Do you have any unpopular opinions?

While everyone is welcome to their opinion, this one is provably wrong.

I'm not saying a deep story, just something different. I guess I will just never like the Mario series because that will never happen.

Luigi's Mansion is by far one of my favorite games for the Gamecube, and I think is was my first purchase for that system.

My opinions on how bad Star Ocean 4 is caused one user on the PS3 boards to send me private messages that were not too kind. Then that user decided to attack me on various threads. Fun times!

I remember that! :lol: I even jumped in for you on one argument one time :P Guy was NUTS for you :lol:

I thought Final Fantasy XIII was an excellent game. Maybe even one of my favorite games ever. I found the combat fun and the story was truly incredible. At first it seemed somewhat cheesy, but I found the final outcome of the story to be simply fantastic. Also, I have never played a Grand Theft Auto game, and don't plan on playing one any time soon. I really don't find the games to be all that appealing.

The Timeplsitters series is much better than CoD and Halo

Half-Life 2 Episodes 1 and 2 are much better than Half-Life 2

The Legend of ZeldaMajora's Mask is better than Ocarina of Time

Chrono Cross is slightly better than Chrono Trigger

Super Mario 64 controlled poorly.

Thats all i can think of right now.

I don't like Mass Effe--OHMYGODFLAMING!

*One trip to the burn ward later*

Yeah, I didn't like Mass Effect. It took me 2 months to finish because It felt like a chore most of the time, and in the end I only had 10 hours playtime... But it felt good to get it out the way.

I like Movies based off of video games.

Unpopular opinions are the only REAL opinions.

Turn base RPGs suck

Gears 1 multiplayer is better than gears 2 they dumbedit down

Mostly because he drags the fanbase into it, making it more of a statement. It's like me saying: "GTA exists only because of its fanboys". Makes absolutely no sense.

Yes i dragged fanbase into because without a fanbase Mario games wouldn't keep being made, much like any other game title on the shelf. There is a fanbase for something and a game gets made to suit those needs and wants. And I would like to be proven wrong on this because all i ever see out of Mario games is just a slight graphical upgrade and just more things for mario to change into.

The entire mario story has been done over and over again, with no hopes of ever changing. Super Mario 64 was the last true innovation in the series, and since then has been nothing but mario saving the same princess, against the same villain...every...single...time.

Well, I can understand that, but I don't like innovation if it's handled poorly. I buy Mario games exactly because it's just incremental improvements. SMG2 has become one of my all-time favorite games for just being better than anything I've played before in the series. On top of that, Mario is constantly in new stuff anyway. Smash Bros., 2D platformers, sports titles, party titles, 3D platformers, RPGs etc. I'm just saying, the series has fans for a reason, the fanbase isn't some blind following, they genuinely like the games for a reason (like me). Sorry if it came off as arrogant from my part.

I never liked any of the Zelda games, I would think im in the minority

KOTOR, in NO way, feels like Star Wars. The game is a choppy mess.

As far as the "Everyone thinks that on the internet" view on unpopular views, what do you think this thread is about? Unpopular views, highly unlikely someone is going to read this thread and be like... OMG I need to come defend Halo!

Guarantee if you post a thread "Halo is really awful", you are going to either get the thread locked, or people will flock to bashing you.

No, I don't see what you're saying as arrogant, far from it. You like the series and you back it up, so there is nothing wrong with that. I suppose i'll just never really like the whole Mario series and I can deal with that. Nintendo has plenty of other characters to enjoy.

Not really. The games nowadays are based on the same formula as Super Mario Bros. on the NES... its just in 3D with more detailed environments. You're still collecting stars, and still doing essentially, mostly the same things to collect them... there is just more ways of doing it.foxhound_fox

Yes, really. That statement that every Mario game post Mario 64 is just a stale remake is a blatantly incorrect statement. The Galaxy games play in radically different ways from Mario 64. You may be doing a lot of the same things, but the ways in which you do them have changed. If you can play Mario 64, and Mario Galaxy, and consider the latter a stale graphic touch up of the former, well, you're just wrong. Fundamentally incorrect. Some opinions can be wrong, (it is the opinion of some that the Earth is at the center of the galaxy and everything rotates around it, they are wrong) and that one very much is. Now if Mario just isn't your cup of tea, I respect that. But making blatantly false statements to back it up, not so much.

Now if we lived in a world where Mario Sunshine was the last "real" Mario game to come out, yeah, I could follow you. They just upped the graphics and added a lame water pack. But Galaxy fundamentally changed the way we play these games. We still collect stars, sure, but how we go about doing it couldn't be more different.

