Unpopular gaming opinions

[Silversea]

unlike most people, I actually liked FFXIII especially the battle system, I found the crystarium addictive and I could never get bored of the battle music even after hearing it a gazillion times~

Yes please. The "upgrade system" in FFX gave me headaches I couldn't look at it. FFXIII was an awesome game. Then Lightning Returns showed up but that is a completely different game so I don't think it could be compared.

I believe lucario is far better than mewtwo in smash brothers. Other than that, can't think of any other unpopular opinions I have... Anything else I say is probably smash related.

I don't like CoD or battlefield/war games, I guess that is unpopular. I can sort of tolerate Halo but meh.

Competitive Pokemon SRing is not my deal anymore. Sorry, but bring on the action replays.

I hated Pokemon Black 2 and White 2.

I'm not going to yell at all the popular AC dreamies but several of them don't appeal to me.

Etc.

etc.

etc.

- Recent Bethesda games are awful and people should stop buying their games until they can learn to release something that isn't broken as all hell and isn't as empty as my wallet. People shouldn't have to pay full retail price to bug test their games for them and Bethesda shouldn't be praised because the community fixes and adds content that a lot of the time should have existed in their games in the first place. This doesn't even include games like 'Hunted' which weren't large open worlds but were still God awful and broken.
"But it's a large game" is a horrible excuse. Give it more development time if this is the case, and actually hire some damn testers.

- Nintendo need to stop releasing so many variations of the same consoles. XL and 'lite' versions are already bad enough but releasing an actual '3DSv1.5' that is going to have exclusive content that more 'dedicated' gamers like myself essentially 'have to buy' is utter BS. I've had my 3DS for a year and I already feel like I have to upgrade it or I'll be missing out.
If Sony released the 'new' PS4 next year and it had exclusive content, people would start a riot. Nintendo does it, people throw praise at them in buckets. I buy a console expecting to get at least a few years out of it, and that's taking into account the 3DS had already been on the market for over a year before I picked it up.

- Valve games just...Aren't that great.

- We need to tone down on the political correctness and equal representation in gaming.
Should females be more represented? Yes. Should there be more diversity in lead characters outside of 'white male'? Yes.
It feels like this is all either being needlessly shoehorned into games recently though, or becoming an entire selling point for games.
"The game has a woman" shouldn't be a games only or central selling point. "The story centers around this guy who happens to also be white" is still a legitimately good excuse to not have character choice in a story driven game.

- Starfox 64 was boring as hell.
Starfox Adventures is fantastic.
Fite mi.

- Bayonetta is awful. The story is horrible, the humor is terrible, the character designs are unappealing, the voice acting is cringeworthy and despite popular belief...Bayonetta herself is not an attractive character in any sense of the word.
The gameplay was okay I guess, but I can't sit through everything else.

Would anyone really play Bayonetta for any reason other than the gameplay though?

But timed button activated cutscenes ughhhgkhdlgmdlkhdgh

wind waker is my favorite zelda game and i love the sailing.

I warned yee.

who said i was offended?

 

[Alienfish]

I don't find Dota 2 as awesome as the majority of people.. Can't say LoL is better..well it was before.

I would say that this is a pretty popular opinion, especially with CoD.

CoD hate has gotten to that stage where hating it makes you look like you're on a bandwagon. Even people who like it openly express their hate these days...Which is annoying since I've never liked CoD yet it's assumed I'm jumping on a recent trend.

I can find the same gameplay elsewhere though, with all the things I hate about it fixed. Those types of 'hack n slash' games aren't exactly that different from each other in terms of gameplay.


And yea...those God damn QTE's in games...Just get rid of those entirely.

 

[Trent the Paladin]

As much as I'm fine with you having an opinion...I don't see how you can give such a definite statement on a game that hasn't even been released yet.

Hang on, Splatoon isn't even out yet! How do you know it's bad???

The hype machine will kill Splatoon, just like it's killed every other game before it. Nothing can live, thrive, and survive the hype at least not long. The first few days or week maybe, but it'll be killed eventually by it. And honestly, people are touting this as the revolutionary game that will change FPS/TPS games forever when really it looks just bland and samey. Nothing from the promotional videos and images revealed thus far really shows what makes this stand out from the crowd other than "WHOA COLORS".

You can say that about at least 90% of the opinions in this thread.

I can find the same gameplay elsewhere though, with all the things I hate about it fixed. Those types of 'hack n slash' games aren't exactly that different from each other in terms of gameplay.

At the basic level maybe, but the appeal is always the different mix of abilities, speed and overall mechanics. Think like how DMC had Devil Trigger which powered up the character, whereas Bayonetta had Witch Time and the ability to turn into various animals. They change up the gameplay in interesting ways, at least if you're a fan of the genre.
I've beaten DMC3 on the highest difficulties and I think that's only hack and slash which I'll put that much time into, but I still find the games overall fun... as long as they have some variety and speed to them. Games like God of War and Dante's Inferno are slow and boring, and all you can do is upgrade the same **** weapon. There's absolutely nothing that keeps the player's attention for longer than maybe an hour.
Except for the boobs, I guess, but even in my teens I couldn't give a rat's ass about that.

Who...?

I'm excited for the game, but I wouldn't say it's revolutionary at all. It just looks like brainless fun, and I like the style of it.
I just hope the game has an option for up/down camera movement. Having to tilt the Gamepad for that is pretty awful.

dingus ron paul is boring

what does that have to do with what I said? Not trying to be rude or anything, but just curious!

-Pokemon games aren't that great anymore, I can just play the story through and then never feel a need to touch them again for a long time. maybe it's just me idk. oras tried yeah, but I guess it's just the fact that they're now milking this series so hard & running out of new ideas when you see them creating unbalanced mega's, etc. (mega rayquaza for example lol)
-Smash 4 is fun, this feels unpopular to say because all these elitist competitive players despise it so much, but man just take the game and play it for fun.
-Why is 5 night's at freddy's so hyped?? Seems like a bad game & not interesting. This might be more on the side of a popular opinion because you either like it or you hate it, but I'll add that in anyway. I just hate all horror games.
-I really want to like the Zelda series, but I just can't get into it. It's probably one of the most loved series ever..
I've played OoT, Link's Awakening, and a bit of a Link to the Past, and I just could barely get past OoT. I guess it's not my "type" of game. It's just boring to me. I've always heard Majora's was probably the best game of the series, so I still have hope that maybe I could get into that game?

The Sims 4 sucks

The Sims 4 sucks

That's an unpopular opinion?

 

[Captain Crazy Chicken]

I. Hate. Marshal.

 

[Alienfish]

Rosie is like the worst peppy unless you really need bells lol

 

[Mr. Marowak]

Shovel Knight is overrated. Don't get me wrong, it's good, but not "the best video game to ever grace the human plane" good.

 

[oreo]

sims 4 is a big joke
sighs

- - - Post Merge - - -

sims 3 too
sorry

I gotta agree.. I mean it might be fun but the way they are advertising it everywhere as "so awesome!".. nah

 

[Brobasaur]

I really hate first person RPGs. Its like developers sat down to think about what's the least amount of effort they can put into making a video game. And thus first person RPGs were born!
Only exceptions are DQ6 and 7. They have pretty good stories.

 

[Alienfish]

Survival games are being.. way too exploited. Sure.. Don't Starve is fun at first but it becomes too much of a chore if you play it too much.

But those aren't first person? I'm confused by what you said now.
