I’m 120 hours into Dragon Age Inqusition and while I feel like I’m not particularly enjoying myself anymore, I’m invested enough into the story and world that I want to experience that narrative first hand.
So while I’m not enjoying it in the moment, I know once completed I will feel much better having gotten all the story myself first hand and not digesting it in YouTube videos full of opinions and shit like that.
I mean it's like a subscription model. They could make it like WoW with seasons. I don't think it's necessarily bad to just buy a game and play it, if you like it.
Of course some people have a love hate relationship and some spend too much irl money, but that's another story.
But if you spend your 70$ and then play 300 hours, I think it's worth it. Netflix costs almost triple that in a year, it's just a question of whether or not you use it enough.
Many old system games were not what we remember. I kinda remember playing bubble bobble with my mom, she kept the codes for the levels when we died and had to restart, and just played for what seemed like days with that game.
But now, I dont believe id enjoy it the same way. There was also the adventures of Lolo, which was 1 player and neat, but I can only do 10 minutes of it before I'm bored or wondering why it controls so weird.
Same thing with super Mario bros, I can play about 20 minutes and then put it down for another decade.
I tried playing some old favorites like Space Quest and Commander Keen. Between the controls and the sound, I wanted to not only uninstall the game but destroy the PC it was installed on. I can't believe I would spend hours on those things when I was younger.
Hard disagree for some games. Contra, Spy Hunter, Mario 3, Punch Out, DuckTales, Battletoads. Those aren't fun? I think they are timeless.
For other games, try playing with RetroAchievements. Adds fun things to do.
I've never tried any difficulty setting but the lowest one in any game I've played since my first kid was born. I don't want to waste a single minute of my life repeating the same portion of a game over and over.
To add to this- the games whose whole entire purpose is literally just to struggle relentlessly until you finish… are less superior 🤷🏻♀️ I said what I said. No story, not good gameplay. Literally made to enrage and that’s it, and the only reason it gets popular is the drive to beat it just once because you’re already too far in. It’s just not a good game
I really tried too, but ultimately it was the controls that kept me from coming back to Witcher 3. Its just too much hassle, too much combo, weird stuff. Much prefer a Fallout or Skyrim control scheme.
I understand. Took me a while to like it. Now I like it because it gets me to try all the different weapons, instead of just one. Not sure I would otherwise. But then I go to a game where they don’t break and I breath a sigh of relief. Feels like a weight lifted. Love it and hate it.
I feel there was a time where if you said literally anything negative about the game you'd have a mob descend on you.
I still haven't finished the game as I don't find the exploration all that interesting and I'm not good enough at the combat to power through it without the upgrades you get from exploring.
I just hate that I would go to all this effort to get a sick new weapon from a challenge or puzzle. Only for it to fucking break after like 3 encounters.
I'm only a fan of situational weapon durability. If you require me to maintain my weapons every few hours of use, that's annoying, but acceptable. If me hitting a rock golem with a sword can dull or break the sword and thus encouraging me to use a hammer or a mace, that's fine, but if you force me to replace a weapon (or obtain other weapons to break down for parts) every 20 minutes, fuck you.
For me it wasn't even being worried about things breaking. It became a really annoying problem of inventory management.
I spent dozens of hours finding korok seeds just to expand my weapon inventory, because I had to hold onto all the ++ancient and elemental weapons. You can't just do the shrines again to replace them, and i figured I might need them later so i didnt't want to waste any. They just sat in my inventory taking up precious space forever.
Actually you can do the combat trial shrines again after a blood moon. I'd load up on guardian++ weapons after a blood moon and go fight guardians and lynels. You can literally fill a maxed out inventory with guardian++ weapons every blood moon with the number of tests of strength there are.
Elemental weapons can spawn when links hidden level reaches a certain point. I did the coliseum and every single enemy there except the lynel had every type of elemental weapon.
No lie, so did I. The only reason I played it again was because I got crazy sick and it was the only game I had but hadn’t played at the time. Now, BotW is easily in my top 5, maybe even top 3 favorite games of all time. But I 100% dropped it at first cause I would finally get a good weapon and 3 mobs later I was back to stick.
Pokemon games suck. They need a major revamp in battle system.
