Topic: Unpopular Gaming Opinions

@Fizza It's not that buggy, it froze once or twice but I put LOADS of time into that one to 100% it plus the DLC. It ran better than most of the other Lego games I played.

I can't comment on if Lego Avengers is better than SH1 or 2 as I skipped Avengers as it looked meh to me in comparison to the other two to be honest.

@jump Well that's a relief, I hope they do what they did on Xbox (I believe it was Xbox?) and put all three on Switch in a collection. 1+2 are already there, put them alongside Avengers in a digital (or hopefully physical) collection and badda bing badda boom.

@jump What is your opinion on 2? I felt like they just threw in a punch of characters to make up for the X men, I also didn't like the world to much, but maybe I didn't give it a chance.

Idk if you can really critic for bugs, as lego games are known for that, I have yet to play one lego game that straight up didn't make me have to start a whole section over.

@Snatcher I missed the X-Men but I liked it's deep cuts roster better with a drum playing Spider Gwen being one of my favourites. Game word wise, the fist one is more fleshed out as feels like a city but there's more interesting parts to the second so I wouldn't say one is better than the other.

I found the controls (especially when flying), customizer and the actions tighter but at the end of the day it's still a Lego game so it's mostly more of the same either way.

Kirby's character design, in this day & age, a bubble with two smaller bubbles for arms, looks like such a lazy, boring design. It looks awful to me. I respect that Kirby's design origin looks like japanese/cute, and it's it's birth was from an era when consoles had more limited power but, I just can't anything with kirby. Forgotten Land's world looks so great, makes me wish it was Mario, or any character that has a more appealing design.

Forgive me, anyone that likes kirby.

@WoomyNNYes I think the simple design works well with his ability of sucking up baddies and taking their power and then having their hat, sword or whatever. If he was a more elaborate design then every time he has a power up it could get too rubbish looking like when people make a rubbish avatar by adding too much to it.

My preference would be a more mutated Cronenberg-esque body horror look when he has sucked people up though, so he’s a pink blob who has a skull, limbs and organs of the baddies dangling from him with blood and other bodily fluids dripping as he walks but hey-ho, Nintendo doesn’t care what I think.

@WoomyNNYes I think that was always the point of the design, Even the first kirby game kind jokes about it with the tutorial on how to draw him. But your opinion I understand.

@jump Sorry I'm replying to your Lego marvel super hero's post so late, I didn't see it till now.

I agree with that, wile no Xman characters was a big punch to the gut, I kinda maybe, feel like the other characters more then make up for it, I just felt like they were trying waay to hard with the roster, Totally beats them trying to go for a more MCU roster so can I really complain?

@Snatcher I wouldn't say make up for, it's just me being more excited for these deep cut characters who I'd think I'd never see beyond the comics (like when the MCU started and folk thought Iron Man or Guardians Of The Galaxy were too obscure to have a movie lol) and then I happen to forget about the X-Men. X-Men has been the most dominant selling comic for the last 30 years so Wolverine, Magneto and others are sorely missed but as a comic fan telling me that a bunch of deep cuts who I'd never think I'd see distracts me from it.

But that's just me, I'm sure folk would prefer the likes of Storm or Beast over Lockjaw and Throg.

@jump No I agree with you! A lot of those characters are not characters I thought I would see anywhere else, Throg was indeed a surprise. So as much as I miss the X-men, If I had the choice, I wouldn't give anyone up in this game for one of them.

I'm not the biggest fan of how a lot of Final Fantasy games look. The SNES sprites feel blocky and awkward compared to the other notable JRPGs from that era, the PS1 games are super dated (in a charming way enough of the time, to be fair), and then when they had the chance to look good on PS2 (and objectively X and XII look great, obviously) the characters designs (and sometimes characters period) started to become really embarrassing and stupid. Just regularly enough issues that I don't often get from comparable games those eras.

The punchline is Final Fantasy XIII looks great. Shame about the rest of the game, but from what I remember, love how most of it looks.

Fortnite is fun

@WoomyNNYes
The devs made Kirby look like that as a placeholder but grew attached to him so left him like that He was probably designed in literally one minute.

I don't know why you all hating on Kirby.
Simplicity is often better and more memorable than a complex design.

People bad-mouthing Kirby? I've been waiting to pull this one out.

Been playing fortnite as of late, I agree, As long as you stay away from the community, then hell ya this game is a blast!

@Fizza OMG its kirby with a Knife!

@Snatcher 'What have you got?'
'A KNIFE!'
'NO!!!'

@Fizza love the pic. Legendary

I'm assuming Kirby has sucked up and took Michael Myers' power up.

@jump ....Maybe.

I don't see any issues with the draw distance in Pokemon Sword/Shield. If anything, it seems to me to be an explicit design choice as to not clutter the screen when exploring the wild area - it would look a bit off if you could see over a dozen or so wild Pokemon on-screen at once.
