Netstorm was one of the most fun RTS games ever made and everything about it was beautiful. I don't know if this is "unpopular", but I never hear anyone mention it so I think it qualifies.

Mario Party, every single game, is a wet dumpster fire, encapsulated in a frozen bubble of pure time, and dropped into a black hole of fun. There is absolutely nothing appealing about multi-player couch-competitive gaming that revolves around terribly designed mini-games. I know people in their late-20's and 30's who still have CALLUSES on their loving PALMS from N64 controllers from Mario Party... Mario Kart 8 rules is the best cart racer since Crash Team Racing, with Diddy Kong racing being a CLOSE 3rd, but the actual best cars game is TWISTED METAL: BLACK. If the opening hook from Rolling Stone's "Paint it Black" doesn't immediately get your blood pumping and fill your mind with images of flaming clown skulls and Calypso's weird dead eye and Dollface's semi just body slamming a pick-up truck into a bed of spikes then you don't know what real fear is. Rock & Roll Racing has the only cool cast of car game characters besides Twisted Metal Black (although Cel Damage was very fun, I can't tell you anything about any of the characters, except one of them was a sexy lady) Streaming/LPs make absolutely no sense as a way to spend you're time (Doing them or watching them) and I think anyone who is into them just MUST be super bad at video games. I think once in a blue moon someone like goonlord supreme AccountingNightmare will post LPs of her playing very hard games extremely well and explaining how she's doing what she's doing, and you can really take your game up a notch from watching them, but this is basically a tutorial at that point. I tried watch popular streamers for 10-15 minutes on recent games and they are so unbelievably bad and get stuck on such ridiculous poo poo that my blood boils instantly and I just have to start playing ANYTHING to get the taste of "being bad at vibeogames" out of my mouth. Kids love it, they watch people play minecraft and pokemon and watch it like cartoons and I can, like, almost see that, but if you are old enough to play a game and would rather watch a game, you have to be either bad at video games yourself or were a little brother/sister growing up and as such are used to "playing video games" just meaning "watching someone else play video games". Then there are the people who think that they will illicit the timeless magic of MST3K... But with VIBEOGAMES and there is literally one or two dudes doing it professionally and Yahtzee can barely manage to eke 5 minutes of that style of humor in a week and you think you can stay funny and fresh for 20-40 hours of a story-based narrative? That you are more or less in control of? The mind reels... (Disclaimer: I watch overwatch world championship games or scrimmages between teams that I like, but I never just watch players streaming, if I have that kinda time, I'll just, like, PLAY overwatch)

There is nothing wrong with CA/Sega's business model for Total War: Warhammer. The game is objectively good and fun with out mods, which for a TW game is a pretty solid effort; and the fact that they are committed to releasing all of the WHFB races as playable with the complete map is excellent. Yes they are charging like 10-20 USD per race expansion, and yes they are charging ~10 USD for mini-campaigns that add 2 heroes to the main game and thats it but still the point is that its all decent quality fun stuff. And if you're like me and don't want to burn the full price every time the new thing comes out then just wait dawg, by Christmas this year most of it will be out and you can scoop up all the DLC for ~50% off which is basically the price of an expansion pack anyway.

That is an unpopular opinion because it makes no sense. Overwatch is repetitive poo poo and I can at least see the appeal in watching an actual game unfold with someone else playing it in a normal stream.

I think DLC in general isn't a big deal and people should quit whining. There are obvious examples of abuse but most DLC is pretty optional and I hate wading through dozens of Steam reviews complaining about it to find any useful information.

Hearthstone is one of the worst CCGs and it's business model is awful. The fact that in order to play "competitively", read: not getting your rear end handed to you by everyone, you need to drop dosh on the expansions they release every 3 months is absurd. Anyone who can't see that its basically a Mobile game business model is insanely stupid or is just trying to justify the time they spent 30 bucks on an expansion to get 4 cards.

Bust Rodd posted:Streaming/LPs I'm really hoping that people will start to get just the tiniest bit creative and take it in some kind of direction, like for Warframe there is Quite Shallow who doesn't stream themselves playing so much as running a channel reviewing each addition to the game. It is enough to give non-players the gist and manages to be interesting and funny if you are into the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bj0E-CZtTLE Just something more than a person in the corner of the video looking like a zombie while giving over the top reactions to everything is all I ask for.

I find it loving irritating that there are some games I don't get to play because they are trapped (exclusives) on a console or game service that I think is dogshit (like origin). Imagine if the latest popular movie ie starwars 12 or avengers 7 or whatever only got released on laserdisc and then the dumb fuckers who came up with that idea thought it would be a good strategy. I would like to play games like last of us or destiny etc. I am not buying into your system just to play a stupid game.

The matches I watch tend to be covered in such way that I am viewing multiple players viewpoints/killcams and casters, so I'm able to enjoy more like a football game and less like I'm following a lonely nerd around.

The 2010 Bionic Commando game (the one with the wife-arm) was really cool and good and deserves a sequel that removes all the bad decisions such as the blue radiation and attempt to have a sensible plot Also Aliens: Colonial Marines is pure garbage but the music and sound-design were top-notch and someone that isn't grossly incompetent should take another stab at a 80's military science fiction shooter

Console controllers are all dumb and bad because you have to control four buttons and a stick with a single thumb while most of your fingers have zero buttons to press. Yo put the goddamn buttons where my fingers are so I can look around and do stuff at the same time.

The original PSP was garbage and homebrew barely made it better. I sold it so I could buy a DS Lite and I am very glad about that decision. 11 years later the drat thing still works without any issues, and Slot-1 and 2 flash cartridges made it one of the best systems of all time for me.

Mario Kart 8 had a couple really cool tracks but still sucks rear end for the lame excuse of a battle mode. Diddly Kong Racing was way worse than CTR because the N64's graphics were garbage and the tracks looked lame. There should be a sequel to Bomberman Fantasy Race because that game was crazy weird.