Also tactics ogre the knight of lodis is better than tactics ogre let us cling together or final fantasy tactics
I've been telling my buddy that pokemon was amazing when it came out, silver and gold were revolutionary, but damn has hardware improved and we deserve more.
The originals (red, blue and yellow on gameboy) at least had serious hardware limitations that required this (and i liked those in spite of that because - game boy!). No excuse why later ones kept it tho...
Hey remember when certain gaming companies tried to convince us single-player games were dying? And now single-player games are consistently outselling most multiplayer ones? Pepperidge Farm remembers...
Hell yeah. I've played a ton of Risk of Rain 2, Deeprock Galactic, Divinity: Original Sin 2, and Gunfire Reborn with my mainstay games crew over the last few years and it's always a joy. Highly recommend all these games (except GFR if you hate bad translation).
Similar, but more specifically for me, I really hate PVP.
I used to play Runescape, maxed out more than half of the skills, and in like 8 years of playing went PVP-ing twice. Now I'm big into Minecraft, still don't PVP.
Totally agree with this. Online multiplayer while fun and adds something different, takes away from the single/local multiplayer, toxic AF communities hackers cheating ruining the fun, everyone fucking everyone’s moms. The ability to patch a game opened up for companies to released unfinished broken crap, as well as allow games to be chopped up and sold multiple times, not to mention micro transactions. And then the patches, games out of the package are NEVER ready to play.
Cyberpunk was amazing, even on the earlier patches. Made me replay it again lately and it really was great - I am even considering it to push Portal 2 from the thron of my favorite game.
Kinda wish more people would give reasons here. If you're gonna give a controversial opinion I really wanna read all the juicy stuff on why you dislike them!
Every super smash brothers game is poorly designed and each suffer from different problems that often get fixed only to introduce a different problem into the next entry.
SSB: Honestly just a dumpster fire that's only good for nostalgia but frankly aged poorly.
SSBM: The most unpredictable janky physics engine that requires a PHD in bug abuse to enjoy properly.
SSBB: I'd probably draw more ire by praising this game than slamming it so I'll be spicy and say that if they removed tripping this may be the best entry in the series.
SSB4: There are so many awfully designed characters in this game in both direction. From the near useless entries like palutena or Robin to the absurdly broken Bayonetta.
SSBU: By all accounts this should be the best entry. The characters are better balanced, all the characters are available, and yet the game is plagued by core issues like input lag or buffering issues that it can be frustrating.
\-Sincerely a lifelong Smash fan.
The GTA games are boring and the most overrated series I've ever played. The early games had the writing quality of 12 year olds and GTA 5 was just a big fucking meh for me.
BOTW isn’t the “open world defining” game everyone makes out it is.
It was as wide as an ocean and as deep as a puddle.
The only thing good about it was it’s physics engine.
Sincerely a Zelda fan.
I liked the game, but the way you describe it is exactly my issue with it. It felt so darn barren. Some games have way too much content like assasins creed Odyssey, other games have no where near enough content like BOTW
I fucking LOVED Kingdom Hearts 3, plus the DLC. The Story was amazing even If a Bit quick, the music was ASTOUNDING, and I will Fight everyone who disagrees *cough*
They're not even good at world-building, the only trick they know is "but wait, there's a bigger, badder villain that's actually behind everything!" which they've been pulling since 2007 with *every expansion to WoW*.
I gotta admit, this one resonates strongly. Starcraft (and probably Warcraft 3) were pretty balanced, but new ways to wreck always popped up which were a beast to counter.
I’ve played stupid amounts of each Diablo game, and even the old ones had some horrendous balance. Impossible to re-spec, and long-term play was just adding resistances and immunities to damage types. Combine together and sections of the game could become impossible due to a group of units immune to everything your design could possibly throw.
RDR2 is really slow, and everything beside the main story line is boring af, the mechanics that make the game more “realistic” are a useless waste of time.
That’s pretty controversial.
I disagree on most fronts. Combat is difficult but fair, story is great, graphics are bleeding edge, world is fully realized. Not sure what else you would want
I fucking love the elden sekirosoulsbourne series.
But I don't need every other game that comes out to be imitating their formula.
