Overwatch is overrated.

smash 4 is my least favorite smash. I really like some of the additions to the roster but I think that the physics are the worst in the series. Brawl is the best except for tripping.

Got to love super expert mode in mario maker.

Half Life 1 is better than Half Life 2.

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

Sonic games needs more characters.

Dark Souls is terrible. Not for being hard, but being slow, boring, tedious, repetitive, and uninteresting. The combat system has redeeming qualities, but the overall game design is exasperating and monotonous.

The Metal Gear Solid games have HILARIOUSLY terrible writing, and I genuinely love it. It's difficult for me to understand the subset of pseudo-intellectuals who praise its deep narrative. I'd say it's 15% legitimate drama and character with 70% being something I'd expect to see in a blatant parody and the remaining 15% are psychological and scientific fallacies. I actually enjoy the stories, though, for how much they genuinely make me laugh, and I'm not talking the "ohohoho, I'm so far above you, pleb. I derive pleasure from how stupid you are" I mean the "HAH! That's genuinely fucking genius! ...they're serious? Well, I still think it's funny."

Classic Final Fantasy's turn-based combat is, from what I can tell, objectively shallower than most other combat systems. It allows for less and requires less of the player. My best guess as to why people still continue to praise it is nostalgia, but I honestly don't know. All I know is, it's way past its expiration date, and it's time to let go.

Pokemon got stale at Black and White. That gen is by far my least favorite. Also, what's with the praise for the game's recognition of pokemon being used as slaves? Wasn't that theme brought up in gen1? Seriously, that same line is used to criticize the Rockets, almost verbatim. The theme just came at the proper time for the audience in B/W, so everyone glomp'd on the hype train, minds drunk with mutual self-assurance.

Paper Mario Sticker Star was actually pretty fun. Super Paper Mario was great as well. (Popular opinion: the Thousand Year Door is the best in the series!)

Always play contra alone.

I don't give a shit about open world games. It was an interesting concept when there were a just few big ones. The whole you can do whatever you want concept is stale now and IMO wears off in general when you play a game that's actually worth putting focus into to. It's overdone to hell now and I don't think there's anything unique about most of them. The only open world games I can actually say I've enjoyed are the Fable games (really like the impact of your actions, and that they're a lot less serious than games of the same genre), Morrowind, Oblivion, and the Xenoblade games.
Weeb comments incoming.

Star Fox Zero is a damn fine game, so is Star Fox Assault. Adventures doesn't deserve the hate it gets either, though for different reasons.

I preferred Super Paper Matio to TTYD (SPM and PM64 are my equal-favourites).

Final fantasy IV > Final fantasy VI > Final Fantasy ViI

I 100% agree _b

Valid opinion. Sometimes it's a constant struggle trying to decide if Super Paper Mario or TTYD is better....

EDIT: At least for me it is.

Oh, trust me, TTYD is pretty damn close.

Also, very unpopular opinion: I loved Skyward Sword and I didn't mind the motion controls or Fi. Twilight Princess is my least favourite console Zelda game.

I never really liked Final Fantasy IV as much as VI, but the remake was a very good game.

It really is a shame that VI didn't get a DS remake :/

I haven't even played Skyward Sword yet . However, I actually hear it's pretty good. Wait...

Spoiler: Click Me!

Or just a proper remake. I would buy a full FFVI remake over the upcoming cut-in-parts FFVII anytime!
