You guys shit on games with good reputations all the time, I'm not impressed. Defend a game with a poor reputation, if you're so great.

YIIK is a work of real auteurs, as incompetent as they may be. The remix of the RPG conventions, the big twist(s) near the end, the style and the direction, grandiose musings on afterlife and interpersonal connections – it's all there and something that can actually be discussed without falling back to quoting e-celebs. There is actual room for improvement (and not the I.V reimaginings) of the core concepts, or tard-wrangling if you wanna be less charitable.
The issue is the 2deep4u faggots who keep insisting on "le unreliable narrator" as the most pathetic excuse for inconsistencies. To them I can only say this: it is (you) who was in fact filtered by the 31st of December infodump.

Shroud of the Avatar
Originally it got shat on because of devious scamming practices by the devs but once it died and was taken over its now a decent Ultima RPG. The MMO is empty but i still got a 200 hour single player experience out of it

Zoolander actually worth watching?

It's a great movie.

I think Siege is the best FPS of the modern day, despite Ubisoft being in charge

Tail Of The Sun is a masterpiece that pioneered a genre and is a genuine treat to play. Everything about it is comfy. The overall design is years ahead of it's time and is a mindblowing use of the hardware of the era.
Anyone shitting on it or calling it boring has brain damage.

Kazutoshi Iida is one of the greatest developers to ever live and is a living legend.

I unironically like DMC2's atmosphere and aesthetics. Just listen to its divinity statue theme and you'll understand.

>>715778362
Wait, Shroud has a singleplayer mode?
And define decent is it comparable with 6 or 7?

>>715778371
No. Everything that's good about it you've already seen through memes

you see this all the time with gacha and tlou2 threads

The Surge games are underrated. The dodge system is a great alternative to simple parrying that requires more attention to use well. Different weapon types and armor sets play substantially different compared to Souls games in return for having much fewer options per category, more room to flesh out each category. Heavy armor actually feels like a spess marine instead of just a fat guy who flops on the floor. Different enemy types require more adjustment compared to Souls as well. Heavy armor or big robot limbs actually mean something beyond strike weapons do more and slash weapons do less. The limb system is staggershit but done right multiple smaller halthbars on enemies and breaking certain parts allows instant kills or dramatically changes their behavior and available moves. Bloodborne style dashing>rollslop. Some of the designs especially in the first game are fucking cool.

Yes they are low budget and it can show sometimes but they were swept under the rug as just a meh western souls clone when this trend first started but there's a lot of cool ideas in there that I wish future souls clones picked up on.

The state of Pokemon is Game Freak and TPC's fault, Nintendo themselves at worst are enabler.

TLOU2 is not only better than TLOU1, it is genuinely one of the best games made supported by great gameplay and fantastic film making and, shocking even myself, provides an amazing example of a story that could only be told as a vidya game, unlike Pt1 which was celebrated for it emulating other mediums. For context I personally loathe Pt1 being overrated, but respect it in a vacuum for being well executed.

CoDs golden years were legitimately fantastic games and Activision's scheme of studios leaping frogging release cycles was incredible business sense.

There's literally nothing wrong the Dangaronpa V3 ending, nor Half Life Alyx's, or Hotline Miami 2. Additionally Hotline Miami 2 is incredible and essential playing.

Highurashi is good but not good enough to justfy being longer than all of the original Dune books.

I unironically believe FF2 is a better game than FF6 and I would gladly recommend the former over the latter.

FF6's characters arr pray same with shallow non-gameplay gimmicks. The fact that brain dead tendies eat that shit up as """game design""" is mind-blowing to me. Furthermore the magicite system is anti-fun ass cancer.

Conversely, FF2's skill system does at least allow you to set up a varied party. The game is genuinely very funny at times, both with its story and mechanics. The fact that a major character sacrifices himself to give you the Ultima spell, only for the spell to do zero damage due to a bug? Hilarious. Also, FF2's story covered subject matter that was ACTUALLY ambitious for its time-- so ambitious that it goes overboard into hilarity. But it's good, worthwhile entertainment nonetheless.

