List Your Unpopular Videogame Opinions

I prefer games with no story. E.g., sport games, racing games, and Titanfall.

@shawn30 said:

Skyrim is one of the very best RPGs of all time. IMHO top 5 ever.

Outrageous comment.

@ladyblue:

If by ruined, you mean made better, then definitely.

Naughty Dog are not that good of a developer and suck at gameplay, Tomb Raider 2013 is better than anything they have ever made

Bioshock Infinite > Bioshock 2 > Bioshock 1

The GTA series is mostly rubbish and Rockstar's worst (though I haven't played V)

Sticky cover mechanics are the bane of modern third person (and some first person) shooters.

Rome 2 and CoH 2 are both very good strategy games (after patches anyways).

Oblivion > Skyrim

The notion that Half Life 2 is this excellent all time work of greatness that is beyond reproach is the most ridiculous thing ever in terms of videogame conversations on the internet.

There are plenty of aspects that make that game enjoyable. Hell the variety alone is worthy of my respect as it has more gameplay ideas than most franchises have in their entire run(no seriously, there are more ideas in Half Life 2, than the 6 Halo Campaigns at this point from a gameplay perspective). It's all however tied to average shooting mechanics, dull enemy AI, some genuinely bad pacing in terms of the pre-ravenholm stuff, and I wasn't the biggest of controlling the boat or the little car. You throw in the stuff where it's overly reliant on trying to wow you with a seasaw puzzle, and that the plot/universe is like mostly lame and ends in a cliff hanger, yeah **** that game.

Halflife 2 is overrated garbage.

• Shadow of the Colossus sucks
• Okami sucks
• Limbo sucks
• Yoshi's Island sucks
• The MGS series sucks
• Rockstar games suck
• Wind Waker is the worst Zelda game ever made
• PS2 is the most overrated console of all time
• Sonic 3 & Knuckles is the best Sonic (not debatable), and is the greatest platformer of all time
• Super Mario World is the most overrated 4th gen game, and it's not even the best platformer on the SNES. Oh yeah, and every classic Sonic game curbs stomps it too, but that's a given.
• Modern Sonic games are very fun. Just try playing them without a stick up your ass, it makes a world of difference.
• Streets of Rage 2 is the G.O.A.T, and I think anyone that prefers Final Fight couldn't have a more worthless opinion on video games. Seriously, find another hobby.
• Panzer Dragoon Saga is the greatest RPG ever made
• NiGHTS into Dreams is the most creative game ever made, and it serves as the best example of how to do artsy fartsy games right
• The Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series are the best Star Wars games; Not KOTOR, and especially not Battlefront

• Not a fan of Limbo
• Or of Demons Souls
• FF 13 gets too much hate
• Always loved Suda 51 games
• HL 2 is overrated
• Last Story > Xenoblade

No, it isn't.

It's funny how people go into these threads and then post popular opinions in them. lol.

Anyway:

1. A Link To The Past is massively overrated: the dungeon design is just way too basic. I think I even prefer the DS Zeldas.

2. There was nothing wrong with Carolyn Petit calling out the misogyny in GTA V. The backlash was a result of gamer manbabyism as usual.

3. Anita Sarkeesian made a lot of good points. The people that were annoyed by what she was saying didn't understand her argument.

4. Uncharted's characters are incredibly trite. That they are put on a pedestal shows just low gamers' standards are in that department. If UC's characters were in a movie or book, nobody would give them a second thought.

5. Insomniac have always been unimaginative developers.

6. The PS3's graphics didn't/don't look better than the 360's (the PS4 .vs. the Xbox One is of course a different story).

7. There's nothing wrong with Resident Evil 5. It wasn't close to as awesome as Resident Evil 4, but that applies to the vast majority of TPSs out there.

8. Halo 2 was way better than the first.

9. God of War is sooooo boring. Couldn't even finish it and I'm patient enough to make my way through the most dated retro RPGs.

10. Metroid Prime 3 may not be as good as the first, but it comes a lot closer than people give it credit for.

11. Morrowind sucks. Love its atmosphere but the gameplay is so janky.

12. GameSpot was largely correct about The Legend of Dragoon. I have no idea why so many gamers have decided to put this game on a pedestal. It is trite on every level, the combat system is novel but shallow, the dialogue is horrendous, etc. I've even heard some people say that the LoD is better than some of the PS1 FF games which is absolutely insane.

13. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a company charging you to play on their online infrastructure. The entitlement that gamers have is nauseating.

14. Final Fantasy XIII has some severe issues, but I don't really think there's anything wrong with its characters. They're not great, but they're not as terrible as many people say they are. Snow is a huge douche tho.

15. Navi is not annoying.

The MGS games are just stupid non-sense.

Gears Of War and Halo are mediocre and highly overrated more so than Call Of Duty.

The Last Of Us is not the best story told in gaming.

The Souls series are unenjoyable.

