What are some unpopular video game opinions you have, /v/?
i got bored of pokemon pretty quickly
>>332260963
FPS are more fun with controllers
I'd rather play video games on a PS4 than a PC because PC isn't the target demographic.
FFTA > FFT
politics/social issues and humor shouldn't fucking mix.
FFVIII is the best final fantasy. People who claim the draw system is bad are just being pedantic or were brain damaged as a child.
Japanese games are better than western games.
I liked Super Paper Mario.

FF is quite possibly the worst JRPG series out there. The gameplay is godawful and the stories are ok.

I think QTE's are fine and when properly implemented and have their place in video games.
Morrowind > Skyrim > Oblivion
Sm4sh is way better than melee
>>332260963
Dark Souls 2 is afungame and I feel it doesn't deserve the hate.
>>332261543
The most popular order you could probably have put them in tea bea ache.
>>332261470
I agree with this.
Also I like Casual mode in the newer Fire Emblems. Also I like the newer Fire Emblems.
>>332261617
Recently I've seen a wicked upsurge in Oblivion nostalgia. Don't get me wrong, I like all the games, but Oblivion is easily the weakest of the 3D games in my opinion.
link to the past isn't that great
>>332261613
Isn't Dark Souls 2 only hated as the worst Souls game, but its still fantastic?
>>332261432
That's not too unpopular.
Say you like Sticker Star to set people off.
Bloodborne is the best souls game by a mile and Demons Souls is equal to Dark Souls
Dying Light is the best AAA game that has come out in the last 5 years
MGR was more fun than DMC3 or 4
I like Quake 2 more than the other ones
>>332261796
You haven't been on /v/ for very long, I take it.
>>332261751
Every single TES game has its shortcomings. Morrowind looked like ass and the combat was clunky. Oblivion also looked like ass and and empty world outside of the cities. Skyrim also looked like ass and streamlined lore, character creation, gameplay, etc too much for the sake of money.
All of these can be fixed with mods for every game. Except Arena and Daggerfall, fuck those two.
>>332261873
I have, I just never went in the Dark Souls threads. What is wrong with it?
>>332261624
I'll one-up you: I've never liked the permadeath in Fire Emblem games. It, the heavy investment of resources you put into every unit, and the fact that the AI in most of the games is reactive as fuck make the dominant strategy in 90% of maps just a crawling defensive meatgrinder.
>>332260963
Let´s play and e-celeb is fucking retarded. But I guess I´m just too old to "get" with the new generation. I just don´t understand /v/ sucking youtubers dick so much.
>>332262042
Would you rather:
>have fun playing the game, or
>restart five hundred times every time one little thing goes wrong
The choice may seem obvious but remember where we are.
>>332261949
Piece of shit, worst game of 2014, etc.

