Unpopular Opinions about Video Games -

I'd complain that 2016 Gauntlet's endless mode is shit because you pretty quickly learn the only way to reach higher levels is to simply run away from everything and that fighting is only for when you're locked into a room you need to clear, and that your only reward is gold (that you can get using far easier ways) and going on to more floors, but I don't think anybody even remembers it.

I remember it, I vaguely remember having fun for a while but then I got Dark Souls 3 and Gauntlet was left to rot in my external hard drive. I think I preferred the original, anyway. My housemate and I frequently played it for a about a month, though, it was fun for a little time sink but not deep enough to keep attention for that long.

Metroid Prime is Over-rated and going into the FPS Genre was just the franchise chasing trends.

That's interesting. I never played the Prime games. You don't think they hold up?

I recall playing the first game right after playing Super Metroid and enjoying it immensely. It really translated the formula well into 3D I think.

Haven't played 2 or 3. All I know is that 2 is supposedly really hard.

They are good, but They are not the height of the series like everyone acts like they are.

None of the Smash Bros. games are bad. All of them are fun in their own way, even the gimped 3DS version of 4.
The only bad thing is the fanbase, full of elitists, spergs, and pedos. Unfortunately, this is an example of a series where the awful people aren't the vocal minority...

Prefacing this with Bloodborne was one of my favourite games ever, additionally I completed Dark Souls 1.

Dark Souls 3 is boring as fuck.

I’d say video games are boring, but that’s not an unpopular opinion to most people past a certain age.

What I will say is the 3D sonic games are by and large more interesting than the 2d games. They aren’t good, but the 2d games are literally just press right to win.

For me, while I don’t see myself giving up games anytime soon, I haven’t been playing as much due to having a full time job and trying to build something for myself. If I ever have a family, I’ll have even less so if at all. Which is fine because... well... kids.

And modern games are all mostly too expensive and samey looking to justify the price and time required out of them.

Neverwinter Nights is more engaging that most modern CRPGs, the online persistent worlds are more fun that current MMO's and the communities are better.

Paper Mario is overrated

 

[Yaoi Huntress Earth]

The soundtrack is lit.

I'm not sure the world needs an annual Persona release. Too dense, too formulaic. At least Eternal Punishment shook it up a little by focusing on adults.

I wouldn't mind another Persona game that had an adult cast or at least make them college students.

Grand Theft Auto (and derivative games) are one of the worst series of games out there, not for violent or sexual content, but because the games are basically just The Sims with guns, the plots and characters are generic, and there isn't anything resembling actually challenging or deep gameplay in single or multiplayer- it's basically just pure ADHD, or the game equivalent of a Michael Bay movie like Transformers - designed for people who don't want to even play a role game, and just get boners seeing shit get blow up or running over people with giant vehicles (and awful driving mechanics).

Saints Row The Third did it better anyway, insofar as it being a celebration of ridiculous, over-the-top explosions involving giant vehicles, strange guns and big purple dildos.

GTA was alright for what it was, but GTA V's plot makes me rage more than just about any other story I've seen in video game history (though the unitardogists in Dead Space really boil my piss too because they're just mind-bogglingly stupid). Franklin is bland cardboard, Trevor is just fun because he's insane, but Michael. Holy shit, Michael. That dude eats shit for the entire fucking game from the most worthless human beings in existence (wife cheats on him, deadbeat loser son steals his boat to sell to a drug dealer (and fucks it up, nearly gets it stolen before begging Michael for help, then shits on the man who just rescued him), feds force him to do risky work, his therapist is a cunt, all sorts of dumb shit), and he just lays down and takes it.

The one time he doesn't -- he catches his whore wife fucking her "life coach" in their marital bed, chases the asshole to a nice house on a hillside, assumes it's his, and rips the entire patio down like a fucking boss -- he lets the drug kingpin who really owned the house (oops) get the drop on him in front of his own house, kick his ass and demand he pay a $1+ million repair bill, all in a cutscene you can't control, avoid or change. It should have been trivial for a seasoned criminal (and killer) to kill them all and go back inside for breakfast.

It's a shame he didn't just go full Trevor. I never finished the game because I read spoilers about how it ends (he stays with his whore wife and makes peace with his son, neither of whom actually change anything about themselves, mind you -- he just cucks) and I knew I'd just rage if I finished it.

Grrrr.

I don't know how unpopular it actually is, but Grøh and Azwel in Soul Caliber VI are the most anime-tier characters in that series and I've played (and hated) V.

It was either V or VI where they changed Taki's outfit from her glorious skin-tight nipple-revealing tit-jiggling red unitard and understated half face covering with that garbage "armor" and the most ridiculous and retarded face "mask" ever designed by man. I think they also deleted Taki from one of the games entirely and removed Sophitia's knee-to-the-balls move as well. The series is dead to me now.

Jimmy actually does try to improve himself. At endgame you're more likely to find him cycling or exercising rather than playing Righteous Slaughter. Plus his voicemail indicates that he's job hunting.

They also don't mention what was going on with Michael between the prologue and start of the game. Mainly that he spent all that time being a complete shit head to his family. The reason his wife is cheating on him is because he cheated on her first. He also completely ignored his kids, which why they ended up being huge losers and hate his guts.

V was the one that got rid of a lot of characters due to the 17 year time skip. The idea seemed to be to pass it on to the next generation with Sophitia's kids. Likewise, a lot of old favorites were replaced by anime characters or worse, didn't even have their moveset in the game like Seong Mina or Talim. Even though Talim would be in her mid 30s in V and thus just needs to be MILF-ified. That's why VI is a full on reboot that ignores all those new, terrible characters. What baffles me about VI is how attacks got switched around from previous games. My guess is to simplify certain characters like Ivy, but they also change it around for simple characters like Kilik and Mitsurugi, which I don't understand.
