Unpopular opinions

Unpopular video game opinions thread.

1: America hasn't produced a good video game in ten years, every game worth playing has either been from Europe or Japan.

2: In recent years I've only been able to enjoy a game if it has a good story and/or atmosphere, games that are predicated on gameplay alone feel really hollow for me now for some reason. People say "if you want story, watch a movie" but the stories I've found in video games have been more engaging and original than any movie I've seen in years.

Post your unpopular opinions regarding video games.

Game of the year awards are not needed in todays time since it is at the end of the day just a popularity poll
Interactive movies are not videogames and should have a media of their own
Rocket league is a really fun game despite lootboxes

Video games are fun.

Bump.

Indie games are garbage 95% of the time.

GG was a good thing. The effect it had was not.

females in gaming were great until 2013.

Nothing is worth playing.

MMORPGs was a great genre that I wish could come back.

Normies killed everything I enjoy.

yes, this is who you think it is, Sink.

Kero Blaster > Cave Story
People focusing on whether a game is Western/Japanese/Sony/Nintendo/Indie/AAA are absolute retards. Every sector of gaming produces some good shit and some bad shit, and there's no reason to get autistic over what fucking company it's form. A good game is a good game.
Niche games should remain niche. There's nothing wrong with admitting a game isn't for you.
"Walking simulator" is a fucking stupid term invented by retards who don't understand that not ever game has to be high-action. The fun you get out of a game can be the relaxing sort of fun one gets from Yume Nikki as much as it can be from the more skill-based pleasure from more conventional games. There's nothing wrong with not liking that sort of thing, of course, but saying that Exploration games are "walking simulators" and therefore not games is fucking retarded.
Games are art. That doesn't mean all art has to be deep or meaningful, of course, and the same applies to games, but games and the design of games (as well as the more conventionally artistic aspects of them) are a valid form of art.
Treehouse can do translation well when they are given more freedom to make things up and add things is rather than just being restricted to shit direct translations and the removal of "offensive" things. Animal Crossing is a prime example of this, with the GCN Animal Crossing having one of the best localizations in Nintendo history, so good that it was released in Japan as a sort of "definitive addition". Kid Icarus: Uprising is another great example.
SEGA has a lot of amazing, talented people willing to work for them and Puyo is the best barometer of how retarded SEGA's staff is. Current Puyo games are made by a bunch of bumblefucks who can't draw for shit, can't write for shit, and have never worked on a GOOD Puyo game before, so it shows that current SEGA is AIDS at the moment.
Compile Puyo is fucking lame and the Puyo Puyo series would be better off focusing on the Fever/2 cast.

Op here I'm not sink. Whoever that is, GG was really bad as a whole it literally caused a cultural paradigm shift that's ripples caused the polarisation of politics as we know it today.

Microtransactions and lootboxes for purely cosmetic changes are not a bad thing and shouldn't affect your enjoyment of a game whatsoever.

If you are an asshole to people in a video game, they are right to ban you and the game is better off without you.

Nearly all games Sup Forums says is shit are actually okay.

NAtURAL DOCtRINE was Game of the Year 2014.

HATRED was Game of the Year 2015 purely due to being rated AO for Adults Only.

The Order: 1886 is the best game of all time.

Thrill Kill's the best fighting game ever.
REST IN PEACE. NEVER FORGET.

The original Devil May Cry's a masterpiece. The rest should be fucking deleted.

DOOM 3's the only good DOOM game.

Anachronox is the best JRPG ever made.

Warrior Within's the only good Prince of Persia game.

God of War rapes the living fuck outta Bayonetta. Bitch looks like a disgusting freak.

Vanilla Fallout 4 was the best Fallout

Cosmetic isn't an excuse, back in the days of the ps2 you unlocked character skins by playing the game, why should that change now? You're just justifying and accepting a shitty deal.

Games where you walk around and look at pretty stuff/lost civilizations are lame

Games don't need to look better than 1080p/1440p. 4K is a meme just like Blueray.

Edgy.

I'm convinced that games journalism sites do goty awards because they're contoversial, and that means free views and traffic.

NAtURAL DOCtRINE's the best SRPG ever made.

The Suffering's better than anything Japan has to offer in the horror department.

The original Diablo's better than Diablo II. It's not even close.

Manhunt's the best stealth series ever.

Star Wars was never good.

Monster Hunter's dog shit when you can't attack with the right analog stick.

TUROK 2008's better than the original games. It's not even close.

Lords of the Fallen has the best armor design ever.

Squall's the only good Final Fantasy protagonist.

If a game came out and didn't have any unlockable skins, people wouldn't complain. If a game comes out and has unlockable skins that are behind a lootbox, people lose their fucking minds.

I'm convinced "game journalism" sites need to fucking die.

Building a gaming PC is a ridiculous idea when all the best games will run on an old toaster. Most gamers haven't played the best games ever made because they're too obsessed with the shiny new AAA game as a service that was built to milk their wallets.