Adding

Turn base games are fun

More real does not mean better

Lieaner setup are just as good and open world.

Shaq Fu is....kinda fun...ok the concept is horrible but the game is hilarious !

Call of duty: MW is the peak of the term ''Been there, done that'' !

I deeply hate Activision !

Online Multiplayer is taking too much place in the gaming industry (the single player modes are short and the multiplayer have much more content which i think should be the other way around the mutiplayer should be simple and the single player should be enaging and awesome) !

I hate what the gaming industry has become !

I think that Killer 7 is one of the best games ever and i ALWAYS wanted a sequel !

I hate the americanisation and repetitiveness of Resident Evil 5 !

I want to see a NEW classic survival horror game not FPS/Horror or Action/Horror...just Survival Horror just like in the 90's and 00's !

I like Doom on the 32x!

I would like to see the Battletoads in the next Super Smash Bros. !

I LOVE Twisted Metal 3 !

GTA IV was good BUT...the missions are boring, Niko Bellic is one of the worst character i've ever seen (the supporting characters are great though) and the story is ridiculous !

Im sick of all the FPS !

Resident Evil Outbreak is fun on single player !

EA Games sucks !

Mortal Kombat is better than Street Fighter !

Street Fighter IV is an incredibly unfair game !

There's too much focus on Ryu in Street Fighter IV and he's not the most interesting character !

El Fuerte in Street Fighter IV was a total joke !

Abel in Street Fighter IV was wasted...he was supposed to be a french guy from france but he had an american accent !

I wasn't shoked the violence of Manhunt i was more rolling on the floor when i was hearing what the enemies were saying when they were searching for you !

I Always wanted a game about the movie series ''Death Wish'' with Charles Bronson made by Rockstar Games !

Gameplay matter more than Graphics !

Haggar from Final Fight should be in Marvel vs capcom 3!

Final Fight : Streetwise is a good game !

Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis is the best theme park game EVER !

Jackie Chan: Suntmaster was AWESOME !!!

Sorry for all the message edit....i just had a lot of things to get out of my chest :) !

I did not care for the Godfather. It insists upon itself.

But really, I did not like Super Mario Bros. 3. 1 and 2 are fine, but I never liked how they went with 3.

Donkey Kong Country 3 was boring. Kiddy Kong is an annoying character. The sprites were atrocious and ugly. The levels were irritatingly easy, and the bonuses were way too easy to find. The mechanics were a joke (for example, bouncing on the heads of those stupid chopper bad guys to get to a bonus, or killing Koin to get the DK coin). The level areas were also uninteresting - for example, a mill, or on a toboggan. This is funny, considering Donkey Kong Country 2 was the best game ever made.

'Bubsy' games were always that bad, starting with the first one. The death knell of the series, the Nintendo 64 one, shouldn't shock anyone.

Infinity Ward is creatively bankrupt. I don't think we'll see another Modern Warfare, where the 4 day WWIII storyline made absolutely no sense.

GTA IV does not deserve the 10 it got. There is no diversity in the environment like in San Andreas. Just bland city, with a muted color pallette. Good game, but mediocre in regards to the environment. Also, the multiplayer is atrocious. The only fun part of the multiplayer is free roam. The storyline sucked, and was way too repetitive. I also hate the restricting areas of the city until you play the storyline aspect.

San Andreas sucked. If I wanted to play the Sims, I would. The police choppers were ridiculous.

NovaLogic is one of the best first person shooter game companies ever, yet nobody knows about it. It was even better than Infinity Ward or EA in its hayday, with Delta Force: Black Hawk Down, and Joint Operations (pre-disaster patch). Then, they jumped the shark after they completely destroyed Joint Ops with patches, and haven't made a good, or non-budget game since.

Gameplay / Commentary videos on YouTube are absolutely obnoxious. Just play the game. I don't want to listen to people talk about how good they are, how they think they're a "big name" in MW2 (or whatever), and say random crap that does nothing other than annoy. Most of them are so full of themselves, it's ridiculous. I won't name any names, but look at the Machinima videos. The only players I likeare SandyRavage, and Chris Smoove.Sandy's actually good, and posts good content - not 10 minute videos of an obnoxious voice telling me how good they are, and calling other people 'scrubs,' 'noobs,' and other annoying terms. Smoove is just entertaining.

Resident Evil Outbreak is fun on single player !

Mr_Dream

I hope you mean the first game and not File #2.

FFVII was a mediocre RPG.

