My age is irrelevant, check out these games. Do you agree or disagree?
I have some specific opinions about some of these games I want to cover. I want to preface that these can be a bit harsh, and I do apologise in advance. I do not expect this to be popular, I am not rage baiting you.
I think Skyrim, Oblivion, Morrowind, Fallout 3, and 76 are all overrated. I chose Morrowind above them all, however, as I feel that game gets so much high praise and yet, when I have played that game, it is by no means really that different from the rest. It is an ultimately linear-ending game that does just about as much as the rest. The choices in between mean nothing when the ending is the same. The other games, at least, let you know from the get go that your choices don't matter, Morrowind just says "The game was rigged from the start" once you meet Dagoth Ur.
As much as I can say Fallout is the best retro game that comes to mind, I have to say that it is really shoddy. It could use a lot of fixes and is not really amazing all that speaking, technically. I would have instead put Baldur's Gate, but it is the beginning of a custom world that it managed to push out into being one of the most popular of Bethesda's to date, which puts it above imo. That said, it feel likes it really went down and down from there, as the setting and premise of it was just totally lost because Emil and Todd saw apocalypse game and thought "Oh! Like Mad Max!" and then never thought a thought ever again.
I love Minecraft, but that game has just become boring to me. It's not that the game is boring, it's just that on it's own it's kind of run it's course for me. All that there's for me is nostalgia, and while that can be fun, it only ruins what I could get from it because I will only be looking back to the fun I used to have playing. The only time I can enjoy it is when friends are with me, or if I've got some youtuber who's doing weird stuff on there.
GTA5, as Lester suggested, has its population's brains melted by the sun. It is a mediocre story, and the metaphorical meaning by it all, even though I understand it, is not one I feel was conveyed well. That's GTA though, I guess, save for GTA4 which changed the routine and went extremely dark and well into what it meant and showed that in a way which was extremely compelling.
I get why we dislike Dragon Age 2, and I can understand it, and can even say that it's deserved to some extent. I cannot say that it deserves to go on the death pile, however. For as much as it fails to uphold the unique character origins that Origins presented, it is still a really good story and tries its utmost to present something that is really compelling to be a part of. It also continues Dragon Age's fame of having diverse choices that distinguishes who the protagonist is. This continues throughout the series... there is no Dragon Age The Veilguard... Dragon Age The Veilguard does not exist... there has never been a Dragon Age The Veilguard... Nor ever shall there be.
