Unpopular opinion thread.
>Earthbound was a boring game and mediocre experience.
Hardly. All you contrarian memelords think that.
I really liked The Warriors. Sorry guys.
This was a good game overall, i dont give a fuck what /v/ says
I throughly enjoyed The Last of Us
the madden games are pretty fun online and i buy them every year. fuck you /v/
>>315835438
but that's a popular opinion anon
and that's why we hate it
Oblivion was the best Elder Scrolls game.
Not sure how unpopular this is here, but I think the Wii U is the best console this generation.
Destiny is fun
so is Diablo 3
I thought dog's life was a good game
and I thoroughly enjoyed the soundtrack, big field in particular.
fite me cunt
>>315835863
Unpopular on /v/ you thick idiot
Dark Souls>OoT
Resident Evil 5 was fun
Dragon Quest should stick with Sony.
FTL is the best indie game ever made.
being forced to combine characters ruins SMT games.
>>315835863
Not on /v/ friend. It's opposite day everyday here.
I'm excited for Fallout 4
Fallout 4 is the only real GOTY contender and winner. Everything else like Witcher and friends were meh.
Playstation 2 was the last good Sony console.
Emulating is generally better than playing on the original console.
Paper Mario 64 is better than TTYD.
Majora's Mask is better than OoT.
Undertale wasn't good.
PC gaming is generally better than console gaming in every way. Consoles are a scam and only idiots buy them.
Human Revolution was better than Deus Ex 1, and so was Invisible War. Mankind divided will be the best one yet.
Indie games can be awesome and people who criticize them are stupid and superficial.
Other M wasn't that bad of a game, and the internet made up the canon and then everyone artificially chose to believe it.
Bioshock Infinite wasn't that bad of a game either, it was kind of fun.
Skyward Sword is a 10/10 game.
Dark Souls is one of the best games of all time and the community is great.
Games should have more cute anime girls and should be more objectifying to women. I like to see cute girls.
Japan generally makes better games than the rest of the world, and I think most people who disagree need to actually list their favorite games and consider where they are from. They are probably from Japan.
Gameplay is the most important thing. If you want a story, go read a book or watch a movie.
Hotline Miami 2 was as good, if not better than 1.
Corruption in gaming journalism does not matter. The gamergate movement is stupid. People should not need rulers to tell them what games to buy; formulate your own opinions on games, you don't need these incompetent manchild reviewers.
"Fun" is not a good argument for a game, and is not a magical word you can just say to instantly debunk an entire well thought out analysis of why a game you like is bad. You only think it is because you have trouble accepting people not liking what you like.
Half-Life 2, GTA IV, Metroid Prime, Yoshi's Island, Skyrim, and Ocarina of Time - All terrible, overrated games.
Piracy does not hurt gaming, it can arguably help it in many ways.
Quest markers aren't inherently bad at all.
Stealth games are extremely fun and satisfying.
I think Undertale is the most disgusting example of sneaky SJW ideology indoctrination.
But I also think it's one of the best games ever made. And certainly the best "16bit jrpg" ever made.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines is an unpolished mess that /v/ only cares about because of waifu shit. It's written like some faggy Anne Rice novel.
Fallout 1 & 2 are disgustingly boring.
turn-based combat is archaic and intuitive.
pretty much the worst combat system you could choose this day and age
>>315836576
>>315836589
These are only unpopular on /v/. Any regular person with a brain knows this.
>>315833947
I think you're confusing "unpopular opinion" with "lazy troll opinion."
>>315836713
>Fun is not a good argument
>Stealth games are extremely fun
/v/ in a nutshell everybody
This was a fantastic game and better than any previous 3D Sonic before it. If the Werehog were tightened up and the medal system were dropped it could be the best 3D Sonic.
Legend of Zelda is overrated as fuck
Nintendo went to shit after the 90s
JRPGs were never good
Metal Gear is boring, pretentious tripe
Crash and Spyro are the worst cases of nostalgia goggles
The Souls games have incredibly poor controls and gameplay mechanics that no amount of "gitting gud" will fix
The vast majority of AAA games suck thanks to devs copying whatever's "in" right now
San Andreas is the worst of the major GTA games
Consoles are too damned expensive for what little they do. You can't even connect them to the INTERNETS these days without some bullshit monthly fee on-top of the ISP's bill. As such console fags are fucking retards.
>>315836713
>Human Revolution was better than Deus Ex 1, and so was Invisible War. Mankind divided will be the best one yet.
>>315834248
Fuck off, earthbound was completely bland and the only thing that made it stand out was it's story
I legitimately believe that Zelda 2 is the best of them all, because it has the most engaging combat that requires the most skill. The other games all feel so stale and toothless in comparison.
Call of Duty makes a generation of retarded gamers who cries like babies as soon as a game starts to have a plot just a bit interesting or when a game starts to have a bit of difficulty to be beaten.
Assassins creed is just copy/pasting at each new game, ad the retarded gamers created by call of duties don't even understand it and keep buying a game that never changed from an inch.
All resident evils past the original trilogy and code veronica X are just shitting on their own license. They're not even fun to play. (not sure that opinion is unpopular :/ )
for once i can say what i think. me luv da thread.
>>315837364
>bland
>has interesting story, art and music
Hang yourself my man
I think video games are a form of speech, and if you don't like the content of a game, you should just not play it.
not even pirate it, just don't play.
>>315836856
People are going to think this is absurd, but I think there are literally NO good JRPGs with turn based combat. They are all bad, every single one, and thats because the combat is so dreadful, so stale and so lacking in engagement that it makes almost every game a non starter
>>315837125
>The Souls games have incredibly poor controls and gameplay mechanics that no amount of "gitting gud" will fix
You're bad at video games
>>315836008
Not exactly a stunning example for your claim.
I like Bethesda games and have bought all of them day one
>>315836372
Why? It's not like they have an affect on it.
GTA IV has the best missions of the series.
>>315837125
