what are your "unpopular" opinions on gaming?

[Aardvark Soup]

This opionion is probably only unpopular among a small group of people, but in my opinion 'classic' Sierra adventure games franchises like King's Quest, Space Quest and Leisure Suit Larry consist of bad games. They are not challenging or 'hardcore' or whatever, they are just horribly designed: a game should not be rendered unbeatable because you performed some meaningless arbitrary action in the beginning, especially not if that didn't happen because of a bug or oversight but because the designers are sadists.


Also, I actually liked the ending of Metal Gear Solid 2.

 

[Instant K4rma]

I dislike RTS as a genre.

I enjoy playing CoD, for the most part.

I was perfectly content with Dragon Age II, though I will admit it was a step in the wrong direction in relation to Origins.

I've been known to enjoy the Madden franchise. A lot.

I didn't like Aeris as a character in FF7. Found her irritating.

 

[Tohuvabohu]

I think Skyrim looks really fucking boring and I'm not interested in playing it at all.

This, big time. I thought she was boring, and didn't care when she died. Good riddance. Yes I felt this way when I was young and playing it for the first time.

 

[TH3BL1TZKR13G]

Red Dead Redemption was Shit.

I Liked Silent Hill: Homecoming

Regenerating Shields = OK Regenerating Health = Not OK

Bring Back Health Packs!!!

 

[Valorik]

Dragon Age 2 was a wonderful game.

 

[Thundero13]

I hate most games that have 'realistic' graphics, because they're just brown, it looks awful, on that note, I think one of the best looking games out there, is Wind Waker, I love it's cartoony style
What else... well I also generally don't like FPS's, and I love the wii
Umm, I know I have more... I love story in game... is that weird?

 

[Bloodstain]

1) I liked the first Kane&Lynch
2) Majora's Mask is better than Ocarina of Time

 

[neonsword13-ops]

I don't like Half-Life 2 all that much.

There, I said it.

 

[Brown_Coat117]

I think that most modern silent protagnists are outdated, harmful to games and products of lazy developers.

I didn't like Heavy Rain. Sure it had great moments but on a whole it was a boring and predictable game with poor gameplay mechanics and a plot that might have been able to fill a 2.5 hour movie not an 8-10 hour game.

I think that LA Noire is best characterized as a decent if underdeveloped dramatic story with some intersting mechanics tacked on to a seconed rated open world game.

I think that DA2 is a really good game with some very notable flaws, if not a good sequel to Origins (yes there is a difference between being a good game and a good sequel).

I don't mind cut scenes in game unless they are Metal Gear style 45 minute breaks from gameplay.

I don't think that having every romance choice in a game be Bisexual is a good choice. I'm not bashing this from a moral standpoint but from a character one.

 

[Xman490]

1. I liked Brutal Legend.

2. I don't know why people love Catherine so much.

3. I will never buy another Call of Duty (after Black Ops) or similar game.

4. Red Dead Redemption is only good for its story; its shooting and horseback riding don't hold a finger up to the story.

 

[Mister Shield]

Unpopular... alright.

Final Fantasy 7 was the worst FF from the ps2 era. Just an opinion of mine, not here to provide evidence or say which one is better. I just didn't like it compared to the others.

 

[Chelsea O'shea]

Most Japanese games, today, are just plain not good or at least not on par with western games. Lots of good intentions and zany ideas but it doesn't add up to an enjoyable game.

you,you sir or madame,you are correct.

 

[Dr. wonderful]

To all who say Half Life 2/Portal is boring, we get it already, damn it.

Anywaay, I like EA.
I love DA2
I love fallout 3
I consider TF2 F2P to be the best thing ever just for the fact I can kill more idiots.
I think Mass effect 2 kick the ever loving shit out of ME1.
Fallout 1 was the glitchest game I ever play and I thinl Fallout 2 was the hardest I ever play.
I like Crash twinsanity. I like it A LOT.

Not to be rude, But FF7 came out on PS1.

But yeah, FF7 Wasn't that good.

FF9 on the other hand...

 

[Shackels]

There is no such thing as "being cheap". If someone beats you with a "cheap tactic" you gotta learn how to beat it. Level your game up and quit bitching.

I fucking love you.
OT: Ermm..Dragon age II wasn't that bad?
I didn't find portal's gameplay all that enthralling.
90% of the time I'll forgive most gameplay flaws as long as the story and roleplaying is interesting enough.
that's all I got.

 

[Smerf]

MOST new games are boring and overpriced, (there are a few i still have hope for) and multiplayer is fine but i like a good story game. ex deus ex, system shock 2, and the half lifes.

 

[Warlord211]

1. Innovation is overrated

2. Portal 2 was better than the first

3. Half-Life 1 was awful and had no story, but Half-Life 2 was infinitely better

4. Metroid Prime 3 is the best of the series

5. Pokémon has been getting gradually better

6. Ocarina Of Time isn't that great

7. Mass Effect 2 was better than the first in just about every way

I pretty much agree with everything on here except 3 and 4 because i have never played the original Half-Life or Metroid 3.

1. Final Fantasy is overrated and is really not a very good series.

2. Call of Duty is not as bad as most people on this site would have you believe.

I can't really think of anything else right this moment.

 

[Dusk17]

I thought Too Human was an alright game, admitedly with a few obvious flaws.

ALSO WTF IS WITH THIS CAPTCHA, ITS A FUCKING GOOGLE ADD!

 

[The Rockerfly]

1. FPS genre is over saturated and then some

2. I don't care how bad the voices are in Oblivion, I prefer the bad dialogue than reading text

3. Halo Reach had the best multiplayer and gameplay while 3 had the best maps. Both have fairly shitty stories though

4. Pokemon sucks, it is a terrible turn based rpg that is aimed at collectomaniacs and that's it

5. Dragon Age was generic as fuck and utterly forgettable and Mass Effect was good but way way
waaaaaaay too much dialogue

6. TF2 is boring

7. Guitar hero saves lives

8. Fallout New Vegas is awful and Obsidian should be ashamed of themselves for releasing such a buggy mess

9. JRPGs are fun if done correctly but I understand why some might not enjoy them

10. The ps2 is better than the PC gaming market was in the same period of time

Feel free to rage hard

 

[TheRenaissanceMan]

I don't like the mass effect games, admittedly, I haven't properly experienced the second one.
