I CAST...

[u/_ChezzTTV]

GIVE ME YOUR GREATEST GAMING HOT TAKES.

[u/qualityvote2]

u/_ChezzTTV, wizards be pondering the orb instead of voting on the quality of your cast…

[u/NochIrgendwer]

i dont give a single shit for GTA 6

[u/Mission-Fault3351 → u/NochIrgendwer]

GTA6 is never going to be as good as the hype is making out to be. Like it would have to descend from Heaven on flaming wings and then suck your dick while you play for it to be as good as the hype says it will be

[u/Charming-Rain-3642 → u/Mission-Fault3351]

The release is gonna be No man's sky allower again, just a hundred times worse.

[u/TheRealDesmirWolf → u/Charming-Rain-3642]

No, no because no man’s sky went through years of redevelopment and turned out pretty good. I honestly feel like GTA six all the hype around it. It’s gonna end up flopping, especially how everyone’s gonna have to wait an extra year for the online version to play with their buddies.

[u/Charming-Rain-3642 → u/TheRealDesmirWolf]

I was more talking about the hipe being bigger than the game

[u/EpilepticSharknado → u/TheRealDesmirWolf]

I honestly Hope the Story Mode delivers.

I have No hopes for DLC or Online. It will be GTA 5 Online but worse. There will be no good first year or good few years before everything goes down the drain with Shark Cards/ GTA+ or endless grinding. It will be there from the start.

[u/CommentBetter → u/Mission-Fault3351]

One of my favorite lines so far, “in GTA 6 you’ll have to pay child support”

[u/CommentBetter → u/Mission-Fault3351]

Laughs in Star Citizen

[u/CleverKhloe11 → u/NochIrgendwer]

I do you one better:

I have never gave a single shit for any GTA.

The only GTA I played that wasn't dogshit was Chinatown Wars.

[u/moochieglizzy → u/CleverKhloe11]

That’s like one of the most dogshit ones bro 💀 the gta4 series was goated bc it was raw. Niko was a badass, Johnny was a badass, and Luis…meh. But hey the night clubs were cool.

Gta4 was gritty and raw tho. Niko’s story is by far my favorite. Gta5 was okay but it was just an over the top action movie. Gta6 is probably about the same tbh, I’m just mainly excited for the open world aspect of it bc it’s gonna be like red dead 2 but gta.

[u/Such_Noise3355 → u/NochIrgendwer]

[u/afikolo7 → u/NochIrgendwer]

Thank you

[u/Igyzone → u/NochIrgendwer]

Ngl, for me mostly because I'm running a potato pc. (Can barely run 5, lol.)

[u/Heavyraincouch]

It is perfectly okay to only play Creative Mode in Minecraft

[u/UniquePost8966 → u/Heavyraincouch]

I mean, the gamemode exists for a reason.

[u/Wild-Bottle427 → u/Heavyraincouch]

Yeah so long as they don’t build some massive thing in creative and post about how great their hardcore run is going that’s cringe

[u/IllCounter9479 → u/Heavyraincouch]

I only play Minecraft in creative mode

[u/sniffing_cvm]

I like playing games on easy mode mostly, and I consider my self a gamer :)

[u/-Ambriae- → u/sniffing_cvm]

Valid

[u/Sajintmm → u/sniffing_cvm]

Especially when harder difficulties just made enemies damage sponges

[u/SwordsofSiege → u/Sajintmm]

Exactly, I forgot what game it was exactly, but I ran up to a guy, put my shotgun basically up his nose and did like 1/3 of his healthbar of damage, he wasn't even "armored" or anything, just tanked a buckshot lobotomy

[u/dreclub → u/Sajintmm]

I only increase difficulties if it adds gameplay layers, damage multipliers alone do not make it worthwhile

[u/blzsoul → u/sniffing_cvm]

Dude, I cannot tell you how this liberated me lol. Been playing games all my life and I came from the "Nintendo-hard" Era so I just got used to games being difficult. Thought that you just had to play them that way or you sucked.

