Meh
I kinda like the spinoffs of Pokemon more than most of the main games... If they implemented the battle style of pokepark more often or in other games, I feel like that would be amazing, but I've been wishing that since third gen.

Honestly (and this is a little serious/heavy here as opposed to the more trivial unpopular opinions I have, I'm just in venting mode rn) I'm really tired of designers trying to be "edgy" just for the sake of being edgy. Over the top gore for no reason, exploiting sensitive subjects and upholding stereotypes of minority groups, etc. that kind of thing. And before anybody complains about me being "too PC" (which, just, LOL) I don't mean there should never be any gore or that any sensitive material shouldn't be allowed in games, but I think - and this is what other gamers seem to respond negatively to for some reason - that when you're putting together a title that you hope millions of people will be playing, you have some sort of responsibility to handle your content tastefully. And again, since that can be taken out of context... what I mean is that there are respectful ways of exploring issues, there are ways of commenting on horrible things in a responsible manner, but so many devs just gloss over it and it drives me mad. Too many people just throw really disgusting things in their games and call it "satire" while making it clear they don't understand what satire really is. I've enjoyed the Saints Row series in my time - the latter installments in particular - because a lot of the time they do it right, and when they don't, it's glaringly obvious... okay I'm p sure I'm not making sense anymore lmao
With a similar rant, I'm tired of seeing devs try to shoehorn things into their game just for the sake of being 'correct' so people don't complain they're "not represented" etc. or using the fact that they're doing something such as 'using a minority' or 'having a gay character option' becomes a top selling point for the game.
A somewhat recent example would be when AC:Unity was reveled to not have female playable characters (because the story demanded a male character, so I hear), then Sunset Overdrive pretty much took this as an opportunity to use 'female characters' as a prime selling point to their game (with the obvious shot at AC since they made the female resemble a generic AC character).
It's just cringy.
I don't think that developers shouldn't try to include other groups outside of 'Caucasian American male', in fact, I think that more diversity in characters is highly needed. As a white guy, I'm sick of seeing white guys everywhere as my only option, especially since I usually play as a chick. Hell, at this point, just making the usual 'American white guy' into a 'British white guy' would be a shocking development.
I also think though that shoehorning them in 'just because' and using it as a main selling point for the game isn't the right way to do it. It's pretty much making things like 'female character' a feature, the same way that multiplayer is a 'feature'. The fact that your game has a female character should NOT be a 'feature'.
I also think that if the developers never intended for this stuff to be in the game for whatever reason (such as the story was written specifically for a male character), they shouldn't feel forced to shove it in there at all. At the end of the day, it's their game. People shouldn't have to change their 'creative vision' just for the sake of political correctness.
I mean...We didn't hear too many complaints that Tomb Raider or Remember Me didn't represent the male demographic enough, so you can't complain about games that don't represent females (even if females are vastly under represented as a whole).
I honestly feel strongly against DLC ;w;
Like...I just got my hands on fire emblem awakening, and seeing all of the DLC? D: It makes me feel like I've bought an Incomplete game...I bought it for about forty dollars, so I feel I have the right, as any other player should, to have ALL of the content, not pay another twenty for two more dungeons, give us all of the dungeons like you use to do in the older games! D: don't sell us HALF of a game...
Sorry for the vent but omg, I'm so against buying DLC to add more content to a game that should have all of it. ;w;

I know what you mean. I don't mind DLC that just adds like extras or little bonuses, but DLC that adds entire levels or other facets to the game makes me feel like they left it out on purpose so they could sell it to you later. 8U *cough*fantasylife*cough* I hate having to pay for something that should have been there in the first place.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I agree and disagree -- in some cases, I feel like DLC adds some nice things that the base game didn't necessarily need to be complete. Like with Warlock 1 & 2's DLC, sure one of them adds a totally useful game mode and a new race to play as -- but most of the time, they just add some new spells or Lords to be able to pick up. /shrug. Not really necessary.
But in most cases, like with The Sims, I can't see why there's $400 worth of DLC that adds things like pets, or careers, or proper wedding pieces. That, should have been in my base game, and it's not worth $20. :l
Or on that note, Battlefield's early access DLCs just to have some weapons ~earlier~ than you normally would unlock them? lol.
LOL my favorite DLC = complete game is Fallout 3. You can't really finish the game without it. You can do the game ending quest but cannot save it after finishing as you die, but with the add-on the game keeps going. It was the best DLC (other than Mothership Zeta imo) but I remember it annoyed a lot of people.
Also Sims is a real stinker for DLC. Talk about a vanilla game if you don't download some extras... Luckily it can last you longer with multi colored (like changing the black TV to white) but that only goes so far. Lol Sim City 4 was the same way tbh I had to keep adding buildings people designed on their own from this one website cause every city would look identical after a while.

Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks are the only good LoZ games.

Those sucked so indeed lol.
Danganronpa has cool characters but I don't like the gameplay at all (in the first, haven't played Goodbye Despair)
The originals had as well..lol
Well per se not hating but they are becoming way too overrated now that everyone and their company makes them.
Also survival games are getting way too hyped
Activision has Skylanders, Disney has Infinity, and Nintendo Amiibos. Not a lot.
Fallout 3 is a terrible game.