Half Life series are overrated.

Paying for online gaming is unacceptable.

Nope, just ruined. As in turned to crap.

Put a lot of hours to that game.

I don't think HL2 is that great

I agree wholeheartedly with the bolded, but I'll go ahead and add to it.

- Half-Life 2 is nothing more than mediocre and the idea that the game is somehow above criticism is ridiculous.

- Uncharted is a forgettable series buoyed by incredible production values.

- Mass Effect's storyline is absurd.

- Halo 2 is the best multiplayer shooter ever made.

- Dynasty Warriors and Armored Core are very good series.

- Bethesda games are universally boring and poorly designed.

- Graphics don't matter.

- The PlayStation 3 was, by and large, an absolute mess of a console.

- Metal Gear Solid 4 is an atrocious Metal Gear game and the worst title in the franchise.

- Final Fantasy VIII is pretty bad.

- Nintendo's first party is the best in the business.

- Sony's first party is pretty unimpressive, a couple studios aside.

I dont think any of the Half Life games are that great.

This is only an unpopular opinion in SW

yeah i share clyde's opinion.

Actually I'm probably one of the few people that actually lists TLOU as their fav gen 7 game.

i enjoyed superman 64

* JRPGs aren't role playing games at all
* Gran Turismo fell behind Forza Motorsport
* Pokemon is just as rehashed as any EA sports title

One of these threads again, huh?

-I think several anime/manga fighters are very good (except Bleach: Shattered Blade, that game can go to hell)

-I like 3D MK games on the PS2

-I refuse to play CORE developed TR games and am sticking to Crystal Dynamics developed ones after playing Legend and Anniversary, as I know those games have not aged well enough for me to even bother (tank controls do not work with action-adventure-platfomers)

-Super Mario Galaxy 2 was not worth a 10. More like in the 8 range.

That's a few of them for now.

There's a difference between an opinion and a factual inaccuracy.

Red Dead Redemption is an average-at-best game due to its bland protagonist, disjointed overworld, predictable story and weak morality system. Also the gameplay is largely fetch quest missions that have little to do with the narrative and are essentially what MMORPG's do except without the other players or the loot/exp.

MGS4 is a very shitty Metal gear game

Half Life 2 is a masterpiece. I'm actually playing through right now. Gunplay, pacing, and storytelling are unmatched in FPS's since then.

You agreed with him that Uncharted's characters were trite and it's sort of forgettable as a series but you liked TR 2013?...... Does not compute

Every time somebody mentions Halo: Reach, I keep thinking Halo:Reach Around...

The Last Remnant (PC) is better than any of the Final Fantasy game's I've played (FF7->)
I liked the tower defense game in Assassin's Creed: Revelations
I liked the dialogue in Two Worlds
The car handling in GTA:IV was the best in the series
Motorstorm: Monument Valley was the best in the series
I didn't care that car models were reused form Gran Turismo 2 in Gran Turismo 5 & 6
I do not like any of the Hitman games
Manhunt was the best stealth game I've ever played
The original UFO: Enemy Unknown game from 1993 is better than the remake
Gex: Enter the Gecko is the best platform game I've ever played, even better than games like Spyro
I did not like Crash Bandicoot
New World Order (PC) is one of the best FPS games I've ever played.

There are probably more...

Just LOL, but i'm not going to waste time with a long ass reply. Whoever support the dumb arguments of Anita Sarkeesian deserves to be slapped.

Demon Souls>>>>Skyrim

Dark Souls 2>>>>Dark Souls

DMC is the best Devil May Cry

Metal Gear Rising Sucks

Bayonetta is even worse than Charlies Angels

Super Mario Galaxy,Uncharted 2,TLOU,Red Dead Redemption are the best games of Gen 7

FFXII is a great game

Enjoyed every second of GTA V

Bioshock Infinite is crap, Bioshock 1 is the best

PS3 has the best library in gen 7

the X1 sucks and everybody knows it, except Lems of course

Carolyn Petit's review of GTA V was totally fine. Anita Sarkeesian is not some kind of demon. Her commentaries are pretty much spot on. And lots of angry internet trolls are just livid that her valid points are in conflict with their expectations of how women should be portrayed in games.

Bethesda games suck

SOTC is arguably the most overrated game of all time with a plethora of issues that people ignore.

Ico > SOTC

Tekken sucks

Kingdom Hearts sucks

Super Mario 64 sucks

The GT vs Forza debate is a topic I didn't give a damn about as I find both to be boring

Naughty Dog are nowhere near the best devs in the industry because UC1 and UC3 exist.

JRPGs > WRPGs

Persona 3, P4, SMT IV, SMT Devil Survivor >>>>>>>>>>>> Nocturne

Fire Emblem Awakening and POR >>>>>>>>>>>> Fire Emblem GBA.

Based on my experience, Odin Sphere was the only video game I played with a decent story

MGS3: Subsistence and ZOE2 are the only amazing games Kojima has made. MGS4 is outdated.