Resident Evil's new format even with it's awful controls saved the series from extinction.

Square-Enix has become a mediocre developer.

I just don't see it that way. In fact, there's always someone that comes around proclaiming FFVII "T3H GRATEST EVAR!!!!!!" and those who disagree don't know what they're talking about. You can almost set your clock to it.

Juggernaut and martyrdom are completely fair. The Wind Waker is the best Zelda game. Runescape, at one time, was the best MMO. Not now it isn't, I'm saying up until like 3 or 4 years after it started. Assassin's Creed 1 is a piece of garbage.

Not on here that isn't. :P BC2 gets a LOT of love here on GS.

I think God of War sucks (series).

I think DMC sucks (series).

I think Deadly Towers was awesome.

I also think MMORPGs are ruining things.

Far Cry 2 > Halo, COD4

Not on here that isn't. :P BC2 gets a LOT of love here on GS.

[QUOTE="RobboElRobbo"][QUOTE="fabz_95"]I think that Bad Company 2 is better than Modern Warfare 2. This opinion is very unpopular among my friends.fabz_95

Not on here that isn't. :P BC2 gets a LOT of love here on GS.

True, and I think BFBC2 is miles ahead of MW2. Many people will say that you can't compare the two because they're different playing st.yles, but I'm talking about balance and playability. MW2 takes very little skill to actually learn (from someone who is mediocre at video games). It's just a campfest. I mean, people talk about Wookies in BFBC2 (people that hide in the woods the whole game), but it's nowhere near as bad as in MW2 A, and B, you don't get rewarded for it (and even first place) in BFBC2.

Modern Warfare 2 is among the worst shooters of all time.

Mass Effect is better than the sequel.

Mass Effect is better than the sequel.

PS3, Nintendo Wii, and Xbox 360 are all terrible systems with terrible games (with only a few exceptions for each)

Shooters in general are completely over rated, and there is no reason for there to be so many.

Gaming has been going downhill for the last several years, and the majority of games that are put out take absolutely no thought, skill, or strategy.

The only real good games that have been coming out recently have been remakes.

[QUOTE="17771771"]Mass Effect is better than the sequel.

foxhound_fox

Also, more opinions:

I felt that everyone in Far Cry 2 was too short. It was like a world inhabited by "little people"

Ubisoft, while ambitious, tries to do too much with their games (Far Cry 2, Assass. Creed) without focusing on core elements of the game (combat, characters, traveling) and instead on the fluff (fire, tall building, Zebras)

Call of Duty is a one trick pony

Star Wars Republic Commando had fantastic controls, story, and gameplay. I believe it to be one of the best shooters I have ever played.

Square Enix is a shadow of what Squaresoft was. The games need a drastic re-haul that focuses on fun, choices, story, better characters, and an interesting world.

Thane Krios & Wrex > Are two of the greatest support characters in any game ever made

Army of Two and its sequel is one of the greatest bad games ever made. I sincerely hope they make the series less arcadey, focus on story, better controls, and a gun customization that makes the gun feel different from each other

I want a watered-down Mass Effect loot system; like the first but better. I also want to get experience per kill/achievement instead on at the end of every mission. I HATED that!!!

Movie-based games should just...stop

Tactical FPS/TPS > Any other type of shooter

SCC is one of the best games I have ever played; however, I wish they had not taken out ALL of the things that made the previous game great (Lockpicking, Disabling security, moving bodies, etc.)

If games are going to offer choices it shouldn't be "this" or "that". We should be able to choose from a handful of very heavy and influental choices.

Voice Acting limits choices in RPGs.

Guns need to feel unique in shooters

Doom is one of the worst series ever made.

Killzone 2 needs to seriously kill off Rico.

No more space marines.

FarCry 2 is a good game

GTAIV is a great game

Nintendo fell flat on its face after the amazing N64

Assassin's Creed 1 isn't at all a bad game, just repetitive

Party chat is useless

Online gamers aren't real gamers

Uncharted takes a dump all over the Gears Of War series

Mercenaries 2 is a fun game

Resident Evil 4 is the best in the entire series and one of the best games of all time (it's in my top 5)

Oblivion is a great game

Pacing and fun > difficulty and depth

Dualshock > 360 controller

Playstation Home is pretty neat

Red Dead Redemption is meh

That's all I can think of right now.

Cinematic Gaming is the worst thing to happen the industry. Dephending on how it is done, I dont mind casualization (Super Guide was great). No Voice Acting>>>>>Voice Acting. Uncharted is the worst gaming series I have ever had the misfortune of experiencing.
