Topic: Unpopular Gaming Opinions

Ratchet & Clank gameplay felt more fun to play than Splatoon games.

@Anti-Matter Those two are not even comparable.

@Anti-Matter Bruh that’s like saying that Minecraft is more fun to play than Zelda, they’re not even on the same playing field

@Snatcher
They are similar in some way.
They are same shooter games, both in 3rd person view.
The difference are Ratchet & Clank games have proper voiceover while Splatoon was like semi gibberish voices.
Ratchet & Clank games have a lot of weapons variety that more appealing to me than Splatoon with their ink weapons.
Ratchet & Clank games have some interesting storyline while Splatoon.... didn't really have interesting storyline.
I prefer Ratchet & Clank games for being not as popular as Splatoon since I prefer something less popular than the over popular things.
Hidden gems are more appealing to me than the popular mainstream things.
I don't know but my brain and body translate the world in opposite way.

@StarPoint
I have ever watched Splatoon gameplay in Story mode from Youtube (solo gameplay) and it looked pretty similar as Ratchet & Clank style games, a 3rd person view shooter games in 3D platforming world.

@Anti-Matter You just told me there similar in some way wile pointing out all its differences, thanks for proving my point.

One is a platformer, the other is a terf shooter, there not the same.

And btw, ratchet and clank is just as if not a more popular franchise then splatoon, so idk what your talking about. And ratchet and clank is far from a hidden gem.

@Snatcher
Be careful, if you tell him Ratchet & Clank is very popular, he might stop playing it.

@Snatcher I'll never understand hating things because they're simply popular. I do like some popular things, but there are things I like that aren't as popular that I wish were more popular.

Take a less popular game, show, or movie, I like it, but if it was more popular, then there would be more content for it, more entries, more episodes, more stuff to keep said series going.

While I have enjoyed less popular games, I just wish those games were more popular. Take Tokyo Mirage Sessions, I loved it. It wasn't popular on either Switch or Wii U, so that means less of a chance at another entry with said game.

Though, to me, an unpopular opinion simply means an opinion that would be hard to have elsewhere online. Imagine if I said something positive about the Sonic 1 GBA port on YouTube as oppose to this thread, it wouldn't be pretty, lol.

Speaking on Splatoon, it's a weird series for me. I like the gameplay, but I'm not a big fan of the modern slang and music for the games. It's growing on me more, now that I gave Splatoon 2 more of a chance, but I still can't say I'm a massive fan of it.

@DarthNocturnal Yeah, Splatoon 3 makes the Salmonid mode something you can do 24/7.

@VoidofLight I'm kind of the opposite really: I was drawn into Splatoon because of it's aesthetic, lore and music. It just so happened that they managed to create possibly the most unique shooter on top of that.

I vividly remember liking the look of Splatoon but being content to just observe it from an outsider's perspective since I wasn't interested in the gameplay. And then, for whatever reason, another Testfire demo for 2 came out during the middle of 2020 which I saw whilst browsing the eShop one day and thought 'eh, why not' and downloaded it. I proceeded to have what can only be described as an awakening in regards to Splatoon as a series from what I played and the minute that demo ended, I begged my family to let me buy it.

Fast forward to today and I've bought 3 with my own money the day after it came out and have absolutely fallen for every aspect of this series. Mad how one good experience can completely change your outlook on a series, isn't it?

@Fizza Yeah. I've been pretty much enjoying the Octo Expansion. The music is growing on me, and I really find the lore to be interesting, given how well thought out it is.

@VoidofLight If you think the lore is good in OE (which it absolutely is), then HOOOOOOOOOOO BOY you are not ready for the stuff 3 throws at you.

@Fizza I'm probably not. All I've seen of 3 (from promo material) is that there's like mammals in the game and Splatfests are different, but other than that I've been out of the promotional loop, so the game is going to end up being a pretty big surprise when I actually get to it.

@VoidofLight @Fizza Splatoon music always sounds weird to me at first. Then I end up liking it after playing the game, especially the electronic beats stuff in single player - I really like that. That's up my alley.

@WoomyNNYes It feels bonkers to say that this song is one of my favourite video game songs ever made but it honestly is.

@Fizza That's the animal crossing team for ya. Making gibberish sound good in songs.

@Monoahlith He just might,

@Sunsy I don’t really understand it ether, it’s one thing you dislike it because it gets overblown, but hating it purely because a lot of people love it? I don’t get it, play it, do you like it’s. Good, do you hate it, fine, you just got to try something new.

@VoidofLight Amen to that, I'll be belting KK Cruisin till the day I die.

@Sunsy
The reason I don't like / have no interest / hate certain popular things because their existence are a threat for me like when many peoples talking about one popular thing, it makes the minority things / unpopular things get eclipsed and forgotten because less peoples will give some appreciation toward the minority things.

For example, I don't like soccer at all, completely zero interest because that sport is too popular. I personally never like the gameplay and the euphoria of that sport but peoples play that sport almost everywhere while at the same time I like boxing, the unpopular sport that almost nobody even care about, even talking about boxing in public, peoples will frowning at me like why do you like boxing when everybody like soccer. It made peoples belittle my choice for minority things and I don't want somebody belittle my choice so I made a stand to dislike the popular things that become a threat for me.