Waifufaggotry is the worst thing to happen to gaming. Even worse than casuals.
>>315836713
(samefag here)
>>315833947
I disagree, Earthbound is a 10/10 game.
>>315835438
I found it extremely overrated and boring. People were calling it the "Citizen Kane" of gaming and it didn't really even do anything new, it was just a boring, generic, "cinematic" piece of shit.
>>315836086
It's a pretty popular opinion but I agree. I see no reason to get a PS4 or Xbox One because most of the games on them are on the PC. The only real incentive to buy a PS4 is Bloodborne, and I'm not paying $460 for one game.
>>315836365
I thoroughly agree with both of these. I played RE5 with a friend and we laughed our fucking asses off at the death scene of Shiva falling into the lava on the final boss fight.
>>315836590
Strongly agree with this.
>>315836754
I didn't like Undertale and I didn't like the whole pacifism theme but I don't think it's some sort of "indoctrination".
>>315836845
Strongly agree.
>>315836856
This is a popular opinion and I strongly disagree. I played FF7 for the first time in 2011 and I loved it. I think turn based combat still stands up.
>>315837013
It wasn't an attempt to make a "good argument", and I only worded it like that to get under the 2,000 character limit idiot.
>>315837136
Strongly disagree, it's the best. After SA they went for "cinematic" bullshit and cut most of the content out of the game in exchange for ragdoll physics, slower driving, cover shooting, and an easier game overall.
>>315837435
I don't think it's the best one but I fucking loved it. It's definitely one of the stronger games in the series.
Drakengard 2 is better than the 1st cause it actually has a story with actual fucking flow and game play that isnt hair terringly fustrating
![Shin_Megami_Tensei_Persona_3_Game_Cover[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/m5JrMDU.jpg "Shin_Megami_Tensei_Persona_3_Game_Cover[1].jpg")
I like the combat in P3 (and FES) better than P3P and P4.
It felt like not having direct control of your teammates added an extra layer of strategy and planning to battles. Changing it in the later games so you could control them individually just seemed lazy and made the fights boring and tedious.
>>315837814
Same here. It's weird how much attention and vitriol it's getting nowadays but I guess that's what happens when things get popular.
>>315837657
That's not good man. I always pirate and try out a great assortment of games. I usually end up hating most of them just as i expected. But sometimes it brings me into a new genre/franchise that i develop a new love for. Like the witcher games. I didn't like them at all when i played them. But after finishing the trilogy i feel like they were actually good and i would look forward to the next game CDproject makes.
Also sometimes i just pirate a game from a torrent site without even knowing what it is. And dedicating myself to finish the game. It's really fun, you should try it sometimes
^this also counts for movies/books/music though. It really broadens up your horizon and make you appreciate more aspects of the media you're involved with.
>>315837912
currently playing the first one and I don't like the combat can I play 2 without beating the first one
FF7 > Chrono Trigger (they're both fantastic though)
FF9 was complete ass, never cared about any of the main characters and the story was only marginally more enjoyable than the clusterfuck of shit that was FF8.
OOT and MM > all other Zelda games.
>>315836590
That's a fact, not opinion.
>>315837752
>>315837887
>soulsfags continuing to make everyone hate them
Nothing to see here folks.
>>315837945
I'm with you on this. I ended up caring more for the characters too because they were people I actually fought alongside as opposed to puppeteering. The party commands gave you just enough control over the game instead of too much. P4 was piss easy because of the control.
The only good RPGs are JRPGs
>>315838152
>FF7 > Chrono Trigger (they're both fantastic though)
But that's pretty much what every normalfag believes. Anyone with taste will disagree with you, though.
>>315838531
What WRPGs have you played? Just curious.
Destiny is a great game
I don't mind if a game has imperfect graphics and microtransactions don't bother me.
I think video games have the potential to be a better story telling medium than books. (It hasn't been done yet though). But games like 999 are a proof of concept that story can be told through gameplay in an unique way that overshadows traditional book/movie storytelling.
I liked the Street Fighter movie. The one with Van Damme.
>>315838605
>But that's pretty much what every normalfag believes.
Most normalfags don't even know CT exists.
>Anyone with taste will disagree with you, though.
Even that they're both fantastic? If you say so.
>>315837354
Agreed, and most consoles aren't even about games anymore. I think consoles were better when they didn't have internet, they didn't have "Netflix", and the only way of making the console successful was to put more and better games on them than the competition, because that's the only function of the console.
>>315837125
>Legend of Zelda is overrated as fuck
Generally agree, but it really boils down to the specific games. One thing I hate to see is "but there is no bad Zelda game!" Most of them are quite different so to declare them all good or all bad is silly.
>Nintendo went to shit after the 90s
Strongly agree
>JRPGs were never good
Disagree
>Crash and Spyro are the worst cases of nostalgia goggles
Not sure about "the worst" but agree
>The Souls games have incredibly poor controls and gameplay mechanics that no amount of "gitting gud" will fix
I disagree, they have good controls and are fun games. Most people are used to games where you just mash the button to win. So to play a game where you have all these different combat abilities and you need to know how to use them all in unison is an art that takes a long time to perfect, and most people aren't willing to do it and would rather just go back to games that reward them and make them feel skilled just for mashing the button.
>The vast majority of AAA games suck thanks to devs copying whatever's "in" right now
Strongly agree
Resident Evil 6 is a masterpiece of gameplay mechanics, the best TPS and a best game in the series.
MGSV is the first MGS to have decent gameplay, also first game to have deep, working and enjoyable stealth gameplay.
Deus Ex series is very boring shitty and extreamly overrated games.
Bioshock is overrated garbage. Infinite is the only one playable, but barely.
New Fallouts and TES games are garbage, all Bethesda ZeniMax games are shit that uses popular names to sell.