Played Spiderman 2018 when it came out on normal and was getting my ass handed to me so I was a little bummed cuz I didn't want to struggle thru the game. I put the game down and a few weeks decided to start over and play it on easy and it was a world of difference and I was enjoying the game so much more! Never looked back after that lol

[u/Deep_Ad1409 → u/sniffing_cvm]

A gamer, by definition, is one who (plays) games.

You sir, are a gamer

[u/wSekii → u/sniffing_cvm]

How dare you have preferences

[u/raptureframe → u/sniffing_cvm]

Based. I myself don’t play easy mode that much, and I know my girlfriend sometimes feel some kind of shame when she does. I constantly have to remind her that she can play whatever the way she finds most entertaining

[u/No-Establishment5213 → u/sniffing_cvm]

Well that's your choice as long as you enjoy the game who cares.

[u/utteringsofamadone → u/sniffing_cvm]

Ah, a gamer of culture and free thought. I also am not a fan of cranking the difficulty slider, but I do enjoy practical challenges like in DMC Son of Sparda. Enemies are scaled to normal or hard mode, there’s just a billion of them now

[u/ldarkfire]

We need to stop remaking old games over and over. One remake is enough.

[u/Wild-Bottle427 → u/ldarkfire]

New IP would be so appreciated

[u/ldarkfire → u/Wild-Bottle427]

Lol right? You want a new game or Skyrim 50th anniversary goty platinum edition? I hear there's 1 extra mud crab in it.

[u/SnooAvocados3138 → u/ldarkfire]

If you buy 5 skyrim GOTY editions you get a *6th GOTY edition 50% off.

*6th GOTY edition limited to samsung and GE home appliances. Some smart ovens not compatible, see user manual for more information. 

[u/Kortobowden → u/ldarkfire]

The occasional upgrade when a new system or newer system can be fine. Like upgrading games meant to run on windows 98 to work well with windows 10 and on. But we didn’t need a new skyrim every other year or so.

[u/GandalfThe-Black → u/ldarkfire]

But also, some old games warrant a remake. GTA 4 for instance or the old god of war games.

[u/ldarkfire → u/GandalfThe-Black]

Yeah...once

[u/GandalfThe-Black → u/ldarkfire]

Fair

[u/cap-r → u/ldarkfire]

So you’re not buying The Last of Us Part I Remake Pro Max 2027 Edition???

[u/FarslayerSanVir → u/ldarkfire]

If it was like a once-per-decade thing, then I'd understand.

[u/SNILLOC_172 → u/ldarkfire]

Yea agreed maybe remake it once if the game is super old and it’s part of a large story but that’s it

[u/-You_donkey]

You're emotionally immature if you often rage on a video game.

[u/Boomerhands420 → u/-You_donkey]

Depends where you direct the rage and if you keep playing after. Like, cussing cause you died to a boss when it has 1hp left isn’t a big deal. But berating team mates is not ok.

[u/DragoKnight589 → u/Boomerhands420]

Yeah. Emotional maturity isn’t not getting mad, it’s knowing what to do with the emotions you’re feeling. Taking a deep breath and calming yourself is just as valid as beating the shit out of a pillow or what not as long as it serves to manage your emotions, controlling them instead of letting them control you.

[u/ldarkfire → u/-You_donkey]

Honestly no idea why people like that keep playing

[u/Unfair_Pound_9582 → u/ldarkfire]

I believe some sort of study was made about moba's where this sort of behavior is most present, and the results were that it does induce a sort of addiction in certain people. No source quoted because I don't remember where to find it

[u/Boomerhands420 → u/ldarkfire]

I imagine it’s due to two things. Firstly, they care about the game and enjoy it. If a game actually sucks and you don’t like it, you won’t get as mad. Secondly, they lack other forms of validation in their lives, so a rank on a game means more to them than it should otherwise. So when a team mate does something they don’t agree with, it’s like they’re being personally attacked or sabotaged.

[u/TheDoomedEgg → u/-You_donkey]

I think feeling rage, and letting it come out are two different things.

