Meanwhile, while I wanted to try up FPS, I always end up with motion sickness (even just playing Danganronpa with no bobbing is so terrible bleh). Plus I suck at the accuracy and speed FPS seems to demand (tried up one Deus Ex game a bit but didn't manage to get anywhere at it because of motion sickness and gameplay just doesn't interest me)
Unpopular opinion, there is no point in running a CONSOLE game above 1080p, and PC games probably don't need to go higher then 1440p, all because of where people sit when playing them. 4k is easily the point of diminishing returns for all applications. If you have a cellphone that can change its screen resolution, turn the screen down to 720p and just use it for a few days. You wont be able to see a difference in nearly anything due to how small the screen is. Heck, you may even see an improved battery life! But that's besides the point.
Sitting on the couch a good 6-10 feet away from a decent TV, you wont see a difference between 1080p and 4k. Stick your eyeballs right up against the screen, sure, but no one is playing games like that. No one can play games like that. And if you can, record it and post it on YouTube instead of arguing with some random guy in their early 30s about it.
PC gaming you sit closer to the screen, so you will see the higher resolution, but the only times I've seen a difference between 4k and 1440p was in a web browser and not a video game. 4k in this regard is great for productivity, but shooting up demons in DOOM or whatever, you're not going to be paying attention to the resolution.
But other then all of that, who cares? You enjoy wasting money and playing games at meh graphics settings in 4k? Go for it. Again, don't let this guy in their early 30s stop you from having fun. Just don't act superior because you spent more money on something that is basically pointless.
@BenRK I’m sorry - your opinion isn’t unpopular enough! I completely agree. The resolution wars are a classic case of technology companies deciding what the consumer should want, simply so they can keep selling us new and more expensive tech year after year. 4K is already ridiculous - the screen looks better than real life outside the window. The advancement of technology should be chasing other goals - lower power requirements, better sound, more environmentally friendly production methods, stuff like that. Anyone who grew up gaming with CRTs knows that 1080p is already beyond our wildest dreams back then! It’s more than good enough.
@BabyYoshi12 I Think DKC Tropical Freeze is underrated. All the stages tell there own story, and the backgrounds are beautiful. I Could imagine how much work went into DKC:TF's Backgrounds alone. And the Engine feels insanely fun. Like if I handed someone a controller to play DK in a blank room, they would probably have fun. And the expertly done levels! They are so good and make OLD Mario Blush (The Good Stuff!) With New Funky Mode!!
Fire Emblem Three Houses is my favorite game
Ashe is the best character in FE:3H
Waluigi For Smash
The game I want most on switch is a new WarioWare (Welp. we got that!)
My favorite movie is Toy Story 3

i think my main unpopular opinion nowadays is that on average, people getting mad at video games is exhausting and embarrassing
its kinda why ive tried not to talk about the current direction of paper mario too much, because at some point its just not fun to complain
doubly so people getting mad at others' opinion of a video game, who cares
like is the world not miserable enough? guess not, screw you for liking a game that looks really mediocre to me, which im sure in 2020 is the worst thing a person has done or said
But what you mentioned may be the reason I don't like fighting games. Never good at them, never cared to "git gud". To fighting games I say "git accessible".
Fighting games are accessible, especially the ones releasing that are of late. But, you need to put in time and effort. You can't think just to pick up the game and just start winning right off the bat. If you want that braindead type gameplay, pick up DBZ FighterZ or Blaze Blue Cross Tag Battle. But everything else? You need to put in the time.
The Harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.
Games like Star Craft come to mind. From everything I can tell, matches between two expert Star Craft players, the winner is the one who can execute the build order the fastest. That... how is that fun? The most fun I've had in Star Craft was going up against people of similar skill as me. I am no expert. I play casually, I'm not going to win contests or whatever. But going up against people who I can throw punches against, sometimes win, sometimes lose, end up doing silly strategies... that's fun. I can't tell you how fun it is strolling out with a 50+ siege tank wall in an 8 player free for all and freaking people out and everyone laughing.
Same goes for [insert popular game here]! The pros at [insert popular game here] like to complain about everything, and when [company that made popular game] makes any changes, they complain even more, saying [popular game] is dead and they hate playing against other pros. I can't stand playing games with people like that. They make [popular game] unfun and cause people to quit. And no, get gud isn't going to happen when I have a full time job and use the game as a means of playing with friends. I'm not going to dedicate time into getting "better" at something when the end result is losing the fun a game is supposed to give you.
@BenRK if you think winning in starcraft means a race for your build order, then you are a casual. Its not a race. Its about perfecting your mechanics, scouting, picking the right build order and adapting your build depending on the situation, managing your economy and getting good at micro
