Topic: Unpopular Gaming Opinions

It has to be said that Netflix have long had a habit of cancelling the good shows and keeping some goddawful ones running though. You could probably make better programming decisions by throwing darts at a wall blindfold.

trust me they've cancelled a lot more than that.

Like I remember having a solid list of animated series to potentially watch right at the start of the pandemic, and nearly every single one of them are gone now. Some of them didn't even air!

also HBO Max put all their promotion on Velma, that should be literally all you need to know about the idea that they were doing this to focus on "quality"

@Sunsy yeah lightyear was weak, the animation was so cool but I gotta be honest they kinda messed up with the marketing, hey made it feel like another movie that it wasn’t.

Spiderverse is real fun! It’s ok if you’re not into Spider-Man and stuff, but if you ever feel like watching something super hero related, spiderverse is a good pick. The reason I say spiderverse probably changed animation if anything, is because there lower frame rate and comic book like style was an influence for 3d animators, look at the new tmnt movie, it’s unique and different, but compare the two and they are inspired.

I love that I live in a world where I can say I love the sonic movie and the Mario movie! And they’re actually good movies!

@RR529 Box office wise? I agree with minions, they made a lot post pandemic, I wonder if it the meme or people actually going to see the movie.

@Eagly right! I always forget lol.

@Snatcher Alrighty. Yeah me too, it feels good to finally have some good video game based movies that does justice to the material. That's why I feel the Mario movie and Sonic movies done more for game based movies.

@Eagly Didn't know that surprisingly or I might have missed it. It did start with the Mario movie, which is gaming related being about Mario and video game based movies.

Twilight Princess is a game that exists to me. I just hate it and kinda don't really understand why people liked it. I respect other people's opinions but don't even really understand theirs. I played up until the start of the water temple because it had completely lost my interest. It felt like the game was trying to be cinematic and I can't tell if it's aged poorly or not but many of those segments were just an annoying distraction, like that boar on the bridge. So much unnecessary backtracking and even thought the 2 dungeons I did, Goron Mines and the Forest Temple were very confusing and I had to keep looking up guides. That's what I felt like I was doing the whole game. Looking up guides and backtracking. Please tell me why you like this game cause I do not get it.

@kkslider5552000 The more and more I see people talk about Velma the more I'm convinced it's the greatest artistic meta statement in animation since you had teenagers laughing blankly at teenagers laughing blankly in Beavis & Butthead. It’s an offensive irreverent cartoon people are actually offended by at a time when even South Park can no longer offended people.

Entertainment is at the peak of being disposable unless it’s a franchise or viral so they made it both whilst understanding the smark audience (like Rick & Morty fans who keep talking about how they know meta and are smart because they watch Rick & Morty) to create something that lives in their heads rent free and tricked into hate watching it to becoming a hit show.

I’m curious if it’s self aware like Beavis & Butthead or just schlocky like Room, I’m not gonna watch it though as it looks terrible, but kudos to them for good trolling either way.

I genuinely think you're giving them more credit than they deserve. It's probably just a badly written show with a baby's understanding of meta humor.

I don't like the whole "weaker hardware holds back gaming" argument. It's like me saying, "that PC game has a low setting, so it's holding back gaming" just because it can be adjusted for weaker or older hardware.

Just because lower end hardware like the Switch or the Xbox Series S exists, does not mean it's holding back gaming. If anything, there's a reason why PC games have different graphical settings, to adjust for different hardware, or for those who wish to adjust for better graphics, better performance, or a balance of both. My guess is developers optimize their games for consoles to run on them, which may include turning down certain graphics to get them running.

At least that's what I think, call it an unpopular opinion since I've seen others say Xbox Series S hold back gaming (FWIW, I never used an Xbox Series S, and my friend has a Series X when I visit).

It's really stupid just on the basis that the vast majority of games don't bother to push graphics anyway, and much of the ones that do are fairly unremarkable in the grand scheme of things.

Yeah I really look at the most creative indie titles and think "its not a semi-realistic action adventure game or shooter with slightly more impressive detail this time!11!!!!1111"

Nintendo Switch will be way much better without the shooting games from Activision.

Also, the current arguments about AAA games on PlayStation and XBOX was really a joke for me. 😆
I mean, who need AAA games when the smaller games or unpopular games are oftenly have something better gaming experience than AAA games ? 😏

The only one that really stands to mind for me on that front is Ryse: Son of Rome. There have always been games that've given a gimmick or over-advertised their graphics, but that's one that counts as tech demo first, game second. Crysis is a graphics benchmark, but as a game in addition to that it works nicely; so that counts as going the extra mile.

I would prefer a new Pilotwings game over F-Zero, StarFox, Mother, etc.

Here's a heavy one: I'd like to see a revised version of Action 52 in NSO as a morbid curiosity. My copy busted a capacitor 20 years ago.

Sony and Microsoft are too busy with their shooter games and just only want to capitalize one statement : play our badass shooter games or else.

I mean, I just want to play something nice, something cute, something colorful, not the gritty evil shooting games.
Why the hell peoples have to play those evil games to be immersed in popularity and social life ?
They are not even games at all, I called them evil brainwash rubbish.
Keep your brain healthy by playing something appropriate.

When I created a thread about prefering 3rd party games than 1st party games, I still found some peoples here not really open minded with 3rd party games.
I mean, favoring 1st party Nintendo games too much is not good either in my opinion.
From my gaming experience, 3rd party games gave me some new gaming perspective or gaming idea rather than keep stuck on Mario stuffs all the time.
Yes, he is a popular Nintendo mascot but for me the 3rd party games characters with their different looking impressed me more than the same Nintendo stuffs that became overrated in my opinion.
And this is the reason my games collection are dominated by unpopular / niche games since I like to try something new as long fit with my criteria. I picked the unpopular games since they have je ne sais quoi quality that made me interested.

@imadeanaccount
Twilight Princess is one of my favourite Zelda games, and you quit right where I think the game starts getting good. Beyond that point, the game becomes less railroaded, and has some of the best dungeons in the series. Forest Temple and Gordon Mines are definitely two of the weaker dungeons in the game, but I thought that because I thought that they were too simple and easy- the Lakebed Temple actually marks a significant step up in complexity.

Let's try to keep the 'unpopular opinions' in here general & not directed at anyone, please. This is just meant for fun hot takes 😇

@Diogmites Aw no worries, not directed at anyone in particular just a friendly reminder is all! Have a great day

@DreamlandGem I’m sorry if it came out that way, i was just trying to say that if they feel that way because someone said that to them, they don’t sound to nice, I shall rephrase it so it doesn’t sound like this, again I apologize.

Edit: I just saw his comment got deleted, I shall do that to mine as well if that’s alright
