Name a game more unfairly maligned by braindead e-celebs. Hardmode: no DK64.

Dark Souls II

>>719050314 (OP)
Sonic 06

>>719050457
Idk man that game genuinely is bad. Even if you do like the gameplay the long loading and glitches ruin it

>>719050314 (OP)
Ryse: Son Of Rome was torn apart by PlayStation faggots with a bone to pick against Xbox and it was an amazing looking game that was actually pretty fun. If that shit came out for PlayStation today they'd jack their collective cocks so fast they'd catch fire.

>>719052240
this game is so good

>>719052350
The order 1886 came out around the same time and reviewed just as poorly

>>719052350
It was a glorified tech demo like Knack for Playstation

>>719050314 (OP)
Sonic R is fine albeit short racing game with a good ost that people collectively hated because jontron made a video

>>719050391
Came here to post this, fpbp /thread

>>719050314 (OP)
people that play dk64 with the switching kong on the fly mod are people that i can't take seriously
they didn't play dk64

>>719052501
Sonic R is genuinely impossible to play without bouncing off the walls. Abominable gameplay.

Are there any examples of hate for a game stemming from a single reviewer/youtube video?

WAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!

>>719053259
Bimmy genuinely never thought to press the single button the game uses to interact with things. He also played on easy mode which means the game would've ended on the elevator after the bull fight anyway. He's one of those people not cut out for 3D games.

>>719050314 (OP)
Shadow the Hedgehog.

>>719050314 (OP)
You've never played it.

>>719053660
An eceleb told me it was an underrated masterpiece

>>719053719
My dad kept trying to get through it and would ask me to help him sometimes and I have nothing positive to say about this janky piece of shit. There's actually pretty cool 3D games on the N64 like Turok and Jet Force Gemini, this ain't it.

>>719050314 (OP)
Messiah. Beat you hard on that one.

>>719053660
I just finished playing through it for the whateverith time.

>>719050314 (OP)
What are the differences between this and Legacy of Darkness? Should I play both or just one of them?

>>719050314 (OP)
I developed a corruption fetish feeding Carrie to the vampires at Midnight

>>719052240
Screenplay in video games peaked here.

>>719050391
The most tedious and boring soulslike ever created. It deserves every bit of its ill reputation.

>>719054037
any more games you got it from? i think i got a flat fetish from seeing mario squished in mario 64

>EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE AS SHITTY AS IT WAS WHEN I WAS A KID REEEEE
This mindset is why babies still get mutilated for no reason.

>>719050457
Nice try, you fuckin freak. Back! Back to hell you go!

>>719053946
You could just play Legacy of Darkness. It's basically a later build of the same game.

>>719052240
The other day I saw a video about mk special forces and the guy said "It's better than mythologies subzero" lmao

Sometimes people just think a game is bad. Shitting on Castlevania 64 was never a controversial thing to do. It's not a very good game.

>>719055672
>Sometimes people just think a game is bad.
And if that reason is "muh camera" then you can safely say that person is a tard.

Castlevania 64 is a decent game but it really isnt good it just has a lot of soul and has a lot of things unique to it. The movement is frankly bad. If they kept building on the formula they could have made something really great instead of just abandoning it after a game and a half.

The best things about it are the atmosphere, the different endings/story, the day night cycle which was not utilized but a cool gimmick.
Also I like the classic castlevania gameplay, simple yet satisfying. Very few onscreen enemies at any one time though

>>719052240
You can't defend this game and it's actual dogshit controls and camera. If this just played like a normal beat'em up it would be good.

>>719055672
>It's not a very good game
It's not bad at all, hence why retards who watched incompetent buffoons play it think it's the worst thing ever

>>719052350
I'm glad Ryse got rehabilitated, it's a fun little game with a great setting and cool set pieces.
But it came out at a time when these shorter linear games were being perceived as outdated, when open world was the hot new meme, when $/hr was becoming an important part of how games are judged, and finally it was an Xbone exclusive. Game stood no chance.

>>719055801
Not so much the camera but the overall movement and excessive empty space. There's actually some clever (or at least purposeful) level design in the game but too often it feels like an awkward tech demo with rather shit combat.
>>719055987
I've played it. It's passable at best and embarrassing at worst.

>>719056248
The game becomes a more straight forward platformer romp after the infamous nitro/mandragora castle part. The most empty area in the game is that whole section, probably to facilitate the exploding gimmick.

>>719053946
64 is better, but LoD has more content.

>>719050391
Accuracy.

