Unpopular Gaming Opinions

[maybee]

That was a really awesome post that could be a thread in itself. The flames of the PS3 360 war have largely been extinguished, yet a lot of the fury from the 16-bit epoch still rages, at least passive-aggressively, today. Sega had such an incredible vibe going with the music and the artwork of a lot of the first party games, but I can understand how the opposition gets enthralled by that "Nintendo magic" that you can still see in a lot of their games even today. So while a lot of us have since gone back to check out Chrono Trigger and FFVI, a lot of the Nintendo retro crowd have to wonder why the smurf they would ever want to play Shining Force or Phantasy Star.

Agree.

I've tried the Phantasy Star on a Sega collection set for the PSP and ... I just can't get into it... I have no idea if that is a unpopular opinion or not, but compared to the SNES's Final Fantasy games, they just don't compare thanks to SquareSoft. Also I don't get why it's called Phantasy Star ? What in the flying fudge is a Phantasy ? It sounds like your trying to say Fantasy, but you have a lisp.

I do have to think that the SNES was the better console over all [ even though the Sega has my favourite game in the world Strider ], but damn some people even today worship it like crazy.

Also Sega was rude smurftards with their advertising towards Nintendo.
