Video Game General 6.5: Now with more surprise mechanics

i understand what radiant is saying. its not like i dont get his point…but what is this shit where we need to do full completion. 100% a game to form an opinion of it. whats he doing with “you gotta do this and this cuz if not mute and void on thoughts.” bs

LMAO, and here we go again.
You are comparing apples to oranges.
Those 2 are objectively bad games due all the miriard of bugs and issues they launched with.
But you lump DS with them because you dont like DS.

You niggas sure love to make yourselfs look like idiots

Those would be subjective opinions Stu. You’re forming an opinion based on subjective elements being presented to you.

Yea and anyone who missed the Beta or Demo has nothing to say on how it performed. I can’t say I’m too interested in opinions about a games performance based on fucking trailers either.

I’m sorry…what? If you haven’t played the game and are trying to talk about how it plays…then Yea your opinion doesn’t matter. Sorry but it doesnt. You haven’t played it so you dont actually know. I’m not sitting here saying Bayonetta 3 is deffinitly amazing. I can’t say that, i haven’t played it. When a real trailer does finally drop and gets me hype I still won’t proclaim the game is good till I play it.

A little bit but the context between the two statements I thought was pretty clear. I’ll try again tho.

You don’t have to buy a game to have an opinion about it, but you do need to buy it to make definitive statements about it’s quality. I see plenty of games where I think “that doesn’t look interesting to me” and it can be for a lot of different reasons be it art, genre gameplay or whatever. You can have that opinion. The opinion you can’t have is “That game isn’t good, in fact is deffinitly bad even tho I never played it.” You can’t make that claim. You just cant. It doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. Your opinion is either half formed or second hand information. It’s unreliable in this situation because you have 0 first hand experience. Your opinion beyond subjective issues in this case…is worthless.

ive never read moby dick. or the book war and peace.
but ive seen both movies.
yea i kow there is a difference between reading the actual novel vs their film adaptations. but my dude. the movies are good enough for me to like both stories man.
sure it isnt the same thing. i know. we know.
but we get “the jist of it” my dude.
like.
for you to truly get the full experience of war and peace…you’d need to read it in its native russian. because when you dont read it in its native russian. with the exact words that tolstoy chose to dotand decorate his book…you are reading someone else’s bastardized version which they translated.
and things get lost in translation.
what do you want us to do?
learn fluent russian just to read one book.
cmon man.
we “get” the jist of it man.
we dont need to play
every
single
game
on the nominees list to have an opinion here. valid or not. we get the jist of the games on the list tho.

go read shakespeare in a language that isnt english. trust me its sooo not the same experience as reading it in its native english. he is picking a single word, out of hundreds with close definition to ornate a sentence structure. its not the same thing reading romeo and juliet in a different language. its not.
but if you dont know english, another language will do. not the same. but it’ll do.
to get the jist of the story.

Damn, that’s a lot.

That’s cool, I’m glad, those are good stories, just don’t try to tell me the quality of the books.

I also never said you had to 100% a game to have an opinion on it either. You can keep trying to say I said shit I never said. I will continue to be here to point out you putting words in my mouth that I never said.

I said you have to play it. That’s a real fucking low bar to set when talking about making objective statements about a game. Just play it. That’s it. Don’t even have to finish. Just fucking play it first.

Fuck you, I actually played DS cause maybe I was wrong. Nope just like Kingdom hearts 3 I shouldn’t have wasted my time.

On the stadia subject.
The only reason why i see google pushing for this for a while, outside the whole thing of trying to have a slice of the pie on the gaming industry; Is because as usual they are in for the whole data angle of it.

It is clear that they want to collect data for both their machine learning projects and to sell it.
How you play games, what games you play, howe much hours do you invest, etc.

It is the only way i see them trying to maintain the boat afloat despite not being a market for it.
No one is asking for this shit.

LMAO.
Nigga, just admit that you didnt like it.
That is fine.
What is inmensily stupid is to try to say that is a bad game because of it.
DS is not like FO76 and Failthem, and you know it.

The only reason why you keep calling it garbage is because is because subjective reasons about it, not because its quality or lack of it.

The only reason why people gives you shit is because you keep acting like a retard about this whole thing.

This is legit all you has to say instead of constantly talking in circles and beating around the bush.

But even with the first part I kinda meet you half way. Because a quality of something is subjective at best. There can be objectively great things about certain aspects of say a bad game, comic, whatever but a bad product is a bad product of that medium regardless of how “objectively” good some parts may be.

