Unpopular opnions thread

I think Zelda OOT deserves a 6/10 at best.

I played the game for the first time 2 days ago and I was highly disappointed.I quit after starting the quest for the tree.

call_of_duty_10

Dante's Inferno is one of my fav games this gen ^^ My tastes in games differ from most here, so pretty much all of my opinions are unpopular

All opinions are unpopular !!

Gears 3 was straight up doo doo! It's garbage and insanely over rated. Gran Turismo>Forza Halo Reach sucked Zelda and Uncharted>>>>Any 360 exclusive I've ever played PS3 & Wii >>>>>>360 Come at me lemmings!trippleC3

Not only is the bolded part unpopular, but it's crazy.

Good to see the love for GTA4.It is the best in the series.I can't even go back to previous GTA games.

[QUOTE="jjccjj92"]

Call of Duty is like the worst game ever.

Am I doing it right?

mems_1224

I'm in the same boat as you :/

GT5 is a better racing sim than Forza 3kuraimen

Uncharted sucks

Zelda sucks

Half Life sucks

SMG2 worse platformer than LBP2

Obama sucks

Democrats sucks

Atheists sucks

Republican sucks

Theists sucks

I liked both Twilight Princess and Zelda ll.

I'm not a fan of the LittleBigPlanet, Killzone, and Resistance series.

I don't like most racing games.

Tatsunoko vs Capcom >>>>>>>> SFIV

I found Mirror's Edge to be incredibley boring.

Wii Sports Resort is one of the best sports games this gen.

Bully is the only Rockstar game I have enjoyed.

Sonic Colors is better than the Adventure games.

Controllers > KB/M.

Oh the hate I'll get for this...

OoT is the worst Zelda game (along with Spirit Tracks).

Final Fantasy 8 is the best Final Fantasy.

Traditional fighters as a whole suck.

Shooters haven't been fun in years (because they're all exactly the same).

I'll make a actual list since this thread isn't dying:

Great 2D sprites look better than great 3D models

Even with poor/non-existent stories RPGs can still be good

Diablo 1/2/3 is a poor mans roguelike

Western developers were better than the Japanese in the 1980s and in some cases in the 1990s. However Western developers started trying too hard to appeal to everyone that they could, making their games worse (but there are still good western games).

Fans of WRPGs complain about JRPGs not evolving when WRPGs have gotten worse over the years because of "evolution"

First-person Dungeon Crawlers are better than any extremely cinematic RPG

Choices and consequences make RPGs better, but are not needed

Gamers complain too much about difficulty

Shadow Tower Abyss will always be the best From Software RPG

Atlus USA sold out

Old video games where you die in one hit are not broken, you just suck

There are very few cheap video games and situations that are actually cheap. Those who call a video game cheap are just insulting the game to "cover up" their loss.

Arcade games have more replayability than 98% of the games that come out today

System Wars does not hate everything that's popular, they only talk about popular games

JRPGs and WRPGs are not genres, this isn't even an opinion I'm just putting this here

Batman AA has terrible combat, mashing one button is not fun

Persona 3/4 weren't good and Persona fans are just getting milked

Puzzles should only be in puzzle games

Fighting games don't need to be perfectly balanced

It doesn't matter if a game has some crappy moe art style

Hard difficulties in most games are just tacked on without any thought

I rather have no story than a story that's shoved down my throat

Blazblue fans are going to get milked just as bad as Street Fighter fans

Yearly releases are fine if the games are quality

Adding collectibles for replay value is just lazy

Indie WRPGs are the best WRPGs these days

When you say "____ is the best ____ ever!" you need to play more games

Controllers > KB/M.

Oh the hate I'll get for this...

TrapJak

Not from me. Agree 100%. Controllers are just more comfortable, and analog sticks are more precise than WASD for movement.

Oblivion was the greatest game ever made.

Multiplats, since they make up the majority of games, should be how we judge the systems. Judging solely exclusives is like basing the value of rocks on a few diamonds.

Gaming now is as good as it's ever been.

There is no clear graphics king on consoles. The fact that there's a debate proves parity.

romans828_2002

I totally forgot a few

Half Life is really overrated. Not just the first, but the entire series.

Mortal Kombat is the best fighting series

Uncharted sucks

Zelda sucks

Half Life sucks

SMG2 worse platformer than LBP2

Obama sucks

Democrats sucks

Atheists sucks

Republican sucks

Theists sucks

SquirrelTamer

And concordance between nouns and verbs sucks as well, I see.

(It depends on your definition of "Choices" and "Consequences." If you're talking about story elements, yes. If you're talking about gameplay elements, no. Games with choices + consequences in terms of gameplay are inherently better than those that are 100% linear and predetermined.)

(True... what constitutes an "RPG" is completely subjective. Also, just because something is Japanese doesn't make it a different genre)

Batman AA has terrible combat, mashing one button is not fun

(I've never played the game so I wouldn't know)

Persona 3/4 weren't good and Persona fans are just getting milked

I bolded everything that I agree with. Sentences that are in a different color are my comments.

People who think Bethesda has made a good RPG this gen know nothing of RPGs and should be excluded from any kind of discussion on the matter.

Military "realistic" FPSs are a joke compared to arena FPSs.

Ok, here goes:

3D Worms is better than 2D Worms.

Oblivion is a fantastic game.

GTA San Andreas was a very fun game, but not necessarily a very good game.

Age of Empires III is better than Age of Empires II, especially with expansions.

Wind Waker is the worst 3D Zelda game to date by a considerable margin.

BioShock 2 is better than BioShock 1 in every way except graphics and originality.