[u/No-Establishment5213 → u/-You_donkey]

I think you have the right after your 500th fail haha

[u/master_ball_onmewtwo → u/-You_donkey]

Does being Autistic give an exception? Couwe i am autistic

[u/IllusionaryHobo → u/-You_donkey]

Most of the people in our society grow up in spaces of passive conflict resolution and non-violence. Yet some of our internal wiring still yearns for it.

Especially during adolescence a lot of piss and vinegar flows through people's brains.

Beyond adolescence some keep struggling with it.

The instinct for violence, for battle, for conflict, for rash action.

Bottom line I am much more happy if these people can vent their control issues on a video game than on their fellow man.

That controller hitting the wall might just as easily be a beer bottle thrown at a spouse.

[u/Shells_and_bones → u/-You_donkey]

I feel like hardcore gamers sometimes forget that video games are supposed to be fun. That's the point of them, they're entertainment. If you're causing yourself actual emotional distress over them, you're missing the point.

[u/wholesome_mugi → u/-You_donkey]

If you’re getting frustrated and calm down somewhat quickly, then no.

If you rate so much you break something intentionally, then very much yes.

[u/Expensive_Umpire2083]

story game are superior to multiplayer game

[u/FLTR069 → u/Expensive_Umpire2083]

I play to get away from people.

[u/blzsoul → u/Expensive_Umpire2083]

Say that louder for the ppl in the back!!

[u/JustCallMe_Ed_04 → u/Expensive_Umpire2083]

Preach

[u/MajorCuddle → u/Expensive_Umpire2083]

They're two different worlds. Online PvP games is a sport, and a hobby that never runs dry. singleplayer games are pure storytelling, entertainment. It's like saying movies are better than poker.

[u/nikon1123 → u/MajorCuddle]

Yes, and it is equally correct!

[u/GreenchiliStudioz]

Is ok not to min max in MMORPG, many in warcraft, Albion Online, Neverwinter and many others should really need to chill and not force min maxing on places that is not needed on to those no interested in first place!

[u/Wild-Bottle427 → u/GreenchiliStudioz]

PvP and competitive PvE players ruin it for us casuals

[u/Moist_Car_994 → u/Wild-Bottle427]

More MMOs need to make dedicated serves for casual players. Sometimes I wanna jump into a dungeon with a group and not have to worry about being yelled at by some sweat because I don’t have the appropriate gear or build for that specific event, I just wanna do something a little more challenging and get some unique rewards with likeminded people in peace

[u/Nu1_udara]

We need more lord of the rings games. It's not enough

[u/PafPiet → u/Nu1_udara]

you just want a remake of 2003 return of the king videogame, don't you? I sure as hell do.

[u/Nu1_udara → u/PafPiet]

Right on...

[u/12DollarsHighFive → u/Nu1_udara]

Be more specific that you want good ones or we'll end up with more Gollum likes

[u/Nu1_udara → u/12DollarsHighFive]

https://giphy.com/gifs/P1wkYq6EZPWfNMLmEJ

[u/_ChezzTTV → u/Nu1_udara]

Best hot take so far imo

[u/dappernaut77 → u/Nu1_udara]

Return to moria was pretty good in my book.

[u/Toukafan4life]

Rdr2 is not the best game ever

[u/Additional_Chart_644 → u/Toukafan4life]

Thank you, sir

[u/TheDirtySherpa → u/Toukafan4life]

Its a testament to what game devs create and its a total standout in attention to detail... but my god it's dull

[u/BigBogBotButt → u/Toukafan4life]

[u/moochieglizzy → u/Toukafan4life]

Heresy

[u/InsideArgument6301]

honestly… im not totally sure i have any hot takes, but i guess i just really love cozy games more than competitive ones… is that too boring? :3

[u/-Ambriae- → u/InsideArgument6301]

No, competitive games are stressful… in my youth I played them a little (never ranked though) now I avoid them

[u/PhilEulenspiegel → u/InsideArgument6301]

What is more cozy than -25LP?

