Unpopular Opinions about Video Games

[The Last Stand]

I think skill-based matchmaking existed dating back to the Xbox 360 days, although it wasn't as egregious then as it is now. Of course, you'd have to account the larger pool of players and diverse choice of games then compared to now. Either you were good enough to hold your own with the 1% chance of being wiped/dominating or the population was small enough to where only the dedicated would commit to populating the game.

Romance options in games are cringey and shallow. It just gets in the way of exploring a good game. And I mean it’s shit in every single game, for every persuasion. Playing BG3 is like a minefield, I can’t compliment someone without them creepily saying shit about their dick or my dick. It’s always the most awkward, forced, and nerdy flirting too. In more egregious games all the followers sound like sluts, in the less egregious it’s completely without feeling or fulfillment. If the devs really want to make romance they should distinctly mark romance options. Some of the options are so innocuous, saying “good job bro” to a supporting male character makes him think i’m out to suck his cock.

All video game romance should be banned until developers can animate two characters kissing and not have it look like somebody smashing two mannequin heads together.

Access to games is indeed better than ever. In that sense, gaming has improved.

However, new content is increasingly dreck. That said, due to part 1 that does not really matter unless you let it.

I often think of Predator: Hunting Grounds. A game that perfected Predator designs and movement, had great enviroments and sound design but absolutely no longevity. No single player campaign, no actual content plant for the future. It was a very shortsighted product. That's happening more and more I've noticed. Thing just gets made and then shit out and then, good or bad, abandoned in like a month.

How would the developers know how to animate something they've never done.

Every game developer is a dragon slaying chad who has never had sex?

Well the latter part would certainly explain video game romances, you must admit.

Explain yourself.

I can't speak for him, but I agree with his opinion on this matter.

The gunplay as Reverend Ray is a LOT of fun and bellowing Bible verses at dirtbags right before you pump them full of lead is a real hoot and a holler.

The stealth gameplay as Billy Candle isn't as strong as the Reverend Ray parts, but is still fun in it's own way.

I didn't really care for the characters that much and feels like too much boring fluff before the fun parts. I've tried playing through the game twice but just get bored when I have to do missions feeding my camp or just barely doing anything.

I was mainly talking about gunslinger but the first games good too. Except Billy's whip, it feels like complete ass sometimes.

Yeah but as a pc player all our games were on custom servers where everyone played the experience they wanted and we didn't have to deal with matchmaking ever.

"Were on custom servers"
Now it's mostly live service games that forces you to play with the console plebs. Gone are the days of needing to port forward to host a server and modding it anyway you like

I love not being able to play Diablo by myself because my internet connection is bad. God forbid I play a damn game by my damn self because you can't push out notification about the latest battlepass bullshit or whatever the fuck.

Gale is the worst one. He's obviously straight, all of his previous lovers are female as mentioned in his dialogue.

But because BGS3 is made by gender Communist snowniggers he has to desperately thirsting for my character's cock five seconds after we meet him.

 

[Xarpho's Return]

I meant Doom 2016. That game is so twitch based you could die if you hesitated for half a second.

I started playing Doom 2016 and I found it aggravating. The game is designed that you have to move and shoot (not staying in one place and definitely not my preferred position of taking up a sniper position), but blindly running around and shooting haphazardly isn't fun at all.

To be fair, this is how Doom 1993 was designed. If you could park somewhere with a sniper rifle rather than constantly dodge and weave, it wouldn't have been worthy of the name.

Maybe you don't exactly understand Doom. The Doom Slayer isn't a sneaky sniper he's an up close and personal kind of guy.

"Playersexual" shit is just so blatantly lazy and a copout to produce a bunch of options for the player. Another complaint I have about BG3 in particular is the variety of the companions. It's all humanoid size with like 3 humans, 5 variations of elf (which are basically humans with pointy ears), a tiefling (red human with horns), and a gith (frog faced human). Where's the gnomes? Where's the dwarves? Where's the dragonborn?

Why is there 2 druids but no other class that could provide a different insight, like monk? Even Astarion provides more of a vampire insight rather than a thief's insight.

Since the point of having characters in your party is to have sex with them, they probably decided animating human-gnome/dwarf/halfling sex came too close to CSAM, and they didn't want to render dragonborn genitals.
