Unpopular gaming opinions SECOND IMPACT

I wanna agree, like, and insightful this post all at once.

Nina was pretty broken as well from what I heard. Her 1+4 had a lot of plus frames on block.

SF4 is a good game, don’t hate.

Coming from a guy who thinks Alpha 3 has good music. Opinions.

I like SFIV series as well. The only thing I don’t like about it, is just the slow pace, but when two aggresive players go at it, it’s quite entertaining. Example: Fuudo vs Daigo at SEA was everything wrong with SFIV, but Xian vs Sako is everything right with the game.

I like Focus and FADC. I know people hate on FADC “you have to pay for the wrong choice”, but being flexible is cool. I’m not big on meter management and feel it’s more limiting, but SFIV uses it nice. I still prefer ST when it comes to SF, but I’m looking forward to Ultra. Played Super a ton, but not too much AE/2012.

Agreed on Virtua Tennis being the sports game. I just picked up 4 a couple weeks ago, and love everything about it. Presentation, pace (it’s tennis after all), the mini games are always a blast as well. I’d like to see Virtua Racing come back as well, since Sega doesn’t have the Ferrari or Daytona license anymore. I really hope Sega makes the “Virtua” line of games a brand world wide, as they are a shining example of Sega doing right.

Does Virtua Tennis still have the rpg-elements of the first game on the Dreamcast?
God I grinded that shit to death and the game was fun as hell.

And God I hate tennis. Fucking sport for rich cunts, but this game makes it look like the best sport ever.

Yes it does. Even during the Quest Mode, you have to be careful where you go and how much you do or you might not get enough rest for your next match. So you have to balance practice, signing autographs, playing matches/tourneys, resting at hotels and what not. It’s an interesting twist because (so far) they give you three blocks to choose from on how many spots you can move.

I don’t give a shit about IRL Tennis either (at least watching it), but when I play it, I really feel like I should have a cardigan over my shoulder, with to sleeves tied together.

I agree 100%.

Also:

Flagging posts you disagree with in an unpopular opinions thread is My Little Pony fucking tier.

Male My Little Pony fucking tier.

Are there such things?

(I am asking all of the twats who have flagged people’s opinions up in here)

Or do you just misuse your imaginations even harder than the average Bronie?

Flagging posts over someones opinions is funny to me. If your sensitive ass can’t handle reading something that might make you catch some feelings then you shouldn’t have clicked on the Unpopular Gaming Opinions thread. You should be coming in here prepared to read some shit.

This notion of gaming on a phone— I just can’t get on board with that. It’s still one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard with regard to gaming…why in the blue hell would I want to play a game on a goddamn PHONE!? I happen to be a fan of real games with real controls on a real goddamn gaming device. A phone is still “just a phone” to me… I have no desire or need for it to be something beyond that. Maybe I could tolerate something like a Pacman game on there, and that’s it. The majority of what I’ve seen in terms of “mobile device”(i.e. non-dedicated portable shit…stuff that’s NOT DS or Vita or GBA) is pure, fly-ridden trash that I would not even deem worthy of 1 penny. Jesus H. Christ… “gamers” these days, I swear. Go ahead and flock to that heap of garbage over there, just don’t be surprised when in the near future, that’s literally all there is when it comes to portable gaming. “Cutesy” Nintendo stuff + assorted phone-game trash.

@Million I hate that you don’t like Nintendo’s portables. They’re God tier, and 99% of the games I had on all Nintendo portables I owned throughout the years were third-party games.

PSP is GDLK, though. I’m still waiting to snag a 3DS and Vita, their libraries still don’t look all that interesting to me.

Lol. I did go kinda overboard now that I thought about it. Ibuki is still the worst SF3 character. SF2s is Deejay (and I main him in ST/HDR). SFEX is Kairi with his incomplete hadokens and beating Akuma, bitch please. Alpha is Ingrid with her non-cannon ass. 4 is pretty obvious.

Maybe Squall is dead

Makes sense why his older self is named Leon (after ff2 traitor) after admitting to failing to save his home world from the heartless

Everything makes sense now!

