No one plays JRPG's for the gameplay. JRPG gameplay fucking sucks dicks. People enjoy JRPGs for the story, characters, worldbuilding, exploration, adventure, music etc. The combat gameplay is something people just "put up with" to get to the good shit. Whenever you see people discussing JRPG's, they never say "DOOOD THIS GAMEPLAY", they're always fondly remembering the characters and the experience of the adventure.

>>713377039
I unironically like the gameplay in some JRPGs though. It's reasonable to say YOU don't like JRPG gameplay but saying "nobody" likes JRPG gameplay is just obviously factionally wrong

>>713377039
>No one plays JRPG's for the gameplay.
I do. It's monotonous but it's also pretty fun, and older NES-era JRPGs are really enjoyable because it feels like throwing yourself against a brick wall

Sonic Heroes was good.

Starfield is a good game and didn't deserves even half the avalanche of shit it got. Even if you can tell a lot of people just jumped on the train to shit on it because it was the thing to do.

Most JRPGs just don't care about being balanced unfortunately.

It was though. Holds up like shit, but it was fun at the time. Shadow the Hedgehog, however..

>>713377039
JRPG stories, characters, worldbuilding, exploration, and adventure almost always suck. The Gameplay 100% of the time also being ass is just insult to injury.
JRPGs are the OG moviegame, which is ironic because literal "moviegames" have more gameplay than any JRPG, and usually better writing, even if it is usually just melodramatic shit.
Turn-Based JRPGs are just Strategy games, sans any actual sense of strategy. They are not even RPGs. Just visual novels with QTEs.

No. I've been explaining for over a year and it's always met with argumentation, name calling, being told I have shit taste and ultimately falls on deaf ears. I'm tired of "defending" Starfield when it's been obvious nobody actually cares. I like Starfield and I still play Starfield. That's enough.

>>713377661
The amount of praise Frontiers got was baffling. The only decent part of the game was the same assets they've been reusing since Generations.

"Gameplay is king" is completely wrong for most games.
If you had a game with 10/10 gameplay but the character design of Concord, the writing of Borderlands 3, the soundtrack like the Store Theme made by that one anon, the artstyle and graphics of Unrealslop - you would despise it and never play it.

Bethesda customers are mentally ill.

FF6 is bad. It's popular in the same way Earthbound is popular. People have been told for decades that it's one of the greatest RPGs of all time and they parrot that, but have never actually played the game.

>>713377885
I'm a NEET, my time has no value, and is therefore not an indicator of value or enjoyment.

No matter how shit the company is, no matter how bad of a direction they take their game in it is always preferable to giving it to the "community" to handle because "communities" and their groupthink are all dogshit.

"Gameplay is king" simply means that I hate Western movie slop

Nearly every post-processing effect can, if used correctly, improve the graphics of a game.
>chromatic aberration
If used sparingly, in certain situations, it looks good. Like how in Crysis it only activates when your suit feels power fluctuations or alien signatures nearby. It's a good active effect. Of course if a game just passively aberrates everything nonstop then yeah turn that shit off.
>film grain
Certain games have an artstyle or textures that can result in a plasticky look that lacks grit. Film grain can offset this in the correct amounts.
>motion blur
Per object motion blur is great. It's exactly how we percieve fast moving objects near us IRL. However heavy constant camera motion blur is an acquired taste and I'd rarely ever use it.
>vignette
Sometimes the visual presentation is just more pleasing and easy on the eyes if the the barrier between screen and monitor bezel is gradual instead of sudden. Vignette used as an effect can also be cool, like adding a red haze around the edges of the screen when you're under the effect of a red powerup.
>depth of field
Context-dependent. Constant depth of field during normal gameplay is a bad idea, but depth of field when you're locked in dialogue with an NPC during an important conversation is completely fine.

People love to just turn all of this off because they feel like it's getting in the way of the game simulation. But there are games when having post-processing effects on is the intended look, and you get something flat-looking without them.

>>713377659
Why? I'll admit the controls are a bit baffling and the level design leaves something to be desired, but for what it was I had fun with it and didn't regret my time.

>>713377020 (OP)
Dragon's Dogma 2 was actually pretty good. It's obviously not as good as DDDA, but it's still pretty good.
Wilds was also okay, though the hate train for Wilds is more understandable than DD2.

Monark was good, and frankly better and more interesting than its SMT inspirations. It’s only major sin is a noticeable low budget seen in its reuse of assets. But it escapes relatively unscathed compared to the much jankier looking Caligula Effect or Reynatis from the same publisher.
Just don’t tell the soituber video essayists. They’ll jump on it like flies. It’s the kinda game you gotta smuggle under the table so they don’t see.