I can't wait until Undertale dies off
Vita is better than the 3DS
>>315837453
But why then CoD is difficult if you play it on higher than normal and why BO2 is the only modern AAA game to have choice that really changes the outcome of the the story?
>>315838895
TLoU has good gameplay desu
>>315839087
I can tell just by looking at them that I wouldn't like the gameplay. I'm sure I've tried some of them before, but not long enough to really matter. I don't like the way they look and I don't like the way they play. It's just the way it is.
On the other hand, the Japs have given us some of the best RPGs ever made.
>>315838787
What he means is that it's like someone saying DBZ is better than Cowboy Bebop or Batman and Robin is better than The Dark Knight. Not saying FF7 is DBZ/Batman and Robin tier, far from it as it's something I could easily still enjoy today but it's weird for somebody to prefer it over CT when there's nothing that FF7 does better than CT.
Fallout 4 will be a great game, it doesn't even need mods to be enjoyable and fulfilling.
Skyward Sword was better than TP by a mile

>Paper Mario 64 is better than TTYD.
my negroid brethren
I think bf3 and bf4 are the best shooters I have played.
>>315833947
On Zelda games:
LttP is okay but LBW is far more fun.
OoT is boring, it's the worst 3D Zelda; Master Quest fixes the dungeons but whenever I'm outside of one the pace returns to being an absolute drag. All the other 3D Zelda games are great, including Skyward Sword.
Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks are both good and have some amazing dungeons.
>>315839561
I don't think they're particularly comparable, I enjoy both of them for really different reasons.
>>315839316
That is a fact though.
I like the 3ds but ffs so much weaker than it could have been. Screens are also worse than they should have been.
If only Vita had more shit to play. I have beat all the stuff I wanted and so far only Earth Defense Force is left in a few weeks.