I haven’t played A2 competitively in years and since 04 been focusing exclusively on ST, but this is wrong as matter of fact. Fundamentally there is some overlap but overall they’re apples and oranges for reasons that I won’t explain here because it’d derail the thread.

Sees everyone except the obvious few still posting popular opinions and behaving as if they’re edgy rebels and insecure nerds clicking the dislike/flag/LOL buttons like they’re going out of style.

These are real unpopular opinions:

-Rocket Knight is on the short list of best games from this generation

-Goldeneye was ass, sure it was GDLK in it’s day but only because most of us never played an FPS before it and were too young to notice it’s shitty hitbox collision

-Ninja Gaiden DS is the best entry in the franchise, sure it doesn’t have as much depth as the console entries but stylus sword combat is way more fun than pressing buttons

-Games, don’t have to be difficult or have depth to be fun, Sonic 2 is my favorite game ever and it’s easiness/simplicity never made it any less GDLK

-Repetition isn’t always a bad thing, critics are too close minded thinking a game sucks if it’s repetitive, if something is fun to do over and over again then that’s great, most old school games are super repetitive

-Racing games especially sims are boring, only fun ones are Mario Kart, Burnout, and Road Rash

-The Dungeons and Dragons/Lord of the Rings/Medieval setting has been done to death sure I love it but now it’s annoying, the sci-fi setting has much more room for innovation so it doesn’t get stale as fast, but still developers please think of new visual settings besides elves and space marines

-NES Mega Man’s are great, but still a little overrated the first 4 X games shit on them

-Sure the ‘AAA’ era of gaming has bred many problems that plague the industry, but it also bred dozens of GDLK games like Heavy Rain, Mass Effect, and Dead Space to name a few so overall big budget games have helped more than hurt

-Haven’t played it in 3 years but Smash Brothers Brawl is one of the most fun games ever, I prefer it over Melee because I never learned Melee and having to L-cancel everything takes away the casual appeal of beating up your friends

-Visual aesthetics matter almost as much as game play, no matter how fun a game is if it’s ugly as shit it’s a problem for me, conversely a mediocre game can become a lot more fun if the art style and atmosphere are appealing

-I grew up playing point and click adventure games on my older friend’s PC, I have an affinity for story based games even if some are ‘interactive movies’ as some of you call them, an intellectually and emotionally compelling plot in a video game can be just as powerful an experience as great game play

-L.A Noire is Rockstar’s best game

-Turn based RPG’s are boring I loved them as a kid but now taking turns while you have all the time in the world to decide what to do is poor design, enemies should be able to attack you and make you think on your feet

It’s ironic you say that because you’re one of the worst offenders, I can quote several of your posts that amount to “lol your opinion is inferior to mine”.

And clicking the disagree/LOL buttons are just as bitchmade as flagging.

In his and anyone else who has done its defense, I use the LOL button solely to denote agreement with a post.

I am right there with you on the “disagree” button clickers, though.

I didn’t take that into consideration, you have a point as I assumed clicking the LOL button in this thread denotes “LOL this guy what a dumb opinion”. I still stand by what I said though.

Oh I agree.

We’re evidently the sensible minority.

You, me, Vynce - that’s about it.

More people use SRK White, in all probability. :lol:

Yeah but her and Steve had nothing on Jin. Jin had more then just JFLS as well, you could actually SS the last hit even on a JF on block. Jin had a god like parry, 2,4, 2,1, solid lows and was just could do what he wanted when he wanted.

I like those little buttons. I think im the only one that uses them right though. If something makes me laugh, lol button. Better than me posting “lol thats funny”. If I disagree with something, disagree button. Better than me posting, “yo, I disagree with you”.

P.S. I dont know if this is unpopular, but its my opinion that mouse and keybaord is superior to controllers. Took me a while to fully adjust to it, but I have. At least in fps. The accuracy of the mouse and the speed you can turn around and shit is just too good.

Turbo Express was better than Gameboy.