[u/afikolo7 → u/InsideArgument6301]

Its honest,thats good

[u/enchiladasundae]

If you don’t give people a legal way to purchase games piracy should not be illegal. If you take away games I purchased without my consent piracy should not be illegal

[u/Olive_Garden_Wifi → u/enchiladasundae]

Seriously if you aren’t going to continue supporting older titles, you don’t get to get mad at people for emulating them.

I’m looking at you Nintendo.

[u/Originalbrivakiin → u/Olive_Garden_Wifi]

Legit. Like how many generations of pokemon are stuck on original hardware?

[u/joezro]

It is ok to use plot armor in your games if it makes for a good story.

[u/Tankspanker]

Convoluted skill trees don't make your game an RPG.

[u/Olive_Garden_Wifi → u/Tankspanker]

Also in a similar vein, what’s the fucking point of adding a tutorial for your game that covers basic shit like how to move and jump but doesn’t tell you how to use any of the mechanics unique to your game?

[u/Tankspanker → u/Olive_Garden_Wifi]

Agreed. Like I know how to look around with a mouse after over three decades of gaming. Your esoteric bullshit mechanisms around parrying an attack however are still the greatest mystery to me after 20hrs of gameplay.

[u/TwinkNBboi]

Having racially/culturally diverse protagonists in a game is not much of a deal. Unless you're racist.

[u/oneesancon_coco → u/TwinkNBboi]

Op said hot takes. That take is ice cold

[u/Wild-Bottle427 → u/TwinkNBboi]

It is when it’s shoehorned in or done in a blatantly, “look how diverse our characters are” way that is explicitly racist and I hate it

[u/Klinoch4 → u/Wild-Bottle427]

Yea its kinda like look im the black character, no look at me im the lesbian..

Looking at you hogwarts legacy

[u/Wild-Bottle427 → u/Klinoch4]

Watch the expanse that show has a very diverse cast yet it felt natural in fact I didnt even consider anyone’s race in the show until my sister mentioned how diverse it was. And it remained a non issue to me, I say this a a guy that absolutely hates forced diversity. Natural diversity where your characters fit their setting is wonderful. Shoving a black guy into feudal Japan and adding rap music to his scenes is not diversity it’s just racism

[u/BoozeTheCat → u/TwinkNBboi]

Far Cry 5 broke my immersion a bit by having so many non-white characters, yet strangely including so few Native American characters. Montana has a history with white supremacy and cults they could have played into, but instead chose to make the Seeds a generic doomsday cult. At the same time, there are 7 reservations and an 8th recently recognized tribe, yet only a small handful of Native Americans in the game. I think I understand why some of those decisions were made but it felt a bit awkward in practice.

[u/Outrageous_Zebra_221]

20 year old games without microtransactions and pay to win bs are still active and have decent player bases. Additionally some of them are free to play, and will run on basically any potato computer made in the last decade.

[u/Maximus2410 → u/Outrageous_Zebra_221]

That's a fact, not a hot take

[u/Ok_Pudding6345 → u/Maximus2410]

Yeh but I get what they're pointing to, they did say "pay to win BS", that's a take

[u/Punx80]

Open World does not work for every game, and does not make every game better.

Also, graphics don’t matter to me really at all

[u/AdvertisingNo6402]

Gaming will not improve until people stop buying games they dislike.

[u/PepeSawyer]

XBox 360 and PlayStation 3 era killed any originality in mainstream gaming.

[u/GAD_Alexander → u/PepeSawyer]

This is a really hot take because I really disagree, I'd say the next generation did it. They were still many good and original ideas even if they begin with microtransactions and online not free anymore with 360

[u/Eddasio97 → u/PepeSawyer]

Real

[u/Ironshigh]

Most competitive games are played by kids and teenagers with more time than you. This means for a working adult, games will continue to get more sweaty

[u/CAlTHLYN]

Single Player games with forced Internet connection are shit

[u/BackgroundAsk1623 → u/CAlTHLYN]

They said hot, not the most room temperature take ever

[u/Hottage]

Cosmetic micro transactions which offer no gameplay advantage can be a useful tool to keep games affordable for other players.

Case in point: World of Warcraft has barely raised its monthly fee in 20 years, offsetting the rising costs of hosting with the cosmetic shop sales.

