What is the most pretentious game you've ever played?

It's one autistic guy spamming.

Game is an awesome masterpiece and no contest hands down the best metroidvania of the entire generation so obviously Yas Forums hates it. That's all.

Based schizo.

You really underestimate the autistic reposters on Yas Forums.
Obviously not every single Hollow Knight thread ever made is by one guy, but these really lazy one line "Y IS HOLLOW KNIGHT SHIT?" threads are by one guy.

This pretty much sums it up. It has dethroned muh classic nippon masterpieces and contrarian Yas Forums weebs hate it.

Darkest Dungeon. It's so up it's ass in trying to make a hard game that the mechanics are contrived and unimmersive.
You can get past those faults, and there's a lot to enjoy beneath it

it's definitely Spec Ops, way more so than MGS or whatever

Nier automata. Story is nothing special but the fans treat it like it's some evangelion type shit.

Honestly, it seems like there's just one weirdly dedicated user who yells about it being reddit, and calls you a schizo if you call him out. I've noticed quite a few "why is this the best metroidvania" Hollow Knight threads as well (I swear I saw two just last night) so maybe that's the same one.
There was a pretty good thread the other day where the thread was completely fine, no mention of reddit or anything, so I'd imagine he was asleep at the time.

what is it about indie games that trigger the absolute fuck out of Yas Forums?

This.

So we all agree that it's probably just one autist posting all the hollow knight hate threads, right?

Talos principle for sure

A popular indie game is to Yas Forums as revoking gun rights is to rural Americans

I know it's cliche but it's honestly jealousy. Nobody's really jealous of AAA because it's an unrealistic ambition but making an indie game is something anyone could technically do provided they had the discipline to actually put the work in, which the average Yas Forumstard doesn't so they just piss and moan over the people who do.

When you browse this shithole regularly you start to notice that certain threads are posted by the same person. Take pic related for example, or the faggot that spent an entire month making the "I want to buy Blasphemous but I don't want to support anti-christian devs" threads.

As someone who gets a kick out of David Cage games, it'd have to be a David Cage game. Not sure which.

Either Beyond Two Souls, because you can tell it's trying to tell this heartbreaking story throughout the ages in a completely out-of-order format to be more artsy, but it just ends up skipping over the moments that would actually let you understand everything or care about the protagonist's growing relationships.

Or Detroit. Which is probably Cage's best game, but still trying super hard to make a blunt satire about social issues with all the subtly of a brick.

Cage games end up being so pretentious that they paradoxically become genuine.

these too. Not to pat him on the back, but if the faggot user who posts this thread every week is reading this, imagine if your parents knew you did this shit

Without parroting Nerrel, explain how it's pretentious.

>Phoneposter

I have a weird soft spot for what a dumpster fire Omikron is, because you can tell that for the time it was made it was a hugely ambitious project that collapsed under the weight of all the different genres it was trying to support at once.

The played completely straight, "This is not actually a game, you are a player magically accessing our world and controlling my body" shtick from the intro still makes me giggle though. Because it's delivered with so much set-up and gravitas by a character that ends up completely disposable in terms of narrative and mechanics.

Fucking christ no pun intended and retards took his bait too. I hate this board.

Yas Forums is inarguably the best place to discuss vidya.

Metroidvania is older than Reddit and older than you. It's a clean and compact term and if you want to replace it you have to propose something better and not just bitch.

does all that justify having this game live in your head rent free?

keep crying, computerfags. Posting from my iPhone is more convenient and comfortable than whatever you retards are doing

You need to explain how of those points makes the game pretentious, nigger. I know you won't because you're nothing but a high schooler.

I actually bought dear esther

I see you fags still havent stopped seething about Nerrel's review lel

Dear Esther was a fucking scam.

Yas Forums collectively blew Nerrel the fuck out and showed that he's nothing but a casual that contradicts himself very easily. It's a wonder how he's made some good vids. then shat the bed after making that apologist vid. on TLJ.

Oh wait, on Yas Forums it actually is

Definitely The Witness. I could almost have appreciated it except many puzzles were poorly designed. Talos Principle was 100x better.

YIIK

It was like, $1 IIRC. I don't think people said it was anything other than a walking sim for Source engine when it came out.

Dark Souls

>>Curling up into fetal position and tearfully screaming "git gud!" ad nauseaum is btfo'ing someone

Surprisingly not the case this time around if you were here weeks ago.

I never understood what people don't like about this. Out of anything in the game it is the most charming. If Deadly Premonition did this y'all would have loved it.

>"Y IS HOLLOW KNIGHT SHIT?" threads are by one gu
I normally wouldn'y believe it but mosnter hunter, Kingdom Hearts, DMC, and resident evil have all been confirmed by mods to be a single guy shitposting. Makes you wonder how long this sort of thing has been going on.

Came in here to post exactly this. Its the most barebones sci-fi level stuff that isn't interesting if you already understand the concept. That an anime is gay lol

I legit tear up every time I hear the vocals

Lay off the söy, lad.

I only know him as the retard who made a video that he and fellow shills claimed to prove that The Last Jedi was a masterpiece. I started watching and not a minute it he started ranting about how evil George Lucas is and how awful the prequels are. So the same shit sequelfags always do to distract from how godawful those movies are.

what were his opinions on HK?

Didn't watch the vid, but I think he complained how hard Deepnest was and how the game just basically threw you in it. Read it on the last thread
Which is a shit reason, as Quirrel specifically tells you of the Nail Smith and advises you to upgrade

I'm someone who fell into deepnest on my first playthrough, and I didn't upgrade my nail until after venturing into the beehive, the coliseum, and beating soul master, in that order. I still loved the shit out of the game.

Bastion.

Deepnest does kind of suck but it's very intentional. All but one path leading in is designed so that you'll fall down a hole and get stuck for a while and feel scared and vulnerable. It's definitely memorable.

TLJ is a masterpiece, though.

Fucking hell, you absolute madlad

Zoom zoom

Planescape: Torment. It blows away everything else so decisively that it's scary.