>>713377965
I beg to differ, as a neet you have full agency of the time you're investing into things, you wouldn't have even bothered putting that much time into a game if you didn't enjoy things in it
Maybe afterwards after you'd nutted and looked over at it in bed you felt some regret but at the time you enjoyed yourself

Most low graphics indie games actually look bad and there's only a few that either know the style well enough to pull it off, or are creative enough to break out of that style and make something cool with it.
(It's the same thing with hybrid art style movies too btw)

>>713377334
For the most part yeah, it's at least one of the better sonic games. It's a nice mix of what would be later 3D sonic games and the adventure games

>>713377039
I actually try to pick JRPGs with good gameplay. It's why I prefer Persona 4 over 3, can't get into a dragon quest game, and why FF1 is one of my favorite FF games

>you wouldn't have even bothered putting that much time into a game if you didn't enjoy things in it
Like I said, it wasn't unfun it just wasn't notable.

I gave it FAR more leeway that I traditionally do because I'd heard people suck off Skyrim for over a decade before I ever touched it. And I didn't go in with an "impress me" attitude either, I went in with an open mind and tried to get into it but it's just so bland. I couldn't tell you one thing about it that made me sit up in my seat and say "wowwwwwwwww".

Bioshock 1 has a cool setting and the first few levels are good, but it's rather mediocre aside from this and feels pretty shit to play. Bioshock 2 is noticeably better.

Both the new Star Wars games are legitimately solid games (or rather they become solid after the wave of launch patches) but there's all kinds of baggage and resentment involved that prevents /v/ from admitting it. Reminds me of AC: Unity getting branded as shit for a buggy launch despite it being the last good AC.

Crysis 2 was good, all the doom and gloom about it killing or casualizing the series was nonsense. In fact I'd even say it was better than 1, and the reason people shat on it was because it's set set in the city instead of a jungle and everybody irrationally screamed that it turned into COD.

>>713378506
Yeah, expect that's not an opinion faggot, it hasn't stopped shit, you're just retarded.

Furukawa and the younger devs starting to take on more responsibility are the worst things to happen to Nintendo, they have no clear direction for the Switch 2 under him, and are haphazardly pulling at rehashing concepts from the Switch 1 and/or ideas from others' games with no rhyme or reason.

I guess it must be a time-related thing, like a lot of media you need to look at the context as so many other things get influenced by it later that people get used to. If you were around back then it impressed you
And Skyrim would only really impress new audiences today if they were using it with mods, specifically sex mods

indie games sucks, and I hate the people who makes them. Videogames were fun while also not being ADHD simulators, pushing the limits of technology and fun concepts as much as they could. Now we have indie devs resorting to one(1) mechanic and making an entire repetitive game around that idea, while looking like ass with PSX filters or extremely saturated colors, with abnormal high requirements or shitty optimizations, and constantly bombarding you with high-speed gameplay and flashy colors so you don't get bored.
Resorting to play indie games because AAA games sucks, its like smokers resorting to crack because cigars don't hit as good anymore.
>Yo, duuude. Play this game, it does this obscure gameplay mechanic really well. Duuuuude, the pixel-art graphics looks amazing. The gameplay, man, it just hits right on the spot, you know what I'm saying?
How is this any different to what an addict would say?
It would be better to accept that gaming is dead than becoming an indie videogame consumer. Indies are not coming to save the industry. They are coming to rape its corpse.

The gameplay is total trash, and the controls are unresponsive slop. A complete downgrade from the original one. Resident Evil 4 is one of the few games that is nearly perfect and never needed a remake

>>713378391
Square Enix had a lot of IPs they've used to carry on more traditional RPG gameplay even now. The problem is that they're giant stingy assholes who do absolutely nothing to advertise them since they're not AAA tentpole releases.

>>713377945
Yes, if you make the rest of the game in a way where it actively detracts from the rest of it, even the best gameplay can't save it
It shouldn't really be hard to avoid this if you aren't out to slobber Larry Fink's knob

>>713377596
its not a bad game. really good at times, but really boring at many others.
I know I am just repeating what others say but it really do be like that.

The vast majority of indie games are trash.

Just go take a good look at the endless ocean of indies on Steam, it's garbage. Try and tell me with a straight face that indie games are good on average. For every Hollow Knight or Outer Wilds, there are a ten thousand more terrible indies.

AAA games are and always will be better on average. People shittalk AAA games more because when one fails it's a public spectacle talked about by gaming outlets, it's a bigger waste of developer funds, and it's fun to prop up underdogs as an alternative. But even though only 1 in 50 AAA games is good, only 1 in 1000 indies is good and those 999 shit indies are all worse than the 49 bad AAAs.

