Sith marauders in kotor2 was so broken lol. Bioware>obsidian entertainment I mean I liked kotor2 but the first was much better.
Letās not forgot that there is no ending for KOTOR2.
Yeah, they uhhhā¦kinda didnāt put one in.
I havenāt tried Gothic 3. Fan backlash says they hated it though, and more importantly, it was (and from what I heard, still is) buggy as fuck.
Gothic 2 is pretty ugly overall, but functionally the graphics do their job; not hard to make out things, etc.
Hate Gran Turismo.
final 6 and 7 are overrated
no more heros wasnt that great
portal is not the messiah
Diablo 2 gets boring quickly
NES games are remembered too fondly/ Being old school isnāt cool
double dragon sucks/ any beat em up where you canāt block sucks
Itās not cool to hate halo
Gotta love those threads that border on baitā¦
Nintendo hasnāt made a good console in 18 years.
CPS2 SF2ās sounds and music are better than CPS1 SF2ās sounds and music.
I whole heartedly disagree, and thatās such a narrow-minded way of looking at it. Nostalgia is nice and all, but classic games being fun has absolutely nothing to do with nostalgia. To put it simply, some games are just that fucking good. While incredible graphics leave you awestruck at how far video games have come, some games are just masterpieces, no matter how old and outdated they are.
Case and Point: Final Fantasy VI. I used to think that I enjoyed playing this game over and over only because of nostalgia. Not the case. I have two cousins who are 13 and 15 and never grew up to games like these. They heard of it and how good us old fogeys think it is, but were turned off by the 16-bit graphics. I told them to give it a try, and within hours, they fell in love with the game. They shared it with their friends, and the same thing. Theyāre all saying, āthese graphics suck, but why donāt they make games this good nowadays.ā
Starcraft, Mario 64, Hyper Fighting/Super Turbo, Mega Man 3, GoldenEye, FF Tactics, MGS1, Chrono Trigger. The list goes onā¦
Iām not saying that new games canāt be good. Iām certain that a select few PS3 and X360 games will become classics that will be worth revisiting when PS6 and X3590805 is out. The point is, it goes way beyond nostalgia. People donāt enjoy old games because it brings back memories or because enjoying them makes them part of the video-game elite. They like them because the games are good.
I said it before in this thread and Iāll reiterate it because given the lack of flames I got, Iām not sure if I was understood.
Super Mario World 2ā¦ SUCKED.
other unpopular opinions held by Dasrik:
- Final Fantasy 4 is hard. Stop laughing at me, damn it, I still canāt beat it without cheating to this day (whereas Iāve beat FF6 a few times legit).
- While I enjoy MvC2, it is not the arcade savior itās thought out to be, because it ostracizes new players so badly.
- As enjoyable as Lufia 2 might be to play, the ending makes it all moot. Worst ending ever.
- 4Kids actors in Valkyrie Profile kills any enjoyment to be found.
- Metroid Fusion is the best 2D Metroid game.
- Mega Man 9 is a step backward.
- Melty Blood and Guilty Gear are not fun games.
Gamecubeās tenure was the most annoying gaming moment in recent memory. Only because the main supporters for the platform (besides legit Resident Evil fans) were the staunch Nintendo fanboy geeks, that trash Sony and Microsoft about killing gaming or some BS, then shove the stupid Gamecube in your face at parties/get-togethers. The sad reality and irony of the matter is, Gamecube was a glorified PS2ā¦ except with the Nintendo logo on it, half of the games, and a controller that looks like it was thrown in a microwave.
About gaming = nostalgiaā¦ I prefer games based on timing and reflexes, and a system that keeps track of your timing and reaction performance during the game (through score or other achievements). And I always will. Those are the games that I play over and over again for years, while I only play story-heavy games no more than twice. Older games have a much larger selection of that type of gameplay I likeā¦ although newer games have better ranking systems and better rewards (Achievements/Trophies, online rankings, unlockable content etc) than back in the day.
Wrong.
Ogre Battle was the only SRPG worth mentioning until Disgaea came out.:mad:
Getācho facts straight.
I donāt disagree, but care to elaborate?
