You might judge games "too quickly" but I can't blame you when Horizon has a terrible opening.

No it doesn't. People are too quick to applaud it and say "it plays like Doom 1!" just because it's fast paced. It plays very little like Doom.

Idk if this is a joke, but no it doesnt

 

Boy don't ya seem like a likeable fellow....Which games do you enjoy?! just asking...

Good job editing it from "you elisit trash piece of sh*t" to "Boy don't ya seem like a likeable fellow" lol. 

I don't see how any of what I said makes me elitist. Someone said they didn't like the first hour of Doom and Horizon. I replied that you probably judged the games too quickly, but Horizon does have a bad intro. And then someone said that Doom was great because it was like Doom 1. As an avid fan of the original Doom before Doom 2016 came out, I hate seeing this because it's just a misrepresentation of how different the games are. Doom fans say 2016 is like Doom 1 cause it's "fast paced", that was the big contention with Doom 3 - it wasn't fast paced. But both of the games play way differently even with the somewhat similar pacing. The thing about "idk if this is a joke" was in reference to Uncharted 4. Someone asked if Uncharted got better with it's climbing or something like that cause it just felt too easy and like an automated process to them only with a button press(i'm paraphrasing of course). Most uncharted fans have admitted this since the first game, it's not exactly an elitist or hater thing to admit. Though, 4 does the climbing better than other games in the series.

I like ALL of those games from what I've played, especially Doom 2016. Seeing ID software get their franchises back on track is great. 

Anyways since you asked nicely the games I like this generation are : Dark Souls 3, The Witcher 3, Bloodborne, Ni-oh, Breath of the Wild, what I've played of Horizon, Doom 2016, Wolfenstein : The New Order, Playerunknown's Battlegrounds, Overwatch, Rise of the Tomb Raider(idk only Tomb Raider game i've played...I really loved it), Killing Floor 2, Rainbow Six siege, Persona 5 so far, etc. 

I know you weren't being serious when you asked for a list of games, but I don't see how I can be an elitist when I like most new big releases. Criticism doesn't make you an elitist. I definitely criticize games in a crude way, but I don't think the manner of critique is as important as the critique itself. Most of what I said wasn't even a critique, I was answering a question and saying that x game really doesn't play like y game, I literally just criticized Horizon's intro(which is awful).