You just don't notice when an indie game sucks or flops because when that happens maybe two people on the planet hear about it. Indies only start existing to you once they're the 1 in 1000 that are actually good enough to get popular.

RPG games are about writing. Therefor, if the writing is shit then the entire game is shit

Lukewarm take:
GameCube wasn't that good. Other than F-Zero (which wasn't even really 1st party), I didn't care for most of Nintendo's first party offerings. Since the 3rd party stuff that came to the Gamecube was also on PlayStation and Xbox too it wasn't the best console to play those except rare occasions like Soul Calibur II, RE4 and Viewtiful Joe. I will say Gamecube was my preference for playing SSX 3 though.

Lukewarm take:
GBA SP and Nintendo DS Lite (or the DSi) are the only handhelds you need.

Potentially hot take:
Best Nintendo home consoles are NES, N64, Wii, and Wii U (even though Wii U is wasted potential incarnate). I didn't dislike SNES, it's just that, other than Super Metroid I don't really think of any games I care about from that console. Also I only use the Switch to play old games on it anyway and I don't have, nor desire, a Switch 2.

>>713379492

There is nothing wrong with remakes.
Though they should completely stop remaking games that are perfectly playable

Fallout 1 was lightning in a bottle. People (justifiably) shit on Bethesda for making each Fallout game worse than last, but Obsidian and even Black Isle failed to make a better game.

There are a whole range of temperatures earth could (and has) settled at on average.

I like realistic multiplayer games like Red Orchestra 2 but nowadays there's too many games competing for "you play as shitty rifleman on a team of 50 guys" so every game has maybe 20 people playing it at once which leads to people not playing at all in a vicious cycle.

Moreover, I distinctly remember playing Hell Let Loose a few years ago and some retarded faggot on our team had twitch.tv in his name and got all our spawns blown up by enemy artillery because his retarded ass could not comprehend the idea that one of his two viewers was the enemy artilleryman who would have a full view of our map every time he died.

Indie games (as facilitated/made possible by the Steam marketplace) and their consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

>brain drain the best/most creative/most visionairy devs into small budget microprojects

Indie Gaming is Zion - the pressure release valve where taste-havers//high IQs "break free" to so they can live in caves off of sludge (their way), so that the AAA Matrix can be free of pesky things like quality or fun or innovation.

To be fair, that's actually ludo (as in, ludonarrative sonance). Losing combat because you lose the information battle through underhanded means is pretty fun. I remember the days of Bloc and Wawgame when shitposters would scheme in IRC's in a grand fight of you-dont-know-that-I-know.

Rouge-*anythings* fucking suck and procedural generation is just a crutch to not have to actually design a good game. The people who play them just like watching numbers go up. Having 300 menus and needing to remember what every key on your keyboard does to play the game is not good design. The art direction is shit too.

The success of re 4 and the re movies ruined re as a franchise

It's so weird to me how mouse controls and gameplay are the gimmicks of the new consoles. Seem like the most confusing thing to add to a console like the switch 2

Honestly I feel like if they played their cards right, something like VR would have been a way better gimmick.

>>713379882
While I dont think it's solely for that stuff, part of me think that they make some remakes to "fix" "problematic" designs and lore so they don't get in trouble or to prop up the brand.

Japanese games are, for the most part, unoriginal and repetitive retellings of the same handful of stories in the same handful of mediums. Fantasy game with a turn-based party of losers saving the world from God? School children in a spooky place? School children killing each other? All turn based, of course. Usually moe shit or pixel shit. Remember how JRPGS weren't liked in the west during the 90s because they were slow and boring? That never changed. It's just now they put hot women in them. The only Japanese games people give a shit about are Nintendo or Fromsoft because they're actual games and not just tactics slop.

Mario Kart World is the best entry in a long time and I will die on that hill when I say base MK World is way better than base MK8. MK8 before DLC was more of the same stuff we were used to with MK7, just with antigrav.

With World Nintendo wasnt afraid to be experimental which reminds me of the Gamecube era. Before Nintendo changed to being "safe" and "sterile". Just imagine what World will be like after some DLC.

I dont think the linearity is nearly as important an issue as people make it out to be. It really only applies if you are solely playing singleplayer. However if you are playing multiplayer locally or online you can pick to play each race without the transition areas. People are just afraid of progress is all.

I agree on the perpetual "grift", even if it's ultimately just the obvious outcome to a big enough success.
>indie dev makes a game alone or with a small team or some minor outsourcing
>getting a big break once likely means they never have to work again, or can move to patreon while they make their next game over the course of 10 years and never deliver anything substantial
>this essentially removes them from the industry, or keeps their content dripfeeding so slowly that most people forget about them
I don't think that's an unpopular opinion either, from a consumers point of view it's objectively better for an indie dev to just be successful enough to have financial security and motivation for their next game rather than be successful enough to never need to make another game again.

