Unpopular Opinions (Video Game Edition)

[thedude3445]

I'm not sure on the stats on this but I'm not sure this is actually unpopular. Halo 3 is my favorite Halo by a mile and the favorite of most friends I know. A lot of people loved Halo 2 at release but I think by this point Halo 3 is usually considered the superior game.

i never seen a single game effectively execute it's "racism allegories"; like DBH was tone deaf (in several areas really) and the fact that the only interesting character/story was the cops is pretty sad (the actors are what carried it imo. even if i like the guy from grey's i couldn't stand his storyline)

Maybe I'm just silly because I played them at ages 13 and 18, but I thought that Fire Emblems Path of Radiance & Radiant Dawn did its racism allegory stuff really good, like way better than most games I've played. Again, I was just a kid, but I really enjoyed the stories for those games for many reasons, and that was certainly one of them.

This is just my opinion and I don´t want to provoke anyone with it but there are only
2 games which will still be played in 20 years from now on by a large amount of people,
all other games will be played too by nostalgia nerds but only 2 will stay really popular.
And those two are:
Tetris and Minecraft

[VibrantFox]

i actually agree with this and i look forward to what minecraft of the future has to offer

I thought about that when I was playing minecraft with my brother and his daughters.
We are both 45-50 and the kids are 10-14 years old. We are playing it since years together and
it´s still fun to build a new world and start from scratch. The cool thing about the game is that
it´s complex and a big world with unlimited things to do and build and that it never ends,
there is no real goal in the game, I think that is what makes it so enjoyable and long lasting

Unpopular opinion: Nintendo is the worst and I will never change my mind about it.

Also I could not care less about cyberpunk if I tried

come fight me
(I also dislike Personas because they are -gross- )

[Puck]

not much to fight about

[Puck]

I two other ones,
Fallout New Vegas is the best part of the series
GTA San Andreas is the best in the GTA series

Sonic is a pretty meh franchise that only became big cause it rivaled mario and was 2kool4skool.

Yeah I think tetris and minecraft just hit a really good sweet point of just...almost like meditation as you play. I'm kinda bummed that I get motion sickness really easily so I can't play Minecraft since the POV is from the view of the character. But man Tetris? I can play Tetris for hours and I won't know what happened to the passing of time.

I HATE online games. I cant stand the thought of people having to rely on my concentration (and internet connection) for more than five minutes. I will only ever play games that are single player.

Edited to add:
Also if someone was mean to me online I'd probably just cry haha.

[DiegoPalacios]

I have the same issues with online games, except for games that don't rely on teams or games that have short matches (like a couple of minutes)

[arxianfall]

Dragon Age 1 & 2 were both better than Inquisition. Inquisition was mostly busy work meant to eat up your time.

The first one was a pretty carefully crafted story tailored for a videogame.
The second one was a rush job with a solid storytelling foundation.

I didn't even touch Inquisition. Nothing about it intrigued me.

March 2021 UPDATE: Valheim.

There's no multiplayer game on the market right now that lands between casual and hardcore, non battle royale that I can enjoy with my recently turned gamer friends.

There was Killing Floor2 but we played that to death. The game is considered dead by the dev for 2021.
There's WoW but the time time commitment isn't appealing for someone in their thirties.

If you like top down shooters i recommend you Brawl stars.

Matches are short and the game is easy to learn.

The app is free and while one can pay real money to gain stuff it's not a "pay to win" because skill is always more relevant.

Final Fantasy 13 was rubbish.

This.

I'd never actually played a Final Fantasy game before and decided to give this one a go (which was the newest one at the time).
All the exposition just going on about Fal'Cie, L'Cie, Cie'th... ugh. Just S'top.

[Because_why_not]

I guess my unpopular opinion is that Tales of Graces F was pretty fun for me.

That and that I play Tales games lol

[surenlicious]

The never should have made Zelda the incarnation of Hylia.

To add to that, I really don't see the point of her being Link's ultimate girlfriend my god. Besties? Sure. Nothing romantic though.

I generally dislike open world games. XD They are filled with way too many pointless side quests and I don't appreciate that the campaign is usually pathetically short but that if you do the sidequests, they are LONGER than the campaign. WTF? LOL. Gimmee Baten Kaitos or Xenogears any day over that! Super long campaigns and only a few sidequests!

Let's see... I actually REALLY liked Skward Sword--it's one of m favorites hides from critical eyes and I think Breath of the Wild was pretty dang overrated. Definitely not a game for me, haha.

Oh, I also love most of the games put out by Sonic Team, and I honestly kind of enjoyed Sonic Generations more than Mario Galaxy. Hot damn, I kinda loved the story book games a lot.

[ar-ninetysix]

Skyward Sword gets no love fr everybody bags on it for being awful with the motion controls and the linearity, but I never had an issue with either

And Breath of the Wild makes it way too easy to kill the difficulty of the game and relies too heavily on Korok seeds to fill the play time. Those side quests give you nothing but junk and pocket change tbh the only quest worth doing is Tarrey Town and that's it lmao
