Topic: Unpopular Gaming Opinions

@FullbringIchigo There was no card on the system so when he input the card details he wasnt asked for the password. Bear in mind this was 6/7 years ago.

@KALofKRYPTON Absolutely it was our responsibility for him having access to my wifes bag. The truth is that was the last thing we expected to happen, creeping in and swiping card details for a computer game he was playing in the morning. And boy did he realise that when we found out. The systems in place now are better but still not perfect bear in mind this was around 2012 or so and the My club section of Fifa had only started so I cant really compare this to todays issues of the same nature. I questioned EA on how they could allow £150 worth of micros in such a short window and also my wifes bank as it was my wifes card with zero history of related transactions, both important points and there should be a limit for these transactions within game - similar to whats happened to roulette games in gambling shops. But there isnt. Whats also important is that Apple set aside millions of pounds to compensate parents who had succumb to similar situations when the security in place was inadequate. The compensation would have gone to generally normal families. Its different now of course but I dont think its as simple as blaming parents when most parents are actually caring and considerate parents. If a kid spends £700 on fortnite something else is as play. Thats a significant amount of money for the average household and as most fortnite players are kids should have additional safeguards in place.

@Rudy_Manchego Thanks bro Im not offended in the slightest. Back then you had zero consumer rights. The whole situation has made me super aware of that side of the industry going as far as writing emails and hand written letters to publishers, starting petitions online and even got kids charities involved. There was literally no protection. Its changed a bit, I would go further especially on games for under 15s - limit micros to £20 a day, have a few days grace (similar to paying be cheque) so out of character gaming related payments within games can be challenged and noticed by parents etc.

@Kyroki still hammering Smite?

Lovely! Where do I start!

• I detest Japanese games and JRPG's and anime etc. Does nothing for me whatsoever.
• I detest turn-based combat. What's the point? Who would stand still and let their enemy have a free shot at killing them?? So unrealistic
• I hate FPS's mainly because I'm awful at them. Never played CoD before.
• I'm getting really bored of the genre of games that get released because they are all the same! They feature either zombies, military, futuristic or fantasy. The reason why I enjoy GTA is because it's actually set in a world that I can kind of recognise, with clothes I may wear and buildings I way drive past. I want more modern set games please.
• I think games need to be getting shorter not longer. If a game is going to take me 100 hours to complete, I can't be bothered. I like quality over quantity.
• I like 8-bit indie games on the PS4 (not all of them).
• I hate playing games online.
• I like FIFA, but hate FUT. There should be more 'arcade' sports games like Super Mega Baseball. Why can't someone do a port of Sensible Soccer on playstation?
• I can't stand QTE games like Quantic Dream games and Life is Strange, Telltale etc. That's not a game.
• I have so far not enjoyed The Witcher 3 or MGSV. Don't get me started on Bloodborne.

I just realised that was pretty much all negative! haha

@tomassi So you don't like games then?

@ApostateMage Haha, it would appear so! I'm selling my PS4 now I've realised!!!

Seriously though, there are many games I enjoy, but the trouble is I don't really get much time to play them so I never get invested into a game enough. A lot of the time I can barely remember the controls next time I play it!! Maybe that's my problem. Still, you will never get me liking Japanese games and all those annoying spiky hair protagonists!!

God of War games are seriously overrated, including the last one, but the original trilogy much more.

Xbox UI is much better than PS4 UI.

PES18 is better than FIFA18.

Can't remember any more now.

@tomassi QUICK! everyone send him pictures of spiky haired protagonists

@NecuVise "PES18 is better than FIFA18."

Pes 18 is a true return to form on the pitch since the glory days of pes 2-6 13 years ago. So I can get behind that. I just wish the AI tackled more as you never get free kicks.

Horizon was one of the most over rated games of all time

@FullbringIchigo

Come on man, way to ruin my morning!!!

@themcnoisy on the pitch pes 18 rules. Everything else fifa kills it.

@tomassi sorry but it was too easy of a target not too

@FullbringIchigo haha. Next up you'll be ruining my lunch by posting pics from Final Fantasy or something!

@tomassi

@FullbringIchigo ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Get it away from me!!!!!

@tomassi

@JohnnyShoulder isn't that what matters, after all? Fifa is just too slow and that's not fun. This leads me to another unpopular opinion:

Realism in games is overrated! People don't realize that realism doesn't equal fun. In some games realism works but in most it doesn't.

@NecuVise Yeah that is why i went back to pes few years back as they messed around with the player movement in Fifa too much one year and it felt totally wrong.

I think originality can be seen as the holy grail by some when really it is not. Sure it is important to have new stuff but that doesn't always mean the game will be good. Sequels have a place in the industry too and as long as they are fun that is what generally should matter.

@JohnnyShoulder I played a demo of FIFA18 today, so I went to what's new section and realized it's the same old stuff they market every few years, like all new dribbling system, improved player movement so Ronaldo Messi etc will be lifelike, improved control on passing etc. I think I've seen this in at least two other fifa games in the last five years have you or anyone else realized this?

@FullbringIchigo makes me feel sick. Look at them. I mean, how can anyone be on board with THAT?!!
