Most overrated games.

[Shield Breaker]

I won't deny, Skyrim does have some interesting mods to it. I just wish someone made some better combat for it which is funny since Oblivion and Fallout 4 had better melee combat but that could just be my own tism getting in the way of it.

I think the combat in all of them is pretty crappy. Morrowind is at least fun because of how crazy you can become with it. I am currently playing as a Final Fantasy Dragoon in it.

 

[More AWS-8Q Than You]

The worst thing about Skyrim combat is how they changed how magic is used. In Oblivion and I think in Morrowind you could roll with a spell on your spell key and a two handed weapon and didn't have to constantly switch between them. Two-Handed Light Armor Battle Mage was how I rolled, but in Skyrim it's not nearly as viable an option.

Two-hander, heavy armor, restoration with a 2-handed Dawnbreaker mod and Dawnguard heavy armor is pretty fun as a Nord Crusader/Paladin build. Just wish Laura Bailey would stop bitching about the weather.

I pretty much used Oblivion and Fallout 4 as examples because the former made me feel like my guy wasn't winding his attacks while the latter actually made me feel like my melee attacks can kill something in a couple hits without feeling like something was a sponge. Then again, I'm more or less seeing combat in Skyrim as shit. Morrowind's combat may of been meh but even then it gave me more fun than swing a sword like a bat at a viking zombie. Daggerfall and Arena's was better in that it was anaglog in the sense you just hold down a button and dragged your mouse cursor to feel like you were swinging something.

Bioshock Infinite, more like Infinite Hype

• Elizabeth was touted as this complex character, but is just an UwU Special Damsel that gives you supplies and has a character arc as deep as a puddle.
• The gameplay is walking through (nicely designed) linear levels to kill dumb AI, with limited guns you have to keep dropping so you never benefit from upgrades and can never define your style, and crappy boring Plasmids that don't transform gameplay. A snoozefest.
• The general themes are clumsily overdone and on the nose. Exploitative capitalism is bad? Covered in Bioshock 1/2 already, and better. Racism is....bad? Who would have guessed. Did you guys know that violent revolution can be nasty and Innocents get killed in them sometimes? Don't worry, the game will remind you at length.
• The 'alternative universes' gimmick is just that, a cheap trick. Oooh, look the Budda is actually a Comstock statue now. Do you want to fight a ghost? Super easy, just bring one through a Tear. Wasted potential.
• The ultimate thrust of the story is nihilism. Your choices don't matter, you can't change yourself, you can't change society, and all pathways are preordained. The only agency you have is suicide. Talk about a depressing overall arc.

In conclusion, Bioshock Infinite is a well polished but meaningless piece of nihilist propaganda that encourages you to kill yourself.

And the DLC gets even worse, it sets up an infinite loop IF i understand correctly

The Outer Worlds was generically praised upon release but I had to force myself to finish it. Its constant one note stream on the failures of capitalism got old, and the gunplay was weak. How am I supposed to roleplay as a sociopathic corporate agent if my character is wearing heavy armor and wielding an ax, as opposed to a suit and either no weapon or a handgun?

As someone who doesn't even like the series, Borderlands is a better take on the same basic concept (albeit being less of an RPG and more of an action game). Speaking of, Borderlands.



Degenerates like you belong on a cross.

I replayed New Vegas recently and it REALLY reinforced how massively disappointing The Outer Worlds was.

God of War 2018 is an above average hack and slash and not much else

Super Mario 64.

It's a groundbreaking game for it's day and is still solid today, but isn't spectacular, it doesn't hold up as well as some of the earlier 2D Marios nor some of the later 3D ones.

I mean don't get me wrong it's pretty good, but
as far as games that are held up as "all time greatest" ones it's comparatively meh.

Super Mario Odyssey is the best 3D Mario in my opinion.

Most of the people who say odyssey is the best 3d mario usually get tired of it after like a month or two. I am personally a galaxy fan.

I think the reason that Mario 64 works so well is that it ends right before you get sick of it. It has a lot of good ideas, uses them liberally, has enough levels to be good but not so many they repeat things and a visual style that's clear and easy to keep track of. Odyssey, whilst amazing, is a very, very large experience and much as I enjoyed playing it (in three different stints) some of the Moons are over the top hard (I'm looking at you skipping rope) and there's just a lot going on that makes it feel bloated.

Bioshock Infinite was garbage.

It's good but it lacks the intense atmosphere of the past God of Wars, ie no sex whatsoever and the violence is way toned down, it also lacks the variety of locales since you keep returning to the hub area over and over again instead of a steady progression, so it lacks some of the "epic journey" feel of the past games.

I hope for the next one Thor kicks Krato's ass and takes Atreus away to Asgard, Kratos gets some of the old anger back and cuts a bloody swathe to rescue Atreus while also stopping and taking the time to fuck some Viking girls.

A Mario you can play for a month or two before getting tired of it is pretty dang good if you ask me, any game will get old if you play it long enough.

I can't put into words how sick I am of the renaissance Minecraft has gotten over the last two or so years.

Yeah it's less of the fact the odyssey has difficult levels and more that the game is bloated.

Eh well there are folks who play the previous 3d mario games and seem to almost never get tired of it from my experience While it's probably nostalgia it also has to do with the fact how different every game is.

Grand Theft Auto

Elder Scrolls

Mass Effect

Fallout

Team Fortress 2

Metal Gear Solid 4

Some of the older Nintendo games (e.x. Super Mario Sunshine)

Almost every "sandbox" or "non-linear" game

Probably others...

Oh absolutely. The level design itself is exceptionally good, they're just so sprawling that it's a little much sometimes. You think about a M64 level like Whomps Fortress or Tiny Huge Island. They're compact, tightly designed but they do a LOT with what little they have. You compare that with something like Bowsers Castle in Oddysey which is vast and almost pointlessly spaced out, it becomes tedious to search for secret Moons even though the level itself is very well designed.

It pretty much is the exact opposite of galaxy one, where in galaxy the levels were too small. But at least in galaxy since the game was straightforward and well your goal was much clearer (go to center of universe, get power and grand stars, beat comets, and get 120). Also imo galaxy was just more interactive. Odyssey while super fun, it's just sooo much.

I'd say Odyssey probably has the best "campaign" of any 3D Mario, but Galaxy is a better game overall. Hopefully a potential Odyssey sequel can iron out some of the kinks.

Kirby. All Kirby games are shit. All of them.

All Kirby games without Superstar style combos are are shit

Probably going to be unpopular, but Super Smash Bros.

This series is fun, but nowadays, it seems like lost potential. I feel like Brawl was the last truly great game as it did so much with the concept. Brawl had a story mode, bosses, trophies and stickers, and so much more to be all about Nintendo history.

Smash changed after Brawl as Wii U and Ultimate focused more on roster. Now we have a huge roster with little to do and a dwindling list of side modes outside of basic smash. It sucks. The community has also gotten more unbearable over time whether it’s the people that say Sakurai can do no wrong, or the ones that hate everything then start fights with Dragon Quest and Fire Emblem fans. This series is way too overhyped and has so little ambition to try new things anymore. I hate that people place Smash above titles like Breath of The Wild, Odyssey, or even Three Houses, when all those games clearly had more ambition and heart put in, while Smash is an over bloated ghost of its former self.

More Characters is better then more distractions
