Topic: Unpopular Gaming Opinions

"Stuff happens" is not a valid excuse for major security flaws. If a bank turns off its security cameras and leaves the vault door open, yes, I would blame the bank for a robbery.

And it's pretty impossible to say it was or wasn't Anon. It's not an organized or centralized group. It's like saying that a back alley mugging was or wasn't Mexico.

I guess this opinion belongs here, "I was impressed with the Nintendo E3 2015 Direct."

It certainly does! I'm glad you're happy though.

Me, I'm over my initial kneejerk reaction. I still think it was poorly arranged and bloated, but not doomocalypse bad. Treehouse has been doing a much better job of going over what's important.

Star Fox and the puppets were just magic lol

Star Fox will be one of the best games of the year, barring any problems that haven't been shown yet.

I hate that Rosalina is in every game. It's getting really annoying that she's in everything Mario related.

No Man's Sky will last less than 10 hours in peoples mind and nobody would care again, I get the game takes massive in scope to another level but I feel it is the kind of game that gets boring after 20 hours or so when the magic of exploration is over and the gameplay looks pretty boring also

But in this case, the bank didn't leave tho vault open and turn off the security cameras.

Steam sales are the most accursed evil creation of this world when you have a somewhat decent computer.....
too many good games not nearly enough time to play them...

I don't see how E3 for Nintendo matters anymore. When you think about it, E3 was like gone a couple of years ago and was somehow brought back. Honestly, I'm positive that in 1-2 months time, people will expect a Nintendo direct which should reveal more Wii U games and so. I don't see any negativity towards Federation Force with the only thing that I wish was that it also has single player content and not something like Sub Wars.

Sure the Digital Event wasn't like last year but that's only because Sony and Microsoft weren't focusing a lot on the game department. Also didn't Microsoft do stupid stuff like with their first reveal of Xbox One?

No, the security firm they hired did. So what you're saying is: It's not the banks fault for hiring an incopetant security guard and allowing his incompetance to lead to such a horrible, disasterous point.

I think its popularity will die off, since its a niche game. But it'll find that niche and be popular among that niche, making it a cult classic. I personally think it looks like the greatest game ever created, but then again, the only thing keeping me from playing the old Elite games from now until the end of time are the dated graphics and difficult controls. And I wouldn't be surprised if that niche grows to be rather large thanks to its high exposure - It's not that different from Minecraft in terms of main appeal, and that's one of the most popular games around.

It could also be that the hacker was just really good at what he/she did.

I don't get all the

over First and Third-Person shooters.

Sony should have better security than what a basement hacker should be able to crack.

Unless they're like, a super secret goverment-trained best-in-the-world type hacker like in the movies or something.

^ Not an unpopular opinion.
I do agree, though. I wonder what was stopping them from giving the 3DS more power. (and fix that damn shoulder button problem. jeez)

These events have been well documented. They left data unencrypted, had multiple exploits throughout their system that had to be fixed...it was a mess. And while there's blame to go all around, most of it rested on Sony. This isn't the first time something like that happened to a big company. There was a huge breach in 2007 for a company called TJX. That was around the point Sony put out the PS3. There was a lot they could've learned from that they didn't, both internal and external, and in 2014 Sony Pictures Entertainment was hacked in a similar manner: http://fortune.com/2014/12/24/why-sony-didnt-learn-from-its-2...

The biggest mistake you could ever make is to not learn from the ones you've already made.

I played Assassin's Creed 1, and now I'm playing Brotherhood, and I've come to a realization. They messed up the combat in Brotherhood, and the first one had better combat. It was more nuanced, skill-based, and rhythmic. Not being able to counter all attacks is a mistake. AC1 solved that issue by just not making all counters a kill. Combo kills being replaced by execution streaks is a joke. The streaks aren't that skill based, and it's overpowered. You mash square while pointing to the next enemy, and try to counter if you need to. It doesn't work well a lot of the time, and when it does, it's not satisfying, it's just feels too easy. Heck, I do it sometimes by accident. I think it was put in so the game would be more offensive. People just weren't good enough at the game. Combo kills made the combat offensive if you were good at them, you could do the same basic thing as a streak, but it felt satisfying, and like you earned it. Next problem, medicine. Regenerative health was better. I'm not sure what idiot decided to make it impossible to die by letting you carry 15 medicines at once. It's take the challenge out of the combat. In AC1 there were challenging fights, that you really had to fight hard to survive. And beyond that, the subtlies, which I can't describe, the nuances, felt more present, or at least easier to pick up on. If I sound mad, it's because they made just about everything, but combat better, which makes me mad at the lost potential and ridiculous mistake in the game.

While I don't see Metroid Prime Hunters ever losing its throne as my favorite Metroid game and favorite game of all time, I do really like what I have seen out of Federation Force besides the art style which has not quite grown on me. Being able to play the game alone and with my siblings (finally Metroid multiplayer is back!) I feel this early that Federation Force could easily become my second favorite Metroid Prime game.

Amiibos need to go.

They are becoming the most anti-consumer thing I have ever seen Nintendo do. They were fine initially, working as an actual beneficial feature in Smash Bros, and serving for minor costumes and the like in other games. They were good small extras for people who bought the Amiibos for collecting or for Smash. Then they started to cut off significant parts of games, and locking them behind Amiibo like in Codename: Steam. Then they started to make new Amiibo, and created games with parts sanctioned off to be only Amiibo unlocked.

This is all made worse by terrible availability.

I don't think you have to add Link or a Link costume to every single game nowadays.

Did I already make my "people who care about Amiibo one way or the other are dumb" statement?

Just wondering.
