None of these are a hot take.

It's not a hot take but I wish people could keep it to a restricted friend circle instead of talking about it on Facebook or Twitter

You can say the same for almost every Visual Novels around.

But then again with that mindset then movies nor series should have a rewatch value

Alternate endings aren't impressive anymore.

I'm curious, since when? Do you have an exemple of a good alt ending?

Ok so I think my biggest hot take is that Dragon's Crown is kind of mid.

Might be shocking to hear since I'm a big Vanillaware fan, but I personally think they focused on the multiplayer aspect too much, and while I understand why they did it since the game is supposed to be like a DND campaign, it makes it not really fun to play if you're doing it solo imo.

Like you have to either playing with people in-person or with a group of people online in voice chat for it to be fun imo.

It's still by far, not even close, the best side scroller beat em up I've ever played.

I meant that it used to be impressive to have more than one ending in games since before you used to get the same ending no matter your actions, but now there are so many games (specially indie) with alternate endings that it's not impressive anymore.

So that's mostly a question of staleness.

to me its super impressive to see the main character murder everyone, no matter how many games do it!!!

Kirby and the amazing mirror and Kirby squeak squad are the worst Kirby games ever

 

[SwordBreaker39]

Final fantasy 13 is the worst game in the series square has ever made and lightning is pure crappy charter well honestly all of the charters are rather cringe as heck.

Last of us 1 and 2 is overrated slop in a tired and over used theme and the second game just teen drama with 0 good story writing relevant to the plot and it´s more about teen issues.

Star wars has not been good sense well sense 1 and 3. Manalorian is okey but not that good I honestly quit caring after season 2.

 

[tropicalavera]

just teen drama [...] it´s more about teen issues.

sounds like your teen years were ROUGH, buddy x_x;;;

Nah my teens where shit load of bullying but 99% of the time spent avoiding people so it honestly was all good. But that´s the issue your doing a zombie apocalypses game teen problem is the last thing last surviving humans focus on. Resident evil did the zombie trope best now zombie just a tired out theme that you seen a billion times. Wanna make teen issue drama game make not another teen movie the game.

I think my point was more "examining the complex, cyclical nature of revenge - life, love, death, and honor - and doing right by those who've sacrificed themselves for your benefit" is not what I'd call 'teen problems'? but maybe just, like, 'deeply human'?

Love is the last thing one would think about when trying no to die. your to busy to be in love when your life is at stake every day. Also Revenge when the humanity is a stake just makes you a petty worthless human that rather let humanity end just so you can go full on psycho and cave in a mans head.

But a guess even in the face of extinction humans would rather kill them self for petty things.

I hated the story and boring repetitive game play lets leave it at that.

 

[Skeetos]

Oh, and, for the record, Cave Story sucks gorilla dick through a crazy straw.

I get everything you are saying here, but at least in my opinion Cave Story is a bit different from the idea that it was made in 2004 before a lot of these indie games only did Metroidvania or Roguelite/Roguelike type stuff 95% of the time. But I'm also biased and think that Cave Story is one of the most beautiful games I've ever played. I've bought like 3 re releases of it lol.

Is this a hot take to say that no, playing harder games don't make someone more valid as a gamer?

I'm trying to get my homies into Ninja Gaiden. The one has had a bit of a hard time because everyone told him to play Black and OG2, which are considered the hardest versions of those games, I told him to play the new releases first and once he gets a grip on the combat and ends up really enjoying it to then go back to those and try to knock them out.

famously people HATE to look out for their loved ones in times of crisis.

yeah yeah im stupid and can´t see the beauty in the story happy now. If you don´t like that I don´t worship the game just say so.

This is a hot take and my hot take is I think Last of us is over rated and crappy written but that´s my opinion it´s not fact and my word is not law it´s just my opinion. Don´t like it don´t give a crap then.

I don't think it's a beautiful story (it's pretty plainly brutal and disgusting) and I'm really not even a big fan either.

You're allowed to not like it and voice your opinion, I'm not trying to say otherwise: I just think claiming it's about "teen issues" is disingenuous.

Understandable but to me it came out like teen issues allot of them and the story was pure cringe overall. As some one that has been force to survive not to die. Love is the last think I ever taught about the only thing on my mind is survive the day so I may se the next. It was not until after I could be happy that I survived to see my loved ones again.

Despite being a classic and iconic, The Simpsons Arcade is actually kinda crappy.

Bland, monotonous, even very boring in spots... I have never met anyone who actually wanted to beat it, not even the Queen Of The Mallrats herself, my cousin (a complete arcade junkie).

This was the era of konami's beat em up before they understood hitstun.

This is why the tmnt arcade games actually suck, but when you understand them, it becomes fun to basically get around the bullshit. It's just that they play very differently from other games of the genre.

Dude, do all of your cousins have some cool status ? "Queen of the mallrats" looks like the intro before the boss fight.

Nah, just her. She earned it, too.

You should have seen us terrorize mall.

 

[Bakuma1997]

I said it before and i will say it now:

Spec Ops The Line is a mess in a stick that tries to be a reflection about violence and how we don't care if it's ficional but ends up as hypocrital and Zero sense making the more you legitimally read the plot between lines, after THE SCENE i realized the writers actually we're the ones making all the violence while pinning it against you, and yes, i have played more of this self reflective games and i can say they are while not perfect far better planned (Bioshock and OFF comes to mind)

Visual novels are pretty boring when the only aspect of gameplay is to click to show more text and occasionally make a choice. It's not reading that it's the problem, it's the lack of a substancial gameplay.

This guy knows his stuff, it's funny how the arcade version of Turtles in Time is a kusoge while the snes port is a masterpiece

Isn't your pp from a visual novel ? I thought it was the Last Window' MC at first.