Don't worry anon, that bubble is going to pop hard within the next five years.
>>332260963
Wargame is literally the pinnacle of RTS and muh old nostalgia AoE/Warcraft/Stacraft/whatever else can't hold a candle to its supreme gameplay.
Halo was a fantastic series.
It had great enemy and armor designs, an unforgettable score, really interesting lore, fun weaponry, awesome diversity of modes-
I just want Halo 3 to come to PC so you fags stop hating it and realize how much fun we can have in Custom Games.
new DOA game is a low quality video game.
Paper Mario 64 > TTYD
UmJammer Lammy > both Parappa games
Rayman Origins > Rayman Legends
Katherine > Catherine
The last good Mario Party was 3.
Turtles in Time is a mindless button masher with music better than its gameplay.
The only good Animal Crossing game was Population Growing.
Mario Kart: Double Dash has awful, slippery controls and mediocre tracks.
Donkey Kong Country 3 feels like a fanmade game.
Baten Kaitos has a garbage combat system.
>>332262616
>The only good Animal Crossing game was Population Growing.
Furry detected.
I don't fucking understand MOBAs.
Like, at all.
And this is coming from someone who likes casual-competitive games and serious-competitive games AND who likes RTSes as well.
First of all, the rounds are WAY too long. 30 minutes should be the absolute minimum but I see games (random games, not tournament play) start stretching into the 45 to 90 minute marks. It's fine if you wanna play that long but 10 people staying engaged in something that arduous sounds like actual torture to me.
In addition to that, you have to put up with the unholy abomination that is other human beings that you have to cooperate with. People who will throw for a laugh or are just generally incompetent. And yes, I understand and accept that you can and should play with your friends, but is that better? Just from observation, I've seen every DotA2/LoL group between friends of mine and they all have at least 1 person who tilts. The tilting comes from the people taking it seriously getting mad at the people NOT taking it seriously and vice versa. The amount of property damage I've witnessed from just sitting in on those sessions is nearing $1000.
And it's all wrapped up in this brick wall of text where character counts are in the triple digits and there's all these items you gotta keep track of which isn't that bad. Every game has a learning curve and I know that there are premade builds to get you started but it seems like the kind of thing someone would drop immediately.
I don't get it.
And I'm not saying any of those games are bad (casually or competitively), I haven't played them long enough to know. I just cannot comprehend how its the #1 genre of video games right now.
>>332260963
The Last of Us is a spectacular game and anyone that calls it a "movie game" either hasn't played it or is trolling.
Half-Life 2 and Ocarina of Time have aged like fine wine.
Sonic is a horrible franchise. The 2D games are tolerable at best, but everything else is absolute shit.
>>332260963
The Souls series is complete shit, and as a FROM fan I hate how the whole myth about it being 'hard' made it so popular in the main stream, let alone here.While thematically the games environments are alright, it's color palette is disgusting. I sort of understand where they were coming from with the went with the grey, washed-out look, but I can't even guess how people can stand looking at the screen after a few hours of that.The combat and hitboxes are clunky, and anybody who says otherwise is either retarded, or the Souls series is the first ARPG (Of this type) they've ever played.Additionally, whenever I see people post how cool the combat animations are or say that they 'have weight' behind them, a small part of my faith in humanity dies.
>>332260963
I don't think wanting to appeal to different audiences and diversifying the characters and games is a bad thing
>>332261949
It's popular, that's about it
Metroid is one of my favorite series but I honestly couldn't give a fuck about sequence breaking or what-have-you. I understand that I'm missing a lot but I just don't care.
Similarly, I adore Character Action games like DMC or Bayonetta, but I'm beyond shit at them and have no desire to improve. I played through all of MGR without realizing there was a parry mechanic.
>>332262874
haha you think people play video games? they experience Heights of Achievements to Brag about to buds lol. remember, every loss you ever had was due to teammates anyways! or an IMBA Character Lol balance patches haha.
>>332262874

>>332262874
>I don't fucking understand MOBAs.
they're not that fun, just addicting.
>what if i: play this character i haven't played yet/buy this item i haven't bought yet/play this lane i haven't played yet/partner with this other character i haven't partnered with yet
not to mention the companies making them just throwing huge amounts of cash into prize pools for people to compete it. then a bunch of kids see pros playing the games and they want to be like them.

So they're a 3D version of candy crush.
>>332263185
Games like MGR or DMC or Bayonetta. It's sort of like a subset of just saying "action game" so you can specify the specific type of game that's all about cuhrazy combos and shit.
>>332260963
The MOBA's are fun.
There hasn't been a decent Monster Hunter game since Freedom Unite.
And I couldn't care less because literally every other ''hunting game'' on the market brings more ideas and play styles to the table than MH ever has or will.
>>332263331
Monster Hunter has never been good.
Half Life 2 is shitpls no hate
>>332263331
Monster Hunter was never good.
>>332260963
I fucking hate the wiiu and the fact that they have to make another home console means that it is a failure no ifs ands or buts...

