While Duke Nukem Forever does count, it's pretty generic.
Personally, I was very disappointed with Breath of the Wild. I haven't played a Zelda game since Wind Waker on the gamecube, but I felt like BotW was still one or two steps back. I can't quite put my finger on why, though. If I were to wager a guess, I'd say it's cause of how large yet empty the overworld is. Plus dungeons were not at all satisfying, even the more 'difficult' ones.

Valid points. There was not a lot to do and the world didn't feel "alive" enough. My complaints on the other hand range to the gameplay feeling stunted at times. There was a lot of room to improve on that, but they didn't capitalize on it. I also was a little pissed that you could only equip 4 active skills normally and only 3 with Warrior.

Most of them follow the same formula and just change a couple things.
I remember Twilight Princes was a very conservative zelda: didn't really tried anything new (bloom doesn't count).
BotW was a reply to zeldas like Skyward Sword that felt like having too little territory to explore. In BotW you are constantly looking for hidden shrines as a motive for exploring. As a consequence, they sacrificed temples (shrines equate to a temple room) and made the world feel a little empty without complex ancient ruins.

Back before release I went cold turkey on it and didn't check out much info about it.

Towards the end of PSO's lifespan, I speculated that the next Phantasy Star Online game was going to be a hybrid offline single-player RPG with an online PSO-like component to satisfy fans of both Phantasy Star experiences, bringing the series back to Algol (or at least a three planet system with space travel). When news of PSU finally broke, my heart sank a bit because it wasn't going to be Algol - and everything I was seeing suggested that the story was going to be shit, but I hoped against reason that I was wrong. Surely, at least, that the online component would build upon PSO's foundation and be a good half-step back in the right direction.
Fucking monkey's paw.
At least we got PSP2/Infinity out of it in the end, but then - they fucked that up for everybody by not releasing it outside of the PSP which was largely irrelevant in the US and hacked to shit - plus their registration system was fucking broken at launch and never fixed, so there was no way to identify and ban cheaters even when there was that whole PSP Remaster fad going on. Would have been (and still would be) a fantastic $20 title for Live Arcade or PSN last gen.

I think the reason we never got a PS3 remaster was because after Alpha Systems turned shit into gold with the Portable series, Sega officially absorbed them and turned them into Phantasy Star Crew, the devs of PSO2. One of the bad things about this is that the next Phantasy Star title was outsourced to Tri-Ace, which brings us to a game that definitely disappointed me: the steaming pile of shit known as Phantasy Star Nova. I'll never understand how Tri-Ace managed to fuck up so bad when all they had to do was copypaste PSO2 and add a new planet and enemies. I'm not looking forward to 2-4 years from now when PSO2 finally dies and the only way to get a PSO2 fix is Nova.

I can't blame Sega for Nova. That train wreck was all Tri-Ace's fault, and it was such a big fuck up that Tri-Ace went into mobile game development to recover from it. Your comment about music reminded me that the only good thing about Nova is the title screen theme. Sakuraba is hit and miss for me on his good days, and Nova's soundtrack was clearly not a good day for him.

Shit man, I closed out the PS2 servers, PC servers, and even subbed to the 360 version for a year. As garbage as PSU was, it was still one of the very few games available on the market that serviced that particular niche of multiplayer action RPG - and it was still top of the genre. It's just that the bar was so depressingly low and it couldn't even live up to it's by then antiquated predecessors.
Besides, once they started getting into rolling out the AotI content, it was tolerable. True suffering was being there for the first six months when barely any content had been unlocked, and if you wanted to actually see 80% of the content contained in the game that you already paid for was to play the offline story mode.

I was expecting some shortcomings going into MGSV. It's what comes with the territory of making a new engine/changing format. I had a feeling that the overworld would cause issues but it was worse than I was expecting once i realized there were only 2-3 decent sized compounds between both maps. It was the last nail for my tolerance of open world games really. it seems to consistently come at the cost of good level design. The game woulda been better if it just had a bunch of ground-zeroes sized levels because I spent plenty of time fucking around in GZ despite it being effectively a demo. crawling up on shitkicker outposts a hundred times is just a chore

With you exactly on ES2, I loved ES1 to death and I was really excited with the music and graphics in 2, the ship combat was vastly improved. But the more I played it the more it just felt a bit shallower than 1. And the new sort of direction they took the flavour elements, even though this is a minor aspect, really bugged me.
The United Empire in 1 was vaguely implied to be an autocratic cult of personality with corporate aspects, the Sophons were a race of naive but curious explorers, the Cravers were an un-caring and barely sentient insect people that have no understanding outside of war and reproduction. Then in 2 the UE are hyper-Nazis with your end goal to be (in all three quest endings) to build a super-police state no matter what stance you chose to govern your empire under, the Sophons are a "lel EXPLOSIONS xD" joke race that feels like bad Portal 2 fanfiction, and the Cravers are basically the same except their AI will ping you ever other turn to make sure you understand they have no interest in talking to you as their avatar threatens you like a cartoon villain (because I guess they bothered to learn the common language just to sling limp-wristed insults even though they have no concept of anything beyond Kill/Eat/Repeat).

