Unpopular Opinions about Video Games

[Stasi]

Tactics Ogre is better than Final Fantasy tactics

This is not an unpopular opinion, its a fact

You think the T-shape blocks look like a penis don't you?

T-Blocks look like underwear.

Yeah, it was no good Star Fox, but it was a decent zelda game with a great soundtrack imo.

It was never suppose to be a Star Fox game.

Final Fantasy 6 is the best one of the series and needs a remake.

I don't know. On one hand it could be really awesome, but I think they'd just fuck it up by giving everybody more belts and fucking up the characters like making Locke super emo or Kefka just "misunderstood".

Tetris was actually pretty gay.

You're Tetris.

I've always felt that Golden Sun was the blandest, most mediocre JRPG series in existence. I've tried multiple entries of the series but never got anywhere close to beating one. The writing, gameplay, and art direction are some of the driest, most boring, monotonous crap I've ever experienced. The series feels like something designed by an AI -- everything's done in a passable, 'ticked all the necessary checkboxes' way that passes basic competency but lacks any sort of creative spark or inspiration to it.

Faxanadu was way better at being Zelda 2 than Zelda 2 was.

Building off this...

Adventure Time Hey Ice King Why’d You Steal Our Garbage was a better Zelda 2 than Zelda 2

 

[The Last Stand]

I don't like Horde modes usually. If I do play co-op, I'd like to progress in a linear fashion, not hold out in one confined area.

If RPGs are gonna have romance, it should be a scripted element instead of this dating sim crap you get in every game nowadays. Just makes the relationships feel artificial and awkward.

Granted, the only people I know who go out of their way to get romance options are fatass cat ladies and dateless wonders. So I guess it's just devs following the money.

There were a few where you got a bonus for battles, but I don't think any of the newer ones do.

I want to like it, I really do but I just don't enjoy Sekiro. Don't get me wrong the combat system is magnificient as hell. But I'm annoyed by the game then dragging itself down with the annoying Batman: Arkham style stealth. I would just prefer it if I could skip it to just the boss battles.

I didn't like not being able to create my character and dress them up like in souls games.

 

[Duncan Hills Coffee]

I like Witcher 1's combat the best over the sequels.

 

[Screw Danlon]

Alpha Protocol was fucking dope, and it was better than Deus Ex:HR, Mass Effect, Dishonored or Dragon Age - and since all of those games got sequels, it should have too.

 

[CEO of Husbandos]

mortal kombat is better than street fighter

 

[Honka Honka Burning Love]

Ogre Battle 64 was better than both the Ogre Tactics games.

Is it an unpopular opinion to say that you don't think The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, is overrated? Like, I get that it was massive and the thing that after Fallout 3 put Bethesda on the map even further; but seriously, I've put like, 20 or so hours into it so far, and it's pretty damn good. The lore is cool and some of the books are legitimately books. Like, 70 pages long, and all that. I've really been enjoying it so far. I know it's not as complex as Oblivion which wasn't as complex as Morrowind, but it's in that inbetween era where Bethesda hadn't yet insultingly simplified things as they did with Fallout 4, which will very likely if not is guaranteed to carry over into TES VI, which is STILL going to use the exact same old as fuck engine from Oblivion, which I hope ends up being shitcanned and replaced with something actually new, the next time news comes out. At least then it won't be running on a outdated as hell engine.

I think that entire franchise is overrated

Skyrim is in that boat with games like Final Fantasy VII and Ocarina of Time where people are split right down the middle whether its overrated or not. It depends on where you are that the opinion can be considered unpopular. I don't think a lot of people here care about Skyrim so your opinion might be considered unpopular.

I myself just don't care about it.

I played it, I beat it..and I forget most of it aside from the Civil War shit making me want to murder everyone...and..the blades vs dragon shit..making me want to murder everyone.


Edit : Probably not unpopular here because you lot aren't stupid faggots but.

ART STYLE > GRAPHICS.

I will be honest: It's an okay game, with a plot that is more engaging than the "Save the world" thing. The civil war wouldn't provoke such discussions otherwise. It's just you don't feel getting better until collecting dragon souls.

The hate boner people have for realistic graphics honestly comes across as autistic. It comes across like a kid who only watches cartoons because having a million colors is the only way to retain his attention. Sure a Call of Duty may not do anything exciting, but you also have games like Resident Evil 4 which manage which have a look great look, and it's pretty damn realistic for the time. Something like a Call of Duty doesn't stand out more so because it's just a generic game in general, lets face it if a COD went with a unique artstyle it wouldn't change anyone opinions on it as the game itself's generic. Conversely something like Half Life which has dated pretty horribly graphical in all honesty still stands out thanks to great gameplay and setting. Doesn't mean something that tries to do what Wind Waker or a Okami did shouldn't be appreciated. But realistic game can easily stand the test of time as long as they have other elements backing them up.

Also wish hipsters would stop acting like it's a completely unvalued in a era where Minecraft, Overwatch, & Fortnite are some of the most popular games of the generation.

It's not a hate boner for realistic graphics, it's a hate boner for, ultimately, soyboys and soyboy-focused marketing and game journalism, while the overall game quality falls by the wayside and reviews are bought. Better graphics -> more powerful hardware -> consoom -> web 2.0 and social media noise exalting consoomers.

I've never traded stocks (I'm poor), but when I was a kid, I bought a newspaper on my way to school, which had a stocks page (I'm old). Ideally, when you want to upgrade your hardware, you should be able to look up something like that: a clean and concise table with all the pertinent characteristics of currently sold hardware. This is all that's needed: a cross-section of the industry.

What we actually get is an incremental cacophony of lying freeform low-info press releases, low-info bad-science freeform benchmark reports, and social media soy, completely fucking useless to anyone who doesn't masturbate to their specs daily, even - especially - to people who want to upgrade in order to play a recent game.

I don't like the cast of Persona 5. They're incredibly over the top obnoxious, neurotic, whiny, bratty, and it's not just one character it's all of them. I'm honestly very puzzled by this because 3 and 4 did a pretty good job making the characters act like teenagers without being so annoying you wanted to murder them.

Something went wrong with the writing this time and it sucks.

Skyrim blew my mind back in the day because before that I had really only played mario and zelda games, so that level of detail and scale was unprecedented for me. I think that's how it was for a lot of other people, too-Skyrim, I think, is the first western RPG to really reach out and market itself so that even 'non-gamers' know what it is, the same way FF7 kind of did. Every now and then I'll play it again for nostalgia's sake, but I definitely get why people don't care for it that much, it has a lot of design flaws and it's pretty light on rpg elements.
