Are they really the ultimate villain of gaming's past, present, and future? Alleged Crimes >outright killing Sega consoles >forcing Nintendo into weak, gimmicky hardware >associated with further casualizing gaming in every generation they've released (i.e. "movie-games") >main instigator of the remaster pandemic
It's fascinating how people still discover new things to this day. Since this year marks OoT's 25h anniversary, I'm gonna dump some of the latest (no dying soldier or fisherman's hat)
The vast majority of shitposting threads on /vr/ target Nintendo, and Nintendo threads are far more likely to get shitposted. That the number didn't decrease during the holiday season and Christmas underscores the almost demonic nature of it.
This is the best first person shooter ever made. >some of the best AI in any shooter: enemies can shoot, throw grenades, dodge, roll, juke, take cover, switch cover, bait and lure you, coordinate with each other, even get angry or scared. you feel like you're fighting sentient creatures with a sense of self preservation, and not just cardboard cutouts. >enemy types, positioning and the tactics used by enemies change every time you play, meaning no firefight ever plays out the same way twice. endless replayability with skill-intensive gameplay that will challenge even veteran players and cannot be wholly memorized. >graphics are still beautiful 20 years later with lushg landscapes and moody, chilly brutalistic architecture >butter smooth animations, all sorts of fancy lighting and particle effects, killer music and voice acting... presentation is superb >impressive physics system, real time rendered projectiles, enemies react realistically to being shot, insanely long object/decal permanence, tons of attention to detail >balanced weapon system that prioritizes strategy and critical thinking (low IQ shitters who think the pistol is the only viable weapon need not apply) >timeless multiplayer Let me make something very clear: every game commonly said to be better than Halo CE is trash. It's almost astounding to me that somebody could call a game like Halo "baby's first FPS" while defending garbage made by id, Epic, Valve or Rare. Your average id shooter fan would get absolutely fucking raped on Legendary. Halo CE's gameplay is so incredibly cerebral compared to shit like DOOM or Quake (the allegedly "hardcore" shooters) that it isn't even funny. Halo 2 is what spawned the casual, consolebaby mountain dew and doritos culture of Halo. Not Halo CE. Halo CE is a solid gold 10/10 game that should be held amongst the likes of Super Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time. It is, in every conceivable way, a better game than anything which preceeded or succeeded it.
ever play a game where you tell yourself it's good, but it left a sour taste in your mouth? for me, it's Paper Mario. don't get me wrong, there's a LOT of good there. but I just constantly felt the gameplay was underwhelming. the combat is sluggish, the exploration is one-dimensional, the dialogue is childish even for big N standards. it's a 7/10 game that gets away with it because of fun content. I subtly hate myself for playing it to the end. it just wasn't fulfilling as an RPG. is TTYD much or any better? I read that it's one big QoL, but many seem to rate it same or lower than PM.
I once posted a Times you acted like Kefka thread at /vr/ and a janitor somehow considered it more worthy of pruning than the average CRT-shader circlejerk, impotent scalper hate and console wars bait threads. Weird stuff.
