    Please justify this. Specifically, comparing it to the library of the GBA (all Gameboy and GBA games) and the DS (all GBA and DS games).

    Alright WoW stuff: Ulduar is pretty nice but Karazhan and Naxx were better and ToC had the more interesting boss mechanics (yes I said it, come at me bro)

    Gnomer is a great instance. Oculus is fun. MoP dailies are great.

    Wailing Caverns and Sunken Temple are terrible and Blizz can just remove them now and they will not be missed.

    Non-WoW stuff:

    The original LoZ is the best 2D Zelda. Overall the 3D ones were better (although they peaked early on with OoT/MM). Zelda isn't really an omg SUPER GROUNDBREAKING series to me but is enjoyable enough if played for what they are, which is running around with a sword and a boomerang and stuff.

    3rd gen Pokemon was GREAT. It was also the last Pokemon game I played, though. 2nd gen is the best.

    Vaporeon is the best Eevee evolution.

    I don't think any thread has left me wanting to use my CK powers irresponsibly more than this one.

    Oh, I forgot...

    Starcraft sucks and only people who seriously lack a life play it. Starcraft competitions are dumb unless you're actually really good at which point you definitely don't have a life because to get good at that game you have to put in a lot of time investment for the strategy.

    Same with World of Warcraft. Take a shower and go outside.

    No. Outside sucks and games are better.

    I agree that Starcraft has gotten pretty casual-mode though. It's turned into the Angry Birds of strategy games.

    Chess competitions are dumb unless you're actually really good at which point you definitely don't have a life because to get good at that game you have to put in a lot of time investment for the strategy.

    I think the title said unpopular, not completely ignorant.

    FFIX and Xenogears are overrated.
    Phoenix Wright sucks.
    MILF is a terrible person with terrible taste. Oh wait, that seems to be the general consensus here.

    Lunar: SSSC is one of my favorite games.

    The FPS genre peaked in the late-90s, early-00s with games like Quake 3 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

    The modern setting for FPS games has been played out far worse than WW2 ever was.

    MMOs focus too much on endgame and not enough on the overall experience.

    Portable systems and smartphones are horrible platforms for RPG games.

    For developers/publishers: Copying another game won't mean you have the same success as it. Come up with something original to draw people away from that game. The MMO and FPS genres being the worst offenders of this.

    For developers/publishers: Making a sequel more "accessible" to attract more people to an already established IP, is a good way to piss off your day one customers. Ya know, the same people who bought the original. Which in turn will give your game awful word of mouth.

    I want to bitchslap the apparent 90% of studios/publishers who disagree with the last 2 so badly...

    What most people, including gamers, developers, and reviewers, consider "difficult" is merely an arbitrary measure of reaction time and speed of button-pressing/command issuing.

    A game requiring incredibly fast reflexes, or a high Action Per Minute count to succeed in is considered "hard".

    Truly difficult games are thus frequently overlooked, and turn-based games never have their difficulty discussed anymore (at least, until XCOM!).
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    Is that why my post is missing or did I hallucinate writing it the first time???

    I was just messin with ya And I'm definitely with you on that. I like to call them "glorified buyer's guides."

    Final Fantasy I-IX on one machine.

    Oh, and it's my opinion.

    This thread is as good as any to put this to bed.

    Daring to speak ill of Microsoft does not make you a Sony fanboy.

    I owned a DS years before I bought a PSP. I'm on the record in this forum calling the PSP trash until it finally got on the same page as my late in its life cycle. I own a N64 and Gamecube and could take this forum's best three Super Smash Bros. players, in any version, on a team against me, solo (for dolo). I've been an on and off PC gamer all my life. I currently game almost exclusively on my PC. I've been on Steam since it was released by Valve. I've called out Sony for its mistakes in General Gaming and in my own professional reviews.

    I didn't buy an Xbox 360 because it was a defective machine for the majority of its lifecycle and it never established a solid repertoire of exclusives. These statements have never been controversial.

    I am sorry for daring to say these things out loud on the forum and for the emotional suffering it has caused you. I know Iceglow will never forgive me. All I hope going forward is that we can continue on as one big EoFF family.

    I'm sorry you paid money for a horrible console (<- not for real this time)
