What are some of your controversial gaming opinions

[ATofix]

The legend of zelda breath of the wild ending wasnt actually as bad as people made it seem.
All you need to enjoy gaming is a nintendo switch and a good PC.
The only reason they still make black ops games are the idiots who buy them mindlessly every year.

Metroid Prime 3 was ruined by the forced controling scheme.

Would almost agree with this. Metroid Prime 3 is the only one I played on easy, only one I finished exactly once, and the only one I had to repeatedly rest because my wrist was tired. When Metroid Prime came out, the biggest concern was it'd be a FPS and not a FPA or exploration game. So, of course, the second they get the chance, they make the game a FPS.

Having said that, going back and playing Metroid Prime and Prime 2 with the wiimote/nunchuk isn't bad. Clearly it's something that takes quite a lot to get used to though. There's also at least a few places in Prime 3 where it doesn't feel like a bad thing that they used a wiimote. But it suffers the same problem Halo 1 does (haven't played any other Halo to compare): it's basically a necessity to nerf either the enemies or the targeting to compensate compared to keyboard+mouse. That rather ruins it for me from that perspective. Thankfully, it didn't seem *that* bad in Metroid Prime 3. *shrug*

I liked Metroid: The Other M

I'd almost said I liked Metroid: Other M, except there's no way I'd play through again having to watch the movies. And the forced 3rd person walking sections are terrible--the hidden object games are merely bad--and absolutely ruin the flow of the game. If there was a way to actually skip that along with the movies on even the first play through, I'd be able to overlook the terrible plot.

Microsoft should have continued to push the kinect. Only way it would have worked is if they could push a 100% install base.

And the only way to push a 100% user base would be to give it out for free. I agree Microsoft could have floated that financially but it would have taken dedication.

Games don't cost more to make*, people just choose to spend more. *barring inflation anyway.

Compared to what decade?

You'd be surprised how offended people get from that opinion on IGN. Speaking of opinions, Fire Emblem, and Shin Megami Tensei are all nothing but fan service games pandering to weebs.

Ya it is. I only like the gba fire emblem games. The newer ones in my opinion suck eggs. My brother hates the fact that I've never finished any of the newer FE games. I just don't like them
Gba for life.

Honestly I'd have to try it again. I wish they implemented a classic controlling scheme.
I was unable to stay focused, aiming at the screen at the same time. That really broke the immersion for me, and it was especially frustrating that I was unable to play the way I was used to.
If it was a game that was only a shooter on screen, I'd not complain, but combining the immersive first person gameplay to the constant FPS aiming didn't work well for me.

Imo Tales of symphonia 2 > Tales of symphonia
EDIT
BOTW and pokemon gen 1,2 and 5 are also overrated.
Also the Kingdom hearts story isnt that hard to understand at all.

 

[kingtut]

Mega man 7 and 8 are my favourite in the series.
I prefer sonic generations formula to sonic adventure formula

 

[Kioku]

Lawbreakers is infinitely better than Overwatch, just destroyed by a shitty matchmaking system.

 

[Catastrophic]

I would love for Nintendo to become a 3rd party developer. Bring in those PC ports of Mario and Zelda boios

Many aspects of gaming culture and communities are obnoxious and immature.

Not so controversial as much as it's literally a fact.

 

[Enryx25]

BOTW is a great game but not a masterpiece. GOTY is right though.
Twilight Princess is one of the worst Zelda games.

Animal Crossing is boring.
Smash is boring.

Super Metroid is a bit overrated. IMO Fusion is better.

Persona 5 is a masterpiece but a weak Persona game.

Microsoft should stop selling XONEs. (PC games can stay)

Monster Hunter sucks.

The Last of Us plot is one of the worst things I've ever seen.

Pokemon SM are the worst mainline games.

 

[Pakhitew-Island]

No Pokemon 3DS game is very good, and I'd say XY (especially) and Sun and Moon are actually bad. I wouldnt even put any Gen 6 or 7 game over GSC. Though I'm cheating with USUM because I didnt even finish it. The franchise is probably done for me.

Tactics A2 is unquestionably the best Final Fantasy Tactics game.

The NSMB games are really fun and pretty equal to Super Mario World. Except NSMB2 which is definitely the weakest 2d platfomer in mario.

Mario Kart Wii>Double Dash, which sucks.

Sony doesnt deserve it's PS4 sales as they pretty much sold it on hype for about 2 years before actually getting any games.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

also the sjw boogeman is one of the most annoying parts of gamer culture

That's what we need... A FF Tactics collection...

from the bottom of my heart i think PUBG is the biggest piece of s*** i've ever see, and being nominated to Game Awards was outrageous
4k gaming its not a big deal
botw is great, but not a 10/10 game, 8/10 is more fair
i acctually like the nintendo wiiu, for me its not a fail at all, has a lot of fun games, besides the gamepad aweful battery life
the gamecube is an underrated console
i dont like mario galaxy..... for real
neither pokemon xd gale of darkness
stardew valley is a master piece
i miss the "DLC-less" times
ps4 fanboys are the worst

the over exposure of geek and gaming cuture is bad, people are immature and do not know how to differentiate consume and like something

PUBG is overhyped garbage. The overall experience has improved with 1.0... But there's still so much wrong with it.

oh you have so much more to see

 

[Zabhahs]

Brawl is the most fun smash game.
Halo Reach is a good game that didnt ruin halo
pokemon gen 4 was the perfect balance of gameplay and new features
dark souls isnt that good
metal gear games are ok and kojima isnt a genius of some sort

Sonic Generations > Sonic Adventure 1 and 2

 

[RustInPeace]

I don't really pay attention to many general opinions, but there's one I'm kind of aware of. Starfox Adventures sucking or being very divisive. That was the very first Gamecube game I played, in fact I played that before Star Fox 64, and I never played the other ones, thus it's my first Star Fox game. So, nostalgia? I did play it in 2003, so that's in the nostalgia window. I liked it a lot, I loved the combat, I played with my sisters, so we had fun with the story and cutscenes. It still holds up, I think it's a solid game, even if the Andross reveal was shoehorned. One of the hardest video game challenges for me was in SFA, the Lightfoot test of strength challenge. My button mashing wasn't up to snuff, and the first time I did it, was with my best friend at the time, we alternated as tables. On all fours, one would be the table as the other would set the control on them, mash the A button like mad. It worked! I can't remember for sure if I was the table or he was. So, just lovely memories from that cloud my judgement. Similar to some otherwise average 3D Sonic games. Heroes, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Sonic Adventure DX and 2 Battle on Gamecube, even Shadow the Hedgehog. Hell, I want to play Shadow the Hedgehog again since learning some time ago that the voice of the main bad guy also voiced Goku, Sean Schemmel.

Final Fantasy VII was... Horrible to put it politely.
