ITT: Incredibly Mediocre Games

It's not bad, mediocre.
They have a lot of good ideas but they all feel half realised if that makes sense.
There're survival mechanics like eating and bladder but they barely matter. There's aging but again it barely matters because each chapter is done so quickly and afterwards your characters are set to a random age anyway. The combat is easily cheesed so farming for equipment and stuff is pointless.

Every Kirby game.

So Yakuza, Ys, and Ace Combat.
Literally never even heard of those three trash series' until I came to this site.

The AI totally does activate it though.
On top of there being weapons that ignore that property of machina enemies anyway.

Is it even worth a pirate?

That's a big zoomer cope if I ever heard one

>The AI totally does activate it though
Something specific you had to do to make that happen? I tried playing rein because AI was fucking up taking agro from sniper girl and he would never give the buff

Yeah i can agree with it. I was able to get to the ship level but i was bored out of my life to finish it. They should really focused more on story than shitty rpg mechanics and boring exploration and fights. This would have been better as visual novel.

EDF

Yakuza is massively popular especially after 0 came out

i can assure you, you are autistic

No, the beginning promis an interesting story and gameplay but you get bored out of your life before beating first level

>This would have been better as visual novel.
The story is about the only interesting thing but not interesting enough desu

AKA, all the games my little zoomer ADHD mind can't comprehend

This too. That fucking spam a few weeks ago caught me off guard.

No, he just does it when you need it.
After I got Dunban in my party I put Shulk on AI for the rest of the game and had no problems.
But, if you set Shulk to AI, be sure to take Battle Soul off his bar so he doesn't fucking kill himself

Did anyone bother to complete this game? Can someone tell me how it ends and what Mamoru and Rin's deals are because I stopped after Ryo's chapter.
>Gets shown all the bad shit in his past but doesn't remember shit so he doesn't actually care
God that felt so pointless.

>he thinks doom and quake are relatively unknown outside this board

The definition of 'playing it safe'. It is safe, bland, and unchallanging, but worst of all it is practically jank free. It plays so well and smoothly that you know the devs could have handled actually taking a chance to do something interesting and most likely they would have pulled it off.

>half the achievements require levels of autism that no one has even achieved yet according to achievement tracking websites

That game is god awful Yea Forums.

Literally theres not a single redeemable part about the gameplay and the story only barely touches on mediocrity

Witcher 3, desu. No hate, but if you aren't into waifus or the setting in general it's just extremely mediocre in everything from open world design to combat and RPG elements.

Super Mario Odyssey is pure mediocrity

64 = galaxy 1 > galaxy 2 > sunshine > 3d world > odyssey

Best example. Looks promising, but it just bland the entire way though.

The story was great. The problem was the gameplay becoming very tedious. For the last few chapters, I turned the difficulty down to the easiest and rushed through it so I could finish the story.

3D World = 64 > Galaxy 2 > Sunshine >= Galaxy > Odyssey

> It's another boomer faggot thinks his games are popular simply because they recieve constant threads spammed on this board & are irrelevant everywhere else episode

Ys before the party system is really good. Ys Origin and Oath in Felghana are the highest points in the series imo. Not every game is for everyone, but I'll defend it from being called trash.

I unironically agree. I couldn't be bothered playing for long because it was just boring. Nothing engaging like Sunshine when the main collectables are as common as coins.
Movement was fun tho

I only put up with the fighting and exploration in order to hear those video story bits and their conversation in the camp. I would gladly skip everything else

Jim Sterling recently promoted this game

The devs wanted to make an MMO, but couldn't, so they just slapped the content from that planned MMO into a single player game.

Sonic Generations

This was fun first time through. Have tried to replay it a few times since and gave up.

Because 0 was actually decent, unlike the rest of them.

Definitely this granted it's borderline bad for a platformer.
The only good levels are the ones where FLUDD is taken away and they're few and far between.

>Definitely this granted it's borderline bad for a platformer.
what about as a game

A platformer being a type of game.

>for a platformer
is different from saying it's just a bad game but ok
