Topic: Unpopular Gaming Opinions

@Snaplocket way too early to even tell frankly. Now if it looks the same as the teaser trailer in a few months from launch, then that’d be worrying.

Spirit Tracks is amazing and Ocarina of Time is horrible.
Super Mario Bros. is amazing and SMB3 is horrible.
1-2-Switch is amazing and Wii Sports is just okay.
Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival is AMAZING and... I don’t dislike any AC games lol.

@Snaplocket But what's the point in judging something if you don't know much other than a few seconds of an old build? That's like if I were to judge BOTW 2 based on the teaser trailer itself, which shows only a few minutes of a cutscene.

Well, the point of even a teaser is to give a little look .... &, after all, one assumes they're showing the best bit? No interest in Pokemon myself but since the BOTW 2 teaser is being mentioned, I'd say that does look great

@ToadBrigade
Spirit Tracks was my first Zelda game, so I might be being a bit biased, but Ocarina of Time is just okay. I think I just like the puzzles in Spirit Tracks better. In the Inside The Deku Tree part of OoT, I don’t like how whenever you run out of deku seeds you need to go back to the village and do some stupid repetitive things just to buy more.

SMB3 isn’t too bad, I just personally enjoyed the original better. I love the SMB3 soundtrack, I just think that it’s overrated since so many people think it’s the best 2D Mario game ever. One thing I absolutely despise about the original SMB is the castle levels where you just run around and guess where to go and hope you’re right. I don’t understand why anyone thought those were a good idea.

Wii Sports is a good game considering it’s free and I agree 1-2-Switch is really overpriced, but judging them based on the games themselves, 1-2-Switch is amazing to play with friends, Wii Sports is sort of boring if you don’t like sports and there’s only six games.

I just love Amiibo Festival, I was just playing it now. It’s a great game to play with friends and family and I just really enjoy it. I can understand why most don’t like it since it’s a board game and very different from your average AC game.

@BabyYoda71 I would like to know your Mario bros reasoning too.

I’m currently playing through SMB3 myself but I’m inclined to agree with you. For me, the reasoning is I really like the arcade style of trying to complete it in one go without a game over. Mario bros 3 seems too hard/long to try that achievement.

Still, it’s early days.

Edit: just seen your reply 25 secs before my post.

@Oswinner I agree with that. I haven’t finished SMB3 so I’m not really a good judge.

I don't like 2D mario. At all. I just feel bored when playing the older games, and I don't really care for them honestly. I started with the 3D Mario games, and they just feel way more innovative.

@Oswinner @BabyYoda71 As much as I love Super Mario Bros. 3, the one thing I would change about that game is to implement a save feature. The game desperately needed such a thing. You could use the warp whistles as a makeshift save feature though, if you were to play it on the original NES that is.

Yeah, @Snaplocket... Just as the point we can make some sort of judgement on a teaser, with the possibility of revising it when future reveals come

Heh, well I can't really say much about that, @Snaplocket... Never got into Pokemon & I'm not interested in the series now I hope that game ends up being good, of course, since I'd never want anything else for anything

Yeah, you don't need to keep buying them, and most of the time, if I remember correctly, the items aren't even really used in great compacity in the dungeons. I barely ever actually used the seeds.

@Link-Hero @BabyYoda71 No, that’s with nuts and sticks. The seeds are usually found by cutting the grass.

@Link-Hero Yeah, I get seeds and nuts mixed up to. Another thing I forgot to mention is that animated spiders... sort of scare me. So I don’t like that half of the game is being forced to kill spiders.

@Link-Hero No worries. Items having limited use after the dungeon designed around them is a pretty common feature in Zelda (look at the slingshot in Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword).

Ultimate Chicken Horse is a better party game than Smash Bros. Ok here is my point: Ultimate Chicken horse is so easy to pick up and play, like after one round you instantly know what you are doing. But for Smash bros, you have to had played the game before to fully understand what your supposed to do. Also, Ultimate Chicken Horse has cheat codes, so if you are playing it at a friends house and you want to play your favorite stage, or character, you can just tell them the cheat code (that is Y Y X X Y Y R) and they immediately unlock everything, but with Smash Bros, you have to unlock everything manually and there is DLC that makes it harder to just buy, than pick up and play. And Ultimate Chicken Horse is always on sale (As I am typing this it is on a sale for 8.99) While smash bros is always going to be 59.99. I do think Smash Bros is the better game overall, but Ultimate Chicken Horse is a better party game!

Unpopular opinion: Haunted Castle is an awesome game

I've seen a few discussions talking about Haunted Castle and how it's bad, clunky, and just not very fun to play. I personally disagree. I love Haunted Castle and will even go as far to call it one of my favorite Castlevania titles. Why? Well, the graphics are excellent for starters. Great use of colors and the sprites look terrific. Some people say that they look chunky, but I don't know. They kind of work for this game for some reason. Easily looks a million times better than the NES entries. The controls are also great and feel way better than most of the console games. You can also move forward a bit while doing a still jump, not possible in the NES games. And of course, the music is fantastic, like in most Castlevania games. My only problem with the game, is that some parts feel pretty difficult and require memorization. But hey, the NES games had moments where you needed to memorize parts also. There's no reason to slam this game for requiring the player to memorize sections when the other games also had parts like this. It just feels unfair. Just like the hate this game receives from players. While it's no masterpiece, it's a great Castlevania game and deserves more recognition, along with Castlevania: The Adventure (another awesome Castlevania game that gets a lot of unfair hate). Say what you want, but I give Haunted Castle a 8/10.

@adamman12345 Agree. People say it has bad graphics but it came out in 1987 and the sprites look amazing. Also the soundtrack is a killer!

The only bad thing I can think of is the terrible Dracula fight at the end.

Stal is the best piece of music in a video game

@1ofUs Jazzy. Doesn't fit in Minecraft at all in my opinion but jazzy.

@Euler Giving us the Hero's Bow in the second dungeon of Twilight Princess was always going to make the slingshot obsolete. Just get rid of the slingshot and give us the bow right off the bat. Or just make it a standard item like in Breath of the Wild.
