I'm confused is this thread supposed to be about unpopular (but genuine) video game opinions we have or just straight up fake/ironic video game opinions because it seems like most posters are doing the latter.

do you invert your y axis when operating a computer normally?

for normal people, the crosshair is a cursor.

Assuming a first person view: when playing PC games with a mouse I use "normal" style controls. When using a controller (regardless of platform) I use inverted. You could have me play the same game on PC versus console and I'll change the control style between them.


DOES THAT BLOW YOUR MIND???

food court bailiff posted:

huh i missed those and thought you were talking about my post re: japanese game plots, carry on

Oh I actually agree with you on that.

I love Phantom Pain for the game play. It's a kickin rad action/stealth game and from the minute it set me loose in Afghanistan I loved it. The hands off approach is SUPER satisfying in the age of hand holding, all the tools are awesome, it's just good poo poo.

But a lot of the major plot stuff was AAAASSSSSSSSSS. I hated the Skulls every time they popped up, the villain was absurd, the entire opening level was something out of a terrible anime...

The core cast I liked (Boss, Miller, Ocelot), and I liked Mother Base and everything associated with it (especially FOB raiding!). But the anime plot plots and some of the supporting characters were cringe worthy, I agree. I found the game to be best when just roaming for side quests, doing missions that were NOT critical to the plot, or doing a little bit of base management/FOB raiding.

Yeah I've played it in both the closed and open betas and it's just meh. An ok time filler but it quickly devolves into the same power-play bullshit featuring a short list of winning cards/decks that everyone abuses.

Just like every card game ever. If it had a draft mode that might be cool but it doesn't. I haven't played it in a few weeks and probably won't again unless I'm really bored.

Marvel Vs Capcom is a retarded game and all of the idiots that play it professionally should be shamed in a stockade in the middle of Times Square because every match is spamming the same overpowered moves at each other in a game of Pong with a graphical interface

The big difference for me between MVC games and other fighting games is that I can watch other fighting games and still enjoy them even if I don't know the game.

Like I can follow a match of SFV or Mortal Kombat or something even if I've never played it. But MVC is just an unintelligible swirl of overdone visual effects and off screen call-ins coupled with a camera that routinely loses sight of one player. It's a poo poo viewing experience.

Serious question whatever happened to memory cards?

The main design goal of memory cards was to alleviate the low storage capacity of consoles/cartridges of the time by offloading save data to an external device. Once hardware improved to the point that was plenty of internal storage to go around, memory cards became unnecessary.

Using memory cards to swap saves/unlocks/whatever from person to person or console to console was a happy coincidence that was wholly unrelated to their intended purpose, from the manufacturer's point of view. From the consumer's point of view it could be a key feature and selling point. At a time when the technology and industry culture favored the sharing of data and purchased hardware, manufacturer's where happy to let people enjoy this side benefit.

You will almost certainly never see memory cards come back, for two reasons. The first is they are technologically pointless anywhere there is internet service. Save data could or other user-specific information could easily be transferred from console to console over the internet if that anyone wanted to implement it. The second is that today's manufacturer's do not want to implement it. In the 90's sharing was good. Today it is still good to the consumer, but the manufacturer hates it. They don't want you sharing anything like that with other people. This is a console generation that only begrudgingly allows the transfer of games via physical disk because there was a consumer revolt when they planned to take that away. Every single thing that can be tagged to an individual, is tagged to an individual. People might still have a desire to swap or share save files and such, but the industry does not like that.

My sincere but unpopular opinion: you should not be able to field-revive dead squad mates in most video games, and similarly in most games you should just go "alive ----> dead" with no "downed" state in between. A downed/revive system is something that may make sense for a select few types of games but has absolutely no place in your average shooter/action game, imo.



I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion among players or just designers though.

Dark Souls 2 jsut had no soul. Nothing seemed lived in. They made no attempt to make Dranglic a real place people could exist in.

The divide here is that people judge the Souls games on different things. Half the population lives for PvP and other online interaction. The other half treats it as a single player game with occasional coop and periodic but unwelcome PvP. A few crazies are only there for the story.

THE TRUTH:
- The best Souls game for multiplayer is Dark Souls 2
- The best Souls game for singleplayer is Bloodborne
