Post contrarian core games

>>11910601
So true, probably the worst metroidvania

>>11910629
It's not enough to remember what comes next, you still have to actually do the thing. Precise jumps, attacks, and maneuvers do require timing and coordination.

Contrarian core means any game that isn't universally acclaimed but has fans?

Complaining about "contrarians" is like admitting that you have no taste or personality and that you're just a sheep who only likes the games that the norm tells you to like. You probably get "your" opinions on youtube.

>>11910601
>>11910603
Filtered anons like these make me sad that others may be genuinely put off from playing a great game.

>>11910596 (OP)
worst 3D CV
>>11910601
worst Metoidvania CV

and they're both made by the same team of hacks lmao, good thing Konami gave the series keys to IGA after firing these hacks

>>11910753
shitty/hated games faggots insist they are good
or a game widely recognized as the worst (or one of the worst) in it's own respective franchise but contrarians will tell you it's actually the best, see Code Veronica or REmake fags for an example

>>11910691
Nope, that one is genuinely good and charming
>>11910760
It depends on what you mean by 'contrarian-core'. If you like certain games that the public says are shit it's completely okay but for example if you claim that RE0 is the best RE game or that Castlevania 2 is a misunderstood masterpiece that is better than SotN then it certainly makes you a contrarian because there's just no way a human being could genuinely believe shit like that. Or how a couple days ago one anon was shitting out walls of text about how Mario 64 is one of the worst games ever made. Contrarian = really disingenuous basically

>>11911129
>REmake
>widely recognized as the worst
You almost had me but you made your bait too obvious at the end

>>11911146
REmake is contrarian/poser-core turd
contrarian because tendies assblasted by RE4 porting to PS2 tried to cope by pretending REmake (a game no one begged for it to get ported) is actually their crown jewel, then when it was remastered to PC no one played it lol
and poser because of all the ''dude it's Le prefect remake!'' shilling but since the RE2 remake showing this posers what an actual good remake looks like they became silent and once RE1 gets the modern remake treatment everyone including (you) will forget this turd existed
hell even here on /vr/ there is a general census the OG PS1 version mogs it

Can't tell if bait or just schizo rambling

>>11911143
>RE0 best RE game
I can believe it solely on the fact that it's the hardest one, so if the person enjoys difficulty above all else it's the best one.

>Castlevania 2 is someone's favourite CV
I can believe it

>Mario 64 is shit
I can also believe that opinion, I don't like it myself, and I tried. I hate the moveset, I hate the lack of art direction, and I dislike some of the levels layouts.

>>11911176
>>Castlevania 2 is someone's favourite CV
>I can believe it
I can't
>I hate the lack of art direction
Man... I think that anon I was referring to is actually you lmao

CV64 could be considered good based on its soundtrack alone. It's fun and a worthwhile entry.

>liking Castlevania 2
Nah, not impressed. The best games in the series are clearly Vampire Killer on the MSX and Haunted Castle, if you disagree then you take your opinions from ecelebs and don't belong here on /vr/, a place for people with refined taste in video games

>>11911160
None of what you said is true. There is a lot of back and forth on this thread on the topic and as someone who enjoyed classic RE as a casual (meaning we had so many games we would beat it after renting it for a weekend or two w a buddy then move on) and I would much prefer the REmake. It’s simply more fun to play without tank controls if you’re just a casual RE player. Also the general consensus for RE4 is it’s a great individual game but not a particularly good Resident Evil game which has nothing to do w it being an exclusive for awhile then being ported to every system and getting a remake when there is nothing wrong w the OG as far as gameplay and graphics (again as an individual game and if it were wholly original series probably would’ve done better acclaim wise but you were always going to piss off longtime fans especially those of the series who enjoyed the story, as cheesy as it was.

Also clearly rage bait or something but I couldn’t understand your entire post either ESL or doing you’re best “angry gamer rant” like that funny fat guy on YouTube who got old quick.

>>11911207
>It’s simply more fun to play without tank controls
I don't know if it's because I'm so used to tank controls but playing REmake with 'modernised' movement feels awkward and clunky

>>11911160
Does anyone on /vr actually like the re2 remake? It was so bad I legit dropped it and will go back and play it w tank controls, it was that bad and boring. It’s just not fun at all especially when the tyrant or whatever shows up and is basically nemesis which, I do not remember that being the case in the OG but it’s been a long time.

>>11911207
>RE4 is a good game but not a good RE game!!!
lol this is the contrarian shit this is about
the general census is RE4 is not only the best RE game but also the scariest/creepiest game in the series
yes i know this is a shocking revalation to a poser like (you) who was raised in the hivemind of the self proclaimed internet RE ''fanbse'' which in reality is just a a very tiny loud minority of pseud fags pretending they repsent the majority
and DEmake sucks btw, even Deadly Silence was a better remake

>>11911234
Well this is just obvious bate. I love scary games but no way is re4 in any way scary it’s an action shooter. Classic re was scary because as a kid the graphics were terrifying and the game trained u early w the windows and the dogs to always be on guard. Limited supplies and you don’t just blast everything in sight.

