Uncharted 2’s multiplayer was the shit, fuck I loved playing that. I wish that’s an online community that sees an online resurgence. We see it with other games, I’d hop on board.

RDR2 is one of the worst games of all time. It controls like ass and the insta fail on rails mission design is so fucking bad

I don't understand how people still aren't sick and tired of Souls games and the like. I thought Demon's Souls(PS3) was kinda neat and I bought Dark Souls when that came out, and I've been tired of hearing about these games since about two months after Dark Souls came out. I was enjoying the game well enough but I became embarrassed to play it after seeing so many people shitting their pants over a game that asks them to dodge and then attack, as if it was some kind of incredible revolution.

Ghost of Tsushima is a beautiful game with a few unique elements and a good main story. But as an open world adventure game it's just ok and not all that different from the typical open world formula. People want it to be the best game ever but it's not a lot different from the average Assassins Creed game. I don't think it deserved any GOTY nominations because it just wasn't that special.

It was overrated in this forum as a group response to the success and quality of TLOU2. People needed a backup game to rely on. Insecurity is a bitch.

Horizon Zero Dawn has weak characters, dialogues, quests and the open world is pretty bland. Could not get motivated to do any side quests in this game.
I was always thinking the very same thing, but never wanted to share that because I know how people would receive and react to that.
( I still think Ghosts of Tsushima is a wonderful game and all deserves praise, but it was pretty obvious why a homogenous game set in japan gets so much forced love during that time on certain websites )

It's the same third person cinematic game we've been getting for the last 10 years. Gaming really only has 3 genres now: team based hero shooter, fortnite, 3rd person cinematic game.

I guess I can admit this here.
I disliked every Souls game I tried and bloodborn was terrible. This is from a massive PS fan.

This like million times, there is such a few notable tracks in the video games. Hans Zimmer style fucking sucks.
For me Silent Hills, ORI, Mass Effect and Metal Gear Revengeance, Shadows of the Dammed is top tier shit. There is very little melody, just overcomplicated shit without ounce of creativity, just going by the musical rules so it "sounds" and that's it. It has no emotion, no progression, no nothing.
Also Nintendo should just die, we were laughing and mocking MS for Xbox One and their super fucked policies, yet Nintendo gets free pass on everything. At least here, it's the worst gaming company, etc. I have a lot of hate in my heart for that, now that I am consultant for Switch with nVidia compute, so it can....well can....so it will even lauch KCD and I despise Nintendo fanboys asking me and my friends to do another impossible port. The game is going to look and run like shit, Cryengine is last engine to be ported to this portable calculator. So yeah, Nintendo not even once.

I feel like sometime around the 2010 onwards most people forgot the meaning of the term "troll"
Not only that, but what sense does it make to call someone a troll and then argue with him? the whole point of identifying a troll is to ignore it since he is feeding on your attention, SMH.

I really really don't like the style of Korean mmorpgs at all. It doesn't feel like gaming, but more like a series of endless boring 2nd-job tasks. Graphics always look nice, but they have never felt like a 'game' to me. But it's gotten me labled as racist or close-minded. I really did try to like some of these games, but it just leaves me drained and miserable.

Only speaking for myself, I love that game because I do, not because I want to use it as ammo against TLOU2.

People only liked Demon Souls because you die a lot in them so you can brag how much of a pro gamer you are. The difficult feels super gimmicky in a vein attempt to hide the fact that the game is actually rubbish. Replaying the same segment over and over again isn't fun at all. Haven't played any Dark Souls game or Bloodborne so I can't comment on those. And no I don't hate hard games I only hate bad games.

I agree with you here, and Demon's Souls was my first souls game. I find Dark Souls to be the best one simply because of its awesome world, and the pace of the game is just right for me.

TLOU has pretty good gameplay, but terrible story and even worse characters and script. It is obvious that the ppl who wrote it have no idea about real hatered and how difficult life can be when you come from the lower ranks of society. Abby looked grotesque and it is disguising that they showed her half naked at the sex scene, also no way any heterosexual man would be attracted to her. At least it was believable that she can fight through all the enemies contrary to Ellie...
Ghost of Tsushima was a good game, but had huge design flaws regarding camera handling and fights on elevation and still has game breaking bugs. It doesn't deserve any goty awards at all, but I'd recommend friends playing it, it1s good but it's far from as good as it is made to look.
Also visually is pretty because of the use of colors and nicely set up play of light effects, but when you look at the models many are low poly ugly looking and many textures are low res, and the facial animations look like they are from a previous decade...
Breath of the Wlld is a very simplistic game fro children in all regards (gameplay, visuals, activities and conversations) and is a disgrace that it has been compared to the Witcher 3.
Kojima is hugely and annoyingly overrated.
In general Japanese 3d game's animation is absolute crap. They make amazing 3d models with superb details but the way they animate looks worse when you play with fucking stick figures...
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is an absolute downgrade from the previous entries, and is at best on a mobile game level.

tbf though, videogame music needs to serve the games more than it needs to be just standalone songs.
Stuff like having to act as background noise, not being allowed to draw too much attention from the player in a lot of moments, or just having to follow the game's pacing rather than having its own, etc, etc, etc.
Then people remember them fondly because it reminds them of the game and moments they liked.
For example, in Nier Automata, one of the things that make this particular song memorable isn't in the song itself but rather the fact its sincronized with the boss fight:
or shit like this:

Agree on Metal Gear solid story wise. Still the best in the series. Gameplay wise, MGSV takes it for me but it’s the worst story of the series. I’d rank Peace Walker as close to the original though in overall experience, (except the Boss AI part which was kinda dumb). It was the best game on PSP.

This is complete bullshit. Even ignoring later generations, the PS2, GameCube and Xbox all had a bunch of fantastic and exclusive titles.
Also, we already have this thread. An almost 400 page long one, no less https://www.neogaf.com/threads/raise-the-flame-shield-your-controversial-gaming-opinion.459297/

I genuinely think that both Super Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time are shitty games that were bad when they were released, and have both aged horribly. Especially compared to the timeless and wonderful 16-bit Mario and Zelda games. Well, the 8-bit games as well.
I've really, really tried to like them many times over the years but no.
Also, I think the Dreamcast is by far Sega's worst console and one of the worst consoles ever released.

God of War gamers were better before the reboot.
Most Sony exclusives are overrated to me. At least the ones that follow the same formula as the Uncharted games. I haven’t played Ghosts of Tsushima but that one looks pretty decent and I’d like to play it eventually.
Bloodbourne wouldn’t have gotten nearly as much attention if it wasn’t an exclusive.
The Souls formula on the whole is stale. Still looking forward to Elden Ring.
RE8 didn’t need to be an RE game.
Doom Eternal didn’t need to be a Doom game.

I think many on here forget what a controversial opinion is lol
Disliking a popular game isn't a controversial opinion, its freaking human...a controversial opinion would be something that goes against the moral majority or is taboo.
There has NEVER been a great 3d Sonic game, there has never been a good Sonic 3D games and Sonic Team (and Sega for that matter are talentless hacks at this point!
Or
Druckman has the writing chops of a 16 year old kid who went to thier first psychology class lol. Everything he's had a hand in writing has been cringe inducing at best
And finally
Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart is a disappointment for the mere laziness of making Ratchet and Rivet play identically rather than take a risk and make each better at certain attributes or capabilities I suspect to try to avoid offending anyone (coming from a lifetime R and C fan FYI)
People these opinions don't make us Fanboys or anyting, they make us Gamers they make us consumers too many people today blindly follow companies there's nothing wrong with having criticisms were concerns that's what used to happen in the marketplace and what didn't just happen but would be encouraged

I think Ubisoft is fucking awesome. I love the ass creed games, Farcry, The Division etc. I think they get way too much shit. Even games like Fractured But Whole and Kingdom battle are great. Speaking of Kingdom Battle, isn't it funny that Ubisoft showed more love for the lore and characters than Nintendo?

Holy crap! You may be winning me over due to how right you are about far cry 2 and doom3. I love both of those games so much more than what came later. Perhaps I should give mankind divided a shot. I loved human revolution and the only thing that kept me hesitant about MD was the supposed unresolved cliffhanger of an ending it supposedly has. Would you say you had close with it's conclusion?
Addendum: black flag is the only assassin's Creed game I will ever complete and I'm happy to be done with the franchise since I have.
Back on topic, my controversial opinion would be that I still feel drained when hearing anything to do with the switch. It still hurts how sony f*cked up what they had with the vita and frankly it's still my number 2 console until it inevitably dies as all electronics eventually do. Rant over

I'm sick and tired of woke colture.
At first I thought it was ok and even supportive to see games and movies get a bit more inclusive. After a while though these maniacs have become destructive and insufferable.
The worst offender is obviously Netflix, but I see the influence into games, with plenty of games coming out censored and toothless, unless it serves it's woke ideology.

STOP making fun of us man. There is NOTHING childish about playing Kirby in your 30's.Nintendo games are for little kids
My "controversial" opinions:
- The Last of Us is generic trash in every way. I can't believe ot is considered one of the "best games ever".
- Sony have lost their way. They're more worried about making cinematic experiences than actual video games that focus on gameplay.

Dark souls 2 is the best in the series (but all are great)
Death stranding is one of best games ever and would be even better without mules and BTS interrupting walking.
Fallout 3 is better than new Vegas.
Horizon zero dawn it's terrible past half point.
Uncharted 4 is the best one.
Tlou2 is way better than 1.
Ratchet 2016 is terrible. Rift apart fixes gameplay but story and characters are yeah sure to lack of edge
Gta 4 is easy better than 5 with it's trash story and stupid 3 way characters.
I could go on