Exactly what I meant by "GG was a good thing. The effect it had was not." you're talking about the effect. I am not a fan either.

This is doubly true when cloud gaming with extremely low latency is so close to becoming a reality. They already have it in some places.

Because those skins they made could have been unlocked through gameplay, making the game better, but instead they're behind a paywall, the devs chose to put them there.

Persona 4 The Golden is a boring book where you just press X to go to the next line of dialog but has hardly any game play.

Final Fantasy is gay as fuck.

Japanese games copy and paste from each other and make the same games over and over again just like their anime.

>the stories I've found in video games have been more engaging and original than any movie I've seen in years
It's because you're actively participate in the story, and not just observe it. That's why video games is the top tier medium, and the hardest to work with.

What are your thoughts on Puyo Puyo Tetris?

Metacritic means less than nothing.

Nintendo turned to shit right when the Wii dropped. Addicted to casual cash.
REST IN PEACE.

CONDEMNED's better than anything Japan has to offer in the horror department.

The Evil Within rapes the fuck outta Resident Evil.

If you have Team Fortress 2 in your mosaic, you're worthless. Your opinions are trash.

Most Zelda fans are gay. Check the sheer amount of faggotry involved. Link dressed like a bitch. Animal Crossing. It's fucking pathetic.

Kirby was never good.

GoldenEye 007's better than the vast majority of all N64 games.

FF is indeed, "gay as fuck"

>Kero Blaster > Cave Story
What the fuck.

There hasn't been a videogame worth playing in over 20 years. Oh wait, that's a fact.

I wish condemned 2 got a PC release, the first one is one of my all time favorite games.

The point is that skins don't matter and never have.

Cosmetics are legit the number one reason I can't play Overwatch anymore. They rewarded you for playing with them and then when there's an event you can't actually play enough hours to guarantee you'll get the cosmetics you want. So, it ends in disappointment. The game would be better without any kind of lootboxes at all because I would not have been trained like a rat to get excited about worthless lootboxes. Overwatch is a game that could have been built to be timeless, but instead they fucked it up in so many ways I regret it and sadly I bought it twice.

Sonic was never good.

People that enjoy e-celeb faggotry should be permanently banned. Watch a fucking Longplay. Holy shit. Losers.

Sup Forums was legitimately fantastic in 2007. The comics people made were rushed, but infinitely more hilarious than the lazy shit that gets posted today.

If they don't matter then why do people chase them? Why do people enjoy having them? If they don't matter then why doesn't everyone just stay with the vanilla and roll with it, it doesn't matter, after all?

Oh god, they reward you for playing with them? How?

The casual/hardcore division should be based on how many games you play not what games you play. The normal player is casual because he plays just 1-3 games a year, while someone who is constantly playing and progressing thro many games should be called "hardcore".
It works like that for film buffs and book worms, it only isn't like that in gaming because of the majority juvenile demographic.

They're fun the first few times, but gets old quick unless the story is incredible.

Pokemon games and "monster catcher" games in general are trash. Those games are directly responsible for the cancer that is "gacha-games" and lootboxes.

Clive Barker's Jericho, Hunted: the Demon's Forge, The Dark Eye: Demonicon all are ~8/10 games

Did he pasta way?

that first one is false though, at least if you count indie games. indie games have been knocking out out of the park, especially as of late.

Oblivion is the greatest rpg ever made.

You must be 18 to post here

Told you it was an unpopular opinion. Everyone should stop trying to be a special snowflake and focus on the actual game.

...

Like what? Most good indie's are from Britain, Scandinavia or Canada?

I don't like it. The localization is half-assed (despite some of the voice actors trying their best to stop sounding shit even with the awful direction and translation), but even aside from that it has the same problems every Puyo game released after 15th anniversary has had; the Puyo 7 team. Seriously, I've got no clue why SEGA keeps hiring that band of bumbling retards back. PPT is severely lacking in content, has probably one of the worst artstyles in the series to date, is balanced worse than a blizzard game, and STILL refuses to go back to the fucking storylines and characters that SEGA started, instead opting to actually remove some of those characters instead of the age-old, busted-ass Compile characters. Those characters wouldn't even be that bad if it weren't for the Puyo 7 team having the worst writers in the series history, removing all of Arle's smarminess, reducing Satan to "FUCK THE JAILBAIT", reducing Rulue to "FUCK THE DEVIL", and in general just bungling up every good thing about Puyo in general.
I'd post the Amite design comparison chart where you can see the visual style of the series fucking tank as soon as the Puyo 7 team happens, but I didn't actually save it. Instead, have the creatively bankrupt 7 team's original Ringo design: A fucking meguca.

Kane and lynch 2 is an amazing game, but nobody understood it.

I do have my doubts that cloud gaming will ever be a solution for the masses. One major problem is that Internet service providers are shit and latency can be a real problem with those services. That said, it does seem like an incredible future if it goes that way. I do like owning the games I play though and not a huge fan of games as a service.

Metal Gear Solid was never good.

Dino Crisis is better than Resident Evil.

