Unpopular Opinions about Video Games

I like the ME3 ending.

^ That one.

Well, I need to specify. I didn't like the original, I liked the remade ending(s).

Hell, I don't see why Mass Effect 3 gets so much hate in general. Oh wait, yes I do. It's published by EA and people have a compulsive need to hate everything EA does, even if some games they've published are good. I thought Mass Effect 3 was a really solid game. They found the perfect sweet spot between RPG and 3rd person shooter for the series (Mass Effect 1 kinda missed the mark on a few notes, Mass Effect 2 got it almost dead-on, and ME3 refined what ME2 did) and the multiplayer can be surprisingly fun if you play it with the right people. (playing with strangers can be annoying, but such is the case for many games.) Sure, the micro-transactions in the multiplayer are a stupid idea, but only the greediest of the greediest would actually feel the need to use them. Getting points goes really quickly.

Also, I didn't hate F.3.A.R. but don't get me wrong, I understand why people do hate it. It's a pretty shitty singleplayer game. Not memorable at all the way the first and to lesser extend the second were... As for the horror argument: this one confuses me. Throughout the reception of FEAR 1 and 2, everyone complained about the horror not being good and it being unnecessary, while praising the action... The third one focuses on the action, but everyone hates that it stopped having as much horror suddenly? Seems a little bit silly to me.
Then there's what really justified the (admittedly ~5 dollar) purchase for me: the co-op. F.3.A.R. has some genuinely interesting ideas about Co-op that very few games manage, mainly in that playing as one character is a different experience from the other. To me, it makes the co-op dynamic pretty interesting. More interesting than where the second player is just a carbon copy of the first.

But yeah, TL;DR, didn't hate ME3 and FEAR3

The Nintendo 64 was the shittiest console ever. It was so bad, it made people adopt the best gaming machine at the time (and probably forever), the personal computer.

Just curious: What did you not like about it? It wasn't ever going to beat the SNES for awesome games but I loved that it took away load times. There wasn't really anything on it that truly wowed me though.

Edit: Another thing I loved about the N64 was you could save your game. The new disc consoles forced you into buying removable storage cards for you saves.

Glad to see the Virtual Boy getting some love here.

About Pokemon, I don't hate it, I like to play Pokemon, but it's very tedious to train and level up your Pokemon. I know this is not really necessary, but to me, I have to do so in order to beat my opponents easily.

As a fan of the first Deus Ex, I thought Invisible War was a good game. I beleive Daggerfall, despite being touted as one of the best entries in the Elder Scrolls series, is overrated.

I second that, I played it and it's buggy as all hell and it's not fun to explore the randomly generated dungeons.
I think Morrowind was when it started to get fucking awesome because they had a more established lore and I love the Elder Scrolls lore.

Ok to add a few more:

I don't get the appeal of MMO's
I like the original HUEG Xbox controller.
Phoenix Wright, is good, but not as good as people make it out to be.
Final Fantasy 7 is the most overrated game of all time.
Dragon Age 2, taken on its own its a pretty decent game.
Windwaker is the best of the 3D Zeldas.
I prefer the Sega Jurassic Park to the SNES one.

 

[Enig]

I love the Atari 7800.
I still feel the Jaguar had potential.
I don't get why people find Gmod fun outside of pissing off 12 year olds.
I only pirated Minecraft for the Creative mode.
Final Fantasy 7 not only sucks hard in terms of the FF series, but looks like pure ass nowadays.
I enjoyed Final Fantasy 8.
The arcade Moonwalker will forever be better than the Genesis one.
Also, I prefer calling it "Mega Drive" and not "Genesis", even though I'm an Americlap.
I had fun with Duke Nukem Forever.
I have more fun with GoldSrc games than I do the Quake series.
I hate Counter Strike and its' profags.
The only good Sony system was the PS1.
Wind Waker and the Oracle games are best Zeldas.
Starcraft just doesn't appeal to me. Neither does World of Warcraft.
I put the first Final Fight and Streets of Rage 2 on the same level of awesomeness.
I don't get why people don't like HL2: Episode One so much. It was the logical progression for a sequel system; they couldn't just go "Oh hey Gordon's out of City 17" and cockslap their fanbase.
Most of the shit /v/ hypes at times is just plain retarded.

