Dragon Ball GT Final Bout & Ultimate Battle 22... the US of FB version is mainly for the scalper collector. They have got to be the stiffest fighters I've ever had my hands on. Mainly for the hardcore fans. Budokai is much better IMO.

You obviously haven't had any run-ins with Final Fantasy fanboys (or any Japanese RPG fans for that matter).

Find me one person who disagrees that the PS1 DB games released in America are bad...

Metal Gear Solid 2 was a great game, even with Raiden(whom I loved)

Final Fantasy VII is extremely overrated and one of the worst in the series

Strategy games SUCK

Which are the same adolescents that claim the Gamecube is for "kids".

- RPGs don't take any skill, just a lot of time.

- FF and any RPGs with random battles are lame

- The PS and PS2 controllers aren't good

- SSB:M gets old quick

- Fighting games in general are only good if you play multiplayer

- The MGS games are horrible (although this doesn't seem to be that unpopular, based on this thread)

- Castlevania II: Simon's Quest is great

- Games nowadays need to be harder (this might not be unpopular...)

Expensive cutscenes and CGI effects don't woo me. Using the in-game engine does.

"Real-time Strategy" games have a lot of the former, but very little of the latter.

Another very good one that I agree with.

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.
No hassle... you can like or dislike whatever you want - it's just that your arguments are weak (IMO). It seems like you're just saying it to get a rise out of people by being controversial. I believe fumanstan when he says it's overrated. I just don't believe you when you say it - "it's overrated, overrated, lame, 1 year old baby designed it, boring, and Vietcong is better." I just don't buy it. I'm guessing you didn't play it - at least not all the way through - I'm guessing you pushed the radioactive thing into the machine and then the lab blew up and you walked back to where you came in and the first headcrab killed you - so you quit... plus, you didn't play it until a year or two ago and you played it on the PS2 instead of the PC. That's just my guess - perhaps none of that is true. In any case - don't take it personally, I was just ribbing you with the vietcong comment - I don't care if you like Half Life or not.

MMORPGs are excruciatingly shallow.

Videogames should not have story lines. If it's possible to skip cutscenes, dialogue, mission briefings, etc. I will do it in a heartbeat.

I'm playing a video game to PLAY, not to read.

I don't skip all cutscenes, but I should definitely have the option to skip every one.

Here's mine: NFL FEVER 2004.

My unpopular opinion is that Fever04 is a good game.

I'm hooked on the read-n-lead passing. I love the way that it's implemented in this game. I also like the way the RB's run. Just because it's not as polished as ESPN, or is not called Madden everyone seems to dump on it.

depends on the skill level.

Korea has taken RTS games to an extreme, and there are professional players, televised events, and huge crowds watching. Strategy making, and countering is all that matters.

Warcraft 3 is the exception. They made the game very vanilla in an attempt to lure diablo players into playing WC3 as well.

Oh no doubt - they have everything down to keyboard shortcut science. It's nuts watching them play.

Virtua Fighter 4 was a boring fighter game.

No, I got HL in 2000 and thats when I moved to a new place. I got it for the PC. I beat the game but nothing seemed interesting or complex in the story but people told me how interesting and complex the story is but it really felt llike an average FPS and I'v read reviews and been told how unique HL is but still felt like an average FPS for me as most FPS games out there, do a few puzzles here and there, kill aliens, escape from the infested research center with marines and black ops on ur ass, jump here and there, collect ammo here and there. My arguments are strong if I only typed out a short story. I could say the same thing that your arguments are weak for vietcong because it seems you didnt know how to find the enemy sniper on the first level and you always died so you quit. Please go through HL again and follow story this time then come back and tell me how awsome it is cause I beg to differ. However, the expansion pack Opposing Force was fun. having marines at your back was alot of fun when you got into fire fights with black ops and even more fun when theres aliens. it was cool to have a medic heal you when needed, the engineer also was cool when he torched the door for you and 1 of the main reasons why I like OF more then HL because HL is too slowed paced compared to OF and HL tries to be story driven but it failed in that in my book. I'm not too interested in games where theres aliens or futureistic looking things. Opposing Force has to be my fav game that contains aliens. I still don't see how you think my arguments are weak?. So, please explain. Also, explain why you like HL so much? because you defend this game like its god so I really want to know whats so special about HL singleplayer then all the other games out there?. I hate HL singleplayer with a passion and for me too explain the whole story for you, I would be able to write a full book about it.

BTW, vietcong isnt my favorite game for PC if you were wondering. My fav game for PC is Mafia which came out last year and I believe it will be my fav PC game for a while. So do you want to know anything else while I'm at it?.

Added: Oh ya, I like the Doom series and cant wait for Doom3 and I also like Duke Nukem and the Wolfenstein series and those games contain aliens but in order for me to explain why I like those games and not HL would be another book.
