Topic: Unpopular Gaming Opinions

Trust me, their are alot of people who think the original had more "charm"

...But it's exactly the same game with some new modes?

Exactly, thats why i dont get it.

Your guess is as good as mine, lol.

Zelda II is the Greatest Legend of Zelda Game Ever

I agree, Zelda 2 is by far the best side-scrolling Zelda game!

Better than Links Awakening (Which has some sidescrolling bits ?).

I think they should try another Adventure of Link style one though. (Certainly more than something like A Link Between some more worlds).

Metroidvania style LOZ?

I think Nintendo suck.

Oh wait, I'm in the wrong thread! LOL! XD

Yeah! You are in the wrong thread! This is UNPOPULAR gaming opinions not what people say on Neogaf and Gamefaqs to sound cool XD

Now I can understand why some people like Arin can't appreciate masterpieces because of what they feel about them but this isn't the case. Whenever Nintendo makes great games and when it ages, people complain so much about it I mean for crying out loud, many of the games that Nintendo makes was revolutionary heck its like saying that Super Metroid isn't good anymore because prime is waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy better.......what kind of stupid gamers are there these days.

Clever girl...

I could put up with a little bit but I would much rather have combat focused. (Funny because I love Rondo of Blood which is supposed to be one of the main influenced of the Metroidvania genre however nearly all of them seem to have very little in common with it).

I was going to post a long-winded counter to why Egoraptor's claims in that video are full of Goron droppings, but there a post from NeoGAF linked in the comments that does it much better than I can. Egoraptor's argument is really just some flimsy ranting interspersed with random swipes at Skyward Sword.

Ah, it warms my heart.

I actually like bosses that say the same things over and over again. (You know what they say the more the merrier, you know what they say the more the merrier.) Its pretty funny and I don't understand why most people complain don't like it mute it unless the music is that incredible.

Egorapter totally sold me on ALBW at the end. I need that game now.

Frogger Returns on WiiWare isn't a bad game.

There's points that I agree and disagree about with the video, and I think that the style of delivery (and especially the intro) makes it a little harder to watch it without naturally thinking of counterarguments. That being said:

There's one really fantastic observation made here. The original Legend of Zelda and LttP had an implicit story. It was a story made up of the player's actions - you see that through Arin's gripe with the treasure chests and how they feel. Ocarina of Time's story is explicit. The majority of it is written out prior to the player's interaction with the game, and the explicit story takes precedence over what a player feels when they're running through the dungeon.

What's happened is that new IPs tend to start with a core idea and then layer dressings around it to make the full game. And when making a sequel, the developers assumed that the dressings were what defined the game, and so they kept those constant and inserted a new core. But games are bought and enjoyed by their cores, so when you jump into a sequel and find the core's completely different to what you expected, you get mad.

I honestly think that Critical Hits should be an optional feature in RPGs.
I don't want to lose because I'm having a bad day, I want to lose because I didn't do a good job at training or fighting.
