Your "Controversial" Gaming Opinion

I told you, moms are tough.

Hey, giving birth is like getting kicked in the nuts repeatedly for like, an hour, so they have to be.

I remember that joke from Friends, Chandler tells a woman who has about to give birth "Hey, you know, what would be more painful, giving birth or getting kicked in the nuts? I mean, it's funny because noone will ever experience both pains so there's not an answer..."

On topic: I've only cleared one mission in Halo 2, and it's the only part in the game and entire series I enjoyed playing.

Funny, I used to watch that show all the time, and I don't remember that. I'm sure i've heard it before though.

Anyways, Halo 2 had the best campaign out of the 5 games. Reach being a close second.

Eh, I'd place CE above Reach, but otherwise I'd agree.



-Nier seems a bit of a mixed bag so far. Nothing outstanding but still interesting.

-The Clawshots are the most overrated item in Zelda.

-Alternatively, the Stepladder is the most underrated.

-Allowing bosses to heal during battle is incredibly cheap, especially if they're strong.

Fire Emblem should never have made the jump to 3D. The 2D sprites were wonderful.

The animations in the 2D versions are way better than the 3D versions.

I think that, for the most part, the towns and cities in Oblivion were better than Skyrim's.

Radiant Dawn has ok animations. It was a step up from the previous game. But i do kinda agree. The 2D sprites were awesome. The DS game's sprites were atrocious.

Well here's a list of stuff other people tend to diagree with...

I liked Raiden in Metal Gear Solid 2
Mario Galaxy was the most disappointing game I've ever played
I thought Shadow the Hedgehog was a good game
I don't like any of the Half-life games
I think World of Warcraft is still pretty good

Fire Emblem 3DS would like to say hi.

-I found Fire Emblem a painfully boring RPG and a prime example of why I think "play it for the story"/"Story over Gameplay" is a terrible structure. A few cool characters didn't help.

The 2D sprites still look better.

I think you are wrong. And that's my controversial opinion.

Er... FE was more like "gameplay over story". Just look at Sacred Stones.

Luigi's Mansion is better than both Mario Galaxy games.

"Moms are tough."

I actually did quit hitting auto-battle after a while and the game still sucks. I only mentioned it in my previous posts just because I find it hilarious that the feature exists in a game that -plays it self before the player even starts using auto battle-. The game rewarded nothing but mindless offense regardless of if you were using auto-battle or not. There was almost no reason to ever do anything else but attack.

But regardless, your defense on this subject brings me to a certain thing about gamer logic that makes very little sense.
That is the act of criticizing another player for using an option that the game makes readily available for you as a means to finish it. It's not like using auto-battle is cheating, nor is the game even remotely "challenging" without the use of it.

Well, at least it wasn't for me.

FF13 is the product of what fans have allowed modern day square to become; a company that sells their product by using things like visuals and "deep story telling" to excuse uninspired and shoddy game design. I played the game for hours and I still wasn't having fun. So why the hell would I -logically- finish it?

Oh, but my opinion on a game is invalid because I didn't play the ENTIRE thing. Despite playing it enough to get a feel for the game design and decide if I liked it.....no, had to see the credits roll for my opinion to count. Right.

lol "I don't take you seriously, here's my response to you!"

I never said using auto-battle was cheating. But you can't complain about it when you're given the option to not use it.

What's uninspired about the game? The story, setting, and characters are completely original, free of bull♥♥♥♥ cliches that the old Final Fantasies have used for hundreds of years.


You're damn right I don't take you seriously, since if you thought the game was easy, you probably didn't get past the sixth chapter. Fine, saying that you need to beat the game to understand it is untrue, but all of your concerns, like how the game was uninspired, too easy and that it played for itself, are invalid since the game shows marvelous worlds, bosses that require strategy to beat, at about fourteen hours in. The characters develop and show their weaknesses throughout the story; you can't rush it.





Uninspired? Shoddy game design?

And I obviously said the only thing I care about are the graphics and storytelling, right? Never mind the 6 unique roles for all 6 characters, the hundred accessories, weapons, and ugprading. Never mind enemies like the Raktavija that don't take damage from any attacks, all you have to do is hit auto-battle to win, right? I'd like to see you hit auto-battle and win a battle in Chapter 11.
