Your Unpopular Opinion: Gaming Edition

Post an opinion, about games, that you subscribe to, which, to your mind, is not widely shared or popular with the vast majority.

mariokart 64 was better than the original.

Second.

Following along the same line...

The Wii edition is the best version of Mario Kart yet made.

GTA4 was a bit shit...not a bad game, but the essence of a game being more of the same, but a bit more shiney.

Final Fantasy 8 is dog poo.

Thats a very popular opinion outside of female gamers.

I dunno, I expect KDL likes it, at least more than the ones I like.

Well he'll like it more than FF7...cause you know...everyone likes FF7.

Read this.

I doubt any of this is unpopular opinion, but all that shit still happens, so I'm sticking it in here and asking for your opinions. So here goes...

What are your opinions on this list?

the only things there that really bother me are:

Quote :

almost as bad as when you ...

Force us to watch cutscenes repeatedly.

...If you have placed your cutscene right before a spot where we're likely to die, and given us no ability to save after it, then you deserve a beating.

Quote :

Escort missions.

So you've spent the first half of the game accumulating weapons and hit points and turning yourself into a zombie-killing machine. How does the game reward you? By forcing you to escort a completely helpless and unarmed dumbass through the war zone, and making so that you instantly lose if they get a scratch on them.

No one has ever liked an escort mission, ever, in the history of gaming. So why do they still exist?

and the entirety of #2 (Thou shalt make sure your game actually works.)

few of the points made in #4 (Thou shalt make killing fun.) made any sense. gordon freeman was thrown a crowbar in half-life 2 because that's his trademark item and resident evil makes you run out of shotgun shells and use the handgun because management of ammo is a key part of the game. you might as well have a go at FIFA because there are too many footballs and not enough zombies or chainsaw guns.

The thing about not showing enemies actually taking damage pisses me off. Especially in Oblivion, there's absolutely no sense of connection with your environment at all when you're running around slapping ragdolls in the face.

Fallout does it too, but way less. I have exploded heads.

What RPG's, if any, do you like, BB? If EVE counts as one, then we'll take that as a given.

Suikoden series, vandal hearts, wild arms 1.

TUT.

people who hate final fantasyz are generally the people who are shit at them.

Erm, there aren't many RPG's you have to be 'good' at...just persistent.

I can't fucking stand FF8.

Jeez, I hate all of Final Fantasy.

I prefer the old 'bird's eye view' GTA games to the newer ones.

You must be all for Chinatown Wars then?

Here's one:

Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn is the best RPG there has ever been.
