Unpopular gaming opinions

[Alienfish]

I hate games where you have to do a tutorial to advance to the main game. It was good for TF2 since you actually learned stuff but for games such as Senran Kagura Burst where the button mashing doesn't work as it should it's just ****ing annoying.

I think everyone shares that sentiment though. Going through a tutorial you can't opt out of is pretty much always annoying.

OoT is not the best Zelda game. Sorry, guys. For it's time it was pretty incredible but I don't actually think it's aged too well.

Yes, it was basically a template for all future Zelda games, but I don't think OoT is the end-all, be-all. It's just not that great. Don't get me wrong, I love it! I just don't believe it deserves the pedestal it's placed upon by most other fans.

In my opinion Skyward Sword is the best Zelda game.

P.S. I hate Hyrule Warriors.

Yeah and I hate learning moves/techniques that way because if you don't do it correctly you fail the game lol when you hardly need to use it.

I meant more the addition of it in every other game

It depends on how the game does the tutorial for me.

If the game manages to blend the tutorial into the narrative in a way that makes it part of the story/game rather than 'just a tutorial' I can live with it.
Those games that just throw a popup in the middle of your screen that pauses the gameplay to say 'push A to jump' or make you go through a long tedious 'tutorial level' (that almost every RTS has) that serves absolutely no purpose other than being a tutorial, they need to go away entirely. Those are horrible to sit through even if you personally NEED a tutorial.

We shouldn't be seeing those lazy types of 'obvious tutorial' these days, especially with devs trying to make these 'narrative driven' games.





I thought Ruby and Sapphire were the least interesting and worst Pokemon games overall.

This seemed to be a popular opinion until the remakes got announced when everybody changed their mind, so now I guess it's an unpopular opinion.

I've bought Omega Ruby today to see if the remake does anything for me, but it sounds like it's had enough changed and added to stand on it's own from the originals to some degree so I don't think my opinion will change. Safe to say, I'm not really hyped to play it...Not sure why I bought it (well I had money and I'm a big man child that can't leave a store empty handed I guess)

Yeah, if anyone played Senran Kagura Burst they force you through it and you can't opt out(or idk I never could) which makes it annoying because I know the controls and some of it I don't need to use I don't need a fail from a tut thank you.

If they show you classes like TF2 they are okay(since you actually got an achievement for them later on before the update).

But yes those press A to jump are just wtf no..

The worst one I'll ever remember is the original 'Driver' game for PS1.

It had a tutorial that you HAD to complete to continue. The problem was it was also one of those tutorials where you had to do each thing it told you before it let you move onto the next bit and no matter how much I tried (and how much I'm sure I actually did it right) I couldn't get past one part of the tutorial, so I never saw the rest of the game.

I mean, really, is it that important that I know the controls that they'll lock me out of the game for not getting a maneuver 100% perfect in the tutorial? I guarantee that whatever it was, I could have beaten the game without actually using it...



Safe to say I haven't touched a Driver game since. I'm not throwing money at those games in case they don't let me continue the actual game for not getting 100% headshots in the friggin' tutorial...(plus they look sucky anyway)

If you see how stupid some people are with games, I understand the amount of tutorials in games nowadays. I like that some games ask you if you want to play the tutorial level (Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance did this). If you're confident that you understand the controls from reading the manual, you can just jump right in. I think most games should have that. Especially COD, since how hard can it be to point at someone and click the mouse?

If it's for something that actually takes a while to understand, then I really don't mind a tutorial. I'd rather get a tutorial on it and fully understand what I have to do rather than bumbling about like an idiot, maybe even wasting precious resources.

I can't wait for the Sinnoh remakes to get announced so that all the haters currently in the Pokemon Center go "OMG I LOVED SINNOH!!!!"

alright I might regret this but...
I find Link from LOZ a teeny tiny bit overrated. I really like the character and find him really cool but his "noises" do get on my nerves sometimes

Ahhhh, manuals...How I remember you fondly...I remember the most exciting part of opening a new game was pulling out the manual and seeing if it was one done with colors, or the disappointing greyscale ones...

Now we have disappointing one-sided leaflets (and that's if we're lucky)




Would not caring about the environment or whether trees die because I miss manuals be unpopular and/or a gaming opinion?

I flat out love sonic r. It's one of my favorite racers to date.

They were replaced with the less impressive digital manuals. You also can't really bring them along to leaf through a manual while you're doing your business.
I really liked the ones that had extra stuff in it, like short comics or artwork made especially for the manual. You could really see that great effort was put into some of them.

And nah, I know that a lot of people share that sentiment. They'd rather see the disc format disappear for Vita-like flash cards if it meant the return of (good) manuals.

Yeah I loved the manual that came with boxes back in the days. Nowadays their are digital only or LE, lol.

 

[pocky]

I really liked manuals as a kid. I remember that my dad would take me to buy a game and on the car ride home I'd open up the box and leaf through the manual to kill the time.

sounds awesome. but yeah i loved them so much. screw digital only stuff

I used to dislike Digital Downloads until I realized that they reduce a lot of waste. Having to download things is a bit annoying, but its a small price to pay for helping the planet. Granted that I still do buy physical games every now and then, but digital games are a really good option! But that's just my opinion.

 

[Alienfish]

I hate digital/only games. They cram up space, memory cards for vita are expensive and i want it physical.

This is not an unpopular opinion I have, but Sony needs to stop forcing their overpriced memory cards down people's throats. Why does it take like a minute to delete a 500 MB game from the Vita while I can delete a 1GB game from the 3DS in mere seconds? Get your **** together, Sony. Use readily available storage formats or just don't bother releasing a handheld system.

This is a popular opinion. Also, don't buy physical then. I love being fully digital but because I am fully digital I refuse to buy a Vita. The price of their memory cards are insane. I have a 128GB in my new 3DS. I can't imagine the price of something comparable for the Vita.

There is nothing wrong with hacking. Provided you aren't causing trouble for other people, I fully support hacking.