>>332262135
>worst game of 2014
>in a year where Rambo: The Video Game exists.
The Prime games are absolutely phenomenal but by god do I wish they weren't Metroid games. Metroid could've been transitioned to 3D so much more accurately, but now any 3D game is going to be a Prime-like.
Walking sims can be fine if they tell an interesting story. Not every game has to be ULTRA HARDCORE TWITCH SHOOTAN to have a right to exist.

best elder scrolls titles were battlespire and morrowind
Risen 3 was quite good, overlooked because R2 was shit and "muh tits/pirates lel"
dark souls is overrated, good actiony title but crowning it one of the best rpgs makes me cringe

>>332261432
Most people liked super paper Mario, but it doesn't hold up to the first two
MGS4 was my favourite MGS
I think the controls and camera in mgs4 are perfect version of what he was trying to achieve in MGS3 subsistence
>>332263728
>>332263629
oh god damn it
It literally didn't even enter my brain
>>332263750
It's a pretty common phrase that people understand to mean the type of stylish, over-the-top gameplay that's expected of that kind of game.
>>332260963
-Souls series is bad in general. Anything from controls, to poor optimization, to poor mechanics, to shit AI. Each game has at least one thing. It doesn't help that the fanbase is full of normalfag wiggers, and other shitters who are ruining gaming and go full damage control fromdrone defense force anytime its criticized.
-TTYD=64. They're both good, kill yourself.
-WiiU has only like 3 good games, and they're all mario games.
-Smash hasn't been balanced since 64 and hasn't been good since Melee
-PM is garbage
-FF9 was the last good final fantasy, and every one of them except 2 was good leading up to 9, including tactics.
-I like super metroid, fusion, and zero mission. They're all good.
-Prime except for 1 is garbage. The Wiimote controls make it worse.
-Monster hunter isn't hard, it just has severely crippling and poorly designed mechanics that you're used to
-S.t.a.l.k.e.r. is bad even with mods
-Doom as a whole game has aged poorly, the game mechanics are its only saving grace. (how the guns work, how fast doom guy runs etc)
-Halo is OK, it didn't ruin FPS. money and microsoft did.
-Zelda 2 is the best Zelda title and the series severely fell off into a inescapeable chasm after majoras masks, which wasnt that great in and of itself.
-RE4 Didn't kill the series, infact it was refreshing. Yes it started the action trend but RE5 was the one that killed it, nailed the coffin, and buried it in one fell swoop.
-Mario kart 7>8. MK8 is oversimplified, stripped down, and ultra limited and I'll only go into detail if asked. There's too many things wrong to list in this post.
-Animal crossing belongs on consoles, and I say this as someone who liked New leaf. Handhelds will hold back the series.
Fallout 3 is better than New Vegas.
>>332260963
Undertale is only okay. I didn't really LIKE-like the characters (some I even disliked, like Undyne, Muffet, and Alphys). The story might have been genuinely good, honestly I wasn't invested enough to pay attention and/or care. Emotional aspect was heavy-handed and could have been done way better.
The Solid Snake/Raiden games are the only good MGS games.
>>332260963
Dark Souls 2 is the best Souls game, annoying how people go ''muh lore'' but when the jap version is out ''who cares about the plot'', hypocrites.
>>332261796
It shouldn't be a souls game.
Sonic games never were good.
>>332263864
>Mario kart 7>8. MK8 is oversimplified, stripped down, and ultra limited and I'll only go into detail if asked. There's too many things wrong to list in this post.
This is the only thing I think you said that's objectively wrong, the only other person I know who likes 7 more than 8 is because he's salty he only has a 3DS and no Wii U. Please elaborate why you think this.
Things are fun until I start to power game. Then it becomes a chore to be better.
My favorite games are ones that really don't matter how you play them.
>>332263920
I cannot for the life of me understand how you could hold this opinion. New Vegas is Fallout 3 with more, and better.
>>332262874
Real talk, they're baby's first competitive experience. There's no learning curve so much as a straight 45 degree line. Getting "good" is pretty straight forward because it's 99% reading up on stuff, getting to know the items and abilities and matchups and what not so the time you put into it is directly proportional to how good you will be doing. Between that, the fact that there's zero executional requirements, and the fact that you've got a lot of team members you can shift the blame on when you don't put out, bluntly put, every retard can be competent at mobas.
Sounds like bait but it's the truth. I'm not gonna deny there's some nice stuff going on at the very highest echelons of play, but 99% of people who play mobas just get tricked into thinking they're hot shit. And make no mistake, whoever you are, if you're reading this, you're on of them.
