Topic: Unpopular Gaming Opinions

@NintendoByNature agree with this 👍. Although it may be because Nintendo has had Sakurai chained up in the Smash Bros mines for years.

@Losermagnet that would make sense for sure. Now that smash may be done, let's see what else he can muster up

The difference is that Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon are E ticket franchises. Fire Emblem not so much, yet it has as many representatives. There's also the fact that most (if not all) of its fighters are one-hit wonders rather than recurring characters and that most are anime swordsmen with down-B counters.

@Euler Not in the US, but its pretty popular in Japan, But I agree with you there, as I said if they just had more FE characters with different Move sets, and they were not all FE Reps for the Most recent game, We might have something different.

While I play both physical and digital games, I have to admit there's one advantage I like about digital, being able to buy games that cost a lot when buying physical. If I want to play a game that's rare and costs a lot, I can still at least get the digital version. I do like that aspect of digital games.

I've been warming up to digital ownership myself, whereas before I was strictly hard copies. The Switch influenced that greatly. It's really nice going from game-to-game without swapping cards.

I'm really sick of gamers who constantly complain and try to display why they're the smartest person in the room. You're entitled to your opinion, but my opinion is if you spend a good deal of your time ragging on why you don't like something instead of finding something you do like then you're doing it wrong and seem more interested in psuedo-intellectual flexing.

Final Fantasy VII Remake's combat is lousy. They tried to do a hybrid real time turn-based system that doesnt really do anything particularly well. Either the combat is too easy and I dont have to use anywhere close to all of the combat options (guard, dodge, etc.) or it's a spongey boring slog.

I get all the arguments about the complexity of ownership when it comes to digital/physical and generally physical works out to be cheaper than going digital which has never really made much sense to me. However, buying a game digitally and having it on your device almost instantly is just a convenience that's worth it to me. Never needing to leave the house is the Wall-E end game.

There's nothing I enjoy more than downloading a digital title, hooking up my IV of Mountain Dew and nutrients, ordering a pizza using voice control, then staring at my reflection in the loading screen and thinking how far we've come.

@Pizzamorg We are all different, Wile I don't agree with you I do respect your opinion.

I totally get the benefits and convenience of digital games but I feel like you took away a very different message from Wall-E than I did.

Y’all didn’t think Wall-E was an inspirational message about the boundless frontiers of human ingenuity if it comes to doing things with the least amount of effort possible?

@Pizzamorg
When human become ultra chubby with almost no bones in Wall-E era...

@Pizzamorg as long as a cute little robot saves us I'm ok with living in that timeline

Dare I say it, but it's also advantageous for the collectors of physical products that the market switches to downloads.

There's been a trend over time towards smaller, cheaper and more uniform packaging for games, with the printed manuals you used to get also being a casualty of that. However, I could see things reversing somewhat once it becomes the case that the only people buying boxed games are the collectors, rather than just the ones looking to play them.

For what it's worth, I buy most of my games digitally but still aim to have a set of 20-30 keepers per platform. It's way easier on the shelf space that way.

@Pizzamorg Doesn't argue

NieR Automata isn't really a masterpiece like everyone says. It's a good game, don't get me wrong, and I liked it, but it's not as good as the original game, and the ost lacks in unique boss themes. The final boss doesn't even really get a unique theme, as it just uses the general boss theme that plays through the entirety of the game.

For a game about tragedies, the characters weren't that great either. I couldn't really get myself invested in any of the characters other than 9s, since they all just felt flat in comparison to the characters in Replicant. I guess them being androids fighting machines also didn't help with that either.

ACNH is the Best Animal Crossing i have ever played.

Some of Obscure casual games are better than popular GOTY nominee games.

GOTY label from Games Award just useless for me. A game doesn't need GOTY label to be called interesting to play.

@Anti-Matter I don't think anyone needs a GOTY label to play a game at all, Because if that was the case People would have played like ten games.

No matter how Bad a pokemon game may be, It will always be fun, I always make memories with those games..Even tho I have only played two, but even with all the issue I have with sword, I make a bond with my team, And I do actually remember alot of the characters, (Hop is annoying AF tho),

One thing pokemon games will always be good at I think, is showing you a good time, is giving you an Adventure!
