no u

I find the halo series to be boring.

I actively dislike Vivi; the Black Waltz 3 should have been recruitable. (I feel bad posting this right after Freya. ;_; )

Star Ocean 1 has my favorite story in the series.

I like Suikoden 1 more than Suikoden 2.

More mechanics =/= a better game.

I hate Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 and 3.

HoN, DotA2, and LoL are all about as good as each other (ignoring metagame elements such as queue times, character decoration, sound packs, ect).

League of Legends' community isn't even 1/1000th as toxic as everyone says.

Smash Bros is not an especially enjoyable series.

Mario Kart: Double Dash is the best in the series.

I have NEVER enjoyed Pokemon Gen II, nor the remakes of said games.

The Legend of Zelda series is generally very 'meh'.

I hate Zero Suit Samus.

Zero Suit Samus is basically bulltrout. I get the idea of having an alternate costume is neat, and the idea of it being the jumpsuit beneath the armor is even neater for me.

Making her a short blonde lady in a combat oriented suit that has heals (what?!?) is smurfing stupid.

I know there's plenty of other female characters suffering the same treatment, and admittedly not all of them bother me, and some of them I even like. Samus was never supposed to be that character though. The whole point of her character was supposed to be the opposite of that, and especially since there's already plenty of other female characters to fill the sexy, femme-fatale bombshell, niche, there was no reason to give her the same treatment.

I haven't seen the actress or the show, but I'd like to see more video games have a Brienne of Tarth style character.

I'll have to think of my other unwelcome opinions.

I don't see the point in people making money off playing games all day if they're not testing or creating them. This goes for pro gamers, let's players and anything of that sort.

because people enjoy watching someone with a good personality play a game?

It is her unpopular opinion lol although I sorta agree.

I think there should be harsher ways to punish jerks in online games. All the way from online shooting games to MMOs, people act like jerks and have no repercussions from it. I wish there were harsher moderation on them.

GTA, CoD, Battlefield, Halo: these are all bad game series with immense followings.

Crisis Core was pretty lame.

Battlefield 2 is the only Battlefield game that I enjoyed. the rest were too Call of Dutyish. At least in 2 there were vehicles and very specific roles to be such as medic and support or special forces. It added a very cool element to the game. Being medic could be very fun running out into a street in a firefight to revive or heal teammates and all you have is a base model M-16 so you aren't all ramboing around and need to worry about cover and snipers ect. After that they went to CoD wannabe and I moved back to Counter Strike for FPS.


But yeah, GTA Halo and CoD suck.

I think The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct is a fantastic game. I've played and beat it multiple times. I've never met one person who didn't think it was total dogtrout. Ever. It's universally panned but I totally dig it.

"Not even being able to play as Daryl was able to save this smurfing game" is something I hear frequently. I don't care about the criticisms of others. I love it.

I see that sitting at Game Stop all the time and debate picking it up. Might have to check it out now.

I thought that was the general consensus.

I don't like unpopular opinion threads because people name popular series just to get a knee jerk reaction from people and hope to find someone/some people to circle jerk with. And I am forced to start a circle jerk by going against a thread that goes against the tide in gaming! Help! I am losing my mind! Save me Mountain Dewritos!!!
