-I think competitive shooters are a coward's game

-Naughty Dog became terrible game developers starting with this gen

-The only game shown at Sony's press conference that looked even remotely interesting was God of War Ascension

-The best game of E3 2012 was Pikmin 3 by a longshot

-Despite my dislike for shooters and 360 being the only current gen console I do not own, Halo 4 looked more interesting than anything at Sony's conference

-Sony's first party games are mostly mediocre. My PS3 is almost exclusively used for multiplats

-Devil May Cry 4 is the best hack n Slash this gen

-Super Mario 64 was groundbreaking, but it wasn't a very good game

-The Pikmin games are the best games I've ever played

-Assassin's Creed II was a very poor game. No interesting missions and clunky controls really bogged everything down. The next game looks to fix all that though and I anticipate it's release.

-Batman Arkham City is the only game I've played that truly deserves the honour of a 10/10 score this gen

• Video games of this generation need to stop trying to imitate Michael Bay. Sick and tired of 'set pieces' in which you have very little control.
• I think MGS3 is the worst MGS game. The bosses are just plain lazy. A guy that can fire bees at you? Stupid, even by Hideo Kojima's standards.
• I think Resident Evil: Revelations is the best RE game of all time. It has the excellent gameplay of RE4 mixed with the tense atmosphere of the original PS1 games.
• Alan Wake is one of the worst video games I've ever played. Pretentious drivel narrative and repetitive as hell gameplay.
• I am completely burned out on shooters. I felt the same about platformers back in the late 1990s when every game tried to copy Mario 64. Now it seems developers are scared to stray away form the Call of Duty template.
• I don't care for achievements. I play games to make my own fun, not to be told exactly what to do for a meaningless reward.
• I don't enjoy Valve games. I found Half-Life 1 & 2 inexlicably dull (with the latter having way too many physics puzzles). I respect Portal for being a smart and well-designed game, but don't enjoy playing it.
• I'm bored to death of zombies. It's time for a new enemy.
• I think the Wii version of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is the best Silent Hill game ever made.

I agree with pretty much everything you said. I tried playing MGS3 for about 2 hours and the gameplay was not that fun along with the hour-long cutscenes, so I returned it. I don't own a 360/PS3 because of the cinematic focus of so many games. I can care less about achievements and shooters too. I haven't played RE Revelations yet but I want to eventually.

Grand Theft Auto IV and Metal Gear Solid 4 are two of the best games ever.

[QUOTE="parkurtommo"] So what doesn't suck?Fossil-

If a game is fun, I'll play it. <- Yes, this is an unpopular gaming opinion.

Although lacking in content, I found Operation Raccoon City to be quite an enjoyable game.

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes is the best of the trilogy.

Valve, and more importantly, Left 4 Dead, is extremely overrated.

Resident Evil 6 looks amazing.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is the best in the series.

Zombie games are ruined by clunky controls and sh!tty gameplay mechanics that are perceived as 'realistic' by developers.

[QUOTE="Fossil-"][QUOTE="themajormayor"] Demon's Souls, Uncharted (1 & 2), Portal, Europa Universalis, Deus EX, Killzone. That's pretty much it. Skyrim is ok

themajormayor

I have heard this a lot. That they made it hard just for the sake of it and because the game was notorious for it.

Anyway I'm still confused how you think Killzone doesn't suck. 1 and 2 maybe but 3 was pretty meh

[QUOTE="themajormayor"][QUOTE="Fossil-"] I'm not trying to argue with you, but it boggles my mind how you came to the opinion that: Demon's Souls is good, Skyrim is OK, Dark Souls sucksseanmcloughlin

I only played 3. But it was just the best gun play I've experienced. And combined with great set pieces and the best graphics on consoles it was enough for me. Also I don't think the story was that bad assuming it wasn't 100% serious.

RDR could have been 10 times better if it was on PC. Oh wait, that's completely obvious.jimmyrussle117

RDR could have been 10 times better if it was on PC. Oh wait, that's completely obvious.jimmyrussle117

Judging by their port of GTA IV it wouldn't have been much better at all. Max Payne 3 was much better cos it was linear but their open world ports suffer from horrible optimisation. RDR has far more problems than that.

I find all of the games Bethesda develops to be overrated tripe.

The Arkham games are good and fun - and certainly the best Batman games - but they're not some of the greatest games of all time or even this gen.