I don't like Kojima
MGO3 is alright.
>>332264336
tl;dr version. The game is dumbed down and hand holdy and is basically a casualized version of mario kart for babbys feelings.
Long story with actual points.
-Holding 1 item was a intentional nerf to fuck over players who were good at defending themselves and who got long leads.
-Coin in the roulette with 1 holding item is self explanatory
-No boost on track reset if you fall off
-Lakitu places you back faster (can be a good or bad thing depending on your mentality, but i see it as a poorly thought out compensation ot the last thing)
-Shell tracking is INSANELY stronger. Coupled with the inability to defend yourself at certain points this lends to the handholding
-triple nanner circles you instead of covering your ass, further removing defensive options. Saying "put a item on the track in between you and it" is a extremely low probability copout defense, so dont even say it because it holds no realistic water.
-recovery time is lengthened compared to 7 if you get hit, further adding to handholding for slow players
-This one could be just me but several /v/ players and a whole lot of /vg/ general players backed this. Defending items (items you hold behind you) are smaller than attacking items, lessening your ability to defend. I cant count the number of times I've seen a green shell PHYSICALLY TOUCH one of my shells and not break, but hit me instead.
Everything about this game is a intentional downgrade compared to 7. OH BUT AT LEAST WE DONT HAVE TROLL TAILS ANYMORE RIGHT? I admit I bought the DLC, but it was a decision made in buyers remorse because I wanted the game to be good. I simply cannot unsee these things, they're game breaking in my eyes. DLC and good graphics/music only carries a broken nerfed and casualized game so far. This game is to mario kart 7 to what brawl is to Melee. A hyper casualized mess nerfed down for peoples feelings.
I'm disappointed that the Platinum Yoko Taro game is Nier 2 since I think Nier is worse than Drakengard 1 or 3
>>332261167
>PC isn't the target demographic
Do you know what demographic means?
bioshock 2 is the best out of all of the series, and that infinite is a bad sci fi rip off of the second one.
Also beat the second one 5 times with all the achievements, that's how much I love it
>>332265385
I'm pretty sure he means that most modern games aren't designed with PC in mind, as in they have shit-all for options and settings, are generally poorly optimized, and have mechanics built around the simplicity of using a controller instead of an entire keyboard and a mouse, so there isn't really much draw to playing on PC over the console the game was designed for.
>>332265538
Not either of those guys but its true. This is where the term consolized came from.
>>332262885
This ,right here, is some really fine bait, good job!
I don't buy games on PC, I buy everything on consoles, then I pirate and play PC version. I don't want to support PC because of its shitty fanboys.
Nintendo is a overrated and lazy company that simply releases the same games each year, with an exception once in a while (such as Super Mario Maker).
>>332265614
>This is where the term consolized came from.
I thought it came from modifying arcade boards to work on TVs.
>>332265801
Well both, I mean the modernization of the term as we use it. Consolization as its used there is a industry term more than one we use on a personal level.
Shigeru Miyamoto should be forcibly removed from Nintendo headquarters. He hasn't had a hand in anything interesting or worthwhile for years, and he vehemently defended Wii Music, and claimed it was "better than a game".
>>332262134
Yeah this is why I like it. I was just restarting any time I lost a unit anyways, they just saved me the hassle of doing so.
>>332266035
He honestly hasn't been anything more than an invasive idea man in years, and even when he was infamous for being the creator of zelda and mario he was still just a fulltime supervisor. The games we love and remember were made by talented and creative development teams, not Shigeru Miyamoto. Those guys who made those games should be supervisors, not Miyamoto.
I think Undertale is one of the best games of all timeNo, this isnt bait
>>332266260
>having to declare something you say isn't bait in an "unpopular opinions" thread
Talk about insecure.
The original Mass Effect 3 endings were great.
>>332263405
Eh, I think even the most diehard Nintendo fans can admit it was a flop at this point. So many things contributed to it's failure that it's hard to pinpoint exactly what, but my personal favorite is naming it the "Wii U."
Say its not bait = get told this
>>332266296
Dont say its not bait = usually get told its bait
There's no winning dude

