@Trajan BotW opens with a brief reanimation scene, an intriguing challenging world, and puzzles to solve before opening into a vast, beautiful world of exploration.

MGSV opens with over an hour long walking crawling/limping simulator running from a giant fire demon and helpless against horror-ish soldiers in bad scripted sequences before a bad scripted highway chase, before dumping you in an empty desert (with missions!)

One of these games has no story. The other would have been better off without trying to have one.

@NEStalgia I disagree completely.

MGSV also has a world that's fun to goof off in like GTA. BOTW just has a few different enemy types in little camps (similar to guard stations) but the enemies never really change or do anything different.

The puzzles in BOTW get really repetitive too. I ruined my replayability of the game after going back and finding and completing the 30-some shrines I didn't do before beating the game.

MGS stories never really make any sense, but I love the whole 80's Afghanistan and Angolian civil war thing. I do wish they could have thrown in Rhodesia.

@Trajan " like GTA" Oh...that explains why I hate it Can't stand GTA. Never "got it."

The Mass Effect dialogue wheel was a terrible idea and made wRPGs worse from a role playing standpoint.

@Ryu_Niiyama How could going from a list of possible sentence-long options down to "Me good", "Me so bad", and "I'm neutral like Belgium!" leading to the responses of "Rescue puppy from burning dumpster", "Shoot puppy in burning dumpster once in the tail to ensure he suffers before impaling him with the blunt end of a rifle", and "Insult puppy in dumpster then cleanly shoot him" possibly be a bad idea?

@NEStalgia aww don't make me laugh, I'm in a meeting. Besides one of those should be "accidentally romance the puppy."

@Ryu_Niiyama
-The puppy looks at you with terror in his eyes.
[Dialog wheel]
(A: "Hold on little guy...." _ B: "You shouldn't suffer more...." _ C: "^Examine dumpster")

[Actual responses after selecting one]
A: "EVERYONE SHUT DOWN THE MISSION THERE'S A PUPPY TO RESCUE! BRING IN AIR SUPPORT! DOG DOWN! DOG DOWN! EVAC EVAAAC!!"

B: Shepard shoots puppy in burning dumpster once in the tail to ensure he suffers before impaling him with the blunt end of rifle. "...and don't get in my way again......" then strolls away in slow exaggerated motion like a Michael Bay film villain.

C: Shepard glares in that creepy male Shepard glare "How YOU doin'?"

Skyward Sword is an awesome game and gen 5 is quite possibly the weakest gen in the franchise

there's no such thing as a bad mainline pokemon game (including lets go) and for the most part, the sonic trailer looks decent E X C E P T for the design.

also, anyone up for hot dogs? @DarthNocturnal

I can't relate to this. I only ever played Fem Shep. Hardened, cynical, but not without a moral compass lesbian Fem Shep.

Anyway, dialogue options that don't resemble what actually comes out of your character's mouth are one of my Western game bugbears. Thankfully, if you play on PC, a lot of these games have mods that replace the unrepresentative snippets with some of the ACTUAL dialogue.

It's okay for grown up men to play Girlie games like Cooking Mama, Style Savvy, Fashion games, Para Para Paradise, Akogare Girls Collection 3DS, Petz, Imagine series, etc. 🤓

This is kind of gaming related I suppose.
I think that the Sonic Movie looks good. Not great, not bad, but good.
Don't worry, I'm prepared for all the backlash I'm probably about to receive.

Smash bros online is a flawed system that favours stall tetics over actual skill, pokemon US/UM is possibly the best in the series, and the only things keeping the detective pikachu movie afloat is ryan reynolds, pikachu saying damn, and snorlax being shaped like a friend.
(this is very good at relieving anger

@Matthew010 This is absolutely not funny, delete this now or my lawyer will be in contact. 😛

@Doger Did Pikachu really say that? Insert image of Mr Krabs squinting his eyes here

Nintendo has no right taking down passionate fan projects. Fight me.

@TheAwesomeBowser Umm...I'm sorry?

unpopular opinions: The Witcher 3 isn't that good

i love RPG's but i just found the story boring, the characters unlikable and the combat clunky

My opinion: I'm right, you're wrong, debate over.

I (mostly) agree with these. Especially about dual joycons, which is my preferred way of playing Switch games.

In light of that, you're forgiven for your opinion on Xenoblade 2.

On Doom and Skyrim, while I do feel portability makes them more valuable to me, I think it also makes sense due to the newness of these versions in addition to cartridge costs.
