Unpopular Opinions about Video Games

While Soulsfags are annoying when it comes to lore, fighting games lore/stories are even more retarded. Tell me ONE fighting game that does have a coherent storyline that doesn't teeter into the line between batshit and lame.

Primal Rage. Dinosaur gods battling each other over who gets to rule post-apocalyptic Earth and, presumably, eat the most worshipers, is cool & awesome.

Smash Bros: You’re a kid playing with your action figures, making them fight eachother.
 
which was supposed to be a huge twist.
The... sidequest only twist? To even perceive it as a twist at all you would have needed to do the entirety of Corhyn's questline, which is basically the Elden Ring equivalent of Anri's questline in DS3.

I don't understand what the issue is here.

Soul Calibur 4. Everyone comes together for one final clash, and each character can have a satisfying arcade ending. Oh, and by the way, Darth Vader and friends are there, too, but you can ignore them.

Yeah, I know Vader and Yoda and Starkiller show up in that game, but I'd say Soul Caliber 1-3 had better plots. 4 was rushed and really just amounts to Algol returns. Which might mean something if I didn't just learn about him in this game.

Well, 4's endings were the payoff for the stories in 1-3. And I'd say the endings in the arcade mode were rather satisfying for most characters. Especially Talim, Ivy, and Hilde. It was meant to be the last SC, so each character had a definitive ending.

Specs Ops is shit because the gameplay is shit.

The levels are only corridors with abandoned cars as covers, you can only hold two guns at any given point because it's the seventh generation of consoles (the dark ages of gaming) where everyone decided to copy the Halo despite it being an awful game. The gunplay is shit, the game takes 3 hours to complete and there's nothing to explore whatsoever.

Garbage game for the worst generation of consoles. That's it, really simple stuff, but you guys can discuss the cutscenes that everyone skipped all you want, but it's not relevant.

The white phosphorous scene is the most fun thing about that game.
 
You guys play fighting games for the story?

You guys are funny. By that I mean retarded.
So I haven't cooked with tofu in a while and I know it tastes almost nothing by itself. Always felt it was stupid to do this but then I've been thinking how we buy pasta and rice and other bland things and infuse flavour in it so maybe this spongy thing has a purpose.
I know some Asian restaurants can make it pretty good!

Plus it seems half of the women I meet are trying to be vegetarian which pretty much makes me one if I ever want to invite them to dinner. Curries and stews are fine but I love Asian cooking otherwise so it would be cool to make it work.
Its plain white tofu and I plan to make it with a package of that mixed vegetable wook stuff that has your classic blend of veggies just Asian enough to make it feel exciting and new for us Europeans.
But if you have something else you like to do with tofu then feel free to post it here!

I heard some deserts can be really nice. Never had any myself
It all makes sense now. Fucked up hormone levels from all the soy.
 
PS4 Pro's "3 layers" design is great. I don't know why people dislike it.

Firewatch is wank. It really elevates the walking simulator genre, elevates it all the way up to being a shitty movie where I have to press buttons to make it go forward.

Iron Lung, Squirrel Stapler, and now Buckshot Roulette kill my hope for humanity. First we get this cheap ass flash game knockoff where you navigate a sEa Of AlIeN bLoOd (give me a break) while it occasionally flashes a spoopy image at you and then finally kills you with a jumpscare, no real gameplay or anything, just a fucking walking simulator at its core that goes aboogaboogaboo at the very end. Then the motherfucker that made that made a dumb meme game that, credit to it, at least looks pretty funny and offbeat, but people are playing that up as his second horror masterpiece because it, too, dumps a dumbass jumpscare at the end. Now finally, we have a game where you play spooky roulette against a dude and it's super scary because he has long teeth and vacant eye sockets.

I cannot for the life of me understand how the fuck Buckshot Roulette is supposed to be taken seriously as horror. When you blow your head off with a goddamn shotgun in that game, you get revived with defibrilators. The worst thing that can happen to you in a game of glorified coin flipping is that you apparently stroke out a bit after hearing gun go bang. It doesn't even make sense within its own context.

Zoomers are fucking morons.

Much like anime, these games can be best described as "Flavor of the Month". Zoomers latch onto something rising in popularity and follow it up until the end of the month, where another popular Flavor will replace said other Flavor. I'm honestly impressed how zoomers have such horrendous tastes, especially after the aftermath of the Barbie movie last year.
 
To add, and I'm not criticizing Buckshot Roulette as a game (my understanding is it's quite well designed), the whole horrifying nature of roulette is that it's an all-or-nothing test of bravado which either ends in sudden, extremely violent death and your brains splattered over the wall or in victory, based on nothing but random probability. When you make the roulette survivable you automatically take any horror, any tension out of it.

Lisa the Painful is unfun, but it has a much better take on it in how it forces you at one point to play roulette with the lives of your party. It sucks, it's unfun, it was the point where I gave up on the game (at least for this time, but it's hard to imagine giving it any more chance), but a bunch of greasy pixelated RPG Maker dudes sitting in a grimy basement clicking the trigger back and forth is tense, deeply unpleasant in a way that a dude with scary teeth can never be because there's an actual character behind it who is going to live or die and every click is like a little jumpscare unto itself.
