/v/ - Video Games

I dropped Bloodborne on my first playthrough,i didn't liked that you had few weapons to choose from.Fast forward a couple months after i read Lovecraft and i don't know why i picked it up again,i loved it and now it's probably my favorite game,everything clicked.

>>16915349

skyrim

I used to not really appreciate morrowind because of how slow the game felt, It wasn't until soon that i slowly began to enjoy it because of mods and the fact i could manage the speed by attributing to the speed stat. I also used to hate Dead Rising 1 and 2 because I was bad at Time Management but those two games also grew onto me.

Breath of the wild. Loved it the first time I played, went on a marathon of old Zelda games and then tried playing it again and found myself just really bored with it.

>>16915349

> Games you used to like but now just despise

The Pokemon series. It's been going strictly downhill since at least Generation 6.

>Or because the community got super shitty

That's a big part of it, too. Too many "people" defending the games getting worse and worse.

>>16915487

>I also used to hate Dead Rising 1 and 2

Same here, when they came out I was too impatient and was a nightmare for being a completionist at the time so missing survivors, or failing shit through time constraints really burred my ass back then, fucking around was fun but I didn't get very far with them. I played them again a couple of years ago in a very different mindset and had a blast.

Most open world games. I used to like the idea of freedom and immersion but now I don't really can't get into any games deep enough to care or explore.

Not really a game so much as a genre, but I used to love JRPGs once upon a time. I'm not sure what made me come to hate them, but they're all a painful slog for me these days. The writing is never especially compelling, the gameplay is too slowpaced, and even if the OST's good I can just listen to the album.

<Hate -> Like

>Fallout 1

I couldn't get past the interface and simplistic combat when I was a teen, but later on I completed the whole game and thoroughly enjoyed the writing, pacing and quest design. From a plot cohesion perspective, one of the best RPGs ever written that manages not to leave any loose ends while also leaving the door open for a sequel.

>>16915487

Similar experience here. I wanted to like Morrowind because of the cool environments and good music, but because I failed to grasp the basic RPG mechanics of the game for so long (namely combat), I didn't enjoy it until much later.

>Tribes: Ascend

Simply put, the game got better as time went on, but the devs handicapped themselves by launching with unnecessarily grindy unlocks for shit that should have been available from the start. By the time they fixed their stupid bullshit everyone had lost interest. All of the classic weapons should have been unlocked from the beginning, and all sidegrades and other bullshit would be the unlocks, much like TF2. Instead they gave you the bare minimum necessary to spawn as the 3 different armor types, which means there is no way for you to play Light armor without being a flagrunner, which is utterly impossible for a brand new player because they have no map knowledge. Also, the game launched with the bullet weapons being hitscan, if I recall right, which was complete bullshit.

>Like -> Hate

<Dota 2

The reasoning for this one should be obvious. But, oddly enough, I found that the community actually became MORE insufferable over time, rather than less. It was at its best during the "closed" beta. Sure, I can mute faggots, but when every casual all pick game has some faggot trying to boss the whole team around while half of his commands/advice make no sense gets really old after a while.

>Rainbow 6 Siege

Was fun when it just had the first wave of operators, then things gradually slid downhill as time went on. I thought it would get substantially better when they announced the recoil system change from "let's just jitter your fucking screen around randomly" to the crosshair actually reflecting where your bullets will go, but I was wrong. Still riddled with retarded netcode and perspective inconsistencies which prevent it from being truly competitive or skill-based. Also, Ubisoft becoming steadily more authoritarian over time didn't help.

>>16915499

Calling RE4 survival horror is a stretch. It's a fun game, don't get me wrong, but definitely not survival horror.

Team Fortress 2, though you'd be hard-pressed to call it the same game as before.

I can't think of any games that I now hate, only games that I initially didn't like then later tried again and liked it. Just about all of them being due to not having a sufficiently developed brain at the time I played it, and in some cases held a false framing even when I got older so still couldn't enjoy them yet until recently.

Despise is the wrong term, but any game I beat 100% I can never play again. Even something like OoT, my mind just plays through the game in about 30 seconds and I just think "is there any point in me actually playing the game?"

Exceptions are classic arcade games which always work. E.g. Galaga 88', TGM 3, Galaxian, Dig-Dug, Frogger, etc.