That had nothing to do with the demise of the Dreamcast at all.
-In 1998/1999, most computers shipped with standard CD/DVD-ROM drives, and CD burners for PCās still cost in upwards of $300.
-File-sharing apps such as Kazaa, Limewire, eMule, Bittorent, etc did not yet exist.
-The vast majority of the world was still on dial-up, so not only were DC Isos harder to find, the downloads would take bloody ages, and thatās considering your connection didnāt time out before they finished.
Bro thatās all ignoring the fact that everyone knew a guy that sold DC SB discs for a buck or two
Super Mario 64 was glitchy garbage with a shitty camera, still dont know how people think this game is great.
Comix Zone is an awesome game.
heavenly sword has one of the bestest storylines and acting in vg history. the game is too good, but i guess kinda short. i loved every second of it.
The Nippon Ichi strategy RPGs are hot garbage. Drowning a player in systems, sub-systems, levelling, and re-levelling is not sound design, itās just trashy Japanese-style grind gaming (not that the grinding mentality is unique to Japanese devs, mind you). The stories or characters are SOMETIMES endearing, but not often. Really all those games are overrated and donāt even touch the original FFT or ESPECIALLY the remake on PSP (flawed as those two titles are).
Castle Crashers is the best side-scrolling beat-em-up ever. And not just because itās recent. (Buggy as hell though; canāt wait for the patch.)
Gamers who actually pay for DLC that is basically just a 1K āenablerā file for content already on the disc are suckers. If you STOP BUYING THAT SHIT, Namco-Bandai might just stop doing it because they know it wonāt work.
All game devs deserve feedback, and any dev that refuses to accept it is out of touch with reality.
Just because you like a game (or movie, or anything) doesnāt mean itās good. Just because you dislike something doesnāt mean itās bad. Similarly, thereās a difference between what entertains you about a game/movie/whatever vs. its merits and flaws compared to other media of its type. Finally, itās perfectly okay to say, āI like X game, but I donāt think itās very goodā and the inverse.
PSO was a fluke. Sonic Team couldnāt get it right again if they tried (or got lucky again). But PSO is very heavily flawed regardless.
If a Wii or a DS game is entirely Wiimote/stylus driven, but does not use enough of that functionality to warrant excluding the option for a more traditional control scheme (or including a scheme but having it limited in some way that neednāt be there), that is a FLAW. And it is a FLAW because had that option been there, you could still have chosen the Wiimote/stylus if you wanted to. That you can āget used to itā does nothing to invalidate this. Games that do this include the first DS Castlevania, the upcoming Tales of Symphonia sequel on the Wii, Mario Hoops, and Metroid Prime 3, amongst others. Games that do the whole Wiimote/stylus thing RIGHT and in such a way that you donāt need a classic scheme include Mario Galaxy, Elite Beat Agents, and Lockās Quest. Smash Bros. is the king, though, letting you play with one of four schemes (despite needing better controller customization).
Despite what I just said, Brawl still sucks.
If Apple announced an iGame console Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo would be seriously afraid.
XBLA > PSN > WiiWare. And yes, Iām COMPLETELY AWARE of a 360ās failure rate. Also, I played both Super Stardust HD and The Last Guy. The former is really good, the latter is stupid, and neither makes PSN better just by itself.
Braidās existential, mysterious story >>>>>>>>> (imagine about a billion greater than signs here) >>>>>>> Evangelionās existential, garbage story.
Yuri Lowell is Batman. Flynn Scifo is Harvey Dent.
Regardless, the Tales series is still old. Only the coop multiplayer drives me to play them.
Ive never once understood the complaint of āshitty cameraā in sm64. You have to remember it was like, the first game doing something like that.
-X-COM is a top 10 game of all time
- Dragon Warrior 1 is just as good as Final Fantasy 1.
-007 TWINEās multiplayer is better than Goldeneyeās.
-Baldurās Gate Series is better than the Final Fantasy series.
-
Mega Man is nothing compared to Bionic Commando. Mega Man didnāt deserve more than 3 games. Not that much fun.
-
Outfoxies is one the coolest games most gamers have never heard of.
FFT remake is utter garbage.
