Topic: Unpopular Gaming Opinions

@FullbringIchigo It's been way too long since I saw that film!

@KALofKRYPTON i watched it last week, it's on Netflix

So i finally got round to getting a PlayStation Classic and while yeah the game selection could have been better it's still a great little system and i know people in the u.S had trouble with the games as they were PAL not NTSC but as i'm in the PAL region the games run fine

so my Unpopular Gaming Opinion: The PlayStation Classic is pretty good

@FullbringIchigo Bleemsyc!

My Unpopular Opinion: Sonic R was a really fun even if the game was unbalanced.

Burnout Paradise is the best Burnout game.

I've just started the remaster having beaten vanilla BP twice to 100% - Can't wait to do it all again!

@FalconIX honestly, i agree the game was fun but really unbalanced

and had an awesome soundtrack too

Dreams is anti gaming.

Since owning the early access I haven't played anything else other than a 3 hour go on tomb raider on a Tuesday night with the lads.

@themcnoisy You posted this yesterday? That good, you've erased it from your memory already! 😂

Can’t say it’s fun, but it’s the only Sonic Racing game that made sense!

Persona 4 music sucks. Only 3 songs out of the entire soundtrack sounds good. I’m ready to get lots of backlash from saying that sentence.

@KratosMD I’ve heard that people say it’s good.

@QualityGeezer An unpopular opinion is fine but it's fundamentally wrong to say that they lack talent to make any kind of game that appeals to grown up players since a whole bunch of adults thoroughly enjoy Nintendo games, myself included. Maybe your wording is just off.

@QualityGeezer That's fair enough, it's personal taste at the end of the day. In my opinion BOTW destroys The Witcher 3, and Mario Odyssey is leagues ahead of Uncharted!

I would say it's probably not too unpopular to feel the way you do though, a lot of people dont like Nintendo games.

I'd put most of Nintendos 1st party games above the whole Uncharted series and that's coming from a primarily Playstation player.

@kyleforrester87 His wording isn't off. He's saying exactly what he means. What he's saying just happens to be quite foolish.

The funny thing, of course, is that Nintendo's primary demographic is 30+ years old at this point.

@QualityGeezer @Ralizah It's obviously fine to dislike them, it's just not remotely factual that Nintendo can't appeal to adults

The idea that Nintendo is a "kiddy game maker" has been around since at least the Gamecube era. I've personally dealt with it so much, I don't really get upset by it anymore. They really don't challenge that perception too much themselves, if I'm being honest. They market themselves as family friendly, have products like Labo to reinforce it, and don't have much success or representation with more "mature" games, despite having titles like Fire Emblem or Octopath Traveler, which are more in the middle.

I do roll my eyes whenever people feel the need to throw shade (as they're calling it now) at Nintendo fans, especially on here (@QualityGeezer isn't doing this, I'm just talking about in general). It just serves no point and brings nothing but fanboy arguements that derail actual discussion.

@QualityGeezer Look, I don't think anyone cares if you dislike Nintendo's output or not. But saying they "lack the talent to make a game about anything other than pushing jump" isn't really an 'unpopular opinion,' it's just sort of a silly thing to say. It's not reflective of reality and just shows that you haven't made an attempt to engage with most of their output. How is Pikmin, a real time strategy game, a "game about pushing jump?" Zelda? Fire Emblem? Splatoon? I could go on.

If you want to say: "I don't like Nintendo as a company and don't care to try out their games," then... you know, whatever. I think it's a shame, but people will do what they want. But generalizing about something so obviously untrue probably isn't a great approach. Just my two cents.

@QualityGeezer I can absolutely see why someone attracted to narrative-driven experiences wouldn't have much of an interest in Nintendo's exclusives, which are, by and large, almost exclusively gameplay focused.
