Topic: Unpopular Gaming Opinions

@FullbringIchigo I dunno, G/S/C are still really fun to me but HG/SS are the better games. Red and Blue though, they’re borderline unplayable. Some of the bugs are actually so stupid you wonder how they got past the testers. Sabrina is really hard for no reason because there’s a bug where Psychic types are immune to Ghost moves, where it would normally be super effective. The game even encourages you to catch Ghost types despite this.

@nessisonett fun fact my batteries in Gold and Silver are dead so all my game data from those games are now lost

@FullbringIchigo That’s not a fun fact. RIP those Pokemon who are effectively dead 😭😭

@nessisonett yeah i know, Gold and Silver were actually my first Pokemon games R.I.P my poor Sparky (it's what i called my Pikachu)

Unpopular Opinion: i think the original Resident Evil 2 is better than the remake, the remake looks amazing but i still have more fun on the OG version

It's okay for a grown up man playing Kiddie or Girlie games.

@Anti-Matter maybe this is something for you?

@jdv95
Hm...
I will check more information about that game.

@FullbringIchigo Ooh, that’s a good one, they’re both very different games to be honest. I couldn’t possibly pick because I like both classic Resi gameplay and the more 3rd person shooter elements in the remake. I like a lot of the changes, I know not everyone liked Mr X but I found him really tense and it made the police station feel extremely unsafe even if you’d cleared most of the rooms. The sewers and city were disappointing compared to the original however. It’s a good one to debate for sure.

1. Para Para Paradise by Konami is more interesting than Just Dance by Ubisoft.

2. Gitadora by Konami is far more interesting than Guitar Hero / Rock Band.

3. I prefer not so popular games but still appropriate for kids / teen than typical AAA Western 3rd party games that mostly rated 18+ games.

The Vita is better than the 3DS and the Switch.

Nintendo is overrated.

@Jessiex I know it says unpopular opinions but surely there’s a line 😉

@Jessiex idk about Nintendo being overrated but I do prefer the Vita to 3DS and Switch. It’s still the coolest little piece of hardware...

I never had the chance to get a Vita. It looks very cool though.

@Jessiex If you don’t own a Vita then how do you know it’s better than the 3DS and Switch? I do love my Vita for ports and Persona but it just doesn’t have the exclusives. The 3DS has an insane library and while I’m not massively keen on my Switch, it still has some of the most critically acclaimed games this generation.

I like my Vita more than my PS4, but I prefer the Switch and 3DS more than either of them.

Vita had amazing support very early on, but that dried up quickly, all of its exclusives are playable on other devices now, and it never received good JRPG support. It used to be a good portable device for playing indie games, but the Switch has fully inherited that legacy. Still, it's the machine that introduced me to Danganronpa, Corpse Party, and Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, so it'll always have a place in my heart and on my shelf.

The PS4 is easily the best all-around device this gen, but for a person who owns multiple platforms and who is pretty unexcited by the sort of realistic and "cinematic" experiences modern Sony excels at developing, it's underwhelming. I love Playstation's trophy system, but my PC plays games at higher framerates and with more control options, and my Switch allows me to play games on and off the TV (before anyone mentions remote play - I've tried it, and it just doesn't work well for me. Not even when I'm in the same room with the PS4).

The 3DS has one of the best console libraries I've ever seen. It's in my top three all time consoles list, right behind PS1 and PS2.

The Switch... well, it can be very strong or very unappealing, depending on your preferences. I love most of its exclusive games and am more of a handheld gamer at heart, so I really adore the thing, but I could see why someone might find it underwhelming.

At the end of the day, though, this talk of preferentialism mostly doesn't matter. I buy multiple platforms because games matter much more to me than corporate loyalism. As long as Sony and Nintendo keep putting out games I'm deeply excited to play, I'll keep buying their newest platforms.

And I'll do the same with Microsoft if they ever decide to create worthwhile exclusives again.

@nessisonett because I've played it and it's Sony. It's quality.

@Arugula Okay.... I’ll take the bait. 😄

That Sony only publishes third person action adventure games is actually way overblown.
Yes, their key products are of the same or a similar genre: Spider-Man, HZD, GoW, Days Gone, Infamous SS, The Order 1886, Uncharted, etc.

But everyone forgets about all their other diverse games, the pinnacle being Dreams - the most innovative project this generation, I’d wager. Others: Concrete Genie, Death Stranding, Tetris Effect, Gravity Rush 2, The Show, Erica, The Unfinished Swan, Killzone, Tearaway, Medievil, Wipeout Omega, Ratchet & Clank, Knack 1 & 2 ...
...And don’t forget about Until Dawn, Bloodborne, The Last Guardian, Shadow of the Collosus, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, Detroit Become Human....
....And we don’t know what TLoU2 and GoT are going to be yet, and something tells me they are going to push existing boundaries quite a bit, especially TLoU2.
....And I can’t even begin to list all the VR stuff they have published or backed. All of which is extremely innovative and hardly “samey” with their other big titles. They are completely in a class by themselves in the console space with all the VR content. (Well, sorry, I guess Switch has a functional VR. I don’t want to start that debate up again). But the point is, I think people remember all the glory days of “Sony loves indies” or whatever the moniker was in the PS2 or PS3 era. Yes, they cut support for the indie developers and they have produced and developed more big budget AAA titles that all have the strength of gritty, photo-realistic, story-driven, third-person action games, but it’s hardly all they have done. They have produced platformers, bright and artistic games, puzzle games, arguably the industry’s best sports game, horror games, experimental games, remasters, sequels, new IP’s,....
I see them trying to stay diverse, but no one is buying their more radical and unconventional stuff. The more people don’t buy and support Concrete Genie, Dreams, Tearaway, Gravity Rush, The Last Guardian... then the more Spider-Man, Uncharted, and God of War we’re going to get. Not that those are bad games, but they sell and get all the publicity.

Edit: And I do realize that some of the games I listed are not Sony first party studios, but they are all Sony published, I think. And I apologize if I come across as trying to invalidate your opinion because I just realized I’m in the “Unpopular Opinions” thread 😂, and we agreed not to argue about someone’s wayward opinion on here so all can feel free to say what they want. Certainly I’ve heard people say they want more diversity from Sony and I can’t argue that it would not be a good thing if Sony did branch out even more next generation.

1. Monster Rancher 4 PS2 Battle System is far more interesting than Pokemon Battle System despite i like those both IP.

2. Ratchet and Clank games are felt easier than 3D platformer Mario. There are some levels on 3D Mario games that really hard and made you just only one time visiting and never visiting that level anymore after you cleared that level.

3. Old Bomberman games by Hudson Soft are far better than Super Bomberman R by Konami.

Unpopular Opinion :The Last Of Us is good but it's not a master piece which most would have you believe It is.
