GBAtemp and AAA games...

[tatripp]

Pfffffffffffffffffffft

Confirmed for never actually playing any FPS games.

And no, "I tried CoD/Battlefield once and didn't care for it!" does not count.

I may be mistaking the quality of the game for my skill. Anyways, they are just too repetitive and mindless except for Goldeneye 64

OOOps I accidentally double posted. my pc was being weird.

Oh, the irony...

That's not what soulx meant, or at least not what I think he meant. GBATemp has a trend going on - people tend to judge games not by their quality which should be the only aspect used for such gradation, but by their genre, company which made them or country of origin which is entirely subjective, not to mention opinionated. Others use an even worse gradation tool - popularity or budget.

Claiming that a game is "better" than a triple-A western game because it's "Japanese", because it's "a JRPG", because it's "not mainstream" or because it's "Indie" is ridiculous, none of those things make a game "good". There are terrible Japanese games out there, there are terrible JRPG's out there, there are terrible "Hipster" games out there, there are terrible Indie games out there and there are bad triple-A western games but some people fail to acknowledge that, judging games using not their actual qualities but some make-belief value stemming from their origin instead.

Ah I getcha. Posted that pretty much right after waking up. Guess I missed the point. Though I half doubt that's exactly what he meant, given its soulx the level 40 trollmaster.
Still too lazy to type up my own opinion but I really haven't seen much of a problem with the GBAtemp general opinion. Perhaps because i'm an eastern gamer primarily and not a western one (and yet i'm a PC gamer...go figure).

By today's standards, Goldeneye 64 is a terrible game. I loved it as a kid, but let's not joke around, its controls are shit and the biggest novelty back then was the full 3D world (and the Michael Bay syndrome I guess).

IMO a shitload of people on GBAtemp are just really stupid.

That's awesome, dude. But don't expect me to add anything to those threads; neither of them are my thing. The only thing I can really think of is that Nintendo is still extremely popular in these forums. People everywhere else cover the Playstation/Xbox news; we get Nintendo. But of course there are Playstation/Xbox articles on here too...

This is a GBA forum, and GBA JRPG > GBA FPS, so of course people here like the JRPG genre more than the FPS genre. Duh, isn't it obvious?

EDIT: I thought this didn't need a sarcasm tag.

This was a GBA forum back when the GBA was a relevant system - right now it's a general gaming forum with a strong inclination* towards Nintendo. Even if it was a GBA forum though, a lot of the most memorable GBA games for me were FPS'es - "Doom 2", "Ecks vs Sever", "Duke Nukem Advance", "Serious Sam Advance", "Dark Arena" - I could go on and on, really. Sure, there was a lot of JRPG's out there for the system, but there was quite a few good shooters for it too.

*Bias.

You can have a two-billion page thread for Pokemon 69 but barely anything for games like the Last of Us.

Technically, Pokemon is an AAA title. The problem with the Temp is just that we're all horribly biased.

You're pushing your luck, Tom.

 

[ShadowSoldier]

Simple solution. Don't take anybody on this site seriously. If you want a good laugh like the Sunday Funnies and want to laugh at how stupid people are, GBAtemp is the number one place to go to on the internet.

On that note, was kind of surprised to find out X/Y has a dev-team of 200+ people.

What are they doing, farting into their chairs 24/7?

Now, don't get me wrong - X & Y made huge strides towards the betterment of the series and it is a huge improvement over what was served on the DS. It'd even go as far as calling it graphically impressive... if it was a PSP game released 6 years ago.

I hope you know that not all JRPGs are like Final Bullshit XIII right?

And not all FPSes are like Call of Duty/Battlefield/Whatever

It's not trolling if it's true.

*although to be completely honest, i'm still probably going to buy x/y eventually.

IIRC a lot of the team was for global localization to get it released all on the same day.

If you've been on GBAtemp for longer than a week, you've probably noticed this.

"Dudebros and their Call of Booties and Battlefields ruining games for the rest of us"
"A new Call of Duty is coming out, lol it's all the same."
"Lame Theft Auto made $1 billion in profit? WHY HAVE THE GAMING GODS FORSAKEN US"
"All those cutscenes in Uncharted, IT'S PRACTICALLY A MOVIE!"

You can have a two-billion page thread for Pokemon 69 but barely anything for games like the Last of Us.

Guys, generic JRPG #2345 isn't any better than Call of Duty #763. Yes, you can have both good gameplay and graphics. Cutscenes don't mark the ruin of videogames.

And I'd much rather play a game with this



instead of this

Strangely reminds me of /v/. For all the 4chan bitching I've read, in the end, many people here aren't that different.

/v/ is a lot worse than GBATemp and this thread is stupid

You're just envious of Pokémon's popularity.

Yup, if this was solely a GBA forum, it'd be dead.

I've posted about this a few times, the fact that on GBAtemp 100 people are interested in certain games (mostly Pokemon), games that I do not care about that much. And then only 1 person is interested in games I really like (LoL, Battlefield 3, PC games).
Mainstream games like TLoU also get demolished here, like emigre very easily pointed out.

This is for me the biggest con on GBAtemp, I want to talk about games so much, but I can't on my favourite forum. I'm basically forced to go on other forums, very sad.
