Haven't seen a list like this before!! xDDD Once again, not terrible but not great. Gonna put you in top 30% of plebians, so you're pretty high up the bell-curve tbqf.Whatever mang. Although, I do find it hard to believe that you've seen SMT II, X-COM, and Mechassault on the same list before. Kind of a few pretty different kinds of games.I wasn't having a go. I'm just saying the guy before you posted NV and Wind Waker was posted tonnes of times too. Your list is as good as anyone elses.Wasn't trying to argue your opinion, just curious on what "brought it down". To that effect, are NV and WW detractors just because other people like them too? I'd think that'd be a bit counterintuitive to measuring taste.They don't detract at all, if anything I think NV is the best one on your list. What brought it down was the overall selection.Still a bit confused. Do you mean that as in, "everything is mediocre"?Well, in short, yes that's how I see it anyway. I wouldn't consider any of the games you listed to be considered a patrician standard. But at the same time they are not ordinary plebian choices, that''s why I rated you as a high-tier plebian.Alright, that makes sense. Regardless, I enjoy them immensely (gameplay and/or story) and that's all that really matters in the end fam.

I just don't understand why people not only enjoy it (that's one thing) but think that it's actually good?I've only watched a friend play it, but from what I've seen TW3 definitely has an abnormal awesome/second mentality in regards to the variety of things you're doing and how often those things change. I've only taken a small sampling of it, but even this alone warrants a closer inspection, I think. It could be really damn engaging. That being said, I've never liked being cast as someone else in an rpg, but I don't even know how much you can change geralt's personality through your actions. What isn't appealing about it, do you think?Subjectively I just don't like the art style, the setting, or the characters. The whole game just rubs me up the wrong way. No issues there, preference is a fair point.QuoteI understand that the game is objectively good, it has solid mechanics and I can respect that. But even putting my opinions to one side, I still wouldn't consider it to be anywhere near patrician standardsI guess it's appropriate to ask "what is patrician?" "what is plebeian?" in these circumstances. More specifically, what makes TW3 definitely not patrician, even before playing it?
