The Return of.. Terribly Unpopular Opinions.

Consider Dragon Quest it's own series. To lump them with Final Fantasy is a discredit to both IP. Ogre Battle 64? No way -

Video Game Discussion Thread: Now Featuring Animated Avatars
DarkSakul replied to Darc_Requiem's topic in General Discussion
Both last gen and this gen the Joke has been Xbox has no games. Also there always been a strong National pride for consoles in Japan. The Xbox consoles never sold well there. In actually the last good Microsoft machines that sold well in Japan was the MSX line of microcomputers, and MS licensed that off to a dozen or so manufacturers to make. If anything, MS if they want to sell big in Japan needs to take that route again. Let some Japanese company take over the Xbox brand in Japan. -
The Castlevania/Bloodstained Thread: Whip It Good
DarkSakul replied to DoctaMario's topic in General Discussion
Well when you have to start a new IP from scratch because the IP you used to work on is legally off limits. You have to give them a pass on this. Plus Bloodstained did pulled from existing Mythology, they just stayed away from Dracula is all. Also aesthetics is very subjective. I still feel Bloodstained is more Castlevania than Lord of Darkness or those Pachinko Machines ever were. You haven't looked at the stories of the past Castlevania titles then, didn't you. Castlevania II, Castlevania III, Rondo of Blood, Bloodlines (which stole ideas from Bram Stroker), Symphony of the Night, Lament of the Innocent, Portrait of Ruin, Order of Ecclesia, Aria of Dawn/Sorrow, all used very cookie cutter Anime-style story elements. -

You think so but the Japanese are HUGELY nationalistic. So far Japan felt more burned by MS in the past than Sony, and they are more forgiving to a native console. -

As it was all over the place, incohesive and didn't make much sense. There a thin line between brilliance and insanity, Nier Automata crossed that line by a mile. -

I agreed it got boring quite quickly. For a Linear Game, it has sandbox like eras that has no visual or thematic clues what is going on or what direction to take So its easy to get lost with no direction and nothing to hold interests. If you going to go into Sandbox mode, you need sandbox attention getters. The Legend of Zelda for the NES did Sandbox better than Nier Automata and that's said something that a game from 1987 with it's minimalist approach does more than a modern game from 2017. At least the NES Zelda set up expectations from the start that you need to explore every nook and cranny by not even giving you a starter weapon. Nier was, here go this mission that was already in progress, do this Shmup segment, Fight this OP Boss, now some boring cutscene you forget about before its over and plop you into a Fallout city with no expectations or explanations (as you ignored the cut scene). And when you do find you are going the right way, you find robots fucking each other, literally. All Nier really had was bizarre anime ascetics and a pretty female protagonist set in a spin off, of a spin off, of a spin off. It Nier Automata is way overhyped, and if I didn't get it on a summer sale of $10 on Steam I would of been pissed how much of a let down Nier was. BOTW Works as they set up early on whats the expectations for exploration and give the players the tools to learn how to explore and what the visual clues are. Everything feature wise in BOTW was tested in a 8 bit 2D version of the game first (ala NES style) and if they can't covey that feature or item in 2D 8bit game play, they don't bring it into modern 3D space. All Nier had was a producer who liked to troll the fuck out of people -
Yet I still like Zemo in the MCU than Jonny Walker

Sounds like poorly unoptimized code to me. Keep in mind Most PC games runs on Windows with DX APIs running, PS4 runs on a Sony custom Unix-based OS with completely different APIs. I take it as Namco don't optimized the code well for the Windows version. I see a few other Console First games being ass on PC (w/o mods to fix it) Example Nier: Automata is also ass on PC. -

People have the choices to do what they want. Even in the unpopular opinion thread, if you post trash, expect others to respond in kind. The thread theme and topic does not make you immune to criticism.
