What are your unpopular gaming opinions?

Naughty Dog gameplay is trash.

Ratchet and clank is boring

Horzon Zero Dawn looks like a BOTW rip off

Gears is not that good

Sony exclusives are 80% crap. Fortnite, PUBG and Call of Duty are all crap franchises. Super hero games are trash. 60 fps is fine. Digital media is great. JRPGs are great. Turn based combat is the best way to play RPGs. Choosing portability over performance and graphics is fine. Japanese devs are better than Western devs. It's ok to like more than one system or platform.

Have you seen Super Nintendo's Full Game lineup how the f does GameCube have a better library than that? It's impossible take that back right now.

Mario 64 is very technical its got an open castle you can explore its got the best overworld the castle is the overworld thats epic your trash solid you know 64 is better than sunshine.

I don't know the youtuber.

Well SNES has a much better lineup GameCube for starters and its not even close.

TMNT in time,

FF4

FF6,

earthbound, chrono trigger, link ot the past, yoshi island, smw, super metroid, star fox, f-zero, ken griffey MLB, DKC 1-3, Mario RPG, Mario Kart, Megaman x 1-3, castlevania 4, contra 3, street fighter 2, mortal kombat 1-3, nba jam, pilotwings, super punchout

Do you want me to list some more on how his take is friggin awful unpopular im not done monsieurx

I so agree on TW3. I just never understood the popularity of that title.

PC gaming paying a premium to be uncomfortable for extended periods of time

For the time N64 controller was pretty good.

Yeah. If Sony still had exclusives like Spyro, Twisted Metal, Final Fantasy Tactics, Legacy of Kain (no longer a PS1 exclusive though), Silent Hill, Parasite Eve, Road Rash, etc, I'd still gladly buy a Playstation Console. Half of those were missing on the PS2, the other half were gone soon after. Now it's God of War and TLOU. Yawn.

I think N64 had the better Nintendo first party games. Mario 64 and OOT are probably the 2 best games of all time.

Dude I enjoyed GC's library far more than SNES, and that era of gaming aged better. There's only so much side scrolling I can go back and play before I get bored.

Its cool you enjoyed GameCubes library but SNES had a bigger one and those 2D games age like fine wine...

Can you list your GameCube library compared to this? What games were as big these on the Cube?

Can you or solid or that other monseurx SHOW Me your game cube games compared to this list SHOW ME i just don't believe you have a better one right not I need to see it to believe it cause look at all this. Prove it to me.

@ProtossRushX: Eternal Darkness, Paper Mario TTYD, Mario Sunshine, Metroid Prime, Resident Evil Zero, 4, REmake, Wave Race Blue Storm, F-Zero GX, MK DD, SSB Melee, Star Fox Assault, Wind Waker, Mario Golf Toadstool Tour, MGS Twin Snakes, Animal Crossing, Pikmin.

Just off the top of my head.

Nathan you aren't saying Paper Mario beats this? Im exxor a rappers angels I'm giant sword the axem rangers. i got the PAPER MARIO TRASH CAN. MARIO RPG THE GOAT. GENO WHIRL!

Bro you've got like a few games that are great not nearly as many as SNES. Every on snes i listed is like there pinnacle. A lot of the ones you lists are beaten by other games

I like all current gen systems but I really feel like I need to add a System Wars flavor when posting here.

I enjoyed both Halo 4 and 5.

Yes something happened to Sony at some point and they just went down hill for me. Where is Wild Arms, Suikoden, Vandal Hearts, Tactics, Jumping Flash, Castlvaina SOTN, XENOGEARS, Legend of Dragoon, Breath of Fire 3, Grandia, Lunar 1+2 complete and so very many more. Ps4 offered crap movie games and trash Final Fantasy Final Fantasy 7 remake (the original is 10x better). They even sold off Sony online entertainment and bailed out of handheld gaming.

I guess bro dude games took over and Hollywood style trash movie games took hold and so gg. Sony will NEVER be anything compared to what they once were. It is what it is.

