Incredibly trite gaming opinions that are endlessly parroted online

[MadPreacher]

That's what she gets for burning the coal.

*Yawn* You are free to insult my family because we all know that only American African negros have the mental capacity for it.

[glow=red][shadow=yellow]GENERAL GAMING[/shadow][/glow] motherfuckers. Take the shitflinging to PM.

[Humbaba]

No! I think we should ENCOURAGE shitflinging!

[jcd]

Prosperland existed for a reason.

[General Reign]

Half-life ruined shooters.
Castlevania 64 is ****.

"You are blinded by nostalgia"

Gaslighting thats what it really is honestly.

[Norfleet]

"You are blinded by nostalgia"

They say this, but they also can't name a non-nostalgiabait game that isn't ****. And the Steam sales indicate most people only play older games.

[Tangerine]

Visual novels are games too.

Visual novels are games too.

I'm pretty sure Powerpoint Slides are not games.

I agree. It's a trite opinion that is endlessly parroted online.

“A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad"

I ******* hate how this line get parroted in gaming in almost all online discourse regardless if it actually make sense.

[asf]

a delayed game is forever ever changing garbage

Well, implicit in this is the idea that the delay will somehow be used to make it good, as opposed to just making it bad later. This is, however, not in line with observed historical trends, where the later the release date, the worse the game generally is. Notice how that in 2025, pretty much everything is utterly ****, and if the trend is followed, things will only ever get worse.

"Phone games"

Oh ****, my classics!

[DrSneed]

Female protagonists are a good thing.

[psychic_dream]

Delaying the Dreamcast around the same time as the PS2 launch, with Sega of America shifting their original vision and focus from delivering sports and arcade experiences at home to action-adventures and weeb ****, could have saved it.

[Norfleet]

Female protagonists are a good thing.

Only if they're hot. Making an ugly chick as your protagonist negatively affects your sales. No one wants to be or see that.

you really don't get the point of this thread, huh?

[ThulsaDoomer]

Player choice negates propaganda chud, as it's simply optional to partake in the toucan victimhood olympics and gay sex.

[Norfleet]

Oh, I get it. I'm just attaching rebuttals and qualifiers to those opinions.

[maidenhaver]

What do you mean gaming is dead?! What about all of these good old games you've played a hundred times under a hundred other names?

[Fox1]

"You are blinded by nostalgia"

This. I ******* hate when ******* say this. Any YT video that criticizes a slop remake has at least 1000 of these comments.

[Fox1]

"How is having female characters woke? What are you? Gay?"
"Incel"
"Oh no black people exist in a game!"
"Define woke"
"Take your meds"

"There's no market for [specific genre that made money when market was 10x smaller]"

Imagine saying this about Harvest Moon when the problem (as always) was a combination of quality dropping over time and compromised design chasing after the fantastical idea that someone not interested in a farming sim would become a paying customer if they just added a superficial feature from last year's top seller. Essentially priming the market for Stardew Valley.

Many such cases.

[Norfleet]

"There's no market for [specific genre that made money when market was 10x smaller]"

What we have learned from watching what games become hits is that the market is ********, anyway, as the dumbest **** randomly becomes a smash hit for the most random reasons.

[Tweed]

"Really ****** game that was **** on for being ****" is better than you remember!

"Really ****** game that was **** on for being ****" is better than you remember!

I think they're putting this to the test with the re-release of Big Rigs.