Ape Escape was the best platformer of its era

I didn't care for TF2 and L4D1 and 2

Age of Empires II > Starcraft

RE4 is the only amazing RE game.

FFX has the most overrated soundtrack in video games

FFXII >>>>>>>>> FFX

FFIV is overrated

Half-Life 2's vehicle sections > Halo CE the Library >>>>>>>>>>> Uncharted Jet ski levels

Fi in Skyward Sword didn't annoy me

I don't care for most indie games

That's about it.

Should be portrayed, **** off. The game is about stealing cars and murdering people and killing police officers... all of that is completely fine but offending women is not... get a life it's a game.

@GreySeal9 Agreed on UC characters. Chloe's ass was the only interesting character in the franchise.

• Other M wasn't a bad game.
• Shadow the Hedgehog wasn't that damn bad.
• The Souls games are some of the most overrated games I've played.
• I think Skyward Sword was a good game, and will be revered as such by the time the Wii-U Zelda comes out.
• I thought Killzone 2 was an excellent FPS, and I think if cows didn't revere as the best or one of the best FPS franchises ever, people here would stop bashing it.
• Metal Gear Solid 4 was one of the most underwhelming games I have ever played. It was a good game, but it was not worthy of the praise it received; not even close.
• I don't get why people are buying the new consoles so early, especially the PS4.
• I don't think System Wars really understands the definition of "gimmick"; otherwise, people here would realize that literally every game out there has some sort of gimmick, for example, Call of Duty's gimmick is accessible (or really just a low skill-ceiling) and quick online multi-player. The term just doesn't only apply to game play functions and peripherals you deem as "casual."
• Fallout 3 sucked.
• The Twisted Metal reboot was garbage. I was the guy who managed the fucking hype thread for it and had been following the game like crazy since its announcement, but it wasn't until I played Black (which I got a redemption code for for buying the reboot at launch) that I realized how a piece of crap it was; and it saddens me to see the fan base defending that turd.

no one is saying she is a demon, LOL, she is just wrong and a garbage feminist.

1. Holy shit, when did you become a mod?

2. Tomb Raider has exploration going for it, plus the encounters are more free form and interesting. I'm not super attached to the game's story or characters, but it did have a cool mystery vibe going for it.

I would much rather play that game than an Uncharted game.

• Kingdom Hearts>>>>>>>Any other Kingdom Hearts games that is not the first one.
• Dragon Quest IX>>>>>>>>>>Any Final Fantasy game that was released in the last gen.
• The League of Legends fanbase is the worst in the MOBA genre in many ways.
• The Last of Us is pretentious as heck.
• Mario Kart: Double Dash could have been a better game.
• Lightning is a terrible character.
• Cutscenes shouldn't be a form of storytelling.
• Oblivion>>>>>>Skyrim
• Demon Souls>>>>>Dark Souls
• Bioshock>>>>>Bioshock: Infinite
• God of War 3 was overrated and not a good game.
• Majority of the System Warriors are a hive mind.

yes.

now i'll just hop on my alt and agree with myself.

lol

After that thoughtful response, I have changed my stance.

I agree. Chloe's ass had some real depth and complexity to it.

Opposite for me. I did not care for the new TR. I liked the death scenes, that's about it really. Uncharted 2 was my favorite of any similar game. The environments, each of them alone were simply just captivating and so beautiful. I didn't see anything too interesting to look at in TR. It's another island, trees, rocks...wow.

Tomb Raider was actually fun to play though.

you feminists are so damn annoying and even if i wasted my time with a good argument you wouldn't change it anyway, so for now, just LOL feminists.

mmm. i'd be interested in hearing sarkeesian's best argument.

Arma 3 is the best modern FPS for this gen.

Call of Duty isn't as bad as people make it out to be. Most games today, like COD, are sequels. They may not be yearly, but if you isolated it to one developer (Infinity Ward, Treyarch, and the other third dev I can't remember), that's 1 COD game every 2 years per dev, having a different feel for each one.

• Casual gaming/non-gamers are here to stay
• Motion Controls aren't a gimmick, just implemented horribly
• Mobile gaming (Smartphones) will never kill handheld consoles (3DS/Vita)
• Sakamoto almost killed the Metroid Franchise with Metroid: Other M
• Modern Zelda games suck
• A Link Between Worlds is overrated
• Iwata, shouldn't be fired, but Miyamoto needs to completely retire from Nintendo
• PS4 and Xbone are still uninteresting

• Rockstar is most overrated studio out there . Their stories suck balls . GTA 4 was best in the series .
• Kojima is terrible writer .
• Sony's first party studios make boring press A to win games .
• Upcoming Xbox One games at this stage , are looking more interesting than PS4 .
• Dark Souls series is bad . It is not even difficult . Both are flawed games and its flaws are passed to gamers as "challenge" .
