Unpopular Gaming Opinions

[Skyblade]

Dragon Age Origins had wretched combat mechanics.

With you there buddy, was so bad I couldn't be bothered slogging through the game.

Cheat. If you're playing on the PC, there are tons of console commands, mods, and other such things that can make the combat trivial. It's a good story, with some great characters and moments. It's just the gameplay that sucks. Its gameplay may not be as bad as KotOR's, but my gosh, it is still horrible.

SWTOR and Mass Effect are the only games by BioWare I've played which are actually fun to play, instead of forcing myself to play them in order to get to the story bits.


Ooh, another unpopular opinion: SWTOR has fun gameplay.

Each class is unique, and fun. It's not just a WoW clone, because, while I loved my Warrior in WoW, that was the only class I enjoyed. Anytime I pick up a new character in SWTOR, I find myself generally liking the gameplay mechanics on their own. The weakest class is the Knight/Warrior, but I'd still rate it up there with WoW's Warrior class.

SWTOR's main failing is that it is an MMO. It would be so much better as a single player game.

Baldur's Gate II. Baldur's Gate II is best BioWare game.

Crash Team Racing isn't another rip-off of Mario Kart...

- I hate Final Fantasy VIII. The horrible story, Junction system, and the writing ruins it for me.
-I hate Final Fantasy X. Given the battle system, Sphere Grid, Auron, and Yuna are amazing, Tidus, the horrible story, Spira, and blitzball EASILY ruin this game for me.
- I didn't like Skyrim. I thought the game was really boring, lacked depth, and I felt like all the NPC's and other characters were poorly designed. Not to mention the hair in Skyrim is awful.
- I've never been able to get into the Legend of Zelda series. I've played, like, two. I always get to bored with the others and quit halfway in.
- Same thing with Half Life. Never was able to get into it.
- I prefer Playstation to Xbox.
- I thought Borderlands was pathetic and stupid. I would only play it with friends to critisize it. I don't have high hopes for Borderlands 2, even thought i've heard its ten times better.
- I thought Sonic 06 was a good game.
- Okay, I'm kidding about the last one.

I put ~60 hours into it at launch, and recently revisited it and was... underwhelmed. I think there was a lot of "ooh, shiny" when it came out for me, but now I just wonder why. I think it's a beautiful world they've crafted, but god is it shallow. I'm just not interested in cookie-cutter dungeons and bland combat. I'm very much retroactively disappointed in the game.

But KotOR is excellent.

I thought this was an absolute and undeniable fact! =O

Of course. Which is why everyone should skip Mass Effect or Dragon Age and immediately play it.

The game is, yes. The gameplay is not. So horribly stilted and jerky. The semi-turn-based nature of ability activations mean you get five seconds of nothing, followed by a brief flurry of activity that you can't follow. Targeting was a mess, ability selection was horrible, AI was ridiculous.

It's a great game, but try to go back and play it now, and you'll see just how bad the combat is.

[Quindiana Jones]

I often went back and played KotOR and KotOR 2. They're great fun. Admittedly, HK47 is the main reason that 2 holds similar ground to the first.

[Madame Adequate]

Actually I played it a year or two ago and had a great time, I just don't see those complaints tbh

- I love Final Fantasy VIII. The intricate story, Junction system, and the writing makes it for me.
-I love Final Fantasy X. Given the battle system, Sphere Grid, Auron, and Yuna are amazing, Tidus, the story, Spira, and blitzball EASILY make this game for me.
- I've only been able to get into one out of the Legend of Zelda series: Majora's Mask. I've played, like, two. I didn't enjoy Hey! Ocarena.
- I don't know what Half-Life or Skyrim are.
- I prefer Playstation to XBOX. I hate my XBOX, it doesn't stay on when I turn it on. It comes on after a power outage and won't turn off. It sucks that some of the games I'm most interested in playing are only available on the system... fu...
- The videos I've seen of Borderlands make me sleepy.

I will agree with Kanno, the Sega Saturn was a great system and I know that we're in the minority in saying that.

I had a PSone too which if we're going by quantitive standards, of course it was superior for the fact that there were many games available for it. Many of the games I loved were Sonic games and I played them on the Sega Saturn. It was a large part of my child hood and makes me nostalgic to this day. Some of the games also looked and felt better to me. For example, I preferred to play Resident Evil 1 on SS because of the shoddy PSone controls. Granted, the controls still sucked only slightly less on SS, but that's Capcom's fault.

I am also probably in the minority when I say that the Dreamcast sucks. I was one of the people who didn't buy it when everyone was all gun-ho about it because I saw it as a pointless purchase.

[Bolivar]

I don't think a lot of people vehemently maintain that the Sega Saturn sucked, per se. Just because it's largely forgotten in the annals of history doesn't mean it was horrible. The limited time I spent with it at my friend's place were pretty cool, I just moved to Sony after the Genesis for some strange reason...
