What are your unpopular video game opinions? I'll go first. The Metal Gear games are highly overrated.

vd0man

Ok, here goes: Random battles and/or respawning enemies are just lazy game design.

I agree with both RyoHazuki7 and vd0man. Here's another one: Most fighting games are broken crap. Who came up with the dumb idea that controller motions like up, left, left, button button were a good idea? That's not good gameplay IMO. I love how people call these fighting games "deep," but I don't see what's so "deep" about blistering your hands on a control pad because of an insane and archaic control scheme that never should've been invented in the first place. Most wrestling games have one-button moves and a huge variety of them, so why must fighters be stuck in the past?

The GTA series sucks. Boring missions, lack luster graphics, open ended gameplay gets tedious fast IMO.

Unpopular on this forum:

I game on my PC.
I enjoy non-linear RPG's.

I think Metroid is just a First Person Shooter
I think Gamecube's main target audience is young children (or 'families' if you like)
I think console gaming in general is not as good as PC gaming
I think what most people consider Adventure games are nothing more than console platformers.
I don't think Metal Gear is a good series
I think Timesplitters 2 is the worst FPS that ever went gold.
I think Soul Calibur 1 and 2 are lame - same goes for Virtua Fighter and Street Fighter.


btw - I thought we did this thread a month or two ago

I think Half-Life is highly overrated and HL's story is highly overrated. The gameplay was way too slow, the story was very basic and lame that a 1 year old can come up with and I believe HL2 will be the same boring thing all over again.

Gamecube's main target audience being children is not an opinion, it's a fact.

mr.snowmizer

Why would this be an unpopular opinion?

Lethal Nemesis

Counter-Strike isn't as good as people make it out to be.

Trigger

You're right - Vietcong is much more deep and creative.

Trigger

<small>shhh... don't tell the GCN fanboys or else they'll make us eat Xbox controllers</small>

Knights of the Old Republic is boring.

Many so-called "Mature" games are actually aimed squarely at adolescents.

Online gaming is overrated...

darkside

Video Games Suck.

Is that unpopular enough for ya.

sniper308

Man, I think that about covers it for this thread...

Trigger

Too bad this is the "official" thread, otherwise we could just start a new one and pretend that never happened.

Copenhagen

Maybe a 1&O thread

edytwinky

I wouldn't care if Halo 2 was postponed for eternity

KillaBeez

Whats with the remarks?. Do you hate the fact that I dont like the game (HL) that you have reply with your smart ass remarks?. Why do you stick up for this game (HL) so much?. You saw this thread so you mustve saw my comments from a mile away. I love the Metal Gear Solid series but you dont see me hassleing you just because you dont like it. Give it a break man and respect other peoples opinions.

LOL! Best post of the week right here!

Final Fantasy VII sucks, I tried to play this turd, not once, but twice! Both times, I got bored somewhere in Disc 1.... I have never been so bored with an RPG (I played Beyond the Beyond longer than FF7).

Actually, I think most FF are overrated, including the vaunted 6 which I finished (but bored in the process). And I enjoy RPGs, I have played through the Phantasy Star series, the Lunar series, etc etc etc.

fumanstan

I think Half Life was overrated too.

Goldeneye is a crappy first person shooter compared to anything and everything on the PC during that time. Halo is similar today.

Online RPGs suck.