If more specificity is needed, Runescape (used to be fun when it was active with real people/friends–it felt like an actual world). Adventure Quest (now just feels like a grind). Maple Story 2 (feels like a grind).

The same thing happened with LttP and only attempting to speed run it gave me a little bit of feeling for playing it again.

>>16915349

I've warmed up to DX: Invisible War since DX: Current Year 1 & 2. Sort of like how after the star wars sequels came out you might look at the prequels and say "I guess II and III could have been worse."

>>16919546

Same. I don't know if they changed to become more LCD, friendship-simulator weebbait, or if my expectations are just higher as an adult. It's always a disappointment, and I can never really explain why. It's simpler to explain mechanical inadequacies: how much of the gameplay could I solve in five minutes with a lua script?

>>16919567

I second this. I loved the fuck out of vanilla TF2 but it just got more and more shit to me with each update

I don't think I ever loved Fallout 4, but I found it fun for a quite a while. Now, though, I absolutely hate it and everything it stands for.

On a similar note, I have spent literally thousands of hours playing Skyrim. It isn't that I hate the game now, but it's done for me; it's a closed chapter; there's nothing else to do and I am absolutely certain that any genuine creativity at Bethesda Game Studios is completely gone now. They won't release a good game again.

>>16915349

>Wacraftlore an universe

i used to be really into, but WoW made it all a joke, i still love WC3 to death though.

>Skyrim

>Fallout 3

>Sekiro

I never really hated, but i thought it was going to be shit as most anons if i remember correctly when it was announced and shown, i even mocked a bit irl friends that looked forward to it for good reason, they even bought Anthem and FO76, pirated just out of curiosity and really quickly it clicked with me, i love it now.

>I also know that some people used to enjoy the Metal Gear games before 5 happened and how it outed Kojima as some hack fraud

You mean 4?

For me it's the Worms series. I just have no patience for them anymore, as with a lot of turn based games these days. To be fair, I think it's because of my friends that I grew to hate it as they play Armageddon everyday and nothing else and get annoyed when I say I want to play something else for a change. In the end I just started ignoring them when they bug me for the third time in a day to play it.

I haven't gone back to a lot of games in recent times, but last year I wanted to replay Soldier of Fortune II because I had good memories of the game and hadn't played it in at least 10 years. I started playing it and instantly hated it, the whole thing felt like a clusterfuck and I didn't enjoy any part of it so I played a couple more levels to make sure it wasn't just some bullshit at the beginning of the game and stopped playing.

I guess another example could be Dino Crisis 2. I loved that game to bits as a kid and replayed it a ton of times, but then I got a hold of the first game and loved it even more. A couple of years ago I replayed both games, I still loved the first game but when I got to the second one I was disappointed because of the change in the atmosphere and depth of the story, and the controls were bugging me because they felt inappropriate for a game with so much action coming from all sides. Overall I guess I didn't completely hate it but I was rather disappointed.

>>16919905

>I learned about Working Designs and Victor Ireland. I need to play through the fixed hack version.

As far as I know, there's only parameter restoration patches. WD chodesucking fanbase will not allow any fan retranslation to come to fruition, because Viccy's work is "beloved", everyone who speaks English needs to experience it, and therefore such an effort is unneeded, or something. I suspect if a retranslation ever not only occurs, but finishes as well, it'll have to be from anons, or some other rare group that won't cave to their screeching.

>>16919949

You're better off learning japanese already instead of waiting forever for a good retranslation of pretty much anything. I'm glad I did, played the Saturn versions of both Lunars and they were fantastic

>>16919949

Oh, the Un-Worked Designs patch doesn't fix the translation? Disappointing, that kinda makes me want to not bother at all. I don't care that much about the difficulty. It's a simple RPG and most problems can be solved with item spam.

>>16919982

Nope. None of those do. And given the nature of all them having been handled by Working Designs, I wouldn't be shocked if the western fanbases of Lunar, Alundra, Popful Mail, etc are more fans of Working Designs than they are Game Arts, Matrix Software, Falcom, and other actual developers, considering how often I'd see those sorts claim the Japanese can't into good writing and that Working Designs actually made JRPGs not only tolerable, but actually likable, to them for once. Faggots.