I've never heard the term "character action" but I kinda like it. There's a term I use, not for a genre but style and attitude applied to certain games which use over the top combos + cinematics with a certain level of self-awareness, and moderately high skill ceilings: deep action.
I think character action might imply something like, there being so much emphasis on the player character's personality and presentation that the amazing gameplay would be nothing without it.
X-COM Apocalypse is the best game in the series.
The Stalker series is the best FPS series.
I like the Mario & Luigi rpg games
>>332266750
I think character action implies a character doing something.
>>332266620
Close, but no cigar.

If you honestly still liked Mass Effect that much after the total let-down that Mass Effect 2 was, you're a fucking idiot.
Please kill yourself. Pic related
The undertale fandom is great!
>>332267008
It's not about being let down, it's about the writing in Mass Effect 3 being completely and totally abysmal, the ending especially. If you told people who knew nothing about Mass Effect about the endings of ME3, every last one of them would say "that sounds fucking stupid." Because it was.
There's nothing "great" about Mass Effect 3's ending, and if you think it is, you should mutilate yourself.
>>332267332
How could you not expect such abysmal writing? Mass Effect 2 was almost just as bad (it is worse that ME3 in my opinion).
The endings for ME3 just made sense to me. I had no problems with how it originally ended.
>>332266456

>it's great because I expected it to be shit from the start
no anon

Call of Duty games are pretty good at delivering what the audience wants, and they're overall good for the industry.
I still find single-player Minecraft enjoyable and comfy, and I find myself revisiting it often.
Nintendo hasn't been relevant since 1996. I consider myself a fan of theirs, but at their current state, they either need to make some big changes, or just fucking die already.
Modern video games are shit all around, and I have a very difficult time getting excited about them anymore.
/v/ is the most enjoyable when it isn't talking about video games.
>>332266829
The phrase has a meaning outside of its literal parsing. Otherwise, genres like JRPG and MOBA would be next to meaningless.
"Character action" refers to a highly specific set of single-player games with fighting game mechanics and high skill ceilings. Or is a code word for platinum fangays.
The first Assassin's Creed game is a masterpiece and every other game in the series (yes, including AC2) are cluttered shit that lost the elegance, atmosphere, and writing wuality of the original.
I like Game Grumps. But only the ones without Arin and/or his Ayy Lmao.
>>332267951
>it was shit the whole time
That is why I don't understand why people are so salty about it.
It was a shit series that people (myself included) stuck with for some reason (my reason was I can't leave ANY story unfinished). It got as good an ending as that shit game could get.
>>332263016
I don't get why people think Souls series is hard.
It's punishing, sure.
Isn't really hard though, unless you are trying to auto-pilot through fights.
It demands attention and will kill you if you slip up but that doesn't really make it OMG SO HARD XDD
It's not easy. It's not hard.
I also hate the color palette. Muh mood, sure but holy shit there are other colors than grey that convey a morose atmosphere.
I think they overuse stone textures. Everything is fucking stone in Dark Souls in particular, except for the really ugly GREEN AS FUCK Darkroot.