LOL, says the retard who struggled to pass highschool.

The reason Nvidia and AMD get to jew people with terrible gen-to-gen upgrades and shit pricing is because DLSS and FSR are treated free performance by gaymers. It shouldn't be like this, but that's how people treat upscalers, as a lifeline that extends GPU life. Go through the archive and you'll see over the years that there's plenty of people with older or weaker GPUs using upscalers as a crutch, or people significantly punching above their resolution weight by upscaling to an even higher resolution.

With DLSS and FSR your GPUs have essentially gained few more years of life, Nvidia and AMD essentially gave you free lunch so you don't have to buy their GPUs for another few years. They are now fully within their rights to jew you for a few years, the situation is just balancing itself out.

Dark Souls 3 is about as good as video game graphics need to look.
I think companies lost the plot chasing ray tracing and frame gen AI. If they just continued making games look like DS3 there'd be no problem, and they could instead try improving on some actual gameplay.

oh you know me so well anon

most people think like this, its just that the majority of people who engage in ntr discussions are the cucks who enjoy it, so the topic seems a lot more one sided. its a vocal minority situation

DJ Hero was better than Guitar Hero. It just came out at an unfortunate time where the market was horribly saturated.

And even those games are bad.

Unfinished, boring and would cause lgbT to go ballistic if it was released today

Not a game, it just stimulates people with a certain mindset

Fat steaming dump, it just stimulates people too dumb for dwarf fortress

Jarpigs, by nature, already fail to be real games there's no competitive value in making my run better than yours. Also, the fact that levels and stats can compensate for your mistakes
So yeah you are correct

Reach is the Halo swan song and the best, most, detailed, most content-rich installment in the series.

It also has the only genuinely good version of Firefight in the series.

I'm 34. I was there from day one.

Second Life is the most successful game ever made. If you compare the amount of work their developers do per year (none) with the amount of content is created for the game (by their users) and the amount of money the company generates, very few video games if any can match up to Second Life’s money printing level of success.

DS2 > DS1 > DS3

3D Mario could have ended after Galaxy 2. 2D Mario could have never come back after Mario Maker and Mario Maker 2.

Wouldn't it be Roblox? They found a way to make a digital sweatshop

>>713377020 (OP)
There hasn't been a single good videogame in our entire current millenium.

>>713387186
I think this is the same formula the FF14 devs are trying to emulate. They make sure to toss some new crafting cosmetics into each patch, which is otherwise very bare bones, to appease the modding rp community. This ensures they always have a stable baseline of subs to keep the money printed rolling.

Japanese games aren't actually that good

>>713387442
BASED TRUKE

>>713387442
Modern ones yeah

>>713387442
They're not instantly good because they're japanese but at least the japanese try unlike westerners who just copy paste DnD trash with woke shit in it

Fallout 2 is objectively the best Fallout game because it's defined the lore and every game since has agreed silly retardation is both the setting and how quests should work

Fallout is the worst of the Bethesda RPGs.
>But Starfield!
Fallout is the worst of the Betheada RPGs.

>>713387585
Hmm, woke D&D... or pedoshit... I don't think you have a leg to stand on

>>713387716
NTA but Wuthering Waves is as good as any modern non-gacha game and you're missing out by not trying it out.

>>713387778
are you talking about fallout 3 or 4?

Fantasy games are boring and people should make games set in other time periods for a change because sword and sorcery is an overdone setting. Knights, armor, swords, bows, magic, dragons, goblins, I'm fucking sick of it.

On a similar note, stop making games about the two world wars. Surely you can make war games in other time periods and have it be engaging. This doesn't mean you need to make more cawadooty games, just pick any other time period.

Be creative with your settings for a change, like fuck man, even post-sword warfare has hundreds of years of development to go through.

Kill yourself.

>>713377039
Why cant JRPGs have all that AND good gameplay then? Why the compromise? It cant be a tradeoff, that you cant have both good story, characters, world building AND good gameplay?

>>713387836
Fallout in general. Fallout 1 and 2 aren't Bethesda like 3 and 4 are, but I also find Fallout 1 and 2 overrated and not that great either.

>>713387883
Learn how to read stupid fuck.

>>713377437
You're wrong and you have shit taste, faggot.

>>713387259
I thought about Roblox but I don’t know how much the developers spend on their overhead. The general consensus in the Second Life community is that LL doesn’t do shit and just prints free money anyway.

>>713377839
Starfield above anything is a bad joke

Sonic was never good

I don't have a single controversial or strange opinion.

That's MY hot take.
