But I feel like they hate it for the wrong reasons. It’s valid to hate its boring gameplay but the series and other games like it should be hated much more openly and ferociously for being disgustingly blatant propaganda for the military industrial complex. Due to the licensing of the tech and weaponry it also literally contributes financially to wars and suffering.
Fr, love how ppl focus on hating on the new wave of woke propaganda on games but fail to realize propaganda has been a thing since so long ago with games that are so popular
Elden ring is more colorful than the other souls
"Woke propaganda" huh? Right…
I think that most people have trouble articulating this, and I do too, but to me I feel like most people don't hate the minorities themselves. I think that it comes from this feeling that what they call "woke" is just triple A games treating it as a selling point without putting any actual effort or respect into it. There ARE good games made by minorities, featuring minorities or about minorities that are very good and beloved. I am not denying terminally online people who hate these games BECAUSE of it or that they're rasist don't exist, you're not wrong on that at all, I just think that there are many in the middle of the crossfire who notice how a lot of this triple A "representation" is just trying to bitterly sell a product. I haven't played Veilguard but that scene everybody shared of the character doing push ups as a punishment for misgendering someone comes to mind. To whom is that scene directed? Is a petty revenge fantasy, just make the characters respect the pronous of all of them always and treat them like normal people, plus the character coming out as nonbinary is not bad but it was a missed opportunity to write a better way to portray how a situation like that could go along, especially in a fantasy setting where gender roles could be played with more freely...
When something deemed not woke has poor writing its just called poor writing.
I understand where the energy comes from but I don't think this level of aggression is gonna do anything but derail the thread completely and more importantly, end up with someone getting banned.
Yeah fair point, personally I think there's more nuance to it but I think it's a me thing, you're not in the wrong...
I’ve just had it with the anti-woke stuff, the endless dogwhistles and the discourse on people’s literal existence, especially in the current rapidly worsening geo-political reality. If this forum turned out to be a place where anti-woke nonsense goes unchallenged I’ll gladly leave.
ohh yes GTA V and Undertale are definitely things to mention go on go on I wanna hear ya
For GTAV, I think the story feels "directionless" I don't know the right word for it, It felt like a low budget action movie with no clear message. The characters and endings feel flat. I've finished the game once and sold it along with my xb360. The atmosphere felt weird too, everything is satire and I can't take any of it seriously. Content wise, yes, it really is the best gta in that aspect. Sadly, the cooler stuff is in GTA Online. I'm not playing that.
I would argue it's a fundamentally broken action game that glues everything with some ridiculous design choices to hold on. The mere idea, of having butt arrows on Kratos at all times just highlights how impractical that camera angle was for an action game; as well as the melee magnetism that plays a big role since the camera cannot assist you in knowing the distance.
Oldschool god of war games felt like they were using the greatest hits of then-contemporary gaming tropes, modern god of wars feel like they capitulated to the worst ones of current AAA games. They look really pretty though, I respect the hard work that went into them, but the Hollywood blockbuster equivalent of the gaming industry often comes off like its embarrassed to be a game and seeks validation from audiences that don’t typically respect the medium. Admittedly there are way worse offenders than god of war though. At least it still has some gameplay.
Yes! I have never been a fan of 3D platformers to begin with, but I cannot understand how that game is so beloved by gamers. Even at the time I thought it was blocky and awkward looking, the camera movement gets in the way at times, swimming controls are a nightmare, and the turning is just sluggish in general. I have tried playing it multiple times, but just can't get into it.
I loved GTA 1-3 and Vice City, but did not enjoy San Andreas or IV. San Andreas has some of the worst, most annoying missions and not just "Follow the Damn Train, CJ" and the David Cross remote control garbage. GTA IV seemed like it was trying too hard to be offensive at times and the voice acting got annoying really quick.
SM64 looks fine for an early platformer but I don’t like the controls or the camera too.
that right there is the uchikoshi way glad you figured it out. now youll proceed to notice this pattern reading every other game hes ever worked on while noticing that all he does is reuse the same twists each and every time ad nauseam. have fun
I came running here to say this. I also don’t like the art design. The graphics are beautiful, but the monsters and worlds are so bland and generic, especially once you get out of the snowy areas.
I agree but in the same way it's like shooting at the ambulance if the game is already being hated or sounding like a contrarian if it's a loved one.
