Unpopular Opinions about Video Games

[God of Nothing]

This is literally every single Far Cry game that Ubisoft has been behind. Including Far Cry 2.

People always act like Far Cry has copy/paste gameplay, but the theme/twists are far more egregious for it IMO. At least each map is different and they kept adding new modes of transport in each game. (well, until Far Cry 6 I think where all they did was add a shitty weapon system)

I don't think 4, 5, or even 6 had a theme. Pretty much just do shit because people are doing shit. 2 was about the endless nature of conflict. 3 was the effects of that conflict on a person. I guess you can say 4 showed how both sides to a conflict can be shitty? It kind of falls flat on its face because Ajay never once questions anything he does. There is no major choice in the end. Killing Pagan or sparing him doesn't change anything and neither does killing whoever you gave your support to.

Yeah, that's the "theme" if you can even call it that. It's basically "Who are really the bad guys?"

Far Cry 2: Your mercenary buddies betray you for a case of money while the arms dealer you've been chasing the whole game is the only one trying to save civilians.

Far Cry 3: It turns out the tribals you were helping are no better than the pirates and are actually murderous savages.

Far Cry 4: It turns out that your father was a piece of shit, your mother actually loved Pagan Min and he loved her. The Golden Path are actually a bunch of crazy extremist murderers/drug dealers.

Far Cry 5: Turns out Joseph really did speak to God and you were actually the angel of death that brings about the apocalypse.

Far Cry 6 doesn't really buck the trend but just makes everything much more implied than straight up shown (probably cause feminists and troons). But Libertad clearly has no fucking clue what they're doing to run a country and Juan just wanted an excuse to fight a war.

Like I don't know, it doesn't piss me off or anything cause I never thought Far Cry stories were worth a shit anyways. It's kind of why I like the 6th one because it basically outright says "we're just killing people for fun" which is basically all the game is good for like you said. Just too bad the actual game is dogshit thanks to the weird weapon system.

If I think it's a good idea to brutally, wantonly murder all the protagonists at the end of a story, something has gone terribly wrong.

That's pretty much how FC4 made me feel but the Brody Bunch in FC3 are really not that present or all that offensive. Outside of a select few missions you interact with each two times? Unless you go out of your way to talk to them in the cave which I believe is entirely optional

Seriously the endless repetition of 'Dude your choices lead to suffering and everyone is bad no matter what dude.' is way worse. 5's retarded lesson and nuke ending completely turned me off of the franchise. 3 at least let the characters leave if you make the right choice at the end.

I actually liked the little interactions. You see how everyone's trying to cope and how Jason's slipping by not bothering to.
And oh dear fucking god, why do some writers think a nuclear apocalypse is a fitting ending? It was shit in Hotline Miami, and it was shit in 5.

The entire intro of the game makes me think "wow, these faggots are insufferable, narcissistic assholes who think they're important because of daddy's money" and then never gives me any reason to reconsider that position.

Actually, this makes me wonder

Is Far Cry 3 popular because it's the first most people play, or because it's the most dude bro power fantasy?

They nailed the Socal clique thing too well. That's just how groups of Southern Californians come across as. You'll recognize it by the pitch everyone speaks in. Fucking weird, but everyone talks in it. Some kind of social disease.

Not enough working out and banging chicks to be a dude bro power fantasy. Unironically, it'd have to be San Andreas. Getting money, pumping iron, stacking bitches, and having friends of several different races from a variety of backgrounds. Cutscene CJ's a bitch but name a voiced GTA protagonist that isn't one.

 

[Gender: Xenomorph]

Whether you think she's more or less attractive, they gave her that fucking gay animu hair.

Lol the 2nd one can't even pass.

If you cover her bottom half it looks like a very effeminate dude.

Nukes falling is like the ultimate nihilist thoughtwank. Ooh dude nothing matters and everyone dies! Wow how deep! Its the new 'it was all a dream' ending, pretentious dreck.

I dunno, they all get buck broken pretty hard come the end so I'd say they get humbled a bit by the experience.

I played 2 first and like it a lot but I still consider 3 the better game, but I enjoy the story more for being interesting and having a good time while not taking itself so seriously as to spoil the fun.

