ill start: i hate tower defense games where you have to do a lot of upkeep/building after the wave has started. I did all that shit in the prep phase just let me watch the towers do their thing and chill, it isn't an action game

The "low" setting of modern games still look good enough.
It's not like on the 3Dfx era that low was shit like untextured, pixelated surfaces with a 320x240 resolution and color banding.

I will not be buying a Switch 2

mgs 3 is dogshit, I don't care about big boss

I will not be buying any new hardware unless A) mine breaks, or B) a new Mega man game requires it to play it well.

when was the last megaman game

Link to the Past's Zelda is prettier than the other Zeldas

I feel like this one is largely dependent on the res you are playing at. 1920x1080 probably still looks like shit, although i'd have to test on some games

2018

the zoomed in scope thing they did with the SG and AUG on CS years ago was stupid, the zoomed in crosshair was perfect

If I shoot a basic enemy and he takes it without even flinching or being disoriented for a second
Game should be checked into the trash
And dev team in the salt mines

Like it's most basic things thing that majorly affects moment to moment gameplay
How the hell you didn't figure that out in your 2-4 year dev cycle
Fuck you

Also having 3-4 distinct weapons with some customisation is better than
17 assult rifles with slightly different stats

There's "looking like shit by modern standards", and then there's pic related.

This is what ruined RE4R for me, the gameplay has no strats to it, it's just going for headshots with the sniper 90% of the time

I remember fondly playing diablo 2 as a wee idiot child. I came back to it and realized the games were pretty shit and probably responsible for most of the cancer in MMO's today because WoW carried a lot of those design choices that got passed around to other copycat games.
>lategame difficulty options make some builds completely useless
>enemies become incredibly tanky
>your resistances are arbitrarily lowered
>both of which force you into the boss farming gear treadmill (or cheating if applicable)
>the only really new content for upping difficulty is getting jumpscared by gloams (forced to wear lightning resist gear or get nuked)
Other diablo clones are abysmal for the same reason WoW clones are abysmal, because they almost all try to copy the same formula. The only one that really broke the mold for me was Nox and that's just because it was designed around pvp and the pvm campaign is more of an adventure game.

There should be risk and reward for shooting legs off
Dead Island 2 and ready or not did it

I fucking love FFX. That's it

>>713112123
that looks good tho

How the hell does max payne 2 plays better than control and almost any other tps made after max payne

>game has soul/medium/high settings

Having less graphics, less story and less spectacle is always a good thing. Wasting money on non-gameplay makes you an idiot.

Every opinion I have deserves a thread

Open worlds.
When do we say enough is enough?
If I wanted an open world I would go outside.

The Horizon games are good. They're comfy and it's just fun to wander around getting in fights with robots.
Diescraper Redux and Daybreak are 2 of the most overrated Left 4 Dead 2 custom maps ever made
Wind Waker HD is better than the original
Ciri is a better character than Geralt although I don't think Witcher 4 looks good.

competitive pokemon is the only jrpg with actual strategy and decision making

>>713114562
They're not that bad, but there's very few actual open worlds.
Everything is just linear games stretched into a map with a marker to guide you to the next part of the corridor.

I really like manic mansion and I wish Lucas arts gaming was still a thing

Assault rifles ruined games. Single shot weapons like double barrel shotguns and revolvers are more fun to use and to go against
