Ever have a game thats not actually that good but something about the artstyle, tone, soundtrack or some other none gameplay element just kicks your ass because you love it far more than the rest of the game deserves?
For me its easily Bioshock infinite. I liked the retro futurism meets art deco and mild dieselpunk elements of Rapture but Columbias alternate 1915 Americana gone down another path was something i found really striking. Theres lots of styles like victorian gothic or high sci-fi we see a lot in games but this kind of "game by gaslight" setting is something there is not nearly enough of and its idea of a clean, beautiful utopia falling apart instead of you showing up long after it happened like Rapture made for a really compelling art style/assett set that i really really like even if the game is just a disappointment in every other regard.
Do you have a game like that?

JRPGs and increasingly more mobile games. Every time I see a cute character and think "Oh hey I might check that game out" it's from a JRPG or gachashit mobile game. It's infuriating. As for a few specific games, Asura's wrath for being a QTE fest and Warframe for being owned by the most malicious retards and being a skinner box. I love both those aesthetics but the games themselves are lackluster and would be so amazing if put in the right hands.

Everything about the world of Columbia was great (other than having niggers up there at all), including the sound design (I love modern shit rewritten to sound like pre-kike music). Had it been a COMPLETELY different game, it would have been groundbreaking.

Funnily enough i am watching Westworld for the first time -pretty fucking good show so far- and right in episode one i saw them pull the same trick when a wild west adventure version of 'paint it black' played during a bank heist by the robots.

I can admit that Alien: Isolation is probably fairly, but horror games just aren't really my thing, but I'll be damned if that 80's sci-fi aesthetic doesn't get me hard as a rock.
One of my favorite things from anime (the insane focus on making food look delicious) made the jump to FFXV pretty damn well, but I suppose that's to be expected of an 80 hour ad for cup noodles.

This pretty much. I love most JRPG art, settings, stories, and so on but I'm more of an action-adventure game person. Action RPGs are okay, but character progression (leveling up to get stronger) feels so inauthentic to me compared to actually learning and mastering the game for real. Repeating the same killing of NPCs over and over is annoying and the idea that you're so "strong" now that the monsters that could kill you in the beginning can't even touch you anymore is ridiculous to me. Possibly worse than for turn-based RPGs since in an ARPG you see the monster hit you and it does nothing no matter how thin the clothes you are wearing are. Some ARPGs are fun and well-balanced enough (not casualized but also no grinding required) that I enjoy it in spite of being an RPG, but the fact is, I'd like it if the nips made more action-adventure games. I'd particularly like another action-adventure Final Fantasy spin-off, but I can see why they wouldn't after Crystal Bearers.

I played Bioshock expecting a mediocre barebones gameplay yet it still went under my expectations. My issues with the game seems to stem from Levine's autistic desire to control the player's experience yet pretend that he has a choice. I heard that Levine keeps scraping entire games to end up with half-baked products in the end. I keep thinking that a robot made a generic FPS with some nice art assets only for Levine to trash it for being too fun and interesting.

Now that would be weird as fuck, considering westworld is based on the concept of if people could be 100% immersed into a game world. I mean the writers basically spent months talking with Irrational, Rockstar, and other companies for information regarding how they did world building and how they would design a place like WestWorld.
How would one even make a westworld game? License it off to TellTale?

I liked what it had going, with the whole revolution thing and you and elizabeth, but everything really fell apart. If it had a grasp on multiverses in a narrative use, and made the story feel necessary (cause there were a million times when booker and elizabeth could have escaped EZ and didn't) then it could be great. Same goes for the first two if it was more just escaping rapture rather than some convoluted shit about mind control, spy implants, and Ayn Rand. Although those could work if done well.

the narrative? I don't think that's the right word. It also jumped all over the place, introducing new things like a child would writing a fan fiction, characters acted like things they just made up and introduced were running themes and concepts throughout the entire game, taking it 100% seriously. I'll never forget the asspull of "It's a key…I didn't know it existed but I guess I had it all along" it's just so remarkably stupid. I can't believe they actually put a "ding" noise as that line began, what the fuck was that about it's like childrens TV writing.

Even though the world would be more technologically advanced if the Nazi's won, I think part of the explanation of that in the game was that they found alien artifacts.

I really like the characters and the art of these games. But I hate ASSFAGGOTS, I hate tryhards, and I hate chinks.

Doesn't that create something of a plot hole? If the jews had this sort of super technology, or at least the basics of it, for thousands of years, why were they ever "oppressed" by anyone?

>why were they ever "oppressed" by anyone?
Because God hates them. The Bible literally explains multiple times, and for multiple reasons. God literally hates jews so much he destroyed their societies at least 4 times and scattered them to the desert (they were never slaves in Egypt like they lie about).
God is jealous and wrathful. When you do things that invoke these known qualities in God (ohhh like say worshipping false idols and gods in God's own temples), you tend to piss off the locals when you actually manage to bring down God's wrath.
My counter question, knowing that the acts of jews have been recorded for history, would be why were they ever "allowed" to live by anyone? You would think that at some point in their repetitive 5000yo history of fucking everyone over that the kikes would have pissed off that ONE guy that hunted them down an executed every single one of them.
I look forward to that day… when all the jews get to kneel before Christ and beg for forgiveness knowing they were pre-judged and cursed to hell by God Himself.

Though to expand on the chosen people bit, that's a heresy introduced by the Scofield reference bible. It lied about the translation of a specific part of the old testament, namely that Moses's seed would be blessed, and misrepresented "seed" as 'all his descendants' instead of 'one specific descendant.' The passage referred to Jesus as being a blessed chosen one, not kikes being in some way divine. A basic understanding of the history of the talmud and a quick read through the new testament would leave you with the knowledge that kikes are the exact opposite of God's chosen; they're thrice-cursed by him for the crime of deicide.

They try to explain it away with your jew scientist saying saying "The chosen scientists were peaceful, goy! They only made weapons of mass destruction for the sake of it!". Ignoring that they apparently just gave in and died without a struggle, they still could have made technology only slightly ahead of the current age and still passed as regular people and won the war. The jew technowizards just giving in because they're "peaceful" was a fucking ridiculous explanation.