I actually wish the series had continued with the Uber realistic merc sim gameplay of 2. I'd have loved managing equipment, inventory, trying not to catch malaria as you stalk through the undergrowth. The potential was huge, but people didn't dig it.


Basically Far Cry should have been tropical STALKER.

Same. The fucking map mechanic alone made that game one of the best. Replaying it now since I'm more or less done with my replay of 3 on infamous. There's something both games do really well that's missing from the other. If 4 tried to blend 2 and 3, it could've been even better than both, but it was what it was.

 

[Cold Root Beer]

She looks in her thirties despite supposedly being a student and they got her covered up like a Catholic nun. It's a prime example of what I'm talking about, get your eyes checked. They even made her tits smaller lmfao.

Yeah, that's why I find it especially offensive. I know the point is to rub it in by making them ugly as sin, but rather than insulting my eyes, it just makes me not buy the game. Last game I bought with an ugly black chick was the original the Last of Us, and I hated it when Marlene was on screen.

People will boo you, but you're absolutely right:

Far Cry Instincts/Evolution/Predator: Best gametype (Predator) & extremely good map editor. Bonus points for split screen.

Far Cry 2: Best online community and Better map editor. Extremely good custom maps. Negative points for removing the Predator gametype & no split screen.

Every Far Cry after these may have had decent campaigns but who cares. Most missions come across as a filler chores with trillions of waypoints on the map. No different than Skyrim or Shadow of Mordor. Sneak combat is fun but doing the same mission 50 times is not. I'd rather play Prototype 1 because the map/story choices are more convincing. Bonus points though for adding NPCs to the recent map editor. Tenchu 2 had that .

but CJ isn't a dude bro at all.

I desperate wish they'd bring back super powers into Far Cry. I'd take that over a bunch of stupid as fuck animal buddies.

They could even use it to push more RPG progression which Ubisoft seems to love so much.

Of course, I'm sure Ubisoft would make it all stupidly meta and ruin it.

Looks like some kind of shitty mad hatter cosplay. If you changed the hair and got rid of that shitty blazer it wouldn't look nearly as awful.

GTA IV is better than III or V because you can go inside more buildings. Tell Me I'm Wrong.

 

[Molesting the Decapitated]

I think games were somewhat better back when you had to actively search for health items/foodstuff to heal your health bar. When the auto-healing function in every video game became a thing it just got pretty lame and games began to lose some of its potential challenge

 

[whogoesthere]

Most of modern gaming is shit. It's not just the piss poor innovation and obsession with money, it's the endless anti-white narratives.

I honestly think gaming would be better with just white men involved, the rest can make their own white woman rape fetish games elsewhere.

I don't know if you're right or wrong, but that seems like a really weird metric to judge the quality of the games by.

I think it depends on the game and how it's structured. When done right it can incentivize more exciting, aggressive play, but if you fuck up the pacing or difficulty of combat, it'll suddenly incentivize frequently taking long breaks to heal that are even worse than the conservative play styles that regenerating health was designed to discourage.

Capcom doesn't have to worry about tits and ass when they have the PC modding community.

Spoiler: If you want titties get a PC

It shouldn't be up to the gamers to fix the pozzed "progressive" bullshit AAA gaming is shitting out nowadays. That's not even getting into Nexus Mods and other sites becoming more and more censorial; recently they banned some random Hogwarts black tights mod just because. Why the fuck should I cede my hobby to a bunch of cunts who hate half of it and hate my fun? There should be mods for them to censor it, not mods for me to make it what it used to be.

"Progressives" have done more damage to gaming and nerd hobbies than the Christian right of yesteryear ever could have dreamed of, and half you dumb faggots act like it's no big deal, or even defend it.

Thank you. I half didn't expect to encounter so many of the types I was talking about here, but that's exactly what I mean. Not only does she not look her age, but she's seriously covered up head to toe. Surprised they didn't slap a burqa on her just to make sure the evil male gaze didn't pass over her.

Just look at that dumb fuck whining about the actual voice actress, as if this nu Ashley looks or dresses like her in any capacity, or my criticisms had anything to do with some literal who chick that I don't care about. Not to mention her outfit is hideous to top it off, what is she, the fucking White Rabbit out of Alice in Wonderland? That's not how college girls, even rich ones, dress. The left is far more realistic even today.