@mojito1988: I’m not a fan of the Hollywood movie games either, and am surprised that they are even as popular as they are. Just out of curiosity what games fall under the “bro dude game” category?

As far as my unpopular opinion, I’d have to say that WoW is overrated, just an endless amount of repetitive fetch quests, not much skill involved in most of the gameplay.

Only due to revisionist fan history. Like a certain part of a Galaxy Far, Far Away.

Seriously, Cube was REVILED when it was released (which is ironically around the same time the Star Wars prequels were releasing), but then the Wii came out and this was everyone who hated the Cube (like SW fans once Disney bought the IP and released Force Awakens) very quickly...

Bring up Star Fox, nevermind neither Adventures OR Assault not being well loved on release (given it's platform, how fitting)...

That handle was useless, given you still need the damn cables to hook up.

Nintendo's games are made with children in mind, and are way overrated.

Sony's game are trash, worthless games where the devs pay FAR more attention to the graphics & story ahead of gameplay. And their games are way overrated.

The Sega Megadrive will ALWAYS be better than the SNES.

The N64 is Nintendo's best ever console.

Video game awards/shows are the equivalent of participation ribbons.

The Sega Dreamcast is the best console created.

Elder Scrolls games are trash.

This is unpopular... how?

@nintendoboy16: They are widely loved, no?

• Age of Empires II > StarCraft.
• Company of Heroes was the best game of 2006.
• Uncharted 4 was underwhelming
• Kojima's last masterpiece was MGS3.
• ICO > SOTC.
• God of War 2018 is the only good GOW game.
• Nintendo as a business sucks.
• I didn't care for Hotline Miami.
• I loved the OG Xbox Duke Controller.

@Seabas989: "Kojima's last masterpiece was MGS3.

ICO > SOTC."

Blasphemy!

Single player games are boring

Shooter campaigns need to go away (except Titanfall)

Open world games are boring

And widely reviled at the same time. Two things can be true at once.

Also not that hot a take...

Not outside the internet.

@nintendoboy16: I don't believe that is true at all.

I haven't played Death Stranding yet. However, every MGS game after 3 was disappointing and/or terrible.

Also, I wasn't a fan of SOTC's controls. Granted the last time I played it was on the PS2.

@Seabas989: Given widespread criticism of joycon drift (there are lawsuits up the ass right now), and hell even with more "classics" like this:

You kidding? With every meme on how "Todd Howard Lies" (though I think there are MUCH worse, like Tatsuya Nomura, Katsuhiro Harada, and Masahiro Sakurai). And even in this particular forum on how there is a f-ton of threads on why "Elder Scrolls is actually terrible" or it "dumbs down?"

Consoles are shit nowadays

BOTW/Mario odyssey were disappointing

Using a controller for shooters is a joke

Bethesda is trash

Cyberpunk is an awful, awful game besides the bugs

Look, SNES was a great system, and you're not wrong for preferring it, just like none of us are wrong for preferring the GC. Nintendo's offerings were overall more polished than their N64 predecessors, and 3rd party support was much better (though admittedly not as good as PS XB).

Anyway, here are a few more reasons I love the Cube:

• Super Monkey Ball
• Time Splitters
• Tony Hawk Series
• Soul Calibur 2
• Need for Speed series
• SSX series
• 1080 Avalanche
• Smash Bros
• Geist
• Midway's ITZ games
• EA's Street games
• Peak Mario Sports
• REmake and RE 4
• Viewtiful Joe
• Def Jam: Fight for New York (Which is the best wrestling game ever made. Yes, better than No Mercy. Fight me)
• Roadkill (Twisted Metal meets GTA)
• Ikaruga
• James Bond: Nightfire and Everything or Nothing

Yup. Unfortunately though, it wasn't just Sony. Xbox peaked with the OG Xbox (maybe another unpopular opinion) with games like the early Halo titles, KOTOR, Fable. In fact, much of the value I see in the Series S is playing OG Xbox stuff that didn't make it to PC.

PS3 and Vita were the last good Playstation systems.