>>719053879
I miss the era of PC gaming where you'd get weird shit like this about 1-2 time a year

>>719050391
Dark Souls II is basically the closest we've gotten to a modern 3D castlevania. the whip is actually a usable weapon, and the adventure culminates in you going to a big ass castle.

>>719057037
Messiah is far, far more than just some weird shit. It has balance issues and it's buggy, hence why it flopped financially by casuls I guess, but the originality, attention to detail, stylishness, clever puzzles, and technological marvel of an engine makes it my favorite Shiny game, even more so than Sacrifice. Edgy in the best way possible.

>>719057085
Ds1 is Castlevania
Ds2 is Simon's quest

>>719050314 (OP)
Dragon's Dogma 2

>>719050314 (OP)
yep, certified ChristKINO!!!!!

>>719050314 (OP)
A rough gem among adventure rpgs - sexy style, plot in Gibson's fashion, decent combat, and an interesting role-playing system, although an overnegineered one, with few skills seemingly not affecting anything. The amount of hate it gets always made me scratch my head at people's ignorancy - perhaps it's because many are exposed to it through GOG release, which has an inferior CD version of the game with voice acting instead of subtitles.

>>719053946
LoD has 2 new characters
The beginning appears to be the same thing again however it is modified and does distinguish itself.
A handful of bug fixes and a change to controls for ledges- they change it in exactly the way you will ponder when playing the first game and then find the change actually makes it worse in LoD. With LoD you will never be certain which direction to moves the stick there.

>bad game....good!
nah

>>719057970
That is a beautiful loop

>>719058030
What's the best version then?

Hitman Absolution

>>719050314 (OP)
Simon's Quest

>>719059416
The best one is Amiga port, but it's a pain in the ass to play as you have to swap diskettes as you play, unless you know how to install amiga games on a hard drive (I don't).
If you have the GOG version you can disable sounds in the game options and you'll have subtitles but, eh, no sound. Better off download a floppy version of a Dos release somewhere off the internet.

>>719050314 (OP)
Castlevania 2

>>719050314 (OP)
Simon's Quest.

AVGN has done irreversible damage to this industry.

>>719050314 (OP)
I don't watch ecelebs.
Give me a video to be angry about.

>Hardmode: not the correct answer

>>719050314 (OP)
Look, more power to you for liking CV64, but your bane "e-celebs" aren't the reason people think it's shit. The controls are camera are why people think it's shit and that's why people have thought it was shit since 1999.

>>719060543
>>719062464
also a game people have thought was shit since the '80s. Stop trying so hard to fit in.

>>719063047
>but your bane "e-celebs" aren't the reason people think it's shit
No one would ever have a negative opinion of any game ever if not for ecelebs using mind control powers to make people dislike what they actually like.

>>719050391
/thread

Guess it counts

>>719052380
No, it's really not. I've heard people bring up remaking BAD games, this game would be a pretty good contender for a bad game to get a remake.

>>719056248
>excessive empty space.
You have to admit that they were going for a different vibe compared to the 2d games; they wanted it to be more atmospheric and spooky and this was their first attempt at doing so in a 3D space for the series.

>>719054764
You havent played either game

>>719064214
You are wrong.

>>719064250
Kino
>scrubs pick the girl because she has homing projectiles and miss this

Still, one should play 64 first anyway and then LoD. Its like trying to get people to play Majoras Mask before Ocarina of Time

>>719063584
Pikmin 2 is the best one. It's good material to see who is a dumb BITCH and shoukd be disregarded.

>>719050391
>unfairly
For every 'good' thing DS2 does it does about 10 things wrong
It deserves the hate, as does DS3
Contractually obligated things they really didn't care about

SpicMcWetback ruined the entire Risen series. Of which only 2 was bad but for nuanced reasons that the deportee doesn't comprehend
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oXXA3WRNX4

>>719067927
Castlevania (N64) is better than SotN. SotN is a glorified spreadsheet, you just run through hallways over and over again and pick up items in order to increase certain numbers that you can use to decrease other numbers. It is not fun.

>>719068725
Nah, SotN is pretty fun, it's just too easy.

>>719068826
And repetitive. And dull. And ugly. And slow.

>>719050391
fpbp

>>719068867
SotFS is the inferior version, though.

>>719068859
Do you really think people can't levy these exact same criticisms against 64?

>>719068901
This has been debunked.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2NNs9VqYjI

>>719068931
It's definitely not repetitive or slow. It would be a stretch to call it dull, as it can be beaten in a few hours. I don't think it is ugly, either. Some things look really good, like the Villa.