Mirror's Edge is overrated if anything.

Online multiplayer is highly unpleasant.

Crysis 2 is a pretty good game; it's just not a very good sequel to Crysis.

Half-Life 2 suffers from very weak moments which bring the whole experience down.

There is plenty of originality in the FPS genre.

The Need For Speed series died with Underground.

Read at your own risk, because my opinions are extremely unpopular, will probably piss most of you off, and know, I will never budge from them either. You've been warned...

Genesis>SNES
Sonic>Mario, DK, etc.
Streets of Rage 2 is the greatest game of all time, without question. Not only that, but all other beat 'em up series like Turtles in Time, Double Dragon, and Final Fight are trash in comparison. Not to say they aren't good though...
Mario 64 sucks compared to the SMG series
Open World does not equal superior
Nintendo and MS do more for gaming than Sony
PS2 is the most overrated console of all time, and the worst platform last gen if you weren't crazy for cutscenes and JRPGS
MGS represents everything gaming shouldn't be
Valve is lazy as hell, and makes games based off mods more than anything else
Blizzard has always been overrated, namely because anyone who has a computer that just turns on can run their games
PC gaming has fallen off a cliff this gen compared to what it used to be.
Skyrim will receive 10's, but then two months down the line it will be regarded as "Oblvion 2" and receive hate similar to GTAIV and MGS4
Dice is full of **** and BF3 will be nothing like BF2. They like so many other PC developers have sold out.
N64> PS1
360 and the PS3 have no worthwhile exclusives, and the Wii annihilates them in this category
The differences between the 360 and ps3 are minuscule since multiplats rule this gen
Shadow of the Colossus sucks
Okami sucks. People who claimed it was on the same level or better than Zelda, I have no idea what you were thinking.
Gary's Mod sucks
Minecraft sucks
Dragon Age sucks, and yes, the PC version too
Stalker sucks, and Stalker 2 will be consolized
All Rockstar games suck
Wind Waker sucked deku nuts, and is the worst 3D Zelda by far. Hell, Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks are better.
Age of Mythology>Starcraft and Warcraft III
Mass Effect 2 is an ACTION RPG, not a shooter
COD1 was the best COD
Battlefront wasn't that great, and there are way better Star Wars series that deserve a sequel
PSP was horrendous, and the Vita will probably be the same
The DS isn't the greatest handheld of all time, and all the previous Game Boys were better
Gaming doesn't automatically get better each gen. That is a lie, and probably rhetoric of someone who lives life wearing horse blinders, or just wasn't alive at the time in the first place.

I hate Gears of War!!!!

• A lot of people think this gen is filled with a lot of crap. I disagree and think this gen has produced more quality titles than any gen previously.
• Final Fantasy XII is my favorite Final Fantasy.
• Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is one of my favorite games of this generation and is underrated.
• There are quite a few Pokemon (design-wise) in Black/White that are just as good, if not better than a lot of Pokemon from previous generations.
• There are very few exclusives on the PS3 and 360 that match up to the amazing multiplats.
• My favorite games this gen are as follows:
  
  • Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
  • Batman: Arkham Asylum
  • Dead Space 1/2
  • Bioshock 1/2
  • Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
• I feel that the industry should keep working towards a good narrative structure for video games. Too many gamers just don't want a story at all it seems like.
• Bayonetta wasn't fun.

Well one unpopular opinion I have on here is that I think PS3 and 360 multiplats look and play EXACTLY the same and I don't think one is "superior" to the other, well at least in 90% of cases anyway. Certainly in rare cases like Bayonetta, but otherwise I think they are exactly the same. And for some reason my opinion pisses people off on here (particularly the lemmings).

Asfor gamesgo, I think COD is more fun than BF, San Andreas was better than GTA4 and remains the best open world game ever, Bethesda is the bestRPG developer ever, Halo 3 was dissapointing and I think COD and Killzone 2/3 are better (but Reach is great),Ilike PSN better than Xbox Live, and I think Nintndo needs to get with the times and make a better system that isn't based around a gimmick, they can keep the Wii and WiiUfor that crowd, but make an actual controllerthatisn't motion control and games that take advantage of system power for the rest of us.

King's Bounty series, Dragon Age Origins, Neverwinter Nights 2, Drakensang, The Witcher, The Witcher 2.

Marvel vs capcom 2>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>MVC3

Blazblue CT & CC>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> SFIV

2D fighting games>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2.5D fighting games

Metal Gear Solid series is ridiculous tripe.

Resident Evil 5 >>> Resident Evil 4

This gen >>>> any other gen (and ya, I've been gaming since the Coleco Vision)

2D fighting games> 2.5D fighting games

Smash-in-3d

Only difference is graphical.

Other than that, it's the same damn thing.

Oblivion and Mass effect are horrible games

They both had completely broken combat and crappy story

NIER is the best game this gen

Console gaming is superior to PC gaming. And soon the graphics and physics gaps between the two will be bridged with the new xbox and playstation.

Oh yeah, and HALO is my favorite game of all time.

Now that's a little harsh...

Half Life 2 is a 7/10 at best.

MGS4 is not good and doesn't feel like a true MGS game at all

HAHA so true.

Yeah you're right :P I don't get why they try to have 2D and 3D together.

Because there are honestly people that look upon sprites as childish or toony. Some people even say sprites as good as KOFXIII looks like something from the PS1 days.

And 3D is easier to do.

I liked Tomb Raider: Underworld more than Uncharted 1 and 2.

Games like Uncharted 2 are a de-evoltion of gaming
