Topic: Unpopular Gaming Opinions

@PlusUltra Nope

I actually really like RE5. I only played 2 of the campaigns in 6 before i moved onto something else. 4 is probably still the best, RE1 is hard to get back into for me these days. The revelations games aren't far behind 4 for me. I still need to play 2, 3, 7 and CV. I did play CV a long time ago but I don't believe I even came close to finishing it.

@Zuljaras Don't believe in your irritation Simon. Believe in the me that believes in you. Yours is the sympathy that will pierce the heavens. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann! 🔥💀😎

I think dancing games are one of the few types of games I like even less than your standard AAA Western blockbuster game, lol. @Anti-Matter Props on your dedication to them, though. Playing DDR well when blindfolded is insanely impressive.

@PlusUltra You made me google some anime Still, thank you for the encouraging meme words!

@NintendoByNature You will Love 7. I myself find Resident Evil 4 on the hard side. It was a fun game but the QTE were crap and some things were trial and error like shooting the stupid trucks coming right at you.

@Zuljaras unfortunately I don't have a ps4 anymore. I'm a switch only gamer. I know it's available in the cloud version in JP right? I really dislike the cloud versions. Control and hitman weren't playable for me, so oh well. Maybe Re7 will eventually come.

@NintendoByNature Yeah Cloud gaming is terrible. I doubt that Capcom will port those games but one can hope!

Also the remake of RE1 was superb! I get you might not enjoy the original but the remake is great!

@Zuljaras funnily enough the remake was my first RE experience on the cube aside from playing the original ps1 version for a little back in the day. I loved the remake when I first played it. But for some reason, today, I don't enjoy the limited amount of saves, and little ammunition. I love gunning down my zombies without a care in the world!

Edit: the remake was at that time, one of the best games I've played. Top 5 at that time.

I feel that Jim Ryan's actions as head of Playstation will eventually bring in a sizable dislike for AAA western blockbusters as people realize what kind of experiences are being cut in favour of nonstop AAA western blockbusters at $70 each. We've already seen the AAA blockbuster model for Ubisoft mostly break down with games like Ghost Recon Breakpoint and Watch Dogs Legion flopping (AC being the only one still successful).

@NintendoByNature " I love gunning down my zombies without a care in the world!" that doesn't sound like a survival Resident evil

But yeah they could have made a mode that does NOT require Ink Ribbons like they did with Resident Evil 2 Remake and Resident Evil 7.

@Zuljaras I'm outspoken against cancel culture but as @Ralizah points out and as I was gonna say before I closed this tab by accident, she started her downfall by making a very sweeping statement about women. While there's nothing wrong socially and legally with telling reader 20 years after your book comes out that some random wizard was actually gay all along (and that we were dumb for not noticing), her comments are very strange and borderline sexist.

I'm not going to cancel her though, she is an incredible writer who's talent was a part of my childhood. The worlds she took us to were so vivid, so detailed and so lovable, and I will never forget what she's done for literature.

@Zuljaras. Reached, my goal was. In the voltron force, trust, I shall. Infinite, the power of the spiral🌀, is.

🔥🌌🐴 I suck at puzzles nor do I like them but can any potential anime fans figure this last one out. Hint: ICP

@Zuljaras that's why I love the later games, since it's more gunning down than running 😉

One of the issues I take with "japanese games being too instructive" critique (outside of gross generalization) is that it ignores the idea that somebody might benefit from those instructions. Nintendo, for instance, has tried to make their games accesible to a fault. Those of us on this forum don't need the tutorials, but we're not representative of the entire audience.

I like Resi 5 as a co-op game. Back when it first came out, it was that or Gears of War. I don't know if I ever played it solo.

Unpopular opinion (maybe): the whole "core vs casual" thing is absolute bunk. As if we all started as core gamers, and we always know what's good. I think the opinion of somebody who doesn't frequently play games has just as much merit as someone who does.

@NintendoByNature Resident Evil 3 for PS1 gave you an assault rifle at the start of easy mode, and I'm not ashamed to admit how fun that was.

@TheJGG I am glad we both love HP. Those are probably my favorite books + Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Still I haven't read Lord of the Rings. So after that things might change

@NintendoByNature I like both action and survival horror. But the survival type is more enticing to me Going from one to the other feels refreshing

The one RE game that I probably would never go back is Resident Evil 5 It plays like 4 but the charm and the setting are gone

@Losermagnet yea for sure. I guess this is my unpopular gaming opinion. I like my RE's more violent and I want to be the destructor!
@zuljaras yea I get it. Everyone likes their own stuff. The reason why I'd have no problem going back to 5 is that it's short and plays like 4. I'll probably replay 4 or revelations though before 5.

@TheJGG I think she felt like revealing that Dumbledore was gay was going to create shock waves in the industry or something, lol. Nobody cares, of course, since the character's sexuality is never addressed in the books, so it's not really a facet of his characterization.

Anyway, Rowling is yet another example of why people ought to moderate their presence on twitter. Turns out that dumping every stray thought that ever entered your head into a social network where they're preserved forever and can be used against you in the future is probably a bad idea.

@Ralizah
Thanks. 😀
I still have to keep practice playing DDR without seeing the arrows for 4 chosen DDR songs to maintain my memory of the whole stepcharts as during pandemic i couldn't go to local arcade to play DDR Arcade religiously every Sunday.

@NintendoByNature I like both styles. Just depends on my mood. I really like the slow burn survival horror of the classics. But tossing a grenade into a mob of not-zombies that's been chasing me is rreeeeeeallly satisfying too.