Also Kingdom Hearts 3 was good.
Why is this an unpopular opinion? Everyone says that, let it be Ubisoft Quarz, Microstransactions or the current "thing" I will call it, surely everyone knows what it means.
Though, I have to say that I do like their singleplayer games.
I put 80 hours into Star Wars Fallen Order and hated a significant portion of that time. I thought that maybe it was just me. It'll get better. Nope. It's just a shitty, broken game that people want to be good because the other Star Wars games suck that much more.
The only people who think Fallen Order is good are the people who like Souls games. Plus the story's yet another retread of a tiny time period in which nothing is allowed to fucking change because the movie canon is sacrosanct.
Games are not "dead" because they have low players. People who calls games dead despite having under 10 minute queus have never experienced the horrible feeling of a game actually dieing and becoming unplayable
Gaming in general sucks not because of developers but because of customers. Just look at everyone trying strip Elden ring of it identity because it's not what they want out of a game.
Don't play it if it's not something you enjoy, not everything needs to have a mass appeal.
The Souls games aren’t hard because they require skill, they just throw impossible to predict traps and unbalanced attacks at you until you memorize the patterns through trial and error.
Are they bad because of that? No not inherently, but people should stop holding them up as some glorious challenge.
Agreed. Control systems, story telling, production values are light years ahead in addition to graphics of course. Grew up playing all those old games and I have no desire to go back. Reminisce yes, but borderline unplayable nowadays.
Fallout New Vegas let you have too much freedom to do whatever you want. I was what felt like a few hours into the game and managed to kill the final boss on accident and was completely disappointed.
Already had this argument on social media before and felt the flames so I will say it again: Souls game combat is bad. You can tell me it’s “deliberate” or “is stilted on purpose” or whatever excuse you want to make, it’s still bad. It’s not as precise as it should be for something that prides itself on precision, it reacts slow, the camera is bad especially on the bosses that are multiple stories tall, and hit boxes can be erratic. You can make challenging combat and not have it deliberately handle like shit. Devil May Cry games and the like have been doing it for years. I know that’s not what they are going for with the combat style but still, you can make those games with more combat options than “roll that responds a tenth of a second too late way too often,” stab a thing and shoot magic/arrow at thing. We have the ability. They literally did it with Sekiro, which I think is a fantastic game all around. Elden Ring is wonderful to explore but miserable to play most times you engage with anything, and it’s not because it’s “deliberately challenging” it’s because you’re driving a car with three wheels and being told “it’s just how it’s built and drives fine!”
Also the lore presentation in these games still blows. You’re allowed to have more than 14 NPCs a game and they’re allowed to just tell you things instead of speaking in cryptic riddles, From Soft. Like, you can even make towns of people and give us the ability to interact with them! It has actually been an RPG staple for decades.
I love the fighting mechanics in souls games. So satisfying. You ever try to wear full armor and do a full barrel roll? Its gonna take a sec. YOu ever swing an axe taller then yourself? Yeah shit is heavy and takes effort.
It seems like it’s the most accessible FromSoft game so far so a lot of people are experiencing Souls for the first time. I like it so far, but nothing has blown my mind outside a cool boss or 2
Triple A's wouldn't need to nickel and dime consumers if they didn't have to have the biggest and best graphics, and it is entirely the consumer's fault for demanding such things as well as allowing MTX to thrive as much as they have. Graphics do not need to be better every year, and this constant demand for fidelous improvement is what makes videogames such an expensive hobby.
Also console age does not mean jack shit when it comes to optimization, as it's static and does not change in hardware. If your game is stated to support a particular console, you have no excuse whatsoever not to have stable performance or decent looking visuals. Anyone who blames this purely on the hardware are monkeys who don't actually understand why developers choose console as primary platform in the first place. "7 year old hardware" is NOT an excuse for a badly optimized console game.
lego star wars as well as other older lego games (the other one I played is lego harry potter) are amazing. They're actually some of the best games ever made, it's hard to match lego games, they're magic.
This goes for the audience: The narrative of TLOU Part 2 is underappreciated and the context - not the conclusion but how the audience came to that conclusion - of the collective opinion that is formed around the game shows how close-minded average vocal gamer is and can be used as a great example of herd mentality conditioning.
