Unpopular Opinion and Discussion thread

Depends.

Do you see it simply as a fun game to waste some time?
As the best gaming experience that was ever created?
Or as the epidome of Role Playing Games?

Not all of those opinions are shared on this side equally.

Seriously though, I had a very difficult time coming up with things to like about the prequels.

Fun game to play. Definitely never considered it the epitome of RPGs, though.

 

In terms of plot points, yes it was spot on, but they fucked up almost all of the characters.
Especially Eddard, Catelyn and Sansa

 

Ok my turn...

-Saying something isn't an RPG because it doesn't meet your personal requirements of an RPG is silly
-Planescape Torment is overrated, its a fine well told game with some really interesting story/rpg ideas but mechanically fails
-Frictional is an overrated and kinda sub par horror dev. Their games have good story's and exploration but fail as horror games.
-Bioshock is fine, good even but did not deserve the praise it got. I wanted system shock 3 dammit.
-deadspace did what bioshock was trying to do (be system shock 3) but but better
-Dark Souls games are good but git gud is an idiotic excuse to defend the games flaws (because all of them have their flaws)
-DOOM 4 is better than DOOM 1-2
-Mass Effect games are great games and RPGs.
-Fallout 3 and 4 are good games, but the criticism of dumbing down and poor writing are valid but are overblown.
-Farcry games are terrible
-No Mans Sky was alright, its not even bad.
-Fantasy isometric RPG's are over done and boring settings.
-"SJWs" have more of a point than "anti SJWs"
-Deus Ex HR is better than the first
-Just use someones pronouns honestly, making a big deal over it is silly.
-The Caliphates and early Islamic history is awful. But Muslims aren't anymore bad than any other religion.
-Its okay for a chick you're dating to be taller
-TFA is a good movie christ.

 

Fantasy nowadays is just fantasy WITH A TWIST! Some do it better some worse.

 

They did ask for "unpopular" opinions

 

Brutal DOOM is fun, I just feel the new one has better structure and I prefer the more chaotic arena battles vs the rooms from before. Not saying that the old school room system is bad but the arenas are more intense and fun imo. The weapon alternate fire modes add a unique dynamic to the game and the upgrades/collectibles give more reason to explore. Also the game is gorgeous.

About the Deus Ex/Fallout things. Those are my personal feelings and opinions based on my experiences as a fan of both franchises. (one who played the games in order too) I feel deus ex the first issue was the stealth/shooting/upgrade mechanics were sub par and HR revolution made them good. Shooting is a satisfy stop n pop and stealth is miles better. It lacks some of the size and depth of player choice but the focus on augments over skills is for the best. I think Fallout 3 is more or less a fair implementation of fallout into a 3D space. It falls abit short in terms of writing but it simplified the skill system in a way i felt was good, the atmosphere was solid, the pip boy was brilliant, the early survival feel was great and exploration is fun. But the lore and writing short comings are really obvious but by far not the worst fallout game. 4 I have the most mixed feelings about. It has a lot of what i enjoyed from 3 but it feels like even more of a step back but I did enjoy it when I played it but idk how I feel now about it.

I feel regardless if you agree with trans gendered people or not for the sake of it I just say use the pronouns. Im hardly a LGBTQKSKJDKJBNAKJ warrior becuase im not part of the culture or familiar with it but I feel it only makes sense to use their correct pronouns. Because imo it doesn't really impede my life in anyway.

As for TFA I guess thats opinion really. Its not perfect but i like it as a star wars film so *shrug*

I think its abit weird if shes significantly taller but otherwise I think its abit silly for guys to be upset if shes like an inch or two taller.

Oh heres another one: Call of Pripyat sucks, the second STALKER game is good-ish and shadow of Chernobyl is the best of them.

 

'World War 3 won't happen anytime soon.'

'Wrong. My thread is coming soon to elaborate'

I'll like to see you try ahaha

 

It really isn't though, they have a fundamental misunderstanding about what those classic games were about and that sentiment is echoed in almost every element of their games. You have a Fallout game where character builds do not matter and have no real barring on the game world. There are choices, but no real consequences. Fallout 3 and 4 are just as egregious as Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, they're just easier to swallow.

I agree with you that Human Revolution is a better game than the original, but for completely different reasons. I think the world spaces and the writing is much better in HR which makes the game feel larger than it actually is. The upgrade system is fine, but the game floods you with points and you can break the game really early on even on harder difficulties where the original game made you work for it. Don't wanna be shitty at shooting, gotta put points into pistols and actually be selective about what you upgrade because you can't max out everything.

The core difference between Eidos Montreal's Deus Ex and Bethesda's Fallout is the folks that worked on Human Revolution actually understood what that franchise was about and they understood its design philosophies.
