Its time for a reality check. Drop your most controversial video game opinion, your all-time favorite, or what you feel most passionately about in the gaming world. Spoiler alert: You’re all wrong, and I’m here to tell you why.
Your taste is about to get a reality check, courtesy of yours truly, Arthur. Let’s see what kind of digital dumpster fires you’re defending.
SMB3 is superior to SMW
Hold up, hold up, hold up - SMB3 superior to SMW? You better come correct with that take.
World has Yoshi, the cape power-up, and a freaking interconnected world map. Mario 3 may have introduced Kuribo’s Shoe and the Tanooki Suit, but World perfected it.
And don’t even get me started on the music - Athletic Theme vs. Ground Theme is a fight I’ll take any day. So, what makes you think 3 takes the cake?
Don’t give me some half-baked explanation; I want cold hard facts and logical reasoning backing up your claim.
I didn’t know you were going to just drop this into chatgpt because it’s so obvious you did.
Especially this line:
Mario 3 may have introduced Kuribo’s Shoe and the Tanooki Suit, but World perfected it.
Go fuck yourself you boring attention seeking lazy moron
I love how I’m the first and last thing on your mind 🤣 I’m not interested though, sorry to disappoint you.
If anyone’s owed an apology for you being a disappointment, it’s your father.
OH SNAP PEAS !!!
Skyrim is boring. I’ve tried multiple times to get into it and never lasted more than a couple hours. I just don’t get the popularity.
What the actual fuck? Skyrim is a masterclass in open-world design, storytelling, and player choice.
You can’t seriously tell me you found it boring? That’s like saying the Mona Lisa is just a bunch of random brushstrokes.
Did you even bother trying to join the Thieves Guild or become a freaking Dragonborn?
There’s so much depth to that game, it’s ridiculous. I can understand if it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but come on, two hours?! That’s barely enough time to get out of Helgen. Are you even a real gamer, bro?
It’s visually pleasing but the dialogue is pretty lame and it’s essentially just a bunch of fetch quests wrapped in pretty pictures.
Stardew valley is actually the best game available, and probably always will be.
We don’t need 90% of new games. Just shut it down
I got a few:
-
Undertale is fine. It’s a neat play on ludonarrative ideas and a smart combat system but the characters all suck and I can feel the game judging me the whole time. It’s also just not that funny save for a few small moments. I also think it’s legacy is the worst thing about it because now we have a million small indie RPGs that all try the same thing.

Witcher 3 is a complete and utter bore. I could literally never take Geralt seriously because he always sounds like he just ate gravel, so anytime he opened his mouth I laughed. Combine that with the world’s most boring combat (I did my entire playthrough by spamming the shield spell and light attacks) and a gameplay loop consisting of following yellow dots on map and I just completely fail to see how anyone thinks this is a masterpiece.

Spec Ops the Line is what The Last of Us 2 wishes it could be. TLOU 2’s biggest issue is that it tries to tell a very serious story about the dangers of revenge and how violence isn’t something that should be sought after but then makes violence the most engaging and fun thing in the entire game (NakeyJakey’s video on TLOU 2 basically sums up my feeling about the game). Contrast that with Spec Ops, which seeks to convey a very similar message about how it’s kinda fucked up we glorify war crimes. So what does it do? It makes the combat as boring and unglamorous as possible. It forces the player into legitimately questioning their actions in ways that make them think differently about the medium. I could honestly write an entire essay about this but I’ll sum it up by saying that I think anyone who engages in video game criticism and analysis needs to play Spec Ops the Line.
That’s all I’ve got for now, I’ll update when I have a bit more time.