I know this is just bait tho. I mean I wish I was younger and got my opinions from forums that would be awesome to be in my 20s again but alas nah, just a casual at the time gamer.

>>11911251
>nooo RE4 can't be scary because it's acion shooter!!!
and so was classic RE
>b-b-but i was a kid when i played classic RE and it scared me!!! and no i don't care about those who played RE4 in their childhood :)
aha! so you are a nostalgia blinded faggot
what a fucking subhuman you are the lowest of the low, the trash ruining /vr/
and RE4 is far more scarier and atmospherical than your ''Le doggy jumpscare made me pee my pants :('' slop, keep coping

>>11911267
Check out this nigga! Bets to the last time this fag actually played a video game much less a /vr one?

>>11911234
RE4 would have been an alright action shooter but it was totally ruined by the abysmal QTE's

It's not a real RE game either because it doesn't have actual zombies. Deadly Silence was way better than RE4 (unironically).

>>11911160
>>11911234
>>11911267
I think someone unironically forgot to take his meds and I don't mean it in a meme way

>>11911318
Or he’s on them and the meds he is taking is causing this. Maybe zhe is transitioning and it’s causing all this insanity and bile to come out of his head and onto the keyboard. Let’s hope his operation goes totally fine and they don’t have a complication that mames him for life or god forbid, kills him. It would be such a loss to this community at the very least.

>>11911179
If that's the case you went from what I said "I don't like Mario 64" to "Mario 64 is the worst game ever". Exagerating what was said to the point of giving it another meaning solely because you disagree with it and to make the other opinion look bad.

I think this says a lot not only about the insecurities you have with your opinion, but it also says a lot about people complaining about "contrarians". Most of them are people who can't accept seeing a different opinion and who then make up lies to make that opinion look worse than it was.

>>11911318
Really? Don't you think it's more likely he's just bored & trolling by pretending to like RE4 in the retro board. I mean it's an alright game but clearly a step back from its predecessors.

>>11911327
> "I don't like Mario 64"
Didn't you say that it was complete trash and the worst 3D platformer? Because I struggle to believe how someone who's into the genre could think that SM64 is THAT bad
>the insecurities you have with your opinion
What opinion?

>>11911312
i was playing Azure Dreams yesterday
unlike you ''retro'' posers with you shitty onctarian opinions i actually play vidya
>>11911317
QTE slop sucks but it does not ruin the game like the cimson heads ruin DEmake
>It's not a real RE game either because it doesn't have actual zombies
if by actual zombies you mean the generic blind slow walking moaning zombies with their hands up like a freaking mummy then good reddance RE4 got rid of them
zombies = undead, having interesting intelligent zombies like Nemesis in RE3 is much better

>>11911364
cope, you jumped on the thread because you saw me criticizing your favorite contrarian-core slop DEmake

>>11911368
But I literally said nothing about the game! Also
>contrarian-core
Isn't it like uh... a well... regarded game?..

>>11911374
>Isn't it like uh... a well... regarded game?..
yeah....by contrarians

I hated this game when I played and was kind of shocked to see how much acclaim it was still getting

>>11911476
I'm the same except with Blood Omen, thought it was really boring as a kid and still think it's just a really mediocre game. It's not offensively bad but I think it is, for lack of a better word, overrated. But this is off-topic actually because I don't think it's contrarian-core, just decided to mention it because you posted Soul Reaver

>>11911482
>not contrarian core
my apologies seems I've miss understood this thread

>>11910596 (OP)
It was a neat game doe

>>11911476
You have to understand in the context, when it came out there were no other "edgy" 3D platformers.

>>11911482
Blood Omen is gothickino, you're not allowed to dislike it

How is this contrarian you dumbfuck retard? is this a fucking zoomer projecting the game's lack of notoriety in the present to the past?

>>11911664
I'd honestly rather it if you'd remain silent

>>11911160
Nothing triggers the /vr contrarian harder than REmake because it did literally nothing wrong but they have to hate it out of principle anyway. So you inevitably wind up with schizo posts like this that are just overt denials of reality mixed with autistic screeching

>>11910596 (OP)
Based

>>11911583
Underrated core

>>11913367
I'd honestly prefer it if you'd be quiet

Did some zoomer make a faggy Youtube video mentioning this place or something? We've been overrun with garbage threads and retards infesting them for like a week.

this game is actually good
its just overshadowed by the other games in the series being so bad, so everyone assumes this one sucks too
it doesnt, its actually rly fun

>>11914770
Did you just woke up from a coma? We've been invaded by zoomers since 2020

>>11914775
This game is like Alone in the Dark 1, all of the other games in the series are complete garbage but that one is just regular garbage. One of those franchises with 0 good games

>>11914786
i dont think its garbage at all desu
its a CRPG-like ARPG on the fucking sega genesis. thats fuckin neat.

