Japanese games are about 2 generations behind Western developed games in overall quality and content.

Half life one and two are shit games. Deleted before clearing first level on both games. HL3 never is a good thing.

Weird, I felt like I bought a expensive demo with almost no weapon variety when I got Battlefront. Stopped playing and traded it in after 4 hours.

PCs are better than consoles because consoles ceased to be real consoles. During the 16/32bit era I'd have called myself an idort if that term existed back then. Every platform had a very distinctive identity and preference for certain games. Nowadays it's all just a mush of multiplats running worse on consoles.
The Witcher 3 has possibly the worst combat I've ever seen in a game. TW1 was the best in the series but I love CDP and I was fine supporting them with my money
Souls games are for bland tryhards, bad designs with infinite continues, any shitter can brute force their way to the end
Fallout New Vegas is the most over-rated game on /v/
Underrail is the best game to be released in the last 5 years
Battleborn is okay
PC gaming started early 2010's when bronies starting shitting up TF2 and then when reddit got a hold of PC Master race stuff. Sales have gotten worse and Valve has become even bigger kikes.
Varoufakis should return to Valve and do their finances again, even if he is a Marxist economist, which is an oxymoron on itself.
Ever since he left, Valve became unreasonable greedy.
>>341643998
This.
I fucking hate shitty ecchi games and don't understand why people shell out money for them time and time again. It'd be one thing if it was full on porn, but it's nothing but worthless pantyshots and pasties over tits. The worst part is they're terrible games, and do nothing but make people who enjoy JRPGs look worse.
The money you use on Neptunia #50 or Senran can go to supporting a JP artist who's actually making a good H-Game. I just don't understand.

I thought overwatch looked pretty cool but the cancerous community and 13 threads being open at once turned me off of it. I then decided to bite the bullet and bought it anyways, sure it was fun but it grew stale quickly. Now there is nothing to do,
The Assassin's Creed series and story is really good.
I enjoy Souls games, but I think that they have fundamental and serious flaws with bad controls, bad camera, bad lock-on, and bad hitboxes. They've always been there and it's getting more and more outrageous that they aren't fixed or improved on in any way. But you can't ever have a serious discussion about these problems because it always devolves into 'git gud' and other meme cancer. This is leading to an awful place where people stop caring about good/fun game design, because as long as it's hard and they can feel like kewl hardcore gamerz for beating it, nobody will care. It's casualization, just in the opposite direction. Why care about complexity and depth when you can just stack more HP on the boss and increase the size of its swipes?
>>341642892
You monster.
I dont like games like bloodborne/dark souls.
I find League of Legends (and to some extent other mobas) fun.
and with League specifically, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Dynamic Queue. It's simply become the new "elo hell" excuse that shit players have latched onto to explain why they can't climb/aren't having fun.
>>341642563
That's not an opinion.
Gaming culture really does have a legitimate sexism problem.
And immediately taking the victim stance, i.e.
>THEY'RE TAKING OUR GAMES
One, doesn't actually make you look like a victim, and
Two, in no way actually helps your argument.
>>341642563
I hate VR, and hope it flops outright.
Resident Evil: Code Veronica is a much better game than Resident Evil 3. It's easily in my top five Resident Evil games.
The Souls series is a solid lineup of good games.
But they're nowhere near perfect, great or the best thing to happen to gaming, as some people would make you want to believe and they have glaring flaws.

What kind of attention whores have we become, even as anonymous, to the point where we need to announce to the world our disinterest in things? Even unprovoked?
>itt popular opinions
Most AAA games are really good, and get slammed for the most arbitrary shit. Mass Effect 3 is a prime example. It was a good game with a few severe flaws: weak writing in certain places, terrible sidequests, and not enough context/information provided for key events. Everyone ignored these actual problems to bitch about insignificant shit like not getting a perfect happy ever after ending, not getting a super detailed 100% original image of Tali's face, not spending enough time with old characters, and not having every little tiny decision come back to influence major events. People bash the game for not having any depth, but any time someone tries to point out the depth that it does have, they are accused of being a shill.
That brings me to another complaint: shill is the worst fucking buzzword. It's the 'cis white male' of /v/. It's absolutely worse than cuck. Any time a game gets any kind of popular recognition /v/ declares it shit and has the arrogance to believe that marketers are coming to this shithole to plug a game that everyone is going to buy anyways. People care more about console/publisher/franchise wars than actual games.
>>341645836
>funnyjunk
>saying sexism exists

