Come on man, how can you hate Super Mario Galaxy?
Windwaker and Twilight Princess are the best 3D Zelda games. I say this as someone who got Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask right when they were released.
Classic Sonic as a series is average at best compared to classic Mario games. Sonic as a mascot and character is lame as fuck.Oh man, my face is tingling just thinking about all the times I would go into that casino vault and just wreck scrubs with a shotgun and a couple of flash bangs.
The N64 is Nintendo's worst home console, the Gamecube is their best.
Half Life 2 wasn't that good as a game. The Source engine was/is way more valuable.
Rainbow Six Vegas is the best multiplayer shooter last gen.
i don't get the appeal of fatlus smt games. like the combat is fine for an rpg but not anything mind-blowing, and everything else is just kinda bland. is the appeal solely rooted in anime weeabism or is there something else I'm missing?

Half Life 2 wasn't that good as a game. The Source engine was/is way more valuable.It did one thing incredibly well: teaching the player how to play and where to go without explicitly telling them through floating arrows and endless repetition of 'hints' and such. Anything else they may have pioneered or done really well isn't really worth mentioning any more.
Controversial opinions?
Maybe this one: Mass Effect 2 > Mass Effect 1?
But mostly none, I am mostly mainstream and it feels good. Eff the hipsters.
Bioware has never been good and they entered a satanic pact or something when they made Baldur's Gate 2.

If by "this generation" you mean Xbone/PS4, the games are coming. But there's plenty of 360/PS3/PC.

The only SSF's i liked on XBOX360 was Guardian Heros. Everything else was trash.
What's coming for this gen?

You don't mean fighting games....you mean beat-em-ups. Guardian Heroes was a port from the Saturn, BTW. That's been an almost-dead genre for quite some time. Phantom Breaker Battlegrounds is coming to PS4 though.
Ninja Theory are incapable of making a good video game.
I can't stand most dungeon crawlers and roguelikes. I get really bored playing games where I can't actively look at my characters performing actions
Mega Man 1 is better than Mega Man 2.
Final Fantasy XIII is a good game. Final Fantasy is probably the only really good series left.
The Playstation Vita is the worst PlayStation system yet.
God of War games are trash and feature one of the most annoying protags in games.
3D Mario > 2D Mario.
Resident Evil games were always more action oriented from 2 on. That said they always still had horror elements even in the more actiony games(4, 5 and 6). The issue some had is that it was scarier when it had tank controls and they can't accept a game being more tense action wise due to the controls, which are far superior.
That said, the real horror game series was always Silent Hill. That series felt like the tank controls made more sense for it than it ever did in RE past the first one, as that series always felt like it tried to have more action but couldn't achieve what it wanted till RE4.
As much as I love Mortal Kombat, the only reason it ever sold more or got more popularity than Street Fighter was due to it being simpler to play and it having a style more appealing to the West. I hate God Of War, but same can be said for why it always sold more than Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden.
Games are as good as they always have been, if you only play AAA games you're not really into games as much as you say you are.
Phoenix Wright games are the best adventure games of the past decade.
Retro Castlevania > Igavania's. Symphony of the Night is fantastic, but every other one that tries to be it is decent at best.
Madworld, Vanquish and Bayonetta are peak Platinum Games. Other than Revengeance everything else is OK.
Nights Into Dreams is the most overrated Sega game. It's good but definitely not on the level the fanbase would have you think.
The love for Rare is almost all due to nostalgia. I've always hated that excuse but it definitely applies when it comes to Rare. The quality has been the same even with the move to MS the only difference is that the fanbase grew up.
The Wii is underrated simply because the Nintendo games were still good. And it actually had way better third party output than the Gamecube.
The Last Of Us, however, is boring. While the presentation is well done. It's a very cliched typical zombie story and I found the emotional core to be a bit hamfisted. While the gameplay was a big stepdown from Uncharted with weaker stealth and survival mechanics from much older games.
I wish 2D fighting games would go for better sprites over 3D models.
No, I actually am enjoying this. Haven't played Bayo 2 yet, really want to. But I still stand by MadWorld > Max Anarchy.

