Topic: Unpopular Gaming Opinions

@Ralizah You only have 3 lives to beat a pretty hard level.... I beat Level 1 once, but I lost Level 2 and had to restart Level 1! It’s impossible.

@BabyYoshi12 story mode is more or less a gameplay tutorial disguised as a platformer. With it's vertical platforming it does play very differently from the main game though.... It's not particularly hard but i can understand not being suited to the genre. Splatoon is a game that you get out of it what you put into it. The more you play the better you get. If you're finding the campaign difficult, that would explain why you don't enjoy the game that much though... You're still struggling with the fundamentals of the mechanics. But it's possible to be decent with the real game and never figure out the vertical platforming campaign though.

If you're not great at the stock campaign though, definitely avoid the expansion. That's basically "Super Mario Bros: Lost Levels for Splatoon"

@NEStalgia Yeah, I’m not planning for the expansion pass?

@BabyYoshi12 good plan! But anyway Splatoon is brilliant..... If you can build skill and play well. Obviously no g game seems fun if you're not good at it! It plays fast fast fast though..... That isn't going to be for everyone.

The Gamecube controller is the most overrated controller ever. The D-pad is too small and hard to use, the C-stick is an inferior second joystick, a lack of a second pair of shoulder buttons save for the AWFUL Z button which was actually painful to use, and I hated the face button layout.

However, to be fair, they got 2 things right: octagonal directional guides for the sticks, and extremely comfortable shoulder buttons. It doesn't make up for the rest, though.

@BabyYoshi12 level 1 is more of a tutorial. Like nestalgia said it teaches you the fundamentals. Splatoons a great game but then again I could be wrong as 12 switch is one of your favourite games 😉

@LetsaGO @NEStalgia Oh boy, I don’t want Level 2 then. I enjoy the game a lot. I just think it’s not quite as good as everyone says it is.

@BabyYoshi12 as long as you enjoy it, that's what counts. And yeah, the single player is kind of an unrelated cool platformer that's not like the regular game. I have known others that suck at the campaign but can enjoy the online (i won't say they're good at the online, but can play and have fun)

With any game where you have to practice to get better though, it's hard to say if the game is good or overrated etc until you've started approaching the upper skill bracket. Since an online doesn't have a beginning and end, "getting better"it's more or less progression, so you haven't explored the finer details of weapon use and such yet that makes it so good. Not to say they're aren't flaws, some serious, with the game, but, the overall design really is so tight. Laggy rollers that teleport however.... That's another matter

I don't say Splatoon's great, since I never played it, @BabyYoshi12 ... Have you played other shooter games? That's probably your problem with it

I never like the stereotype of being a male gamer.
Just because i am a male it doesn't mean i have to get into the inappropriate shooting games or soccerphilia or non kiddie games.
I would like to be called a female gamer or kiddie gamer as i have natural interest that very opposite as being a male.
I like fashion, girlie things, kiddie stuffs, quirky things but still have interest with masculine things (six pack, boyish looking, sporty outfits)
I felt like i was born in male body but with interest like female.

So, if i can find a male gamer that really hyped by cutesy things and girly stuffs, i will give salute to them.
Dare to crossdressing like drag queen? Double thumbs up from me.

I don’t play shooters, or any other super-inappropriate games, @BruceCM. I’m a male gamer but like kiddie games and cute games. I don’t necessarily play girly games but I understand @Anti-Matter.

My favourite colour has always been pink, which is normally ‘a girl colour’, but why does it matter? Why does your gender change what your favourite colour, or video game, is?

Cool, just thought that might be why you were having difficulty with it, @BabyYoshi12 .... I've played some single=player games with shooting but that is somewhat different from most of them & I don't like the multiplayer ones

@Anti-Matter I salute you sir. For the most part, I don't care for guns or glorified killing in my games. I'm a 32 year old dude who will happily play animal crossing all day. I worked at gamestop about 10 to 12 years ago during the xbox 360/ps3/wii generation. It was tough being a Nintendo guy in that environment.

@BruceCM I’m pretty good at the multiplayer (imagine this in the least bragging way possible) just not at the Story Mode. My point is, the game is fun, I just wouldn’t say it’s the best game on the Switch, or even in the Top 5.

I ranked it #7 on my website, but it probably wouldn’t be in my Top 10 if I had more than 24 games. 😉

Mario Party 10: Everybody says ‘oh, this game is bad and nobody remembers it’. Well, imo, it’s the best Mario Party ever. I own 3 or 4 others on 3DS and they all suck in comparison to 10. I love playing as bowser against my family, admittedly.

lol low bar

I can see why you would think mario party 10 is the best entry when you’ve only ever played the 3ds entries

@1UP_MARIO @kkslider5552000 Still, the 3DS ones are worse. We all agree on that. So why aren’t they ‘horrible, forgotten games’ but 9 and 10 are?

@BabyYoshi12 9, 10, island tour star rush. They were all bad but that’s only my opinion

@Link-Hero I can’t tell if this is angled at Anti and me or not, but if it is, a game won’t be fun if you don’t like it. I don’t like shooters, so I won’t enjoy a shooter game so it won’t be my favourite game ever.
