i wish you could play balrog like you could in SFII
so much more fun
HDMI is the worst thing that ever happen to gaming (and by extensions TV).
Composite, VGA and DVI are perfectly capable formats, all which can support 1080p video.
The Restrictions on HD video on non-HDMI input is purely software based due to current Bluray Disc/Blyray player Encoding.
HDMI cords allow for faster data travel that any DVI and VGA cord could not dream of doing, thereās a reason why HDMI is now the standard
thereās a reason why HDM is becoming the standard and soon to be something similar to appleās thunderbolt port
and besides that, HDMI is much easier to hook up than either DVI and VGA, especially for those who are not very good with technology (which isnāt any of usā¦i hope)
Not being able to play SF4 like I play SF2-3 is why I suck ass at SF4. xD
I donāt know. XBox One is looking pretty free.
Spoiler
B).
Super Mario World is kinda overrated IMO - that broken cape powerup and Yoshi killed much of the gameās difficulty. The Lost Levels is actually the best Mario game if you want a more focused platforming experience and in terms of raw level design, and it would be a perfect game if it wasnāt for those damn backwards warp zones and those annoying levels with springboards and wind.
Blazblue series has the best FG soundtracks
If I wanna playā¦ SF4 online for free my options are PS3 or PC. Iām not talking about that MMO crap.
Iām curious why everyone is so down on 8, itās just 7 with an annoying version of the start menu and from what I understand 7 was great.
I also love plus, but a large majority of the games are also on PC and playing 720p at 30fps is frankly heartbreaking knowing I have much better options available.
When 8 launched it removed long standing features that has been with Windows since the early days. Windows 8 is good if your using a mobile device. For someone like me who uses a desktop itās interface can go to hell. I still canāt get over the fact that Win 8 got rid of the start button on the taskbar.
Nigga, before you even joined we already had this discussion so you get a pass on that dumbass first part of your post. When we talk about unpopular opinions we are referring to unpopular opinions within SRK not the gaming culture in general as that would make this thread redundant. Clearly we need more āCoD sucksā posts, those are virtually non existant and that always makes for intellectually stimulating conversation while we are at it letās all say how much we donāt like angry birds.
As for the second part of your post I have to ask how much PCP did Wayne Brady force you to smoke? Because I made no mention of any Smash gameās responsiveness or speed I only said I had more fun with Brawl than I did with Melee because I didnāt spend a lot of time with it, so next time you quote someone try reading their post, it helps you not look stupid :tup:
As a hardcore film noir nerd, I was satisfied with how Rockstar Games and Team Bondi paid homage to the visual and thematic cores of the film noir genre when they could have easily just made a GTA clone with a 1940ās skin and called it a day. That being said it plays very similarly to GTA 4, but it also has a strong focus on making you feel like an actual detective Iād say 1/3 of the game is GTA style shooting, brawling, driving, 1/3 of the game is finding clues and solving cases, and 1/3 of the game is interrogating people at the precinct. The innovative facial capture technology is critical to the game because you rely on studying a personās face to see if they are lying or not so a game that relies on subtle body language is pretty badass. Also the L.A. in the game is an exact 1:1 modeling of what L.A. was actually like in the 40ās which Iām sure ate up a good chunk of that 50 million dollar budget and itās sad this last fact is mostly ignored or unknown by a lot of people. Also it is very clear immediately that GTA fans that just want to shoot civilians and fuck hookers all day will not like L.A. Noire you can kill innocent people, destroy property, and cause chaos in L.A. Noire like you can in any GTA, but there are repercussions in the form of having to pay for whatevr you destroy, including not obeying traffic lights, and getting low mission rankings, also running people over with cars or causing big chain reaction explosions in the streets is very hard to do even intentionally, the game is designed to discourage that mindless wreck shit style of play.
I give mad credit to Rockstar and Team Bondi not just for making such a masterpiece, but also for having the balls to make a game that in many ways the polar opposite of GTA. Most big publishers/developers wouldnāt dare make a game that could alienate their fanbase, but Rockstar took a risk with Team Bondi and it paid off :tup:
I wouldnāt say that at all, L.A Noire simply combined the strengths of GTA with the strengths of old school point and click adventure games, Iām sad there wonāt be a sequel.
What is gaming opinion on SRK anyhow? We like fighting games? The opinions on other games are probably all over the place so calling one unpopular seems difficult to do.
āHavenāt 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**ā
You never learned Melee does not equal you never played Melee much. It seems like you did play Melee quite a bit, enough to have a preference. What I was trying to point out that you may have missed in your hurry to attempt humor is that your opinion is flawed because even casual smash players are generally people that normally play games and ignoring any advanced techs Brawl is basically Melee underwater with random tripping movement wise.
Angry Birds Epic looks pretty sweet.
Brawl has playable King Dedede(the niggaās fall on his face attack is his dash attack!) and the greatest soundtrack in gaming. Fuck Melee 
Speaking of Rockstar. I honestly think Max Payne 3 is better than 2
This is gonna be my first comment here so i will make it worth it.
Unpopular opinion:
1)Super Smash Bros. Melee is the most overrated game(and posibly the most overrated thing) in the history of history,i love the game and i thing is better than Brawl in variuos things(like gameplay and some game modes that are better in this one) but the way that the smash community(specially melee faggots enthusiast) treast the game is just horrendus and discusting like it was made by Jesus or somehing and the way they hate Brawl make them look like Nazis, why i said this? because most of the reason they give to you are lies,very subjective or just plain stupid for example:
-āThe game doesnt have combosā: lie,it have combos,only few of them the have it.
