The only actually bad game on here is God Hand, and people pretend to like it because watching gameplay of it on YouTube makes the game look amazing. Then you actually play it and if feels like compete ass.

God Hand has the best gameplay in the image though. The only criticism for it over the years was the combat system wasn't built for crowd control and that's already been deboonked a billion times. Unlike in DMC where your hundred moves mean nothing, enemies actually fight back in God Hand. And your long customizable moveset is actually satisfying to use because of the tougher fights and the moves' varying properties. God Hand on its hardest difficulty is easily top 5 vidya in terms of gameplay and fun.

The premise of a guilty pleasure got eroded because it made people feel bad
Everyone I know called Marvel movies dumb popcorn flicks for years. I stopped paying attention after the first Avengers and a few years later suddenly people were genuinely discussing these movies and claiming they were the best films coming out. They coped about them initially, claiming they were just fun and somewhere along the way they forcefully tried to legitimize their taste more. It wasn't just with MCU though. In general in the last 15 years or so the term "guilty pleasure" started getting scoffed at. I remember the first time I truly noticed it was in a Fantano review for a My Chemical Romance album where he basically said the premise of a guilty pleasure is insecure and stupid. I just can't agree with that, it's an extremely useful trait to understand when you like something but know it's not really good.... Everyone else seems to agree with him though.

It's legitimately frustrating and hurtful to have genuine and earnest taste, share it with friends, just to be called a hipster because they're too insecure about the basic dogshit they consume.
I'm not even judgemental about the stuff they like, I'm very encouraging and try to understand why they like the stuff they like but I never get the same effort back.

I wouldn't really say that
People use it as a way to signal "I know this doesn't meet the standards of what I usually talk about and I know it's not very good but I enjoy it because we all have certain areas of our taste that are below our usual standards due to some media making decisions that cater to specific things that happen to appeal to me even if I understand it's execution isn't great"
Other people use it as a get out of jail free card when others start to mock them for what they like
Whatever the case may be, it's a million times better to identify it as such, even if you revel in it, than to just pretend everything you like is high art (and to scoff at the idea of high art).

All of those games to a lesser extent godhand have extremely strong conventional presentation in at least some way. sh2 might play like a stiff antiquated walking sim but if you just want horror vibes it's pepperoni pizza, vanilla ice cream. they're not really that hard to enjoy.

Popular things can be good but are often extremely boring if you've explored the medium even a little bit
That's the annoying part about people who are defensive about it because they're just losers who won't go out of their comfort zone
I don't hate top 40 radio because it's popular and there are some popular artists I appreciate but I dislike most of it simply because I've listened to a lot more and once you've done that, top 40 stuff becomes extremely repetitive, boring, and insincere. The funny thing is, people who like popular stuff will paint me as someone who just hates everything but I promise you the amount of music I like is significantly more plentiful than any of them. They refuse to try things if it's even slightly abnormal and basically stick to just a handful of shit but somehow claim me, the person who's listened to thousands of albums, is the one who despises everything. If I recommend things to these types of people they will essentially just act like the stuff I like doesn't count as music kek. That's how they live with their cognitive dissonance, claiming "snobs" hate everything, because everything to them is just the narrow scope of the basic shit they'll shovel into their mouths for the rest of their lives.

I have 0 interest in playing beat em ups and never liked them, god hand is the only one I actually beat.
It's actually one of the few games I managed to beat in the past 5 years without getting bored and dropping it.
It's a good game and the combat is fun. Contrarian faggots only say it's bad now since it became popular outside of 4cuck.

I am pretty sure majority of people just likes the story and narrative more than it being a game.

A game. But feels more like a "I watched Youtube video and it was so cool" or "/v/ has it in 3x3 so it gotta be good" game. It's a good game but majority here has never even touched it. Not even many who hasn't played it.
>Deus Ex
"""boomer""" game. It is liked by many. If the person who likes it is under 25, there is a big chance it is a "poser" pick.

Required 3x3 pick. Majority has never touched it but if someone talks about RPGs, you gotta say that Planescape Torment did it better.

It does fit. A poster assumed that OP liked popular dogshit because they think people with the taste you're talking about are posers. I don't know if this is an accurate assessment of OP (they could just as easily be someone into super obscure shit), but that's why people started discussing popular media.

Basically some people who only like more popular media think that those who like more, are just pretentious losers huffing their own shit and don't actually like those things. It's the entire idea behind calling people hipsters. Because they don't like it, they cannot fathom someone else actually appreciating it (I personally think this is out of insecurity because they know they're being closed minded). I think an anon assumed that's where OP stood.

Chrono Trigger kinda misses everything I like about JRPGs. It has a little bit of it in there but when people proudly proclaim it has no filler, I realize Chrono trigger for a lot of people was the first JRPG they could actually enjoy. I don't know if it's posercore, because ultimately I do think it's a pretty good game, but it's definitely touristcore.