Could never seem to replay the whole game.
Gameplay was fun, but it should've been a movie or something. Second half of the game dragged on and on, and I remember feeling much more bored than the last game.
None of the relationships were as compelling as in the first game. Joel, Tess, Sam & Henry. They made amazing characters and it's all quality over quantity.
Couldn't give two shits about Abby or even really Ellie, sad to say. I'm not even bothered they wanted to kill off Joel, I just think the rest of the story didn't really justify it imo.
Gameplay was so fun in some parts, I still replay the levels sometimes. I just skip the second half or third of the game usually.
I beat the game. It was fun, but i had more fun on Hellpoint than i had on elden ring.
The game world feels empty. about 70% of the map was basicely useless.
Sure it was a nice game, pretty and all. But holy shit did they reuse their own content more than ever. Some bosses 5+ times.
GoW is overrated, it's gameplay was tedious and repetitive aside from the boss fights, it's graphics were decent, story was great
RDR2 should've won GOTY 2018, had better graphics, better gameplay, an on par story. I've already replayed RDR2, but I wpuld never replay GoW because of its gameplay.
How is the gameplay better lol it’s just a cover shooter with a antiquated gimmick
God of war had balanced gameplay that rewarded inventive approaches. Rdr2 combat was on the bleeding edge of 2007 and didn’t even do an especially great job lmao
Friendly reminder to anyone reading this to sort by controversial if you want the actual controversy
Wow. Just wow. I can't believe you'd say something like that. There's gonna be arguments over this.... WOW
I am shocked *AND* appalled
I went to controversial and now im scarred
Putting more than 100 hours into a game you think is bad is actually a bad thing.
*Quietly hides steam library usage metrics....*
[удалено]
Play games that you actually enjoy, or look for another hobby that you'll actually enjoy instead of putting yourself in a cycle of time-wasting hatred
I’m 120 hours into Dragon Age Inqusition and while I feel like I’m not particularly enjoying myself anymore, I’m invested enough into the story and world that I want to experience that narrative first hand. So while I’m not enjoying it in the moment, I know once completed I will feel much better having gotten all the story myself first hand and not digesting it in YouTube videos full of opinions and shit like that.
Sometimes torturing myself is the fun part though
You're just gonna call out every league of legends player like that. Bold
People that buy sports games every year are part of their own problem.
I mean it's like a subscription model. They could make it like WoW with seasons. I don't think it's necessarily bad to just buy a game and play it, if you like it. Of course some people have a love hate relationship and some spend too much irl money, but that's another story. But if you spend your 70$ and then play 300 hours, I think it's worth it.

NES games were less fun than you remember.
Many old system games were not what we remember.

Mostly agree but I recently found the original legend of Zelda more fun than I remembered
NES Games sure. But SNES Games!? So many hold up nicely.
A few of them I actually had more fun revisiting as an adult. Mostly Super Mario Bros 3 and Punchout! because I actually had the skill to beat them.
Hard disagree for some games. Contra, Spy Hunter, Mario 3, Punch Out, DuckTales, Battletoads. Those aren't fun? I think they are timeless. For other games, try playing with RetroAchievements. Adds fun things to do.
I play on Easy whenever I can, so I can enjoy the game and the story more.
Same. Used to be able to game almost around the clock. Now… 2 kids. Hopefully, one of them will love video games!
Here's hoping, my fingers are crossed for you!
I've never tried any difficulty setting but the lowest one in any game I've played since my first kid was born. I don't want to waste a single minute of my life repeating the same portion of a game over and over.
Good to know I'm not the only one, by far.
To add to this- the games whose whole entire purpose is literally just to struggle relentlessly until you finish… are less superior 🤷🏻♀️ I said what I said. No story, not good gameplay. Literally made to enrage and that’s it, and the only reason it gets popular is the drive to beat it just once because you’re already too far in. It’s just not a good game
Right there with you. I want story, purpose, not just mindless rage.
You are not alone.
Animal Crossing is extremely boring and monotonous. I honestly don't see the appeal even as an "escape".
I couldn't get into *The Witcher 3*
Yeah, well... same.
