Your dumbest opinions

[Worgen]

Destiny 2's gunplay is boring. Shoot, jump, dodge, switch to secondary(shotgun?), maybe rocket/heavy weapon if needed.

Isn't that almost every FPS gameplay?

Most didn't follow OP's example. It wasn't supposed to be another "unpopular opinions" thread. Please lock.

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.

Well, a bit of an exaggeration. Maybe an extra hundred. It might have been around 150 or so. And it wasn't Omega Weapon, although I did defeat OW. I just hate not being over-leveled. So I get a new materia... time to grind it to the point where it can wipe encounters. Grinding levels for materia... takes forever. Dozens of combat encounters and endless walking back and forth trying to trigger them. With the junctioning in FF7, it was just way faster to get overleveled for each area.

In the hundreds of hours I spent in FF8 across probably a dozen playthroughs, I always drew 100 of each spell for at least 3 characters to maximize the junctioning benefits because I rarely actually casted any of the spells I collected. Was it tedious? Absolutely, but I so adore FF8, it was just a part of the experience for me. The one thing I always told my self I would do was mix up my parties and preferred junctions, but I almost always fell into the same arrangement, i.e.: Squall would always end up with Diablos, Quistis would always land on Quezacotl, Zell stayed out of any battle where he wasn't mandatory, etc. I always intended to play the game differently, but I so enjoyed my first playthrough, I kept going back to my same old ways. I still have my original CD-ROMs of FF8 from '99, and every PC I've had in the past decade has basically laughed when I tried to install them again. Yeah,I'm the guy who walks up to the Geek Squad desks and asks if the can repair my typewriter.

FF8 is comfort food for me. I still have my strategy guide from a billion years ago; it's one of maybe 3 guides I actually kept when I decided keeping most of them for games I'd never touch again was only adding to shit I'd have to move the next time I moved from one apartment to the next. I kept FF8, Halo 2, and FF13; the former two are sentimental, and I kept the latter simply because it was hardback and more an instruction manual than a guide since FF13 is impossible to intuit and enjoy at the same time.

Yeah, I go back to it every couple of years or so. And my party, I generally can't leave Selphie behind. Her limit break is too devastating. Throw the other 2 on defend and just do over until you get 3 Aura. If Squall is in the party, that means the fight is over. No matter which fight it is. Ultima or Omega Weapon is just tedious without her, and with her hitting 3 Aura and then Squall getting a Lionheart or 2 off... those fights become much more manageable.

You two are making my eyes twitch.
