Unpopular gaming opinions SECOND IMPACT

I turn off the analog sticks in third strike just for people like you. :arazz:

I actually prefer the 360 analog stick for fighting games.

i like the story and presentation in the persona games but what kills it for me is the grinding. in persona 2 i hated whenever i got a new persona id have to spend a bunch of time doing stupid shit in battles so i could level (rank?) it up.

im curious, isnt stuff like dashing (or…moving around in general) really hard? also in my experience sometimes you get a lot of inputs you didnt ā€œreallyā€ mean to do.

Same here…I can’t dash for shit when I use a analog in Third Strike.

And when I play Alex, I sometimes get EX DDT instead of EX Dash Elbow.

???

The only time I use analog in a game is for 360 characters.

next gen gaming sucks… there are only a handfull of good titles between all 3 systems
**
GTA 4 multiplayer (mafia work) is da shit but the online match setup is ass**

Xbox is a gimmic station to bring the multiplayer madness that PC’s have had for years to the door of the console gamer. Hence why fps’s are everywhere now

COD4 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Battlefield 2 or 2142

SF4 looks like shit…until you actually go play it, then ur face looks like shit cause u convinced urself youtube does the game any justice.

Metal gear solid 4’s gameplay is the best gameplay in gaming hands down

sure ST is the greatest…till you turn away from the tv and find out its the fucking year 2008

Third Strike is the greatest fighting game availble for purchase for your console of choice.

Tekken stopped developing its core combat system @ 4

Soul caliber 4 sucks

Namco isnt pushing for innovation in its fighters at all

EVO is a nerd fest…hey, even if i was good enough to go and win…i still wouldnt go, there is no bitches and its a sausage fest.

PC gaming > console gaming

code veronica was the last time i had sex wit resident evil…now shes washed up on meth

So I was looking at my old game collection and I came across a certain little title that reminded me of something: Legacy of Kain is(was?)one of the best series I have ever played. Period. The game I found was the original Soul Reaver title for the PS1. Instantly I was remembered of awesome boss fights, great puzzles and one of the greatest stories ever burnt into a disc. Sure, as a series, it’s had its up and downs, and Soul Reaver still remains the top game ever put out for the series, but man do I still love these games(I even got some enjoyment out of Blood Omen 2). I find the series criminaly over-looked, and whatever success the series may have had at first has been forgotten.

Sucks too because now Crystal Dynamics has been turned into a Tomb Raider medic and I sadly don’t ever see another title in this grand series. At least the story was mostly finished with Defiance.

I was also always of the opinion that the series’ lore and world has always lent itself wonderfully to an MMO, and I’d love to see it happen if it’s in the right hands.

I actually never played much of the later games, but I loved Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain. It was the first in the series, introducing us to the greatness that is Kain. I loved the voice-over work in that game…even when that guy names your items and spells: ā€œPentalich of Tarot…Inspire Hate…Control Mindā€. Kain ends up so godlike powerful it’s ridiculous…the enemies have to work hard just to have a chance at killing you…it’s funny. Kain had the Control Mind, teleportationback to home base via Sanctuary spell, the weapons, all kinds of magical abilities. He was far more powerful than the watered down vampires you see in movies.

It was also a great free-roaming style of game, at least to a certain extent…you could follow the main story…or you could just wander around killing monsters or innocent people.

Ohhhhh here’s what I would want---- Give me a new ā€œBlood Omenā€, with Kain and Raziel and others as playable characters…but rip off the Devil May Cry action/combat style of presentation. Go ahead and add a character creation so you could make your own super-vampire or vampire hunter badass to play the starring role. This would be so damn hot.

Ehh…I kind of agree, at least as far as combat goes. It was never the series strong suit and it could do worst then looking at DMC for inspiration, since the combat there is great. I wouldn’t want anything else like DMC, though, especially not the cutscenes. Not that I don’t like them IN DMC, they should just stay there.

As for creating your own character…again I’d rather see this in a online RPG of sorts, using the lore/world of LoK as a backdrop. As it stands, I wouldn’t care much WHAT the new title would be…as long they resurrect the series at one point.

everyone can agree, Its a transition generation (the devs are trying to integrate everything online). IMO we wont get insanely ill shit until 2010.

Im a fan on team deathmatch melee weapons on happiness island. :lovin:

FPS’s are everywhere because of the insane success of Halo: CE. A lot of Microsoft’s success is off of what use to be the PC gaming fanbase.

No

I have yet to play it, so I cant judge

Yeah, sure. why not :rofl:

Yeah, MGS4 is a masterpiece, although I liked MGS3’s settings and bossfights better

I agree, but I think the fighting game community as a whole accepts playing old games a little too much

SC1 gives it a run for its money

Im done with tekken

Nah, its the best one since the first IMO

The fighting game genre as a whole lacks on REAL innovation, because the minute you add a REAL innovation in it, then its not a fighter anymore.