>>315839426
I don't know, I just like FF7's story and characters more and the materia system was really cool. I don't really care what "anyone with taste" says, I like whatever I want however I like it and couldn't care about anyone being upset I don't conform to their specific tastes.
It seems like no one agrees with me, but ALttP pretty much ruined the Zelda series, made it casual as fuck, made it so that there was no mystery in the world at all, too fucking easy, etc. It was "refined" to the point where all the spirit of the original game was sponged away
The only people who think FO4 is gonna be shit are flagrant shitposters and/or those who have never even played it.
TOO MANY GAMES WHERE YOU PLAY AS A VAMPIRE
NOT ENOUGH GAMES WHERE YOU PLAY AS A WEREWOLF

>people think the game is going to be shit based on what we've seen so far
>HURR HOW CAN YOU THINK THINGS ABOUT THE FUTURE IF THE FUTURE HASN'T HAPPEN???
>>315839918
There exist very popular RPGs that have only one ending.
>>315839981
I've heard this one before but only by old timers. (80's arcade dwellers).
The answer is pretty simple. The people that are the main fangroup of zelda identify zelda as the "spirit" and overall mechanics of ALttP. People that liked the original zelda but don't like the sequels typically don't identify as zelda fans because even they see "zelda" as the identity formed by ALttP.
You're not wrong though. The games are severely different. And it's almost impossible to like them both.
>>315839981
I don't really give a fuck about LttP, but I would agree it was a vastly different game than either of its predecessors, and the series' formula definitely followed a lot more closely to that from then on.
There wasn't much of a "Zelda series" back then, though.
>>315836713
>Skyward Sword is a 10/10 game.
9/10.
JRPG is a fucking shitty genre for underage NEETs who only play them because of their crap stories. It's the perfect middle term for autists that suck at video games but at the same time lack the persistence to read a good book
>>315834751
Nobody disliked the Warriors dude. It got positive reviews and I've never read a bad thing about it on /v/
gamefreak can add as many stupid mechanics as they want, pokemon is still the exact same game every year.
>>315837889
>Waifufaggotry is the worst thing to happen to gaming. Even worse than casuals.
"Casual" gaming is not even a bad thing to begin with. What most people don't realize is that they are casuals. Video games are my main hobby and I still consider myself a casual player. I play too many games and I'm not an expert at any of them; rather than mastering one game, I prefer to just be "good" at a large variety of games.
If you're not in the top percentage of players in some multiplayer game, if you don't go to tournaments, if you don't hold any kind of speedrun or top score records, etc. then that means you're a casual player. "Casual" simply means you are playing it for fun and not for competition.
"Waifufaggotry" as you put it, simply would be someone enjoying female characters. Can you explain what's actually wrong with that? I would compare it to going to a restaurant (the point of going to the restaurant is the food obviously) and commenting on the atmosphere of the restaurant. Why not enjoy that element of the experience? Can you explain why that should be taboo?
>>315840368
>No shit, it's not even out yet faggot.
Exactly
>>315840478
Regardless of your self contrived definitions for words, if you play games for more than a dozen hours a week you are not a "casual" gamer. Sorry.
>>315837125
>Nintendo went to shit after the 90s
I would not call that an unpopular opinion, especially not around here.
Then again, I think the opposite: I think that Nintendo's games have only gotten better with time and that more modern design philosophy has vastly improved a lot of series. A lot of the "classic" Nintendo games like Yoshi's Island and Link to the Past feel particularly uninspired on a level design front, although perhaps this is because they ended up being the polished take on their respective genres that future developers aimed to follow.
>>315840642
translation:
>I play games for more than a dozen hours a week
Smash 64 is the most fun game in the series
Twisted Metal 4 was a good game
The camera in Mario 64 wasn't that bad. The only time it was shit was in the cage in the underwater city(wet dry world)
South Park 64 wasn't bad. The first 2 levels are.
I don't play many shooter, but Godeneye really didn't age milk. It takes a few seconds of getting used to though.
New Super Mario Bros Wii didn't have much soul, but it was fine. I was just expecting a little more charm.
w
>>315840642
It's definitely not based on the amount of time you spend playing games. That means nothing. Some people play games all the time yet suck at them and still don't play them competitively.
Apparently, everyone loves this game and A Link Between Worlds.
What the fuck?
>>315837125
>Crash and Spyro are the worst cases of nostalgia goggles
I dunno about that. Crash 1 isn't especially good, and the third games in both series are filled to the brim with content that was both not terribly polished and entirely unnecessary, but Crash 2 and the first two Spyro games are relatively strong titles.
Horror games rely on clunky controls to scare players, meaning the horror game genre is objectively shitty
Mother 3's sad story elements were too strong and makes it feel out of place from the rest of the series.
>>315839981
>>315840408
>>315840423
Moral of the story: whatever you grew up with is the best that series has to offer and everything after that is the cancer killing the series and pandering to dirty casuals.
PC games are slow, depressing shitty games for weird nerds.
>>315840973
I found the story too "mushy" and didn't like the focus on love and family. One of the many reasons I preferred Earthbound was because it had a "cool" vibe to it.
>>315840931
>rely on clunky controls to scare players
More like, you can't use tank controls for shit. Seriously, you can get used to them.
>>315839514
>>315838152
>FF7 > Chrono Trigger
Disagree.
>FF9 was complete ass, never cared about any of the main characters and the story was only marginally more enjoyable than the clusterfuck of shit that was FF8.
Agree.
>OOT and MM > all other Zelda games.
Sort of agree/disagree. They're better than every Zelda game released afterwards (with the ONLY exceptions being the Oracle games and maybe Minish Cap) but every 2D Zelda before them utterly shits on them.
>>315840850
Dark Moon is a better adventure game than its predecessor, even though the atmosphere is kind of complete ass. A lot of the puzzle-solving in Luigi's Mansion is really one-note, and the elemental medals are a cool idea that barely receive any expansion. Dark Moon keeps it simple and uses heavily varied level design to introduce and expand mechanics, and it sorta' just works better. Original game has better bosses, but only barely.
