Video Game General 6.5: Now with more surprise mechanics

I think that the problem comes down to the fact that you use bad as a descriptor for not liking it.

Not liking something doesnt mean that is bad.
I for example, dont like many nintendo ip’s because they dont offer something that falls under my preferences.
Would i call them bad games because of that?
Of course not, that would be myopicly stupid from my part.

I also like games that are not necesarily good, since they are plagued with bugs and unintended glitches and exploits.
They are hella fun to me, but if i were to be objective i would never call them good.

People need to realize that liking or disliking something doesnt equate to the quality of something, they are trying to attach an objective descriptor to something tied to subjective preferences.

Millions of people like Trap and Reguetton (and i like some old school regueton), but i would never consider those stuff to be representative of quality music writing.

Edit

Also, people not getting something is sometimes a valid reasoning on why someone would dismiss something.
It wouldnt necesarily mean that the person who doesnt get it is less intelligent.
Plenty of people dont get the appeal of fgs, and just look it at the most basic level and think that is just button mashing where the person with no life memorizing the combos and moves has the advantage, while spamming and exploiting moves.
And even between fgs enthusiasts we have people who dont get the appeal of certain games because they dont understand them at the same level as their fg of preference (like when we have people saying that there is no neutral in games like marvel, gg, etc)

Are they idiots because they dont get fgs? Not necesarily (but sometimes they are)

Keeping with my music examples, plenty of people dismiss stuff like animals as leaders for example, because they say that because is too technical it doesnt have soul.
Or dismiss it as wankery and just the band members muscially masturbating while doing pretentious shit.

Sometimes people simply dont understand the appeal of something be due lack of knowledge or lack of interest on the core aspects of the subject/activity.

Sometimes they give it a chance, learn and end liking it, and sometimes they do learn give a a chance and still decide that is not for them.

So yes, i think that saying that someone doesnt get something, is a valid argument to make at times.

Shit tier waifu, pass.

i can understand having fun with something that’s objectively bad i like the drakengard games but i can’t really recommend people play them unless dynasty warriors at 5-10 fps sounds appealing to you. but i have heard that ps3 emulator can force drakengard 3 to 60 so i may replay that one day.

Got Double Cross, Planet Alpha, Sword Legacy Omen and Turmoil.

This was cute and wholesome.

EA will not be having an early access for Jedi: Fallen Order because they don’t want people spoiling the game

I know is wishful thinking, but it will be cool that this helps to start a redemption arc for EA.

The redemption arc is only possible if the game is really solid, sells well, and makes EA actually rethink their business decisions. I’m hoping but that 3rd thing is going to be tough.

Long post with pics of arcade cabinet incoming…

Took some time tonight to clean up the wiring and mount it and it turned out great.

On the inside of the cabinet is a board mounted to the side of the cabinet. That is where the KI2 PCB and HDD were mounted to. You can see the fan is pointed upwards right where the PCB would be mounted. And shit I need to get a new fan that thing is so damn loud.

Obviously the pi2jamma is much smaller than a JAMMA PCB so it doesn’t take up nearly as much space, but I had to mount it right near the JAMMA harness because there isn’t much give on it.

Here is the cleaned up wiring for the kick harness I had to make before I ziptied it to the rest of the wires, but even this was way cleaner.

And here is the final product. You can see I ziptied the kick harness wires to the big bunch that was running down the side already. And you can see the 2 wires that had to be hooked up to the screw terminal on the pi2jamma for P1 and P2 6 button. I tried to keep that a little cleaner too with the zipties and those terminals too.

And then here is a closeup of the extra wires hooked to the JAMMA harness for buttons 4 and 5 for both P1 and P2, connected to the pi2jamma. I tried to keep it a little clean too because the wires were a tad longer and I wasn’t re-crimping that shit. But it was barely too long.

If you all want to see it in action I took a video of it booting up and stuff so you can see how long it takes to boot up and the interface and what not, with a small video of it inside and stuff too. You can hear how loud that fan is so I’m definitely going to find a quieter one. Hell I don’t even know if I need one to be honest.

And shit, I am too damn big to be fitting into an arcade cabinet to ziptie all this crap.

i dont even have a real opinion on death stranding because
A) never played it
B) only saw the 1st 5 hours of the game.
its true i’m not the biggest fan of open world games mostly due to open world having large empty spaces with nothing to do. which is the major reason i think open world is a bit overrated. its just that my 1st impressions of kojima’s game made me think he wasnt either listening to his game editor or his wasnt strong enough on his back for cutting down some of his excess thoughts on how the gameplay should flow. specifically making the trekking through the vast landscapes less tedious. i think his visuals, story, and atmosphere not to mention the acting is strong… to then bog it down with “carry containers so far you get sleepy” gameplay. its a tad much on that tip for me at least. i’ll watch a playthrough, or buy it when its like 20 bucks max. but that type of open world tedium isnt for me.
i like hellblade senuas sacrifice and everyone calls that a walking sim. but its only 10 hours long. and i dont walk aimlessly through a large open world without much to do in it. perhaps kojima’s mistake was making it so big when less landscape might have been more. cuz i hear the game is 60 hours long. with 7 or 8 hours cutscenes so its like…making me think he wanted too much. his ambition might have been too much in making the game too big. idk. just thinking out loud here.
