Unpopular gaming opinions

[DarkDesertFox]

I'm tired of people using Sonic as an annoying meme. I grew up loving the Sonic games and now all I hear is "Sanic!" "gota go fast!" and then all these weird pictures floating around of him. I thought it was funny the first couple times I saw it, but then I realized how big of a thing it was and now it really irritates me. Imagine your childhood hero being turned into that.

"It's-a me, Mario!"
"Sei, yagh, hyaagh!"
"Show me your moves!" / "FALCON PUNCH!"
"Do a barrel roll!"

Spoiler: and who can forget

HI I'M DAISY​

You can say this about any franchise where certain lines are repeated ad infinitum by fans. Not just Sonic.

Also, I'd like to point out that part of it might the quality of the games. They are fairly high profile due to Sonic being a popular icon, yet the games are crap 9 out of 10 times. People keep wailing on about Hotel Mario and the Zelda CD-i games, Metroid: Other M, and more recently, about Donte from DmCMC. They all show the same symptoms. A series known for being good getting a crap entry (or even a few), and then people start making fun of it en masse.

I'm going to buy FFX for the PS4 and play the **** out of it because it deserves to be remade and I love the game to pieces.

What about things like Lonk: Hero of Pennsylvania, Dankey Kang or the hundreds and thousands of videos/pictures where Mario is an violent psychopath addicted to magic mushrooms?


Lot's of things are turned into popular overused stupid memes...I think the bigger 'issue' is that they're memes of a character that otherwise is regarded as having terrible games.
It's less 'bitter' when you make jokes about The Legend of Zelda or Mario because pretty much all of their games are generally pretty well liked so it obviously more of a joke rather than an insult, but it seems more like an attack on Sonic because his games are mostly regarded as awful abominations.



























But yea;

I'm so sick of the items in Smash not working half the time. Like, the Poke Balls (even the Master Balls!) spitting out Goldeens, the Hammers not working, the Lightning backfiring, etc. Like, can I please get an item that doesn't completely screw me over every other time?

That's my point. Due to the recent Sonic games being of such low quality, the Sonic meme has grown bigger and now Sonic as a whole is viewed as a joke. I'm very well aware of the many gaming memes/phrases. The Sonic memes that are commonly used are directed to insult the series in comparison to "Falcon Punch!" where it's used more as a fun phrase to shout. I'm personally a fan of the older Sonic games that were made up until 2006 anyways. Not so much with the new ones. SEGA's latest Sonic games have only made Sonic's reputation worse.

As hilarious/cringe worthy that scene is it doesn't deter me from buying the game for the third time in my life lol.

That one felt the most comparable. All that artwork that people did that came out of Deviant Art of Mario with an angry veiny face squishing a goomba with brains coming out with some gigantic drug reference shoved in. All of them looked the same. Yawn. Cool theory about the series but everyone ran it until the wheels fell off.

Really don't understand why people bash this scene so hard.
Yes, it sounds terrible, but Yuna is explaining to Tidus that she has to fake it/put on a front of happiness and joy as part of her job as a Summoner. To inspire hope into the people of Spira. The problem is Tidus isn't good at faking it. It's a really important scene for the story. Notice how the rest of the party doesn't react at all? They know this little moment of fun/happiness for Yuna is one of the few moments like that she'll ever get.

I feel ya there. Although Sonic Generations was pretty awesome. I enjoyed that one enough to write a review for it.

 

[Alienfish]

Yeah.. I actually agree there. FF X is a brilliant game and yes that scene has some meaning ._. Hell the game itself is somewhat underrated these days

When everything finally comes together and you figure out the true meaning/purpose of Yuna's pilgrimage....THAT MOMENT is what made the game for me. Thinking back to all the "odd" moments that were confusing for Tidus, and they suddenly made a ton of sense.

FFX really had one of the best story lines in the series.

 

[Alienfish]

Yes it had, so much. Damn I might get it for Vita again just cause.

I wasn't trying to bash the scene. I said cringe worthy because of how ridiculous the laughing sounded. Have you seen it in Japanese? They sound like crows xD I always found it to be touching and rather cute.

Well it's supposed to be fake laughter? uh.

 

[oath2order]

that's not how laughter works.

That's not what the scene was about. I explained it in my initial post about it. Yes, the laughter was terrible. No one is arguing that. The point is most people miss the point of the scene entirely and just bash the laughter.

 

[oath2order]

K but the scenewas bad too

You obviously don't get it do you... or you are bored.

 

[Mioki]

Lmao right now I can't

 

[Jaebeommie]

That I understand. And I understand the point of the scene. I'm just saying the fake laughter is cringe worthy in a funny way. Not tring to bash it in any way.

Point being I love every bit of this game and I can't wait for the PS4 release. It's my number one favorite game.