I think most people on /v/ prefer the original LM, though that's just a guess. Dunno what the "general" consensus is when it comes to all people who played both games.lttp sucks lbw is better
>>315841342
>lttp sucks lbw is better
This is how I always remembered it before, but I replayed LttP recently and it was the most fun I've ever had playing the game. LBW was great and is one of my favorite Zelda games though.
>>315840973
The whole game's tone/story is all over the place, but the fanbase thinks it's "deep and thought provoking", so you aren't allowed to shit on it without sperglords defending it.
>>315841417
I managed to chug my way through LttP some small time after finishing LBW. I think there's something to be learned from some of the game's boss design, but the rest of it is just "okay" to me because everything feels extremely similar. I like both games, I just enjoy LBW a lot more 'cause it feels really quick.
>>315841342
The level design may be varied, but the missions are hella repetitive and the actual game being structured in missions gets rid of the fun of exploring.
Ooh, I've got one
>unpopular opinions threads are just excuses for people to talk about how shit their taste is
>>315839981
I think that there are a significant number of people here who either agree with that sentiment or at least generally feel that ALttP was an early low point of the series and that the things it does and the conventions it introduced aren't deserving of the praise that has been heaped on it.
OoT is my favourite game of all time, easily, but most of what I like about it are things that distinguish it from ALttP. The NES games, on the other hand, are games I also consider to be great, and are fantastic at throwing you into in unknown world that's there to challenge you.
ALttP does some really disappointing things, like mark all the relevant locations you need to go to on your map. This is something that, for a significant portion of the series, was an exception rather than a rule, and I'm glad that this isn't a convention that was picked up by other games for quite a while.
Fez is great.
Project M is great.
Wrath of the lamb is better than rebirth.
Starfox adventures was great
Tooie is better than Kazooie
Nuts and bolts is fun as fuck
Sunshine is my favorite 3d Mario, and 2 is my favorite 2d one
>>315841709
I dunno, there wasn't really much exploration in LM since the vast majority of doors were locked and you were always very specifically aware of where to go. You obviously go back through to get boos and that's a bit less linear, but it's more like filler than anything else since you're not really doing anything especially new.
I won't disagree that the ghost fights are really repetitive, the lack of unique ghosts really hurts LM2.
>>315841716
no it's an excuse for me to tell everyone how much better my taste is and how everyone else just has extremely shit taste
Dead Rising (series) is boring, sluggish grinfest. Getting from point A to point B takes forever on account of Frank walking like he has shit his pants all the time, vehicles are pretty much nonexistant and still slow, sidequests are a pain in the ass, boss battles suck due to shitty aiming (in DR1 at least) and sparce weaponry, escorting people sucks. There's no point in photography when barely any "shots" happen.
Maybe it's because I didn't play it at release and I have better choices of sandbox games to play, but I can't get into it. Either that or I need to get good.
>>315841716
I disagree, I've missed these threads. It's nice to both voice and read some opinions you don't normally see on /v/. It's a good basis for discussion and it's interesting to see when people actually agree with your unpopular opinions. Sometimes it ends up exposing what /v/ perceives to be the majority as actually just being a vocal minority.
>>315841637
Ah. Well I've beaten the game before so I had a different experience. Once you have a general idea of where everything is, it can be beaten somewhat quickly, and is a better experience in my opinion than the first playthrough where you're inevitably going to wander around not knowing where to go or what to do for a bit.
FFXIII was an okay game.
The Metroid Prime games are overrated.
Ys Origin is better than Ys: The Oath in Felghana.
>>315840517
So I guess we cant make any negative opinions on a game if it isn't out but positive opinions are ok? Do you realize why no one takes you seriously yet?
>>315840457
Oh ok, well in that case, I really likedJSRF
say what you will
>>315840453
Yup you are right. But originally these games target kids and girls.
Transistor was way, WAY worse than Bastion is, both in terms of gameplay, story, and world building. Villains had no decent motive, the world lore was non-existant, and the combat got EXTREMELY repetitive once you found the perfect combo.
I never understand how people hail the game as better than Bastion.
>>315842010
Either way, I enjoyed the first LM more because it's a short and interesting game that doesn't overstay it's welcome as much as the sequel, which is more than twice as long as the original. They both have their flaws, though.
>>315839426
>there's nothing that FF7 does better than CT
Except for like, basically everything. FF7 has a far more complex and interesting plot and characters, materia is far superior and actually means you do unique shit to gain abilities, which you are then free to combine as you see fit. Time travel/multiple ending don't really mean that much in CT ultimately and the biggest merit it has is the field based encounters (which basically every JRPG should do anyway).
>>315833947
I cannot understand why people like haft life 2 I found it increably boring with no pay off and nothing special about it.
Metal gear solid gameplay is too slow paced and boring aside from boss battles
>>315842403
Origin a shit
>>315842358
Yeah, I can understand that. I'm looking into putting together a similar kind of game myself in the near future, so I'll probably give it a replay and enjoy it more than I did the first time.
All the dark world dungeons having the same theme still drives me batty, though.
>>315842518
Yeah, I'd definitely replay the first Luigi's Mansion sooner than the second. It's a great example of how being extremely short can be a benefit rather than a detriment, although I doubt most people who originally bought the game were happy when they dropped fifty bucks on a 4-6-hour game.
>>315842514
>I never understand how people hail the game as better than Bastion.
Really? Even though I enjoy Transistor's combat way more, myself, I'm pretty sure "people" liked Bastion a lot more than Transistor.
Majoras mask, wind waker and twilight princess are the best Zelda games. Sm4sh is best smash game.
>That game you like sucks. LOL I TROLL U FAGGET.
That's pretty much every post on /v/.

