Super Smash Bros. series is not noob friendly nor a party game.

...or at least my attempts with it and friends. At least Brawl and Ultimate are quite frantic and hard to follow for newcomers, and if there is even a single better player, the rest are not going to have much fun. I've never been able to play the game with friends more than a half an hour or similar until we've given up and began playing something else. I myself played Melee alone or with my brother quite a lot, but also gave up almost immediately after my high school friend just juggled me around with Sheik.

You mean with the stylus or Dpad? They changed the software for the Dpad controls. They are ok and it is playable with stylus, too.

-Thought so too
-Obviously; too bad we are a minority due to lack of exposure (besides the early Red Steel and CoD3 which had few controls options) and patience. Most people didn´t even know about fixing the screen position via holding a button (see Metroid in NintendoLand - though here it is the opposite: hold a button to move the camera)

I really liked dpad controls, didn't feel very comfortable with the stylus though but I can see people getting used to it, I played tons of Prime Hunters with the stylus.

And yeah, it's pretty sad that we were mostly ignored. Even when MW3 came out, there weren't that many players on the Wii compared to other consoles. Still had tons of fun though.

Not a party game in the sense of friendly to new players, indeed. In no other fighting game is staying on the stage as difficult and button mashing as useless.
However, it is the best party game if there is a reasonable challenge for everyone and a base-line skill of every participant.

"Zone of the Enders" game/demo that was soo good that left an empty hole in your heart - but you never did fulfilled it. This is definitely 90's "sad" type of fantasy, but hell, it was a good one. Look Neverinth on steam. Player SADNESS is equal to TV show Firefly…. it is dead....

Not sure if it was already posted, but I just played Dark Souls for the first time and the gameplay is horrifically bad and clunky. Not sure how anyone who is used to playing ultra-responsive, 1st person PC games can touch this garbage. Tried it with both a gamepad and mouse, and it sucks either way.

Plenty of PC games like Dark Messiah of Might & Magic had great melee combat, so there's no reason for Dark Souls combat to be so clunky and terrible. It's like they designed the game poorly on purpose then pretend it's a postive feature.

Halo 4 is the second-best game in the series so far. Right behind Halo 1.
And as a bonus unpopular opinion, original Halo 3 sucked. Only now after getting 1080p, 60FPS+ gameplay and networking patches it's finally decent.

Halo: CE for PC (original release) was very average, at best. I had never played a Halo game before, so I tried the first one, and it felt very generic. The vehicles drove very sloppy, the enemies were just bullet sponges that would die whenever they feel like they've had enough, and the backtracking... OMG, the backtracking... I couldn't even beat the last level where all the explosions are going off all under and around you because the stupid warthog kept getting stuck in the tunnel, and I'd always run out of time. But it was a solid 6 out of 10. Not shitty, but nothing special either. Very generic shooter. This was an unbiased opinion of the game, from a franchise I had never played before.

Here's a currently relevant opinion:
Demon's Souls remake broke the atmosphere of the original and looks worse for that.

Also I noticed that the most popular opinion of this thread is that open world games are boring.

Oh and Zelda CDi games should be considered cannon and added to the official timeline.

never played halo, but apparently, the pc port was pretty bad, mostly graphical glitches, like normals not loading where they should, but microsoft basically based all rereleases on the pc port due to the netcode being better, though from what you are saying the xbox version would give you the same issues you describe, maybe bring it up to a 7/10 at best

Dragon Ball Z: Tenkaichi 3 is praised as the best DBZ game ever made, but truth is, is that it's just Tenkaichi 2 with 160 clones and the controls are.. mash them buttons!

It's a fun game and that's it. Nothing really impressive.

Typical for Spike Chunsoft.

The most impressive thing about Tenkaichi 3 is the prices that it goes for now. lol
