Unpopular Opinions about Video Games

[Table Country]

Monster Hunter is profoundly boring. The environments are nice and the monster designs are great, but actually taking down a big monster is such a massive slog. The combat feels weightless at times, like you're hunting monsters with wiffle ball bats and nerf darts. Honestly it wouldn't be so bad if progression was faster, but it's so glacial and it takes so long to reach any sort of milestone that it feels like I'm playing an MMO.

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.

My nigger in christ you're literally sperging out over the sexiness of fictional women.

And you're sperging out about virtual rocks and trees and beating up dinosaurs. This is why I call you guys retards.

My nigger in christ you're on a website full of autists in a thread about what people don't like about video games.

You're right about gaming being ruined by libtards, but relax.

No matter how young or old you are, jailbreaking video game consoles is the best hobby if you can’t call yourself a gamer playing nothing but video games all day. If anything, I think I’ve learned more about these kinds of things than actually wasting time worrying about ”Culture War” battles that will not mean much when our favorite game titles will be nonexistent to us in the near future.

I put about 30 hours into Monster Hunter World, and just could not get into it. The monsters are HP sponges, the mobility to avoid attacks is shit, and slowly chasing them after they run away at half health is a pain in the ass. Rise seems to have fixed the slowly chasing issue with giving you a mount, but I'm still not going to play a twitchy combat system game when my character moves like molasses.

Nu-Wolfenstein has always sucked starting all the way from The New Order and The Old Blood, it didn't just start sucking with The New Colossus. Ignoring the astonishingly retarded plot - Nazis win because magic Jew technology from a magic Jew religious order (which the developers hilariously enough tried to secularize by having the rebel magic Jew act dismissively toward any hint of actual religious devotion) but the heroes magically start winning when they get a magic Jew of their own, Set Roth, who is able to BS super-technology out of his ass because reasons. Also BJ is now a mopey, pontificating retard who won't stop talking in this hyper-irritating semi-whisper which is bad enough already without 90% of his dialogue being pretentious crap that the writers thought sounded profound instead of idiotic. He is also basically unkillable as the game will frequently throw cutscenes or "gameplay" moments at you where BJ survives the most ridiculous bullshit.

Spoiler

(Which is also the reason why I wasn't particularly surprised when the story in the second game had BJ get his head cut off and survive. I'm assuming the developers thought that because this was Wolfenstein, a slightly wacky game series about shooting Nazis, that they could push the envelope with absolutely retarded shit that even old Wolfenstein games would steer clear of because the older developers understood that science-fiction WW2 game does not mean "everything goes". Especially when they are also trying to make the reboot SUPER SERIOUS at the same time.)

The weapon variety is laughable, you get a pistol, a shotgun, several different flavors of machine gun and a laser. That's basically it. The enemy variety can be boiled down to generic Nazi soldier and generic Nazi super-soldier carrying a big machine gun with the only remotely interesting foe being the London Monitor. The level design is fucking atrocious, it's less actual proper levels and more like a collection of shooting arenas separated by small corridors and/or cutscenes where every enemy within a 100-km radius will be instantly on your ass the moment you pull a trigger until you find and take out the alarm guys, which is usually after you've killed everyone else in the vicinity. The missions are also all hilariously short, made artificially longer by agonizingly stupid cutscenes.

At first I thought Elden Ring bosses were too hard but now I genuinely think they're some of the best From ever made and people are getting their shit stomped in because the autistic 'strength only, no magic, no summons, no jumping, no shield, only rolls and big sword' play style retards in this 100 hour action RPG are too retarded to use any of the advantages the game provides you and encourages because they want the game to cater to them and them alone.

 

[Smaug's Smokey Hole 2]

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

I played the ones before that and three is still the one I remember the most. Vaas really sold the game for me and I had to pause and look up who the voice actor was. Not because of the dialogue but because of the performance.

Could never really get into the second game, probably because of all the other releases. It released(in the EU) on the same day as Dead Space and Fable 2 and four days before Fallout 3, then Gears of War 2 a week after that then Mirror's Edge a couple of days after GoW2. All of that happened in a two week period.

In principle, sure, but From Soft also has a penchant for game mechanics that are nearly point-and-click adventure-tier inscrutable.

If you tell me "all you have to do is combine the Wizard's Key with the Blue Dragon Scale then take it to the forge at the Steppes of Elysium, which will give you the Chromatic Artifact and then the boss is a cinch", I'm going to tell you to fuck right off.

It boils down to Japanese devs following Western sensebilities and not caring for localization.
As for mods, shit is getting removed on Lover's Lab (a den of coom mods) should tell you something.

I can't believe Resident Evil has less T&A than Nekopara. Utterly unplayable trash

Lady Dimestrcu from 8 fulfilled MY power fantasy.

This is less that and more like 'using a shield will reduce damage taken' and 'jumping over attacks might help' or 'using a ranged option EVER might help when the enemy is extremely dangerous at close range.'

 

[The Last Stand]

The "it's just cosmetic!" argument for microtransactions is losing its validity with every passing day. If it was JUST cosmetic, why charge for them?

I used sword and roll through out my entire play-through and I still thought it had the best bosses (next to Sekiro). People complained because they suck at the game: "how dare the bosses have attacks with a long wind-up and punish me for spamming the dodge button."

Yes, it is a skill issue.

I've been wondering lately if it would be realistic to start a mod site and host it on Rumble Cloud and not censor things.

@ArthuriusMartyrius
For some reason I can't quote your post, but the only Wolfensteins that matter to me are Wolfenstein 3D and maybe Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Wolfenstein 2009, because that version of Blazkowicz is the ancestor of Doomguy. MachineGames screwed it up by giving Blazkowicz daughters instead of a son (BJ's son Arthur is the father of Commander Keen, whose son's son is Doomguy).

I do not know Rumble Cloud's TOS, so i can't tell if its even worth it. At least you can find some banned mods on the Non Newtonian Rentry. The files there are on catbox moe.

 

[topsykrets]

ots third person is the single shittiest perspective possible. Developers that implement it don't deserve to live.

I miss the camera being centered and slightly raised above the characters head, like in Max Payne.

 

[Day of the Cope]

Tears of the Kingdom is not going to be worth $70 because Breath of the Wild was barely worth $60. BotW felt padded as hell with "puzzle" dungeons that barely get more difficult than what you find in Highlights for Children and a world that is filled with like 5 different mooks with several recolors. Not to mention the lack of any real story in Nintendo's mainline fantasy series.

This leads to my other opinion: Nintendo is a trashfire company that is just as bad as Activision and Ubisoft. From Driftcons having never been fixed to reusing the same fucking map and art style for $70, it's time people realize that the best way to play Nintendo games is emulate them on a Steam Deck.
