really enjoy V, I just felt like I was going through the motions with it and had seen everything before. I was impressed with IV at the time though.

Thats because IV was a technological leap, still is to this day. The jump between IV and V wasnt that great...tho I dont think V's graphics are anything to laugh at.

I prefer the MK9 female costumes over most of what Mortal Kombat females wear nowadays.

Its so bizarre people talk about skimpy outfits and male gaze when, 1) You have a lot of shirtless males in the game AND series. 2) This series isnt meant to be realistic at all, its all meant to be hyper stylized action and gore.

Who gives a shit to what a sexy female is wearing when she is kicking my sorry ass with a big ass combo? And then looking pretty once she wins?

I dont know, MK females were always great and engaging characters to me and their costumes were always on the skimpy side (Kitana and Millena's first outfit was literally a leotard that shows their legs and arms)

It just feels so stupid when people give a shit about this, in series about hyper violence and senseless gore. Maybe it was weird for Sonya to wear something like that but most of the other females were more than fine to me, they are from another dimension after all.

Pretty sure they did it to shield them from the Evil Male Gaze.

Have you seen how the females look in the latest MK?

No wonder people go for Guilty Gear Xrd over MK.

Almost all fighting games relay on power fantasies and exaggerated unrealistic action...because its fun and opens a lot of possibilities.

Besides, MK literally had an in-lore reason Kitana, Jade and etc look so good, they are Edenians, who are practically demi-gods so of course they look the peak of human appearance and they wouldnt be ashamed to show it off.

Shao Kahn literally is kind of almost semi naked in the games.

Remove the helmet and shoulder pads and the guy is pretty much wearing an armored loincloth of sorts. Did we ever see any guy complaining about how he looks? Guy is literally a fucking god, of course he is going to look muscular, powerful and want to make you look at it before he smashes your head with a hammer.

I guess what I am saying is that we have muscular and even skimply dressed men in games and yet I dont see anyone raising a fuzz over them and yet the females wear something somewhat revealing to show their gorgeous but powerful figures and suddenly its "wrong" ? Dude, its a fucking game and a hyper stylized one at that, its not meant to be realistic.

Now you rarely see any females daring to show a simple cleavage (its mostly Sindel now and we all know she is MK's barely disguised milf fetish character now. She used to have more depth under Midway)

Hell, I recall someone saying that the villainess of MK 11 couldnt be bare feet because that would be too much "fetish fuel" apparently...

The fuck happened with this franchise that literally built its identity on "We doing whatever the fuck we want and you boomers cant stop us" ?!

I can't recall if this was true or just a rumor but supposedly the creative director for the recent Mortal Combat games is a middle aged married gay man which is a possible explanation for why all the male characters are near nude and the female characters are essentially wearing burkas.

That could be it, or at least a factor, but I blame it mostly on the cultural shift and Warner Bros itself (not that Neatherrealms is blameless in this).

Ever since they bought Midway, MK have been forced under new standards. Perhaps those standards didnt set in yet with MK 9 so they were able to get away with so much (and the culture was still one where you could get away with that) but in the years between MK 9 and X, there was this cultural shift and a lot of fingers were pointed at Warner and N.Rs over their female designs.

The usual "they look so unrealistic/like sex dolls" for MK 9 and "they look like men/they havent figured how to make women look like women" for Injustice 1

I never minded how they all looked, I simply was too busy enjoying the fucking games to pay attention to shit like that. That was the hint that the people complaining about this shit werent real gamers because real gamers simply didnt care if the game was fun.

Then MKX came and the changes already started. It got worse with Injustice 2 and how the females just looked so weird, especially the faces...a few patches helped minimize that but it was always there.

Now MK 11 happened and Im like "I miss when you were all hotties..."

long story short, it was a cultural shift from the outside forcing WB into forcing NR to have these changes because they dont want to piss off female """gamers""" and journalists.

Is there even a reason Elden Ring isnt called Dark Souls 4? I mean, from what I have seen it is pretty much another DS game.

I knew absolutely nothing about Elden Ring prior to its release other than it was the hotly anticipated NEW game from From Software. I finally saw video of it the other day and thought there must be some sort of technical problem because they were clearly just playing footage from one of the Souls games.

Even the look and function of the interface is identical.

Shit maybe all Ubisoft needs to do is drop the Assassins Creed and Far Cry names.

Not good enough, the harlot's still wearing heels and has parts of her arms & legs exposed.

But really, I'm sure those women feel more respected as they get pulverized and disemboweled by shirtless hunks.

If you care about shit like the male gaze, you truly werent playing the game, at least not for real.

I for one was too busy to care about Shao Kahn kicking my ass for the 20th time to care about how his pecs are unrealistic and I should complain about it.

Not only that would make me gay but would show Im not really playing the game

Wow it's almost as if those people complaining about these things didn't play/care about video games at all and only wanted a quick boost of fame.

Yea... I remember when Anita was complaining that Mario saving a princess was literally the worst thing ever.

Her complaining about Princess Peach has no merit when she was part of the party in two RPGs and had her own spinoff where she saved Mario & Luigi from Bowser. If only she bothered to take some time researching her topics instead of making kneejerk videos, at least she's lost a ton of relevance over the years.

To be honest, I never liked most of the designs of the MK girls because the majority of them look like bimbos that took too many steroids and got illegal bolt-on breast augmentation surgeries on some third world country. One of the most glaring issues is how small both their waists and hips are so most end up with a V shape figure with small asses and long abdomens with shitty leg to body ratios.

If they wanted some atractive female designs with muscles then they should've taken some lessons out of George Kamitani and how he drew the Amazon for Dragon's Crown or the main artists for the Street Fighter games from 0/alpha onwards, Chun-Li has always looked good in most of the games she's been with the exception of MvCI (but everyone looked bad in that one).
