Topic: Unpopular Gaming Opinions

@SomeBitTripFan I prefer thief2. Imo no the supernatural aspects ruined what made thief great. And yeah I'm not super fond of dishonored. Cool ideas but play is odd.... And it leans into that supernatural.

Maybe this isn't an unpopular opinion, I haven't really heard much talk about this from other people, but I dislike character creators. Often times I spend way too long trying to make the main character look decent, and just when I think I get something that looks okay I start the game only to find out they look weird when doing certain animations/poses and I feel like starting over. Often times I just end up obsessing over it, which I really shouldn't because usually their face gets covered by a helmet/hat anyway.

I think another reason why I dislike them is because often times it also means the protagonist is a silent self-insert character, which I also usually don't like. Sometimes it can work well, but in a lot of cases it just seems unnecessary and makes cutscenes awkward, especially nowadays with full voice acting.

@Cynas i agree. It's all the rage it seems, but i wonder how much of the real player base are "creatives" who love to create "their" character, and how much developers overthink the YouTube internet types that literally get paid by the minute for creating them and/or the unique identities they create for the game are marketing.

I've mostly started just sticking with stock or premade character, with maybe a "less obnoxious hair tweak". Skyrim put me off starting twice after spending an evening in the creator and getting nothing done.

I love saints row 4. You do the whole creator, get to voice selection and get "male 1", "male 2", "male 3", "Nolan North" (who then refers to his real self during the game).... It's a giant FU to the whole creation system in a way only saints row could get away with

@SomeBitTripFan Not tried it, but it feels like my field of vision is too low if anything, not too high. Perhaps worth a go next time I pick one of these up though.

UPDATE:
I gave this game another go after watching a beginner's guide and now I'm loving it! It's truly a masterpiece!

Here’s a couple:

• The first 2 Paper Mario games are extremely overated. Not bad, just overated.
• Super Mario Sunshine is the worst main Mario game to date.
• I think a Super Mario 3D all stars is a terrible idea, I’d much rather them all be separate and released in different times.
• The Wii U has its quirks, but I thought it was just as good as any other console.
• The Switch’s library is very good for only being out for 3 years
• 3D Donkey Kong isn’t a bad idea, and with a few kinks it could be really great
• I prefer gray joy-cons over colors that stand out.
• The Switch Lite is very useless and isn’t worth the money.
• The Switch’s Eshop sucks, and needs to be more organized and changed
• The motion controls for the Wii were awful and ruined lots of games
• Aside from the virtual boy, Nintendo 64 is the worst main console
• I think they should not make a switch pro, and just continue with the OG switch’s cycle and then advance to the next console.

As you can see, I have a lot lol

@Apportal Agreed about Switch Pro, it would be totally unnecessary in my opinion. I'm not a fan of mid-generation upgrades that are substantial enough that you feel like you're missing out if you don't get them; I'd rather Nintendo just focus on making a full-on successor to the Switch.

Now you're just trolling or are profoundly ignorant on both.

You might as well be saying Nintendo 64 is worse than being violently assaulted at that point.

@kkslider5552000 nobody gives a crap about what I think, and/or too lazy to say something so I don’t think it’s that big a problem. But I changed it anyways, happy now? Also, take a chill pill, it was just a funny saying, saying i’m going to get violently assaulted is pretty dramatic

@Apportal

• With you on Sunshine. I don't think that's a particularly unpopular opinion though. It's usually considered the weakest of the 3D games.
• I don't see how paying $80 for a cartridge with 3 or 4 rehashed games is worse than paying $30 for 4 cartridges, each with a different rehashed game on it. I'm skeptical for that reason, Nintendo knows its fans can be cucked into buying them separately. Personally, I hope the rumour is entirely Fake News.
• Wait... you like the Wii, but think its motion controls were awful and ruined games? I enjoyed the Wii as well but didn't have a problem with motion controls.
• Differently coloured joy-cons are superior because they can be more easily distinguished from one another than monochrome ones. This helps with attaching and detaching them.
• The Switch Lite is intended as a cheaper option for younger or more causal gamers (people that only play Animal Crossing for instance), similar to the Wii Family Edition and the 2DS. Not something most people need, but available to expand the Switch's consumer base.
• The N64 had a lot of classic games (Mario 64, two excellent Zeldas, many great multiplayer games). I think its library holds up quite well.
• Agree on the Switch Pro, it's completely unnecessary. Any graphical improvement is going to be marginal from now on and a new model comes with the risk of splitting the install base. They should just stay the course.

Unpopular opinion.
I don't even care with any Zelda games rumor on Nintendo Switch.
I do care with not really popular games instead.

You're on the unpopular opinion's thread. You should expect some reaction to something you're going to say regardless of who you are. So you shouldn't get so uptight when someone reacts to your opinions.

@MsJubilee I don’t care if people don’t agree, I just found it hilarious how kkslider could react that way to one of my opinions, and even go so far as to say I’d be “violently assaulted” for it. Seriously? But yeah I could’ve reacted better.

@kkslider5552000
I honestly do not like with N64 machine and controller design. The controller design with trident shape and analog in the middle looks very uncomfortable to play.
In my opinion, N64 design was the worst than other Nintendo machine design.
Wii was the Best Nintendo machine design, came with White color as default bundle + White game box.

@Apportal the N64 comment seems like trolling.

I disagree with the Banjo Kazooie comment, whilst they are both in mascot territory the team work between Banjo and Kazooie instantly offers a difference to Donkey Kong. If we are just talking about their games then Banjo easily tops DK64, DK64 went over the top with the collectables and having to do every area 5 times for each character.

@jump I got rid of the n64 comment lol

I’m just saying the premise, areas, level design, and characters were very similar to DK64 and therefore was unoriginal.

@Euler I thought people hated sunshine, but then there were some people who said it was their favorite game ever. And it seemed most people loved it so I figured It as an unpopular opinion.

I just think an All-Stars is a bad idea in general, and I think a package like that would be really messy. I just want a 64 remake and then done.

I never said I liked the Wii. It’s almost as bad as 64 and Virtual Boy. I wasn’t a fan of the games and the motion controls didn’t help. I’d rather play with a controller then whatever the Wii was.

Thanks for your opinions!

That's a fair enough opinion.

Mostly because you didn't say the Virtual Boy is somehow better.

@Apportal N64 is easily my least favorite of the major Nintendo consoles as well. Hate the controller, the third party support was particularly bad, and while it hosted some legendary games, most of them have been bettered by subsequent entries in their respective series.

Yeah, I have fond memories of N64, and while I enjoyed games like Super Smash Bros, Cruis'n World, & Mario 64 back in the day, today I wouldn't choose to play them over more modern games (while I'd have no problem going back to play some of SNES's best titles, so it's not purely an age thing).

The one exception would be the first Paper Mario, which I'd love to play again.