TF2, then I played it too much and just started getting really annoyed at all the bullshit added to the game.

>>16919486

Because the core gameplay elements of most open world games are severely lacking. The best explanation I've seen is they're oceans that're an inch deep, once you've seen something in one place, all it is is that same thing copy pasted into a dozen other places with very little/no variation, no extension, no combination. Just doing it again, and again, and again, to pad out the time with barely enjoyable gameplay elements, but no complexity.

Consider the famous open world games, now consider what the gameplay loops of them are, whether it be crafting, or travel, or combat, etc. Think about the complexity or skill ceiling in them. Then compare that complexity to a game that's devoted to that concept and how much more enjoyable it is. Compare Dark Messiah's first person melee combat to any of the Elder Scrolls FPM combat, or DMC's combat to BotW's combat.

Open world games could be much, much more enjoyable if they put some effort into the core gameplay elements.

>>16915455

Same with me for smash bros, the Switch version just being a port really left me disillusioned. It doesn't help that the series is aggressively monetized now either.

>>16915559

it's a much more pleasing game than many gave it credit for, I think I'm one of the few who wasn't disappointed with it (though I am disappointed by the lack of sequel)

>>16919723

>I never really hated, but i thought it was going to be shit as most anons if i remember correctly

I think you don't remember correctly, I remember people being intrigued by it

>>16919546

>I'm not sure what made me come to hate them

I'm wondering what made you like them. 99% of JRPGs feel the exact same, with the exact same combat, same boring dialogue, same insipid story that awkwardly tries to be meaningful, the same tropes, the same lame world building and the same bossfight against God. Nips have no fucking idea how to make a good RPG.

>>16920115

I quit playing tf2 too after I had over 1400 hours.

The straw that broke the camels back was that stupid fucking duck update back in I believe 2014.

Its been over 5 years now that I stopped playing it holy shit, that game was too fun, I wasn't playing because I enjoyed it, I kept on playing because I was mindlessly addicted to it

>>16920710

>that game was too fun, I wasn't playing because I enjoyed it

What

>>16920722

I got what you meant but you have to admit the phrasing was kind of retarded

>>16920812

>the phrasing was kind of retarded

No, it wasn't. The only think I'll admit is that you're a faggot who sucks horse dicks on a daily basis.

Too much of anything isn't good for you anon, including fun.

>>16920825

I'm only struggling to understand your definition of "fun" because how the fuck can you "have fun" with something you don't enjoy? Perhaps fun is just a buzzword afterall

>>16919563

What is making me dislike R6 Siege more and more is the pandering to the esports fags. Ubisoft blacklists maps from being playable even in unranked because of "pros" bitching they are not balanced. They also nerfed Lion to the point of being as useful as recruit, and while I don't give a shit about Lion it sets bad precedent.

>>16919723

>but i thought it was going to be shit as most anons if i remember correctly

So you just got here huh

>>16921490

I liked it because it was something new and interesting at the time, but now its gotten so stale I can't even play it for more than 2-3 hours without feeling my soul getting drained out of sheer boredom. I saw all that I ever needed to see and its going to stay that way with hardly any change forever.

>>16921722

>>16920127

I remember many posts saying it was gonna be shit, just dark souls with a samurai paint job, that the stealth system looked half assed at best kinda true and the usual shitting on FS just cause.

Granted i didn't have that much interest at the time so it's not like i read every comment.

>>16915538

I still liked Brawl, but there's a reason Melee is generally considered the best one. Anyway my main point was that DLC kiked out the fun of unlocking characters

>From Like to Hate.

Online RPG's. Communities feel like they're either no-fun-allowed min/maxers and/or adults who never grew out of whatever they called memespeak when they were adolescents. Supposing level-headed communities still exist in these types of games, then I am ignorant of what they look like or how to communicate with them, and I do not feel like learning how to do these things.

>From Hate to Like.

Can't think of any. I think for games I hate I end up forgetting them unless I played them a ton before hating them.

>>16915466

>>16921490

Between Redstoneshit and Noteblockshit, I can see why some people enjoy Minecraft. On the other hand, I can't understand Terraria at all. It's a half-baked action-adventure with equally half-baked crafting and not very fun building. If you want the adventure elements, there's hundreds of games from the 80s and 90s, and probably some indieshit too that does that so much better, where you're not bogged down by needing to grind resources. The little time I spent in Terraria, I had no interest in the slightest going for the bosses, that's just not why I'd play that kind of game.