The Souls games are slow and repetitive, with bad controls on top of that
Monster Hunter is slow, grindy and with an endless gear treadmill
Pokemon is still good if you care mostly about the competitive aspects
Consoles are a chore to play in, better a good PC and a handheld to play while sitting at the PC
Sm4sh 3DS > Sm4sh Wii U
VR is a fad that will at most next year
Indies are the future of gaming
Rising Thunder had the right idea about the execution of special moves

Keep telling yourself that
"Pure" arena shooters are boring and take far less skill than military based shooters specifically at high levels of play. The combination of having 0 recoil/instant hit/splash damage weapons with no falloff (see games like Quake) turns the game into a war of attrition rather than a test of skill. The game no longer becomes about aim/tactics but rather a fight to see who can stack the most armor.
There's a reason why the genre is relatively dead now.
The Saturn/PC Version is better than the Genesis Version.
Marble Blast Ultra is the best Xbox 360 game.
Handhelds are the most comfortable form of gaming.
The Talos Principle is one of the best games from the last few years.
>>341647363

People who enjoy Pokemon have absolutely no right to complain about CoD or Ass Creed releasing the same game every year. Pokemon is the same piece of shit every "gen" with a fresh coat of paint. It's not even good at being comfy. It's dull, repetitive, and boring.
There has never been a good Sonic game.I will debate you
>>341647782
This, although the "boring" thing is purely subjective.
too bad Quake champions will just be some TF2-style shooter.
>>341642563
Overwatch and the new Zelda have some of the most innovative gameplay aspects since Trouble in Terrorist Town.
>>341648413
It's an arena-shooter with weapon pickup, tricks, FFA mode, etc.
having abilities in a skill-based FPS is strange but it's not a TF2-style/overwatch-style shooter for all we know
>>341647319
I understand where you're coming from. However, I disagree.
In Quake, in order for a disadvantaged player to recover from a stack disadvantage, they have to be clever with their positioning, gathering as much as they can while avoiding engagements. On the other side, the person who holds the stack is trying to hunt them to maintain their advantage. This results in a lot of really fast paced decision making and adaptive strategy that's hard to miss because it looks like they're just running around missing eachother. Complexity keeps piling on after that but that's the basics.
I totally understand your viewpoint though. If its boring to you, i aint trying to change your point of view, but I'd say they just emphasise different kinds of decision making and strategy.
>>341648764
I really hope that you're right. I love Quake, and want it to be great.
>>341643998
There's a lot to be said about censorship (self-inflicted or otherwise) and defending games from it. The problem stems from the fact that the people who care on here only give a fuck about niche mediocre Japanese games filled with sexual content, where they'll defend the most banal or ludicrious thing possible, all while turning a blind eye to violence or even advocating censorship for something they dislike (Anything western, especially with any hint of fagbait. Japanese lesbians/crossdressers/fags are a okay.) It really makes them seem self-serving at best and myopic at worse.
It's like GG where there's an actual serious issue but the people most involved picked the most inflammatory part to rally around and lack the subtlety to carry it properly to normies.
>>341642892
...you monster.
I like Final Fantasy 13 and Skyward Sword.
Every Souls game other than DaS1 is absolute trash ruined by either being able to warp from the start, lack of variety, the game feeling disconnected, or just plain nostalgia pandering.
Arkham Origins is one of the greatest games ever.
I play games solely for fun anf in singleplayer
I have both amd and nvidia hardware (like amd better - less money for more juice)
I liked Mass Effect 3 (always played extended cut, so i couldn't judge the vanilla game)
Don't care about sjwism, gamergate or any of that bullshit
Frankly don't see the reason why all you autismos get butthurt about it
Also i have only bought maybe 5-6 games in my lifetime (all back in my ps1 days in 99-03, and only gran turismo 4 for ps2)
I've probably played 300-400 different popular games and i torrented them all
>>341644496
what is the context of this picture?
Pretty much every turn based JRPGs that isn't SMT should not even be considered videogames. The stories are always generic anime shit and the combat doesn't even constitute gameplay as it always boils down to just clicking through menus to select what canned animation you want to see. Persona is the epitome of this cancer and everyone who likes it should be mocked.
Dark Souls 2 is underrated and under appreicated here. Dark Souls series (although challenging) is not nearly as difficult as the memes make them out to be. Especially because the player is allowed to summon players and npcs to help fight. This greatly reduces the difficult of the A.I. Turn based combat is more challenging than action or rtwp for RPGs. Unless its multiplayer.

