Topic: Unpopular Gaming Opinions

Did you intentionally avoid linking to all the recent CoD games with absolutely abysmal user scores on Metacritic? Ghosts is sitting at around 2/10 on most platforms.

You're not very good at this, so I'll direct you to this one directly.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subjectivity

Call of Duty 2 (2005) and Call Duty 4 Modern Warfare (2007) are both recent? The most recent Call of Duty listed was released in 2010.

User scores? Are you talking about the user reviews for CoD that are literally spam?

This guy totally played the game. You can tell by the valid points in his post.

You will find a lot more reviews like this from Battlefield fanboys, Halo fans, Nintendo fans, RPG fans, and so on, claiming it's the same game every year, it's no different than Call of Duty 4, it's a glorified map pack, it's killing the industry, and, once again, so on and so forth.

Until you can criticise the game(s) with valid points, I don't see Call of Duty as anything less than a great franchise that is literally coated in quality. If it wasn't, it wouldn't be such a hit.

'he quality of possessing perspectives, experiences, feelings, beliefs, desires,[1] and/or power.'

The world is flat, I'm right because that's what I believe and that's my opinion and my opinion isn't wrong. Science? Facts, proof to the contrary?

Let me be snarky and post a link to why you're wrong.

_{because you are.}

I did not enjoy Luigis Mansion: Dark Moon Super Mario 3D World/Land
HURRAY FOR BEING DIFFERENT!

Popularity doesn't necessarily equal quality. For example, Adam Sandler movies and Rush Limbaugh.

That being said, CoD games themselves aren't terrible or anything, at best they're just generic FPS games. It's more the general lack of creativity and type of people these games represent (Screaming twelve year olds, drunk racist frat boys, etc.) that make me truly hate them.

I disagree, CoD 2 was such a chore to play through, I really did not like it, 1/10.

There's no need to fix what isn't broken. The franchise can't and shouldn't branch from the first person perspective in return for something drastically different. At its core, the franchise is a blockbuster war cinematic with arcade-like gameplay. If those kids and man childs annoy you so much, do what I do and mute them. There, I fixed a huge problem for you.

As for Adam Sandler, his continued success is actually due to his original SNL sketches and his quality performances in the 90s and early 00s. He's famous, just like Call of Duty.

It's a pretty mediocre shooter, with an average story. I ended up watching the 'movie' version of it (All the cut scenes and story stuff without the gameplay) and it was basically a mediocre zombie story. With a terrible ending. Honestly that ending just makes me angry. D:<

cough Time to join the winning side cough :3

Call of Duty Ghosts was released in 2013. You're wrong.

No, he is not. This entire thread is subjective. That's why these are opinions. And believing false facts isn't a opinion. Saying you think something is boring is an opinion, but saying the world is flat is not an opinion. When people say COD is boring, that is an opinion, but saying every COD game is literally the exact same is not an opinion, because it is simply untrue.
Again, you are wrong.

I didn't like Halo 4 very much, actually. I say that as someone who enjoyed 3, ODST, and Reach, so don't you pull that "well, you're not a true fan" argument on me.

Here's another unpopular opinion: You don't have to like every game in a series to be a "true fan" of it.

Regardless, it was very brave of you to admit that. _{I mean, not that I share the opinion or anything...}

Rule for buying games: unless I can confidently, without a doubt, say that its legit, I don't buy stuff online. I prefer stores.

Came up with a few more:
Dragon Quest Monsters is underrated
Hunger Games is overrated
Dystopian future stuff is overrated
The ESRB is full of it
Starwars episode 2 and 3 weren't that bad
Animal Crossing is underrated
Sims isn't that good
The New Super Mario Bros franchise is pretty good
The fact that tournaments still play Melee is unbelievable.

That I listed, guy. Everyone is aware of Ghosts.

No, he is not. This entire thread is subjective. That's why these are opinions. And believing false facts isn't a opinion. Saying you think something is boring is an opinion, but saying the world is flat is not an opinion.

Again, you are wrong.

Going by his and your logic, yes, the world being flat as a map can be an opinion. With enough ignorance, of course.

But what's really going on is that you're not fully understanding the discussion. As usual. If some of you think Call of Duty is boring and samey, that's fine, you're entitled to that opinion. But, if you're wondering why it's so popular and come to the conclusion that it's average and that's the reason, you're simply uneducated.

Let's take that Bombing Bastards game on the front page of this site. Seems neat, right? Well, too bad, judging from the review it's an average game on the Wii U eShop. Going by the logic of others, this game will sell millions by the end of the year. How exciting.

While Halo 4's multiplayer is pretty bad I felt the campgin and story telling in it and Spartan Ops are way above the bungie Halo games,

Going by user scores on Metacritic is probably the worst possible way to judge the quality of a game. Metacritic is somewhat helpful for aggregating industry reviews but the user section is just awful.

kkslider5552000, Oragami, and CaviarMeths never made this claim; the words "and" and "because" are not equivalents in English. If you genuinely believe the aforementioned parties expressed this sentiment, I would request that you reexamine the wording used in case I am mistaken.

Until you can criticise the game(s) with valid points, I don't see Call of Duty as anything less than a great franchise that is literally coated in quality. If it wasn't, it wouldn't be such a hit.

This logic assumes that:
a) the default position for a game is "literally coated in quality" or that personal experience takes precedence in the absence of perceived validity.
a) popularity are quality are inextricably linked; factors such as marketing and awareness are irrelevant when examining how a game or franchise becomes mainstream.

To reiterate, which "others" are you referring to, given that no individuals within the past few pages of this thread have made the claim that Call of Duty's quality or lack thereof was integral to its success? I assume you are intending to hold a discussion with those present in the thread rather than absent parties or conjure up hypothetical scenarios.

I didn't know The Hunger Games was a video game!

Forgot to add that it wasn't about gaming.

Too harsh with some things, and too soft with others (why is Dark Souls 2 T?)
