Moe is wonderful.
Moe is their leader!
-Telltale's Walking Dead is better than the TLOU in almost every way. It has better characters, better storytelling, and I'd argue that the game play is better because it is not as frustrating as TLOU.
-The new Pokemon are crap and why I hate Pokemon now. They should have stuck with the original 150.
-Halo is the best game series of the last 10 years. No other game comes close when you combine campaign, characters, gameplay, story, ai, multiplayer, lore, music, sound effects, map editing, graphics, etc .

*sigh* I don't wanna say you're killing everything I love, but...dude. You're killing everything I love. Moe and all the weird fetishizing Japan's been doing since...honestly since Chobits, or so...has slowly been killing anime and J-RPGs alike. Don't be that guy. Why would you be that guy? You're better than that.

Well, that makes me sad. We have completely opposite interests.
Moe is what makes me happy.

I actually agree with this, even though it's my favorite genre.
Aside from the WW comment, that's not really a controversial opinion. Majora is the best one.

Oh, and by the way, you can have moe without characters being sexualized.
And I don't really think that moe is new. There have been moe characters in video games and anime for a long time.
Carle from Seiken Densetsu 3 is moe.
Lip from Panel de Pon is moe.
I've been into moe and cuteness ever since I was a small child. It's sad that what makes me happy deep down makes some other people unhappy.

I'm picky when it comes to cuteness. The way I put it is there is "cutesy" which is trying to be cute, successful or not, and then only the successful side is cute. I do like cute things, but only ACUTALLY cute, and of course it's entirely subjective, and there are probably principles to my tastes I can't discern.

"Just want to see story"; read "can't play for shit"
Here's my recent one: almost every reason for that statement usually due to a gameplay reason, too.

Megaman 9 and 10? They are basically Nostalgia Bait. They look like any other Mega Man game on the Nes and there were like 6 Nes games. that is unacceptable and it shows that Capcom was/is unwilling to make strides to make Mega Man appeal to more than people who grew up with the Nes. Is they tried something ala Powered up, i'd take them more seriously.
Also i can play Playstation and N64 games just fine. I don't see why or how the playstation and N64 game graphics are "painful to look at" The 5th and 6th gen are the best gens.
Pokemon Emerald is the best Pokemon game released.

Come on how could you say that, even in a thread like this....

People who fancy themselves as "indie gamers" are unbearable. Great you don't like to play games with guns so you are better than us.
AAA games are blah, blah, blah, glad there are indie games blah blah...
If you don't like big dumb AAA shooters good for you. There are more indie games released than AAA shooters every year why don't you just be happy. You can quietly believe you are more intelligent or something for playing nothing but indie games but I rather not listen to you.

Objectively.... your pretty right. Movies and books have for done storing telling a quite a while so its pretty hard to to do bad compared to them. But Half-Life, Portal and few other games have done storying telling very well with the nature of how good games can do it. But most games fall flat compared to even Hollywood's level of shit.

Oh my God! I'm not alone! Maybe I am part of the human race after all!
For all the Hype the Playstation 4 has had so far, it's library of games isn't all that great. heck, i think it is probably worse than the Wii U right now. At least the Wii U has good solid first party games. Only thing worth getting from it's exclusives so far is probably Second Son.

I really hate the military-esque competitive FPS i.e call of duty, Titanfall, battlefield.
I think they are detrimental to the gaming industry.
I think they are detrimental to the gaming industry.
and to add icing to the cake, most people who exclusively only play these types of games, I don't consider real gamers.
I just want to start saying that there's no small character pool, no character is banned in either Brawl, Melee or 64. This really speaks tons of how much you know about competitive Smash (and it's not like Super Turbo is not a real fighter for banning Akuma or soft banning Sagat, right?). Second, why on earth would there be in-game item and stage switches if NOT for using them? This "the only way to play Smash (as someone who doesn't even know a lot about it) is the way I play it" attitude is so dumb when presented by both sides.