Bloodborne at least tried to switch some things up.
That's one of the primary gripes I have with Dark Souls 3. They could have continued that trend and they did add the more aggressive enemy/boss styles from Bloodborne but then they just kept the clunky old Souls formula. It made no sense as I played it. It was screaming for bigger changes to the combat but they went with I guess to appease fans.

Zelda is and was always a terrible shallow husk of a game and absolutely not worth the hype or the money.
I'm sick of seeing established series go the way of waifushit and see it as no different from casualization. It's all an attempt to get a wider audience that tends to be detrimental to how the game is played, or in this case written.
I have a feeling that Bethesda is going to look to fucking Zenimax to make TES6. In which case I hope the sires dies with Skyrim.
Overwatch is more fun on the console because I get to connect with my normie friends and they are all in all great people
Dota 2 doesn't require skill.
I've never seen a play and thought "wow, I could never have done that!" or "man, that must have taken a lot of practice" like I do when I see plays from actual skill based games.

GAMES USED TO BE GOD TIER TACTICAL ROLE PLAYING GAMES WITH SOLID INTERESTING STORIES
NOW IT'S A FULL VIRGINITY SIMULATOR
WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING TO THE GAMING WORLD
I'm coming to realize I prefer low key stories in my RPGs.
I love BG's story, but BG2 does absolutely nothing for me.
I loved Morrowind, but found Tribunal abhorrent.
I loved the shit out of Underrail's story.
The first chapter of Gothic 1 is the best storytelling PB ever produced and nothing in their other games even come close to it.
Geneforge 1's some people are dicking around on an isolated island but for the most part nothing really happens is better than the later Geneforge games' political intrigue and all out war.
And I could go on.
I like it when games have stories, and I think games have greater storytelling potential than any other medium.
Street Fighter V's 8-frames situation is only a problem with throw teching. Otherwise, it's merely a case of adaption.
>>341642563
Video games are a waste a time, a distraction from what really matters. They've been holding back progress in science and technology by diverting tens of millions of manhours from nerds who should have been learning, tinkering, discovering and creating stuff.

>>341659234

I have played all the Metal Gear games and i think MGS4 is the best one and MGS3 was the worst one
Gamergate actually did engage in doxxing, extreme harassment and serious threats against it's targets (seriously, I use 8gag as well, the general there used to have doxx in the fucking OP)
Gamergate was largely driven by /pol/faggots and alt-right memelords who didn't even believe in what they were saying but wanted to manipulate a general anti-feminist strain throughout the gaming community (confirmed by IRC logs, some of the core GG planners even make fun of all the conspiracy bullshit about Zoe Quinn)
You only need to look at KiA to see GG is legit just a fascist circlejerk.
Milo is a piece of shit who has just jumped on Gamergate because they are useful idiots.
Most gamers have literally no reading comprehension nor even wish to understand the basic points about media communication or gender theory. I've never seen arguments on 4chan that are anything more than pathetic strawmen attacks.
About 80% of what Anita says is 100% on point. The rest she falls into slippery slope or poorly interprets the subject imo. (though I personally don't like FemFreq because I find Anita personally comes off as pretentious)
Anita is not a 'professional victim', hilarious that GG faggots say that as they give tens of thousands of dollars to fuckheads like Milo, Christina Hoff Sommers, Jordan Owen, Davis Aurini who are actual professional victims.
"Regressive left", "SJW" basically means anybody who actually engages in common human decency or criticism of shitty things that people like.
and the big one:
Games are actually sexist as fuck, most media is, the double standard between design and tropes between males and females is fucking night and day, anybody who ignores this is either fucking retarded and has no comprehension what so ever, or is purposely being obtuse.
Oh also the gender pay gap refers to discrimination in career progression when experience and qualifications are taken into account. Anybody that ignores this is being obtuse as fuck as well.
Story and games go together like water and oil.
Games really need to stop telling stories.
A game having context for player actions is perfectly fine (I.E. "You're a plumber, go save the princess from the turtle monster"), but when games start having PROTAGONISTS and CHARACTER ARCS and an actual PLOT, it never, EVER goes well.
Ever.
Just as a basic example of what I mean: Cutscenes.
Here's a section of the game where the game LITERALLY STOPS BEING A GAME long enough to tell some story. Why is that okay? Imagine if a movie turned off the picture so you could focus more on the dialogue. That would suck, right? So why do we allow games to literally negate their own existance for minutes at a time so it can tell us something that in all likelihood is boring, banal, cliche, and doesn't actually improve the user's experience at all.
The best examples of story integration into a game that I can think of off the top of my head, are games like the original Legend of Zelda, or Dark Souls, where the story has taken place before the game and the player has to piece together context clues. Also, games like Portal, where the story is happening concurrent to the player, with minimal interaction.
Both of these examples add to the experience of the player without taking away from the gameplay, but even they have fundamental flaws.
If the best we can do as far as storytelling in games is concerned is either brushing it off to the side like the kiddie table at Thanksgiving, or marginalizing it to the point of obscurity, shouldn't that be a sign?

