Agreed on both of these.

>FFX is probably the best final fantasy game of all time

Maybe if it didn't have the worst level design barring FFXIII.
>FFVII is overrated and crisis core is actually a really solid game

I can agree on the former but you are wrong for thinking crisis core is any better. It's like saying the Star Wars prequels are better than the original trilogy, sure it's your opinion but it's still factually incorrect.

Yes.

Fighting games??? I hope you are jesting.

>FFX is probably the best final fantasy game of all time

Yes.

Undertale is neither good nor bad. It's just mediocre.

Anybody that legitimately complains about fanservice not being localized is a retard (especially if it's the costumes in Fatal Frame being removed)

The ass slap being removed from the new Street Fighter isn't censorship

Feminism being looped in with misandry and otherkins is ridiculous

Sm4sh > Melee

Bravely Default is a great game and there's nothing wrong with having to repeat the boss fights

The 3DS is better than any of the other current gen consoles

Final Fantasy is a mediocre series

Daisy is a shit character and any of her fans should fuck off

Saying 'kek' is the equivalent of saying 'u mad bro' or any other meme phrase

Almost everybody you call an SJW is just fucking baiting you idiots

Chrono Trigger isn't that good of a game, and I have a very strong feeling that the majority of its "fans" only call it the best game ever made just to fit in with the hardcore JRPG crowd.

>>319838242
everything except for the lamp warp/respawns and repairs are only problems if you are a shitter. Bloodborne gives you way more ways to deal with things than the other souls games and if you have trouble on anything pre-rom there IS a way to make it easy. NPC hunters are cheap but they would be a joke if they could run out of bullets and the repair thing is only an issue with certain very specific cursed gems.

Upgrading armor and defense in general is unnecessary as fuck in BB, Souls was already made easy by equipping low defense armor+darkwood grain ring but Bloodborne is "don't fucking get hit" the game.

You're right about blood vials. The estus system was a huge improvement over Demon's Souls's farmable healing items. I have no idea why they regressed in Bloodborne. If you're a good player and don't run out it doesn't make a difference, but if you're new to the series you'll end up running out, probably while trying to throw yourself at a boss. Something as basic as healing shouldn't be something you run out of. I'm all for souls-style games requiring skill and proficiency, but all the blood vial system does is punish bad players for being bad which was never the point.

To be fair, the thing I'm talking about is in every Final Fantasy game with Blue Magic/ Minus Strike, but it feels way worse when the boss literally COULD party wipe you with it, but they aren't scripted to do so.

>Mafia 2 is better in every way than 1, anyone who says otherwise hasn't played 1 or just doesn't remember how terrible it actually was

I replayed 1 just recently and I still find it to be one of the best third person shooters ever made. All the guns feel deadly, both you and the enemy can put each other down with fucking force, in 2 they felt like peashooters in comparison.

Sure 1 had a few annoying missions, but they weren't enough to bring the game down as a whole, for me, the shooting was just so good I was willing to forgive the shitty driving missions. It's not like 2's driving was much better, anyway.

I just think the term literally is used as "a type of challenge I don't like".

It's not reasonable to say

>this isn't TRUE challenge

If it challenges you, it's a challenge, saying artificial tries to eliminate its legitimacy, when the reality is that you don't like that kind of challenge.

There isn't any difficulty I'd call artificial. There are types of challenges I'd call frustrating and difficulty emerging from poor design rather than intention to challenge, but never artificial.

I define a challenge as something you do do something about. If I can't not take max damage from an attack, no matter what I do and I can't avoid it, it's just not very fair. I do, however agree with you that all difficulty is difficulty, nonetheless.

People forget what artificial difficulty actually means. It originally meant something like hard mode in skyrim, where the mechanics are the same shallow shit but it's "artifically difficult" by pumping enemy HP and damage.

it's now used as a meme for any time someone has trouble with something but doesn't want to admit it, particularly with souls games.

You shouldn't let a fanbase scare you off something. In fact the vast majority of JRPG fanbases are toxic.

Interactive narratives and experiences like Gone Home and The Path and shit are perfectly fine and I'm okay with them existing.

They just need to find the right label, market place and price tag for that type of thing. "Videogame" comes with the stigma that it's always entertainment first and foremost, while those are calling themselves "art," and it's retarded to put them on Steam and sell themselves for twenty dollars.

Not that those two games are good, I haven't played them and have no opinion on them, but they're getting criticized for things they're not trying to be and they're doing it to themselves by approaching the wrong audience.

No. Artificial difficulty is if the controls/pathing/hitboxes/mechanics are glitchy or inconsistent

>>319845653
Yeah, I feel like it's disingenuous to even call them video games. They are interactive experiences, but there is no lose condition. They aren't games.

Even calling them interactive is pretty manipulative because DVD menus are interactive but nobody would call them fun because of their interactivity.

What those kind of things are are interactive short films.

MGS3 Snake Eater is complete garbage. One of the shittiest games I've ever played. MGS1&2 are similarly bad, but not as bad as 3.

Halo is great and has amazing lore.

The Last of Us is great, but doesn't have enough variety.

Anyone who wants every FPS to be exactly like Doom or Quake is an idiot, I don't want every single game to be as fast as those games.

Quake is better than doom in every way.

Half Life 2 is garbage compared to Half Life 1.

30 FPS is fine for most games, though 60 FPS is preferable. A stable framerate, so long as it doesn't go below 30, is more important than a high framerate.

Art style is more important than graphics.

Video games are fun.

If the game has turn based combat, 30 FPS is completely fine. The only games where I would say 60 FPS is completely necessary would be Fighting games, FPS's, Racing games.

Lost Odyssey is crap
NieR is crap
Ni No Kuni is crap

I'm dead serious, i love JRPGs but these games are fucking terrible. The sad thing is that I finished them all. I want the time I wasted on these crappy games back. They are terrible for similar reasons; dreary derivative storytelling pandering to "feels", a complete lack of focus on gameplay. Lost Odyssey's combat is so slow it's barely playable, NieR is just a mess that doesn't know what it's doing and Ni No Kuni is just broken and makes no sense.

Disagree with you on Lost Odyssey but agree with you on the other two, especially Ni No Kuni. Once you get past the colorful presentation that game really is lackluster.

As for my unpopular opinion, Legend of Dragoon is atrocious and has almost nothing good about it that hasn't already been done before in better JRPGs, including its highly touted timed hits gimmick (see Super Mario RPG and FF8) if you still think LoD is anywhere near the best of what the PS1 had to offer you really need to take off the nostalgia goggles and try out some other JRPGs.

You shouldn't be mad at SJWs at all, you should be mad at the developers and publishers that self censor their games.

Uncharted and Last of Us have some of the best dynamic gunplay and AI today, but you'd never know unless played on high difficulties.

SF4 a shit that ruined an entire genre and community

The awful steam community and PC master race autismos actively pushed me away from the platform despite being a PC gamer since the mid-90s.

The popular targets of /v/ are usually actually great games. You shouldn't let a bunch of contrarian edgy teenagers prevent you from playing some great games just because they're popular and accessible.

A fanbase can legitimately take away enjoyment from a game (see: Undertale, Minecraft)

The only real advantage PC's have over consoles is the strategy genre and modding. Everything else is just fluff.
