EA GAMES' MASTERPIECE 'MADDEN 2018 G.O.A.T. EDITION' IS A GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF ART AND TECHNOLOGY. IT BRINGS GAMEDAY RIGHT TO THE PLAYER AND WHOEVER SAYS OTHERWISE CAN, YOU GUESSED IT...
SUCK THE SHIT STRAIGHT OUT OF MY OWN ASSHOLE.

BUY IT.

I never played overwatch but I watched videos of it and it looked boring. Like I was just being assaulted by a barrage of noise and lights until one player or the other falls over dead. Idk why people like it other than to jack off to the character models and their boobs and butts. Maybe this is an unpopular video game opinion idk

overwatch is the same dumb bullshit as call of duty or gears multiplayer just nice and colorful to appeal to the giant children that enjoy it.

in terms of sheer gameplay it's nearly nonexistent and can not compare to a vast majority of actual games. At least Call of Duty and Gears give you a story and campaign to play instead of just 5v5 deathmatch over and over and over over and over and over over and over and over over and over and over over and over and over over and over and over over and over and over over and over and over over and over and over over and over and over over and over and over over and over and over over and over and over

jingle some keys in the form of bright lights and colorful attacks every now and then

It was a loving grandfather paradox that they just shat out in the middle of the floor and walked away from. Not to mention that no matter what you did in the game you got the same ending, unlike the well-established "how you play determines the ending you get" mechanic of the previous installments in the franchise. I actually really liked the gameplay in Infinite, but holy poo poo did the plot take a nosedive into odious twaddle.

i agree with all of this apart from the bit about the gameplay being fun. the combat got old really quickly, largely because the enemies were all obnoxious bullet sponges who could take two whole magazines of machine gun rounds directly to the face with no problem.

Okay here goes:

In terms of a self-contained plot the Witcher 2 has a better written and more interesting story than Witcher 3. Now, while 3 has a very good story, and some of the best NPCs I have ever seen in a game with very realistic portrayals of people in general, the story unfolds a little too slowly and feels a little hampered at times. Witcher 2 is a worse game in every other respect because it's not very expansive and they hadn't quite perfected the combat system etc yet, but the story was very direct and interesting I didn't feel like I was taking a million detours.

That being said I'll probably never ever play the Witcher 2 again because lol Witcher 3.

Agreed 100 percent.

My hot take: Witcher 3 has better combat than Dark Souls 1, BloodBourne, Skyrim, Two Worlds 2, etc etc etc.

If you disagree, double tap WASD to dodge, don't roll.

Some unpopular video game opinions:

-Arkham Origins was easily the best game of the Arkham series but it's not without its faults
-Hellgate London was a pretty fun game and should have stuck around longer than it did
-Bioshock failed at being a spiritual successor to System Shock in delivering atmospheric, character-driven RPG horror by being almost none of those things, i mean it was at least atmospheric but it went another way with it; that series is now at its best when its direction is wrapped around punching down at fringe politics like it's baby's first satire instead of trying to be spooky
-Dragon Age 2 was actually pretty drat good, it could even have been a ~*genre elevating*~ game had it not been a rushjob that had every seam frayed and showing
-AOE2 was really good for its time but it was surpassed within in its own series by both Age of Mythology and Age of Empires 3; it was surpassed within a generation by other titles like Rise of Nations
-The actual best RTS of all time was World in Conflict imho
-The actual story, and not just the lore, of Dark Souls 1 was really good
-Dark Souls 2's lore was just as good as DS1's, i think people just disliked stepping down from dealing with the creation myth of the setting to only dealing with some scrub kingdoms' background

but the most unpopular video game opinion i have is:
- i will not call my opinions objectively true nor will i call you an idiot for disagreeing with me, i will respect your opinions and ideas on this silly little pastime too

Overwatch styles itself like TF2, and mechanically disguises itself as any kind of team shooter of that vein, but in reality a lot of places where things like skill, gameplay, and fun exist in a game like Team Fortress 2, it has been instead turned into a lovely skinner box that makes even the dumb idiot who went 0:30 feel special. In fact it goes far enough to make him feel special that it's probably nearly impossible to get 0:30 without the game giving you a free kill somehow. It's a sad reflection of gaming in general, and the distilled essence of what made WoW lovely: It's not a game where you 'earn' recognition by playing the game well, you earn it by mouthbreathing for enough hours, being made to feel special enough to sink your dumb loving wallet full of idiot dollars with your fat loser fingers into pudgily typing in the credit card number for the nth time to buy cosmetics and generally imagine spider-girl's fat rear end getting pumped in the 70gb overwatch folder you've got to fap with between/during matches.

If you just called it 2 everyone but Japanese people (or goons) would know what you're talking about. If you asked me for final fantasy 4 I'd hand you mystic quest.

Whatever you want to call them though, in my video game opinion there are none worth playing after mystic quest. Also mystic quest is underrated and I'd say even better than 3.

Dungeons and Dragons: Dragonshard is an underrated RTS.

Dungeon Siege 2 figured out how to do full-party Diablo, it's fun as gently caress, and I don't understand why nobody else does it.

Even though Steam makes games cheap as gently caress, I still miss having the physical copies. Games that had instruction books with flavor and effort ruled. Half of the reason Warcraft2 was so cool is because of it's big, dumb instruction book full of metzen's dumb and edgy scribblings.

This is not necessarily a flaw. Games don't have to have multiple endings. There are all sorts of interactive stories that can be told where having only one ending makes sense.