>>315833947
I like Temple of Elemental Evil more than either of the Baldur's Gate games.
>>315842851
I've mostly seen across the board that people like Transistor more than Bastion, but I could be wrong.
People always call Bastion's combat boring, but Transistor's is even more formulaic and boring, IMO, especially endgame
>>315837125
Agree on everything but
>Crash and Spyro are the worst cases of nostalgia goggles
They are solid platformers for their respective consoles compared 90's platformers to newer games from different genres then you probably wouldn't appreciate them anyways.
I enjoyed Sonic 4 and am sad that Ep3 will never exist
>>315843123
i loved sonic 4 as well.
>>315842852
I want to like Smash 4 the most, there's just something about the roster the bugs me and makes it feel incomplete to me, it's not that I'm missing a main, cuz every character I ever mained in Smash is there, and Dark Pit, Dr. Mario, and Lucina don't bother me, so I don't know what it is, there's just... something.
>he thinks people consider Earthbound one of the best rpgs ever
>defending your shit opinion by calling it unpopular
People like Earthbound. Its quirky interesting rpg and that's why people like it. Chrono Trigger is more beloved than Earthbound.
Did you assume this because copies of it are expensive? That's mainly from the fact that it had a limited distribution and didn't sell well. You know, its actually a rare game.
>its overrated
Ah so you saw people liking something so you ran over to add nothing to the conversation whatsoever with one of the most blanket statement opinions ever conceived.
/v/ trash in a single post
George Carlin was an unfunny shit talker who tried to make his ramblings sound smart by sounding angry.
Even if you agree with what he says, it's shit you learn from just looking outside the window.
And now he's probably inspiring people to go into the same field of pseudo philosophical rambling disguised as comedy that's so goddamn popular nowadays.

