Topic: Unpopular Gaming Opinions

@JadeKitsune Yeah same, he just exists for me, that's all.
He didn't deserve to be added to Smash, I'll just say it.

I also don't care for "Among Us".

@JadeKitsune I've tried Among Us, it's decent in my opinion, but it's probably better with people you know and it was a lot better during quarantine I think...

@Colonel_Mustache I tried it a few times during that game trial from a couple years ago. Kept getting killed, apparently no matter which role I take, either as a human or alien, I always get voted out first.

@JadeKitsune Yeah playing online with random people it's difficult to know what kind of experience you'll have...

Yes. Ditto for Daisy, ultimately just a pointless filler character.

@Euler Actually I kinda like Daisy. 🥰

Me too.

I mention "Among Us" because I posted that drawing I made to celebrate Metroid Fusion being added on the Switch's GBA library, but because I didn't develop my drawing skills in the decades after middle school (no thanks to my parents and teachers forbidding me from doodling in class whenever I get bored, and that my art teacher wanted me to draw more realistically than fantastically), Samus's helmet looks too much like one of the AU characters, and when someone said that she's "sus" and "among us", I just... lost it. Boiled over.

Not only do I like the art style of Return to Monkey Island, I think it's the best looking game in the series since Monkey Island 2. Yes, TWO. I know, shocker.

I can't stand the floatiness of how Samus controls in the older Metroid games up to Fusion. I'm aware there's a ton of people who do like it but especially after playing Fusion for the first time last week, having each jump feel like it takes an eternity to complete compared to the snappiness of Fusion's movement has only exacerbated the issue and my stance on it in my mind. It's the main reason why I can't wait to get into Fusion (and am also praying for Zero Mission to come over to NSO at some point as well)....and why I'm so apprehensive towards touching the previous 3.

Super Mario Land (1989) is better than Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins (1992) because it has just smaller enough sprites that you can actually see the entire screen and is so much shorter to finish that it doesn't become time consuming.

@Fizza
Super Metroid (1994) has the worst controls of the first three because changing direction when moving (turning around) takes a couple of frames, unlike the first two where you could change direction when moving (turn around) instantly, making them super finicky.
Someone was probably having too much fun in the graphics department...

I don’t think fire emblem is overepresented in smash for no reason. Fire emblem shot into the sky with Awakening’s release. Melee and brawl only had 2 FE characters cause the series was so small. Now you see plenty of FE reps cause the series is huge now. It also explains the THREE AWAKENING REPS. We need a lance or axe focused fire emblem character in smash, cause the sword thing is a running joke that even Sakurai was in on.

As for the Zelda reps? Three links? Yeah sorry fellas, Legend Of Zelda isn’t that prominent in smash unfortunately. Some franchises are quite underwhelming in terms of support in smash bros (Sonic, Mega Man, Metal Gear, that sorta thing.) went of topic but I don’t care

@TheBigBlue I think people say that just because of similar they are moveset wise, however! I’m happy we got byleth even tho a lot of people were mad about that!

This is correct. It's really easy for me to go back to Mario Land 1, I've never had much interest in replaying Mario Land 2 (though to be fair, I've also not played Mario World in 20 years either, for some reason).

Are you even supposed to like that game?

I thought the whole point of it was to promote distrust and paranoia among friends.

@Matt_Barber therefore, I can trust there judgment, sorry, they could be imps.

Not sure if unpopular in the general gaming community, but...

PC gaming isn't nearly as accessible as many PC gamers make it out to be. Sure, it has improved leaps and bounds over the years, and the bridge between PCs and consoles is getting ever smaller, but as a PC gamer I still encounter nonsense like poorly optimised ports, driver/compatibility issues, controller issues, display issues, etc., much more than I'd like.

Sure, PC gaming has many positives (it's my second platform of choice - particularly because of the wide library going back multiple generations, and the ability to play using many different hardware configurations), but many of the downsides are still there and I don't blame anyone for wanting to avoid PC entirely.

@Buizel That PC games are more trouble than their worth doesn't seem that uncommon an opinion among those who predominantly play on consoles.

Still, I think your criticism is mostly on point. I gave up getting the big AAA releases on day one ages ago just because so many of them are broken prior to the first patch. Consoles are always going to give you a better experience in that respect due to the simplicity offered for only having to test a single hardware configuration.

Mario sports games aren’t ‘unfinished’.

They just have too much Waluigi and Wario moments and you guys are jealous