By the way speak for yourself Bork. That first RE when that goddamn devil dog jumps through the window about gave me a stroke.
None of the Resident Evil games were ever scary. It was always an action-oriented series with the puzzle-solving shit thrown in. You're not going up against supernatural stuff; it's bio-weapons gone bad. There's one legit scare in RE-- when the dogs jump through the windows in the first game.
Retro Castlevania > Igavania's. Symphony of the Night is fantastic, but every other one that tries to be it is decent at best.
AAA gaming is not THAT bad, compared to what I said before. there's enough good stuff to last you a while if that's all you go for, even if indie gaming has a lot more to offer.
Okami is a mediocre game that goes on too long and is held back by it's combat system.
Madworld and No More Heroes are probably the best games to use the wiimote. To the point where any port or successor found on other consoles suffered due to not having it.
The dualshock of old is better than the PS4 controller. I'd rather play with something I'm used to than something new with too much going on and shoddier hardware.
- Diablo III is so damn boring. Sorry bros. Even the more "action-oriented" console version made me sleepy.
bork... you are not garbage... stop acting and posting like one
God Hand was jank garbage and one of the worst action games I've had the pleasure of playing.

people say this because it didn't have an original mario but forget things like having two 2D metroid games, the good warioware games, etc. it probably has the best first party of any nintendo handheld.
GBA was the last worthwhile Nintendo handheldSo much right and so much wrong all in one post.
GameCube was the last worthwhile Nintendo home console
FFFVIII, FFX, & FFXIII were the best FFs from their respective eras
Ni No Kuni is boring garbage
Persona 4 is overrated

PSP > DS
Only Treyarch makes decent CoD games
N64 had no games
FFVII is more influential than SM64
Minish Cap is the best 2D Zelda
WW is the best 3D Zelda
Souls games have the worst fanbase imaginable.This is not possible while the Sonic fanbase exists.

- Indie gaming is largely a bust. 95% of the games fall into four categories:I don't have a problem with any of this post. :leon :mynicca
1) Twinstick shooters
2) 2D sidescrolling clones that are completely forgettable
3) Completely shitty and inane socially conscious game.
4) Shitty and shameless clones of existing games that were done better but with a stupid and shitty twist that was completely unnecessary
The only reason why these games got any hype is because they're buddies with game journalists. The purported innovation and creativity is non-existent. It's a bunch of hipster nerds sniffing each other's farts.
- Mobile gaming sucks ass outside of five minute fuck around sessions of puzzle games. The same dorks who were laughing at waggle are thumbing and pawing at their phone's tiny screen where their thumb takes up 30% of the screen space is hilarious.
- This is the last console generation as we know it. Even though sales are apparently up over last generation, it's not enough to offset the insane budgets. If you load up on indie games, you have to wonder why people can't just play on the PC instead. I predict that the Xbone is Microsoft's last console. The Xbox brand will continue but it will become a social media/online streaming platform. So you plug in a USB stick into a TV or a PC that connects to your wireless Xbox controller and let's you play various Xbox properties. Over time, the Xbox name will become increasingly irrelevant and by 2025, nobody under 20 will remember what an Xbox is. Nintendo will have a new console in a traditional sense. Sony will keep the PS4 going as long as possible and there won't be a PS5. The PS4 will likely last 8-10 years though so being done by 2022-2023 isn't that bad. Nintendo ultimately will win out in the end because they're able to continue to con 15-20 million adults with fond nostalgic memories of Nintendo, providing just a small enough niche to keep chugging along. Iwata and Co. will keep trying to recapture the lightning in the bottle they had with the Wii and will fail every time because their previous Wii audience isn't going to move away from their tablets and smartphones.
- The PS2 is the best console ever. It was a perfect blend of quantity, quality, and creativity that we will never see again.
- Bioware was shit, Bioware is shit, and Bioware will always be shit. Remember how their name got plastered on everything EA did in 2011-2012? Good times.
- I wish Tim Schafer fucked off forever. I almost got that with Brutal Legend but somehow he weaseled his way back into semi-relevancy.
- After 15 years of complacency, Nintendo has finally started to make good console games again. I guess losing hundreds of millions of dollars over several years will do that to you. The Wii U falling flat on it's ass lit a fire under Nintendo's. When Nintendo was making good money, they turned into the laziest sacks of shit ever. They will instantly go back to that the minute things turn around for them.
- I hate playing games online. I don't care to play against 13 year olds, autists who play the game 8 hours a day every day over the course of months, or anyone who has any kind of emotional investment in the game other than a minimal amount.

