I've always found the Uncharted 4/The Last Of Us/God of War 2018 to all be decent, but all those games are kinda lacking in imteresting gameplay and are basically the video game equivalents of "Oscar bait"

anything Blizzard does. Their games might be technically competent but I don't see the appeal of anything they make. Their games, except maybe overwatch, has this kind of bazinga miasma around them. Specially don't get Warcraft, that one seems to be mostly propped up by nostalgia.
Also Gears of War fucking sucks and Cliffy B can fuck off forever for tainting a whole console generation with that series stink.
I've felt very vindicated in the last year or so as everyone's started shitting on Blizzard, because I've always shitted on them. They have literally never made an original game in their entire existence. Their whole schtick is taking an already popular game/setting/mechanic/etc and just redoing it with a fresh coat of varnish (and often a bunch of waifus too) and then getting drowned in acclaim for... Copying TF2? Copying C&C and Warhammer Fantasy at the same time? Doing a 40k ripoff of their own Fantasy ripoff?
Also WoW all but killed MMOs because it's popularity made everyone else copy its theme park style content, and they all suck. Stop calling your game massively multiplayer if it's just a single player RPG with strangers yelling slurs at you while you do quests.
I played WoW until Cataclysm, until "we are rock stars," until the original Diablo creator criticized where Blizzard was going and received tweets saying "fuck that loser" from the aforementioned "rock stars," and the sheer arrogance and hubris of those douchebags was insufferable before I was even aware that it was a perpetual rapey frat party behind closed doors.
Greedy, arrogant, fratboy company. Its often-celebrated stories tend to recycle the same old "corruption" arcs and often just outright Archer setting ideas from other companies.
Blizzard peaked with BW/D2 and it's all downhill from there. Even WC3 had some of the bullshit that would come up in subsequent games.
Pretty sure it was Cliffy B that shut down whole vanity projects of his and left whole teams unemployed because he just lost interest. I remember Patrick Boivin (formerly SuperBestFriends) having a twitter spat with him over it.