And if you want the crafting, again, there's probably far better games for that. Sure, Terraria might have 60 armor sets but who gives a shit when most of them are indistinguishable in functionality from one another? And while the weapons are more unique, I could never get past the "haha lol le funny meme/pop culture reference" weapons, shit always pissed me off.

And while Minecraft is probably more intuitive than a 3d modeling program, Terraria is certainly less intuitive than the average image editor/pixel art tool, so even for just building I see more of a point in playing Minecraft.

>>16920676

You could say the same, even more severely, about every western RPG made past the year 1999 or so, probably even earlier.

I fucking loved TF2 back in the day, but all the stupid cosmetics, bad weapons and general memery has turned me off the game.

Don't even get me started how out can put the Pyro in a literal fucking fursuit now

>>16922183

>I can't understand Terraria at all.

>It's a half-baked action-adventure with equally half-baked crafting and not very fun building.

Anon, if you can't understand it, why are you talking shit about it? You hardly even played the game or know what it has to offer, one can only get a true understanding of it if one played it for at least a while. I played minecraft for hundreds of hours so I know everything that it has to offer, which isn't that much at all. If its a genre or dimension about the game that you simply don't like then its fine, Terraria obviously isn't everyones cup of tea, but the game is overwhelmingly loved and sold over 30 million copies, much more than "some indieshit too that does that so much better", for a reason you know?

Because Terraria is one of, if not the absolute peak of what an indie game could be.

Thats how everyone who plays Terraria typically has hundreds or even thousands of hours in the game, its insanely addicting and replayable as hell, not to mention beautiful and comfy too.

>And while Minecraft is probably more intuitive than a 3d modeling program

Nigger no its not. Its cube legos. You just place different colored blocks on top of and next to one another.

>Terraria is certainly less intuitive than the average image editor/pixel art tool

Were you one of those guys who would call Terraria "2d minecraft" 9 years ago?

You should see some of the crazy things people built in the game along with all of the extra things people have to make builds such as actual furniture, multitudes of light sources, technology gizmos, and much more. Really, me describing it doesn't do it any justice to the sheer amount of substance the game has, especially compared to minecraft, also videos can do it much better than I can.

Team Fortress 2. Game really went downhill after the mannconomy, but Meet your Match just killed it. The match making servers barely worked, and when they did matches were far shorter than they used to be, and the community just evaporated. Valve does nothing but jerk themselves off to VR, a fucking card game nobody likes or even wants to like, and the occasional walking sim when they're forced to, so there's no hope of ever getting rid of that garbage. I just wished they stopped before trying to compete with fucking overwatch.

All of counterstrike. I used to love that fucking game, but all things die eventually. All the community servers I played in are long gone, all the fun gamemodes were killed in the latest version in favor of hyperballancing the game for "muh competitive gameplay" because how dare anyone have fun in a game that isn't sanitized e-sports. The straw that broke the camels back was the nerfing of the movement system, fuck you if you want to avoid getting immediately slaughtered because one guy nicked you, gotta lose all your movement speed because e-sports. I just want my damn minigame and surf servers back, but minigames are dead because valve decided to remove fuckloads of features in go and surf became timed surf or nothing thanks to the exposure leafy gave it.

>>16922358

FUNC_VEHICLE DID NOTHING WRONG

>>16922343

>Minecraft is shitty for the sole reason that is 3D, your vision is always limited to first person

I feel exactly the opposite, i like Minecraft more because Terraria is 2D

While I can't say I came to despise it, I went from "definitely buying this someday" to "pirating the fuck out of this to not support SJWs" when I found out that Subnautica's sound designer was fired for twitter posts he made that mocked SJWs. I refuse to give a penny to any company that would fire the most talented person on their team for wrongthink. Every time a leviathan carefully deposits me and my moth inside a solid structure or the game is still loading after 4 minutes, I can't help wondering if Subnautica would have released in such a piss poor state had they hired programmers based on merit and not on how many times they've virtue signaled in support of trans rights.

