The only decent semi-AAA game that has come out in the last 5ish, maybe more, years is Dishonored 2.

Well I can't say you're wrong because it's just opinions but boy is that not an opinion that would be widely shared. Even among people who play and enjoy CRPGs and have since the 90's or earlier. Your standard is decent, not even good or great, just decent, so this is not a hard list to compile.

  • Dishonored 1
  • Prey (2017)
  • Sleeping Dogs
  • The Last of Us + Uncharted 4
  • Tomb Raider + Rise of the Tomb Raider
  • Alien: Isolation
  • Titanfall + Titanfall 2 (the campaign on TF2 is particularly good)
  • Wolfenstein: The New Order
  • The Witcher 3
  • Arkham Knight
  • Bloodborne
  • (Insert Forza game here if you're into racing)
  • Doom (2016)
  • Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
  • Overwatch
  • Zelda: Breath of the Wild

This is nothing to do with being "self respecting", some people just aren't just insular elitists.

Out of that list, only Dishonored 1, Alien Isolation, WItcher 3, Bloodborne and DXMD are good.

I tried 6 of them;

Witcher 3 was awezum,
Sleeping Dogs was decent;
DXMD was shit, social boss bottles is shit, same cutscenes for every melee kill? keel me now.
Wolfenstein was not bad but got boring pretty quickly,
TR was ok but RoTR was shit,
Tried Prey recently; boring as fuck
& I hate the art style of Dishonored + slashing enemies felt like cutting through paper in that game, inflatable dolls.

I tried 8 of them apparently.

Decent as in "playable without feeling like you are wasting your life". Of all those only Dishonored 1 counts and only as a stealth game.

This is pretty solid list. I would add last Hitman which was actually lots of fun but got raided by rage brigades due to episodic format.

Somehow I doubt he's played most of them. Particularly the console exclusives. How much is PS4 in Brazil? Like 1800 US dollars?

He'll probably say that he knows they've shit anyway.
i didn't know you have to play console games to know they're shit. you learn something new on the codex every day.

A lot of great AAA games have come out in the last 5 years unless you're some edgy tryhard hipster who, in trying to maintain some idiotic e-persona, has lost his eye for actual quality.

Even just the Japanese market has, frankly, been outstanding in its high, consistent quality. Just recently, NieR: Automata, Persona 5, Nioh, Dark Souls 3, Bloodborne have all delivered consistently high quality that is hard to argue with, unless, of course, you are some edgelord trying to be 'cool'.

Enjoying a wide range of genres and games is shitposting, apparently.

I hadn't read the list, but now that this stupid derail is a super-important new thread, I have. Here are my comments on the gaymes listed:

  • I played some Overwatch in my brothers' computer (they are Yuge popamolers). It's an amusing overly erotic silly shooter to play for 30 minutes designed by a pedo-looking jew (pleonasm).

  • I heard Sleeping Dogs is not a bad GTA clone, but with kung-fu chinks instead.

  • Twitcher 3 won RPGCodex's Best RPG in the last 5 years award. I watched a gameplay video for 3 minutes and thought it was another retarded action game. Codex is full of poopamolers, news @ 11.

  • Forza is a racing game and those can be good to play on consoles, I guess.

  • There are like 10 shooters, generic or reharshed from good old games (Doom, Wolf3d, Deus Ex). Kill yourself if you play this. Same with the other action games (Tomb Raider, Zelda, Aliens).

Conclusion: List is shit. Basically don't play these games unless in a social situation with brothers/friends for 30 minutes. OP entered in the Hall of Shame.
