What’s your guys’s hottest video game take that isn’t just negativity farming?
Mine is that I spent 100 hours in Starfield and liked it a lot lol

So most of the driving creative force and direction came from, oddly enough, Marty O'Donnell, the series head composer.
and ooooh boy, does it show
Just disgusting.
It wasn’t until the remake that I actually loved RE4.
These are bad directions for the Pokemon company. At least sword and shield looked competent and didn’t nearly monetize any shinies
SMT does have a neat way of doing it because your enemies are practically always out for blood and can put you at severe disadvantage
Trails actually combines that with the SMT thing of major disadvantage if enemies ambush you
God I fucking love Trails
I’m a hero, enemies should be itching to kill me. I shouldn’t have to go whack a goblin to instigate it
$70 is cheaper than a night out to dinner for two. About the price of two people going to the movies and getting snacks.
Games are usually dozens to hundreds of hours of entertainment. The price for SNES games in the 90's was $70.
yes, a lot of AAA games that have come out lately have been VERY bad, but we have also seen some absolutely incredible projects rise above the slop. Not only that but emulation of retro games is the most accessible it’s ever been.
The graphics for KotOR actually hold up pretty well, especially when compared to some contemporary games
If a game has a good story, it should have difficulty levels that go down to so easy it's basically movie mode
the launch of a game doesn’t matter in the long run
cyberpunk 2077 sucked dog ass on launch, it is now arguably one of the better open world games
halo master chill collection sucked ass on launch only had like 4 levels from 3 games or whatever, now it’s an amazing archive
is a completely reasonable way to consume that media, like i never got into destiny 2 (loved destiny one) so i just read the lore or watch videos about it
Don't get me wrong they are solid games, but I feel like they are praised and hyped way more than they need to be.
I see why others prefer the theme and story of Wildlands, but the combat is so smooth and satisfying in Breakpoint!
Bring back hour long, overindulgent cutscenes!
My hot take is FFX shouldn't have had voice acting at all. Beginning with VII, there was an emphasis on making the series more "cinematic"
By the time X rolled around, there was full-on mo-cap and VA, ignoring the fidelity of the series' toybox aesthetic and rewriting its identity.
The actual gameplay design of many of those levels leaves much to be desired, but the aesthetic design is often best in the series
While the OG was a shock it gave us a chance to think back on everything and appreciate what we did. I think it was really the death with no resolution that caused the outcry along with the usual sadness of a series ending.
It may be a good ACTION ADVENTURE game, but it should not be called an RPG.
I honestly don't know how you could make a more complicated story without having the surname Kojima.
Hell, I'll double down. If your series REQUIRES you to sit through four whole titles to understand who one mysterious rando is at the end of your game: it's an overly complicated mess.
All the side dungeons are slogs, traversing the world is tedious after playthrough 1, I hate the input reading, delayed attacks, and mega combos, and all the reused bosses irk me
And I really liked Gotham Knights as well, although I admit it was helped by some quality of life mods.
The thing had more content than many full releases *cough*WUKONG*cough* for approximately half the price.
Plus, I respect any designer who locks you out of their sequel if you don't "finish" the 1st one.
I did the first UEC mission, with the terrormorph, at night and was wowed. Everything else was the equivalent of unseasoned boiled green beans from there.
Has potential, but needs years of work and has already fallen off so we won't get that.
I'd say their latest success was Skyrim, but their prime was Morrowind - but more so during the era it came out.
-Cyberpunk was good at launch if you could run it.
-Metroid prime 2 is a fantastic sequel.
-I prefer witcher 1 over 2.
I got a lot
Games were made with a mindset of innovation and creativity due to limitations. You had to make the best games to sell the most games.
Modern games are designed as time and money sinks explicitly in spite of fun.
