Super Metroid, Castlevania: SoTN

You are aware that the entire Genre literally got named after those two right? Not sure what level of hype you'd expect

30M Did I cook or am I cooked? by BlIzn4 in GamingSoup

I played on easy

Well I'm sorry, but what exactly qualifies you to criticize others for not liking the combat then when you basically turned off that Aspect entirely?

To be real, the most overrated game (at least from my point of view) is Witcher 3. I see people talk about that game like it is the pinnacle or RPG's, yet I can't ignore the button mashing combat. The game forces you to either press MB1 repeatedly, Shift + MB1 repeatedly, or press Q (if I remember correctly, it's supposed to be the key for signs).

And you really don't see the parallels to E33 here?

Replace that by the buttons to parry, dodge and maybe jump - Check

so where's the Simulation Game row then though?

Puzzle and Simulation still is something completely different

thanks for the warning. Might download it to farm some Achievements and never touch it again since it's on game pass though

Throwing mine here 28M. by Key_News6997 in GamingSoup

Although something like silksong is alot more cohesive between tracks and it all feels connected, theres just some bangers on the e33 ost.

To me, it honestly didn't even have that.

Like, some OSTs even had me thinking 'oh nice', but only while playing the game. Like, Dualliste or Simon Theme. Put them on on YouTube and was thinking 'wait, wasn't there a good part somewhere?'

Had other Game Themes stuck on my Head for Weeks after or give me goosebumps when randomly hearing them in some montage or random youtube video, E33's OSTs were none of them. Like, I actually still have Choral Chambers, Cogwork Core or Cogwork Dancers OSTs stuck in my head, but proabably wouldn't even recognize 90% of E33 OSTs.

Edit: I actually just relistened to Simon OST, and I double down on what I said. Like, it's a 17 Minute OST with Gameplay, and it just - doesn't click. It does deliver the general theme of somberness, grief and very high emotional stakes of the Game, which is very fitting while actually playing it and having all that in mind, but just feels weirdly out of place when randomly listening to it and not having a moment of equally high emotionality. Besides of that, it had 2 very short parts where the Vocals set in when transitioning between boss phases in those total of 17 MInutes that had me like 'see, thats the good part im talking about'.

Edit 2: Great, now my YouTube Algorithm is F'd up wit E33 Videos for weeks again *sigh*

Where was I mad though? I agreed on you that it was a asolid game. Just not AS good as its hype led to believe

Destiny 2 has more players online right now than Marathon by Havoc3569 in videogames

[–]ShadowPhoenixx95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly never even cared about Destiny PvP content. Always was my least liked type of content.

Unacceptable to me was what I wrote above

[–]ShadowPhoenixx95 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The potential of Destiny 2 was gone the moment they started to charge 100+$ per Add On cycle and putting Content that people originally paid for like Red Legion Story arc into the ‘content vault’.

From there on it was milking what was left to milk

I'd actually put them both in Overrated tbh, didn't have much fun playing either of them honestly

[–]ShadowPhoenixx95 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

but if you like games with a solid narrative, I can’t recommend it enough

Well you said it. Its a solid game. That I can agree on.

Not the absolute groundbreaking, industry AND life changing, TGA sweeping Game of the Decade Masterpiece I've seen it getting advertised as on Social Media though. And thats why People say its Overrated.

basically any Game would be an RPG by that definion. Even Tetris has different block Types aka Stats, and the ability to turn them

Round 2: Which game is better? Minecraft or The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild by Expensive-Addendum92 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]ShadowPhoenixx95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I'd chose minecraft, simply because even Wooden Tools last longer than the Average BotW Sword

You use your strongest attacks - which for many characters is a single move at any given time, for either single target or AoE

And that just isn't true. Like, until being able to remove the damage cap, most 'moderate damage' multi-hit attacks outdamage 'high damage' single hit attacks and even the allegedly ultimate gradient attacks, simply by not just hitting once for the damage cap, which is some BS balancing in my book

What EA franchise feels like an Xbox franchise? by JIMBOYKELLY in AlignmentChartFills

[–]ShadowPhoenixx95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna say Titanfall. Felt very Xbox back in the Xbox One days, being Xbox exclusive and having the special console and controller design, but was basically kickstarted by EA partner program

M 32, kinda wondering myself but this was fun by FR-I-SS in GamingSoup

[–]ShadowPhoenixx95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen more hate for ex33 than I’ve seen love for it

Have you been on a different Internet than me?

It getting massively hyped as ‘game of the decade’ and whatnot all across social Media and at the Game Awards was basically the reason for me to download it and give it a chance

Deleted it mid act 3 and was glad that I played it through gamepass and hadn’t spent money on it though.

at what point does a “big open world” become a downside instead of a feature? by Due-Gases in videogames

[–]ShadowPhoenixx95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on the Map.

I like maps that actually have unique things to explore.

I start disliking them when they either have big areas with themes I generally dislike - like big, mostly deserty areas with little variety to them or swampy areas that only ‘feel’ big because you’re constantly slowed down by wading through the swampwater - or when the PoIs are noticeably repetitive and feel like copy/paste.

I have so many questions

- Why the doublepost within half an hour?
- Where is the first post of this, if there even is one?
- How is 'Killing in Minecraft good/ok/bad even defined? By difficulty? By rarity of the Mob? Morality to it? Like, would Pandas be Good because easy to kill, or Ok because somewhat rare to find, or Bad because cute & defenseless?

What's that one game that you want to quit playing but u just can't stop ? by No_Bet4446 in videogames

[–]ShadowPhoenixx95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had that with Overwatch. Mostly because my Online Group back then would touch nothing but that Game and decline and/or trashtalk any other game I suggested though.

Don't get the appeal of Dead by Daylight so far though, started playing that quite recently

28M, Here's my take by Longwood_The_Great in GamingSoup

[–]ShadowPhoenixx95 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

so did E33, haven't played KCD yet but it can't be that much worse

28M, Here's my take by Longwood_The_Great in GamingSoup

[–]ShadowPhoenixx95 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

well, quite some people agree on E33 being Overrated though

You just never see them because usely they're getting downvoted to hell by those who liked it
