Unpopular gaming opinions SECOND IMPACT

Oh, come on that was barely a game! The secret bosses took some strategy, but I just mashed my way through the final boss battle. I couldn’t even make out what it was and I didn’t care, I just kept mashing buttons and completed the game.

just cause a game doesnt take skill doesnt make it a bad game.

A game that doesn’t require skill is worthless IMO.

^ gasp Okami? Shadow of the Colossuss? That’s almost anything other than fighters, DMC, Shinobi, Megaman 2, and Ninja Gaiden. Than again everything requires skill to play lol you need to push buttons. Some people can’t do that

But I mainly care about a great story and immersive worlds.
KH1 difficulty has to come back amped up like Sephiroth, gargoyle beast.

Doom didnt take any skill and people still think its the greatest fps ever

Good action games, FPS, 3rd person shooters, RTSs, turn based strategy games, puzzle games, shooters, graphic adventures etc. all require skill in some form or another.

A game that doesn’t require any skill (and no, pressing X to skip dialogue doesn’t require any skill) is pointless to me, if I want just a good story I would read a book, a comic or watch a movie, I really don’t understand people like you and pfh but to each his own I guess.

I like good games with story and experience what’s not to understand. MGS, and Heavy Rain is worthless to you? That thing is a hidden gem. Why can’t video games become a medium of storytelling? Why do I have to rely in books and movies not that I don’t love those also. You left out RPGs they do take skil i.e. Persona 3 and 4. Trust me not everyone can play a Valkyrie Profile. When I actually think about it I have not played a game that takes no skill (thinking, nimbleness, e.t.c.) at all if there is any. Inputting functions within a controller in itself is a skill. So is breathing, walking, speaking, eating, hearing, fucking, cooking, rolling, reading, smoking, sleeping, writing. They are just very minute

chaos legion was actually a good game. I mean, zieg isn’t exactly Dante, but at least he don’t wear a man bra.

it is super-high time it got a remake.

Another unpopular opinion:

Vagrant Story was a bad game. The battle system was absolutely terrible and the weapon customization was complicated in all the wrong ways.

Cool art/setting/music though…

Doom didnt take any skill and people still think its the greatest fps ever

doom is one of the unsung heroes in the sense that it adjusted the masses to an artistically immersive consciousness because of the colours, the sounds, the pace, the controls and obviously the view. it was so successful on PC because when we sit at a PC we’re already immersed so it was double the immersion.

doom openned up a whole new skill medium which is hardly being used the way it ought to be because of people creating and everybody wanting a hollywood movie like immersion which sustains mental repititions. this is why games are looked down on, instead of doing what movies can’t do it forever tries to do what movies can do better

Deus Ex is the greatest role playing game ever made

[Stuart_Hayden]

my mentality of posting on srk has never changed, cause its only the internet, I take on a personia, which is different then the way I act in real life, if you think I was throwing a tantrum, then you really are a fool. I wasnt even mad, just trying to make a point, cause that makes you a 8 year old also for making a point.

this sounds so stupid. :lol: I TAKE ON A PERSONA DIFFERENT FROM MY OWN! I AM TRANSFORMED!

[Skunk]

Then you have this silly ass battle visual; the party meets a group of monsters in a forest. They all stand in perfect formation with a big space between the groups…one dude jumps out and SLASHES THE AIR…then he jumps back in formation. A monster comes out and does the same. You’ve got to be kidding me with this. It’s like some alternate world I’ve fallen into, where a sizeable majority of gamers out there are playing a practical joke on me that’s gone on since the 80s…and the whole point was to pretend to like this nonsense just to drive me crazy trying to analyze how this surprising majority of people consider this garbage “fun”.

I like JRPGs… but that’s still hilarious… and true.

I enjoy first person dungeon crawlers - you know those old pc-style rpg’s where the viewing area was just a small box on the screen, the rest of it taken up by stats and shit? And you move through dungeons in a first perosn view step by step and have to draw maps to not get lost. Basically all the D&D games, Dungeon Magic for NES, Wizardry series, etc.

In that same style for the NES there was Shadowgate, Deja Vu, and Uninvited that are still up there in my favorite games.

[P.Gorath]

yup shadowgate and shadowgate64 (not as good)

[Grog]

I’ve heard 64 was completely different, never really looked into that though.

when you take the internet serious, it makes you look like a fool, theres no point in trying to make the other fools happy, i dont get paid for that.

Edit: if kingdom heats games dont take any skill I guess, games like Final Fight and Streets of rage take no skill also. Id really like to see someone go through the whole game just by pushing 1 button

[HeaT]

nah i just console game dude

unfortunate as pc is the king of those types of games imo.
