You're a great man and I salute you.Connor Voskamp said:oh and Dragon mounts is a stupid idea, and anyone who says otherwise deserves a puch in the head and a lecture on how causual gaming is destroying the integrity of great games/series.
Bretons are the master race in the Elder Scrolls
Gen 5 of Pokemon is great and people who say otherwise can go and try making it, so we can all laugh at them when the fail.
Visual novels such as Muv Luv are games and have more merit as games than that of games like COD.
Soldier is the crappiest class in Mass effect.
Ocarina of time isn't the best Zelda game. (Majora's Mask is)
Metroid Prime is the better than classic Metroid games.
The Megaman battle network games are the best games in the franchise.
Trolling is the only fun thing to do in MMORPG's
Dubstep ruins any game period, no exceptions.
Arguing over which console or platform to play a game on is stupid, and thus arguing over it makes those arguing about it stupid.
Blood, gore, swearing, drugs and all that Jazz don't make a game better in any way shape or form.
Trading in games is dumb and a waste of money.
Hack and slash games are boring and a waste of time.
Assassin's creed is a shitty game series, and has a horrendous plot.
Pirating games that aren't sold in your area/translated in your language, or are discontinued (IE:Super robot wars Alpha) is fine.
Camping in call of duty etc. is a legit strategy, and it forces other players to try new tactics/think more, thus making it a better experience for all players.
"no-scopeing", "barrel-stuffing", "trick-shots", "wall-banging", and all other related terms are stupid and repeating or practicing them is proof you are a bad player.
Fire Fly wasn't the best show ever.
Half life is not multiplayer. What are you talking aboutTopazFusion said:I'm not a fan of the Half-Life games.
I play games for the singleplayer, not the multiplayer [small](is that really unpopular? I'm not sure...)[/small]
That's not true at all. SC in particular destroyed an entire market in South Korea because of what the best players were awarded and it set the standard for what a professional player was supposed to play in that country. For every one "wanna-be" pro in any FPS I guarantee you there are 10 other wanna-be pros for MOBAs and SC/SC2. If "no one" gave a shit about the tournaments aside from fans, then why are they constantly the most viewed streams on twitch/justintv? The reach of MOBAs and SC/SC2 is beyond the scope of what some people think it is, not to say you yourself don't realize it.ejb626 said:Generally no one gives a shit about the huge ass LoL and Starcraft tournaments except for people already in the fandom. It's not going to sway the opinions of gamers in general. Also Halo and CoD have huge tournaments that are even more publicized because at this point FPSes are more mainstream than MOBAs ever will be. I mean MOBAs are a brand new genre compared to other ones, only dating back to DoTA which was in what? 2004? I don't see how they're damaging to the industry. They don't seem to be having as much of an influence on the gaming industry as a whole as the FPS.Grape_Bullion said:The large functions put up to watch "pro" players play these games and the money the players win support an unrealistic portrayal of what a "gamer" is, and the games themselves are nothing more than point and click math problems. While Halo and CoD dumb down just one genre, these MOBA games dumb down an entire platform of the gaming industry, and they're praised for doing it.ejb626 said:What you and some other guy askedGrape_Bullion said:My words
In regards to SC2, do you just dislike RTSes or do you hate SC2 for marginalizing other RTS games?
Well, God-tier is subjective, but PC is undoubtedly better than consoles for everything except comfort and accessibility.Gecko clown said:Oh boy, prepare yourself keyboard:
The PC is not God-tier.5
Those are all facts, let's be honest... Morrowind has a ton of flaws (You should def. not play Daggerfall lol), Portal 1 has flaws, Duke Nukem Forever is not worse than the Holocaust, and Bioshock was a great game for more than just the story...Morrowind is the worst Elder Scrolls game that I have played.
Portal 1 was good but not perfect.
Duke Nukem Forever was not the worst thing to grace God's green Earth.
Bioshock had a great story, that does not make it a great game.
Competitively it is undeniably worse. It is actually impossible to have the same degree of reflexes with a joystick than a mouse (which is funny considering that the mouse wasn't made with gaming in mind). This is easily explainable if you think about it. There is an x and a y on your desk that you can move your mouse to instantaneously to aim at any location you could possibly look at in an instant. No matter what your sensitivity, it will always take you longer (and be more difficult) to move to that location with a controller.The controller is a better way to play most games.
Agreed.Deus Ex: Human Revolution is shockingly bad.
Also agreed, but I didn't think the art detracted from the gameplay.Braid is a piece of artsy-fartsy junk that would be good if it didn't shove symbolism down my throat every two minutes.
If you didn't play it when it came out then sure... It seems overrated. But it was so cool when it came out. Maybe try Black Mesa if you want to experience some of that same WOW factor.Half-Life 1 is overrated.
Sure... no one wants a rushed product either.Episode three can wait, Valve are making good games as it is.
I'm not going to take this one literally lol. What you mean, obviously, is that EA and Activision are not as bad as they seem. For the majority of people it is true, and for some people it is only slightly true.EA, Activision and other such publishers are not not the source of all evil.
It does not put them above criticism, nor has "it's just business" ever been a valid reason to justify business practices that people may find undesirable.TomLikesGuitar said:It's a fucking business, and that's how life works.
All companies perform undesirable business practices. To think otherwise is plain naive...Lovely Mixture said:It does not put them above criticism, nor has "it's just business" ever been a valid reason to justify business practices that people may find undesirable.TomLikesGuitar said:It's a fucking business, and that's how life works.
A lot of those are popular opinions. I suppose it depends on where you're talking.Delicious Anathema said:PS1 > Saturn (bigger library).
PS2 > Dreamcast (bigger library, better controller).
Handhelds > Home consoles.
Half-Life is meh.
3D Zelda after Ocarina of Time is boring and unimaginative (and its design is horrible).
Steam is DRM, and I don't endorse a future where all games are tied to it.
I like Jeff Gerstmann's and Yahtzee's cold rants on things people love, even if I don't agree with them.
The Xbox 360 controller sucks (horrible d-pad and stiff buttons) and the Dual Shock 3 is much better.
Lone Survivor is a piece of crap.
Dead Space is the most derivative and uninspired game story I've ever seen (though the gameplay is mostly good).
