What are some unpopular gaming opinions you have?

Wii had the best exclusives this gen and if it wasn't for 3rd parties ps3 and 360 would be pointless.

Assassin's Creed is the best new franchise this gen.

Halo, while fun, is vastly overrated.

New Super Mario Bros series is amazing.

Final Fantasy XIII was actually great. My favorite final fantasy.

Square enix is not as bad as everyone makes them out to be, but yeah they can improve.

capcom/ea/activison are not evil corporatons.

Aside from its multiplayer mode, Halo 2 sucks. The story mode is terrible and none of the guns feel very powerful.

The dual shock controller is uncomfortable and I wish Sony would change it at least a little bit.

Castlevania Lords of Shadow is a through and through castlevania game.

Most of nintendos old guard franchises are stale and nintendo themselves aren't very good these days

The new DMC looks like a great game despite the haters, and really speaking if capcom had made it that way without NT most people wouldn't be crying right now.

Most of the exclusive games on consoles aren't very good.

Most of this is taken off the top of my head, and some of these don't necessarily have anything to do with gaming more than gaming communities, but here goes.

I've grown tired of seeing words like "Overrated," "Hardcore," or "Casual." Their meanings (If they ever had one) are routinely twisted so much to fit the individual saying them that they cease to contain any merit. For the same reason, I also dislike seeing the 1,000th incarnation of the "What do you think is overrated" thread in every gaming message board ever*.

Japan is still king when it comes to making games that are fun and memorable. Most of my favorite games from this generation have been developed by Japanese companies.

On a related note, most western developers cannot make memorable music to save their lives.

Golden Sun is an average RPG franchise with only good music going for it.

The ending to Red Dead Redemption felt forced and rendered most of the story pointless.

The writing in Portal isn't as funny as people make it out to be. Cave Johnson is amazing, however.

Xenoblade Chronicles is not a revolutionary game. It's still pretty good, though.

Everything after the first third of Okami felt random and forced. It's like the developers didn't know how they wanted the game to end, so they just kept padding out the length. Okamiden was better at this, but still.

Handheld Zelda games do not hold a candle to their console counterparts.

The real reason trolls are so prevalent on System Wars is because people (even the veteran members) continuously feed them instead of ignoring them. Seriously, everyone. Stop. Feeding. The. Trolls.

That's it for now. Feels good to get some of that off my chest.

*I am well aware of the irony of this statement.

GTA games are lame. I hate open world game ie FF, Oblivion, Assassin's Creed etc. I think paying to play online is lame and not company should charge for it, now matter what it offers to pay. Halo 4 should be on PS3 because Bungie broke away from Xbox exclusively. PS3 is a better console than the 360 or Wii.

Oh and motion controls are a gimmick and I do own The Move controllers.

This, and you can add the qualifications 'fun' and 'boring' to that. Saying you like/dislike a game because it is fun/boring essentially is circular reasoning.

HALO was a milestone for shooters.

RED FACTION is a excellent franchise. (especially the first game)

JRPGS are really really strange and I don't understand anything about them.

Consoles don't entertain me.

Wii had the best exclusives this gen and if it wasn't for 3rd parties ps3 and 360 would be pointless.

Assassin's Creed is the best new franchise this gen.

That's a pretty popular opinion around here.

Oh yeah, and the word overrated is overrated.

Completly agree, I don't even use the word overrated anymore.

Of course a game is going to seem overrated if all you go off of is the people praising it.

Oh yeah, and PC gaming is a pain in the neck.

The graphics in Assassins Creed 2 are absolutely ugly.

Arkham Aslyum had a more engaging and atmospheric plot than Arkham City.

The Force Unleashed had fun engaging combat and a fantastic story.

Modern Warfare 2 was better than Modern Warfare 1 in every way.

World of Warcraft is just uninteresting. Very dull and even dated now.

Assassin's Creed sucks.DarkLink77

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"]Assassin's Creed sucks.themajormayor

Metroid Other M is a great game

Splinter Cell Conviction is awesome

Spyborgs is pretty fun and is a good game

Tenchu Shadow Assassins is great

Singularity is one of the most fun shooters of this generation

Fable II and III are really fun and vastly underrated

The Wii is the most fun system of this generation

Perfect Dark Zero is a great game

Tomb Raider Anniversary is the best Tomb Raider

Sonic and the Secret Rings is the best Sonic game in years

Final Fantasy XIII is great

The older Resident Evil's are really easy to control

Mario Kart Double Dash is the best Mario Kart

Tekken 6 is better than all the other Tekken's

Resident Evil 5 is a really good game

the whole Zelda series suck

Gta 4 and RDR were boring as hell

Resident evil 4 was boring

Platinum games can't make a good game even if their life was depending on it

god of war 3 and metal gear solid 4 was just not as good as their prequel

That's all I can think of

[QUOTE="themajormayor"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"]Assassin's Creed sucks.mitu123

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

Can't comment on the last two points cause I haven't played enough games in there.

- Minecraft is a terrible, boring game.

- Super Mario 64 isn't a good game(at elast in my eyes).

-Driver 3 is one of the best games ever.

-Duke Nukem Forever is a fun game.

Xenoblade Chronicles is not a revolutionary game. It's still pretty good, though.

I agree completely with this. I think the game gets a lot of free passes because it's 1) a legitamately good JRPG and 2) it's on the Wii (which doesn't see many JRPGs in general). I definitely like the game, but it's not an all-time classic.

Rockstar games utterly blow. Everyone should get off their ****

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

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.

That ME3's ending didn't really bother me

That I liked Dragon Age 2

That I liked Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2

I don't like GTA or Rockstar games in general very much

Oh yeah, and let me add the Resident Evil 4 and 5 >>>>>>> 1-3 and their horrible camera angles and clunky controls.

[QUOTE="DraugenCP"]

[QUOTE="campzor"]

i totally agree.

As long as it isn't the terrible dubstep they always use in trailers these days.

I was gonna go nuts because I though you meant that terrible genre called dubstep too. But all is forgiven. I LOVE Mass Effects soundtrack!!! It adds so much atmosphere to the game and it's one of my favorite things about it. The Music alone just makes me want to play it.

Cinimatic action games need to die.

I think that is a popular opinion for many, at least among older gamers. SW sure loves them though. I think its cool to have a few here and there, but I agree they shouldn't have nearly the presence they do.

Final Fantasy XIII is a decent game., albeit overly constricted.

Metroid Prime brand of storytelling is not good storytelling. It's hardly a 'story.'

Cinematics in games are not necessarily a bad thing.

the whole Zelda series suck

Gta 4 and RDR were boring as hell

Resident evil 4 was boring