Valorant is a fun, competetive game, it has bad reputation because of its community, but the truth is, if you play for fun, and want your match to be fun, it is really easy to set the right atmosphere with just a few nice words and a joke or two. The game is more fun than CS, beacuse of it casual nature, the existence of various character abilities mandates more unpredicted and unique gameplay, which contrasts with cs's routine rounds, spray patterns and nade spots. I think most people who are salty about the game are the ones who also make the community so unpopular, the guys who believe they are better than they actually are and are always ready to blame and flame their teammates for any reason.

The new Lords of the Fallen is one of the best non-From soulslikes, it has its issue but it's made with heart and it actually tries to imitate Dark Souls rather than just being an action game with tacked on souls mechanics. Also the devs have been pretty great with updating the game after release. I'm not saying it's perfect, but people are way too harsh on it.

>I unironically believe FF2 is a better game than FF6 and I would gladly recommend the former over the latter.
i do too but only because i have saga brainworms instead
that being said, i would defend unlimited saga here but it might be too good to be with the likes of fucking tlou2 and the other genuine vidya dregs

Animal crossing new horizons is still a solid entry in the series. Also it is the best selling game of the decade so far and proves that you don't need to make AAA slop to be successful. Also I find the ability for it to bring people together during a shitty time a pretty impressive accomplishment that I don't see other games do that much. Also it's a pretty biblically accurate game as I feel like it's a direct interpretation of what heaven will feel like with animals at peace and calm. So in a way, it's probably the best selling Christian game you could possibly have.

Only thing I really hated about it was the updates and general incompleteness. But otherwise, I think the game is downplayed like crazy sometimes. Especially by the standards of this decade so far.

It is my honest opinion.

Deltarune will be the best mainstream release of the last 25 years when/if fully released. For now it's just the best game in the last 10 years.

The Insomiac Spider-Man games are fun when you're actually doing Spider-Man stuff. When you have to play as Mary Jane or whoever it fucking sucks though.

>>715778371
is stupid fun
like kungfu hustle

Zoolander is fantastic. Have no idea what the sequel is about and considering nobody talks about it, I'm pretending it doesn't exist. Just like Joe Dirt 2.

Fallout Tactics is my favorite Fallout game. It provides a competently pulled off progression of power and difficulty, has a mostly well done setting that Bethesda later shit on, and gives a much wider combat-oriented slate of options compared to every other Fallout game.

If I had to defend even one poor reputation game, I'd pick Once Human, the infamous f2p "survival crafting game" from the greedy NetEase slaves is a pretty decent experience
It's worst issue is the monetization and horrible balance, but the gameplay and gun use feels far better than most games
It has intriguing SCP-like stuff and the story, despite being extremely lazy and shallow on surface, has lots of depth that nobody even notices, and I don't blame them, because the devs really don't know how to present it and are clearly whipped by their masters in to focusing on lootboxes and faster content rather than polishing what they already have.

When it comes to most survival crafting slop, I would say Once Human is like an 8/10 compared to others of this genre, but this game is paralyzed by a lot of shitty bugs with every large update and the insane greed of the people responsible for it's monetization, that bootlicking redditors defend as "yeah but F2P! devs need to eat too!"

Anyway, I'm not here to advertise it, I would not want anyone to support the game because I actually want it to bleed players in hopes that they stop driving with square wheels and charging Path of Exile level prices for literally anything in their cash shop

Honestly, this game should've been a singleplayer or 4 player coop game, everything turns to shit when the industry forces everything in to always online liveservice garbage.

Despite how bad it is on the surface, I've still managed to have hundreds of hours of fun with it with my small group of friends.

Too bad quests and dialogue in the game is so awful that it turns players away, and people will never appreciate the interesting lore hidden in dozens of pages and "scp" style report papers

depends on what you mean by reputation, some games have relative reputation, like the last of us is reputable, but here it is circlehatejerked
