Blizzard died with Cataclysm.
Game design is not a democracy and that is a good thing.

Occasional WoW Classic Andy since.
Nothing lasts forever, as they say.
But at least I can casually play Classic and remember when MMORPGs were good.
Picking four completely different games is... a strategy when arguing all single players are the same. I wouldn't say it's a particularly effective one.
The correct one in this case. The others are pure sin.
I must say, I didn't even remember that one. So that means CTR's superiority is even greater than I gave it credit for.

I don't like Witcher 3. Tried it twice, played 8-9 hours each time, but I just don't care about the characters at all. This game is not for me.
Legion was absolute garbage and WoD was much better. WoD being abandoned meant Legion got much worse due to major changes to gameplay and general design. Also, Cata is one of the best expansions and MoP was boring. Shadowlands will prob suck big time, but not due to imbalanced specs. The design of WoW post-WoD means it will probably never be good again.
Skyrim is trash compared to Oblivion and is okay at best.
Banjo Tooie is much better than Kazooie
GTA games aren't good or fun
Zelda 2 is the best game on the NES and is probably the best 2D Zelda. Majora's Mask is pretty overrated. Not bad though.
Last good Mario game was Galaxy 2
Hearthstone is garbage
Never liked Mass Effect enough to bother playing the sequels, same with Dragon Age: Origins.
The Mario RPG games (SMRPG, Paper Mario 1 & 2) are much better than the regular Mario "platformer" games. Shame they refuse to do more.
Totally agree. I made it like 2 hours in and requested a refund. I don’t feel like I should have to play a game that long with it just being boring. People were like oh you gotta get like 10 hours in. Sorry that’s just bad
For me it was Divinty Original Sin. By all accounts I should like this game but I’ve tried it a couple times and it just feels clunky and slow. Couldn’t get more than an hour in without being bored.
OMG, Ocarina of Time only came out like 5 years ago... what do you mean 22 years... damn kids get off my lawn... and play some real games like Link to the Past (the best Zelda game ever).
Pandering in any context is bad... not sure if that's unpopular or not.
ME:A deserved a sequel to at least see if it could build upon the great potential world building they were forming by the end of the first one.
I don't think Blizzard is a good video game company at this point. I wouldn't call them bad either, about in the middle if I were to rate all companies. I would go as far as to call them Godlike when we were in 1995-2008, this is where they were a shiny example of how a video game company should be handling their games. Back then they had their ''its done when its done'' motto and not ''lets just rush it out for some shinier quarterly reports'' which is what happened to games like WC3:R and it will happen to Shadowlands. The developers seemed way more passionate about their games, they were nerds making games for other nerds and gave them exactly what they wanted. They never even made a bad game because all of their projects which didn't meet their standards got axed quickly. And if they wanted to polish their games more like redoing WC3 and delaying TBC they did so to make them better.
It all went downhill when they merged with Activision. Their games declined in quality but they were still decent at least. It went really bad when J. Allen Brack took over as president and this is where Blizzard really started to go off the rails. So many controversies, milking their current playerbases shamelessly, ruining and abandoning their franchises, shoving down SJW agendas, barely any new games to look forward to with only Shadowlands in more than a month. Even Shadowlands seems like the smallest expansions we've gotten yet. Starcraft is abandoned, Diablo is on life support, HotS is close to dead, Hearthstone is in a huge decline (doesn't help that so many of their streamers are moving on), not sure what to say about Overwatch as I don't keep track of it. The one good thing they released under Bracks command is WoW: Classic which does have a few issues but it ended up being good enough to be a huge succes.
WoD was the best WoW expansion thematically and class design wise.
I hate anime graphics and won't play any game that has that.
Indie retro games that don't even try to innovate and use 2d 16 bit graphics are trash.
I like turtles