While this line has bad sound mixing it's still the only time someone has ever actually got under Sonic's skin hitting his ego. that makes it really memorable.
Shadow in Adventure 2 basically was able to do everything Metal Sonic did, but now had good banter with Sonic.
But after Shadow "Died" and then came back, he has amnesia which really didn't help his character since the audience already knew Shadows past. Until his game retconed him into being part alien.

I tried so fucking hard to like this game. I might go back at some point and try to complete it, since I only made it to chapter 9 (I believe), but I gave it a fair shake and played past at least a dozen moments where I set the controller down and said "fuck it, I can't play this anymore". I don't know why they'd open with such a promising level as that opening village and then fill the thing with inanely scripted and insultingly gimmicky sequences. RE4 knew that if you're trapped in a building where zombies are climbing through the windows on ladders you should just kick down the fucking ladders, TEW doesn't seem to get it.

This shit disappoint me the most and i can only blame myself for not even looking up on this piece of shit's gameplay before playing it. I still hate it so much since i stupidly thought to myself that 'Hey, maybe this game will get better later r-right? Just like the trailer i hope'. Only to have my gameplay experience eroded until its pure contempt by the game's dogshit combat and dishwater-bland characters (except maybe the nigger he's kinda cool)
I swear, i've seen countless games that has trailers that went above its own game's quality. I mean just look at DoW III's reveal trailer until the gameplay came out and kicked 40k fags at the nuts.

Having to play as a nigger after Vice City was fucking painful. While I still like the game for its scope alone and for what Rockstar tried to accomplish, I despise Ebonics, rap music, gang culture, and niggers in general. Rockstar could do any number of interesting setting but the chose the low hanging fruit and opted for a nigger simulator.

What did San Fierro gave us? Tiny town, pointless driving school and Zero flying missions? That blind Triad boss who shoots and drives likes his the next Chow Yun-Fat? How does stealing a Jet Pack from an Area 69 relates to nigger gangbangers? There was way too few missions to properly flash out both SF and LV. San Andreas was a mess of a game. Rockstar spread itself way too thin and the game lacked focus due to that.

Dark Souls 3. Fuck all build variety, fuck all level variety, less content than the previous games. Even all the traps came down to "heres another fucking midget ambush".

All the details that make up the game are of slightly lower quality than the original, adding up to a mediocre game that also takes steps away from what made the first game special.

I got sucked in by the hype. At the time I was a complete Rockstar fanboy, who especially loved San Andreas. Then they released this dull garbage. At least it cured me of ever getting hyped for a video game again.

Saints Row 4. Skipped 3 because it wasn't on my radar at the time. The fewer number of side activities, the smaller world and lesser customization options is stupid. Thanos, the original Avengers, War Machine, Nebula, Ant-Man and Rocket are the only ones to survive the movie. Everyone else is either killed for good like Loki or dies via the snap like Spiderman

>It's been a while since I played the watch dogs, but I don't recall it having bullet time, insta kill attacks that were anything other than non-lethally slapping someone with your baton, or visuals that looked that good.
Not sure anon, although in the video the player takes a consumable that triggers the slow motion effect. Maybe you need negative morality to trigger lethal takedowns. I'm also pretty sure that this is the standard retail version of the game.

Cities: Skylines. I was expecting something that would counteract the latest shit installment of SimCity and instead I got a mess of a city building sim riddled with optimization issues and an incompetent development team behind it, only to have overpriced additional content lurking in the shadows at every corner. Mods are nice, but they can't fix a game that's broken from the ground-up.
Stellaris did the same thing too but somehow worse.

the series as a whole had a pretty troubled run tbh. Intelligent Systems' other games are pretty good. FE is just their long running series unfortunately. Play their wars series of games, the paper mario games, their puzzle games, etc. I think they work too closely with Nintendo now and it's just not good for their games. Too much interference.

I dunno how troubled their FE series as a whole is, as I've only managed to play 4 and a half of the games up to this point, but i fucking loved 7.
I plan on playing Days of Ruin at some point though; from what I've seen of it it looks very much like a game I'll enjoy. the other AW games look a little too lighthearted for me; dunno enough about Famicom wars to say anything there.

The game had bullet time at retail. The duration of the bullet time is given by that line with dots in the lower left hand corner of the UI. I remember when the game was released people were surprised at the inclusion of bullet time because the game had a heavy emphasis on stealth and indirect takedowns (I think more xp was rewarded that way too… but I forget), not to mention Aiden was squishy as fuck. He was taking the focus pills to refill his bullet time meter.
Lethal/nonlethal takedowns were based on whichever weapon you had equipped at the moment if I remember correctly. You had to be within a certain distance to trigger the take down.

Once you do some side activity in BotW that small section of the world you did it in, will never be of value ever again for the entire playthrough. This is a fundamental flaw with all open world games. The open world is pretty much just a list of boxes to check off, and once they are all check the map is empty and devoid of purpose.
Now keep in mind I actually enjoyed my time with BotW quite a bit.

To have an open world game that changes content/areas as story progresses or events take place so as to refresh "depleted" zones would require a monumental amount of planning, right? Even moreso for dynamic plots.
Would any publisher even bother any of that when a once-through wow-gosh! would satisfy most of the paying consumer mass?