>>16915349

>horizontal shmups and shmups with slowdown or on slower hardware / not arcade quality

I noticed that they're just total fucking garbage most of the time, sure it's not as bad as more shittier shmups but really I feel like the game is being held back but even then sometimes these games difficulty relies on slowdowns for it to be justified like most of the gradius games, but i noticed that these kind of games that are similar to darius, r-type, gradius and so on are just fucking loaded with gimmicks that ruin the fucking game compared to a straight forward shmup like 194X type of games, raiden or whatever

Like to hate

>Hotline Miami 2

This one actually happened mid-game for me. It was fun, somewhat bog-standard HM with a few new neat things (most of it which was functionally useless in the long run, sadly). Then you reach the halfway point and levels turn into gigantic shooter-fests where guns become literally the only option to survive, much less try and actually play the game.

Every single gun-centric character not only had the most levels of all characters, they also had all the worst levels in the game.

I beat it solely to finish the story, even then, the map editor only held me for about… a few weeks and then I just got sick of it.

>Binding of isaac (rebirth)

I love zelda, I love roguelikes, what was not to love?

RNG.

bad RNG can fuck your game over to the point where it's unplayable. The item pool is so bloated with trash items that if the player can't get a good build by the time they reach the womb, it'll be a nightmare. Especially if you get cornered by bosses with zero-reaction-time attacks, or attacks so wide you literally can't dodge it.

The devs wonder why people get into a "restart the game so often and hope you get an OP item" mentality.

>Getting over it with Bennett Foddy

This wasn't even for a game I played- which honestly, it's not worth playing. Go play Sexy Hiking instead. I just watched compilations of streamers raging on it, and got massive a schadenfreude high from all it.

Then I found out the dude who made it is (((a feminist))), has his balls deep into the journo clique, and all in all, has one of the most punchable faces I've ever seen on a human being. Never have I been so soured-in-retrospect about a game.

Oh, and bennett foddy hates people who view videos of the literal chatroom at the end of the game where you can brag how you beat the game. Of course, the game deceptively hides mouse-accelleration not only being a setting, but being enabled by default. Well, surprise, Bennett foddy is a fucktard that deliberately designed his game to emotionally manipulate people.

>>16919699

>Fallout 4

Same with me.

Glitches were apparent since the quest to restore the confidence of the galaxy news radio dude never triggered without cheats, thus ruining my survival run. I continued on anyway, it was pretty fun… until all factions were unlocked, and I got spoiled by a flaw of the game's writing.

That flaw is that the three major factions the game wanted you to play as were indecisive in their morality, and they all ended up being "Douchebags that occasionally do good things with strings attached", so my logical choice was the minutemen, since they were not written that way.

The warnings of the minutemen being boring trash were true. I can handle MMO-level grinds to an extent, but when you literally RUN OUT OF FUCKING QUESTS AND THE STORY DOESN'T PROGRESS AT ALL… I tend to lose my patience.

Bethesda has gotten exactly what it deserves, for everything it's done.

>Starbound

Goddamnit chucklefish, you are the fucking bethesda of wannabe-indie games.

Starbound is the premier example of idea-guy syndrome- where the game is staffed by literally one coder, and the rest is either artists or literal idea-guys. I fucking crowdfunded the game (never again) hoping for a terraria-like but better, and I loved it when it came out. It scratched my comfy space-exploration-game-itch.

and then chucklefuck used their millions to become a publisher and dick-around in their offices doing basically nothing, while one fucking coder struggled to do anything with starbound. Mecha update was neat, but it still has exactly the worst problem that starbound in general has: Nothing you get actually works that well, or is fun in the first place.

Chucklefuck stopped being indie the moment they started publishing games, and anytime I hear them say 'we're indie' I know it's bullshit.

>Payday 2

sunk a shitton of hours, loved it, but the devs have a bad habit of "breaking the game to fix an issue".

I hated the stealth changes, because I liked the feeling of "we own this place now, let's cash out" from old stealth mechanics, but I could tolerate changes they made.

Once they completel overhauled combat the first time, I dropped that shit like a hot rock after P2Winshit happened. I came back to communities to look at story changes, and found out the story (what little was there) went completely fucking bonkers while I was gone.

(body too long)

>>16915431

Same, the community did the best to kill all my interest to replay it. I'd feel embarassed to do that and be part of it, even though I thought it was fantastic. It also killed ANY interest in playing Deltarune, and I bet many feel the same way.

