Topic: Unpopular Gaming Opinions

@TheJGG I think it was popular only because of the circumstances. The game came out in 2018, but didn’t get popular until the Henry Stickman collection in 2020.

@VoidofLight
Maybe you have never seen me playing DDR with blindfold.😛

@Anti-Matter Well mad respect for that, not every day you find someone who can do that.

@TheJGG
When i tried DDR blindfold for the first time, i was panic in the middle of the song and it messed up all my stepping then i Failed. I barely see anything and only depending on the song as the cue and i have to keep focus to listen the music, not get distracted by other sounds. Also, i have to keep my arms holding the bar and my bare feet keep stepping the dance panel correctly as i have to prioritize safety first. Before that, i played DDR Blinfold facing to the monitor but now i can play DDR blindfold in Mirror position (facing backward the monitor)

@Anti-Matter Honestly, that's pretty impressive.

Yeah, its really rare that a game is so obnoxiously impossible to ignore. I already bought the game so I can't say it negatively effected my interest in it, but it is pretty eye rolling. I mostly blame the "everything is Among Us character if you look at it a certain way" meme that everyone has to do all the time. It's like if the Loss meme was far more mainstream, haaaaaate.

@kkslider5552000 That meme just.. feels aggravating. The worst part is when they try to do it to characters who don't look anything like it, like draw a crewmate around Mario's eye or something..

Tetris and Dr. Mario are extremely boring.

@Anti-Matter Blind folded??? Damn Good job.

@VoidofLight I think the fact that you feel that way shows how popular it is, When people get sick of things (Even me) Like Fortnight, It is a popular game But then the fanbase overuse the memes And its annoying, I feel you wile I do like the game I'm kinda getting sick of the memes.

@Snatcher Phil Fish permanently earned a place on my sh*t list when he did this:

Dude is intolerable, and he'll never see another penny from me.

Jonathan Blow (guy who created Braid and The Witness) is... not as bad, but he's also pretty unlikable. I mean, I know creative types can often be difficult personality-wise, and I try to separate the art from the artist as much as possible, but there's only so much pretentious hipster douchebaggery I can take in condensed form.

@Ralizah Like really.

Honestly looking back at Phil Fish is really weird nowadays. I mean, despite Phil Fish being an ***hole, in that video there's actually some really valid points that in hindsight everyone agrees with about overly safe, handholding game design holding games back (though let's be honest, most western shooters from that era had comparable issues, if not moreso). Not that I'd be interested in another Phil Fish game (unless he came back with a tolerable attitude). Only reason I have Fez is because of a free giveaway on Epic's store. I just miss the days when a game dev being an insufferable was even a notable event. Innocent times...

There's a documentary called Indie Game: The Movie featuring both Jonathan Blow and Phil Fish, plus the rather more likeable Ed McMillen and Tommy Refenes, that gives some more insights into their characters.

I've got a certain amount of sympathy for them because they've clearly put a lot of their time, money and emotion into their games and aren't just being insufferable arseholes for the sake of it.

This is probably an unpopular opinion now, since many people support this.. but I honestly hope that Link never talks in any Zelda game. People say that it's time to let the character talk, but it'd be too jarring to me. Keep him a silent protagonist who occasionally grunts.. and just make him more emotive or something. I really really don't want to see Link talking in future games..

I dunno, I can't say I really followed Phil Fish but I've seen people make far more inflammatory remarks than Japanese games (in the context of at the time) suck and still be teflon in the games industry.

Some of my favourite creators from music, books, movies and comics have said some stupid pish (which has more of a direct connection of artist and art than games do) but as long as I'm not hearing in their next single, book or whatever then it would take something pretty massive and legit to boycott it. I still haven't burnt my copies of Buffy, Firefly and Doll House yet even with what a prick Whedon turned out to be as it would take away a lot of the great work others did on those shows.

@jump JK Rowling is the best example for me. An author of one of the best book series' I have ever seen... but a transphobe and a history revisionist. Ew.

@TheJGG I read maybe 2 Harry Potters and didn't like them so I'm happy for her to be cancelled. GET HER!

Just playing devil's advocate...a few times I've seen you complain about a game/show/movie etc based on the fanbase and having a distaste of the game/show/movie etc itself based on those fans. You've mentioned Among Us, Smash Bros and Rick & Morty if I recall correctly. Isn't that the same thing as cancel culture but just without the moral principal supporting it? ;p

@TheJGG Sorry but his cancel culture is really getting stupid now. She said nothing wrong. Can we get over that?

Social networks give so much power to cancel people just because some feel offended.

@Zuljaras Whilst she has made real and fair comments on the debate of sex vs gender she has made too many stupid sound bites like you can't let trans women in the toilet as they will just attack women. Really it's her own fault for making stupid comments over and over again and not making her arguement smarter.
