Guys, it's fucking 2022. Stop talking about Spec Ops. It's a 40-minute-long terrible shooter with no redeemable qualities. This game is fucking shit.

Yeah, it's 2022 and we still have people talking about Bioshock for fucks sake, which was the main reason I brought it up.
Holy Shit I'm not saying Spec Ops is good, I'm saying all these games are shit but the standards they are held to for being good are all over the place and hypocritical.

"gUyS it's XXXX stop talking about [insert thing]"
well without spec ops I wouldn't have ever heard of the black angels so there's that, even if it's just heart of darkness for the console

I like Ubisoft games and don't like Souls games at all. There's a spicy unpopular opinion for this thread
Seriously, for an AAA publisher, Ubisoft's generally pretty good. They're fun and well balanced, and generally have beautiful environments. Souls games are bland and tedious. I'm not gonna git gud at a game that starts off looking and feeling like shit. Also:
That chunky UI for items looks like it belongs in a mobile game. That is ugly as sin, and I've never seen anyone criticize it.

Pepsi Man for the PS1 should have received a sequel, and it should be ported to the Nintendo Switch.

Should've had a Joan Crawford cameo or something. Pay your respects.

I'm similar. I've tried to get into Souls games. I don't think they're bad, they're just not for me. It isn't the fact that they're too hard or anything either, I just can't get into their whole aesthetic and style.
Meanwhile, I have fun with Far Cry games. I can get people not being into them or whatever, but it's really telling that despite each game adding more gameplay onto the last, the only one ever seems to be willing to admit is "good" or to liking is Far Cry 3 which coincidentally is the one where autismos spilled their spaghetti over Vaas for being some sort of amazingly written villain (he wasn't, Mando just gave a good performance) and how the story was some great piece of writing (despite being yet ANOTHER Heart of Darkness rip off)
(to be fair though, it looks like some people have woken up to Vaas being overrated since the DLC for Far Cry 6 came out)

Ubisoft games are good in bursts. I think if you like the setting, you'd like that particular Ubisoft game.

Yeah, I was hit and miss with Assassins Creed games for this reason. Although these days I don't play them because I hate the forced RPG stats more than anything. (I'd actually think I'd like the Greek/Viking thing, but not with the current mechanics)
But thinking back, I didn't care for Far Cry 5 too much but that does probably have a lot to do with growing up in and around rural areas most my life. I still enjoyed it but I probably played it the least out of any of them besides the first one and spin offs.

At launch very few thought that though, that's what interesting. It was dismissed as a crummy dude-bro military game and flopped. It's become one of those meme games like Earthbound or Mirror's Edge, two other games that flopped but have more devoted followers than purchasers.

1 into Revelations (except 2) I wasn't into because of the setting. But 3, Syndicate, and Odyssey were great because of the different setting.
But ultimately, the towers are a turn off for me.

I've recently been playing System Shock 2 (excellent game by the way), and I realized that I actually much prefer older, lower-polygonal graphics to hyper ultra HD 4K graphics that look like real life (The Last of Us 2, Red Dead Redemption 2). Due to their less advanced hardware, older games usually had to compensate with unique stylistic design. Combined with the primitive graphics, this adds an otherworldly quality to the game which heavily adds to the immersion, much more so than if it was just another boring modern Unity or Unreal game.
Morrowind is another good example of this. yes the graphics are primitive, but it has a far more inspired and immersive style than the generic fantasy plains of Oblivion or Skyrim's cliche Viking setting

Fucking Winston Rowntree, one of the OG soy infused fags and one of the first dudes to really sperg about "much sexism in video games" and one of the most pretentious nob gamers.
That comic was what I was thinking about when people started talking about Spec Ops: The Line, but I couldn't be assed to look it up, so good job.
I like Spec Ops: The Line, but even I look at some of the fandom and cringe.
You have to cut people some slack, it was genuinely exciting when a game did something unexpected like Bioshock and Spec Ops did back in the day.
The "games as art" mindset beget Woke faggotry, but it was fun while it lasted.

Morrowind is the only game in the series to create a setting that's truly alien.

"Actually! The fact that it's generic and shit is really a commentary on the state of modern military shooters! It's really ingenious the way it demonstrates how gamers unquestionably take part in the crimes of the military industrial complex! I am very deep."

Speaking of faggotry and video games, I've mentioned how Braid's a bad game in this thread, and I remembered a Penny Arcade strip and article from when it was new that, uh, I'm ashamed to say, I took seriously at the time:
(They really do slice their comics up into separate panels now, for one of those Garfield-style randomizers that doesn't work with P-A at all)
"Braid, a game that actually matters". Fourteen years later, and Braid was a fad game that, surprise surprise, didn't matter. One of the most well-remembered things surrounding Braid was the reaction of famous Chicago-based entrepreneur and superhero-themed ejaculator Soulja Boy:
And look at this fucking post. Holy moly, the ivory tower in which Jerry "Tycho Brahe" Holkins sits:
But that attitude from that post feels like part of the genesis of these banal art games, that their creators are trying to create "something that matters", instead of a good video game. Fourteen years later, and we have a sea of games "that matter", each one indistinguishable from the next, just like every superfluous retard that truly believes they're special and unique by walking lockstep among everyone else with the exact same frameworks of fashion and dogma.