MGS 4 and GTA IV are indeed two of the best games of all time.

Mass Effect 2 is the worst game in the trilogy (barring 3's horrible ending, maybe).

-Blizzard and Bioware fanboys are the worst there are.

-the Halo series has terrible level design

-Gears of war is the worst franchise this generation.

-Diablo 3 is not as good as 2 was and is

-Torchlight 2 has better everything than diablo 3, that's including graphics and scale.

I'm sure I can think of some more, but thats what I have for now.

RDR could have been 10 times better if it was on PC. Oh wait, that's completely obvious.jimmyrussle117

But it's not on PC.

I enjoyed Duke Nukem Forever!

I enjoyed Rage!

Max Payne 3 is doing my head in with the 2 minutes playtime and 4 minute trippy cut scene gameplay

I've played through all the Halo and Gears games and they all suck! God only knows why I keep buying them. I'll even buy Halo 4 (the only outing my xbox 360 will get this year)

The best multiplayer fps's ever are Day of Defeat 1.3 and Couter Strike, in that order.

I play all types of games.

I'm getting old! :(

The Witcher 2 is better than Deus Ex:HR.

1) With skyrocketing development prices developers are getting too scared to take chances and therefore producing formulaic games. Elimination of used games would allow developers to take more chances.Boddicker

I agree with everything said there except for Arkham City being the only game that deserves 10/10. But yeah.

cainetao11

thats not unpoular at all

TW 2 was one of the best games last year, at least far better than skyrim

I never really liked or cared about Mario and Zelda games,from what I played never thought they were very good,but I can see the appeal for fans of that kind of games.

I can't think of any.

I guess this is also an unpopular opinion: SMG 1 & 2 were garbage.. Or is that actually popular? :p

Also, I thought Arkham City was very disappointing. I hated how the goons would never shut up, an Batman would constantly hear them chattering on about stuff whilst exploring. It ruined the atmosphere of the game completely.

It's a shame, because I really enjoyed Akrham Asylum. I didn't even bother playing City through to the end (I stopped just after Mr. Freeze, which was a pretty good boss fight).

• Halo is the best FPS on the console for its universe and soundtrack as well as forge, theater, multiplayer, and campaign. It truly is the deepest FPS experience on the console.
• Gears is the best TPS on the console for fluid cover mechanics, deep multiplayer, and outstanding co-op in both Beast/Horde Mode. As well as a gratifying campaign in which every gib feels really good.
• Forza is the best racing game on the console with more than just boring simulation, but fun at every turn. It has soccer, bowling, AutoVista, and car imports across games as well as many other features.

[QUOTE="jimmyrussle117"]RDR could have been 10 times better if it was on PC. Oh wait, that's completely obvious.Badosh

Uncharted is a mediocre series, and the writing is nothing special.

Final Fantasy VII is not overrated.

No game other than SMG2 deserved a 10 this gen, with the possible exception of StarCraft II.

BioWare hasn't made a legitimately great game since the original KOTOR.

Obsidian> BioWare

Bethesda hasn't made a good game since Morrowind, let alone a great one.

Prototype > inFamous

Burnout and Need For Speed > Gran Turismo/Forza

Valve has never made a good game. Period.

Half-Life is the most overrated franchise in existence.

Halo Reach > Halo 3

Treyarch > Infinity Ward

The PS3 may have a ton of exclusives, but almost none of them are worth playing, and not one of the ones that are are the best in their genre.

A high player count does not make a shooter good, or more sophisticated.

Capcom's fighting games suck, with the exception of 3rd Strike.

Vanilla/BC-era WoW was probably the single greatest game ever made, and easily the best MMO of all time.

The last truly great Zelda game was Twilight Princess.

Twilight Princess > The Wind Waker

Metal Gear Solid has terrible writing. Fun games, though.

Raven Software was ridiculously underrated.

Assassin's Creed sucks.

Demon's Souls is not hard.

A Link to the Past is not that good.

Vice City > San Andreas

I can't think of any.

On this board they're unpopular. I hope they are popular opinions, honestly. As that would give them more weight.

Wow, you guys really suck at having opinions. :P

Nintendo is the best of the three
I don't like Final Fantasy
The top down GTA games are better than the 3D ones
Wind Waker is the best Zelda
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes is better than MP3:C

There's probably more..

I like Move. I said it.getyeryayasout
