Unpopular opinions 2.0!

The video games industry as we knew it is dead. Creativity in video gaming is deemed "too risky" by investors seeking a return. If you want video games to NOT suck, you need to kick big money and all the suits out.

Good games don't need big budgets, studios, teams, timelines, or good graphics. FFS, it took way too many keyboard jockeys to make a broken pile of unpolished crap like Fallout 76. Compare it to Undertale or Minecraft which was made with a fraction of the team, budget, of everything used to churn out shit AAA games and you see the real cancer is big business.

Sadly, it might be too late to excise.

For example Minecraft has "Bad" graphics, no quests, yet is worth billions. >>>>>> Cyberpunk 2077/Fallout 76 which has good graphics but are tedious to play and both lost millions of dollars.

Videogames are for children.

*runs for cover*

Somebody better tell that to the ESRB then for rating games that were intended for people that are 17+.

Nonsense. Leisure Suit Larry, Hatred, and Conker's Bad Fur Day were totally intended for an impressionable young demographic. I expanded my vocabulary with quite a few colorful words from these games.

(Sarcasm is fun.)

 

[pilgrimfromoblivion]

Leisure Suit Larry,

we don't talk about those games

Hatred,

hatred is a huge meme at this point, hell i think i think it was always a meme even when it came out. Not sure why everyone made a huge fuss about it.

Conker's Bad Fur Day

dunno how that game got on the Nintendo 64 lol

I don't understand it, so it must clearly be invalid and without merit. Checkmate Videya games.

he's saying those games are raunchy/violent and were made for an adult audience.

I think the Final Fantasy 13 trilogy was good, especially FF 13-2 and Lightning Returns.

The sauce is the best part of pizza and I ask for extra.

Chairs are better than booths.

I don't have too many unpopular opinions but it could also be a lack of self awareness and I will find out more.

I had the most issues with 13, a bit hallwayish but the awkward vibes with Sazh and Vanille (she felt awkwardly sexualized?) brought down a lot of respect for the game. That being said, I think the setting and music were amazing and I loved all the references to Hinduism in the enemies, and the game could be genuinely challenging at moments compared to last FF titles and I think the combat system was overhated. Design philosophy of the game is the second best in the series, behind 10. Everything looked so cool and unique.

FF13-2 I love the time travel and soundtrack and the characters and their dialogue felt well written this time around. I also greatly appreciate that they pulled off a male and female main character duo without them becoming love interests and idk the game came out at a dark time in my life and the messages of hope and stuff from the main characters unexpectedly cheered me up? Monster taming and growing was fun. Caius is a great villain, one of the best in the series. And Hope was one of my favorite FF characters by the end of this game which is such a turn-around from FF13.

Lightning Returns is the closest thing we have to Majora's Mask in gameplay and that's a big plus since MM is maybe my favorite game of all time. My only issues in the entire game were some of the outfit designs and some NPCs having some awkward designs. And I really like the cosmology it expanded on. Yet another fantastic soundtrack and setting design. Wraps things up rather nicely. The battle system was well done despite my concern of it being boring because it's a solo party. The main city and its atmosphere was really well done.

The big sin is that 13 itself was super problematic and a lot of people wouldn't be willing to play the sequels which I think are genuinely fun and redeem some earlier issues.

Free will is a lie, every single action you take has already been prepared in your subconsciousness and is a product of evolution and environmental influences. You don't decide to "lift an arm" or "sit down", the decision has already been made before you think about making it. Taking this further it means that no person is accountable for their potential crimes since it is their subconsciousness (again formed from outside influence and evolution) that makes these "bad" decisions for them. For the sake of society we have to keep up this charade of free will and the illusion of "accountability", civilization could not exist without it.

That would be like saying water doesn't exist, because it's actually formed of molecules

Nothing new.

It’s why indie games have been on then rise since 2010, they do better generally speaking and have more creativity and due to either lack of developers and money some aren’t intense in graphics like undertale or even in cases like Cuphead people put a lot of work and effort into it and despite the risk manage to come out on top.

Only reason I want to work in the industry is to mostly have a decent paying job than what I have currently, plus odds are I might meet peeps and make our own game together, otherwise I’d advice peeps to go indie game, platforms like Steam let us upload to a wide range of people and youtubers help publish it with a genuine reaction and may get it picked up by others.

Even if you get a Fall guys, you’d of made a decent amount. But just know some trends don’t stick, but never chase it either.

Belle really deserved Gaston. Both are elitist pricks. She gets uppity and dismissive because the baker is too busy with his job to chat about her hobby.

[A-stick-figure]

2D people made of lines are better than 3D realistic drawings.
