Topic: Unpopular Gaming Opinions

I don't like Super Smash Bros. 4. Every hour I continue to play it makes me hate it more. Despite all the cool and awesome things they did with it, so much stuff was added or subtracted to bog it down. Clone characters replaced with new clone characters. Items nerfed to hell in order to be replaced with more broken items (and way too much Kid Icarus stuff). Worse brawling, difficulty grabbing items entirely, coms that are too easy (1-8) or too frustrating (9) due to their running away and frame-perfect dodging. Smash Tour is bad, something akin to the Subspace Emissary is greatly missed, and the challenges are way too solo-oriented when I have the game specifically to play with friends. Overall, when I play the game, the first word that comes to my mind is "frustrating", followed by "disappointing". I was hoping the game would continue from Brawl, but instead it's taking more cues from the vastly inferior Melee. Splitting the team between two games (3DS and Wii U) clearly didn't help anything but sales. I think I'll just play Brawl from now on. It's the superior version.

@iKhan I can see where you're coming from. Lance's us definitely up there, but the impact is lessened to me because Red reuses it, and I think it's much better for him. Blue's champion theme is my favourite, though nostalgia plays into that a lot.

I'm not sure how unpopular this is, but I hate PMD4's graphics. The 3D models look very generic and unexpressive, and there's too much jagginess. It should have been a sprite-based game like the previous entries.

What...I ...I don't even know how to respond...

Game preferences aside, I find it interesting that they tried to achieve a mix between Melee and Brawl yet still didn't please a lot of the players of each game. I guess maybe they should have a clearer goal for the next game.

or maybe being a fan for only one game in a series that has mostly played similarly is a bit silly. It would be like me hating every NES style Megaman game except 3 just because 3 is my favorite.

I also don't like ALBW's graphics. I actually like the artstyle, but there's just too much obvious model recycling for me.

Link's Awakening is better than Minish Cap, but the Oracle Games outshines them both. They're easily among the best LoZ games, possibly a close second behind OoT

I can definitely relate with that. The Oracle games had many differentiating ideas from other Zelda games, and while some of these ideas can be hit or miss, those ideas really make them stand out from the rest of the series. There are a lot of really charming things about those games, and the music makes such lyrical use of the Game Boy's sound. Oracle of Ages has my favorite magical tunes in them with the harp of ages; songs you learn in OoT or Spirit Tracks by comparison are so simple-sounding.

There are a few Zelda games I'd put ahead of the Oracles, but I can definitely see where you're coming from.

The Vanillite and Trubbish lines (especially the former) are some of my favourites from Gen V

I found Super Mario 3D Land to be better than Super Mario 3D World for a number of reasons.

I don't find Vanillite to be poorly designed or uncreative. I just find it a bit disturbing. The idea of what is essentially food (in edible form) being a pokemon is kind of offputting for me. I would also never want a sandwich pokemon, or a taco pokemon.

Trubbish isn't bad, Garbodor is where the line really goes to trash. They tried to do another Muk, but they missed the point. Muk is supposed to represent the trope of a scary monster arising from our own pollution, hence why it has that intimidating face. Garbodor just has this derpy face of "hurr durr I eat garbage".

I'm scared of online gaming. :<

I don't know how this unpopular. Twin Snakes is really the only time I've been able to fully enjoy an MGS game. Though that might be the exact reason why, it was too enjoyable for fans.

I like the stick-rotating minigames in the Mario Party. Yes, it gave you blisters, but when you actually won a game doing it, it was such an amazing feeling. You feel like you earned it.

Charizard is my favorite pokemon ever, and that will always be the case.

I hate Zelda in Skyward Sword. I think she's basically the epitome of telling and not showing.

So the Zelda cycle is real

I tend to believe the critics were corrupted somehow. (Assassins Creed Unity being the latest example).

Don't see what is so difficult about saying this game is so broken now there is no way you should get it until it is patched. 0/10 for now.

You're not alone with this one. A good AC game is my only hope of caring enough to buy a Wii U. Zelda is always hit or miss

Now the remake of Sunshine you might be alone in. If they're making the game we might as well play levels we haven't seen

Yoshi's Island is the worst Mario Platformer.
The ckeckpoints of Yoshi's Island were too far away and having it not save all the coins/stars you got after your latest checkpoint was frustrated. But that frustration is very fitting with Yoshi's weak flutter jump, the imperfect egg shooting mechanic and Baby Mario's cries of sadness that could make anyone want to turn off their system just to make it stop.
What makes it more frustrating is that they fixed nearly NONE of these issues in the later games. I look at Wooly World and the game does look easier, but they should've taken note from Epic Yarn and not let you die in the game. Instead, let it drop some of your collectables. That way, not only does it mean you have to go through to re-collect your collectables after you fall every time, but alsoI feel like a true 100% clear would mean there's no possibility that you died over and over with no penalties involved other than losing a life (which was really easy to get in Yoshi's Island).

I hope Zelda U will be one of the only open world Zelda games in the next 10 years. I like the story element of Zelda and being Open World will leave the story to be less of a full detailed adventure.

Megaman is even worse.

> I'd prefer a Mario Sunshine remake as opposed to a sequel

I do too. Though a sequel would be nice.

> Both Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time is overrated (but OOT more so)

Ocarina 3D is a whole lot better than Ocarina 64

> I am more excited for the yet-to-be-announced Animal Crossing U than Zelda U

I'm not. AC U will most likely be a rehash with some improvements

A rehashed AC would be more enjoyable than another Twilight Princess ^.^
