Topic: Unpopular Gaming Opinions

@Ryall Some games are ok with that line of thinking but some series just fall flat. The Trails games are so much better played in order for example. I’d say the Yakuza games are better in order too.

@Ryall I know two of my favourite games of all time are Mass Effect 2 and The Witcher 3 and I didn’t play preceding games in either series (mainly because they weren’t on PlayStation consoles at the time).

1. Wii "shovelware" games are still far better than any rated 18+ games.

2. Girlie games (Imagine series, Cooking Mama, Fashion games, etc) are billion times better than any Western AAA 3rd party games.

3. I would like to have kiddie looking gaming devices with White color and some fancy designed by me rather than a Black color gaming devices with adult and edgy looking that i always hate. I want to make a statement that i am an adult but very confident to be kiddie in public.

@Anti-Matter I do enjoy a bit of New Style Boutique at times but I just couldn’t be swayed that Ninjabread Man is better than Red Dead Redemption 2. The thread is unpopular opinions, not sheer madness 😂😂😂

@nessisonett
Just remember i play and do the opposite as typical adult male gamers.
Just like my statement from my unpopular opinions.

@Anti-Matter What if a game is M-rated, but it's a Wiiware-esque shovelware minigame collection where shirtless musclemen engage in various sorts of cooking and gardening activities?

@nessisonett Man, it's pretty hardcore when your pecs are so beefy that you end up wearing a bra to support them.

@Ralizah
Doesn't matter the contents inside, if already rated Mature / 18+ = Banned.
Put something i adore (Chibi, Cute, Six pack, Quirky, etc) inside the hatred things just only multiply my hatred toward those cursed rated 18+ games
Age rating is the one thing i will judge first before accepting the games.

Unpopular Opinion: a linear story driven experience is better than a large open world full of fetch quests

@FullbringIchigo Or in the case of Final Fantasy VII remake, a linear story experience filled with fetch quests 😉

@FullbringIchigo I largely agree, but I started playing Fallout 76, and I've found what makes large open world games full of fetch quests fun is coop. That's my unpopular opinion, Fallout 76 is good and open world fetch quest games in 2020 need coop.

Hugely unpopular opinion - Nowadays, most western RPGs are much better than JRPGs.

@ApostateMage

I'd probably concur, I love both types of RPG but do feel that JRPG's haven't really moved on much in terms of graphics & customisation etc, many of the game worlds have very similar small/linear structured areas that you constantly have to back track over to grind & level up, so it doesn't always feel like you're getting anywhere fast or have the option to just go off and explore the world/map etc, plus the fact that 99% of lead characters always seem to be some spiky haired teen moppet (a bit of variety now & again would be nice).

Definitely could do with some more games like Dragon's Dogma coming out of Japan, although I guess they then risk alienating their home audience perhaps if they're not keen on playing that type of RPG.

@ApostateMage I would agree, FFVII Remake is the first JRPG I've really enjoyed this gen.

@ApostateMage Really not sure that's hugely unpopular to be honest, you'd probably find more fans of games like The Witcher and Skyrim than you would Persona and Trails of Cold Steel.

Both Mario Kart and Modnation Racers are billion times more interesting than any realistic driving games without items to smack onto opponents. Realistic driving games are really boring....

@Anti-Matter While I do think chucking bananas in Gran Turismo would be hilarious, the point of these simulation games is to get as close as possible to real driving. You might find it boring but the skill ceiling is high to encourage proper competition at a high level of play.

@nessisonett
Real driving is boring as hell.
No hilarious gameplay = no playing.
I play for whimsical things, not for a serious simulation to do something.
I will never want to join in any realistic driving games competition no matter how big is the prizes.
Sign me in for whimsical Kart games like Mario Kart or MySims Racing.

I don't drive car.
Not even have any interest to own a car.
Don't care at all if i cannot drive a car.
My life is much better without thinking about cars.
I ride mount bike instead.
No air pollution.
No thinking about gasoline.
Just only about my energy and my legs.