Other games I can think of:

>most DOS games I played as a kid

>Mortal Kombat 5, because the 3D gameplay sucks

>Def Jam: Fight for NY. I was never fan of hip hop but liked the gameplay. Now, I find the loading time atrocious, there is no retry button, and reality kicked in so hard, that I find the gangster attitude really embarrassing.

>Mario Kart Double Dash. To me, the worst Mario Kart, with ear-torturing music and mostly awful tracks.

>Street Fighter 4. After BlazBlue, I can never return to SF.

>any Pokémon game, the only Pokémon games I own are Blue and Stadium. I hung out with Pokétubers, and now I hate the community and games even more. Those retards watch other people trying to catch a shiny for HOURS as if they have no life.

>Metal Gear Solid 5, once I realized what I'm doing in this game I stopped and never touched it again.

And most recently, Killer Instinct. I own the SNES version of Killer Instinct and I'm a huge fan. But recently, I played the Arcade version for a whole day, and I can't return to the SNES version. The watered down visuals and animations, I can't unsee it.

>>16922420

>Tropico 4

Couldn't figure out why the fuck I was going broke despite having a legion of teamsters to export farm food. dropped it. Came back, eventually got something working, and found out that you can make fucking bank with tourism.

>STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl

Got cockblocked at noob bridge the first time, and dropped the game. Heard a track of what I thought was from the game (bulletproof & Panic-stricken), so I decided to scour through the game to find said track.

What I ended up finding was a fun game, with very very solid shooting if you pick up an actually-accurate rifle. Artifact-hunting was my favorite method of making money, and it was immersive as fuck. Ended up getting to the true end purely by accident. The twist about strelok was magnificent- had me completely fooled even when I read about information on call of pripyat.

>Lennus (Paladin's Quest)

A quirky, fun, and surprisingly horrifying little game. Artstyle is underrated as fuck even if it uses blue/yellow/green/purple as its main colorset.

As a kid who was used to playing Final fantasy & breath of fire, I couldn't get into Lennus that much because the game itself is fucking brutal in the midgame. I ended up dropping the game when I got to Saskuot, but got back on board and found out just how fun the rest of the game is.

The game is flawed as shit, those flaws are very apparent, but I love it, even if there is basically no endgame or side-content like most RPGs have.

>>16920676

Not trying to be condescending, but how would you do a good JRPG?

>>16922372

Dimensions doesn't matter for me personally.

I like Terraria more because it's genuinely well designed and is thus, a fun game.

Who would have thought?

Thats why I was excited for Hytale until they got bought out by the dog gobblers

>>16922343

Terrarias core combat isn't even the most meta form of combat in the game.

2b2t autists use stacks of end crystals to spam into their enemies faces and blow them up on the spot, swords and shields are pretty much useless when it comes to PVP on there.

>>16922423

I don't know why you would like undertale in the first place. The artstyle and annoying as fuck characters ruined the game for me. I only made it to the snowy village before I decided that it enough for me. I wouldn't even want to do a genocide run because I honestly couldn't care less about the game.

Shit, my bad.

>Payday 2

God, it surprises me at how much they’ve managed to fuck up their golden goose. I played it from 2014 until 2015 when Simon Viklund left, and can you explain in-depth at how much damage they’ve done to the game? Also I wonder what happened to their The Walking Dead game and their shitty Payday: WW2 reskin?

>>16923442

>Also I wonder what happened to their The Walking Dead game and their shitty Payday: WW2 reskin?

Far as anyone knows, RAID was quietly cancelled and the developer is apparently still alive working on a new project(according to a RAID mod on steam, so who the fuck knows for sure.). Same with Walking Dead, except it wasn't nowhere near as quiet. The game straight up bankrupted the company, and it was shit on so badly the IP holder had to force them to stop updating the game so it can just go the fuck away.

>can you explain in-depth at how much damage they’ve done to the game?

I don't think there was anything especially egregious after the Drills, except the H3H3 character pack. They basically just went on to remake all the Payday 1 levels while adding in some conspiracy shit involving the Dentist.

