sure

1. shadow the hedgehog is one of the more fun games i played and it had a lot of amazing ideas that were executed poorly

the irony poisoning and the insistent rejection of anything genuine created a zeitgeist where you're shamed for liking characters like shadow and fuck that

2. metal gear solid 4 was an amazing final love letter to metal gear as a whole, it was corny and cheesy but it had heart and love poured into it and amazing gameplay to boot

3. I don't think metal gear solid V has good gameplay, i am very biased against that game but i also played it for months and 93%'d it, i think almost everything in it is shallow and exploitable including the gameplay on all aspects, no challenge, no depth, nothing

4. undertale had a great fandom for most of it's lifetime, people tried their hardest to shame it, cringe culture it and look at the worst part of it's fandom that was just made up people who were simply enjoying the game

cringe culture is dead, miss me with that shit

5. reddit, r/gaming and gaming culture is one of the worst things to ever happen to video games and it's fans

6. fallout new vegas feels extremely dated that i ended up dropping it, it has captivated me but it's really hard to trog through it when everything feels so dated

7. fallout 4 is a very bad fallout game that misses the point of the entire series, however it's a very fun survival game with a lot of depth to it's gameplay and mechanics

8. fallout 76 is good now, it had the worst launches and first year to ever exist in video games but it's good now!

9. devil may cry v, is my most favorite DMC and my 2nd most favorite game of all time, but it's got a very long way to go before it can be the perfect action game most of it's fans claim it is, and capcom really should aim to make the game as good as it's community edition

10. fire emblem fates conquest is one of the best srpgs you can ever play, it has one of the best map designs/gameplay balancing of any srpgs out there, and the game gets way too much for it's story when in reality it also has really good characters

it deserves better overall

11. persona fans aren't nearly as bad as people make them out to be for clout, especially the whole "persona fans never played persona xDDD" thing is only true like 5% of the time but taking those specific instances and turning them into memes did the community a lot of injustice

12. league of legends is as well balanced for a game that gets updated biweekly on community's whims as it can be, a lot of wack shit happens but it's still enjoyable overall, it's popular to hate outside normies but i recommend people to give it a try as frustrating as it can be

13. it is true that fandoms/people/personal experiences can ruin gaming media or any media for you, and you're not weak for admitting that, no one can consume anything in a pure vacuum, anyone pretending to do so isn't aware that they're giving into their personal biases

14. blazblue cross tag battle is a very good fighting game and it'd dlc plan was just communicated badly

however it should not have had blazblue in it's title and only does so because marketing, it is not a blazblue game, it's just a good fighting game team blue developed

15. Fandom misinterpretations of characters at best can be ignorant and at worst heavily damaging to the character, other characters and the product as a whole. Headcanons are fine but you shouldnt ever pretend they are what the authors intended and always respect author's wishes

16. Hideaki Kamiya makes amazing games but he's genuinely not a good person, "haha funny man go block" is ok but please consider that he acts like an asshole nonstop and imagine how it would go if a western game developer started blocking every japanese fan that talked to them

17. Mortal Kombat X wasn't a very mortal kombat game and didn't have a lot of direction to it. It tried to be pseudo anime fast, was still clunky and had anime combos with very weak neutral that wasn't what mortal kombat was ever supposed to be. MK11 is a much better game