Star Citizen is one of the biggest scams in history.

Im so tired of all the open world games that take 100+ hours to finish.

Watch Dogs series was mediocre at best.

Saints Row is better than GTA

No N64 game has aged well.

FF6 > FF7 in terms of story and characters.

Starlink (on Switch) is the best Star Fox game.

Bro dude games are like the First person shooters, and games like COD, Fortnight. Games made for teens/20 somethings to run around with guns and feel like men.

I donno man, my nephew plays the shit out of Fortnight., seems to be the social aspect. Not like, trying to pretend to be Biff from Back To The Future or anything. Just wants to play some fun shit with his mates. Like any MP game all the way back to the putting coins in an arcade machine, pretty much all games are better when played with other people.

This is false as Kojima has never made a masterpiece as he's a hack.

I played my Xbox One X more than my PS4 Pro

They were groundbreaking for sure, but I feel as though Gamecube games have aged far more gracefully.

If I play Mario Kart 64, I'm looking at ugly sprites.

If I play Mario Kart Double Dash, I'll look at a great looking game to this day.

This game was masterpiece

Most of these are popular opinion lol.

@ghosts4ever: Metal Gear Solid should not be played with texture filtering.

As much as I loved the PS1 and N64, I cannot play most of those games on default hardware anymore. The combination of the very low poly 3D models and low frame rates, or worse, the PS1s popping textures and waving lines just give me a headache now. It may be unpopular opinion, but I find those games to be best via emulation, where resolution can be boosted, and some of the issues with original hardware can be corrected.

Gamecube is by far the best Nintendo console. BY FAR.

PlayStation sucks, from boring games that aren't running well on the system, to horrible controllers. Yes, PS2 is included in the suckage.

The Witcher 3 is a 7/10, at best.

3D GTA games suck. Top down ones are great.

Prey (2006) > Prey (2017)

Free to play model is horrible.

Super Mario 3D World is easily the worst 3D Mario game.

Super Mario 3D Land is one of the best 3DS games.

Call of Duty is terrible.

Assassin's Creed is terrible.

Halo was always overrated in its prime. First one was pretty fun. Let's leave it at that.

Street Fighter has changed too little since SF2.

Seeing people running around with pink camouflage weapon skins and green neon clothes in every shooter today is fucking annoying. Knowing said fugly skins costs a lot of money, makes it even more annoying.

Dreams and No Man's Sky are two of the best games ever made

SW Battlefront 2 is an amazing game

PS2 is insanely overrated

Indie gaming was the best thing that happened to this industry in decades

8th generation was fantastic, probably my favourite since 16bit one

Sunshine is one of the most overrated game on forums. I swear it is.

People have a weird hatred for Fortnite, and I don't get it. The game is just appealing to kids and what's popular now; every game is like that. Pokemon used to be like that. Mario Kart used to be like that. GTA used to be like that. Halo used to be like that. Several other games used to be the game that friends all gathered around to play.

Gaming Forums have got to get over their Fortnite hate. It's sad and disgusting at this point. Like Fortnite doesn't have an problematic aspects as far as money and gameplay goes. It's literally hated simply because a lot of people love it. Forums gamers have got to grow tf up.

Honestly, Game Pass isn't even a good thing for gaming as a whole. The "renter's mentality" is almost certain to create a race to the bottom. We already see the beginnings of that with garbage like Crackdown 3.

The only people who think otherwise are Microsoft and their sycophants, and even Microsoft seems to be waking up, if their myriad acquisitions are anything to go by.

BC is a hell of a great bonus, but yeah... I tend to keep my old systems. Learned that lesson after Grandia made me buy a PSOne.

Thats the most popular opinion my friend

People complain when games get dumbed down. People complain when casual games turn into hardcore.

Developers be like "What the hell should we made"????

How are these hot takes? The GameCube praise? About as much a hot take as saying Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of Sith are good. It may have been controversial initially, not now. Because "f*** what released after that!"

And the internet LOVES to hate on Assassin's Creed and COD!