>>315833947
Wii was the best system last gen despite the lack of variety.
GameFAQs isn't THAT bad.
Let's Plays are harmless. It's the Let's Players that are the problem.
There hasn't been a JRPG worth playing since Skies of Arcadia, and that's even being generous.
3rd Strike is overrated. Alpha 3, Super Turbo, and Ultra IV are all MUCH more fun.
Atari 2600 is better than any system released post-PS2.
4th Gen was overall the best.
Arcade Master Race.
Only thing PC currently has over consoles is doujinsoft.
Sports is objectively the GOAT genre. The only reason people hate it is because EA has given the genre a bad name. If you ignore their shit the genre has historically been pretty awesome.
Block falling/stacking/matching games are the second best genre.
Wizardry and Ultima are the best WRPG series.
Skyrim is actually pretty decent.
Mortal Kombat and Killer Instinct are still shit and always will be.
Super Mario Bros. 3 is the GOAT game, but its fanbase is a bunch of manchildren faggots that are ruining its reputation retroactively.
SNK > Capcom (Street Fighter being the exception).
Traditional shmups > Bullet hell shmups. Cave is pretty much the only commercial bullet hell dev that was ever worth a damn.
Dragon Quest is seriously dull and always has been.
Mother 3 sucks and is the worst in the series.
Classicvania was a billion times better than Metroidvania.
Metroid > Metroid II > Super Metroid > shit > the rest of the series.
Star Tropics is probably the single greatest game CONCEPT in history and would have been better than Zelda if not for poorly executed gameplay (namely poorly designed dungeons, lack of balance, and shit controls).
Star Fox > Star Fox 2 > Star Fox 64 > shit > the rest of the series.
Kirby's Adventure > Kirby Super Star (they're both awesome though).
Zelda 1 and 2 are the best games in the series.
Mario Kart is probably the most consistently fun series in history.
SFV has a chance of being better than USFIV.
>>315837125
Posts like this, in genuine, make me ask, who the fuck are you?
Like what kind of boring retard is browsing a video game board
>>315843326
Divine bait.
I'd rather play a game on handhelds than console or PC.
Zelda II is better than ALttP.
Revelations is the second best RE behind REmake.
Fatal Frame 1 is the best game in the franchise.
Castlevania 64 is a good game.
Dark Souls, while good, is worse than Demons' AND Dark Souls II.
The Evil Within is a fucking great game, and is on par with Alien Isolation for me.
Megaman X6 is better than half of the X series.
Megaman 2 is one of the most overrated games of all time despite it being a trendsetter for the series, but every other game in the classic mainline is actually better save MAYBE 7 & 8.
Mario Party 2 is overrated and the costumes are stupid.
>>315843489
and why not, anon?
pre-ordering is a relic of times when game quantities were limited.They were there so you could guarantee a copy.
What is the point now?
>>315833947
>people complain about microtransactions
>people complain about DLC
>people complain about pre-order content.
Fact is, with today's cost of voice acting, R&D, manufacturing discs, advertising, and graphics video games should actually cost more than $60. This is the reason digital will eventually take over.
MGSV was the 2nd best game in the series and one of the very best ever made, that is until the dumbest, most nonsensical, insulting, and impossible to believe even for Metal Gear, ending happened and completely ruined everything about it.
>>315842624
>FF7 has a far more complex and interesting plot and characters
Debatable. I'm not going to outright say you're wrong but FF7 does have some shit weighing it down (not as bad as its sequels but still inexcusable) i.e despite trying to make the villain into some uber tragic badass he comes off as a whiny pussy with illogical motives.
>materia is far superior and actually means you do unique shit to gain abilities, which you are then free to combine as you see fit.
It turns your whole party into interchangeable blank slates who's only real differences are the limit breaks and the MC cannot be switched out for anyone else.
>Time travel/multiple ending don't really mean that much in CT ultimately and the biggest merit it has is the field based encounters (which basically every JRPG should do anyway).
Except it's a central part of the story and far more interesting than exploring the generic fantasy realm outside of Midgar. Also it's interesting to discover the different endings to the game thanks to time travelling.
Like I said before, FF7 actually holds up a lot better than its sequels and other crap still being carried by nostalgia i.e DBZ, but it has more glaring flaws than CT does and thus cannot be objectively considered better by any means.

