Even thought I disagree with most of your opinions, it's nice to know that somebody else out there understands that there was a HL before HL2, and that HL1 was pretty good aside from a few really dated segments and the final stretch of the game being garbage.
Don't get me wrong, I totally love Dark Souls, just not as much as Demon's Souls. And yeah, it does bother me how so many people grossly overstate the difficulty of the series. They mostly provide a moderate amount of challenge, with some difficulty spikes here and there. Nothing is ever difficult to the point of being anywhere near impossible, though.
My friend and I revisited both KH1 and KHII about a year ago. Honestly speaking, even though at one point in time both games would have landed a spot among my favorite games, about ten plus years later both games are really not holding up so well. Both of them focus way to much on very exhausting and honestly uninteresting combat (KH1 is much worse about this than II given how many more options were added in II) while KHII stripped away a lot of verity from the first game.
I don't think you'd be hard-pressed to find people who share these opinions. Especially since FFXIII exists.
In Nomura's defense, he wasn't the scenario writer. So who knows how much he came up with by himself.
Some people say 6, others say 9, and then there's 10. 12 is definitely the first one where square management started falling apart though. Despite the problems they had internally, I still think of it as a good game.
I guess I mean for single playered ones since they're a different beast, yeah.
I'll agree with you if you're talking about the first game, but IMO CB2 and 3 are pretty solid. IMO it's just a case like Banjo-Kazooie where it's very enthusiastic fans who grew up on the games tend to really, really overstate their quality.
As someone who has played Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic and the Pokemon TCG competitively, this hurts my soul. At a competitive level, TCGs are really only about 5% luck, 40% calculating probability and 55% skill. Then again, I've never played Hearthstone so I don't know how many deck thinners/fetch cards/draw power exist in that game. In a good, well-designed TCG luck is hardly a factor at a competitive level.
True facts, I don't think I've ever found myself that engaged by the narrative in any given FE game.
Good opinion.
I don't think it is. Pretty sure it's still unpopular to not like one or both.
What's your cutoff? I've always understood old NFS as everything Most Wanted and before and new everything after.
My cutoff for classic NFS has always been HP2 and back. I skipped Most Wanted so I'm not sure if that's a good game or not, but the Undergrounds were the last terrific games in the series in my opinion.
I think that Skyward Sword is becoming more liked with age. The community was split on it when it came out because of the motion controls, but like Wind Waker, the people being vocal about how "bad' the game is have quieted down a bit. Personally, I still think they should have had a non-motion control option so that there wouldn't have ever been a split community opinion in the first place.
No, certain very vocal LoZ fans are like that. New LoZ game comes out, they nitpick it to death and look for things to complain about, then another new LoZ game comes out and they move onto hating on that while people who like the games finally get a chance to speak up.
Yeah, I agree. For fear of sounding like a broken record, the worst offender is Dark Souls 2, which has a story so convoluted and bloated that even if you do go through every item description you still have a 15% understanding of what actually happens.
Whereas Demon's Souls had an intricate and well though-out world but the actual events of the story were not only simply, but also explicitly explained to the player. Part of the reason why I like that game the most. I still don't quite understand the ending of Dark Souls or Dark Souls 2.This. I have nothing to add, this is perfect.
This so much.
I'm gonna add to this. I hate the art style for the game. It looks really bad to me and childish.
I have to disagree here. My first time playing System Shock 2 was in 2010 and I absolutely adored it. It grew more and more flawed towards the end of the game but the majority of it is excellent, I'd say.
I love The Last of Us but I agree that ending was really bad. I didn't even touch the multiplayer because you couldn't play as the actual characters from the game, just generic survivors.
The fist time I played the game was in 2013, when it finally got released on Steam. Let me tell you, my experience with the game was much less positive than yours. For me, SS2 was a very confused game that didn't know what it wanted to be. The atmosphere,pacing and level suggested a slow, survival horror game akin to Resident Evil but in first person. However, game play still had that Quake-esque lightning speed with a "kill everything in sight" mentality that was the norm for FPS back then. While still giving you limited supplies and ammo like a survival horror game. As you can imagine, this clashed hard for me.
It's not so much the artstyle looking "childish" (poor reasoning to be honest) as it is the execution of certain points in the game and the fact I don't like the look of the Inklings.
I hear you. I bought the HD Collection years ago and only added seven more playthroughs to my MGS3 list. The bomb spraying made me lose inte-DID YOU SAY NERD
