I hate story. I just want to play the game. It interrupts gameplay, I don’t care about story 99% of the time I end up skipping it as much as possible. Games with lots and lots of dialog bother me.

As much as I love a game like GTA V I skip as many cut scenes as I can.

I have no interest in watching streamers of any game and there are way too many of them.

Nintendo > PC > everything else isn't worth owning

FPS is by far the worst genre of gaming

My sort of hot take is that Final Fantasy 12 (especially The Zodiac Age version) has the best combination of battle systems and music of any FF game. I replayed 9 and beat 12 for the first time recently, and it struck me how much more I enjoyed the minute to minute gameplay in 12.


Zodiac Age is much better, but I still have no idea how/why obtaining specific pieces of gear somehow teaches me special abilities or grants me additional stat bonuses.

Final Fantasy 12 is terrible and one of the worst ones they ever made.


Final Fantasy 7 is one of the most overrated games ever made. It is barely, even, top 5 when it comes to Final Fantasy games

FF 9(greatest game ever made)
FF 6
FF 4
FF 8/10/7 these three are interchangeable to me.

Sort of agree.

It’s the monotony that gets to me when playing them.

I 100% agree. They’re all the same. I’ve bought them, play them once or twice, then it sits. I’ve finally learned my lesson.

Turn-based fighting is absolutely garbage and that's why I'm fine with never playing a Final Fantasy game.

I think the push for a more open, larger world is a complete waste of time.

It hurts far more than it helps and I count the amount of times on a single hand that it's be done well in a video game.

The Last of Us was at best an above average survival horror game. There was nothing remarkable about it whatsoever and is easily the most overrated game of all time.

Games of the modern era should be challenging but not oppressively so. The purpose of playing a video game should not be to experience and overcome challenge but to experience a story and explore a world through an interactive medium.


It's people like you that have ruined video games. Go read a book or watch a movie. Games are games. Games are supposed to involve winning and losing.

Edit: this is probably an overly harsh thing of me to say particularly in a thread where people are supposed to be sharing somewhat edgy opinions. So you'll have to forgive my nerd rage. It's just sort of a hot-button issue for me.

I can't help but to be impressed by how amazing the world is.

But they made some weird design choices that flat-out make the game less fun. Realism to the point of tedium is present in some places.

Have to agree.

I played Chrono Cross first b4 Trigger, so that was probably why I feel like I do. Cross is just about the perfect JRPG IMO.