its problem is that most ppl playing now dont have the manual, and dont bother to look for one, so all those CRPG mechanics like encumbrance, food/satiety/energy, good/evil monsters which change your characters alignment based on who you kill, etc, all go unnoticed until its too late. and then its just a nasty surprise. and so they get filtered
>wtf why did i just die?
you didnt bring any food, ran out of energy, and so you couldnt hurt anything anymore, and could hardly move
duh

frankly, imo, the genesis library wouldve been greatly enhanced if more devs were willing to try such retarded and strange ideas like that more often.
super hydlide and shadowrun are really the only two games i know of that actually try to be more than just console RPGs. albeit shadowrun does it a lot better. but super hydlide is still pretty fun once you acquaint yourself with its mechanics

>>11914825
crpg mechanics were a mistake

>>11914828
see thats what im talking about tho
i like computer RPGs. theyre way more fun and always have way more going on than jarpigs. you just have to know a bit about the mechanics so that you can not be blindsided by them. which isnt a problem for any CRPG fan, because were used to looking at manuals before we play an RPG

your ineptitude is the reason that game has its rep. its not the games fault. its yours for being an consolefag

>>11914846
Tell me what does having food/hunger meter adds to the game besides making it more tedious?

More like filter core

>>11910596 (OP)
fuck it, lets summon that schizo

>>11915781
What? All metal slug games are the same thing except the 3d one

>>11914752
This one is the best in the series though

>>11914786
The DC alone in the dark is good.

>>11911347
My nigger, were you playing GBC or PSX version?

>>11910601
I got this when it came out and enjoyed it. What's wrong with it?

>>11915032
>Caravan Hearts
underated kino better than the overrated GBC games

>>11911221
I doubt anyone was filtered by the first GG/Master System Sonic, it's easy as fuck. The 2nd one on the other hand, yeah I can see it.

>>11916743
PS1
i finished it and got all of the waifus, i disliked the level reset for the MC and the wet fart of a ''final boss'' but overall this is a good game (with Suikoden DNA in it) i still think Torneko 2 is a better game but it's easily top 5 Mystery Dungeon games
shame it didn't recieve a proper sequel
when Konami decided to ''kinda'' do it instead of letting the same old team make it they gave it to literal who hacks in China and they made that Turd Adventures game
this is why i have no fate in that upcoming Silent Hill game, chinks will fuck it up again

>>11916750
Nothing, it just filtered IGA babies.

>>11916750
play Aria of Sorrow and you will understand why it fucking sucks and why Konami was retarded for not letting IGA make the CV debut game on GBA

>>11916793
Way to conveniently avoid mentioning the piece of shit that is HoD, also Aria is bland as hell.

>>11916804
HoD was a passable game and it's much better than Contrarian of the Moon
this is a fact not an opinion, no one likes playing that tedious sloppy outdated Cunt of the Moon garbage
it's not even a real metroidvania (no stores lol) it's an abomination just like CV64

>>11916763
Awful shit incorrect opinion and even worse taste, I played all dragon quest monsters and CH is easily the worst of them all and I dare say it's not even a good game.

>you are stuck with a shitty slime and eggplaton for a good chunk of the game because recruitment was fucked and culled
>the caravan mechanic fucking sucks and you can't reliably customize what characters you want even after the post-game
>retarded food mechanics
>breeding was replaced with the dumbed down heart shit

The only two positive things are seeing the world of DQ1/2 again and the post-game that should have been the main game as it actually resembles real DQM games but more tedious.

Making your own pseudo town was cool but they could have let us have a few more people in the caravan.

>>11910596 (OP)
I loved this game as a kid and I love it now
Nothing contrarian about it
I have no idea why it was so hated unless every castlevania fan has the spatial intelligence of James Rolfe and are unable to peform simple platform jumps in 3D space without having a sperg out

>>11917013
It just sucks compared to SoTn

Psx chads are having a grand arpg adventure and you are playing a clunky 3d platformer

>>11916827
>no stores lol
Why would it even need a store?

>>11917017
>Psx chads are having a grand arpg adventure
You mean a grand, padded slog.

>>11916750
>What's wrong with it?
It's a piece of shit

>>11911129
The re fan base has an extremely high concentration of contrarians.
Either that or its just that one mentally ill beccafag who shits on all the good games and defends 0 to death.

>>11918954
It just happens imagine an unsatisfactory game with good scenes and terrible gameplay

Anon would always blame anything but his own taste

>>11910753
Yes.
>>11911129
>or REmake fags for an example
you are not going to psyop people into thinking that game is hated, no matter how much you agendapost on this board
also
>inter-subjectivity = objectivity
This board is still at whatever age they're nostalgic for in terms of development

>>11918971
>you are not going to psyop people into thinking that game is hated,
it's not hated it's just people don't care for it, a forgotten slop
so when you see some contrarian faggot on the internet swearing up and down this DEmake is widely viewed as the best in the series by the RE fandom you know he is making shit up

>>11915429
It's good if you're not a brainlet

It's hard to tell but there is one REmake spammer and and at least 1 countersignaler