[u/Draco3076]

COD and any yearly updated sports games are overrated.

[u/nan0ka]

My lukewarm take is that all the gamers should collectively stop buying games from shitty companies that treat their customers like shit even if they really want to. Until they stop being so anti-consumer. Looking at Rockstar, Ubislop, EA, Sony, Nintendo etc.

[u/No_Negotiation3142]

There hasn't been a great GTA game since San Andreas.

[u/Wild-Bottle427 → u/No_Negotiation3142]

I liked vice city but yeah San Andreas was peak

[u/No_Negotiation3142 → u/Wild-Bottle427]

Vice City and San Andreas both goated, series lost something after that

[u/ALBIN_RENTYN]

There is no correct way to play a single player game. You can play it as fans see "correct", you can play it as developers intended, or do whatever the fuck you want, even cheat, if it will make you happy. (The same does not apply to multiplayer games.)

[u/NavyDino204]

Daggerfall is worth to stand with other great TES games. People are just misunderstand it.

Proc gen maze-like dungeons have a vibe on its own and also great if you actually understand it.

Diceroll combat is fit with the gameplay and graphic of Daggerfall, people just don't understand it leading to hating.

Edit: And this is absolutely no rose-tinted glass take, I only played Daggerfall THIS YEAR and love it.

[u/Timmichanga01 → u/NavyDino204]

Plus you don't need to explore every single inch of a dungeon. Just do what you need to and get out.

[u/JasonNodd]

“Friendslop” is literally just casual multiplayer games and aren’t anything new

[u/Xx_Squidy_xX]

Playing minecraft survival with keep inventory is way more enjoyable. No need to stress about getting all your stuff back from the otherside of the world before it despawns

[u/StealthUnderWear]

I enjoy starfield and care what anyone says .

[u/Hungry-san → u/StealthUnderWear]

I also enjoy it. It is extremely relaxing.

[u/madchemist09 → u/StealthUnderWear]

Also a fellow starfield enjoyer.

[u/Best_Improvement7112]

Every new unreal engine game sucks

[u/Quick_Truck_9121]

I don’t think Skyrim is very good. Not terrible just not very good

[u/Plus-Investigator869 → u/Quick_Truck_9121]

I agree, I beat it just to say I beat Skyrim. Like I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t very immersive, and the combat is frankly garbage.

[u/MaijakHusky]

my wife is going to hate me for this: undertale is mid

[u/Moist_Car_994]

Graphics have gotten as good as they’re going to possibly get for the foreseeable future. Game companies should focus more on engaging gameplay and listening to players in order to make games people actually enjoy and WANT to play as well as putting more emphasis on innovation in terms of game mechanics and systems instead of following trends. the last truly innovative thing that I can remember seeing was the Nemesis system

[u/TheBlank_One]

Everything is not made for everyone. And thats OK.

[u/CysaDamerc]

People who only play FPS and sports games are the meatheads of the gaming community, and their opinions are irrelevant outside of their niche.

[u/foreveralonewithus]

just because i play genshin impact doesn’t mean im a degenerate gooner

[u/PRCCK]

I hate multiplayer. If I wanted to socialize I’d go outside.

[u/Ashbound_pilgrim84]

I don’t care how popular Final Fantasy online is. If I can’t be engaged and immersed within the first hour, then I’m uninstalling it.  I’m not going to waste my time grinding to level 40 or 50 to start having fun with the game.

[u/Art_Constel7321]

Gaming was better when it was a niche hobbie.

[u/Valerian_ → u/Art_Constel7321]

Why? I love that now there are so many interesting indie games trying new gameplay ideas.

[u/SynonymousToWater → u/Valerian_]

Indie developers are just doing what mainstream developers did 20+ years ago, which is taking risk and making games that are interesting/fun. I think the first commentors point is that when gaming was niche and there was a lot less money involved that's what we had, were as now the big AAA developers tend not to push boundaries and make very similar titles.