Scallebound and Horizon were my two favorite games at E3.
>>341660538
Now there is an interesting argument. I could speak about this a lot.
I think stories are okay. What not okay are long, and frequent cinematics: showing something awesome, that the player can only watch at best, instead of letting the player create the awesome moments naturally, via playing the game
Windows 10 is a step in the right direction.
>>341660792
Notice I said 80% of the time. And when people are referring to Anita, they are talkin about Feminist theory and very basic fucking media communication observations she makes.
No I don't agree with Anita's stupid comments on Doom. Yes Anita is correct most of the time when pointing out and analyzing sexist tropes in media. Sometimes she falls into slippery slope arguments, but most of the time it's very fucking obvious observations.
"I hate sexy girls"
Strawman, the issue and you fucking know it is that 99% of female characters in games are 20 something supermodels who exist entirely as waifubait while male characters can be fucking anything. It results in female characters being depicted with only agency being only in their sexuality while male characters agency is in their personal ability.

who cares you dumb retard, its a game i dont want to look at a fat landwhale, its the same reason why you only see strong and pretty male chatacter, go cry on tumblr

>I like to think that one of the benefits of modern gaming has been the ability for developers to better combine story and gameplay.
All that usually means is that what would otherwise be a skippable cutscene turns into you having to stand there while NPCs talk, and you have to sit through it every single time. I like stories in games, but I'd rather have a skippable cutscene than an unskippable one.
>>341660860
>But not every game does this.
You're right.
The big trend for AAA games right now is the walkie-talkie hallway.
Jesus don't even get me started.
Nothing at E3 seemed interesting to me. Even the Zelda shit didn't remedy the fact that Star Fox was garbage and that Nintendo is destroying Paper Mario while not producing anything of value for so long and that another gimmick-drowned abortion of a console is on the horizon. Kojima's dopey mind fuck games and his desperate attempt to solidify himself as a deep/interesting writer continues to be unimpressive.

Most female gamers. Most people who want to see gaming grow up from being bullshit for 13 year old boys, people like me who look after children but don't want to give them games that depict women as sexist stereotypes.

ok this is bait bye

>Not all sects we a bunch of assholes but but we can't go around pretending Galileo and other scientist weren't killed because of their ideas.
We don't have to PRETEND Galileo wasn't killed for his ideas, because it's TRUE. He was placed under house arrest, and it was less about his scientific ideas and more about the fact that he was an arrogant shithead who pissed off literally everyone. He didn't even have sufficient evidence to prove his ideas at the time. Ironically, it was the Church who was being more scientific.

