What are some of your most unpopular gaming opinions?

Here are some of mine.

- The Last of Us is the best Uncharted game.

- I prefer EarthBound to Mother 3 (both great games though).

- As much as I love all Persona games up from 3, I still can't bring myself to say P5 tops P4G.

- Majora's Mask is my favorite Zelda game (and my personal favorite game of all time), but Ocarina of Time is great too.

- I couldn't care less about PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds or Fortnite. PUBG, while fun, is kind of the COD equivalent of battle royale games. Fun for like 20 matches, plays well and looks good, but also incredibly generic and doesn't do anything to stand out. Fortnite at least tries to stand out with its artstyle and base-building mechanics, but again, there's nothing it does that makes it super engaging in the long run.

- Although the community is incredibly toxic and cringy, when taken as a game itself, I don't think Minecraft deserves the bad rep it gets.

- As much as the Wii U was a bad piece of hardware, I still love it as a fun little console with some great games and I don't think the Switch would've been what it was without the Wii U.

- Pokemon Sun and Moon had cool ideas from a presentation/story standpoint, but their gamplay felt like the dev team looked at FFXII's hallways and thought that would make a cool overworld. They sacrificed almost every bit of gameplay fidelity, the online system sucked, whereas X/Y/OR/AS's was good, and they removed Triple Battles. Why?! Don't get me wrong, I still think they're good... but... not that good.

- FFVII is the best glorified minigame collection to ever exist. (Still love the game though).

- I think motion controls, when done right, can add a lot to a game. Just look at Splatoon and Metroid Prime 3. When they're done wrong... we get crap like Star Wars Kinect.

- I appreciate all the time and care that was put into Stardew Valley and I love the presentation and music, but I just cannot get into it because literally EVERYTHING in it is so tedious. Inventory management, the energy meter, having to walk across your entire town over and over and over just so I can make some progress in the mines from day to day (why no fast-travel?), actually being able to talk to the residents of your town, let alone getting to know them, etc.

- Crash Bandicoot, while I want to love it for the presentation, visuals, music, and animation, I just can't enjoy it because of the controls and camera. Which idiot thought making a 3D platformer with a d-pad would work? The gameplay (the most important aspect of a platformer) wasn't really made better in the remake, and whenever I'm looking to get my 3D platformer fix, I just turn to one of the 3D Marios, Banjo-Kazooie, or A Hat in Time.

Tomb Raider 2013 and ROTR are 2 of worst games ever ever made

Only Good Resident Evil is Resident evil 7

GTA is most overrated series of all time.

Max payne 3 is best rockstar game of all time despite its weak max payne game

The witcher 3 is mediocre to average game and this generation most overrated game.

90% of open world games are trash

90% of third person shooters are bad

Bioshock infinite is worst AAA FPS game ever ever made. its really that bad

Metro series is best newly debut series of this decade (2010s)

Wolfenstein new order, old blood, new collosus absolutely suck and disgrace towards wolfenstein games and FPS

NOLF suck and was terrible game. it was just goldeneye for PC. and people like it just for the sake of nastolgia

Goldeneye donot deserve to be called classic because it suck compare to PC FPS of that time

Doom 2016 is best game of this generation and best FPS of decade.

uncharted, last of us are more of hollywood movies than games

Alan wake is best third person horror action game ever

Mafia 1 is best third person game in general ever made.

Far Cry 2 is best Far cry game

Half Life 2 while being one of the best game of its time is now incredibly date and not fun to play compare to DOOM

@ghosts4ever: "Tomb Raider 2013 and ROTR are 2 of worst games ever ever made"

Definitive Edition was good. Rise was a step back but still not bad.

"GTA is most overrated series of all time."

If its based on 4 and 5 then agreed. But the PS2 GTAs were really good.

" uncharted, last of us are more of hollywood movies than games"

UC4 sucked big time. What a snoozefest.

I used to play the demo alot but wasn't impress with Last of Us full game.

@ghosts4ever: Agree with you on DOOM being amazing and GTA being highly overrated.

I enjoy No Man's Sky.

God of War is not very good

@xantufrog: You ENJOY No Man's Sky? BLASPHEMY! (just kidding though we need to respect opinions more)

Metal Gear Survive is a much better open world game compare to Phantom Pain.

@toonlonk: heh, yeah it's a deeply flawed game, but I find it very zen and it's honestly kind of what I was looking for

No GTA 3 and Vice City are much better than that cover shooter.

- The original 5 Tomb Raiders are the best Tomb Raider, by a mile.

- Phantom Hourglass is way better than OOT

@uninspiredcup: You didn't hate the Temple of the Ocean King?

The opnions on this thread are not just unpopular, they're completely incoherent with real life.

Doom 2016 sucks

Driveclub is amazing after all the updates

Metal Gear Survive is pretty good

DmC is the best Devil May Cry

Yes.

Still a better game imo.

What cover?

@calvincfb: Unpopular not in the way of being widely hated in pretty much all gamers' eyes, but in the way of sparking quite a bit of subjective scrutiny. "Unpopular" does not mean others cannot agree and sumpathize with your own opinion.