-āThe game is bas because is slow/slower than meleeā: thats an opion,not a fact by that logic UMVC3 is the best FG of all time.
-āThe game is unbalancedā: melee is un balanced too,they tend to forget the āno items,fox only,final destinationā thingā¦that bring my nex pointā¦
-āMelee have a better roster/have more tournament usable charactersā: yes,a lot of people say this bullshit,the 35% of melee rosters are shameless-capcom style- clones of other characters and most of them are shittier versions of them(only dr mario and falco being better and equally good respectivily compared to their original model.The tournament-able characters thing is just BS,literally in melee tournaments we only see the same 5 or 6 characters,even with metaknight you can see alot more variety.
-āBrawl sucks beacuse is more defensive gameā: see reason number 2.
The worst part of all is that most melee fanboys/ brawl haters doesnt like project m because they to leanr more than 7 matchup and gameplay wise is not a carbon copy of melee(for the most part),they dont hate Brawl because of their flaws(obviously isnt perfect) they hate becasue is diferent,even if the new smash turn to be a better game than melee they will hate it.
Note: I respect if you dont like Brawl or even hate it if you have a valid reason(tripping,how cheap metaknight is,they remove your favorite game mode/type,the weird hit box some characters have etc etc) but please give a VALID reason,not BS.
2)Metaknight in Brawl is overrated,is broken yes,but some people act like is unbeatable.
3)Most Sony first party exclusive were over hyped by the press and a lot of gamers has hell with the sole purpose of pretend they like new thing and in some cases you use that has an argument to defend sony or talk shit about how uncreative nintendo is,they dont evenbuy those games,you can verify that by seeing the sales reports of those game,sony exclusive sell alot less than Nintendo and MS exclusive despite of Sony ones having better reputation,Tearaway is a prime example.
4)Sonic games(2d and 3d) are good gamesā¦but bad platformers: they are good āreach the goal gamesā but in matter of exploring,puzzle solving and platforming they suck,why you may ask? because the only thing you have to do in most of them is just go straight and dodge obstacles and enemys,you only jump in platforms if you want and in most of the cases if you try to explore is uncomfortable as fuck beacuse of the level desing,the only two sony platform games are soinc 1 and sonic andvance 1.
5)PSN+ is overrated.
6)WII has a good catalog.
7)Videogames will never be sports,NEVER(or least never if the industry dont implements some changes).
8)Dota2 needs the LoL HUD and control loadout to be perfect.
9)Team Fortress 2 is underrated(this is not unpopular but is uncommon).
10)MOBAS(or dota-style rts,beacuse that is what they are) arent the games that are more close to be and sports,Pokemon,FG and sports games are far more close to that.
PS: in from Dominican Republic so my english isnt that good,so please correct politely me if i made a grammatical error.
brawl literally doesnāt have combos outside of some stupid broken shit (grab release combos, infinite chain grabs), the hitstun is so low that YOU CAN GET PUNISHED FOR HITTING THE OPPONENT
brawl has a lot of things over melee but the competitive aspects of it are terrible compared to melee, there is almost no reason to go on the offensive due to the non-existent hitstun
brawl is more unbalanced than melee with metaknight allowed, if heās banned the character roster becomes a lot more balanced
brawl is a lot more boring to watch because of itās extremely campy nature (seriously, look at the top character, itās no coincidence that they are all very good at camping)
a lot of melee players like project M, but as many who like it, a lot dislike it, itās all up to preference
if you take metaknight out of the equation, the tournament rosters are roughly equal
metaknight isnāt unbeatable but heās still stupid as fuck, he has over 5 times the winnings as every other character combined since the games inception. itās seriously stupid
35% of the melee roster is not clones, only 6/25 characters are clones, so 24% of the roster is clones but they all play very differently from each other
project M started off as a copy of melee with brawl characters but expanded into being more than that, they kept some gameplay mechanics of brawl (like RAR and DACUS) but added a lot of what made melee great, itās more of a combination of the two than a melee clone
lrn2smash
At first I thought you were debating something about smash, and then we were talking about sonic games and PSN+ and Dota? I fucking lost it at āTF2 is underratedā.
I feel like itās cheating, since a lot of it is just remixes from the RPGās, but Iād probably have to put P4A towards the top. I think Tekken has the #1 spot though.
Its about unpopular OPINIONS,not just one.
There is a HUGE misnomer, Newer does not equal better. RBG video both at 15hz (arcade hardware and RGB scart) and 31hz (RGB HV or VGA) is a uncompressed format that has better color reproduction and less artifacts than Composite (3 RCA or BNC plugs with lumina and chroma separated).
Composite is in many, many ways superior to HDMI as there no encryption required, better color reproduction and the signal needs very little (or rather none) post processing to look its best.
Actually HDMI bring encryption to the table the other formats lack. HDMI does not allow for āfasterā data travel until you go pass the 1080p @60fps setting. 4k and 120fps (used for active "shutter 3D glasses) are the examples.
HDMI also allows for limited networking (version 1.3 and higher, Player and Display can transfer back and forth operational data and some internet data). Its unnecessary to have networking in a Audio video connector.
Also the HDMI format is a expanded version of the DVI format minus the Analog support (some DVI ports can support legacy VGA analog signals).
For 1080p video, Composite, VGA and DVI often does a much better performance than HDMI, which HDMI is subject to image post processing which produces input lag.
On displays that support VGA and DVI will bypass some image post processing reducing image lag. Have fun playing Street Fighter 4 with your +24ms of lag time.