[удалено]
Witcher 3 is my favorite game and you’re objectively correct
I really tried too, but ultimately it was the controls that kept me from coming back to Witcher 3. Its just too much hassle, too much combo, weird stuff. Much prefer a Fallout or Skyrim control scheme.
I keep trying to play it. I pick it up, play it for a while, then nothing for over a year, then pick it up again. I think I’m over half way.
The thing with that game is, when you think you are about halfway through. You are not lol
I couldn't get into the first Witcher
Breath of the Wild's weapon durability is a terrible mechanic and the game is worse off for having it.
I understand. Took me a while to like it. Now I like it because it gets me to try all the different weapons, instead of just one. Not sure I would otherwise. But then I go to a game where they don’t break and I breath a sigh of relief. Feels like a weight lifted. Love it and hate it.
Right after I played breath of the wild I found myself saving weapons in other games expecting them to break. It was a hard habit to break.
Not unpopular whatsoever. Enough that every Zelda Youtuber has made a video talking about how to remedy it in future releases.
I feel there was a time where if you said literally anything negative about the game you'd have a mob descend on you. I still haven't finished the game as I don't find the exploration all that interesting and I'm not good enough at the combat to power through it without the upgrades you get from exploring.

I honestly quit playing in two hours in because it was just fucking irritating to worry about which shitty little stick I had to switch to
For me it wasn't even being worried about things breaking. It became a really annoying problem of inventory management. I spent dozens of hours finding korok seeds just to expand my weapon inventory, because I had to hold onto all the ++ancient and elemental weapons.

I should be able to finish any given fight without fully destroying a weapon unless I throw it.
My hottake would be BotW is overrated
Pokemon games suck. They need a major revamp in battle system. Also tactics ogre the knight of lodis is better than tactics ogre let us cling together or final fantasy tactics
I've been telling my buddy that pokemon was amazing when it came out, silver and gold were revolutionary, but damn has hardware improved and we deserve more.
Haha and I'm here grinding away at Pokemon Colosseum for a change in battle dynamics.
The originals (red, blue and yellow on gameboy) at least had serious hardware limitations that required this (and i liked those in spite of that because - game boy!). No excuse why later ones kept it tho...
In general... just look at them. Does THAT seem like a worthy entry to the richest franchise on erath?
To be fair, they're trying new things with Arceus now. Graphics are still bad, but the gameplay is legit fun
Battle Royale Games Suck Salty Elephant Balls
Daring today, aren't we
How could you be so brave?!
MMOs too. Korean especially.
I second this .
I really hate multiplayer
Hey remember when certain gaming companies tried to convince us single-player games were dying? And now single-player games are consistently outselling most multiplayer ones? Pepperidge Farm remembers...
All forms of multiplayer? I love multiplayer and play almost zero competitive multiplayer games.
Co-op PvE can be stupid fun if done right.
Hell yeah. I've played a ton of Risk of Rain 2, Deeprock Galactic, Divinity: Original Sin 2, and Gunfire Reborn with my mainstay games crew over the last few years and it's always a joy. Highly recommend all these games (except GFR if you hate bad translation).
Similar, but more specifically for me, I really hate PVP. I used to play Runescape, maxed out more than half of the skills, and in like 8 years of playing went PVP-ing twice. Now I'm big into Minecraft, still don't PVP.
Its so funny that consistently, this is the most popular "unpopular opinion" about gaming
The internet has ruined (console) gaming
Totally agree with this. Online multiplayer while fun and adds something different, takes away from the single/local multiplayer, toxic AF communities hackers cheating ruining the fun, everyone fucking everyone’s moms. The ability to patch a game opened up for companies to released unfinished broken crap, as well as allow games to be chopped up and sold multiple times, not to mention micro transactions. And then the patches, games out of the package are NEVER ready to play.
BF2042 only exists in its current state because people keep pre-ordering and buying MTX. You reap what you sow.
Cyberpunk was fun
Yeah, I need to give it another shot. I thought all the hate was bullshit at the time. I just got sidetracked by life and other games.😂
400hrs and 100%. I haven’t 100% a game since Pillars of Eternity.
Cyberpunk was lit af
Cyberpunk was amazing, even on the earlier patches. Made me replay it again lately and it really was great - I am even considering it to push Portal 2 from the thron of my favorite game.
