Topic: Unpopular Gaming Opinions

Astral Chains doesn't look good in the slightest. Combat looks dull, graphics look uninspired, and Platinum has a very mixed track record so there's no reason for me to blindly support titles from them.

That being said, I'll still be looking at reviews on launch day to see if I'm wrong or not.

@Heavyarms55 I agree, both in the storytelling aspect (as described), but also in design. I personally hate having to design my own character...I'd rather a professional did it for me! My own design will always look like trash in comparison.

@Buizel Purely in visual terms, I really like customizable characters. Within the limits of a story frame. Again, I feel Mass Effect did it best with Sheppard. It was still Sheppard's story, and Sheppard had a pretty defined character. But you still had a lot of freedom with what you could do. But I do understand your point, and that's why I think it's good to have some preset/pre-designed options as well.

Disney's Toontown Online was the definition of a grind.

Not sure if this counts as an unpopular opinion, but I would like to have a Yoshi's Story 2.

Unpopular Opinion, at least in my circle of friends.

Let people have some sort of accessibility to change the difficulty of the game. (' - ' ) Doesn't need to be crazy, even just little thing like "yeah you keep everything even if you die including your exp", or even the "half damage woohoo".

Like just little thing that can make a game more manageable.

I don't think the Chibi form from Metroid Prime Federation Force was really bad idea. It looked cute somehow.

@darkfenrir adding accessibility is fine and adding difficulty sliders is not a problem. it just that no one is entitled to it. You cant force developers do add it if they dont want to

@diwdiws Indeed, not like I have any power to force them to. Just that I wish nearly everything has that option shrug

Although not sure if this fall under unpopular opinion, but I hate it when devs put in difficulty option... and decide player isn't allowed to get good ending/or even get any ending unless they pick harder difficulty. Ending shouldn't be tied to difficulty at all.

@darkfenrir I second that. In Octopath, I almost died against a duo boss fight in one chapter of the Ophilia. I think they were two guys with black hoods that use magic and a special ability to conceal their weakness.

@SamusLv7 Oof I think I know that one. Every boss in Octopath is quite hard... especially when you are on Chapter 3/4. Or those hidden bosses. I already gave up after doing 2 of Chapter 4 bosses o)--< (and 1 hidden)

@darkfenrir True. I think the duo I fight was the boss of the third chapter of Ophilia. I guess I'll have to level grind when I continue playing again 😅 as I am currently playing Zelda BotW and Mario + Rabbits.

Unpopular opinion: I don't like vague rumors from random, so-called sources and insiders. So-and-so thinks... Industry insiders suspect... So-called news source reports that (Nintendo) will probably do X...

I feel like that kind of vague speculation isn't worth it. But I guess it generates clicks and no one forces me to read it. But I am kinda sick of all the "thinks" "suspects" and "probably"s...

This. It's like people enjoy setting themselves up for disappointment. But yeah, I agree; these leaks are getting ridiculous. If I were in a position where I truly "knew" such things, I'd rather keep the trust of those involved intact versus netting myself fifteen minutes of fame on the internet.

Or maybe I'm just cynical today.

The thing is, I like reading other people's speculation. Around E3 I actually enjoy reading the fake BS rumors because I get to know what kinds of things people want/are expecting.

Here is some of mine:
I don't entirely hate Duke Nukem Forever
TF2 isn't dead and still fun as hell
Undertale is an overrated, overhyped piece of crap

I hate first person shooters, all of them. Just put one in front of me and you will se my eyes turning red in matter of seconds.

You should get that checked, it’s probably not good for your eyes.

Sun and Moon are the worst pokemon games

Dance Dance Revolution is still relevant until today, even a lot of peoples have move on from DDR.
