Personally, I find that with all games rather than just JRPG's.
Like with Bayonetta (for an easy example that's an 'unpopular opinion'). Most of of my distaste for the game/franchise is because I utterly detest the characters in it.
Ah, I think I understand you now. You're right, it really is...

I'm with you on Bayonetta... /shudders
Thanks for the info. I'll stay as far away from it as possible then.

FnaF is a game that was only made to be a money-maker for YouTubers. These people thinking that there's anything special about it are just in denial.
Actually I remember the developer releasing another game on Steam Greenlight about a year beforehand. I don't remember the name of it but it was some children's game about beavers that looked really awful and got trashed by most people, most notably by Jim Sterling. The criticism was how it looked like utter ****, the game was utter **** and that the models were unintentionally terrifying, like creepy animatronics rather than happy forest animals. The game as a whole got absolutely bombarded with negative criticism from everybody (which it deserved to be honest).
Apparently the guy was already depressed and suicidal from a lot of other stuff in his life and people laughing at his game that he worked hard on was the last straw. He salvaged all that negative response and used his horrible looking character models that people hated to make something else instead. He essentially thought "people think my games are unintentionally terrifying, so I'm going to intentionally make something terrifying".
I only know the above from another of Jim's videos when he covered FnaF, using this developers 'story' as an example to show how developers (and people in general) should take negative criticism.
I think that FnaF is a steaming pile of crap, but the fact that the dev took all that negative feedback and built something really popular from that negative feedback is really admirable...Especially with all these other 'devs' who throw massive hissy fits when you call their game **** and learn nothing from it. I would stay that's pretty special.
[Edit]
I searched Jim Sterling's youtube for it and the game was actually called 'Chipper and Sons Lumber Co'

Violence in video games does have an effect on the brain. Repeated participation in very violent games, and even mildly violent games (depending on the person) may result in regular violent thoughts and feelings. I try to choose games that mock or make fun of their own violence (Guacamelee!, Mario, Rayman, etc.), and sometimes play certain games that take their violence more seriously (Pokemon, Zelda, Mega Man, etc.). I usually stay away from FPS games, because I literally tend to become angry when playing those games.
I play violent video games like Team Fortress 2, Garry's Mod, Borderlands 2 and many others. You get a little frustrated when you keep losing, but that comes with any game with the ability to lose. It varies from person to person, and watching any video of players of Call of Duty will give you an idea of that, but it's certainly not universal. I wouldn't go around with a gun shooting people like I do in games, just like how I wouldn't save a princess, mainly because princes are more my thing.

I played GTAIII. I then displayed my dad's severed head on a pike as I massacred the local village's children with a beanbag...Full of nails.
Proof that violent video games turn you into a monster.

//on topic--
If you get angry from playing FPS/violent games, odds are you're losing..or need therapy.
If either one of these is the case, it can be fixed/helped.
Either..
A) Get a Therapist.
B) Stop Losing.
C) Just don't play????

My one is that I hate GTA games. I used to like them as a teen but I kinda grew out of the whole "lawl crime and violence is so edgy and badass" thing. It's an average game franchise at best.

GTA Games are a horrible concept imo. Like I personally don't see the fun in Stealing cars -- >shooting up civilians --> Escape the cops --> Stealing cards, and so on.
That's just me I guess,

I think that Spriti Tracks is one of the most underrated Zelda Game. People just write it off as 'another ds zelda' because of Phantom Hourglass, but It took phantom hourglass and fixed most of the glaring problems.
Zelda is a better companion that ciela,
You don't have to go through the entire tower of spirits when you unlock the different levels, although you can go into previous sections if you want to find few hidden goodies,
The soundtrack as a whole is a lot better.

After finally playing and completing Metroid Other M, I really don't understand where all the negativity has come from.
The gameplay was great. It was essentially just a 3D classic Metroid.
The story was fine as well. All this sexism I hear so much about I struggled to find. All the whining about her not using equipment is also explained in the first 20 minutes and it makes perfect friggin' sense as well. The only 'stupid' thing was her not using the Varia suit but I know that was pretty much done for gameplay reasons only, and gameplay shouldn't suffer for the story (which it didn't)...Oh, and her being 'emotional'. She ain't really that emotional at all. She's scared once when Ridley first appears and sad once when her 'farther figure' dies and if you ask me, those are perfectly rational responses to those situations.
Is it the best Metroid? Nope. It's really not that bad either though.
I liked Phantom Hourglass. I've not played Spirit Tracks but it's on my 'to do' list.
