Dark Souls games are only hard cause the enemies are way over leveled. Bring the down enemies down to your level and the game is easy as fuck.
(Beat almost every Soul game including Bloodborne)

I still believe Sonic can pull off a good game in the series. C'MON! HATE ME EVERYONE!

But in all seriousness, I understand why Sonic's history over the past few years have made people lost hope on the franchise, but I guess I can understand why these failed games had issues (Unleashed trying something new with the Night Mode mechanic, Boom were forced to make an incompatible engine work on the Wii U, etc.). But I still think that there'll be a good Sonic game soon enough, hopefully the next one. If they can stay true to what the fans love in a Sonic game (Generations being a really good example), then I still have a bit of hope left.

Despite controls wonkier than its successors, I still like Uncharted: Drake's Fortune the best out of all four in the series. Five if you know Golden Abyss exists.

-Shenmue II wasn't as good as the first game
-Haze isn't nearly as bad as everyone thinks
-Fable's sequels all sucked
-PSvita is one of the best handhelds this gen untapped potential
-Devil may cry is pointless and trash compared to NG, Beyo MGR etc
-Soul caliber V is one of the most balanced fighting games ever
-Sega should make a dreamcast 2

mario 64 for the ds having shit controls?
this is called "unpopular opinions" not "facts that are rarely said"

anyway. heres a very unpopular opinion:
any game with turns sucks! (specially RPG) they are a outdated concept.
in the early days the consoles didn't have the capabilities that today's consoles got..
so if you wanted a game about fighting monsters they had to do it calculator style...
thus rpg was born, there is your character on the left, and the enemy on the right, because limitations in giving real action they come up with stats, turns and "pretending fight" so you could have an advanced game
today you can actually have a fully animated dragon with realistic AI.. if i wanted to play an rpg, i could get a piece of paper and a calculator and pretend to kill monsters just like the old days

Actually they are a throwback to pen and paper. I think there would have been enough power on the old systems to handle real-time combat with limited numbers of enemies (look at Gauntlet for instance) but they chose to go the traditional route. In the early 80s there actually were action RPGs on systems with <2 MHz (Z80s).

Yes, the Vita is totally unfairly ragged on. It is a great system. It does lack games in certain genres (*cough* proper GTA) but it has amazing potential. What people seem to care about most is that it isn't wide open like the PSP. Had there been no PSP then it probably wouldn't have been considered a "failure" by many.

The Dreamcast had some great games and it got killed off way too soon... DAMMIT SONY! It would have been SEGA's greatest system ever! I love the arcade fishing games and Dynamite Cop especially.

    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    "OK Cortana I want that mountain a little taller and more snow on top, and I would like some random ancient pine forest around the bottom"
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    "Now we need a spring fed river flowing down the north side and add some wild life appropriate for the biome"
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
