Underrated and Overrated Video Games

Oh man Valkyrie Profile was fun, I think it's on mobile now, too. Second one was fun, shame they didn't continue with it though I think there's a mobile game coming out for it.

@Hero

I still have my saved file from when I originally played it in the 2000s on my PS2. I might buy the second one again to relive that shit.

@Dynamo Frokane

isnt the whole point of defending a game being that you dislike the other side criticising it? i know i sure wouldnt defend something that i was fine with people critiquing.

@Mara

You respond to critique of a game with defense of a game. Not by accusing people of ad-homenims and 'blowing things out of proportion' because you've heard an opinion about a game you don't like.

Me pointing out the fact that Gowi wants to be a mod isn't an ad-hominem either. A lot of this boils down to dishing out what you cant take.

@Superboy

Some might say after 2.

@Inkarnate

And some people might be wrong.

I think I clocked in like two or three hundred hours into Bafflefield 3 when I was a younggen. I didn’t have money to buy more than one video game, so I just sat on BF3 on my shitty internet connection.

I literally had to drag my modem into my bedroom so that I could get it to at least run.

@Superboy

BF3 was a big disappointment for me, but yeah I'll give you that it was at least in the spirit of the preceding games and a little bit of fun.

@Inkarnate

I can see how it would be. BF3 was around the time I really remember the series taking a turn away from grittier, more teamwork oriented gameplay to being scuffed Call of Duty with vehicles. They started marketing their games based on trick shot montages and level destruction events...which don’t feel at all like Battlefield should.

@Superboy

I don't mind the level destruction, but yeah they really did gut the mechanics and start minimizing the classes. The days of playing Commander were over by the time BF3 came out and the tactical "meta" so to speak entirely changed. The newer games run "smoother" and they look pretty, I guess, but they really don't have the teeth to be considered a pure Battlefield experience.

@Inkarnate

One of my favorite parts of playing a Bafflefield game was that feeling of combined arms combat. Infantry running alongside armor, getting air support from jets and helicopters? Super dope. The squad gameplay was great, too, because it felt like I was actually contributing something. Like we actually needed four people of each class for the whole to be effective.

And now it's a giant deathmatch game where the classes don't matter and it's all about running and gunning.

Don't get me wrong: Call of Duty's a great series too, and one of the most successful for a reason. But Battlefield never was- and never should be- Call of Duty.

@Dynamo Frokane

Can you stop trying to troll people by constantly repeating an often false statement. I've been getting DM's about it, please try not to do that.

@Superboy

Call of Duty has been ripping off Medal of Honor for a long time and doing well. Battlefield has always run opposite to that style... but I guess the "EA ruins everything" meme is what it is. Closest thing to Battlefield 2 nowadays is Rising Storm and ARMA, unfortunately.

@Inkarnate

They ripped off Medal of Honor so hard that I wouldn't be surprised if it came full circle and Medal of Honor was accused of trying to be Call of Duty in the distant future.

My hope is that after Battefield 5, Dice decides to try and take things back to formula. I have no idea what the chances are they do- my gut says they're pretty low- but I'd be super stoked to see an OG, historical Battlefield title that emphasizes squad and combined arms gameplay.

Eight years ago at that.

I forget how old everything and everyone is sometimes.

Time is fuckin' crazy.

[mickilennial]

I would love Medal of Honor to make a proper comeback but with the state of shooters right now I really don't see it happening.

@POOHEAD189

Is it actually false though? If it is then I apologise but I never once heard him say anything to the contrary.
