Unpopular Opinions about Video Games

Rick The Stick said:
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.

Gamergate started off with an ugly sow winning a bunch of awards for a non-game (it was literally just a website) because she sucked off a bunch of dudes. Then it escalated when Anita Sarkeesian started shrieking about how women being portrayed as attractive or needing men to save them is Le Bad (before calling on the men of the gaming industry to save her from Le Bad bigots). Game companies, wishing to appease the new wave of feminist bullshit, started putting more surly, ugly, unpleasant, ass-kicking bitches in their games.

Gamers did not like this.

Then retards like you started chimping out and saying "HURRRRR YOU JUST WANT TO PLAY TOMB RAIDER ONE-HANDED DURRRR" and ignoring the actual issue.

Apparently, you've been in the hugbox so long that you've forgotten that all of this is well-documented, and you can't jump into somewhere like the Farms, of all places, which specializes in documenting things, and lie about what happened.

Here are some related archives:

Anyway, I'd call you a fucking dumbass, but actually, you're just a liar who thinks you can dishonestly represent what happened, and people here will give you asspats and updoots. So, you know, since you want to argue dishonestly, fuck off.

I can see where you're getting at with this statement. Let me say this: there's nothing wrong with having strong, female characters in video games. Samus from Metroid, Lara Croft from Tomb Raider, Bayonetta, several Street Fighter characters, Joanna Dark from Perfect Dark. These are just some playable female characters I can think of within the video game medium that are popular and well-liked.

Hell, I encourage developers to have women in video games to mix up storytelling, gameplay and expectations. The issue with "wokeness" goes two-fold: having female characters in video games (or any medium, for that matter) should not automatically be a political statement. It's entirely possible to have well-written, diverse female characters, whether they'd be a heroine (Samus, Metroid series), supporting character (Jill Valentine, Resident Evil), villainess (Lady Dimestrcu, Resident Evil 8) or anywhere in between (Commander Shepard, Mass Effect series.)

The issue is how and why female characters are represented nowadays for the sake of shallow representation.

Yeah I totally side by this, abolishing gender roles for some really cool badass female characters has been a thing since the original tomb raider, it’s been a feature pretty much instilled since the late 90s girl power movement anyway. All the characters you mentioned are also just well written, exciting and fun characters to play as.

I just think when game writers and designers deliberately make game characters intentionally ugly or representative of modern day woke women with any transpeople or dangerhairs or ´chunky’ women. Ignoring the basic sex appeal that most heroines in games ar even at to have for the sake of ‘muh diversity’ is when it gets really grating. The simple fact is people just want interesting characters to play as. Make a good compelling well written character first and then think about their gender.
Honestly this fucking Knuckles speech still puts it best even years later.

what is up with the miniscule amount of ammo and no way to kill anything when unarmed?

You're not using the weapons the way the developer intended, every enemy has a weapon attachment they're weak to. Gone is the day you could beat the entirety of the game with nothing more than the super shotgun (Which you could do in Doom 2016). You need to use everything the game gives you via autistic weapon swapping that was present in 2016 but that was more to flex on others whereas Eternal requires you to do so if you want to play anything higher than ITYTD. I hated the Crucible cause it's "Super" weapon but you only get 3 charges and no way to charge it outside of pick ups (also unaffected by the increase in ammo from suit upgrades), should have been percentage based with it being a timed cool-down which kills contribute to. Ugh, makes me mad thinking about how greater that weapon could be. Kinda like the game, looks cool but doesn't live up once you've got it.

"Woke" doesn't mean "has a bit of liberal bullshit." What separates the woke revolution from prior leftoid crap is that it is founded in a belief that everything normal is somehow keeping women, fags, and niggers down and must be purged in a holy crusade against unrighteousness. For example, Lara Croft wasn't woke, because she was a hot chick, and normal guys like hot chicks, and that is bad. Black Ops II has a black admiral, but it's not "woke." The admiral's just the badass black dude archetype, there for the story. Vanguard's black guy, by contrast, is there to preach White Males Are Bad. Having female character options isn't woke. Deliberately uglifying every option tO aVoId tHe MaLe gAzE is woke. Etc.

Usually the tell on a "woke" game is that it openly despises a large chunk of its audience, and one of its supposed selling points is that only a bigot wouldn't like it.

Honestly I do see where TLS is coming from, you rarely notice this stuff unless your specifically going out your way to look for it or it doesn’t take up too much of the game for it to be distracting. For me more than anything I just want my games to be fun to play and not feel like my money is wasted.

It’s honestly why I’ve stuck with being a Nintendo autist for so long because say what you want about them being Braindead insufferable consoomers,Nintendo know at least their intended child demographic means that they generally avoid having woke or deliberately pandering liberal content because they know the kids won’t recognise or care. They still make great games above all else.

Honestly, most modern games feel like they're more fun to watch than they are to play.

That might be too much of a popular opinion, so I'll hedge my bets with some additional:

-I actually like the music in Sonic R, I don't understand why it has a reputation for being memetically bad. I guess some people just could not feel the sunshine.

-Bubsy's first game was actually not terrible.

-I know I'm repeating myself but Aero the Acro-Bat deserves to be remembered way more than Bubsy does.

-I honestly never understood why people were attracted to Lara Croft. I know she's got boobs, but even in my teens the idea of being attracted to her felt like being attracted to my mom or my English teacher--IE, rather gross.

-Then again, I was never attracted to the girls from Darkstalkers either, so perhaps I just have weird taste in fictional women.

-I've probably said this already too (can't remember), but if anyone ever asks you "what was better, Street Fighter II or Mortal Kombat?" the correct answer is "Samurai Shodown." ("King of Fighters" is also acceptable).

-For some reason Marvel vs Capcom 2 is considered the peak of the series... but I always preferred the first one, simply because of the sounds and music.

I watched a long video about the game Guilty Gear Xrd and the painstaking lengths the developers went to to make 3D models look like real anime-style animation. And after watching it and finding it interesting on a technical level and understanding their artistic choices, I still don't fucking care - it looks and feels like absolute dogshit to run high-resolution models at low framerates, even if you do it on purpose.

They did DragonBall FighterZ didn't they? I agree. Looks nice and technically it's very impressive, but it adds nothing to the gameplay and even results it less content because it's so fucking hard to animate shit that way in that style.

This is unpopular but I honestly still don’t really know what gamergate was or really get why it’s such a huge deal even now. Chloe Sagal was always a boring lolcow to me even back in 2014 and she seems almost like a relic at this point, I don’t really get the farms and the internets obsession with her when there are more interesting game stories and cows in the community.

Maybe drooling retards who slant left don't notice it without looking for it.

And your thinking is that, for example, people should just ignore the gay pride flags in Spider-Man, right? It's a small part of the game that doesn't even effect gameplay, so that's just fine? We should only maybe care if Spider-Man says "trans rights" at the end of each sentence?

Yeah, Nintendo is certainly the best about this, having not yet been fully westernized or sucking too hard on the ESG cock.

I'm guessing that's why we're getting another shitty Tenkaichi rather than DBFZ or something similar. Those arena fighters are comparatively easy to shit out.