>>16923547

Same here, although i liked the authentically good humor and amazing soundtrack since the first time i played it. That is what made me want to keep playing the game, until i mastered it. And after that, i never felt bored by it. I have been playing it from start to finish + all Arena bosses at least once every single month for over 10 years by now. And i enjoy it every single time.

My dumbass never got the "click" and I quit playing on the 3rd level.

Sucks for me am I rite?

>>16923669

Same. Controls were perfectly natural for me. I love not being a faggot unlike anon above.

>>16924034

>>16924057

I got about halfway before I dropped it. Every year or two I go back to try it again because I see so much love for it.

>>16924063

>>16924057

The only click is abusing the right analog stick for dodging and knowing how to juggle enemies.

when you git gud you start timing your dodges to the enemy attacks

when you git really gud, you start aiming for counters

>Games you used to like but now just despise

anything with a leveling system/grinding/exp

>(and vice versa)

anything without a leveling system…

I used to be a JRPG fag, and I still can enjoy it now and then, but I've put myself in a position where I don't have much access to console/pc-gaming daily, and tried to fill the void with mobile gaming, which dulled my likeness for grinding, character building and pretty much anything without as much pick-up-and-play as a fighting game or so.

>Dark Souls 3

Also in 1 (and for the most part in 2 as well) most weapons and armors were reasonable-looking, while 3 introduced full retard tier brick-like swords and monkey-jumping animations. Vid related was supposed to be an exaggeration but it fucking isn't.

>being this much of a corporate cuck

Keep funding them.

I will keep stealing from them.

>>16924034

It was never good to begin with. Only journos/soyboys forced the meme of the shitty franchise ever being good.

>>16926665

Well I hate Souls 1 and 2.

Souls 1 should be in the "overrated games" thread as a broken mess. Often its not hard because it was made like that, but because the game itself is garbage, like fire hit detection.

>>16928106

So the tornigger says.

>>16928305

>It was so obviously a community game

WTF? No it wasn't, it was icefraud's pile of crap.

>The abilities were broken as fuck but it kept the game interesting

How is everyone playing the same flavor of the month overpowered build "interesting"?

>The game straight up was not fun.

Correct. From day 1. The only thing that changed was he got slightly better at balancing.

I tried to get back into Runescape

With all this free time I saw an opportunity to enjoy a MMO I used to play as kid

While it was enjoyable at first, doing quests and leveling up skills, seeing myself progress

Now it's turn into a hellish nightmare, instead of playing for "fun" I mostly focus on trying to get the most efficient gp/hr

Someone in a cc (clanchat) recommended that I sell everything and restart a new account as an ironman (Haven't done a whole lot, mostly the f2p quests and heroes guild quests), most of my skills aren't that high with magic being my highest in the high 60's, cc said if I was an ironman I wouldn't have to worry about making money as I can't buy/sell/flip at the g.e.

I'm very cautious about what they're suggesting but if I did I'd have enough gp for at most 3 or 4 bonds since they're so low right now and can gift them to the ironman, honestly feel very burnt out from farming gold and trying to play efficiently instead of having "fun"

Thanks for reading my blogpost so far

Dota was originally a collection of characters from different mods put into one game. You use to be able to fuck people over with obscure and non-meta builds. It's not the case anymore thanks to comeback mechanics, safety nets and buffs to HP among other things. Dota 2 was fun at first for this reason, but now it's cancer. You prob didn't play it when it was in beta or you weren't good enough to play outside of the meta.

>XCOM: Enemy Unknown/Within

When the game first came out, I was so excited that I punched out of work at the exact second I could, drove home at a regretful speed, and played the game all night. After a few hours, I just kind of accidentally beat the game. I was so desperate for a new X-Com game that I enjoyed it regardless. I got the expansion and I even played Long War. Fast forward to today, the best X-Com game to come out is just X-Com but open source, and everybody is cloning modern XCOM's shit combat system.

>Path of Exile

Talk about a game ruined by patches. Leagues were cool at launch. Then they became shallow excuses to stuff random content that never mattered or fit the game. Then they tried doing major game overhauls through leagues, which were always half-assed. They would always go to the forums or the subreddit and cry about how much work it takes to get everything ready for the next 3-month window, which is why everything always launches broken or unfinished, and never acknowledge that they're the ones holding themselves to the arbitrary 3-month window. You STILL have to use third-party tools and websites to participate in trading. And to make things worse, the game itself isn't even fun anymore. It's just clearspeed: the game reaching it's obvious extreme finale.

