Unpopular Opinions about Video Games

[Matt Damon]

I had an Xbox One controller once, but it would mysteriously keep blue screening my PC. It connected ok but within the next few minutes it would kill it. Went back to the caveman Logitech controller and decided wireless controllers were a mistake.

It's a nightmare. If I'd know things were going this way, I'd have stockpiled wired 360 controllers while they were plentiful and dirt cheap.

I personally use an Xbox One controller, but I always use it with a wired connection.

Yeah, but it's just that shitty little micro USB connector, right? I want something with beefy mechanical retention and strain relief because those inevitably get loose and fail, even on devices that you're not constantly handling and moving around while plugged in.

I use a third-party wired Xbox One gamepad, no complaints so far, since i game mostly on PC, wireless connection seems pointless since i'm going to be close to my desktop anyway.

Seriously, while playing X-Com: Enemy Unknown, I noticed why I thought 2 was a downgrade in every way.

Came here to post this (I agree with your full post I just can't quote).

Xcom 2 feels to cinematic and goes against what xcom really is: a horror/survival/tactical/strategy/rpg. Xcom 2 has you a bad arse with a shite team, throws 100 different options at you that aren't options because the only option is the order you complete them. The scanning is shit, there's no explanation how you got a ship, the building is retarded and they crammed in an asian chick and nig-nog just for the sake.

Xcom 1 made you feel hopeless and overwhelmed. Each mission was tough until you learned the tactics, earned the gear and became a better player, which in turn leaned into the game idea that you were a great strategical commander.

You would finish a mission, take a beating and before you know it another very difficult mission would appear. After that a country would leave the Xcom innitiative and it all felt overwhelming. Then it got to a point where you learned the tactics, had the gear and missions went from "oh shit another mission" to "oh shit!! another mission! let's kill these alien sons of bitches!"

Xcom 2 missions are just "here's loads of annoying shit, OP enemies and a small window to do everything". You can run and gun on xcom 2 like you could on 1 because your assault class (shotgun) now has the same range of movement as the heavy machine gunners. In Xcom 1 you could set up a choke point with snipers and heavies and have your assault flank the enemy and push them towards the choke point.

Tl;DR xcom 2, while playable, is fucking shit. the story doesn't make sense, the missions have 0 tactics and it feels like you're on rails the whole time.

Am I the only person here more interested in Baldur's Gate now that it has bear fucking?

YOGI: That sounds like it gives a creepy new meaning to the term "Boo-Boo Buddy." I sure wouldn't want to admit I know a Snagglepuss in this day and age! I would ask if it at least has pic-a-nic baskets but I suspect I wouldn't like the answer!

A game will come out and be pretty good, get universal acclaim and praise for a month or two, then the narrative will shift and suddenly the game is shit, was always shit, and you were just too retarded to realize it because of (minor flaw) and they're SOOO sick of people sucking the game off for being perfect (even though nobody was doing that)

There's also the annoying opposite of that. Game comes out, they scoff at the game [2-3 years go by] the same people that dismissed it then go OH WOW I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE DIDN'T BUY THIS, IT'S A CLASSIC, GAMERS ARE SO STUPID!

There's also the double whammy with games like SpecOps. At first it was just another brown third person shooter, it should be ignored, who would even play a game like that? After a couple of years it was suddenly a masterpiece that people overlooked. Then they turned on themselves and called it overrated, probably because it became too popular even though the game was completely dead and gay at that point.

Three, Princess Toadstool being a playable and actually useful character.

I didn't care about this one fucking bit

I already had this with Super Mario Bros. 2

And this whole thing kind of goes into my point that now a woman just being "present and playable" in a game is considered some amount of "wokeness". That is the real cancer that gamergate has caused among gamers.

Gamergate was a bunch of shut in faggots screeching about "ethics in journalism" when it came to games which is just
Of all the things to care about and try to make a movement over, gaming journos aren't even on the list.

Then of course the facade fell away and you were left with the true colors of the movement: a bunch of losers screeching that characters don't make their dicks as hard as they'd like.

Okay, risking a really unpopular opinion...

*SOME* amount of wokeness is okay, and perhaps even desirable.

That's not an unpopular opinion, that is a dogshit opinion.

I was sorta, kinda okay with Xcom 2 even if it wasn't as good as the first, but the Chosen expansion made me actively hate the game. Those fights were completely antithetical to everything that made Xcom's strategic gameplay enjoyable in the first place.

 

[The Ugly One]

At the risk of going off-topic, I tried to read 1960s Marvel Comics and couldn't stand them in part due to how women were written--as one-dimensional harpies who only exist to make men miserable.

They were written that way because the audience was little boys, and little boys largely find little girls to be irritating and female authority figures to be overbearing. It changed over time because the audience for comics became manchildren who never outgrew them and wanted a newsprint gf, not because of feminism. If you look through grown-up entertainment like movies, books, plays, opera, etc, you'll find anything but "all women are unlikeable cunts."

I got the GOTY edition (expansion+all dlc) version of Xcom 2 and jumped straight in with war of the chosen. The cutscenes are diablo 3 levels of cringe, they are nothing what xcom is about and like you said, the fights are simply fucking retarded

It's basically, Kill this super fast alien who can spawn anywhere, cover the map in one move, down your players in one hit BUT is immune to over-watch or any xcom tactics. DO you want more COD in your xcom?

Scumbags

Having aesthetically pleasing characters instead of purposefully ugly dykes and niggers isn't about getting your dick hard, that's a lowkey coombrained take.

Why make characters that are deliberately ugly? What's next, don't have female characters with breasts because somebody would jack off to her?

Abby is the ideal female character, if you disagree then you just want to get your dick hard

 

[Pissmaster]

so I gave Doom Eternal another try and it still sucks

For one, the sound design is really bad. The shotgun sounds like a stapler and everything just has a really weak sound to it, like with no bass or anything. Feels like I'm listening to it through cheap earbuds.

Secondly, what's with the difficulty? I'm playing on Hurt Me Plenty. I got to an arena near the end of the first level with a bunch of cacodemons, and died like 10 times over. I kept running out of ammo, and everything knocked my health down from 100 to under 50% constantly, so I have to keep doing all these repetitive glory kills to regain health, which sometimes doesn't even last more than a second. Melee attacks being unable to kill even the weak enemies doesn't help, either. So then I just set the difficulty back down to I'm Too Young to Die, and then I find out that's just Game Journalist Mode, because my health never drops below 80 and everything just kinda crumbles when I sneeze on it. I know I'm not bad at FPSes and I figure I must be doing something wrong to keep dying so much on normal difficulty, but seriously, what is up with the miniscule amount of ammo and no way to kill anything when unarmed?

I didn't say that, did I? But you immediately jumped to the conclusion that I think you can't have attractive vidya characters. You can. But if the reason you're screeching about a game being shit is because the waifu MC doesn't have big enough tits and doesn't make you coom hard enough then you deserve to be laughed at.

Nobody likes looking at fat chicks, not even other women.

Didn't say anything about fat chicks but ok. Seems neither of you retards can comprehend what I said. Some real reddit tier reactions over the fact that gamergate started off in a dumb fucking way and devolved further into coomers raging over polygon tits.

But I don't expect people on here to autistically parse through a profiles comments to see that they've agreed with and said the same shit you have. Which I have

Maybe, but that wasn't really what you said. Regardless, even coombait waifus are much preferable to leftist social engineering efforts in the form of characters, they want to "cHaLlEnGe BeAutY sTaNdArDs" and shit, but they can instead fuck off.