Opinions are subjective and no opinion is an objective fact.

@ezekiel43: I have played that and in final levels it forces you to play cover instead of run and gun similar to old ones.(Max is also pretty slow and bullet time is too short)

@ezekiel43: Regardless of the gameplay, I still thought Max Payne 3 lacked much of the charm that made other Max Paynes so special. Oh well though. Still a fun game.

No, it doesn't. Below are the last two levels. How much cover did I use?

Quantum Break and Uncharted 4 are more similar than dissimilar. I hated them both for the same reason but Uncharted 4 was slightly better.

Using a lot of cover in MP3 is a quicker way to die. Bullet time too short? MP3 is easy because of how much bullet time there is. MP3 has much more interesting movement than the old games.

Let's see...

-Super Mario Galaxy 2 is nothing more than a mission pack sequel

-The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind did not age well

-Super Smash Bros. 4 is a disappointment that sadly overshadowed one superior fighter on the same console. Brawl was the last great one unless Smash Switch changes that.

-Crystal era Tomb Raider games are the change the series needed.

-Dishonored is superior to Deus Ex: Human Revolution (though I like both).

-Fallout 4 is superior to Fallout 3 (though NV owns both).

And yet in the final gunfight before the final car ride you used cover most of the time instead of run and gun, And due to New York minute the game may be(aren't certain about it) balanced more on run and gun than the hard difficulty.(Similar to max payne 1 where enemies in NY minute are as hard as standard difficulty)

That was actually the first time during that final gunfight that I decided to run and gun, which you can see me say in the description. I was thrilled that I could when previously I had always stayed in cover and assumed running and gunning wasn't even an option. As for New York Minute using the Medium difficulty, one of my earliest videos (which I'm not gonna post) was me playing chapter XIII on Old School and you can see me running and gunning there too. Max Payne 3 IS a run and gun shooter, one of the last of its kind. It's pretty obvious most of the people who bitch about it being a cover shooter aren't even good at it.

Who cares about the Witcher 3

Dark souls is boring.

Zelda botw is crap due the weapons system

Did we have a thread on this question last month?

@onesiphorus: Did we? Sorry, haven't been on in a while.

I enjoyed both Mass Effect Andromeda and Sea of Thieves (which I'm still enjoying)

Naughty Dog haven't made a single game better than a 8/10 this gen or last (most are worse) and their games play like crap, only get by on production values.

Pirahna Bytes open world RPGS > Bethesda RPGs

-I prefer stylized graphics (with color) over realistic graphics.

-FPS/War games suck

-Gameplay>Great music>Story>Graphics

-Building games are the greatest genre. I would rather make my own fun in gaming and prefer less direction and more choice. (Star Bound, Terraria Trove, Landmark, Minecraft, Pixark, Portal Knights ,Dragon Quest Builders etc.)

-Nintendo>Sony and it is not even close. (Still LOVE Sony btw)

-I like No Man's Sky and will continue to enjoy it for years to come as more is added.

-I am fine with pay to win in MMOs. (Someone has to pay to keep the updates coming after all.)

@mojito1988: Agree. (except for No Man's Sky but whatever)

Lol all of ghost4ever thread in a single post.

@stereointegrity: Gonna have to play devil's advocate here, but BOTW wouldn't really be the same game without the weapons system. The fast-degrading weapons system helps the combat from getting stale, as it would REALLY quick if the durability system wasn't in place. Players would have no incentive to try out anything else, to push the game to its limits and find out what kind of crazy stuff the devs put in. Frankly, it gives them little reason to explore at all. Second, the game was really trying to push that whole "quiet apocalyptic landscape" atmosphere, and it would lose all gameplay continuity with the story trying to tell you "this is a fragile, broken world" if you were picking up overpowered, unbreakable, or really-hard-to-break weapons left and right across the world. I like it when games can tell their story through gameplay, and BOTW's weapons really hammered home the effect of Ganon's devastation.

TL;DR, complaining about weapon durability in BOTW is like complaining about the moon in Majora's Mask. Both can be frustrating in the short term and could turn off new players, but both story/gameplay wise in the long term, the game is better off and the gameplay loop would be effectively broken without them.

Respect your opinion, though, and understand you are entitled to your own viewpoint.

@toonlonk: I get what you're saying and still chugging along with the play through. But at times the weapon degradation is getting on my nerves

Mass effect Andromeda is a great game and certainly better than Mass Effect 3.

I enjoy playing 1st person shooters with stupid AI and/or silly storylines - like Ghost Sniper 3.

And some old-school opinions :

The Sega Saturn should have sold as well as the PS1.

Final Fantasy 1-5 are the best games in the series because they were a lot harder.

The original Street Fighter 2 is by far the best game in the long-running series.

@toonlonk: whenever I'm looking to get my 3D platformer fix, I just turn to one of the 3D Marios, Banjo-Kazooie, or A Hat in Time.