Old guy here. Carlin was "shit only white people think is funny", like Seinfeld or that pervert who married his daughter.
That said, he WAS occasionally funny when he wasn't just ranting or doing "irreverent observational humor", which unfortunately was what he did 90% of the time.
Regardless though, he's overrated and is mostly one of those comedians that people say they like because they think they're suppose to. Like Chris Rock would be another example, or most of what Richard Pryor did.
>>315843621
Not that anon but I'll add my 2 cents.
I personally preorder games just so I can pay for it and not have to worry about having money when the game comes out. It's just more convenient I guess.
>>315843569
>SFV has a chance of being better than USFIV
not the way its looking. Capcom is taking out combos and resets left and right to make it as casual friendy as possible. As much as I don't really like focus attacks and FADC, this is going too far to the other extreme.

I'm not trolling I'm just extremely curious.
I like Blizzard games. They can be disappointing but they are rarely terrible. D3 was bad but it improved over time, which I prefer over it being shit forever like the Master Chief Collection. Also WoD which will be the shittiest expansion in history, whether Legion actually turns out to be good or not will determine whether or not I bother returning.

I dont hate it, I thought it was an ok game
/v/s hate for it mostly comes from how casual it was, and how popular it made the series with "normies"
The hate for Skyrim is particularly venomous because the Elder Scrolls used to be a pretty revered series, and there are a lot of fans of the older games.
>>315844462
I think you meant to say "rid", not "ride", dingus.
But I agree. Foot fetish sucks and a lot of the foot fetish fags I've met are just fucking obnoxious weirdos. They are the Smash fanbase of fetishes. Whiny, self-important and demanding of needing to be pleased all the time, and always sticking themselves out there, always feeling the need to bring up their favorite thing, which is feet.
>>315843326
I actually generally agree with this, although I agree with much of his philosophy and I see that as the appeal of listening to him. I don't understand why people laugh at what he's saying, I actually often find what he's saying to be serious and sad, but still interesting to listen to.

It doesn't work as well when you do it like that, especially since boobs aren't strongly considered as objects of paraphilia and hardly anyone with interest in boobs whines how infrequently they are being indulged by them and many people into boobs can also look at other things like ass and vagina, which is contrary to a footfag who just wants to focus exclusively on feet all day, and they have to bring up feet every other bit of conversation. Nice try, though.

Go to any tickling forum where you can see unanonymous people post and see how consistent their posts are with the topics of interest they present.

Oh please, Smash fags (especially the Meleefags) are just as, if not moreso, arrogant about their game and how it's "deeper" than a typical SF game. If you thought "well, it IS", you just proved me right.

I like to present my honest opinion, then I present the opposite opinion in a different post. I am glad there are no IDs on /v/ because there are a few reasons I do this. It's to show both sides of the argument, and sometimes I disagree with elements of someone's post even if they are on my side of the argument; so I will temporarily take the other side, just to help them better understand the opposite side of the argument. If there were IDs, people would be pointing this out as "contradictions" when in actuality I am just ensuring that the discussion goes in a productive direction.

Why though? You're completely anonymous here unless you're a tripfag then chances are you're an annoying faggot who deserves to be shat upon. You shouldn't be afraid to let loose and give your honest opinions on something without worrying about hurting somebody's feelings, that's what separates 4chan from the rest of the internet.

The hell are you talking about? Smashfags are generally bros to other competitive communities that aren't the FGC and love Nintendo games in general.
League of legends is a fun game and MOBA isn't a bad genre
>>315846715
I'm definitely not a Fromdrone, the only game they've made that I really enjoyed was DaS1. I didn't buy a PS3 because I don't like consoles, so I haven't played DeS yet. I might play it on a friend's PS3 sometime. DaS2 wasn't as bad as everyone made it out to be, but it wasn't near the masterpiece DaS1 was. Same with Bloodborne; not paying $460 for one game.
And other than that, I don't even really know much about From. I know they made King's Field but I've never bothered checking it out (probably won't either).
