Well, i think there are still some (dumb) people liking that game...
well if there are, we should see them in their droves come here to defend it!










Don't worry, I'll wait.

"Ay, listen up, fag, zelda da best, i don't need to shoot people cuz dat immature"
I will say that the Zelda franchise has a lotta influence and are by no means bad games, but what was totally dope in the 80's and 90's doesn't exactly translate to high class refinement in the 2010's.

A problem I especially see is when modern game devs take influence from older games like OoT and similar shit of that past era, but don't... Improve. On shit. N64 shit and early 3d games in general don't exactly translate the best modern day due to shit like control schemes primarily; We've refined a lotta shit in terms of functionality in the past few gens.

Spec ops the line was rather horrid in a good way but ultimately just freaking depressing....but it shows that not all war is men just shooting each other and dieing, their are consequences to every action.

I don't like zombie survival games such as DayZ. Same shit over and over just a new engine.

Let's remind ourselves that No Man's Dky if complete bs
My "controversial" opinion is that No Man's Sky is a decent game that maybe didn't deliver on many of its promises, but is still kinda fun to play for what it is - I think it's competent and well built enough to earn the status of one of the better indie games that were released this year. It's the same situation that was with Fable - majority of promises didn't live to the final release, but everybody liked it anyway because the game was good. If you want a real, unexaggerated example of both overhyped and shitty game, google "Rise of the Robots" - it's a legendary pile of marketed crap. Kim Justice made an overview on the whole story, it's worth to check out.

i think Bethesda's games (specifically TES 4 and 5 and Fallout3, NV and 4) have total shit main quests.

i wouldn't really call it a controversial opinion but i don't play Bethesda games for the intended main quests. in fact, i hurry through them as fast as i can so i can roleplay different non-main-quest-related characters. in some cases like Fallout4, i never even finished the main quest before fucking off and starting a new character disassociated with the main quest entirely. in Skyrim, i modded the game to disable dragons, Thuum and word walls to roleplay a someone before the dragons awoke.

Also! Yes it didn't live to the hype but oh my gosh it's a step in the right direction! Doing something other gaming companies couldn't do, making a universe! trillions of planets! Sure it's rough...real rough but could you imagine using that arithmetic system or whatever its called on different type of games? The potential! This is a huge mild stone for video games! So even if you don't like no man's sky...buy the game anyway, for what it could be and for what it will do for gaming in the future! Are technology isn't there yet but only no man's sky can say they did it first and is the foundation for future games to build on! Not for just there game company but for all gaming companies.

New Vegas is not that much of Bethesdas game as far I know.
And fallout 4 is extremely shallow, even with mods it's quickly boring.

For some reason i got the LEAST amount of enjoyment out of New Vegas. i really need to reinstall it and grab all the DLC because everyone keeps telling me i need to retry it specifically because of how i play. i got the game on release day, ran through the main questline in the following weekend, somehow broke the final quest and i just gave up on the game entirely. i put in just over 50 hours according to Steam but i don't remember any of it. it left a bad taste in my mouth for some reason and i tried to replay two other characters before i uninstalled and forgot it. Once i kill off Fallout4's questlines and DLC i'll give NV another shot.

Its not the human race, its just the human race
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.
Pokemon is still pretty dark if you look into it, especially if you read the pokedex entries. In Sun and Moon there is a pokemon that is an effort by humans to make God, that's not dark for you? Pokemon will probably never seem dark on the surface because it one of its target audiences is children.

I also thought the first Homefront had a lot of potential and could have been a good game, if it had been executed properly.

I personally find NV most interesting of all fallout games. It's not perfect. Interface and crafting is cumbersome but it feels like expanded F3. Expanded in right way.

It's a quite common opinion, actually - it's coming largery from the fact that NV was developed by former F1/F2 developers and is put together from stuff that was made for cancelled pre-Bethesda F3. It's also the only game in the series that both old and new fans universally consider good. Old fans tend to dislike Fallout 3/4 for butchered canon and shift in design ideology, and post-Bethesda fans usually don't like Fallout 1/2 for outdated mechanics, boring battle system and cumbersome interface. Here, it's pretty much a Fallout game with new mechanics and old canon and ideology, and in the end result, everybody liked it

I really really liked Fallout 1. It had a feel, atmosphere and a sense of humour all of it's own and the combat I actually loved, especially when you kill somthing with a critical and you get a really grizzly death sequence.
When Bethesda Oblivionised it with the third game, I found it to be a fairly successful transition. Fallout 3 does have a tenancy to get a little dull though, with it's samey locations and dismal colour palette. But overall, I liked the revamp of the mechanics and for the most part, enjoyed it quite a bunch.

The funny thing is that many fans (including some of die-hard ones) found transition to more Oblivion-style RPG a very logical approach to the series - especially considering how influential Fallout was to TES itself, Morrowind in particular. The thing that pissed people off isn't really the gameplay (which in my opinion was top notch) as much as was, well, the lack of Fallout in a Fallout title. Lore was heavily reworked and in a way butchered, locations weren't the same, writing has a completely different style to it, heavy emphasis on SPECIAL system was lost - in other words, while the game was good, you could slap any other name on it and remove some signature stuff, and nobody would have noticed. New Vegas was so universally beloved because it brought Fallout back to Fallout (lol) - locations from old games, very exploration-based, fixed canon and lots of references, SPECIAL system plays a huge role again, etc. On gaming forums people even joked that it's a "Fallout 3: Fallout Edition". And welp, then came Fallout 4, which did exactly the same thing the 3rd one did - screwed up the lore, reworked SPECIAL into something more generic, "Mass Effect"ed the writing, and in general was an "in name only" non-Fallout (but still quite good, yes). Time will tell if guys from original team will return once again for another "fix-it-up" spin-off/expansion.

I hate doom 4, you go into a room and get locked into it until you kill all the demons, then do the same thing over and over again and also for me it seemed way too easy. I do not like rpg's (very few I enjoy, like fallout 1 and 2, could not really get into 3 and 4), also I think smash bros. brawl (the original, haven't played the new one) is better than melee and the original. Oh and honestly I didn't find starforge to be bad, I just think it's ok (yes I did get it when it released it's first demo, and yes I am pissed that they lied, but if you look at on it being over all just fun I just think it isn't too shit) and I don't think FNAF is good (fun or scary) and undertale is ok, it's a little to linear for me, you just play it twice and you played the entire game. (not very controversial but if you say that to most fans they will act like it's baphomet)
Only one or two games past 2007 have been worth playing.

pretty much the same for me, most of the games I play are usually older than me

I can see that, although to be fair, as linear as it is, they make the most of it as it allows the game to properly fuck with you, because it allows is more control. If the game was more open-ended, I would be sure the game couldn't pull the same awesome shit as it does.
