Unpopular gaming opinions SECOND IMPACT

:rofl:

Once upon a time, I almost bought a 360. Then I threw away my batch of stupid juice and we are where we are today.

The real kicker is actually that XBL Gold and PSN are pretty much exactly the same in terms of functionality. Yes, I do use both on a regular basis. The only “benefit” you get from XBL is the placebo effect of its price making you think it’s better than PSN’s free equivalent.

Oh, and let’s not forget that the 360 also requires that massive power block, which is prone to breaking and cannot be bought separately, is not cross-compatible over different 360 models, and heats up like it’s on fire. Then, the console itself takes fucking 50 years just to boot the fuck up when you press the power button, and once it does, it sounds like a fucking jet liner.

I had to pay $100 for that wireless networking adapter. A very overpriced piece of equipment. But at least it worked and the functionality was great.

Just sayin’…when even Nintendo has wireless…

Can we please get back on the subject of GAMES. Damn, yall took this striaght to a PS3 fanboy meeting (maybe its some of my fault).

What ever happened to actual spilt screen play. Like really, is it going away because people are anti-social? I mean, I got the consoles and such, but when I want to play a multi-player game, we are often stuck to the same choices. Man, if you have a four controller system, damnit use them. They are taking the one thing away from consoles that was a bit of fun.

I was just thinking the same thing a few days ago. Split screen play has been stepped on by the PS3 and 360. I honestly miss the days of solid co-op play with a friend on the same console. It’s kinda ridiculous to look on the back of a game box and see: “1 Player, 2-32 Online”

to be fair, the thread title does say unpopular gaming opinions, which if interpeted literally, doesn’t limit it to just games alone, can also relate to consoles and PC as well. There was also a little pokemon orgy which contradicted the thread title, because as you know pokemon is popular and being pro-pokemon = popular gaming opinion, which meant it had no place in this thread unless they were talking about tier listing of whats not accepted etc because then that would make it an unpopular gaming opinion.

well, unpopular regarding Pokemon then: The only cool thing I ever saw regarding Pokemon was Mewtwo. …and the fact that Misty was a hot piece of jailbait animated ass that Ash SHOULD’VE been trying to hit but couldn’t because it’s a kids’ show of course. Everything else was lame. Give me something with real-time action and I might’ve cared at some point.

I thought Monster Hunter was ok back in the day…but even there, the turn-based “action” really pissed on the experience for me. Watching a game play a combat sequence by itself with very little input from me is not my idea of “fun”, and it doesn’t really count as “great gameplay”.

Those games were awesome and had the best graphics on PS1 imo.

The only things Xbox Live has on PSN are more people (aka racist 12 year olds), Pac Man CE, and Castle Crashers. Also, every time I start my brother’s 360 up it sounds like the evil furnace from Home Alone. I am afraid to put discs in it lol.

nah dude the Playstation d-pad is fail too.

Playstation d-pad = can hit all directions but rapes your thumb with blisters
Xbox 360 pad= can’t hit anything but no thumb rape. This was a suprise as the non-fat Xbox 1 pad had a good d-pad.
Genesis/Saturn d-pad = nirvana. The Saturn 3d pad also was the best analog controller ever.

May was better Jailbait, Misty looked like she was balding at age 14. :rofl:

The 24 hours plot about X5 pisses me off. Also i used to be a big Zero fan back when X-5 came out. I’ve been wanting to use the Z-Buster since I saw it in the first MMX. Only to find out it was a piece of shit. When it came to the gameplay X-5 really isnt that bad. I wasnt as game smart back when X5 came out either. A lot of the stages in X-5 confused the hell out of me.

I just didnt like X6. X7, I try my hardest to forget that abomination was even formed in someones thought process.

No there is no question XBL is considerably better then PSN. By considerably I mean by leaps and bounds. The one thing PSN has that I like is you can just pay for the actual amount of the game or item you want instead of buying points. I fucking hate points.

This thread has just turned into another XB360 vs PS3 fanboy circle jerk thread with both sides looking like huge fucking retards.

I literally only bought a 360 for one reason:

Dat Rock Band.

I have it set up to a ethernate cable so I don’t have to fuckin’ pay an extra $100, and I don’t have XBL. I just download a fuckton of songs and play the shit outta them. Literally, I have other games for my 360 but I will never fnid myself playing those over Rock Band, Brawl, or fuckin’ Kickle Cubicle for the NES.

I’d say that buying either system is a waste of a fuckton of money.

i just might quote this again a few times down the line :rofl:

damn, i’ve got too much sparetime at the moment.

  • Yoshi’s island for the SNES is one of the best games for that system and it’s one of the tightest platforming games there is. oh, what some other guy said, it’s better than super mario brothers 3.