Far, far more of a game than The Order.

GBA was the last worthwhile Nintendo handheld-There are no worthwhile Nintendo Handhelds and if they are it's the 3ds
GameCube was the last worthwhile Nintendo home console-The GCN is terrible. The Wii has Xenoblade.
FFFVIII, FFX, & FFXIII were the best FFs from their respective eras-Sure, but thats only because there's only XIII, but XII and IX are great.
Ni No Kuni is boring garbage-Boring, but not garbage.
Persona 4 is overrated-P4 is still pretty good. The fanbase is the problem.
Vita > 3DS-The Vita sucks.
PSP > DS-Sure thanks to the PSP's incredible later years.
Only Treyarch makes decent CoD games-All the CoD's are the same to me.
N64 had no games-Star Fox.
FFVII is more influential than SM64-Don't care about SM64
Minish Cap is the best 2D Zelda-Don't give a fuck about Zelda
WW is the best 3D Zelda-All of Zelda is the same to me.
Modding Bethesda games is more fun than actually playing them.Nah. But playing modded Bethseda games is more fun than playing Bethseda games.
Ninja Gaiden (modern series) games aren't hard. [shrug]
But did you play those on Xbox and Xbox 360 or the Sigma versions? The latter are dumbed down, IIRC.
Killing dudes in games got old two generations ago. Would love to have a AAA game without gameplay 90% focused on killing dudes.

You kill in Zelda, same in Mario. :lol
Just cause it's more fantastical and isn't real doesn't change that. Hell, most killing in games is fantastical and not real as well. I guess you can not kill in most stealth games if you were going for a new kill run. But otherwise most killing has been a part of games as soon as games got popular.

"Primary game mechanic." You don't play Mario just to jump on Goombas. What's the reason to play Assassin's Creed? (Hint: it's in the fucking title, lol.)
I can see getting tired of genres, but beating enemies is a big part of a lot of genres, franchises, and styles.
That reminds me. Assassin's Creed is ass.You kill in Zelda, same in Mario. :lol

That's more to my point, AAA gaming should be more creatively diverse from that. Compare the diversity at the Oscars to any GOTY award show. It's time for gaming to grow up, and until it does the userbase won't.
Street Fighter sucks.
Mortal Kombat sucks.
Tekken Sucks.
Virtual Fighter is :lawd
The franchise with the most entertaining stories took the most badass character from the 80's

MGS is like the most "gamey" series out there.
People need to stop being ignorant idiots when they criticize the series.
The story is'nt shitty.
I wouldn't defend it that way, because I don't give a fuck what any of you actually think about the games. It's not bad. It's just as dumb as any over the top action story. No one is going to say MGS is as good as high literature or a really good movie. It's a fun series that occasionally has good enough plotlines and characters that are memorable and at least have a point to them. It's as good and entertaining as any normal superhero comic or national broadcast television show. No one seriously thinks it's high art. That's stupid. It simply was good enough to be interested in and care what happens.
The story is'nt shitty.
it's extra shitty. you don't have to defend it via the whole bla bla bla it's tongue in cheek or whatever. it's real real bad.
Honestly, I think only 1 and 3 have a chance of having their stories not be shitty. There were some silly elements but if you removed it, not that bad.

Tower Defense is the best genre. Especially any genre blends on it ala Sanctum or Orcs Must Die.
MGS3 is the goofiest one out of the bunch. Hornet man, spiderman, photosynthetic old sniper, flamethrower man, soul man, lightning man, and then finally the normal one. MGS2 has the same supernatural stuff, but MGS3 took it further.Come now, all those bosses wouldn't be out of place in a super hero movie. Let's not pretend that videogames are supposed to be like Shakespeare. At best they're like a super hero movie. If you take that into account, MGS3 isn't too far off the mark.
MGS1 still has the best voice acting in the series, best dialog too.
I agree with this. Ain't exactly a high bar, though.

Didn't they have a FTP version that sucked giant wangs? I didn't like the co-op focus in OMD2 either
I think the reason why some nerds want games to be considered art or on par with classic movies is so they can mentally justify why they wasted a significant percentage of the prime years of their lives on vidya.
Just own it. Don't try to intellectualize it by rationalizing how you spent your weekend nights as a teenager playing games instead of fumbling to try to get some girl's bra off at a bonfire party.
