Unpopular gaming opinions

I don't think the scoring was bad at all. The fact that they said "too much water" as a legit argument though...
What I don't understand is why people still make such a big deal over one review score/source. There are hundreds of ways to find information about a game. Youtube, twitch, reddit, etc are just a few examples. I'm not saying IGN is right or wrong, I just think if people disagree with what they say, go find someone else and get a second opinion.

What specifically made it "literally the worst game"?
I thought they were both great for their time. I prefer the design of those games where it's "open" world and you have to get stars/sprites across several stages to open up more areas in the main world.
Today's game just aren't as fun to me because stages go by so quickly and the game feels more fast paced and abbreviated. I enjoyed exploring the castle and Delfino Square when I wasn't doing missions in the old games. Now it's much more 'go from point A to B to C' and you can't doing anything else in between.
Not saying I hate them, it's just not as fun to me.
I don't think linear games are bad. I actually prefer games that are linear - I feel like they tell a better story.
Agreed.
Agreed.
The reaction to the score IGN gave to ORAS wasn't even the worst around. I've brought it up a few times, but people lost their collective **** when GameSpot gave TLOZ: Twilight Princess an 8.8, and wanted the reviewer to be fired. I never understood why, since for a game that has more haters than lovers, that's a fantastic score.

You must be a ****ty player if you can die easily in Super Mario 64
Oh my god, right?
For starters there was more life bar in that game than Galaxy (by default) and there were less enemies. Even drowning was hard to do.
I'm having that issue now with the Wonderful 101. I'm considering getting it from Club Nintendo so I've been looking at reviews for it.
Most of the reviewers say how tough it is to do simple mechanics in the game or keep track of everything during gameplay. I go to the comments and it's a bunch of people shouting how the reviewer just sucks at the game or is a ****** who doesn't know how to play games and should go back to Call of Duty, etc etc.
It's frustrating too, because I don't know who to believe and just want a good, honest review without all the juvenile BS to go through.
Some reviewers just want to find something to complain about. Kamiya is known for being an ass to reviewers (and some fans), so that might be pissing them off. Either that, or the people in the comments are right, and they don't know how vidya gaems work.
I think the best indication of whether or not you'd enjoy W101 is how many other games by Kamiya you've enjoyed playing. Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, Okami, Viewtiful Joe... It's a small list, but I know I've forgotten a few. If you enjoyed a few of his games, you'll likely enjoy W101. Its difficulty is a bit higher than some of his other games, but that's why there's a difficulty setting I'd imagine. The difficulty of controls and the amount of stuff you need to pay attention to are kinda comparable to DMC/Bayo.
Oh I didn't realize that about Kamiya. I'd shrug it off if it was just one or two comments but it seems like so many people are piling on some of these reviews, and getting highly upvoted too. It's a case where players give it a much higher rating than reviewers it seems.
I have Viewtiful Joe, so maybe I'll go back and play it to get a better idea.
I only have 660 coins, so it was either get just W101 or get a couple smaller games. I'm leaning toward getting EarthBound (only 250 coins) and two other games as of now, but we'll see.
Doesn't Wonderful 101 have a Demo on the eShop? That's always the best place to look if one is available.
As for reviews, I find it hard to trust them. They're not great for a start since they pretty much revolve around subjective opinion, so the review wouldn't necessarily reflect whether you would like the game (especially when it comes to something like difficulty). Then we get the people looking to generate page views with a purposely controversial review, or companies paying for good reviews (like Ubisoft). Hell, it's the internet, these days anybody can leave a review and a lot of people are simply just stupid.
I pretty much look at reviews just to see whether a game has any gamebreaking issues. Aside from that, practically all my games I've bought simply because they looked fun and I've enjoyed them all without really reading a review.

Look who you quoted though. That girl hates everything but herself and can't play anything but Hyperboring Nepboobia. She responds to every single persons disdain for games, she needs to meet up with Cory and put peanut butter on each others feet.
I'll check it out if it does, thanks!
It's one of the main reasons I use Twitch to look at new games. I like finding people who are playing the game not for personal gain or to be some youtube celebrity, but just to play it. Let's plays on youtube with minimal or no commentary can be a good source too.
you fkr fight me irl i will nose off and put it on your butt

Lol, such is the internet. Yeah I mean Drakengard has an interesting plot but I did not like the execution or game play so I just stopped playing it.
I died all the time when I played Super Mario 64... But that was over 10 years ago. Plus it's still debated if I suck at games among my friends
