Stick to One because we all can rant. Your most unpopular:


Mine: I can't stand all FROM Software Games. I find them slow slog fest. I hate the art design and the games are just boring IMO.

 

[Dacvak]

Smash Bros Melee is probably the most complex game ever made.

 

[Hookshot]

Final Fantasy was never good.

 

[hussar16]

Souls games have ruined rpg action games. No story uninspired souless dodge roll games

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Gaming in the 90s was objectively better than before or after, and there's many reasons for it.

 

[Azelover]

I hate Final Fantasy XII. Some people really like it.
Actually I pretty much dislike every FF that came after X. But XII was the last one I played to completion. It was such a waste of time. I don't even care that much about the money, cause I payed full price on it. But it ate over a hundred hours of my life. That's what really stings. The game sucks, from beginning to end.

2 of the 5 best video games of all time were created by one director: not miyamoto, or meier, or wright, or sakaguchi, or kojima, or mikami, or suzuki, or carmack, or garriott. they were created by fumito ueda: ico & shadow of the colossus...

 

[GMAK2442]

Prodeus is best.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is the best game in the series.

 

[intbal]

16:10 is a superior aspect ratio.

 

[Generic]

Fortnite is one of the best games ever made.

 

[chokotoureiki]

PS3 wasn't a failure. It actually came out strong in the end with some incredible games plus helped Blu-Ray win the format wars.

 

[GoldenEye98]

Nintendo hasn't really evolved past the 90's and it's primary business model is now continually exploiting millennial nostalgia for that era.

 

[Dick Jones]

Mario will survive being middling and proclaimed as great based on prior reputation. Mario Odyssey is middling and was proclaimed to be great (97% metacritic), but the game is such a step back from Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 which are utter masterpieces.

 

[Radical_3d]

I hate your favourite franchise.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Digital Game Rental services are the worse thing for the health of the gaming industry.

 

[analog_future]

Going by most of the conversations here, my unpopular opinion is that gaming is in a pretty great state and there's more good-to-great games to play than ever.


I'm having a blast with my hobby and I don't have a ton of major complaints about the state of things right now.

 

[Crew511A]

The industry is overdue for an early 80's style crash to reset the board.

I was about to write something similar, I agree with you

 

[TintoConCasera]

Final Fantasy VI is kinda shit and V is so much better.

 

[BennyBlanco]

SoulCalibur 2 is the best fighting game of all time

 

[Windom Earle]

I think The Witcher 3 is extremely overrated and boring.

The industry is overdue for an early 80's style crash to reset the board.

That is a pretty popular opinion.

 

[flying_sq]

Gaming is an addiction that is destroying generations of young people and should be regulated like gambling

 

[HRK69]

Wanting remakes of games is stupid

 

[nnytk]

Musou games are super fun but we need more of them (collabs like Final Fantasy Warriors, Fist of the North Star 3, Pokemon Warriors, Dragonball Warriors,...)

Never played through Colossus, but Ico is absolutely one of the very best games ever made.

Mario will survive being middling and proclaimed as great based on prior reputation. Mario Odyssey is middling and was proclaimed to be great (97% metacritic), but the game is such a step back from Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 which are utter masterpieces.

I can see how you would find Odyssey underwhelming compared to both Galaxy games. However, in the years between those 2 games, was there a better 3D platformer than Odyssey? Excluding Super Mario 3D World.

 

[Marchizmo]

I think everyone should just stomp complaining for the sake of complaining regarding any game.

 

[Hookshot]

Musou games are super fun but we need more of them (collabs like Final Fantasy Warriors, Fist of the North Star 3, Pokemon Warriors, Dragonball Warriors,...)

That's one of the things I'm looking forward to about the Switch 2. A wacky Warriors of a franchise I didn't expect.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Wanting remakes of 15+ year old games is stupid

What about 5ish year old games?

 

[Hugare]

Mario will survive being middling and proclaimed as great based on prior reputation. Mario Odyssey is middling and was proclaimed to be great (97% metacritic), but the game is such a step back from Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 which are utter masterpieces.

Mario Odyssey is the second most overrated game of all time: way too many moons, to loose in terms of design, easy af.

Galaxy 1 and 2 were masterpieces. Each level has its own theme and was masterfuly designed. Soundtrack is godlike

Now, the most overrated game of all time: Breath of the Wild. It's an 8, but sitting on a 97 MC score (just ridiculous)

The physics system is indeed very awesome, but everything else is barebones.

• Map is huge, but devoided of cities or meaningful point of interest.
• Exploration rewards you with korok seeds or ... nothing at all
• Story is barelly there, and told in a very anemic way
• Dungeons are the worst in the whole franchise (and so are their bosses)
• Traversal is slow and boring af.
• Breakable weapons is irritating
• Ubisoft towers everywhere, but since its Nintendo doing it, its now revolutionary

Then the sequel comes out, fixing some of the points stated above, proving the first game was overrated af and very flawed, not deserving of being 3 points away from a 100 perfect MC score

[FubukiJ]

Fortnite is one of the best games ever made.

I'll go with this as well. Though they've definitely been making it worse these past 1-2 years.

 

[nikos]

GaaS is a good model.

 

[fart town usa]

WiiU is better than Dreamcast.

 

[Guilty_AI]

As far as other people's reactions went:

Sekiro is among the worst modern From Software games. Still good, but nowhere as much as people like saying it is.

 

[AngelMuffin]

Great game is bad.
Bad game is is actually great.

Great take, I agree.

I have many.

Most common is 30fps >>>> 60fps. Always

 

[Damigos]

The best gaming universe is the warcraft universe

 

[AngelMuffin]

Souls games have ruined rpg action games. No story uninspired souless dodge roll games

It’s definitely ruined “other” 3rd person action games for me. Everything else just seems boring and uninspired in comparison.

 

[kevboard]

I assume my most controversial opinion is that Spider-Man 2 is a terribly designed game with nearly no redeeming qualities.
made a whole video about how awful every single mission is designed

 

[Stuart360]

Ubisoft actually make good games.

 

[Mortisfacio]

I think Naughty Dog has been carried by games as an entertainment medium. They're really good at crafting stories, developing characters and presentation. Besides The Last of Us 2, their actual gameplay has ranged from average to bad.

 

[Marchizmo]

After some hard consideration it would be that Breath Of The Wild is not a great game? (Zelda Game)

 

[HRK69]

What about 5ish year old games?

 

[bundylove]

Nintendo fans have the lowest standard in gaming.

 

[ReyBrujo]

Passwords are better than saves.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Maybe I can think of a better answer later but I like Streets of Rage 3 netter than 2. I like using Zan more than Skate or Max, I think the range of moves is better, the bosses and the music are all better in 3 in my opinion.

 

[March Climber]

You will experience much more fun and happiness with this hobby if you simply go search for games you're interested in and play what you want, rather than worry day by day looking for gaming news, controversial figures, or social media posts that will just upset you anyway.

Also, there are good phone/mobile games but you have to go and find them or use curated services like Apple Arcade.

 

[Generic]

Wanting remakes of games is stupid

Remakes are good when the original game aged poorly. But overall, too much remakes is a bad thing (see: Capcom)

 

[Dafegamer]

GTA IV/V are just okay games with wonky Controls, middling shooting mechanics and driving physics. The Critical acclaim is caried by it's Open World possibilities and Pre-Release Hype. Actually playing them is way less fun than the reviews let you think
