Controversial Gaming Takes!

[Pixel]

Not all of us play vidjagaims, but for those of us who do, we all have our opinions that not everyone agrees with and we don't always agree with people's opinions. Sometimes, we like to be vocal about that, in my own case when someone is being a particularly large mark over something.

The rules of the game are simple.

I'll drop the first title. 

The next user shares an unpopular opinion about something involving that title, being the quality, about characters, gameplay, etc., Whatever they might have to say that could make some people upset. That user then shares the next title, the next user comments on it, shares another title, and so on. 

Series can not be generalized, it must be specific titles.

Nothing wrong with debates, but let's stay civil about it, shall we?

THE FIRST TITLE -

HARVEST MOON 

 

[Minorikawa]

Oof, assuming you mean the SNES title since you said specific titles and not series, you picked a tough starter. For me, at least. I'm super nostalgic for that one.

Hrm...

Hot take: Anne the Red-Head is the only worthwhile romance interest. Fight me.

Alright, next title:

BioShock!

[Pixel]

While it was a unique and artistic masterpiece with impeccable design, atmosphere and moral ambiguity in the masterfully told story, BioShock played like a woman in labor screaming about how much she hates her husband.

Next title:

God of War 3

[Quotation]

The third game in the God Of War series had great gameplay mechanics and unforgettable music, but the story was incredibly lacking and heavily relied on the other games to support it’s narrative. While the characters are fun and memorable, they will spout lore that you didn’t even know happened without playing the side games. 

Next title:

DOOM 2016

[Minorikawa]

Excellently designed combat with wonderful arenas that nonetheless manages to overstay its welcome. It'd have been better if it was two hours shorter.

Next title:

Super Smash Bros. Melee

[Pixel]

The game was too exploitable and is best left in the past. Melee die hards are the Star Wars purists of the Smash Bros fanbase.

Next title: 

Ninja Gaiden (Xbox, original release)

[DragonneRPG Deactivated]

The only thing that can be said is: HARD. AS. BALLS. Oh wait, it's not an unpopular opinion, just a fact. Does it still count? 

Final Fantasy 7 (Original PS1 release)

Final Fantasy 7 (Original PS1 release)

Amazing in many regards, a stepping stone for RPGs as we know them today. That being said, it was like Moby Dick. It was boring as fuck and Sephiroth was an underwhelming antagonist.

Next title:

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

[DragonneRPG Deactivated]

It has much more interesting stories than Ocarina of Time, even if the gameplay is a bit shit at times.

Blood (BuildEngine shooter from the 90s)

[Minorikawa]

That game's so garbage I haven't even heard of it!

Next title:

Undertale

[DragonneRPG Deactivated]

Blood is considered one of the best BuildEngine shooters but I hated it because of insane difficulty. XD

Never played Undertale, never will. It just looks like a weird, quirky indie game that's overhyped by its fans.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

[Minorikawa]

Better than the new movies, worse than The Mandelorian, and such a poor mish-mash of Dark Souls, Metroid Prime, and Tomb Raider.

Speaking of:

Tomb Raider (2013)

[Pixel]

Somehow Tomb Raider managed to come full circle by imitating Uncharted, which imitated Tomb Raider in the first place, essentially imitating itself but some how wasn't as good at it.

Next title:

Metal Warriors

[DragonneRPG Deactivated]

Contra with weak sound effects.

Myst (90s PC point'n'click)

[Pixel]

Look at me, I can point and click! This is.... This is... Fun, right? It's really, ah.... It's really stimulating the, uh... The ol' noggin... *Exits game in ten minutes, swears to come back later, never does*

Next title: 

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