Like the SW prequels were at the time objectively cinema effect power houses and cutting edge but everything else just fell apart at the seams. Weak scripts, bad acting, etc.

Which I think what gasarki and you were trying to say was also but (to me) it was worded weird and heavy with contradictions and walking around the bush.

It wasn’t on purpose and Despite my initial confusion you could call it I don’t have some reading or comprehension disorder I promise lol.

dont bother, he doesnt like to read anyone that disagrees with him apparently.

everyone’s ego gets butthurt in arguments of opinions. and everyone blinds themselves to everyone else’s post lol

I dont have problems disagreeing with people, or people having different opinions than mine.
I am not a fucking child like some of you that gets butthurt because of it.

I have diagreements with a lot of people here (chad, radiant, pertho, stuart) and we get along just fine.

I have made my position on this subject very clear, that you idiots keep acting like fools and keep making the same mistake over and over is another thing altoguether.

You idiots keep trying to argue that the game is bad because you didnt like it, and when it comes to defending your position with valid arguments start going on tangents posting dumb shit.

Saying that something is an opinion doesnt shield it of criticism.
If you cant handle people calling you our on your dumbassery then simply dont post.

Was looking up what Gris looks like and saw that VG Animation Study actually did a piece on it

Pretty nice looking. Vid does have some spoilers in it so I wouldn’t play it if getting spoiled will ruin a chance of you playing the game.

I don’t think it’s bad honestly, just boring as fuck. Dumbasses like you especially call plenty of shit bad but jump to the defense of DS. Atleast be consistent. Lol

I literally said that in almost every fucking post on the subject Stu. What the fuck man?

Um…those movies are pretty objectively bad. Like you are correct about the special effects and filming in HD but that’s basically it. They are objectively filmed badly (bad framing, bad follow though, action can be hard to follow) and the scripts are fucking awful, not subjectively awful but legitametly bad. Badly writen, formatted. The directing is badly done. There so much wrong with the prequels on an objective level. Those movies are bad for a while ton of reason a lot objective and a lot subjective. I argued against this mentality when I said Scorcese is alright. Objectively he’s an amazing film maker Subjectively I think he’s pretty fucking over rated with long plodding boring movies that spend a great deal of time wasting mine.

I think you weren’t reading what we where saying and were seeing instead what you wanted to because we both argued that exact point multiple times. I don’t think either of us went in circles either, just dudes firing from the hip at what they think we said, or coming up with horrible examples that only help prove our position.

Nigga, i am consistent. I always point out the objective qualities that made or not something bad when giving my critique.
I also admit when i like something that i know is objectively bad.
The same when i dislike something, even if i know that it is a good game (like some nintendo ips)
That your dumbass ass keeps ignoring all of that is not my problem.

DS is a good game, but is not a game for everyone.
Is like Tool, Opeth and other stuff, some people will like it, and some will not.

I dont have a problem with that, what i do have problem iss when dumbasses come saying that something is bad because they dont like it. That shit is stupid.
Also, is not my fault that people start posting dumb shit and get butthurt when called out.

If it matters at all, i find Hecatoms preformed opinion about GG Strive pretty worthless to so hey you’re not alone or anything.

I appreciate him still posting content in the thread about it tho.

the major issue with that game is its terrible pacing.
you can maybe say pacing is subjective. meh. maybe.

look.

there is a difference between skill, and taste.
for example. me hitting a rock with a stick and calling it music is one thing.
but there is a difference between my music, and Mozart’s.
taste is subjective but the execution of skill.
isnt really.
there is difference between Hitler’s painting…and Manet’s The Fifer bro.
the difference is skill.

the problem.
is Death Stranding’s pacing. is bad man. like real bad.
that game shouldn’t be 50+ hours. its too stretched out. like jim sterling said. its overindulgent.
if that game was 25 hours. admit it. it be way better in every way. the experience.
that whole 5 hours gameplay, 1 hour cutscene, 5 hours gameplay, 1 hour cutscene. for what the game is…nah.
just nah.
its too much man. its good direction mutilated by bad bad editing.
i dont think thats subjective tho. bad editing is bad editing. he coulda cut that down timewise imo and the game overall. the experience would be better.

would it be…worse?
the experience?
if the game was 25 hours instead of 50?
i doubt it.

like remember that kojima at one point, wanted to make a MGS game where you fought the final boss fight for 2 weeks real time? remember when he wanted to do that and Konami said fuck no.
i dont think Kojima has any clue what good pacing looks like. he needs, help in that regard. his skill. in pacing a game. NEEDS WORK bro.
that, imo. is objective not subjective