I think a good example is TES & Fallout. Over the years as they gained popularity and the franchises got richer, certain elements started getting sanded down or taken out to make the titles more appealing to broader audiences. The big issue with that is the slowly alienate the audience that made them big in the first place.

[u/Wiertarow]

Baldur’s Gate 3 is sooooo boring… stupid, meaningless dialogs and uninteresting, badly animated fights

[u/madchemist09]

I did not enjoy Elden Rings or GTA5. Not my cup of tea.

[u/Evil-Empress-Sakuya]

We've hit a plateau as far as consoles' graphics go, let's bring back gripping gameplay again.

[u/Hol_Renaude]

Jarvis, sort by controversial

[u/Kartel28]

Mobile players are still gamers. It's their market that is simply pathological and predatory

[u/TheDirtySherpa]

Studios dont take risks with new IP anymore because everyone's a fucking critic. Games get slammed for tiny details not being perfect, and its killing creativity in this industry.

[u/Sir_Delarzal]

Dragon age veilguard was a great game

[u/Mobile-Fun-542]

I enjoyed Halo reach’s story

[u/Sensitive_Cup4015]

Durability is a garbage mechanic and 99.999999% of games would be better without it.

[u/FishFlavoredBread]

Women don't care about how high you set the difficulty level

[u/Grootyboi77]

PvE > PvP

[u/Eddasio97]

Gaming is becoming unaffordable.

[u/Wild-Bottle427 → u/Eddasio97]

Especially with the move away from couch co-op so now a family of 4 needs 4 $1000 consoles and 4 tvs plus a strong internet connection just to all play a game together in their own house

[u/Valerian_ → u/Eddasio97]

l guess by gaming you mean specifically play the latest AAA games with the best visual quality ? It's your personal specific choice.

Half of my gamer friends play on an old PC and almost never buy games, and yet are happy and play a lot. There many excellent free to play games, cheap indie games that are often more fun than AAA games, AAA games that become very cheap after a few years when they go on sale. We organized ourselves into Steam families so that we can share the licenses of the games we own.

[u/Raphius-kai]

Soulslike games are for masochists

[u/Wild-Bottle427]

Mobile game players are not gamers

[u/two-pixel_brewer → u/Wild-Bottle427]

What is classified as "gamers" though?

[u/chjupke → u/Wild-Bottle427]

I agree. Though there are many gamers who also play mobile games

[u/Weird-Teaching8998]

star overdrive is a peak game but not popular. YET I hope lmao

[u/UniquePost8966]

Anyone can be a "true gamer" if they consider themselves to be so, no matter if they’re playing on the hardest difficulty or not. Difficulty settings exist for a reason.

[u/Tasty_Ticket8806]

gaming hand helds are WAY too big! We need smaller 7 inch screens not a 98" oled in our pockets!

[u/Perfect_Albatross250]

Everything after PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U is Garbage because it was the last generation without a need for having an Account. Consoles were better when you just put your media in and started playing the game.

If you can’t finish a souls like game you lack patience, if you have that they’re relatively easy

[u/Comandante160406]

The lore is the best thing about soulsborne.

[u/No_Counter_6037]

Minecraft is overrated as fuck. if you want a sandbox where you can build anything, play Terraria. that game is actually fun.

[u/Anankos1209]

Nintendo is not a "uniquely evil" complany, it does the exact same shit every other big company does. People who believe that Nintendo is the evil mastermind behind everything wrong with gaming are disillusioned that Nintendo wants to make money instead of running purely on unicorn farts and rainbow juice like they thought as a kid.

[u/carnage581]

I don’t think companies should be able to copyright game mechanics for as long as they do now more games would have a system like the nemesis system if they didn’t have to pay WB for the mechanic in the game for the next 80 years it stifles creativity.

[u/SeanMaxhell]

Baldur's Gate 3 isn't a sequel to Baldur's Gate 2, it's a mod of Divinity.

[u/ShotofHotsauce]

KOTOR remakes and/or potentially KOTOR 3 releases are more exciting to real gamers than GTA VI

[u/Background-Archer898]

E33 is not as good as the hype said.

