games you found overated Anonymage 10/04/25 (Sat) 13:25:23 No.63216 [Reply]

Games you played that were not as good as the mainstream masses/reviewers would had you believe.
Also games that were recommended by "patricians", that turned out to just be games that cater to their autistic taste.

While I didn't find the gameplay or aesthetic of borderlands bad. The writing is so god damn cringy, it's like a boomer trying to write something he thinks modern teens like. After 2 hour I just couldn't stand it anymore. Gearbox were veterans and they had the backing of 2K a major publisher, this was the best writer they could get?
The deigns of banished isn't bad. It just that it felt like doing homework instead of playing a fun game. Many hours of planning, trail and error. Only an autist could think about spending the weekend for this.

Dad of bore reboot which won game of the year award. They butchered the series to cater to casuals who prefer watching movies over playing games, and to feminists who wanted to desexualize female characters. It copied the last of us formula which also won goty award.

crysis, far cry, square enix games in general, half of capcom games, crash bandicoot

Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is a half-made game…

Doom is overrated, its a piece of kitsch now. Wolfen-stuff - can't judge it…

Stuff like Cooking mama, cookie clicker and such - overrated by halfwits who are too anxious to play sudoku 9x9 (e.g. the simple and original one)

…

Super mario 64 and Super mario odyssey
But Sunshine was underrated

Anonymage 10/08/25 (Wed) 16:45:48 No.63223

BL2 is only playable with mods that shut off dialogue.

That aside imo dark souls is very overrated. Don't care for it one bit. Masochistic combat is gay and lame and waiting for enemies to do their cool moves while you walk around and dodge for 50 years like a cuck to hit once or twice is boring as fuck. Halo 2 is also overrated campaign-wise which actually does pain me to say because I like Halo and was very disappointed in the smoke and mirrors revolving 2's campaign as well as unbalanced design of high difficulty probably from lack of playtesting

I'm looking for games from the 2000s and before 2010, mainly. But are free to recommend.

These are my PC specs:
Windows 10
4GB RAM
Intel Celeron CPU N3050 @ 1.60 GHz (2 cores)

I wanted to play .hack//G.U., but my PC is crap and can’t handle the PS2 emulator.

I'm looking for games with a good story, dark humor, and absurdity (I hate using that term, but I can't think of a better one). I’m into JRPGs like Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and .hack//G.U. — I haven’t actually played any of those, but they’ve always caught my attention kek.

To give you an idea of my taste, here are some games I like:

>Bioshock 1 & Infinite
>Manhunt 1
>DMC 3
>Postal 1
>Katana Zero

Deus Ex
C&C Renegade (it's campy as hell)
Farcry 1 (weird fun balance between camp and serious)
The modern PC ports of FF7-FF9 should work for you
FF6 SNES Emulated is quite good
King's Quest: Mask of Eternity

I'd suggest that Godhand is worth trying the emulator again if you liked DMC

Another outlier would be Silver, which tried to be FF7 and a street brawler, didn't quite manage either but showed the idea had merit.

And because it's from the era and an important landmark, Grim Fandango.

That's basically point and click adventures in a nutshell. Try out pic related but also other classics like Full Throttle, Monkey's Island, Sam&Max. These games have surprisingly good writing are full of dark humor and absurd ways to solve problems are often the only way to progress. so if you are accurate in your self assessment you should be loving these games. They also run on a potato.

Silent Hill Anonymage 10/07/24 (Mon) 12:21:27 No.61886 [Reply]

since the remake of silent hill 2 dropped, I am interested in the silent hill series. I never played a silent hill game before so I can't argue about it because I k'ow nothing (well just the stories I've read on wikimedia yesterday haha).
Wich silent hill you've played?
which is your favorite SH? Did the game you've played was scary or not?

She asked for it, but she wasn't really in a mentally sound place to be making those decisions. He was so fed up with her being mean and dragging his whole life down that he snapped and did it. Only after did he realize that he had made the decision and she wasn't really in the right mind to choose such a thing. He felt guilty having survived the horrible situation after. She would have died anyway? Why couldn't he be stronger just a little bit longer? Did he want to get revenge? He's not the person he always imagined himself to be.

I think Silent Hill basically represents depression. All the protagonists did something at some point that haunts them and Silent Hill forces them to face their demons. Except SH 1 and 3 that are about Alessa being reincarnated as Harry's daughters, first Cheryl and then Heather.

The only games that matter for discussing any kind of overall plot are 1-4, since those are the only games made by Team Silent before everything got outsourced.
>All the protagonists did something at some point that haunts them and Silent Hill forces them to face their demons.
See, like this was something unique to Silent Hill 2 that the later games that were outsourced to other developers just ripped off, so people think it's something inherent to Silent Hill itself.

Game Recommendation Anonymage 05/23/23 (Tue) 12:40:02 No.59973 [Reply]

In this thread, ask other wizards for game recommendations.

I'm starting a new thread to look for wizards who played lots of city building games. I'm looking to get immersed in one of those games and I mean I want to completely forget this world exists. I don't have a preference for theme, though I would prefer not to play anything medieval. However if you played ton of these games and the one you think it's the best happens to be medieval themed I don't mind, let me know. Thanks in advance.

as someone who plays mutliple gacha games daily they are everything wrong with modernity, it's super short attention span with new characters getting released weekly to keep you interested, everything is live service slop to milk as much money out of you as possible and there is something truely sinister people finding community on what is essentially a glorified gambling app, I see so much community art and engaged and people feeling like they belong somewhere on a corporate chinese waifu slop people are finding communities on zenless instead of church and this is exactly why I hate modernity and how gacha is a manfiestation of that

We're wizards. We would only be tolerated without full acceptance in a church or other physical third spaces for normalfags. The digitalization of communities may be alienating for most of humanity but it is an improvement for outcast nerds who don't belong. Not that even we can be easily accepted in online communities but it is better than having to talk to random normalfags from your town. If you don't like a chinese gambling game community there are many other communities online that is a product of modernity.
