recent: tears of the kingdom, or as i like to call it botw 1.2, its the same thing all over again just with one or two added gimicks, the open world is dead, npcs are boring and nintendo just got away with it like that

not so recent: i cant stand persona 5, joker and his entourage are annoying teenagers, the time management is a horrible gameplay addition and the artstyle is just a visual overstimulation

with that being said,~~ plz dont kill me~~

Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West. Game is so empty and has an open world for having an open world’s sake. Couldn’t stand it for longer than 3 hours.

A Way Out - go anywhere and ask for a good co-op game and this will be recommended to you. It took me and my girlfriend about 3 hours to beat it. It didn’t feel like a game as much as an interactive movie and it has zero replayability value.

Also, I don’t want to share spoilers but the ending is… bad? The twist leaves you feeling bummed :(

I played it with the idea of it being a cheesy 80s Action Movie and it works for me.

Have you tried It takes two? It’s the same developer but a way better Co-op-game.

I’ll probably get roasted for this but… Pokemon. It just seems like endless copy/paste and might be one of the laziest game franchises I’ve ever seen. I’ve really tried to get into them. I was there when the Pokemon cartoon started, I saw it rise to the phenomenon it is today, but damn if it isn’t the most boring grindfest ever.

That’s a very common complaint for the last, hell I don’t even know, 20 games or whatever.

True, I’m not saying anything I haven’t heard before. It’s just crazy that people keep buying it thinking “Maybe this one will match the memories I had when I was 10.” I guess nostalgia is a powerful drug. Even more powerful than I thought… just looked up the Pokemon franchises worth and it’s estimated at 74 billion. Now I know how boomers feel cause I just don’t get it.

Yeah I don’t get it either. I don’t even get the nostalgia aspect, there are just so many new Pokémon that I feel they completely drown out the ones I grew up with, the first like 250 iirc, I have no desire whatsoever to play the new games.

But I suppose it’s still very popular with kids all around the world as well so there’s that.

Uncharted 1. A lot of people told me that I have to play the uncharted games, they’re groundbreaking. I can understand that the early games were ahead of their time when they released, but they aged badly. The physics, the story, the gameplay - everything feels just like trash.

If you don’t have any nostalgic memories of the game and you play it for the first time today, you’ll think it sucks.

I liked the bits that felt like I was playing crash bandicoot and hated everything with guns.