Sup /pol/ why are you here
>>341643445
To counter your unpopular opinion, I think this is a good thing. The standards that have come to be over the last 2 gens are largely shit. I feel like games have regressed more than progressed in most senses that aren't sheer size and visual fidelity.
>>341661259
>letting the player create the awesome moments naturally
I'm still developing it, but this is the crux of my argument, I think. The very best, most timeless games may or may not have a story on their own, but they give the player the tools to create their own stories and experiences.
There's a reason Minecraft is the second best selling game of all time, and a pillar of modern gaming culture, and I'll give you a hint: It's not for its graphics.
>>341661787
There should be two types of video games.
>Games with male and female characters with a developed story, a diverse cast, aged from 10-85 with all tyes of races amd genders
>Games that are fun and have no political agenda
You can buy the first kind and have fun
I just played some games League of Legends for the first time and the aspect of only moving where/how far the creeps move and stopping as soon as you reach a tower is FUCKING RETARD in terms of game pacement.
The first 10 mins of every game are ALWAYS THE SAME if one of your teammates isnt backwards retarded.
I dont understand how anyone has fun with this game.
>Consoles aren't that bad and the PS4 is actually good
>PC gaming is shit nowadays with nothing but broken console ports and meme games
>Emulation is better than anything recent
>Valve is the worst vidya company
>Steam is pure cancer
>GoG is the real master race
>Zelda U looks really good but I'll wait for emulation
>we actually live in the second golden age of video games all things considered
Handhelds have been more appealing than consoles since the DS.
>>341662554
Play Dota. Go Bounty Hunter. You can do whatever the flying fuck you want for the first 10 minutes.
Alien Isolation is too scary to play.
>>341644920
>optional
If only, as they also happen to be unoptimised to the point of game breaking
>>341644242
Your mom is garbage
i actually liked SOTN voice acting
Having gender options, skin color options etc is not an issue and I'd be fine with most games having it. People who flip out about it are as reactionary and unhinged as the SJWs they fear
>>341663076
That's just common sense. I don't think anyone sane hates character creators that much.
>>341662554
People don't play mobas for fun
They play them because their stunted, ashy brains can't handle anything else.
>>341656947
Everyone was hyping up that we'd see it at the Sony press conference.
So I think all the Ace Combat fans are trying not to bring it up since nothing was said or even hinted at.Me included.I just want to see Strangereal again.
If a game is too mature to not appeal to kids or wild fantasy then it is autistic.
Serious drama stories should be left to novels and movies.
Games should be devoted to stuff like mario/sonic or high imaginative fantasy like the Ico games, Souls games or Final Fantasies.
In other words games shouldnt be taken seriously.
>>341663185
They don't. What they hate are SJWs trying to take established male characters and turn them into women because they're not creative enough to make their own characters.
>>341662323
Indeed. I like complex stories, but if a game trades gameplay for that, then I'd rather read a book, or watch a seven season TV show
I like amazing scenery and graphical action, but if a game trades gameplay for that, then I'd rather watch a movie. Perhaps something 3D in cinema.
I like to play games because I can do the awesome things. I know Dark Souls is overblown, but the moment when I use everything I have and everything I've learned, and manage to win 3vs1 fight, with almost invisible healthbar remaining, THAT is the feeling why I play the game. When I feel like I've fucking deserved this.
When I fight Vergil in DMC on hard mode, and finally beat him after a suprcombo, that is the satisfaction a good game can't give me, and I can't get from neither the book or the movie.
The story of the game is supposed to enhance that. Not steal it away to make more room for itself.
>>341661336
I'm excited for FFXV because I know the gameplay and atmosphere will be at least decent
>>341663408
See I have no issue with that either. Options are options and they are never a bad thing.
People wanting to prevent things others want simply so spite some group they hate are reactionary retards
>>341661349
Multiplayer for 98% of the time.
I've only dropped 2 games I can think of for single player.
>>341663690
nobody cares about it on rpgs, people just dont want their established character to become shallow because some retards want to self insert
>>341643998
People want to play the games the way the devs meant for it to be played. There is literally nothing wrong with that.
>>341664036
And I think those people are retarded
>>341664108
If you want your characters to be shallow, sure knock yourself out playing those bad games
>>341663690
Are you saying that literally every game should have a character creator?
>>341647319
>There's a reason why the genre is relatively dead now.
Yeah, casuals find it too hard. Quake 3 is the epitome of competitive fps and probably will be for quite some time. No recoil or outside factors means it's pure distilled skill in the form of twitch aiming, prediction, positioning and dodging. Lack of rng means it's put into the players hands whether or not they win a fight, rather than getting fucked by awful game mechanics. Map control is a big part of it and proper advanced movement skill plays heavily into that, raising the skill-ceiling tenfold.
You're kidding yourself if you honestly think something like CS or CoD is more skill-based than quake or even team fortress 2.
Overwatch is goty so far and is much better strategically than TF2, I say this as someone who played tf2 at its highest level for thousands of hours
every bethesda game is shit at its core, and I say that as someone who loved the lore of Morrowind. they're just bad games
bayonetta and ninja gaiden are the best CUHRAYZEE games, MGR is a pale imitator
>>341664205
I don't think having it detracts anything from the game. If someone else across the world playing a female version of a character ruins the character and game for you, you are a retard doing just as much damage to gaming as your boogiemen are.
Borderlands 2 is a fucking amazing game
>>341661337
>waahhh why are devs catering to their audience? They should cater to people who don't even like their games instead!
>>341643998
I think it's okay to be against censorship for the sole reason of honoring the artist/director's vision
>>341664340
So you mean that a character like geralt wouldnt need change a bit if they sundely made him a woman
>>341664340
>I don't think having it detracts anything from the game.
It puts a lot of limits on what kind of story the game can have, since it needs to accomodate a blank slate protagonist. Unless you think every single game should be an RPG where you decide everything the character says.
Peace Walker's gameplay is so unbearable that I had to watch it on youtube