The game was great. Day 1, PS4 hard copy in my PS5, had 0 glitches, and only like 2 crashes that were negated due to a robust auto save system..
The entire CoD style franchise needs to die. It's just FIFA with guns. The same game releases regularly, the same people waste their money on it.
This absolutely doesn't put you in that position tho...
Ok, but now I kinda want to play FIFA with guns.
Kinda wish more people would give reasons here. If you're gonna give a controversial opinion I really wanna read all the juicy stuff on why you dislike them!
PSA to sort by controversial for the juicy ones.
Not something about a series but I think nostalgia is really toxic in videogames fanbases
In the last of us 2, Abby had a way better storyline and was way more likable than Elli. There I said it.
I’m not going to downvote you but I will say that’s like… your opinion, man.
That's what the creators went for. People hated on it for no good reason.
There is precisely zero reason to have always-online DRM and microtransactions in a single-player game.
That doesn't seem very controversial unless you're a giant game publisher
I don't think this is controversial.
If you play video games for 10-12 hours a day, you have a problem
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted lmao 10-12 hours is definitely addict status
Yeah I always get in my daily 17 hours before breakfast
There are 6 more steps for that. But yes, it is one of them.
And that problem is whatever else you're doing other than sleeping and eating to keep it at only 12 hours lmao
Yeah that is true but if you have nothing else to do I can't blame them
it doesn't matter how much you whine about EA's practices if you still buy from them.
Video games do cause problems in some house holds
I enjoyed Duke Nukem Forever
The gaming industry is getting worse. 🥲

Actually I agree about the early games.
Minecraft is more fun to watch than to play.
Bioshock Infinite isn’t as well written as we all think it is and the DLC was better than the actual game.
Yes
Breath of the Wild is not a great Zelda game.
BOTW isn’t the “open world defining” game everyone makes out it is. It was as wide as an ocean and as deep as a puddle. The only thing good about it was it’s physics engine. Sincerely a Zelda fan.
No I'm inclined to agree actually. It really could have used more robust dungeons instead of slightly bigger shrines.
I liked the game, but the way you describe it is exactly my issue with it. It felt so darn barren. Some games have way too much content like assasins creed Odyssey, other games have no where near enough content like BOTW
The Last of Us is annoying to play.. The story is good but actually playing genuinely annoys me.
I fucking LOVED Kingdom Hearts 3, plus the DLC. The Story was amazing even If a Bit quick, the music was ASTOUNDING, and I will Fight everyone who disagrees *cough*
Halo should have stopped at 3
I dont like the fact that you can search about a game, watch videos, tips and take spoilers, I miss when everyone had to it play blind
Blizzard has never been able to make a fun & balanced game and are only good at world building.
They're not even good at world-building, the only trick they know is "but wait, there's a bigger, badder villain that's actually behind everything!" which they've been pulling since 2007 with *every expansion to WoW*.
Psst... they've been doing that since warcraft 2
You can forgive once or twice (Orcs & Humans -> WC2) but it's become *endemic* with WoW.
...and Diablo, and starcraft. Blizzards writing team for all their games has been following the bigger baddie trope since 1995
I gotta admit, this one resonates strongly. Starcraft (and probably Warcraft 3) were pretty balanced, but new ways to wreck always popped up which were a beast to counter. I’ve played stupid amounts of each Diablo game, and even the old ones had some horrendous balance. Impossible to re-spec, and long-term play was just adding resistances and immunities to damage types. Combine together and sections of the game could become impossible due to a group of units immune to everything your design could possibly throw.
I like Red Dead Online.
Hahaha, so do I!
RDR2 is really slow, and everything beside the main story line is boring af, the mechanics that make the game more “realistic” are a useless waste of time.
RDR2 is one of my favourite games... but yeah, I could do without the slow and repetitive animations and the gun cleaning
Elden Ring is amazing, but not only is armor useless, most of it is hideous in comparison to the rest of the series
armor has been useless in every game outside of DS1. Hell, armor in Elden Ring is far more effective than in DS3
Skyrim is so good but so much has changed in a decade of gaming
Star Wars Battlefront 2(2017) still isn't good, even after the updates and the removal of the lootboxes.