-Yoshi’s island DS is also a tight platformer with great gameplay, but the multiple babies are a little hassle imo. (i don’t know how much of a unpopular opinion that is, but hey…)

-The PSX controller with analogue sticks are probably the worst controllers ever. they’re too fucking small and doesn’t even lie comfortably in your hands. the only worse is the n64, the jaguar, the dreamcast and the o.g. xbox one.

-The gamecube and x360 controllers are the best out there and their placement of the left analogue stick correspond more correctly with your hand than the psx’ placement does.

-the new 2d fighters coming out right now, with the exception of KOFXII and STHD, doesn’t even catch my attention.

-Virtua fighter matches are boring to watch

-The DS beats the shit out of the PSP, not by having two screens, but just because of it actually having interesting games. if the ds had graphics like the psp, or some that resembled it to some degree, the PSP would be a dead horse.
the internetbrowser and musicplayer of the psp sucks aswell.

-Super Mario 64 DS is imo a shitty game, because you never get the option of playing the original game. and i don’t give a fuck about playing as either luigi or wario AND YOSHI SHOULD’VE BEEN ON THE TOP OF THE ROOF DAMMIT! NOT AS A PLAYABLE CHARACTER! dammit.

-anyone playing a version of tekken in the pal region without the option of playing in 60hz (tekken 1, 2, 3, ttt and 4) and saying it’s fun are complete idiots. they are most likely retarded.

-i prefer the n64 over the psone despite it having a crap controller.

-Banjo Kazooie 3 will probably suck. big time.

-chrono trigger is probably the only S-enix port i’ll ever give a fuck about. that and Mario RPG which i find much more funny and interesting than anything other they’ve got.

All this pro-PS3 talk is making me want a PS3. When does Little Big Planet come out?

This is very true. I loves me some Link’s Awakening, but really, the only OMGWOW thing about it was the intro scene and the fact that you could jump. Also, quarter-circle swing < half-circle swing.

LOL @ what my posts regarding the 360 started dear lord:rofl:

Like I said all 3 systems have their pros and cons and thank greedy ass devs and pubs that most good games are multi platform. But in terms of pure replay value the best of what each system has to offer or will have to offer by early 09:

360-cod4
ps3-killzone2
wii-brawl
pc-sc2

I don’t know bout the rest of you but I WILL be playing the shit out of these games for years to come especially sc2 but all 3 systems and pc have a lot to offer so you can’t lose out no matter which you pick…except wii runs away =P

Anyways what is with the disagreement between zelda games? Everyone is titled to their own opinion and I know when it comes to games people are kinda well you know:rofl: But I tought OOT being one of the best games of all time and easily the best zelda was something all gamers could agree on without dispute…guess I was wrong. Speaking of zelda am I the only one who thinks oracle of seasons and ages are better then links awakening? (yes including the DX one lol.)

The general consensus is usually split between Ocarina of Time and Link To The Past as the best Zelda games. Windwaker and the Oracle games can’t touch that shit.

link to the past is too epic to fuck with

-Looking back on the days I suffered playing through FFXI, the only cool Beastman race were the Yagudo. Kickass bird warriors and the only ones in the mainland that could have ninjas or samurai, they looked badass holding giant katanas.

-Megaman Star Force is essentially like being one of the kids from the fourth season of Digimon, where they fused with a Digimon spirit to become one. I find it more acceptable as a Digimon clone because it’s more understandable than Rockman.exe’s concept of CROSS FUSION, where the character fused with his program to become a… it’s starting to hurt my brain to even describe it!

-Ash and friends would be SO fucked if they ever followed the Pokemon games’ law of giving/receiving money to/from opponent trainers if they lost/won.

-Ash and friends would be SO fucked if they ever followed the Pokemon games’ law of getting through a gym leader’s gym: complete with beating down all the trainers AND getting through the puzzle associated with the gym.

-Ash would get SO angry if you used a potion or Full Restore on your Pokemon during a battle… I say “FUCK YOU” to his face.

-There needs to be an Elite Beat Agents 2 game, like NOW. I mean, they have Ouendan 2, so why no love for Agent J and friends?

-Kefka would beat down both Sephiroth and Ultimecia, hands down.

-The farther in the future the Megaman RPGs get (Battle Network and Star Force), the stupider/flashier the clothes have to be.

-I hate Tempest Keep.

-More games should give you the ability to beat up Government officials and Senators, a la Disgaea.

Can’t stop, won’t stop, Rocafella Records
’Cause we, we get down baby, we get down baby

I’m pretty sure he can’t beat Ultimecia. Absorption of everything in the goddamn universe through all timelines > ultimate magic power (I think that’s what Kefka got).

Makes you wonder how the fuck did she even lose in the first place…:wtf:
