I only get annoyed at talking about things I like when:
A. It's too predictable for anyone or me specifically to like a thing (and even then only in certain situations) or
B. I merely like it but everyone else adores it. Though this happens less with games than other mediums for me.

@jump I'm not a hipster - I was wearing this fedora before it was cool.

It's too easy (for me at least) to become influenced by outside opinions or media. I've been trying this year to make some changes: less youtube, less frivolous spending, no podcasts while playing games. Previously, I would buy most new releases and play them on autopilot with something on in the background. It would almost always be unfulfilling. Now I'm just trying to work my way through my deep backlog and focus on the game. If I think it sucks then I move on. It's like I'm retraining my brain to game.

@Snaplocket DRV3 is my favorite game in that series. It used to DR2 (and, to be fair, I think there's still a good argument to be made for it being the best), but putting aside the main story mode in V3, the extensive, fantastic post-game content in V3 is on another level. The board game mode is a massive celebration of the entire franchise and reads like the ultimate Danganronpa fanfic in the way it allows characters from various games to interact, and the JRPG is a surprisingly fun, retro-style experience, and the way the card machine feeds into both is just beautiful.

V3 also has some of the best trials in the series, including what is, unquestionably, the best first trial in the series. Sort of like how Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulation's first trial blew away the first trials of the previous two games in that trilogy.

It's a shame to disregard the whole package because you didn't care for the way it ended (which I'll defend until the day I die, but I get why people wouldn't like it, even if I don't agree that this makes it 'bad' or inferior in some way)

I guess my own unpopular opinion would be that, while I enjoy the entire series, I feel like there is a massive divide in quality between the first game and all of the sequels. The first game isn't... great. It feels like a rough draft of what Danganronpa 2 would go on to fully realize. Most of the trials are disappointing, it has the worst cast in the series, and it never fully nails the unique tone that subsequent entries hit on so well.

@Losermagnet I'll play podcasts in the background of games like Picross or when I'm mindlessly grinding in an RPG. But I can't imagine having something else going in the background while playing a game with good music, character dialogue, etc. My young nephew plays through entire games while listening to people on youtube on his phone, and it drives me nuts. Imagine watching a movie that way!

Good on you for making those changes. I think it'll ultimately lead you to enjoy your games that much more when you're paying full attention to them!

...I've been struggling to not get caught up in the excitement of so many new releases myself. Although an even bigger issue is buying games on sale I know I won't be getting to for years. Ugh.

Again, V3 WOULD be my favorite if not for the ending and one OTHER plot point that happens early on and left an extra bad taste in my mouth due to the aforementioned.

I've only played the first Danganronpa but I thought it was really good (apart from the questionable portrayal of Toko's DPD and Chihiro's gender). The general concept of the game is a bit dark for my liking (I don't like overly violent or depressing stories), but there's plenty of humour which makes it easier for me to cope with, and I love the murder mystery aspect as well as the broader mystery spanning the whole game. Anyway, I've been told the second game is the best, so I'm looking forward to playing that but also a bit nervous...

Zelda BotW was tedious.
I've never managed to find anything likeable about any of the Assassin's Creed games I've tried.
The two Doom reboots get really old, really quickly.

Dude, Haunted Castle sucks balls. I've tried, but it's so clunky and poorly designed. Apparently it was a completely unrelated title until the CV branding was used at the last moment.

On the other hand, the Double Dragon games are pretty easy once you get the hang. I enjoy them personally, and they don't overstay their welcome. Don't get me wrong, Streets of Rage 4 was a great game, but it's not one I'm ever likely to go for a 1CC on due to the length. The DD games can be polished off in 15-20 minutes once you've gotten into them. Renegade is still better than both of them though.

I find D-Pads horrible in general, but I especially cannot play 2D platformers with them.

In my limited gaming experience, the only games that I have found D-Pads useful in have been 2D Zeldas, PAC-Man, and Tetris.

I played the 3DS version of Snake Eater, which granted, is considered to be a flawed port of the game. But the parts I didn't like were usually things that I'm pretty sure were from the original game, so I really don't get the hype.

snake eater is the "worst" of the main mgs games IMO. worst meaning it is still a great game, but falls so short compared to all other main mgs games. considering how kojima is known for some mindblowing mechanics and storytelling, mgs3 is just a very traditional game. it did have some of the coolest boss fights though. the end and the sorrow are amazing.

MGS2 does seem really up my alley for all the weird, meta commentary stuff. I was actually playing MGS1 a while ago before I accidentally shut off the PS3 before I could save after the Psycho Mantis boss, and I would've gotten back to it if my tv didn't die a death.

It sounds stupid, but I really prefer when enemies in these games had vision cones.

Unrealistic? Sure. But it was a great visual indicator for how far an enemy could see, and it made the stealthing more pleasant and less stressful.

If I recall correctly, MGS3 was the first game to rid itself of vision cones. Instead, you had a camouflage rating or something, but that never really told you when you were safe from the eyes of enemies. Bleh.

Also, Raiden is cute, so MGS2 has that going for it as well (not so much when he apparently goes full ninja edgelord in that Platinum spinoff).

Oh my gosh, someone else who shares my sentiments! I felt like she was a really strong character in Super Mario Galaxy. Much better than "Oh poor me, I'm getting abducted by Bowser for the 3,325,267th time" Peach.

@kkslider5552000 Looks like someone appreciated the invisibility potion scene in TTYD a little too much.

@Snatcher I mean... yeah. Rosalina is an epic space queen with a tragic backstory and her own mobile space station. Peach... is good at getting kidnapped and... likes making cake? Honestly, the fact that she hasn't drastically ramped up the security forces around her castle is telling about her judgment.

Are you sure it was the 3,325,267th, @Tyranexx ....? But have you played Mario + Rabbids? She joins the team with guns in that game, lol