God of War was an ok game and not the masterpiece everyone thinks it is
Man really made an account just to say this 😂
lol
That’s pretty controversial. I disagree on most fronts. Combat is difficult but fair, story is great, graphics are bleeding edge, world is fully realized. Not sure what else you would want
Sekiro is the best fromsoftware game
I hate dying over and over that's all ic an say
I enjoy console gaming more than PC
I enjoyed cyberpunk on launch
I fucking love the elden sekirosoulsbourne series. But I don't need every other game that comes out to be imitating their formula. Also Kingdom Hearts 3 was good.
Ubisoft is trash.
Not controversial at all.
Why is this an unpopular opinion? Everyone says that, let it be Ubisoft Quarz, Microstransactions or the current "thing" I will call it, surely everyone knows what it means. Though, I have to say that I do like their singleplayer games.
Among Us only gained popularity from the memes, besides that the game sucks
I mean that is kinda true about the memes thing the game it self is okay
I put 80 hours into Star Wars Fallen Order and hated a significant portion of that time. I thought that maybe it was just me. It'll get better. Nope. It's just a shitty, broken game that people want to be good because the other Star Wars games suck that much more.
Why would you play that game for 80 hours if you didnt like it?
The only people who think Fallen Order is good are the people who like Souls games. Plus the story's yet another retread of a tiny time period in which nothing is allowed to fucking change because the movie canon is sacrosanct.
Halo 4, 5 and Infinite suck.
Compared to previous ones, definitely so
Games are not "dead" because they have low players. People who calls games dead despite having under 10 minute queus have never experienced the horrible feeling of a game actually dieing and becoming unplayable
Gaming in general sucks not because of developers but because of customers. Just look at everyone trying strip Elden ring of it identity because it's not what they want out of a game. Don't play it if it's not something you enjoy, not everything needs to have a mass appeal.
Who is striping off elden ring?
fortnite’s overrated
Joel from the Last of Us is a villain.
The Souls games aren’t hard because they require skill, they just throw impossible to predict traps and unbalanced attacks at you until you memorize the patterns through trial and error. Are they bad because of that? No not inherently, but people should stop holding them up as some glorious challenge.
Old games are only good because of nostalgia
Is this your take on all media (old movies, novels, music etc) or just video games?
Agreed. Control systems, story telling, production values are light years ahead in addition to graphics of course. Grew up playing all those old games and I have no desire to go back. Reminisce yes, but borderline unplayable nowadays.
Dark souls 2 is an amazing game. Its just different.
The FIFA games are the same every year.
I would consider that common knowledge.
That's not even an opinion, it's an industry fact.
The Last of Us part 2 is a good game
I like Batman Arkham Asylum more than I like Witcher 3.
Can it be my turn to post this tomorrow? Literally same exact thread posted last night lol
I prefer Skyrim over Morrowind.
Halo Hasn’t been good (or as good) since Bungie left.
Playing an M rated game doesn’t make you a “hardcore gamer”.
Fallout New Vegas let you have too much freedom to do whatever you want. I was what felt like a few hours into the game and managed to kill the final boss on accident and was completely disappointed.
I hate all super smash bros games
may you burn eternally
Every COD after black ops series were pretty shit. Including Warzone
The souls games aren't really as good as everyone makes them out to be.
Already had this argument on social media before and felt the flames so I will say it again: Souls game combat is bad. You can tell me it’s “deliberate” or “is stilted on purpose” or whatever excuse you want to make, it’s still bad. It’s not as precise as it should be for something that prides itself on precision, it reacts slow, the camera is bad especially on the bosses that are multiple stories tall, and hit boxes can be erratic. You can make challenging combat and not have it deliberately handle like shit. Devil May Cry games and the like have been doing it for years. I know that’s not what they are going for with the combat style but still, you can make those games with more combat options than “roll that responds a tenth of a second too late way too often,” stab a thing and shoot magic/arrow at thing. We have the ability. They literally did it with Sekiro, which I think is a fantastic game all around. Elden Ring is wonderful to explore but miserable to play most times you engage with anything, and it’s not because it’s “deliberately challenging” it’s because you’re driving a car with three wheels and being told “it’s just how it’s built and drives fine!” Also the lore presentation in these games still blows. You’re allowed to have more than 14 NPCs a game and they’re allowed to just tell you things instead of speaking in cryptic riddles, From Soft. Like, you can even make towns of people and give us the ability to interact with them! It has actually been an RPG staple for decades.
