Hot takes

I personally think a lot of Atlus's moderen games suck. I think the only good game they put out in recent years is Shin Megami Tensei 4. A lot of their games just feel like they want to be the next Persona 5 which is a game I actually like. Not as much as the original trilogy but I still like it more than 3 and 4 but that might be me being biased as it was my first Persona game. These games where never all that hard but they are slowly stripping the other MegaTen games identity to be more mainstream which just makes them really boring imo. Oh also Doi's demon designs suck at least his female Demons they're all just woman and I love women but they aren't anything interesting like Keneko's designs

My hot take is that no Fallout game has particularly good gameplay, but I think New Vegas has the other Bethesda games beat in terms of roleplaying.
Tbh Fallout in general has better gameplay that most Bethesda games idk I personally can't get into their other games like I thought Skyrim was okay but idk just wasn't all that interesting compared to Fallout which I found way more fun

Zelda Breath of the Wild is boring and overrated.
This but with TotK lol. I like BotW granted not my favorite Zelda but I still enjoy the game TotK however is just BotW 2 in the worst way possible it didn't fix any of BotW's problems in fact TotK created more problems then it did solve them lol.

I have a hard time in general with shooting games with RPG mechanics, when headshots still are DPS rolls etc.
It took me almost a decade to figure out how to make Skyrim more enjoyable for myself, and once I discovered that it was by not leveling weapon skills until like at least level 20, the game, and even the combat, became much more enjoyable and tactical compared to the swingfest it's known for.

The best thing about Fallout is def it's cool setting though. It's got a pretty unique atmosphere throughout the entire series!
 
Oh yeah while I'm here I think From Soft haven't made a game that tops Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 2 is well Dark Souls 2 it's just very hard and everything about it is very annoying granted I still think it's a solid game overall but it's definitly the worst game they've put out in recent years and the worst Dark Souls game. Dark Souls 3 I like from a narrative perspective but it's just not as good as the first. Bloodborne is okay actually but I find the game underwhelming maybe because I got my expectations real high cause everyone says BB is From Softs magnum opus but idk. I played a bit of Sekiro and Elden Ring and I'm sorry I'm not particularly a fan of those two but I will try my best to beat them eventually. And I'll also try out Demon Souls to see if it's good.

I agree. I posted my thoughts on this somewhere in the depths of this thread a while back, but I agree with DS1 being the best one. I like DS2 because it dared to try new things, and I think DS3 is just an awful, soulless cashgrab with no identity whatsoever.
I like Bloodborne alot, and I think Elden Ring is okay, but I have no real desire to replay it because it's so staggeringly huge, and I'm pretty sure I explored every single little nook and cranny on my main guy.
 
It's funny you say that about DS3 cause iirc DS2 was the cashgrab I'm pretty sure Miyazaki didn't even work on the game and Bandai just wanted another Dark Souls game cause money.

Yaeh I know. It's just that I think it's cool they tried a bunch of new things for DS2 where everything didn't work, but DS3 felt like a massive overcorrection and safe bets which just coasts along on the success of DS1 so they lift literally everything from it.
 
Not sure if i posted it already, but the sega saturn i believe had the best controller of all time, add a couple of triggers, a select button and 2 thumb sticks and it would beat both the xbox and playstation controllers in the modern day.
 
Popful Mail
As much as I hate Working Design's translation work, I actually like Popful Mail's dialogues and find them quite funny. Honestly, the real problem with that release is how those guys fucked with the difficulty but luckily there's a patch to fix that.
 
The Sonic 3D in 2D fangame sucks
 
-The music took a nosedive with Etrian Odyssey 4 and 5
The bgm's style changed a lot after three, especially with Koshiro abandoning fm sound for the series.
What about the alternative fm soundtrak for 5 though?

I though this was a 2d conversion of 3D blast but it seems just a sonic fan game with music from that game. From what I'm seeing here, it lacks any mechanic unique to 3D blast like gathering the Flickies.

And thats why everyone seems to like it (its not the reason I dislike it if you ask)

I think you forgot the multiple uses of the R-word and the use of an old-timey slur for Black people. Working Designs wasn't exactly known for having respect for minorities, especially Black people. And note that this wasn't even the only game where they explicitly or implicitly insulted Black people; they loved to sneak that in where they could.
 
Final Fantasy as a series is overhyped as hell, the music carries it overall.
 
Sonic Xtreme wasnt gonna save the Saturn

The FM for EO5 is fine, but feels like something is missing most of the time. The normal boss theme is still pretty boring in FM though. Never understood why 4 never got an FM soundtrack

Didn't even think of this one but kinda true

Didn't know about this. Looked it up just now and the ebonics quote in Lunar 2 is ?
Surprised they even let that slide.

Sonic 3D blast on the saturn has one of the best sonic OSTs of all time and no one ever talks about it, take a listen.
I prefer the genesis version of rusty ruins but I agree