I might be a zoomer but I grew up with PS1 and Atari Jaguar. I see people praise most of those games more than play them. It is the typical Earthbound/Persona 5 fan stuff.

You just have a wildly incorrect read on many of those games
Planescape Torment isn't known for doing anything better than other RPGs than story. It's just godtier writing, that's it. People even recommend playing it in the lowest difficulty because of how weak the combat is compared to other CRPGs of it's time.
Ikaruga is played by literally anyone who gets into shmups past touhou. This includes zoomers. It's not obscure, or weird, it's literally like one of the most famous shmups of all time. Shmups in general is a niche genre though.
Also although people don't play Silent Hill 2 for the gameplay really, they do play it for the atmosphere and OST, not just story.

If you weren't alive before 2000 then don't bother replying like your opinion matter. At least I was alive before any of those games was released.

That doesn't matter when people who are pretentious always brings it up if any RPG comes out. That is what it means to be "poser-core". People who just likes it because it's considered good.
Ikagura I admit I was wrong about. Just see it brought up like Planescape.
But also SH2, isn't it kinda a problem for a game if everyone enjoys it more when they aren't playing it?

It is quite good but I also think it plays in a way where its fair if some feel its overrated. I see it kinda like the way people treat Mario. They see it as like the quintessential game of its genre when its in fact doing some REALLY unique things. There are people who love platformers who find mario games overrated, because its not just the obvious pick for best platformers ever, its extremely unique in its approach to movement despite what some will say. There are many people who claim to like platformers but literally only like Mario as well (because they see it as THE platformer and every other game should be more like mario). Ikaruga feels the same, where its doing some pretty strange things for a shmup, and obviously for some people that makes it incredible, but the community acts like if you like shmups then you better think Ikaruga is one of the best of all time even though there are many other amazing shmups that play nothing like Ikaruga. You can enjoy the genre without giving a single shit about Ikaruga. This sorta thing makes it feel like a lot of posers like it because it kinda feels like a lot of people who talk about Ikaruga either haven't played it or have only played it.

What a fucking retarded comparison. Mario was one of the first ever platformers. It practically wrote the book on platforming and continued to innovate and be relevant even today.

Ikaruga was a one-off wet fart well after shmups had their relevance that people only know about because journos who had never played a shmup in their lives were paid to shill this garbage to give normalfaggots the illusion of being le hardcore ebic gaymer playing le underground genre because they credit fed until the end and call it a masterpiece (aka textbook poser faggot)

Super Mario Bros is, however, if you were to actually make people explain themselves they're typically talking about Super Mario Bros 3 and World when they say more platformers should be like mario, and even if they were talking about original Super Mario Bros, what they appreciate about it is not its premise, which did define the genre, but explicitly its how Mario controls and how levels are designed. There are many great platformers which do not control like mario and are not designed like mario so Mario being first is irrelevant to this particular conversation. I understand it does get extra credit for being one of the first but its just not related to what I described.

I'm sorry that inferring the meaning of a basic English sentence is too difficult for you.

he didn't say why do they like them, he said pretend to like, a poser is someone that pretends to like something they don't for clout
how does this entire thread not get this, these games are absolutely posercore

Sonic 3 and Final Fight are so dogshit.
Rondo is so fucking overrated.
Wild Guns controls like utter dogshit.

Only good games there are LttP and SoR2

makes no difference

what's more, if you accuse people of merely pretending to like something, it means that you believe that thing can't possibly be likeable (hence, it's bad), because if it was likeable, nobody would have to pretend to like it and just like it

I'm so sorry that you guys are functionally illiterate, but it's no surprise since
>21% of adults in the US are illiterate in 2024. 54% of adults have a literacy below a 6th-grade level

Pretend to like, as if you can't like them genuinely because they're bad.

nigga go in any silent hill thread and you'll find half the posters readily admit to never having played the game they're discussing mechanics/lore about
threads are filled with "never played but," "watched a video and," and copypasting from blatantly incorrect wiki articles written by people that also haven't played the games, and don't even get me started on normies irl that will absolutely tell you they love the games but they've never touched them

if you actually play the games you aren't a poser, idk why you're whining, those games absolutely are posercore indisputably, posers flock to these games, it's not a critique of the games themselves, brave of you to cite illiteracy statistics here

Again, it's not implying they are bad. When people refer to someone being a poser or pretending to like a game, they are implying that the person in question likely is solely interested in the aesthetic of said game or its music or anything that isn't its gameplay. Meaning that they never played said game and any and all discussion with them is futile.
This goes both ways, because people that also never played the game but don't pretend to like it will shitpost about it, trying to make up excuses why they haven't played the game (instead of just admitting they aren't interested, like it's some sort of win/lose position).

Having your aim be dependent on your movement never felt right. You really need dual movement to have both aiming and shooting in a game like that.

You get score bonus for shooting multiple targets in a row without moving or letting go of the button. The intended experience is to hold your ground and only move when necessary. Shooting down enemy bullets and throwing dynamite back goes a long way with that
