Topic: Unpopular Gaming Opinions

I feel like a quarter of this thread has been spent discussing Sonic.

Someone got to do it.

Nah, I'd rather Sonic just die. Never cared for the character, and he's dying anyway.

Okay here's mine
The Last of Us so called amazing story is so cliche to beginning to end it kills me!I hate the story but love the gameplay!

Gaming Mascot's are at their best when they're simplest and almost childish in design. The Jak series among others died off when Ratchet survived due to this. To go along with this, I think Sonic would be far more successful if they went back to the older sonic. He was far more expressive and leads to more imagantive worlds and platforming.

Jak died off because the trilogy ended the story and then the series got a racing game and a very mediocre sequel from another developer. In the mean time ND developed Uncharted that was so succesful that Sony wanted more of that instead of Jak. That killed it off.

That's not unpopular.There's a strong hatedom and fandom for the game.It's kind of like a big mix of thoughts on the game.

The Legend of Korra game was..okay.It's story was meh,it had a very small amount of references or characters from the show,and the main campaign was horribly short for a $15 game(at least in my opinion).Plus Pro-Bending mode is quite boring to play.But the gameplay was still kind of fun.

The Last of Us, it's not the story but how it's told.

It's still crap to me,no matter how you spin it.

Cliche doesn't have to mean bad. Just sayin'.

No, but it means that it will inevitably feel familiar to many – deja vu's will ensue. If something is lauded as groundbreaking, I expect it to have some fresh views.

Everything's gonna feel familiar at some point. It's all about how it's excecuted.

More to the point, 'new' doesn't always mean 'good' and 'familiar' doesn't always mean bad. A game can be absolutely fantastic despite having no new ideas or content. Many extremely formulaic games are also extremely popular, because they're exactly what their audience wants.

Popular doesn't mean good either though. Usually something goes mainstream for a bit then gets rubbish and then stops being mainstream any more (And gets good again) but that sadly doesn't seem to be happening with gaming.

The New 3DS is entirely pointless. Nintendo would be better off waiting a year or two to release a true successor to the 3DS.

They'll probably do that anyways. They always do this, where they release a new (usually 3rd) version only for that line to be completely replaced only a year or two later.

The new 3DS is a good thing

Nintendo should wait as long as humanly possible to release new systems, solely based on how terrible the launches for 3DS and Wii U were.

Here it goes...

I enjoyed Brawl's Great Maze. Actually I generally enjoy the concept of replaying slightly altered levels towards the end of any game. It gives you this feeling of knowing how far you've come, and it gives me the ability to replay some of a game's best moments while still following a still unfolding story (as opposed to replaying when you know the story)
