Unpopular gaming opinions

I don't think the Gamecube controller was that great at all. The buttons were either oddly placed, shaped or uncomfortable (hated those triggers) and the lack of a real 2nd analog stick was a total disadvantage to some games (Metroid Prime). It also bothered me that it only had 1 'bumper' (Z button).
The controller did it's job I guess for the most part, but pretty much every other console was doing it better.
At least with the PS2 I never felt that the controller gimped the enjoyment of certain games (again, Metroid Prime).

☂ I haven't liked any Sonic games since his Sega Genesis days.
☂ (I don't know if this is exactly unpopular but) I want more games where you get to play as a dinosaur, rather than being a human out to hunt them.
☂ I'd like to see the Nintendogs franchise branch out into games with less fuzzy critters like reptiles, amphibians and birds.
☂ While I have fun with the game, SSB4 feels like it contains a lot less than Brawl. =u
☂ I liked the Gameboy Camera. :B

That was a problem for me. I feel that you shouldn't have to 'get used' to a controller. Almost anything is comfortable once you've gotten used to it. My sofa is hard, so people complain and choose to sit on the floor instead when they come to my house, but I've gotten used to it despite having the same complaint at first.
I 'got used' to the Gamecube controller, as I did with the N64 controller and the 360 controller. If I touch any of those controllers these days after significant time not touching them it feels 'off'.
I didn't own a PS3 for about 6 years into its release and didn't touch another Sony console within that period, yet the PS3 control felt 'right' instantly when I bought one (aside from the nasty triggers). I hadn't touched a Wiimote or Nunchuck at all until 3/4 months ago, to which I pretty much instantly decided they were some of the most comfortable controllers I've ever held.
To expand on this, I want more games where you play as 'the monster/the bad guy' as a whole. Like an Alien game where you play as the Alien hunting Whatshername rather than Whatsername running from the Alien (basically Alien Isolation with the roles reversed), or even like a Mario game where you play as Bowser trying to stop Mario from rescuing Peach.
Or more stuff like 'Dogs Life' on PS2 where you played as a Dog and did dog stuff like poop and dig holes, with your super sense of smell being an important gameplay element. I don't mean a trashy shovelware simulator on Steam like 'GoatSimulator', I mean a fully developed game with an actual story, actual progression and things to actually do...Like 'Dogs Life'.
I would love to see that implemented into more games. While it can be fun to play as "the hero", sometimes a spin on perspective is nice. Because to a dragon the knight is the villain.
As far as the example goes, considering how much I love the xenomorphs from ALIEN, I would absolutely freak if I got to control one! xD
Wait you liked the Wiimote + Nunchuck combo? Now that, is an unpopular gaming opinion haha I'm SO glad for the gamepad/WiiU pro. The nunchuck is horrid to me, I always disapproved of the cord and it felt cheap and hallow, which it basically is. The Wii remote is alright though. I don't really hate it, but the nunchuck. I pray Nintendo doesn't do something like that ever again.
The thread's subject matter is completely beside the point. If you're referring to Neptunia, I think they're trash as well. The point of the matter is that in your mind, a person pointing out your claims as being hyperbole and utterly false deserves them being attacked on a personal level.
You're an ********. That's all there is to it.

While I agree that they shouldn't do something like that again, my issue was never with the way the controllers were designed. They were a bit dynamic, and I liked the idea behind them. The thing about them that bothered me was that they sucked my batteries dry in record time. If it hadn't been for that, I would have played more Wii games.

Yea, that's pretty unpopular xD Though I meant more about the way it felt in my hands.
As an actual controller though, I would have easily preferred something more 'traditional'.
It was annoying for games such as Twilight Princess where you don't really have to point it at the screen 95% of the time, so you relax, get comfortable and stop pointing it at it...Then you have to aim your bow and frustration starts as you're trying to point the Wiimote in the right place so that the sensors pick it up -.-
I think it helps that I didn't own a Wii though, so I've only played Wii games on my Wii U. It's less of a thing that I have to live with for an entire console generation and more of a nice change when I get bored of my Wii U games.
That may or may not be true, but can we not just ignore them? I like this thread.
I found the battery life to be pretty decent. I got through Mario Galaxy and almost all of Twilight Princess (I need to stop mentioning that game...) on the same pair of batteries. So, like, around 50 hours I would estimate, which I consider pretty good at least...Especially from a '?1 Store'.
My problem was finding a legit rechargeable battery for it, especially since I try not to buy 3rd party peripherals unless I have absolutely no other option.
It could be argued that they were hard to find because I came to the 'Wii party' about 6 years too late, but my friend had the Wii since launch and said that it was a hassle trying to get a legit rechargeable battery then as well.
The Wii is hipster. It was having shortages for things way before Amiibo made it cool.

Well playing as the villain is somewhat more common than it used to be...But almost always no different from being the hero aside from story. There just needs to be more games where you're not a human or something resembling a human (anything anthropomorphic).
The 'Alien Vs Predator' games were good, but they weren't what I wanted from an Alien game.
I just want some sort of Alien game that somewhat resembles the films more closely but from the perspective of the Alien. You have to do 'Alien things' to get through 'whatever an Alien would do in a story' in a totally stealth based game. You have to kill people, but its less button mashing and more 'Hitman' styled picking off targets secretly.
A 'Zombie U' styled thing where if you die you come back as a chestburster and carry on from there and grow back to an adult Xenomorph would be cool. It could also be encouraged to 'kidnap' people and 'infect them' with a chestburster as a sort of lives system.

What. If my batteries lasted 10 hours, then I was lucky. It didn't matter what kind of brand I used either, they just ran out quick. Rechargeable batteries were the worst, I could literally set those to charge after just two or three hours of playing.
The batteries I bought are obviously made from plutonium then xD
But I must have just bought abnormally good batteries and an abnormally power efficient Wiimote then.
It could have something to do with that mine is one of the newer Wiimotes released specifically to go with the Wii U, but I don't know if there's any actual difference between it and the older Wiimotes aside from the box it came in having a Wii U logo on it.

You know what else would make batteries last much longer? You actually have to take them out every single time you're done playing with Wii/Wii U. I'm not even kidding here, as the Wii Remote does still sap a lot of the batteries even if the peripheral isn't active.
I literally try to avoid Wii games that use the Nunchuck. Metroid... that's gonna be a doozy. Oh unless classic controller works then we're cleared. That's always a nice thing, cause Sonic Colors was a lot easier to control with the classic controller than with "standard" controls.
Kodak Xtralife. Got like 16 of 'em for ?1.

Oh wow, So many spoilers that I thought it would go on forever!
Seriously though, I totally agree with you 100%.
I haven't plot reset even once, and I prefer to just play the game naturally. Plus, a lot of my favorite villagers are "tier 4-5"
With the exception of like 2, maybe 3 of my villagers, I will let the others move out in favor of meeting fresh faces.