You should check out Rayman Legends and maybe even Fur Fighters.

@uninspiredcup The original 5 Tomb Raiders are the best Tomb Raider, by a mile.

Have you played Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation? I actually bought it. Last year. I then burnt it on a pentagram to send it back whence it came.

These are my unpopular opinions:

• Nintendo is a very, very bad company. Their only good hardware were the Game Boy and Game Boy Advance.
• Pokemon is for infantry school children, and under (not over). Play a proper strategy game and stop liking Pokemon which is aimed at 5 year olds.
• The witcher 3 is mediocre to average game and this generation most overrated game. Copy.
• I would quite happily never see another zombie in my entire life.
• I am super duper uber bored of the horror genre.
• I am super duper uber bored of macho wacho willy waving characters, slutty female characters, designer beards and wry smiles.
• Modern games are too easy and hand holdy. This is out of (unfounded) fear and current trend, not because we now have 7tb hard drives and 50mbps internet connections etc.
• Cuphead is lame and doesn't even look all that hard.
• I am the best gamer in the entire world. [citation needed].
• Satan is a pussy.

Max Payne (for some reason as this has become the hot topic) was one of the most sophisticated and mature 3d shooter games in terms of the environment, atmosphere and characters within it and it was fun with a freaky nightmare level. I never played any others so can't comment. < that's not really a contentious opinion.

-GTA V is incredibly overrated

-Zelda: BOTW looks empty and boring

-Mass Effect: Andromeda is actually a decent game

-Naughty Dog games are good, but nothing special

-Nintendo relies too much on/succeeds mainly on nostalgia

@jackamomo: Knew about Rayman Legends, was talking about 3D platformers (Mario 64, Conker, etc.) not 2D ones (Rayman Legends, og Sonic, etc.)

@hrt_rulz01: Agree on GTA and most Naughty Dog games. TLOU, as stated before, is the exception. Also, if Nintendo succeeds mainly on nostalgia, then why did Hyrule Warriors, a game that literally feeds off of Zelda fans' nostalgia, get mediocre sales and reviews and a game like BOTW, which has close to nothing to do with every Zelda over the past 20 years, get millions of sales and near-perfect reviews? That's not nostalgia speaking, just good game design.

@toonlonk: Ah. I meant Rayman 2 (DC) which looks neat although I haven't played it...

@pmanden: Street Fighter 2 is great! At least better than 5.

30fps solid is a fine target frame rate for most games, max that resolution if you can

Ditto on Mass Effect Andromeda being good

Grrrrr at all the Witcher 3 hate. That's my jam.

So much Mass Effect: Andromeda love.

It deserved all the ridicule for the bugs and horrible animations. They fixed what they could, and otherwise the gameplay is solid. I'm not sure it deserved to die the way it did (no more updates, DLC, etc) but that's what happens when everyone jumps on the hate train.

@toonlonk: Everyone knows Third Strike is the best and BOTW is a glorified fetch quest.

@jackamomo: Nice opinion...

@toonlonk: Thanks.

TBH I've not played botw so I should shut up about that but that's what it looks like and Nintendo suck balls.

III'd Strike IS the best SF game if you ask a pro, ie. me ;).

Hardcore male gamers have terrible taste in video games.

I would rather pay for Barbie Makeup games, Dress up games, and Cooking Mama (along with other management restaurant games) then I would for most AAA Western games.

I actually like mobile games and indie games. They have some gems that hardcore gamers would enjoy if they weren't so closed minded.

Call of Duty is only great for Zombies. I don't care to play the rest.

Wind Waker is bad, and whoever created it should feel bad.

Sakurai needs to stop being a butthurt Leo and put a story mode back in Smash. Like Brawl's Subspace Emissary, but with dialogue.

Even though I can personally see why the Wii U flopped, I actually had fun with it.

Weapon Degradation is fucking shitty and shouldn't be in future games. Seriously, why make a game harder for no reason. *glares at hardcore male gamers who want a few extra days out of a game*

Nintendo is the best game making company and you will deal. I only wish they got into making more girly games (they have style savvy though, which is great, but I wish it had better graphics).

I don't get why some people clown Knack on the PS4. It's actually a solid game as far as gameplay and the art style goes. Though I do hate the story of: people of color are jealous of a nerdy white guy. It would actually be the other way around in real life, but no biggie.

@luxuryheart: Indie Games? Yes, easily. Mobile Games? You'd have a harder time convincing me. It's not that there aren't great games on mobile (the Sonic ports and Monument Valley come to mind), but that the vast majority of the games there are designed with being addicting (not in a good way) to an audience not well aquainted with what makes a good game. Mobile may have a few gems here and there, but I would in no way rather play Candy Crush and Clash of Clans than games like Nier: Automata and Mario Odyssey on console.

I prefer regular games like: solitaire, temple run, flow free, tetris, and management games. Like Cooking Fever and games like that. Sudoku is another great game. I'm sure there are others out there. Though you have to play games fit for mobile and that are great.

-The Batmobile of Batman Arkham Knight was crazy awesome.
