I don't like it because homosexuality upsets me. Beyond that I think it's okay.

>open thread in a mist of rage >rewired lizard brain aimbots my eyes to "cinematic" >read the sentence I'll stab you in the throat faggot, also half of these aren't even unpopular, they are in the category "common knowledge but there are some people delusional about it". And realism is fucking shit.
Brandon Nguyen
Realism does not mean world building retard
Anthony Collins
I agree, it's good that has nothing to do with my point. Saying that media should go towards being as close to real life as possible for its aesthetic when you can create literally anything is definitely an unpopular opinion, for good reason.
Mason Perry
That is not what I'm saying A 3D animator wouldn't get mad at his animating software for letting him use more realistic lighting and allowing him to use higher fidelity materials What matters most is how artists use the tools
James Howard
>>Games becoming more cinematic is a good thing Games have been cinematic for a long time, but the meaning of the word has changed, Parasite Eve was called the cinematic RPG, but it was all pure gameplay, now cinematic just means push forward on the stick and watch discount HBO miniseries play out Infront of you.
Andrew Anderson
Who are you quoting
Jace Foster
Where did that user mention worldbuilding?
Landon Foster
I assumed he meant worldbuilding because that is not what I was discussing at all by realism Unless you suggest that every game should be so abstract the inherent properties of light should be changed

Being contrarian isn't a personality.
Angel Miller
Yes it is.

The next WoW expansion will probably be good on the balance of things
It really isn't. The problem with being a contrarian is that everything you personally believe is built entirely on the opinions of everyone else. This thing is good. You enjoy thing. But the fact that other guy also enjoy staying means that you must hate thing. It doesn't matter if you personally found any merit in it, the things you spend time with is entirely contingent on what guy over there does. Which is the most cucked thing imaginable. You've given all your agency to everyone else and built your entire identity on doing the opposite thing everyone else is doing exclusively because they're the ones doing it. The implication being that if they did a 180 and started hating it then you would suddenly love it.
Austin Campbell
Yeah you don't even know wtf you are talking about Nobody plays sports games couch co-op
Jack Clark
Being contrarian, despite what most people believe, is not merely being against what most people align with because it is simply opposed to what they believe, it's when your opinion, belief or stance just happens to fall against what most people think.
Matthew Ortiz
Legion was a lot of fun, and Shadowlands had its moments. I'm not hopeful but I'm looking foward to it.
Evan Howard
Sure you can take a contrarian stance on something. Example being my disliking breath of the wild even though everyone else loves it. I'm mostly talking about the people who build their identity around being contrarian. The dumbasses who are contrarian for the sake of it.
Michael Harris
Based user. I'd give some merit to OP's point 2, whether online or offline, sports games have always been popular and something that people do to hang out, more so than fighting games from the 2000s on as well. Otherwise, OP's a dickless fag who can' form his own opinions without looking over his shoulder to see what everyone else is doing. >it's when your opinion, belief or stance just happens to fall against what most people think. Bullshit. Contrarians have no identity beyond thinking they have to disagree with whatever consensus, whether they hear said consensus by chance or go looking for whatever the popular thing is so they can say they don't like it. Fag

Carter Kelly
I'd say Starcraft is in the same bracket due to the insanity of its inputs, but you're about to have the rest of the RTS genre and all the moba retards seething.
Landon Foster
>>Fighting games have the highest skill ceiling of any video game >FGmanchildren actually believe this It's easy to move on from the remnant of poorly balanced arcade quartermunchers for kids, user. The games aren't worth the time investment for people who haven't sunk too much money and time in already
You’re really going to say all of that with an image from a very weeaboo ass anime with zero sense of self awareness huh.
Juan Moore
OP probably thinks that liking "tits anime #9999#" is a sign of maturity when shit like that's made for greasy nerds who have never touched a woman

>Men over 20 should not play video games obviously made for children All media is made primarily for children. They don't give a fuck about 86 year olds and you're going to have to learn to live with this kiddo.
Jeremiah Roberts
>Games becoming more cinematic is a good thing So let me tell you why this is an unpopular opinion. Different forms of media have different strengths and weaknesses. You don't read a book for the same reasons as you going to watch a movie and you don't watch a movie for the same reasons you go watch a stage play. Stage plays need an additional air of theatricality to account for the fact that the audience is in a chair away free action versus a movie with a camera can give you an up-close and visual on every actor who must now adjust to account for that. In the case of video games the difference in medium is that there is a player who can impose his will on the game world itself. Cinema is a single line narrative let's start from beginning to end and with collated experiences based on a character the writer selected. Put in video games the player might decide to do something completely different or completely break the pace that the writer set up. And that's fine. Players can learn about the world the right has created in a more organic way and poke at it in multiple ways. Maybe the player wants to be a big hero then again maybe the player wants to be an antihero then again maybe the player wants to try out being a full tilt villain. Or maybe a player will be interested in learning about the small stories in the various side quest pepper through the game rather than the big Earth shattering story that justifies the game world. Because the world itself is a story whether that game is open world or linear. Or fuck it, throw everything I just said out of the window and you can still have a fun puzzle like this small indie game called Tetris. That's something that movies can't emulate without bringing out another movie to explore that other avenue. No matter how hard the medium tries.
So claiming that it's a good thing to take away the main thing that sets a video game narrative apart to be a shitty copy a medium that already exists is fucking stupid.
This is the difference between OP choosing to like or dislike things based on other peoples' opinions and people being able to appreciate the actual merits of media and discuss it with some intelligence.

The real world sucks. >Games becoming more cinematic is a good thing Hahahahahahahahahahaha you're a retard
What about something like FFX? Incredibly cinematic. Linear story. Yet, exceptional jrpg.