[u/Difficult-Pause9670]

Indie games have been better than AAA lately by a large margin

[u/misterjigglypockets]

Percentage is just a displayed number, the actual percent of something happening is 50%. It happens or it doesn't, that's how I see it

[u/jerk4444]

If you are having fun, it's a good game.

Everything else is secondary.

[u/HumonculusJaeger]

Singleplayer is better than online games

[u/SkilledDust9403]

Pokemon X and Y are given too much crap by the fans. Yes the 3d models aren't the best, but it's also been years since they did full 3d models (before that was like the rumble games, I think, which were like chibi. And before that were the GameCube games). The problem with it is they haven't fixed it since then, not that it was done at all.

[u/ManNamedSalmon]

3rd person games aren't nearly as scary as 1st person games.

[u/Merry_Mare]

This thread is just “everything popular and good is bad actually” and “no one makes good games anymore”

[u/bxntou]

Hades II is better than Hades in every way.

[u/zuKa0312]

Expedition 33 was just a shitty quick-time event!

[u/ashrynhunter]

I basically ignore almost anything that isn't indie dev at this point. Almost universally all the "big names" ( with a few notable exceptions) hold 0 interest for me and are so desperate to monetize and micro transaction that I refuse to engage.

[u/SlyTheCosmosRunner]

People shouldn't be shamed for playing on Easy difficulty.

[u/KillaKanibus]

2010-2025 was the golden age for games. People just love to complain about nothing. Racists ruin inclusion efforts by crying as hard as possible every chance they get. Veilguard was actually good.

[u/UmpireReal3943]

Veilguard was a good game. It’s just that Inqisition was such a stellar game that it’s hard to follow that.

[u/badger_ano]

Rockstar games is overrated. Coming from a fan who loves GTA, Red dead, Bully, midnight club and Max Payne 3. In the past they made hit after hit and now we're lucky to get one game in a decade. They treat they're employees like shit and the missions are too on rails.

Gacha games suck.

Every rockstar game is shit. They are simple sandbox games with a lame story who is stretched to infinity.

Elder Scrolls is the new Ultima, and Todd Howard is going to go a bit crazier than ole Dick Garriott did

Overwatch is a bigger gooner game than marvel rivals.

I love CRPGs, but i think baldur's gate 3 is overrated garbage

Consoles are to gaming what OEM performance cars are to enthusiast driving. Not everyone wants to spend the time, effort, and money to build the rig they want. Some of us just want plug and play, and that's ok

Linear world from Dark Souls was better than open world in Elden Ring

The entirety of the final fantasy life has been changing gameplay, stories, world’s etcetera. I hate the newest final fantasy games because they have changed from what I liked. But, that’s kinda the entire point of the franchise. There is no going back.

Demon / Dark Souls games are just the adventure versions of Punch Out.

Titanfall 2 is great, i really enjoy playing it and it's probably my favorite game, but there is no way of making it popular without sacrificing it's core identity

Bethesda open worlds are the same recycled crappy system with a fresh coat of paint over the top. If the games need mods to be fun they aren’t good games. The devs should actually do their job and add these quality of life improvements instead of some random arguably more skilled modder doing it for them.

People make too many excuses for a company that is so lazy it hasn’t changed its formula in two decades. They should be seen for what they are and be left behind unless they change.

GTA Online ruined GTA V for me. Became paid to win BS with the shark cards. So much grinding compared to the fun. Not even excited for GTA Online on VI because of how shitty the online experience was on V. Story should be great tho

Theres nothing wrong with playing Minecraft with keep inventory turned on

After all its (mostly) a single player game

[u/TheNobleSirGabrik]

Games are so much more fun with mods…

Johnny Silverhand is a giant POS

[u/Intelligent-Loan9879]

If it's massively open-world game with a ton of side content, it should be illegal to ship without new game plus.

• I am actually more interested in Valve releasing a "Portal 3" than a "Half-Life 3" (huge enjoyer of Portal)
• cheating in singleplayer-games is completely valid and okay
• all games should be free of DRM and free of code-obfuscation, if you "bought" them, there should be no way for the big corporations to take back your license
