Unpopular gaming opinions

People give Final Fantasy XIII so much hate but I honestly had a great time with it. I'm a sucker for great presentation and the combat system was so much more exciting than most RPG's I've played. The story was a bit convoluted but I enjoyed the characters and their developments a lot. I don't think it gets enough credit and it is definitely not easy! (for me anyway)
 
I hated Bravely Default. The story was predictable. The characters are forgettable. The gameplay got kinda stale at some points. I was expecting more CGI scenes from SE, but I guess not. The only real thing that I really liked was the art style/scenery and all the classes, but even then some of the classes were just useless like the summoner class.

True that. I don't see why people are so amazed by it. Like any other Final Fantasy game, the battle system is interesting, but once that loses its charm after a few hours, it just becomes a chore to play the game. The story being predictable was a huge flaw, and I would be surprised if there was really anyone that didn't see the "twists" coming from a mile away.
I don't know if this is some problem with Japanese writers or something, but a lot of their stories have the most obvious plot twists, of which BD was one.

It was a game with great potential, good art and music direction, and then they screwed it up. I get a lot of **** from friends for saying that I hate BD, but I expected something amazing when I bought it for full price. Instead I got a mediocre game with a bad story.
 
Peach isn't worth less as a person just because she isn't able to protect herself from being kidnapped.

True, Peach is my favourite Mario character, although I honestly don't know many people who dislike her. :rolleyes: They just prefer characters like... Rosalina. Dx Okay, my unpopular opinion is that I HATE Rosalina. :mad: Anyway, in response to your point: I've found that they've made Peach a much stronger character, now that Nintendo aren't just solely repeating the same plot of "rescue the princess!". For example, in 3D World, Peach was a playable character, and instead you had to rescue the Sprixies which Bowser had stolen. I always played as Peach, of course. But yeah, I think adding Rosalina in as a playable character at the end was so pointless, they're only doing it because the fans are crazy about her, like she played no relevant or vital role throughout the entirety of 3D World, so why is she just suddenly of importance when you complete the game? :\ I don't like her much at all, she's really just a sub par replacement for Daisy. Anyway, Peach will forever be my favourite.
 
Super Mario Sunshine is my favourite 3D platformer in the Mario franchise. And it's not because it's the one I grew up with. I grew up with 64. I just love Sunshine.

SSB4 was actually kind of disappointing because the game really has no story or goal and the smash tour thing is nothing but a bad experiment. my opinion of course
 
I'm a huge, huge, HUGE Zelda fan. Like, it's basically my life--I have a Zelda wall, tons of Zelda merch, have played most of the games, etc.....

But I really hate how the latest games have been turning Zelda into... anime? If that explains it. If not, allow me: the characters all make those extremely annoying and unnecessary noises. A sigh and grunt and shout is occasionally okay, but when it highlights every moment (especially for the ladies and they're ****ing annoying high-pitched gasps) it gets REALLY OLD. Characters emotions are all over the place, all the time. It can be comical in the right places but when it's overdone the way it is in Skyward Sword sometimes (which is actually my favorite game in the series despite this; another unpopular gaming opinion, I guess) it makes me want to vomit.

As far as Hyrule Warriors goes, I think the concept is really neat and great, but again I really hate how anime-like Nintendo has made the characters (though I suppose the ridiculousness of the females can be attributed to the fact that the game was made by the Dynasty Warriors team.) They act so stupid! They giggle and look cutesy and make those tiny gasps, like for God's sake, can you act like normal human beings? You know, how they did in all the Zelda games before Skyward Sword came out?

I can't really understand why Nintendo felt it needed to do that. Maybe to appeal to the masses? It makes me sick, though. There are better ways to put more emotion into your games than by stuffing your characters full of ridiculous actions and expressions and noises. Goodness.

Melee and 64 didn't have a story. The game shouldn't, it's just a beat-em-up
 
Sonic Adventure 2 is actually a very flawed game that aged terribly over the years.

As is Sonic Adventure 1.


Both were fun to play back then but I would rather undergo unnecessary surgery than have to play either one of them again. At least the surgery would end quicker and I would be unconscious for the duration.

I agree with all of this except for it was too easy. The only boss I had a hard time with was the boss of chapter 9. I couldn't beat it for a month, but every other boss I beat on my 1st or 2nd try.
 
I personally think Pikachu and Charizard are two of the most useless pokemon in the game. Because of this and the fact genwunners refused to get past their nostalgia, nintendo gave Charizard two mega evolutions, and both are borderlineing the uber tier. It's ridiculous.

I also dislike the amout of credit that The Last of Us has. Yes, the story was nice. Was it phenomenal? No. It was lacking. I enjoyed it only because of the hard mode + survival mode and the tactics it took to get through the game on said modes. I hate those that give it too much credit.

Sonic was never actually a character I enjoyed whilst playing any of the games. He seemed conceited and like a jerk to me. I also didn't like Shadow or Silver, either.
Tails, Rouge, and Blaze ftw. They seemed more fleshed out and interesting than their designated "hero."
 
Gen 6 of Pokemon is terrible and probably the most dissappointing in the series. I could spend hours going into the issues with game design, framerate, lack of content and even the lack of ambition by the developers (remember that quote on how "gamers don't have the time anymore to explore for such content, so we just won't make it?"), but all in all... they're just bad. At least ORAS were remakes so I could enjoy Hoenn, a region from a good set of games, but even as a "remake", it fails in so many regards.

That's just my opinion though, and I think many do share it, but not the target audience.
