Very much agree- particularly when it serves the narrative. (for example, making you do the mundane tasks in Control, when the character is trapped a fugue state, to make you feel as ineffectual as she feels at that point... ...or having you feel exhausted by a game to mirror the characters and to punctuate the point, (Last of Us Part II's post-farmhouse stuff!) Unpopular Opinion: Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin is the best entry in that mighty trilogy! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest haven't played. I like Mafia III. And I really don't know why everyone I saw said it's crap. Repetitive? Kinda, yeah. But I find most open world games are nowadays.

You’d think it’s for children, but it seems ridiculously popular with adults. Like slightly sexualized graphics but weird in that the young gals have giant eyes, horns coming out of their heads, etc. I guess whatever floats your boat, lol. Fully agree. I understand a little bit of retro fun or nostalgia here and there but it’s gone overboard with the indie shovelware (not true shovelware but not real gaming for the current year) that gets released. I’ll take the unpopular opinion one step further. 95% of Indie games are a chore to get through. Point and click, clunky and shallow gameplay, bad visuals, no immersion, etc I mean it’s nice so you can make a game and it takes talent to do but…. It’s a shame because there are some great ones but they tend to get lost in the deluge. Edited October 12, 2023 by djb5f 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree - I like all game types from one-man-band indies to Multi-million dollar AAA's, but I find there is far less interesting games - and far fewer novel concepts - to be found in the latter than the former! Unpopular Opinion: The Lara Croft games (The Guardian of Light and The Temple of Osiris) are better than any of the mainline Tomb Raider games. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majob Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 (edited) If you're button mashing in a fighting game, odds are you're simply just not good at them but that's just my take Zelda games are overrated. Nintendo games in general are overrated. They're good no doubt but people put them on a pedestal they don't deserve. Edit: just to clarify, I'm not saying that Nintendo games aren't great, they are, it's just that I feel many get praised as "THE BEST EVAR!" when that isn't the case. But I'm also speaking as someone who grew up as a Sega fanboy Edited October 13, 2023 by majob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been playing The Ascent which I actually think is a great indie but then some of the stuff I see people suggest is great just sucks badly.

Thinking games like Destiny/Overwatch/BR games/multiplier only games or games with a huge RNG presence. UO: Speedrun trophies are fun, especially in linear games. I actually love going for them - learning ins/outs of different levels and tricks on how to bypass enemies without using extra resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah 100% agree, when people say that whatever walking sim is bad because "it's not a real game" just muddies the water and distracts from any of the actual flaws the game may have.

Ashande Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Agree. (I’d actually say it’s better than all of them except the original, personally.) Sometimes studio interference or demands can be a good thing, and result in a better game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke_Ryle Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Agreed. The word "sometimes" makes it hard to disagree with that. However, I can't think of an example off the top of my head to back that up. Below is an example of when it was not a good thing for a game. Unpopular Opinion: Dragon Age II is the best Dragon Age game in the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
