Unpopular Opinions about Video Games

The stand is goofy and it's too big and won't fit where my PS4 was so now it's on top of my TV cabinet instead.

I agree it's not as practical but I appreciate that it has a little more going on design wise than just being a "brick". I also like the removable plates which make customizing the console much easier than before (though the official plates are grossly overpriced).

Well, funny enough, finding a great song with a terrific chart is a great reason to keep playing a rhythm game again and again - there are always gonna be scorefags who obsess with perfecting a chart, but the joy of the flow of the chart, and how it goes with the song is the real draw. You may not replay Dark Souls for the joy of parrying different enemies, but you'll get that itch to play that one song in your favorite rhythm game years and years down the line. And the quality of charts run the gamut; there are plenty ranging from forgettable to downright awful, but the best ones will keep you coming back forever.

I haven't really had anyone in my life that would care to listen to me playing guitar and tell me if I'm actually improving, and by the time I did, I had completely quit caring. Trying to play for the sake of playing just felt fruitless.

I went through the same thing with playing keyboard, and eventually picking up Synthesia, too. Same kinda deal as Rocksmith, except it's more DIY with how it runs off of MIDI files. It's a lot of fun.

I like Rocksmith a lot but I play pretty much only the rhythm sections and have no interest in intricate solos or anything like that. Sitting there and learning the same chord change is immensely boring which is why I never do it but playing some songs you like on Rocksmith a few times over you learn without realising it and I'd say I improved a lot without noticing because of Rocksmith.

It also has little mini games that teach you different techniques (which I don't really bother with) and other neat features. It has value and dismissing it outright just because a handful of autists use it to robotically learn some complicated solo without getting a feel for the music is silly.

MW3 is the Gloria Swanson of the Call of Duty franchise.

Underappreciated, gray, a relic of its time.

Why are people complaining about a misnamed weapon in MWII? It ain't that serious.

Because it's gay, and they gayed it for most likely socjus reasons. There's been a lot of crying about "fetishizing military hardware" inside the company among the dangerhair types, which is supposedly why they wanted to go so hard with futuristic themes, cartoon colors, and fake guns in the pre-reboot games.

It probably has to do with copyright more than anything, especially with the weapon platforms. I don't think Kalashnikov USA would appreciate IW named their AK platform the Kalashnikov platform or whatever. Same going for the Expedite and calling it the Benelli or Super 90 Platform.

I was going to say military & Soviet designations aren't trademarked...but Kalashnikov filed to trademark AK-47 recently. So, count that as a "today I learned..."

So fucking what? That's the least of the game's many issues.

Have you tried the more recent games? They feel a lot faster and lighter compared to how clunky and slow the older games were.
I still love Mortal Kombat II

I haven't. My brother keeps telling me to try MK11 but I haven't picked it up yet. Maybe I'll do so if it feels more fast and fluid.

I picked up the "Ultimate" edition (or whatever the fuck it was called) from a Steam sale a while back. I haven't played the game that much but the little I did play it seemed surprisingly very optimized and fast paced, much faster and lighter than Street Fighter V. The only bad thing about the game was that it turned off all my RGB stuff on my PC for some reason, I guess it's because the game "syncs" with Corsair lighting to reflect lighting effects in the game or something, I haven't really looked into it but hey the big Christmas Steam sale is right around the corner...

Of MK, Tekken and SF, MK is the best of those three. But it's competition is pretty weak.

MK's problem is the guest character feces filling the roster up when it could just be more MK characters.

It was cute when we got Freddy, maybe Jason too. But now we have Robocop, Terminator Ahnald and (as much as i love the franchise) Rambo, which just seem out of place

Of all the guests they did in the last one I liked Rambo and Robocop. But I never put any real time into playing as any of them at all. I would check their moveset and be done with it.

Like fuck off with this shit already. There's plenty of actual MK characters I'd rather mess with than novelties.

I bought that POS earlier and the year, and I've yet to complete it. It's like force feeding yourself a 50lb bag of raw potatoes.

I can't bring myself to even return to it and the sequel trailer looks like it's even worse. The amount of padding in that fucking thing is actually shocking.

I think i made it four hours in before dropping it, haven't touched it ever again. The combat is so incredibly shitty and unfun that i couldn't force myself to play this game again even if my life depended on it. I liked what i saw in the first gameplay demo but seeing something played and playing yourself are vastly different experiences, obviously. I really should've known better. I give the game that it looks really, really pretty, but that is all.
