Topic: Unpopular Gaming Opinions

@Bonbonetti you know i kind of agree, i enjoyed the game when i played it but i have no desire to go back to it now i have finished it so i uninstalled it and it because while i enjoyed it as the story unfolded the game play itself is kinda boring

@FullbringIchigo Yeah I can definitely relate to that. The story and narrative is the best thing about that game for me. The combat wasn't exciting I thought, sort of boring like you say.

@FullbringIchigo
Haha it was the other way round for me and also an unpopular opinion I guess. I thought the gameplay and combats were fantastic. The story fell kinda flat though. Sure its the depth behind it and I would rather classify it as the setting which set a great foundation for the way the franchise can go from there. But the story? Not much! i appreciate the journey and the moment to moment bits. I wouldnt say the story was fascinating though. Quite generic story.

This unpopular opinion may change, but currently, I'm not particularly enjoying Okami, which is a supposed masterpiece in the eyes of many. I've just jumped inside the mouth of the emperor to sort out the evil smoke over the city, and so far a lot of the game hasn't been that enjoyable. The celestial brush mechanic is awesome, but all of the puzzles are so easy that it takes away a lot of the excitement of using it, and that's even when you don't have Issun telling you what to do, which is the majority of the time, making him more annoying than both Navi and Fi from Zelda, which must be some kind of achievement. The combat is also very basic and always feels more like an annoyance than anything else. The dungeons so far have all been worse than any Zelda dungeon I've ever played, just basically being a boring linear path the entire time. The game does have some good bits: the music is phenomenal and the art style is gorgeous, but the plot is just too slow (with far too much talking) and the gameplay too handholdey for me to really enjoy it. Like I said, this may change later on in the game, as I don't know how much is left, but so far it really hasn't been anywhere near close to the game of the year contender many seem to praise it as.

@BranJ0 yeah I tried it back on the PS3 as it was supposed to be a substitute for zelda. Was over it rather quickly if I remember correctly. Also the whole "just keep playing it gets good after x amount of hours" threw me off as well. Glad it exists on just about every platform now for those that enjoy it but I didn't find it very appealing either.

@RogerRoger True, the Skyfall DLC was bad (well i say DLC but i have the game on Wii U and it's included on the disc in that version)

@RogerRoger what's wrong with the PS3 version?

@RogerRoger wow that sounds really bad, i wonder if the 360 version had any of those issues?

i might check as i also have it on there but i never played it (it was included in a box of games i brought off a mate)

@RogerRoger well i don't really care about Gamerscore/Trophy Level honestly although they do let you keep track of what you have done in a game which is good

@RogerRoger With regards to loading times, nothing will ever beat the unpatched version of XCOM2. I think I once timed it as over 3 minutes to load the base after completing a mission.

@Thrillho Bloodborne before the patch was a killer with the loading screens. Not as long as X Com bit they were probably more frequent.

@RogerRoger @JohnnyShoulder In true British style, I once made a cup of tea while waiting for the game to load and it was still going when I got back.

And I like my tea WELL brewed too.

@RogerRoger @Thrillho @JohnnyShoulder
The American equivalent to British tea — Pouring yourself a Coke, eating some Doritos, and then going to the bathroom. It may sound Neanderthal, but it passes the time. Sometimes we even have some Poptarts, apple pie, barbecue ribs, and watch some fireworks while we take our John Deere tractor for a spin if our pick-up truck is in the shop. Usually if the game’s not done loading by then, I’ll watch some reality TV before I go to the gym to work out with my personal trainer while I try to decide between getting a smoothie or going to McDonalds.

@Thrillho what Biscuits did you have?

Hobnobs are clearly the only correct answer.

@mookysam nah Jammie Dodgers or at a pinch Custard Creams

Bourbon biscuits! - You uncouth louts!

Hobnobs are the gaming biscuit of choice for me. The chocolate ones are even better, but they make the controller greasy, so they're a no-go sadly.

Can I put a shout-out for fig rolls? I'll see myself out......

@KALofKRYPTON Uncouth, how dare you sir!

@Gremio108 Always room for fig rolls!
