What are some of your UNpopular video game opinions? (real ones, not just ones for the sake of trolling or something)

[ookii_risu | 206]

Just came on here to vent more frustrations about Odyssey. TOO MANY MOONS! I don't necessarily sneer at every attempt to artificially extend gameplay, but this is ridiculous. So why do I continue to play it? I feel like it's now my job to get the 500 moons and see what happens. This reminds me of when I played Spiderman 2 for PS2 and I was told I needed to achieve a certain number of fights or rescues or something like that (forget, it's been so long), and then after going through all of that was told that it doesn't change anything and I get nothing for my effort. Utter BS.

No way my NES is ever going to have graphics from that overrated game. I'd rather have/look at that beat up NES any day. I'm dead friggin' serious.

That sounds like me if I had to pick between the beat up one or a SMB 3 custom console. While I'm at it I'll add that SMB 3 is even more overrated than Mega Man 2.

 @Sumez The reason I don't like X3 is simply because it isn't as good as the other 2. I got my hopes up after playing X, which was awesome, X2, which was even better imo, and then X3. It isn't a bad game but it's definitely the weakest of the 3 and quite disappointing to say the least. The music is bland, enemies are constantly recycled, levels drag on, and it just doesn't seem as polished. Like there are big empty spaces in every level that seem to exist just for the sake of existing. But ignoring X3, the X trilogy is

Just out of curiosity, do you feel the same way about the PS1, Saturn, PC, and X Collection versions of Mega Man X3?

SMB3 is overrated, agree. I don't get why SMB2 gets so much flak. I think it's the best one of the NES series.

Buncha damn haters in this thread!

 

 

Well, I guess that's kinda the point.  I'll show myself out.

I thought that Kid Icarus was better than Metroid after finishing both games.

The X series can stay stuck in the 90s. The original series is way better.

This is true but I fuck with it just bc they're so different than the original series. I know they get a lot of justified hate, but I've always enjoy em.

They are completely different, so maybe that's why I never could get into them.

The Star Tropics games control like crap.

smb3 is the most overrated game and the greatest game of all time.

I’d give my left nu- well, not that, but I’d give my left something for them to make Kid Icarus a regular franchise. Controls aside, the characters and presentation of the 3DS reboot were some of the best on the system IMO. I also love the NES original. Haven’t gotten far in the Game Boy one.

I'd love to hear that character announcement.  The collective gnashing of teeth on reddit and YouTube would probably cause the entire internet to sink into itself.

"WHO?!  WHERES WALUIGI AND WALUIPEACH AND WALUIONKEY KONG!!!?????"

Ever since you posted this I've been haunted by what a "Waluionkey Kong" (Wonkey Kong?) would even look like. I find the modern Donkey Kong design unappealing as-is, so I couldn't help but combine it with Wario/Waluigi to make something even worse than the sum of its parts haha.

Here's another unpopular opinion (especially since it is GameCube related):

I like the GameCube version of Mega Man Anniversary Collection more than the PS2 version, for several reasons:

1.Loading times, in most cases, are noticeably faster. Mega Man 1, for example, loads up in 13 seconds in the PS2 version, and only 6 seconds in the GameCube version.

2.Mega Man 1-6 are in full-screen in the GameCube version, while the PS2 version appears to display them in a pillar-box mode with large black bars that are noticeable even on a small CRT TV.

3.When you open up the options menu in Mega Man 1-6, the text boxes that appear after choosing an option have multiple blues in the GameCube version like in Rockman Complete Works for PS1. For some reason, they changed them to a single light blue color for the PS2 version.

4.The sound effects in Mega Man: The Power Battle and Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters are crisp and clear in the GameCube version, and sound more like the Arcade versions (keep in mind that MMAC has the CPS1 version of Power Battle). In the PS2 version, several of the sound effects in these two games are muffled.

5.The Interview video is far superior to the Cartoon episode.

6.I never had a problem with the reversed jump and shoot controls. Metroid Prime is the same way, even when playing NES Metroid.

7.People may not care about Manuals a whole lot, but I like that the GameCube version has full-color Manual.

@ookii_risu @glazball imo some people say smb3 is the greatest/thier favorite nes game/game of all time without much referance (what would a mother say her favorite video game is?) and its due to the clout the game holds with others.

[The King | 23]

GoldenEye on N64 is awful.

[NESfiend | 1,515]

A few of my favorite nes games no one likes or don't seem to get much positive attention 

American Gladiators

Rocketeer 

Star Wars

Heavy shreddin

Dusty Diamond

[Ninja Warriors | 86]

Not a fan of Ken Griffey Jr. Winning Runs on snes.  Expected a much better game

 

Loved the the original Ken Griffey Jr Presents Major League Baseball (outside of some Home Run starts being lost after the all-star break during season mode).  I must have played thru 50 seasons of games back in the day.

Dusty Diamond's a blast. Just a quirky little softball game.

I kind of like The Rocketeer. It's a decent platformer, better than many movie-based games of that era.

Star Wars is cool, but DAMN hard. The freakin' maze levels in the Death Star especially, and the asteroid field. I also like the super weird Namco Famicom version.

I definitely used a guide first couple times for it. It was actually among the first games I played when I discovered online guides. Couldn't get out of tattooine as a kid. Once you know where to go, its a fair and rewarding playthrough in a half hour or so. 

I played through empire for the first time this year. Same way. Although longer and more difficult. Once you know what to do, theres plenty of challenge in executing to make it fun and rewarding. Im surprised the nes star wars games get no attention. If nothing else, its freaking star wars

Doesn't the PS2 one suffer pretty badly from input lag? That should be a dealbreaker for a game like this.

Persona games are 5 times too long.
