State your unpopular video game opinion...

I assume he means that releasing their games on the PC would devalue their consoles.

 

[XtremelyBaneful]

that's true though, it would. not as much as if they'd release it on the opposite consoles, but still.

I've never been into games in the same kind of genre as Skyrim. Wacky combat animations, too much inventory stuff, too tedious, too time consuming and so on. For me, sometimes less is more. I don't play games that consist of thousands of quests.

sounds like you want linear experiences.

 

[Oscorp]

sounds like you want linear experiences.

I like open world games too. I love Arkham City, Just Cause 2, Spider-Man 2, etc. Those games have a lot more fun and fluid gameplay and are (as weird as this might sound) not as overstuffed as games like Skyrim, Dragon Age and other games like those. I can enjoy open world games as long as they don't consist of gameplay such as riding to a village for hours just to talk to a merchant to sell your dragontooth or whatever.

OK, so I guess you're just not so fond of RPGs.

I think that's it. Less loot hoarding, more action. However, I have fond memories of e.g. Zelda and the first two generations of Pokémon. I guess those two game series are not as overstuffed and tedious as Skyrim, Dragon Age, The Witcher etc.

yeah, those games are action rpgs. zelda from my understanding isn't really an rpg at all, it's action adventure

Is Dragon Age as in depth as games like Skyrim? I only played the first Dragon Age game, and barely made it a 3rd or so of the way through before I got sick of it. My feeling was it geared more toward the action elements than the RPG elements, kind of dabbling in them the way Mass Effect did. That said, I haven't gone back to Dragon Age or played any of the sequels, so I have no idea how involved they may or may not be.

I dunno, is it?

 

[Soapy]

Popularity has nothing to do with depth.

I love Skyrim, but it's about as deep as a puddle.

My new unpopular opinion is that the first Metroid is overrated.

 

[XtremelyBaneful]

of 1986? it's considered one of the greatest games of all time

 

[Soapy]

I didn't say I think it's bad. Just overrated.

Some puddles are pretty deep. But in terms of depth, I didn't mean so much the story and characters, as I did the world itself -being able to take anything that's not nailed down, the wealth of creatures, locations, amount of activities/quests, etc. Are any of the Dragon Age games as detailed (perhaps a better word) than Skyrim was?

 

[Soapy]

No, not really.

 

[KevanG]

I'd like to see more open world games like Skyrim and Fallout. Good ones anyway. Rage was pretty meh considering how from what I heard it was supposed to be another Fallout.

I'm not sure my real life can handle anymore games like Skyrim and Fallout

 

[KevanG]

I just love games where things can happen you'd never expect even after playing it for weeks. Be it giant scorpions flying through the skies or planes slamming into the ground in GTA.

 

[OutOfBoose]

Witcher 3 is bloated and has significantly weaker story than Witcher 2.

Absolutely. Even just the interactions you can get randomly throughout the world, or ones you can set up through careful manipulation (leading Raiders into the path of a Deathclaw, for example). When the world itself is just as, if not more, entertaining than the story -that's the kind of game I want to play.

 

[Tron Bonne]

It's really not.

 

[Soapy]

I don't know, that's kind of the impression I had going into it.

 

[Tron Bonne]

The original Metroid, I think, is mostly considered to be groundbacking because of what it tries to do but ultimately a clunky and poorly designed game based on the limitations of the hardware at the time. Super Metroid, which is essentially a remake of Metroid, and the actual full remake, Zero Mission, are the ones that are really regarded. It's kind of like the original Final Fantasy. One created the genre, it set the basework, but it's really the ones that came afterward that defined it as a classic series.

At least, that's always been the impression I've gotten about the series.

 

[Soapy]

I don't know. I'm just playing the games for the first time and I liked Metroid II way more than the first, so I'm just basing my opinions on that.

 

[WolfCypher]

The Last of Us is boring.

Great story that I want to stay invested in, but the minute I try to play it, I'm seriously ready to stop. My friends would never (and still) let me be with my opinion. And then I got the game (and PS4) for free. I tried it. I literally stopped right after I 1st meet Effie or Allan or whatever the &^)$ her name is.
