I know there is no mature stuff from Star Wars, but i really do not like Star Wars from every single aspects (characters, storyline, popularity, ost, toys, etc) because it didn't even click with my body and brain, i have zero interest with them. And when Star Wars added in The Sims 4 expansion pack, it was really annoying like someone put a raisin on my bun when clearly i don't like them.
@MsJubilee and ironically this is the one thread where Anti’s ideas are actually in-topic.
But yeah, guys, we’ve been through this before… There’s nothing to be obtained, no wins, no medals, no happy epilogue; so let’s move on… After all, this is not the “Change my mind” thread.

"(Some) bad games are legendary/are actually fun."
I'm agree with your opinion because I have experienced by playing certain "bad" games due to lack of this or that but it has some charm for some reasons. ☺
The "bad" games I have ever played was like Jake Power Handyman NDS, Animal Boxing NDS, Barbie as the Island Princess Wii, Koinu no Heya NDS, Imagine Party Babyz Wii, etc.
BTW, sorry for making you upset from my unpopular opinion. 😣
I'm tired of all the people complaining about Anti and responding to him while derailing a thread.
I bet the mods love that.
More.often then not it's him who derails the thread with his whole everyone and everything must change for me but I am not willing to change for anything attitude.
I understand not everyone is going to like everything and people aren't going to change but his whole rants on M rated games for example and that everyone must hate them and stop making them cause he does is just wrong. He wants us to accept him for the way he is, well he needs to accept others for the way they are.
Of course others need not to feed into his nonsense as well and should probably use that ignore button till he stops his b.s.

@HotGoomba The fact that people think that 2D games can't be 60 dollars baffles me. Especially if those 2D games have tons of effort put into them, like Octopath Traveler.
"It is fate. Many have tried, yet none have ever managed to escape it's flow."
I understand the vast majority of those games cost less to make than comparably major 3d games. But when you take enough other things into account from other full price games, yeah it falls apart. My favorite Wii U game was Rayman Legends, very obviously worth the full price.
I just watched GameXplain's retro review of Metroid: Other M, and was reminded of something that's been bugging me for many years.
I have no need or desire to defend the game. I've only played it for about 2 hours before I got bored and haven't returned to it since. I don't really feel the need to defend Samus' character changes either, but what I am really sick of are people claiming that Samus having a PTSD induced panic attack when facing Ridley is illogical.
PTSD will, more often than not, manifest itself many years after the traumatic incident that caused it. People with PTSD might be healthy for several years after the traumatic event, and experience new traumatic events, without getting sick. Then one day something happens to trigger the illness. It might be something related to the original trauma, but it might also be something much more mundane. In Samus' case it might have been the death of the Metroid that imprinted on her. Samus' original trauma was the death of her parents by the hands of Ridley, the triggering trauma might have been the death of the Metroid. It even makes sense that someone who couldn't save her parents from being killed would have an extreme reaction to her own "child" saving her.
Great story telling shouldn't have to rely on people understanding PTSD. Metroid M's story telling seem to be bad based on everything I've read about it. Samus' panic attack might also be a case of bad story telling. With that being said, I'm kinda sick of people with absolutely no knowledge or understanding of a topic claiming A or B is illogical.
This goes beyond gaming too. If you're gonna claim something about a topic, make sure you've at least done the most basic of research. Spreading misinformation is never a good thing, even with something as trivial as video games.
@AlliMeadow I haven't played Other M, but have similar feelings about The Last Jedi. People call it a character assassination of Luke, but I genuinely think it's his best arc in the whole saga. It shows that even the greatest of us can make mistakes, get consumed by regret, shut down, suffer depression and PTSD. But no matter how far you fall, it's never too late to find hope again. The fact this was done with a beloved character you wouldn't expect only made the message more powerful.
I would go on about how it doesn't actually betray the man we saw in the original trilogy, but that could be its own thread, and I'm already kind of off topic here.
I feel confident in saying, whatever your thoughts on it, the Last Jedi is better written than Other M. Because that's a very low bar to clear.
The problem with the ptsd theory is that Other M is absolutely hack-tastic writing, so its impossible for me to take that theory seriously when the story doesn't understand the basics of writing in any visual medium (or any medium for that matter), nor understands the most basic appeal of the series it is in. It's a lazy explanation for a story that blatantly just did not think very hard about if what it was doing actually made sense. I'm fine with people liking the game's story, but I'd prefer they not make giant leaps in logic to try to justify it. Or at least not pretend the story is doing what its not actually doing. Just enjoy the story at face value, that's fine.
My issue isn’t whether or not the PTSD theory was intended by the writers, but that arguing against it without having any knowledge about PTSD is just ignorant.
It’s enough to point out that nothing in the story indicates PTSD beyond the panic attack. It might have been the writers’ intentions, but they obviously failed at getting their story across if that was their intention.
When push comes to shove it really doesn’t matter what a writer intended if they fail to get their point across.