>>719050314 (OP)
I still try to recommend Metal Gear Survive to people, but they always scoff at the mere mention and bring up fence poking.

Actually hilarious how you cna tell that none of the rich nepo babies got this from their mom for christmas so no one is praising it like the 2nd coming of jesus like all those annoying banjo fags.
I give you one more N64 game with Goemon that I regard as good as sm64 and oot.

>>719069190
Ah I get it, he's Dutch.

>>719069347
It doesn't matter what his nationality is, he would still sound retarded.

Yes.

>>719069431
Indifferent.

>>719052350
Yeah that game got shat on hard for daring to be a xbox exclusive.
Pic related Recore and Super Lucky Tale are also absurdly low rated for how good and fun they are. Super Lucky Tale's only flaw is not using a millennial IP to nostalgia over.

>>719069487
Just off of this screenshot, it looks like these games probably have the right score. If anything I'd say those are likely generous scores.

Star Wars Kinect is good, honest fun that got hate by millennials taking Star Wars way too serious.

>>719050314 (OP)
I've actually played this game including it's stand alone expansion as every character and no, it isn't unfairly maligned.

Don't forget the usage of qtes which was here for finishers iirc but that was still putting people off who played AAA all 7th gen.
And now every game is just qte without the overlay. Fucking hate souls parry shit.

>>719050314 (OP)
You know it to be true. And not even just e-celebs.

>>719062464
I am thankful that he never did Zelda 2 and told people it is because it's a good game.

>>719062728
I STILL DONT GET THE HATE
Is a slight aesthetic change to 00s emo edgy instead of 90s turtles edgy really warranting this much hate? I played through 1-4 in a row and 2 I liked the aesthetics the most and it played the same as the others for me. Only normal, yes I spam guns when a boss gimmick is not obvious andor has terrible camera(hello dmc1 scorpion)

>>719068994
Man this game was only 40 bucks too.
Westerners deserved the complete standstill of any games targeted at them from Konami for a decade.

>>719069452
pretty sure he sounded more retarded than the guy in the video

>>719050314 (OP)
The only bad thing about 64 is that it was rushed. Legacy of Darkness was the game how it was meant to be released.

>>719072052
No, the original game is much better. The new stages are just awful, like the art and ruins towers, and the re-designs are awful, like the villa and tower of execution. Cornell and Henry's campaigns are more rushed than anything in the original.

>>719050314 (OP)
atari ET.

>>719072138
Ruins Tower legit felt like someone made it in a weekend during lunch breaks. That endless wall maze section was just pure filler. Legacy of Darkness is more content, sure, but most of it feels like weird fanfic DLC grafted onto the original’s skeleton. Reinhardt and Carrie’s runs had tighter atmosphere and actual pacing. Also, Henry’s entire campaign is like a weird joke-they gave him a gun and locked him behind fetch quests.

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde on the NES is actually an underappreciated gem. The Japanese version of course.

>>719072138
Calling 64 the ‘original game’ is a bit misrepresentative of the situation though. There was only ever supposed to be one game on the N64. It was going to be a massive game with 4 unique campaigns telling one grand story. Konami, being the shits they were, pressured the team to get it out early, long before it was actually complete. You can read all the old magazine previews talking about the 64 project pre-release and it mentions the likes of Cornell and Henry and what the full game was supposed to be. Konami needed a release though so the game was rushed out the door with only Reinhardt and Carries campaigns included. Cornell’s campaign was far enough along that they were allowed to continue working on it, but Henry had his campaign gutted. People forget, but 64 and Legacy of Darkness released in the same year. 64 at the end of January and LoD at the start of December. 64 was released out of a need to get a game out asap. If the development team was allowed the extra 10 months they ended up getting, we would have had 64’s Reinhart/Carrie levels with Cornell’s Campaign and a proper Henry campaign too. Instead we got two very weird releases that didn’t satisfy anyone the way they were supposed to.

>>719074406
People here do, and a decent amount of those that actually play through it, but a massive number of others just think of it as "that weird shitty meme game" and even many that enjoyed it still either disregard most of what's even possible or great about the combat and systems or act like the story, characters and writing are a nonsensical parody since their favourite streamer and video said it was before they even played it.

>>719050391
Why is DS2 so hated anyways? It is just because it's too different to the first one?

>>719057970
The game isn't great but it has 10/10 atmosphere and the characters are all incredible.
