Mine? Mystic Quest was fine. It was a fine game. Was it amazing? No. Easy as heck but the charm and personality of the game is just so great. The music slaps, the world is fun even if it is restricted to linear paths. People treat it like it's the most brazen insult to JRPGs. It's just not true. It's a perfectly average game that is a fun beat-it-in-a-day game.
XP leveling systems and fast travel are bad mechanics that make games worse for their inclusion.
Making eSports teams be a thing was not a sustainable idea. Standard sports have stable rules, steady attendance revenue. Electronic sports are at the mercy of each game's developer and can't attract as many attendants
If Owlcat games was able to make 2 Pathfinder video games with Real-Time with pause gameplay, Larian Studios has no excuse for not doing for BG3 (and DOS2)
Mario Kart is not a fun casual party game, because it rewards skilled metagame play way higher than racing skill.
While valid game design, it means new players will just be crushed by bullshit and not know how to improve by just playing better at the game in front of them.
A lot of multiplayer games are made unplayable for newcomers because they'll be instantly slayed by a minority of players that revel in the killing of everyone they meet even though it's not the focus of the game.
Even though there's potential for cooperation, it almost never happens. You'll be quickly massacred by space pirates, roaming bandits, or whatever that have amassed high end weapons and ressources.
People who complain there were not enough good games spend too much time playing games.
I fond Uncharted original trilogy extremely boring and repetitive. I also dislike TLoU for many reasons. I understand why most people love them, but I just can't
Its ok to be a newbie but if you aren't at least going to give a good faith effort to try and win, don't play team based PVP games. Go play a single player game.
OG Final Fantasy VII is the worst of the mainline games.
Now, I haven't played II, IV, VI, XI, or XIV. But I feel pretty confident about this.
Resident Evil 6 is one of the best games in the franchise. It's definitely the best out the 4-5-6 era. It's huge, has many, many hours of gameplay due to the three different campaigns. The monsters are fun, even if they do have guns, and the bosses are the wild and insane kind of Resident Evil content I'm in it for. It has all those romantic overtones between Chris and Piers. I'd call it a must play.
Nintendo needs to release old-school versions of Mario, Zelda, and Metroid again, maybe hiring out an indie developer like Sega did for Sonic.
People love to hate on motion controls, but when implemented well, they are actually the best way to play shooters. Also without motion controls VR would have never gotten to where it is now.