>Tabletop Simulator

I've played this game for almost 800 hours. I wasted so much of my life putting together board games and tabletop RPGs for friends to play, only to have them load up, be completely disinterested in what's going on, and start throwing stuff around the table to amuse themselves. The last time I played, I loaded it up to play 40k with someone who insisted I teach them how to play. The model throwing happened. I never touched this game again. It's been easier to get people who are interested in these games in person than it is online.

>Wizardry 8

I hated this game when I first played it. I put together a new party, and I quit not long after reaching the first town. I don't know why I hated it, but I couldn't stand it. A few years later, I thought I'd give it another try. I had a great time, and I played it to completion. The thing here is, I don't even remember why I didn't like it, or what changed. I just loaded it up and dumped a few hundred hours into it.

>You mean 4?

I liked 4 and all of the games before it. I've never met someone who disliked 4 in real life. I just assumed the online hatred for 4 was residue from one of the shit-flingingest console wars.

>bad RNG can fuck your game over to the point where it's unplayable.

That's why I could never stand Darkest Dungeon, where things like hunger rolls were entirely random. Even death is random, because everyone has a percent chance to not die when they take damage when at 1 hitpoint. A dice roll decides what resting options are available. A dice roll decides how much backtracking a dungeon will involve. A dice roll can decide that stress was actually good. The RNG is so thick that it doesn't even feel good when something good happens. The game isn't even hard or challenging like everybody jerks themselves off about. It's like going to a casino and playing a slot machine. The game is practically designed entirely like a gacha game, and would fit right in with the common F2P mobile game.

>they're the ones holding themselves to the arbitrary 3-month window

Seriously, why do indie devs do this retarded fucking shit? Squad did this with KSP too, and every. single. update they have ever pushed out on their idiotic "development cycle" came a broken mess of recycled bollocks that never actually added anything to the game. Period. It's probably the Tommy Wiseau effect of shooting on a greenscreen roof; it makes you feel professional even if you really are just a wankstain of a developer.

>>16928196

Still mad that you can't stop me from using Tor, glownigger?

>>16928607

just play /v/scape instead, it is Runescape with a 2.25x xp rate, no Grand Exchange, and since it's private server it's free

Less grind, and no GE or bonds to encourage grinding for money mean you would probably be able to enjoy it more.

It's the modern software design principle of "release early, release often". Rather than the older design principle of "feature based release", where you design, implement, and test a feature, then release the result. Instead you set yourself a time limit, in this case 3 months, do as much work as you can in the time, then release the result regardless of if it's a buggy, broken mess.

If the developer is good, then it will be a cycle of "some features completed, some implemented but buggy, some missing" and they get all their testing from the audience. As they continue, features go from buggy to completed, and unimplemented to buggy, and they can respond to user feedback before things get too entrenched. If the developer is bad, then you get a cycle of "some features buggy, some features missing" and they spend all their time implementing new stuff but never actually fixing the bugs.

It's pretty simple for a developer to fall into this trap because fixing bugs is time consuming and hard, but just layering more buggy, broken, untested shit onto the pile of buggy, broken, untested shit is more interesting.

but anon

I know this might sound a bit strange but I want to support Jagex, I really don't mind paying 11 dollarydoos a month for half a year

also ironman sounds kinda fun, making everything and getting the drops I want instead of just doing some money making method for hours to buy it off the g.e. sounds like a new way to enjoy the game

the only downside I see is if I die with gear that took RNGesus forever to bless me with in a area you can't get your stuff back

>For me God Hand clicked the moment I started playing it many people said that it takes sometime to adapt to the controls but I found them comfortable the first time,Is there anyone who felt the same way.

Same for me, but I played God Hand the first time just a few years ago. I've always assumed many anons played it when they were younger, but maybe some just had little prior experience with character action games (or whatever the hell we're calling them these days). You gotta start somewhere, right?

Ha guys I'm new! *holds up spork*

No Man's Sky.

The game's peak, in good old hours-wasting exploring fun, was NMS:Atlas.

Whatever they're calling it now has been turned into over-detailed, over-complex grinder. Can't be assed with it since power generators were introduced.