Never been, but it can’t be any worse to the anime conventions or sneaker summits I’ve attended

Console has always been better because of affordability and the relaxation factor (nothing is more soothing than laying in a couch dumping a couple hours in streets of rage with your friend before y’all hit the mall)

CV is my favorite vintage Resident Evil, but 4 is just plain superior

Fucking stupid, BF2 is a loading screen with bugs where you have to whore out vehicles to do anything. Very different from CoD4 which is more of a fast pace pub game, all about infantry(and the occasional chopper/AS spam).

fuck tekken 6. why should i be excited for the new version when 6 isn’t even out in the u.s. except for in like 4 states? the hell is that?

fuck ffXIII. shit isn’t coming out ever. shit is dr. dre’s detox status. lol @ a playable demo sometime in march of 09. nigga please @ square enix.

tatsunoko vs. capcom looks like ass. it shoulda looked like blazblue.

sf4 looks like ass. it shoulda looked like blazblue.

yes, i know about the gameplay and alla that but thats not what i’m talking about. if it looks like ass it looks like ass. capcom has dicked us for years, it should be ok to criticize their games.

what else…new super mario bros. looks like ass. shoulda made it like megaman 9. music too.

mario enemies have been ass since 64. mario hasn’t had a good enemies since mario rpg.

both paper mario’s are ass. the last real mario rpg was mario rpg on the snes.

the greatest rare games are dkc1 and 2 so i don’t know why in the fuck they have made anything else (other than killer instinct).

the world needs another killer instinct. make it happen.

mario’s music has been ass since mario 64.

sonic cd was boring as hell and the music was ass.

ff needs to be turn based again. more rpg’s should be turn based. i don’t like all this action crap. if i wanted that, i’d cop a beat em up.

kingdom hearts is a beatem up with a story.

we need another kingdom hearts. not unpopular but whatever, i’m expressing ideas.

kingdom hearts shoulda played like mario rpg.

the whole next gen shit is ass. stop it. next gen to me is super nes to psx. after that it stopped. systems aren’t even being used like they should anymore. they aren’t milking everything possible out of the system before they move to the next one like they did with snes and psx.

we need another sega system.

+1 for Soul Reaver

I’m glad that franchise was put to rest when it was.

Eidos is shit.

The Dead or Alive Xtreme games are addictive.

4 was not a RE game.

-Strategy RPGs (ie Final Fantasy Tactics, Disgaea, etc.) all suck and are boring wastes of time.

-Megaman X1 is the BEST Megaman game period.

-The entire Final Fantasy series can suck my balls

-FPS games make me nauseous so they can also suck my balls. Especially Halo, what an overrated POS

-Marvel Vs Capcom 2 is a broken, overrated piece of shit! (But still fun for casual play)

-Tekken Tag > Tekken 3 > Every other Tekken

-Soul Calibur series sucks

-Smash Bros. is NOT a fighting game!

-Guitar Hero, Rock Band etc. Suck! On a related note, Beatmania rules!

-Namco killed the Tales series by releasing too many games

-Buying a new Madden every year is retarded! The improvements year to year are incremental and hardly worth the purchase price (same goes for all other sports games)

-There are way too many first-person shooters in market today! (Probably a government conspiracy to make the military/war look appealing to kids)

-GTA2 > the rest of the series (In fact, the rest of the series is shit in comparison)

-WoW is a piece of shit waste of time! (But it’s probably still the best MMORPG on the market)

-Nintendo Wii is a gimmick system with no real substance or appeal

-Greedy consumers wanting to live beyond their financial means are just as much to blame as greedy lenders for the US mortgage crisis (Sorry, I had to add this)

-Bringing Gouken into SF4 is stupid

-Storylines in fighting games are stupid. Characters are always being killed off only to be brought back in the future (see above)

-PC gaming > console gaming but seeing are slowly becoming more and more like PCs the point may be moot

-Next gen gaming is shit

-Dreamcast was the last great gaming system

-People that pick characters in fighting games based on tier (whether it’s people purposely playing only high tier characters or people purposely playing only low tier characters) are stupid little bitches! Play a fucking character that you like and stop picking high tiers to win and low tiers to look cool.

More to come as I think of it

Speaking of Dead or Alive, I think the whole series is awesome.

I’m sure I’ve posted this before somewhere, but I think it’s worth re-iterating: Shin Megami Tensei > Final Fantasy. By a lot. It’s not even close to me anymore. There isn’t a single thing bar the presentation that I prefer in a FF game over a SMT game. I can’t wait for a current gen version of the SMT games though, hopefully SMT4, following up on Nocturne.

Niggas need to stop judging off internet vids. That’s my gaming opinion.

blazblue doesn’t look like ass even in the worst quality youtube vid, so…
