I find Zelda BOTW to be extremely boring. The dungeons are carbon copies and tedious. The art design is boring and kinda ugly.

We don't need a new switch or any stronger gaming hardware at all. There are games 10 or maybe even 20 years old at this point who nail realism. Once I'm in the flow of the game, I wouldn't rate e.g., Dark Souls 1 visuals below Eldenring despite their ~10 year gap. So I'd prefer not spending on a new console every so often.

More recently, I couldn't tell you the difference between a PS4 and a PS5 release without a side-by-side comparison. Maybe in loading times, but a PS4 with an SSD would have done the job. Once again, I won't spend on a PS5 for as long as possible.

Lastly, without this focus on graphics, development time and cost probably wouldn't be so ridicolulous as it is today.

RE 4 on wii is the only reason I could play the game. Played it on playstation 2, couldn't even get pass the first village. But the wiimote control is a game changer. It makes it soo easy to aim.

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.

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

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

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.

PVPVE is not fun. Pick one, is your game PVP or PVE?

I'm sorry, I thought this was a hot take thread

There has not been a good AAA game since 2016 and I don't think there will be

Interested to see how hot this take actually is but... The Nintendo switch is the best console ever made. As a lifelong Nintendo fan boy (Nes, right the way through) I may be a little biased but I have also owned various PS/Xbox and I don't think I've spent as much time on any console as the Switch. Being locked inside for a few years during the pandemic helped, but even a year or so after that I'm still playing. It helps that Breath of the wild is maybe one of the best games ever made, and Tears of the Kingdom is, so far, an incredible sequel. But also playing Overcooked with my wife and more recently Mario Kart (a personal "couples goal" of mine I never thought would happen) has filled so many lazy Sundays with hours of gaming joy.

People who complain there were not enough good games spend too much time playing games.

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.
