Controversial Game Opinions Time!

[spaceybrains]

I think when people find a game they love, people can take the enthusiasm a little too far. Undertale was an utterly fantastic game, but I do feel like as if people make it out to be the game equivalent of Jesus Christ, witch is just too much. I can imagine people hearing about this game and seeing the absolute rabid hype around it and get slight turned of by it
This happened to my older brother. He hasn't played it yet and I imagine it's the overly-zealous praise of it was to blame :L

Yeah, honestly I agree that its an amazing game, but I feel as though the fan base has turned a lot of people off. It's so surreal being a fan of the game since the demo and then watching what the community has transformed into.

OMG yes. I don't wanna sound like one of the those people but when fnaf 1 came out the community started out great since there was so much mystery surrounding the game and it was so much fun to uncover secrets. I still can't get over how out of control the fandom has gotten in the span of a year.

All the halo games after 3 are garbage.

Though I personally loved Reach, I agree that the rest are crap, like ODST.

Oh, but I don't count any of the shit 343 is spewing out as "Halo". Since it's not made by Bungie and they try to disassociate themselves from them as much as possible, none of it is canon. It's pretty much just an interactive fanfiction.

A godawful fanfiction.

Reach was okay, but it was the beginning of the 343 crap that they're spewing now.

Reach was made by Bungie though.

I know but I feel like they took after reach over every other halo

The new "Halo" games are more like COD: Advanced Warfare than Reach. I can sorta see what you mean, but really it seems like they were just desperate to be their own thing, you know?

Yeah and instead they made something extremely generic feeling. In addition to halo 5 having no local multiplier which I was infuriated about. Halo as a series is already dead and all 343 is doing is poking the corpse with a stick. And on the topic of Bungie games I also hate Destiny.

I like playing Hatred and Postal 2.



You can hate me now

you serious? Postal 2 is hilarious! yea, the game when you boil it down is a poorly designed mess, but god damn, you can taze a dude until they're smoking, then piss on their carcass to cool it down.
No other game I know can let you do that :L

I knoooow! Its a really good game and i have loads of fun playing it. I really enjoyed Apocalypse Weekend and it's other expansion :3. Even sandbox is pretty fun! It actually got a spooky update this Halloween XD

Holy shit, that's actually hilarious. I love it when terrible game creators seem like they're almost trying to be terrible.

Contra Hard Corps beats the crap out of Contra III in terms of quality. Also, Mega Drive/Genesis has much more unique and interesting library of games (from wacky experiments like Comix Zone and Herzog Zwei to gorefests like Splatterhouse to over-the-top insanity like Alien Soldier and Gunstar Heroes) than SNES one - later is probably more consistent in terms of having good games, but its library in general is quite tame and self-repeating one.

Let the bit wars begin again!

it's true, the Megadrive got some weird games. Some real gems on that system though (Rocket Knight Adventures, Streets of Rage, Castlevania: Bloodlines to name a few of my faves :3)
The SNES had a more conservative library, more safe games that while didn't really push many boundaries that far, were nonetheless great. I at least appreciate the Megadrive's almost blatant defiance against Nintendo's library

All the halo games after 3 are garbage. Battleborn has more substance than Overwatch currently and deserves more attention, honestly. On the topic of Gearbox games I hated Borderlands 2. On the topic of square-enix, Final Fantasy 7 is overrated, Final Fantasy 10 all day.

Reach was okay from a narrative standpoint to lead up for Halo CE, but 5 took the narrative and dumped on it, it was jumpy, clunky and overly reminiscent of a poorly executed beta, too much concentration on points that had no meaning and annoyingly repetitive gameplay to focus your time per level.

'Zelda2: Adventure of Link' is my favorite Zelda game.

No joke.
​

Same shit over and over just with a fucking reskin.

This is neither a controversial statement nor hyperbole. it's a fact and that's exactly why people like it. LOL And i don't think many people will disagree with you either. Even for loyal CoD players, it's a guilty pleasure that most won't admit.

Pokemon (The entire games in general) is kind of repetitive. Although with Gen 5 which was my most favorite, onward, they went back down. It'd be interesting if it had a little more of a darker theme for once, just once. Put some sort of realistic enough tension in the stories to start off.

Ever heard of Lavender Town? If you're looking for darkness, that may satisfy you.

Would that have anything to do with the music per chance?

Yeah I remember Lavender Town, its music was actually my first favorite sound track as a kid (I didn't know about the cliché overused creepypastas surrounding it at the time.) A funny thing I remember was I thought the trainer dudes there were Muslims from how they dressed. After Gen 2 to today's pokemon, it looks like the creators completely neutered it of the dark aspects.

 

[Tetrachroma]

The music, as well as the location itself. Based on what I've heard, there are some pretty dark things that happen there.

Even though I've had a Gameboy Color with Pokemon Red and Yellow since 2004, I've never actually gotten that far in the game.

I despise the Whole Metal Gear franchise

aaahhh, there's the controversial opinion
but I'm curious why. why do you hate them?

 

[Corrupt-Canine]

Oh, I have another opinion, but regarding Smash Brawl. There's too many sword welding characters. Link, Metaknight, Ike, and Marth were enough. But after a huge load of swordmen in the roster is annoying. We don't need any more sword swinging sissies that look like they came from an anime.
