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~~
Couldn’t agree more about Tears of the Kingdom however I’d go one step further and say I can’t stand Zelda. I’ve played a fair few including BotW. Thought they were complete garbage.
The other for me is any game made by FromSoftware, and to that any “soulslike”. The game design and gameplay of these types of games are atrocious imo. It has always bewildered me how much love they get. I can’t comprehend it.
For some context, what are some games you enjoy? Or, perhaps, do you think are underrated?
(As a Zelda fan who also enjoyed but did not complete Elden Ring)
I have a broad taste, but tend to focus on more narrative RPG/Action Adventures.
As for underrated, I loved This is the Police but don’t think I’ve ever really heard it talked about.
Any game made by From as in their Souls series or that includes Armored Core and Another Century’s Episode too?
Honestly I haven’t tried Armoured Core or others prior, the Souls series was my first introduction to them.
Total agreement on all points.
I tried Sekiro, really gave it a solid go for a couple weeks, thought it was insanely difficult but I was getting the hang of it…
Then the tutorial basically ended. Fuck that game. The difficulty scale looks more like a cliff that turns over your head. No clue how anyone can enjoy that kind of thing. How is it enjoyable or relaxing to die 30, 40 times before beating a boss??
I have the exact same opinion as you do. I really don’t understand the hype around zelda games.
