Unpopular gaming opinions

OMG I've heard of people doing that for other reasons too, but the basis almost always ended up being just to show off and be a jerk.

Yes. I like a few of them but it's not that I consider them ultimate or show them off/end trades because of it. Also the shiny charm helped nothing for me in Black 2 and White 2

because those games sucked
 
Had fun reading through this entire thread. I don't like typing TL;DR posts but...

In regards to the Zelda series, since I see a lot of discussion on it...
-I think OoT does deserve the praise it gets because of its replay value alone. Same with TP
-MM is great and all, but being over-hyped.
-WW is refreshing and cute, and doesn't deserve the negative attention it gets.
-SS was utter garbage. Coulda appreciated it more had it been done in WW's style to match how goofy it is.
-The 2D and handheld titles are decent, but can't really hold my attention. MC was the best there imo
-Hyrule Warriors is super addictive and fun but I agree that it really did weeaboo up and embarrass the series. I don't like the way Link looks or sounds...
-I ended up liking the original characters in HW more than the characters actually from the Zelda series oops
-Sheik is much better being depicted as male or androgynous... Not saying Sheik/Zelda IS a male under the clothing, but the persona that is Sheik is male.

Other Stuff...
-Final Fantasy XII was the best Final Fantasy.
-I don't understand the Minecraft hype at all, same goes for the Sonic series...
-Turn based and first-person games really fail to hold my attention in most cases.
-Pokemon X/Y is great imo, but lacked post-game content. I'm bored with the series as a whole though.
-Exploits aren't terrible, they just give us new ways to enjoy the game.
-Okami is extremely underrated and deserves a more legitimate sequel or prequel (that isn't crappy like Okamiden).
-Mario Kart 64 was my favorite in the series. I couldn't get into the other MK titles. Gonna try to buy 8 though.

I think Mario Kart is getting real stale nowadays and the reason it doesn't get any flak is because they're released every few years. Like I don't really see the hype with MK8.

The same could be said of Smash.

I don't think anyone would argue against that (unless they're talking about HW Sheik instead of OOT Sheik). Sheik is always referred to as "he", and the point was to make Zelda unrecognizable so she could be hidden from Ganondorf that way. He wouldn't think this male ninja guy is Zelda.

What I think a lot of people misunderstand, and you also address it, is that she doesn't magically grow a penis when she puts on the disguise, or that she identifies as male. It's for her own safety that she is disguised that way and trained in the Sheikah traditions. Once the guise is not needed anymore, she goes right back into her princess clothing.

I think that's the slightly unpopular part of it when you're talking to SJWs, and it kinda winds me up that they look for so much meaning in something so simple.
 
Other M was trash.
Hyule Warriors sucked ass.
I'm not purchasing Smash 4 because of what they did to Samus.
I love everything about Skyrim. Glitches included.
I loved Mass Effect's ending.

My opinions, before anyone gets their panties in a bunch over a few opinions.

Every game except probably 4 at least tries to be different. Melee was a huge step up and Brawl had Subspace + stage creator + interesting characters. 4 just has new characters + a few clones.

But then the anti-gravity, additional items as well as item changes in MK8 should be just as interesting. Plus it's the first time that characters from outside the Mario series of games make it into a Mario Kart game. If all a game needs to be interesting is a few adjustments from its predecessor, MK8 should be right up your alley.
 
I don't feel impressed or blown away driving upside down. Characters are just for looks, it doesn't justify getting a new game. It's basically the same mechanics but different level designs and stuff. Idk what it's doing new. I know that sequels basically do the same thing, but when it comes to Mario Kart the new stuff isn't enough. It's 2015 and they're still sticking to the same stuff that are almost a decade old.

To be fair, you never drive upside down...Doing so would actually have been more disorientating and arguably fun than what MK8 actually does with this mechanic. To me, they could have almost gotten rid of the anti-gravity stuff entirely and practically all the tracks would play pretty much the same (aside from a few tiny areas where you can drive on a wall in a straight line...whoo...fun).

It's pretty cool on paper, I just don't feel the way it was actually used either adds or takes away from the game. It's sort of just there.

All of these but the mass effect ending are very popular opinions
 
I'm baffled as to how and why FNAF is such a huge deal.
Reason #1: Furries. They go crazy over this game, and the characters have possibly been sexualized more than the MLP characters by now.
Reason #2: LPers, especially those with scarecam. I can't fathom why, but a lot of people follow the ones with scarecam footage and high-pitched screaming. Due to them spreading their muck around, FNAF gains traction in the casual gaming community and becomes larger than it should be.
Reason #3: Kids or people with low standards. FNAF1 was an okay game, but after two or three hours of play it loses its charm and just becomes boring. These people eat that **** up, though. After Slender, they think jump scares are the pinnacle of horror, so FNAF gives them that along with high-pitched squealing. Maybe it calms them because it reminds them of PewDiePie and the like?

FNAF1 was all right for what it was. FNAF2 was already kinda stretching it, but with the announcement of a third game, it's pretty obvious that the guy is just starting to milk these people (especially #1). People also try to find a lot of hidden meanings behind the incredibly simple plot, especially after the godawful GAEM THEREEZ channel made a video with another load of bull**** in it.

At this point I'd rather see people praise things like Silent Hill V: Homecoming. That game is awful but at least the fans aren't this rampant about it. That might be because it has no fans though.

It makes sense from a design point of view. If you go on a looping rollercoaster, you can always look down and see your body. If the camera were not to follow the character in the way it does in MK8, it would confuse the players. If you press left, you go right (and vice versa), when you jump over a ledge the character is actually placed lower on the screen, blue shells would come from the bottom of the screen, and so on. The brain can't process a body being upside-down, because visually, only the world can be upside-down.

I'll agree that it doesn't look that impressive, but for the sake of the game being playable it was necessary.
 
Flash games aren't inherently bad. Is that an unpopular opinion? I have no clue.

Unpopular, what's that!?

The last you two things aren't really opinions either.


And ehh my opinion Mass Effect 3 in general is trash not just the ending. I'll also argue that Mass Effect 2 started the whole dumbing down thing but I think that's more popular.

Another, Last of Us is actually an average game. Not bad but not amazing.

dude i so agree! The last of us bored me many times and the ending was like "eh? Am I supposed to be sad?"
Like who cares about Ellie?
 
It's not really about Ellie, it's about the relationship between her and Joel. Just look how Joel's all screwed and protective of her now.