Onimusha will never not be dope as fuck.

Nintendo should release a Pikmin torture simulator.

Abyss Odyssey's better than every Super Smash game combined.

HERETIC's bettet than DOOM.

kill.switch did it first. Gears of War didn't innovate shit.

Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy deserved a sequel.

Urban Chaos: Riot Response is the only good Rocksteady game.

Capeshit's garbage. I'm legit mad that the next big Sony exclusive is a fucking Spider-Man game.

I really want to try the Dark Souls game, but I just can't get into it with a quick save/ quick load function. The punishment for failure is too high for a game about experimenting and failing.

OP is clearly a weeb and weebs are incapable of enjoying anything the Japs don't tell him to like.

>Heretics better than doom

Mah nigga

canada is america. you can't say fucking europe when most irrelevant shit holes haven't produced anything on that continent

Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is a fucking masterpiece.


I'm too tired to continue. Holy fuck. Feels good to get it all out.

Thank you. That's all really interesting to me because it's the first game in the series I've played at all and I have to admit I'm enjoying it in spite of my lack of knowledge of the series. Though I will say that story mode has felt ridiculously childish so far. It's like a really bad cartoon.

See -

Truth.

You just get over dying and I find that replaying the areas until you master them is really relaxing. It's like you start to live in the world and it almost puts me in a Tetris trance. So few games do that to me these days.

>lists 1080p
>calls blueray a meme
DVDs look like fucking shit.

nier automata is a piece of shit game and everyone needs to stop lapping up whatever platinum shits out
the only redeeming feature is the "woah so deep" storyline, and that's not much good either.

Found it.
And yeah, that's what the writing has been since the 7 Team came in. Compile Puyo was the sort of smug asshole stuff you'd expect from a 90s arcade game, and Fever->Fever 2->15th were very lighthearted, but still had some interesting fleshing out of the characters in a way that really made you want to get to know them a lot more. It says a lot that the 7 team used their very first game to go to a completely different universe with their Idolm@ster-voiced OCs and a sparse, shitty plot that was basically just fucking around and sucking off hollow shells of the compile characters for hours on end until the game stopped. I'd strongly reccomend that you play Fever, Fever 2 with the translation patch, and either play 15th with the translation patch or watch it on youtube (Since only the DS version got a fantranslation) bexause god, Fever 2 and 15th especially make you realize just how much lamer 7-onwards is, especially with the friendly letters and shit characters write you in Fever 2.

Well, if companies go with the Blade model then you would still own your games. (at least as much as you own a GoG or Steam game) You'd just install them on a remote gaming computer that you rent instead of paying for it all upfront. Then you can play anything you want on a laptop or your tv without ever having to update your video card in this post-cryptocurrency hellscape.

They definitely still have to convince me that the latency is low enough. But if it is, I'd go for it.

If you don't think Mount & Blade: Warband is one of the best games ever made then you're nothing to me kiddo.

Vita's a great handheld despite Sony doing everything they could've to sabotage it.

Rule of Rose's combat wasn't good but it's also not as bad as it's often made out to be.

Dark Souls II is better than Dark Souls. Sorry, I don't give the latter's back half a free pass, it generally sucks dick.

I liked Resident Evil Revelations, Dead Space 1, and both Evil Within games more than Resident Evil 4.

Skyward Sword isn't a great Zelda by any means but it's better than Breath of the Wild.

Mirror's Edge Catalyst is better than the original.

I don't understand why resolution fuckery is pushed so hard when modern consoles don't even have fucking 1080p/60FPS down as an effortless standard.

Gravity Rush is the best new IP of this generation.

Silent Hill Origins is as good as Silent Hill 4. Story notwithstanding, it was a passable enough take on classic SH for a handheld game.

Gone Home had great storytelling prowess. Shame it didn't have a good story to tell, though.

Castlevania 64 was a pretty decent game and grossly overhated.

Open world's really only any good if the game has interesting movement mechanics. I have no interest in hundred hour long open playgrounds if base character movement isn't fun, and if it isn't then the game is probably better off linear.

Spirit Camera was a good game. Not as good as any proper Fatal Frame but its faults lie more with the shitty 3DS cameras than the actual game content.

Now I have something else to do. Had no idea the series was this big. I didn't even know what Puyo Puyo was before Tetris. That kind of made me curious and pulled me in.

Battlefield 4 graphics are fucking terrible and did not age well at all.

I'm not hating on battlefield, but the shit looks like Xbox 360 level graphics

>Skyward Sword isn't a great Zelda by any means but it's better than Breath of the Wild.

I can see how somebody could say that because BotW feels like a world and physics engine in search of a game, but man some of Skyward Sword really gets dull and the combat can get really frustrating because motion controls lack the precise feedback that a button press has. Unlike a lot of critics of the game I feel the motion control is great. It's just too hard for most people to actually learn to use. They swing the wrong way and they think they're doing the wrong motion. Then they get mad at the game and controls for doing the wrong move when it's the random panicked flailing of the player that's at fault.