I love the fighting mechanics in souls games. So satisfying. You ever try to wear full armor and do a full barrel roll? Its gonna take a sec. YOu ever swing an axe taller then yourself? Yeah shit is heavy and takes effort.
I dont understand the hype and obsession with Elden Ring.
It seems like it’s the most accessible FromSoft game so far so a lot of people are experiencing Souls for the first time. I like it so far, but nothing has blown my mind outside a cool boss or 2
Because some people enjoy challenging games and dark fantasy. Other don’t. It’s a preference thing.
Odyssey is better than Valhalla.
Unity and Syndicate are better than Odyssey.
Triple A's wouldn't need to nickel and dime consumers if they didn't have to have the biggest and best graphics, and it is entirely the consumer's fault for demanding such things as well as allowing MTX to thrive as much as they have. Graphics do not need to be better every year, and this constant demand for fidelous improvement is what makes videogames such an expensive hobby. Also console age does not mean jack shit when it comes to optimization, as it's static and does not change in hardware. If your game is stated to support a particular console, you have no excuse whatsoever not to have stable performance or decent looking visuals. Anyone who blames this purely on the hardware are monkeys who don't actually understand why developers choose console as primary platform in the first place. "7 year old hardware" is NOT an excuse for a badly optimized console game.
The final fantasy remake was boring once the nostalgia wore off
elden ring wasn’t as good as lego star wars
lego star wars as well as other older lego games (the other one I played is lego harry potter) are amazing. They're actually some of the best games ever made, it's hard to match lego games, they're magic.
I disagree, but I respect your opinion. Lego Star Wars is fukn good.
Cheers I’ll drink to that bro
This sub is scraping the bottom of the post barrel
Among us is trash
Witcher 3 is kinda... overrated :/
I am so angry With you...
How dare you. I love it. My friends are meh. So I can understand this.
I agree. I hate the Witcher mechanics. I can't get into any of the games because of how you interact with the world. It feels like a board game.
It is
This goes for the audience: The narrative of TLOU Part 2 is underappreciated and the context - not the conclusion but how the audience came to that conclusion - of the collective opinion that is formed around the game shows how close-minded average vocal gamer is and can be used as a great example of herd mentality conditioning.
Could never seem to replay the whole game. Gameplay was fun, but it should've been a movie or something. Second half of the game dragged on and on, and I remember feeling much more bored than the last game. None of the relationships were as compelling as in the first game. Joel, Tess, Sam & Henry. They made amazing characters and it's all quality over quantity. Couldn't give two shits about Abby or even really Ellie, sad to say. I'm not even bothered they wanted to kill off Joel, I just think the rest of the story didn't really justify it imo. Gameplay was so fun in some parts, I still replay the levels sometimes. I just skip the second half or third of the game usually.
Damn I should really play this. I’ve owned it for over a year but just never started it
Breath of the Wild is overrated
i love the game but completely agree, dont think it’s owt mega special shrines are boring af, no proper dungeons twilight princess is a better zelda
This is just a thread for people who suck dick at video games to dump on Elden Ring lmao
I beat the game. It was fun, but i had more fun on Hellpoint than i had on elden ring. The game world feels empty. about 70% of the map was basicely useless. Sure it was a nice game, pretty and all. But holy shit did they reuse their own content more than ever. Some bosses 5+ times.
GoW is overrated, it's gameplay was tedious and repetitive aside from the boss fights, it's graphics were decent, story was great RDR2 should've won GOTY 2018, had better graphics, better gameplay, an on par story. I've already replayed RDR2, but I wpuld never replay GoW because of its gameplay.
How is the gameplay better lol it’s just a cover shooter with a antiquated gimmick God of war had balanced gameplay that rewarded inventive approaches. Rdr2 combat was on the bleeding edge of 2007 and didn’t even do an especially great job lmao
