I feel like there's some sort of timer, somewhere, and every time it goes off another one of these threads are posted.
I really like the Halo series.
I enjoyed Mass Effect 3, despite it's ending, quite a bit.
I like multiplayer, and think that most games can be improved by adding a well thought out one, if not a good jump-in/jump-out co-op.
On a slightly more serious note, I really like RTS, and with it becoming a very stagnant genre with Starcraft just dominating it, I'm actually kinda sad. Not too much of a point to make, but hey, not like anyone else here has been making good points.

Oh boy here I go.
I liked Diablo 3
There, I said it.
It probably helped that I bought it purely on impulse without having played any previous diablo style game.

strange, because when ever I bring up any of these points at school, everyone starts getting into a shit storm.Nazulu said:
I concur. Fighting games are not mindless, twitchy, button-smashfests, nor are they an exercise in thesis-paper style note-taking and comprehension. At this point, I have reason to believe that whoever honestly believes that never preferred fighters in the first place.StriderShinryu said:

Heres mine
-The FGC needs to die off big time.
-Same with PC gaming
-Third on LoL or any other MOBA game
-Most Indie games are smug, overrated borefests(the only exceptions are Lone Survivor, Legends of Grimrock and those RPGs made by the guys who did the third ep of PA3.)
-Devil Summoner is my favorite SMT series.
-I like the controller

I don't hate motion controls or tablet gaming, in fact I hope the next generation continues to prefect motion controls.
I don't think sequels or reboots are instant signs of lack of creativity, they can provide lots of new game play elements while still allowing the player to hook themselves with a familiar character.
I think games are to violent, not in the way that God of War shouldn't be made but in the way that 90% of popular games revolve mainly around killing, it's like only being able to see one genre of movie in the theater.
Half Life 2 didn't get rid of cutscenes they just gave you the option of walking around a locked room while a cutscene happens around you, and the end resolute of awkward and boring.

Really? This is your rebuttal? Wait... you go to SRK's front page a lot, don't you?RaikuFA said:
And even so, what does a handful of jackasses (who frequently make themselves known and often don't know what the fuck they're talking about, I agree) have to do with general mechanics? Most of the outcry against fighting games is that they're too complex, that one has to look up nothing short of an encyclopedia to get the basics down, which simply isn't true and we both know this.
Fighting games are like anything else: you need time, dedication, and knowledge to get better at them, whether that comes from an outside source like the infamous GameFAQs or your own trial and error/observations. And of course people will try to shit on you along the way, if for no other reason that, say, you prefer DoA over Tekken, or you play Siegfried instead of Nightmare in SCV. Pay those dicksucks no mind, go the fuck on about your own business, and let them be consumed by their own ignorance.
Correction: Jacked up the quote. Should be easier to read now.
i liked Doom 3 and thought the flashlight implementation was perfect for that game.
i like Starcraft 2 more than Starcraft.
my favorite NES Mega Man is Mega Man V.
i liked Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2, and hated the story of XII (loved the gameplay though), and absolutely love X (can't wait for X-HD).
my favorite fighting game series is Mortal Kombat, although i prefer Soul Calibur competitively.
i thought Borderlands was quite boring in general.
i still love Mario games, even if they have become generally unoriginal and it even tempts me to buy a Wii-U for the newest one.

Dishonored: The ending was a huge disappointment. I was having so much fun and then to finish with a turd sandwich...
Mass effect 3: I actually enjoyed the ending, because it was realistic and for big boys and I don't think they should have changed it.
Halo 4: it tanked...boring boring yawnorama. No boss fights, no significant story to enthrall me, just regurgitation.

I've got one that's really unpopular. I love Final Fantasy XII and think it's the best one in the series. It's extremely long, has so many lovely side quests, and while I will contest that Vaan and Penelo are annoying they were just added into the game because they thought that have Basch or Balthier as a the main character wouldn't be a good idea because they were "too old." They plays itself to a degree but you honestly can't rely on the Gambits because you'll still get killed if you leave all your actions to just them.
Next up, I think Fallout New Vegas blows Fallout 3 out of the water. Yes Fallout 3 had some more memorable quests, but New Vegas did so much right with the faction system, weapon mods, and generally making the game actually difficult when compared to Fallout 3. I don't know a single person who didn't go up to a Deathclaw past Sloan at the beginning of the game, or when they were at least level 8 or so, and got their asses kicked because they thought that Deathclaws were as easy as they were in Fallout 3. Plus I find that New Vegas seems to connect more to the past Fallout games made by Black Isle more than what Bethesda did with Fallout 3.

- I thought Farah from Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was a horrible, horrible, horrible character who I spent the entire game wishing would die. The obnoxious "sassy" remarks all the time. The fact that she can't even begin to defend herself in battle, forcing you to start a difficult battle over because a single enemy picked her off when you weren't looking. The romantic angle I didn't give a shit about because I didn't like the Prince, either - if there's one thing Farah distracted from, it's what a terrible character the Prince is, as well.
I mention this because I keep seeing her mentioned on lists of "top female characters." Are you shitting me?! No wonder games don't have a lot of female characters, if this is what's considered decent execution.
- I don't care if an RPG lets you level everything "too easily." I like being a demi-god, thank you. If you don't want to level everything, don't.
- I don't understand why multiplayer even exists. I think it is holding back the industry to waste time on improving multiplayer.
- Heavy Rain didn't have clunky controls; at least, not most of the time. Unintuitive, yes. Clunky, no. I've seen so much footage of people veering their character around like someone's drunk grandmother trying to back a family sedan down a narrow driveway, and it blows my mind.
- I recently bought Manhunt off Steam, and discovered it has a game-breaking glitch at the beginning. A quick look at the forums tells me that this glitch has existed in Steam's version of the game since an update in 2010. Are you kidding me?! That was my first purchase on Steam, and I don't think there will be a second.
- Games that claim to be violent are not violent enough. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a gore hound. I actually prefer games to be fun and relaxing (e.g. I love Ratchet and Clank) then dark and disturbing. But when people claim something is mind-blowingly violent, I tend to check it out. Just out of morbid curiosity, to see if it really pushes the envelope. Maybe I just have more imagination than most people, but it never, ever lives up to hype.
The aforementioned Manhunt, for example - yes, the concept is probably as dark as you could possibly get away with. The execution, not so much. In the little of the game that I was able to play, I pressed a button, and the game killed for me, and I got to watch a cutscene of it. Really? That's not more violent to play than your average horror movie is to watch. The game was supposed to reward you for torture - awful, right? Well, it does no such thing, as you don't do the torturing - the game does. It's like watching someone with a creepy fetish masturbate in your face. If you're going to pussy out on such a violent concept, don't make the game at all.

Last time I went on SRK was in January I asked for help relating to KOFXIII. Got a shitload of flaming for asking a newbie question in the newbie forum. There's no way to learn new mechanics cause you didn't learn it back in the 90's so it's kept secret from you.SageRuffin said:
Imagine if Michael Jordan did a press conference saying any one who started playing basketball after 1999 can't join the NBA no matter how hard they try cause they'll never be as good as the people today. Sounds silly, right? He'd get laughed at on ESPN and all the sports shows. In the FGC that attitude is welcomed.