Sony 1st party is usually better than average, but definitely not close to being great or special.

Where did I say any characters are banned? I said small character pool as in the 'pros' generally use the same 4 characters though I fully admit there are exceptions.
In ambition and scope of what you can do ... NO. In that works mostly (on Consoles PC gamers will tell you and rightly so its shit over here) and no release not working BS.... yeah... can't argue.

All Halo games suck and I could care less if Bungie ports Destiny to PC. The Gears series is almost as bad.
That happens with tons of fighters (usually when the game is not very well balanced). It's not a Smash thing (especially not in SSB64 which is a pretty well balanced game).

I enjoy military-esque competitive FPS i.e. Call of Duty, Titanfall, Battlefield. I also get Madden every year.
I also enjoy many other games, for instance I'm logging tons of hours into FFXIV right now and enjoying it a lot.
I think that while some people think "Bro Gamers" (which I guess I'm a part of) are killing gaming, I actually believe we're one of the main reasons why the gaming industry is growing and why it's become so mainstream and accepted.
Please let's not be dismissive to any segments within our shared hobby and let's celebrate the fact that we have options!

Sony's first party is the best in the industry in quality and quantity.
Open-world >>> hub based >>> linear.
Would love to more devs go open-world with their games.
Ubisoft does open-better than any other dev right now.
Resistance 3 and Farcry 3 are the best singe player fps since Half-Life 2 but for different reasons. Resistance 3 for its campaign and Farcry 3 for the use of stealth in an open-world.
60fps vs locked 30fps doesnt make a game significantly better. In my eyes image quality, especially anti-aliasing is much more important than framerate.

Then why is their output mostly mediocre games with a few gems here and there?

Players demanding immersion, as a catch it all for being too afraid to say "I hate this because of ....." The fact that you use an input stick means they will never be immersion.
Sony makes the best new Ip, ninty just repackaged their old games and sprinkle some magic cracked on them and Microsoft just gives up.
Except that you are only making that up.

I can get behind this.
I feel that both Microsoft's and Nintendo's first party games (especially Nintendo's) are way more consistently great games than Sony's.
This is really taste-dependent.
Sony has clearly drank the oh so cinematic Kool-Aid recently, and the exceptions (LBP, MNR, PSASBR, Knack) are pretty weak IMO. I can seen why people would love stuff like Infamous, TLOU, Uncharted, etc. - but that's basically the kind of games I don't play on any system. And it's no wonder the people who approach games like movies would think it's outrageous that Nintendo can keep using their old IPs, lol.

Sony's new IPs from last gen consistently have had amazing presentation but horribly, horribly boring gameplay. I feel though some people are willing to overlook anything if the game is pretty enough.
Rm88 said it much better.

Considering Microsoft doesn't make many games vs sony making a lot, what you said is technically true. Sony just has more variety.
Ninty games are good but they don't deviate from what they have been making since the 90s.

I hate most pixel art and find most 2D platformers boring.
I think Watch Dogs is a boring and bland game, the UI is terrible (seriously every 30 seconds something was popping up on my screen), side missions were mostly AR games or mini-games (the fuck). I gave it three missions or so in Act I before trading it in towards an XB1 play and charge kit for my PC.

Despite a very promising first start for a new ip, Watch Dogs is not in the same class as GTA V, that series and Rockstar do it better than any other developer. In my opinion the only game which comes close is Sleeping Dogs.
Mirrors Edge was one of the best new ip of last generation. Many of my friends can't stand it but I found it different, the art style and soundtrack gorgeous especially. Delighted a new game is coming.
The buzz around Halo for E3 does nothing for me, boring series in my opinion. I like MS' exclusive stuff like Gears, Forza Horizon and Alan Wake but I just can't take to Halo after numerous attempts.

The Last of Us bored me.
Final Fantasy XII is top five in the series.
The Metal Gear Solid series sucks.
The Dual Shock 3 is damn near unusable.
Oblivion is better than Skyrim.
I'll probably have more later.
