Topic: Unpopular Gaming Opinions

@LilMuku

"Since X and Y every Pokémon game has been worse than the last"

Is this an unpopular opinion? I hear that opinion a lot in the Pokemon fandom.

@Ralizah SwSh are the biggest games since GS
Its definitely not a popular enough opinion

I think you could argue that either way depending upon your taste in games, but I thought that what the Wii U lacked in third-party ports was more than made up for a by a particularly strong first-party lineup and its where Nintendo's got the ball rolling with indie games, even if the Switch has taken that to a whole new level.

Also, you can get your Cube games running on the Wii U with a little bit of soft-modding as the hardware is capable of running them natively. Nintendo presumably just locked them out because they didn't want to have to support the disc format. It's totally worth it though if you want the ability to play them handheld or via 1080p HDMI output.

1. Animal Crossing gets boring really quickly.
2. The Pokemon games are for kids and don't need to be made more difficult for adults.
3. Mario Odyssey > BOTW

@boredlizard
I still get addicted by ACNH until today for more than 405 hours gameplay.
I know what should i do on ACNH so that's why i still get addicted.

@boredlizard 💯 agree. BOTW was pretty boring in my opinion. I can’t stand Pokémon either, and I could never get into Animal Crossing.

Yeah even my kids dropped off Animal Crossing pretty quickly. I thought it was something they'd be playing all year but they were bored with it after a couple months despite their pre-release excitement.

I feel like Animal Crossing was made to play between other games on short bursts when you don't want to do anything difficult.

I do not think it can be a main game like other games.

I still prefer Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer and Amiibo Festival over than older Animal Crossing on Gamecube until Wii. They have better body proportion on every single animals and human. Also, older AC were hardly to impress me due to very primitive and archaic gameplay style than ACNL and ACNH.

I hope you're trolling.

@Zuljaras That's largely true, at least for the older games. Do you remember the Nintendo Direct prior to the release of ACNL when Iwata highly recommended people purchase it digitally, even if they like physical games because it is a game you will want to check on your island every day? Those were definitely meant to play in between other games, like a little getaway (though it was also possible to get invested in it and lose track of time.) The new one though - the building sim genre by nature requires mammoth time investment just to get anywhere, magnitudes beyond even JRPGs, so I think this one was intended to be a main game, at least for anyone that gets really invested in building sim games.

• Animal Crossing is a boring time-waster, and people care way to much about it. It’s honestly hilarious hearing people argue over the tiniest things, like which shrub is better or something haha. I mean no offense to people who like it, it’s just my opinion.
• The best Mario sports game is Mario Power Tennis for the Wii.
• I don’t like Rhythm based video games. They are so astoundingly boring it’s crazy that people can fan-boy over them so much.
• The best Mario Party was 6 and 7.
• The GameCube was the best console in terms of games. (Mario Party 4-7, Metroid Prime, Wind Waker, Double Dash, Smash Bros Melee, Pikmin 1 and 2, Paper Mario, etc.)

@Apportal ok I’m gonna go through these.

There’s no problem with Animal Crossing. What video game wouldn’t be considered a boring time waster? It’s not like certain video games are more worthy of your time than others.

Duh Mario power tennis is great only one that comes close is golf world tour.

I’m just gonna skip this one. Don’t wanna start an argument😂

I only have 10 and it’s not good so I’ll take your word for it.

GameCube and GBA era was the best I love those games.

fair point. I just feel Animal Crossing is more "work" then gaming, and from what I've played there's no real point to doing anything.

(and I kinda wanted to make Anti mad )

@Apportal Very nice to say no offense to the Animal Crossing players but show no mercy for rhythm game players! I assume you aren’t very good at rhythm games. I suck at RPGs. I can’t get invested into them and I think they’re boring. BUT I understand why people like them. The people who like RPG’s are good at them and enjoy the genre. I don’t like RPG’s because I never play past the beginning of the game which is usually the most boring part of the game. You most likely played songs on the easiest difficulty and stopped afterwards. That's essentially the equivalent to you playing the tutorial and intro section of a game and then judging your overall basis on a game based on that alone. Notice the people who like rhythm games are the ones who are good at them and the ones who enjoy their gameplay elements. I’m sure I’d love RPGs if I actually gave them a chance as you would a rhythm game. We “fan-boy” over rhythm games because they’re good games. Just because you find it boring doesn’t mean you should act surprised towards the people that believe otherwise. I find math boring but I understand why people find it enjoyable. I’m sure you felt inclined to comment this due to the Partner Showcase recently. I can respect your opinion but in turn you should respect our opinion and not think it’s CRAZY that we like them. I mean no offense to you, it’s just my opinion.

Remember folks, this is the Unpopular Gaming Opinions thread...Not the 'Everyone Must Adhere To Groupthink Thread'.

For example: Hannah Montana on 360? Fun game.

Hol’ up.

@JoeyTS actually, I’ve played a fair share of rhythm games in my life. Just dance, Crypt of the NecroDancer, Deemo, just to name a few. And I could never get into them. I personally enjoy games like platformers, puzzlers, and RPG’s more then rhythm based ones. 🤷‍♂️ Just my opinion.

In some aspects, I felt like I was getting no where, and I’d be better playing something where I felt more rewarded for my efforts. And seeing people say they’re great games is just pretty unusual to me.

I see you like rhythm games however, so oopsies if I offended you.

I enjoyed Ni No Kuni II more than Ni No Kuni. The original had a bit more of a heartwarming story, but I really couldn't stand the combat. I think the sequel's combat system is much better, and since that's the bulk of the gameplay, it puts it above the original for me.

I sense a contradiction.

I enjoyed the second Prince of Persia game Warrior Within and actually thought it fit the series well. People hated on it for being dark and overly moody, but it makes sense considering the story. The Prince has been constantly chased down by the Dahaka...that would wear on anyone.

I hope the rumored remake/remasters are for the trilogy as they're some of my favorite games and I'd love to play them again.

@Apportal calm down. He plays plenty of other games