That should do it for now.

It was the controller, especially the analog stick. It was so awkward, it made my hands sweat and my thumb would slip. The thing that really pissed me off though, was you couldn't use the D-pad to move in Mario 64. I wouldn't mind using the stick for just precise and slow movements, and using the D-pad the other %90 of the time, but I guess the Nintendo programmers were too lazy to spend the 2 hours to implement that.


And another opinion: I think Earthbound was waaay better than Mother 3.

I thought there were a multitude of third-party controllers that were normal shaped, you could've used one of those. That, and they have Gamecube-to-N64 adapters now, so there's no need to complain, unless you're hurting your HANDS OF FATE on Mario Party's stick-spinning.

Also, the entire Mother series is overrated shit.

I got the console for my 15th birthday, back in the old days before third party controllers.

And I can understand the sentiment behind saying the Mother series is shit, but Squaresoft and Enix only gave half a shit each, which is why they merged into SquareEnix, so they could put two halves of a shit together and produce a full turd.

Oh my wittle heart couldn't handle that last statement. I hold Mother 3 up as the golden standard of storytelling in a video game and Earthbound is fun as shit.
Earthbound Zero is kind of poopy though, I don't like NES RPGs and EB Zero reeks of NES RPG (Mostly because it is one)

My problem with the N64 controller is how fragile the analog sticks are. If you buy one used chances are it's analog will have gone to shit. The trident thing never really bothered me and I think N64 had a lot of good games, I sort of consider it the turning point in video game history where shit got awesome. That might be nostalgia speaking though.

 

[punchabunch]

The story in Mother 3 is pretentious nonsense. I more consider Deus Ex the golden standard for videogame storytelling.

Daikatana... doesnt totally suck. I bought it expecting something along the lines of BIG RIGS OVER THE ROAD RACING and... its ok. Not great, but it certinly feels like the Duke Nukem Forever of its time. Take that as you will.

Hmm? There were tons of 3rd party controllers back in tghe day. Hell, nowadays there are hardly any.

Yeah, Daggerfall may of been a good game that I played but the fact that said randomly generated dungeons were freakin huge made me want to make the same sound Rydell from Demons Souls makes when he wants to get out. Plus the bugs would still be problem even with the latest patch. Even though one should expect bugs in a Bethesda game, you wouldn't expect a bug that would render the main quest UNBEATABLE. Still, Morrowind is where the series started to get awesome due to the fact that the series not only had a more established lore but also an alien foreign land where one area is a desert with ash storms and the other has giant mushrooms for trees. Saying this makes me want to play Morrowind again, also I thought Arena, the first game in the Elder Scrolls series was much better than Daggerfall since it had a spell that could destroy walls. I'm not kidding.

Now what's great is the DLC of Skyrim "DragonBorn" takes place in Solstheim which you may remember from the Morrowind expansion Bloodmoon and they even have the original music from Morrowind!

Here's the new Raven Rock

And the Skaal Village!

And Netch's wander around the vicinity of Raven Rock and the ash covered lands.

I'm not really a big fan of Legend Of Zelda. I played the NES version but I find it okay. Maybe it's because I dislike adventure games?

However, my opinion might change since I played Abobo's Big Adventure which has a LoZ stage and it's quite fun. I might play the LoZ NES game again.

I found the NES games a bit boring, the only one I liked was on the SNES.

Yeah, I have looked the dlc up on uesp. I'd like to play it once I get the game for pc. I may own Skyrim for PS3 but I'm going for the pc version since it does have mods that can make things better such as faces that look more natural, elite knight armor from Dark Souls, and also unofficial patches that can fix things that have been looked over. Even then, if it is coming to PS3, then I'll get that instead, I don't even give a damn about how the ps3 version is "inferior". I may have had a few crashes as the ps3 owners have encountered but those were rare for me.
