Idk what zombie game has rail gun

 

[Xdqwerty Xdqwerty]

I think that it's good to compare yourself to others

 

[Bootyfan]

I didn't like that Mii Lego people thing Nintendo pushed for a while.

 

[Bakuma1997]

OneShot and Yume Nikki aren't Earthbound Like, they are more like a Adventure game and a Exploration game respectively

Its fine to say that you dont care about something you cant afford

 

[MajesticSiN]

It's okay if a game or movie doesn't interest you.

[Sleepstate]

uhhh I forgor my last one but i guess Kamen Rider Hibiki is mid and Ultraman Cosmos is good great even

 

[Retro Doomer]

well if this is not a hot takes I don't know what is. :=)

Remakes are 90% of the times just Demakes

Modern Pokemon games after the NDS suck

Oblivion is better than Skyrim in terms of worldbuilding and Story

Also replacing localizers/translators with AI is a great choice as I am sick of having my game butchered by some weirdo activists over some politics I want a authentic translation and not some weird slop.

I mean I do agree that learning that we don't need everything right now is a showcase of maturity but in the other hand most people often fall into The Fox and the Grapes fable, gaslighting themselves that they were never interested in that thing to begin with when they would've said yes if they were in sales.

It's okay if a game or movie doesn't interest you.

It's okay but when someone comes to a forum (of said game) to tell it that may be a bit strange. If they truly didn't care then why did they bother going there to tell it in the first place?

Sounds like they got upset that a piece of media wasn't made for them.

That's still strange but online people will always complain.



I'll add that Nomura did irreversible damages to the Final Fantasy franchise as a whole. Yes he did the character design for FFVII but I think that Amano has a timeless style.

Nomura's style was fine for other series like Kingdom Hearts or The World Ends With You because it's his series, FF should've been kept as it was.

I think that more videogames should make so that enemies run away from you after beating the dungeon's boss OR disabling random encounters when you beat the dungeon's boss. the only game that I know does this is earthbound and maybe chrono trigger

 

[SoThankful]

Hot take: modern games still look like PS3 games.

Had tones of fun playing ‘The House of the Dead:Overkill’
(I need to play the original, haven’t realized there was older ones before today, I feel silly)

Alternatively make it so you automatilcally defeat weak enemies while still getitng their loot and the minimal EXP they give at that point

House of the dead? I played the first game with a spider boss and all , it's fun i was 4~6 back then , didn't know there was a game called overkill

The Persona games from the Hoshino trilogy get worse every time you replay them,when you are older, There are so many flaws, immature and misogynist/LGBT phobic writing, Mediocre combat and dungeons, The same cliché of the human final boss being the fake one and the god/demigod being the ultimate and true boss, cast with little and poor character development and otaku trash fechist material.

Using search before making a thread is REALLY easy

It's good too but a bit less "arcadey".

I love HotD 2 the best next to the first.


HotD III is kinda the weakest yet I think it's a "fine" game.

I am sad that Rail Shooters got replaced by FPS...

I hate how ‘convenient’ things are pushed to be. For example the auto ai response at the top of searches, the ai assistant added to every, self checkouts, online appointments, and so many other things. And yes I see how a lot of those things have a very good reason to be but why is it the pushed and expected method. People need to be pushed out of their comfort zones and actually talk to each other. ‘Convent’ things so often come at a cost that we just don’t think about because they’re so easy we just speed through them(extreme example being sweatshops) .

A product to this is the minimalist design that feels so popular with websites - my family stopped using Netflix because my mum got tired of their bullshit. But we recently got it renewed and I was stunned to see the new layout

It comes off as an unfilled template . Just horrible

I’ve also noticed how YouTube has been slowly transitioning to rounder graphics

It comes off as impersonal and childish.

Another related thing is recommendations, more often then not is just the same basic stuff over and over. I have not actually watched anything recommended to me from an algorithm (besides on YouTube) for quite awhile. If I want to watch an anime I’ll start looking through everything they have categorized on sites like MyAnimeList from oldest to newest, the end result is me finding stuff I never would have otherwise and coming out with a feeling of victory

I totally understand people don’t have time(or make time) for nonsense like I do, but I honestly feel that is part of the problem. The push for constant convenience pushes for people to constantly be rushing through things that should take time (or even let them feel like they have a choice on how they spend their time), those things that make those quiet moments of contemplation. At least that how I feel bombarded with all this nonsense
plus I love I know I love maximize designs and doing things as inconveniently as possible, I’m very aware of my bias

 

[Ikagura]

Achievements started as a good idea but in retrospects it wasn't the best idea.

Before they were a thing devs managed to incite players to replay their games without the need of any kind of medal for them to brag about.

The peak of Shoji meguro It was Digital Devil Saga soundtranck

 

[Bakuma1997]

GOTYs are gaming's Oscars regarding how they only listen to the loudest voices or highest money instead of quality

 

[bjork]

ignoring empirical evidence about a thing you didn't have a full grasp of, just so you don't have to go "oh wow, I didn't know that, I've been looking at it wrong all this time" is an unfortunate way to go about things
