Your dumbest opinions

Gacha games are worth it as they present a soft-core porn middle ground in video games from effort-heavy modding Skyrim SE and porn games, and effort-heavy single players like Crimson Desert, Modded Re Engine games plus other Capcom games who happen to have sexy outfits/characters.
I think two of mine count. I watched Hard Target when it came out and thought Jean-Claude Van Damme's hair was so cool in that movie that I adopted the permed, super curly Tennessee mudflap as a style. Early 90's me thought that was rad. And of course it went well with the neon pinks and yellows that were popular at the time. And the parachute pants. My Mom still has a picture of me playing golf with that look. And it is the ultimate leverage, I'd do almost anything to keep that picture from getting out.
And the other, I haven't grown out of. I absolutely unironically love the movie Hudson Hawk. A DVD copy with an extra of Bruce Willis' blues band performing "The Ballad of Hudson Hawk" is one of my prized possessions.

I think David Cage's (Quantic Dream's) games are great games. Yes, I'm the one.
Started with Indigo Prophecy; I loved it. I literally bought a PS3 and my first HD TV just so I could play Heavy Rain; I loved it. Beyond Two Souls? I Loved it. And the only reason I've not played Detroit: Become Human is because it's not on Xbox, but now that the PS4 is an older system I might be able to find on the cheap, don't put it past me to buy one just to play Detroit: Become Human.
I always suspected lol

All my opinions are dumb, there's no easy pick. They circle relentlessly prodding n poking while trying to sleep. They haunt n mock if a glance half catchea a shoddy rambling last text wall. Shame starts even before hit post button. Is pathologal probably by now. The dumbest one is thinking there's a chance of extracting anything positive from sharing them at all
My dumbest opinion is probably that despite my continuing efforts to change it, I actually do care what people think of my opinions enough that I hesitate to share any that may be disagreed with, and when I do a review on Letterboxd, I have to actively make myself not look at the average until right before I rate the movie, lest I start feeling less confident in my own feelings on the film be "right" if I'm too far off from the average in my thoughts on either side.
Before recently, I though Final Fantasy 8 was the coolest game ever. The most amazing RPG and story and graphics.
I don't how I ended up with a PlayStation and that game. I don't know why I never played a FF game before that and after until FF7 remake. I don't know why I was not aware of FF7 while the rest of the world was rocked by it. I just wasn't following gaming at the time and really wasn't playing games alone like I did as a kid or I do now. But somehow FF8 came into my life and did not let go.

I had even played FF7 first, and still liked 8 better when I got my hands on it. For me it was just timing. I was hitting a particularly busy time in life and had very little time to game. My run through 7 had taken hundreds of hours, and I didn't have that kind of time to commit. And I love 8 because it was so streamlined. To this day I can barrel through it in a few dozen hours. I do acknowledge that 7 is the superior game, but the grind gets me and I lose interest. But with 8, each new area gets you about 20 minutes of grind and then you are good to go. A much better pace.
I think this is a really interesting insight to reviewing. After all, a review is itself a creative endeavour, and so with it comes all sorts of similar issues about feedback, comparison to other work, reputation etc.
Obviously all my opinions are sparkling gems of brilliance and anyone who can't recognize that is the one deficient in intelligence.
Hundreds of hours for FF7? It's not that long of a game, even my first playthrough when I was 13 took me less than 70. My playthrough last year was only 36 hours. I've never bothered with the superbosses though, maybe that's where the extra hundreds of hours of grind comes from.
Don't be too down yourself. Regardless of "popular/unpopular" response, your opinion is your own. And while i'm may disagree or agree, as long as come from the heart, that's all that matters to me.
As an offshoot of this, it took me three times to play through it mainly because…the music was just too sad. That fucking space cutscene was too much the second time and I quit shortly after.
Silent Hill 4 was another I quit at least twice before finally having a successful playthrough, but it was because the game’s jank was almost as disturbing as the thematic stuff.
Evil West is better than Norse GOW duology.
Shadow Warrior 3 is better than Doom Eternal and Dark Ages.

Is that a dumb opinion? It's one of the most beloved games ever. You are far from the first person I've encountered who idolizes that game. And it's a good game so it makes sense for it to be one of those games that has its ardent fans.
