We've had a couple "Unpopular opinions" threads, but as far as I can see by searching, never one specifically for gaming. I'll start! Try to keep it civil guys.

- PSO Episode 3 was a good game. It gets far too much undeserved hate because it's not like the other PSO installments. The multiplayer was unbelievably fun.

- Star Fox Adventures is also a good game, and from what I remember, one of the most fun adventure games I've played.

- Skies of Arcadia isn't as amazing as everyone says. Good game, but nothing earth-shattering.

- Twilight Princess is one of the best Zelda games.

- Skyward Sword is worse than TP.

- Knights of the Old Republic 2 is almost as good as the original. Would be better if they didn't remove so much stuff and got rid of all the glitches.

- Donkey Kong 64 is better than the Banjo games.

- Pokemon gets better as the generations goes by, and ALL of them are good.

- Star Fox Assault is better than Star Fox 64.

- Final Fantasy IX and X are the best Final Fantasies. X-2 is also pretty up there for me, and VIII is one of the worst.

- Super Mario Sunshine is the best 3D Mario. SMG1 and 2 are also leagues better than SM64

- The Mother series isn't anything special. Mother 3 is very bland and the humor and deeper themes that people speak about weren't apparent at all to me. Although I never finished the game.

- The Kingdom Hearts series is incredibly boring.

Halo was only popular because it was released on the XBox, and offered great controls for a console FPS. Had it been released on PC at that time, it would have been nothing special. (Though, I do actually enjoy the series, just think it's very overrated.)

Star Fox Adventures and Assault are great games. I adore 64, but I found these games to be pretty cool as well.

Speaking of Star Fox, Command is also a good game, even if it's a bit repetitive.

FFX-2 is great.

FFXIII wasn't terrible. Sazh sucked, Snow was cool.

@Zabby: Actually, the first halo WAS released on PC, iirc. I seem to remember playing it on one at a lan center once. No idea about any of the others.

That's all I have to contribute for now, too tired to be snarky. And yes, that's meant to be a contradiction.

PC version was a later release, IIRC.

Also: Dark Dawn wasn't easier than the other two GS games :trollface:

Death comes to all of those who oppose me.

Dragon age 2 was a good game.

Link should talk

The new Raider game is a Metal gear game

Sonic & Megaman aren't dead series.

There are no hardcore games on the Wii

Madden isn't a video game.

Actually I liked snow in truth. Hey man give me my woman back. I can dig it.

Also, count me in as another person who loves Star Fox Adventures, even if it had a terrible ending. XD

Well, I'm one of those people who prefer Harvest Moon 64 to Back to Nature, but I do think that BtN isn't given enough credit for its contributions to the series and for it's genuine strengths (I mean come on: the tomato festival, anyone? Plus, I really dug how you could get a date for the Goddess Festival and she'd come by your farm all dressed up so that you could take her to the square).

Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life has a lot of flaws (particularly the original version), but I don't think it could have ever lived up to the fandom's expectations. I feel the same way about Golden Sun: Dark Dawn (except there's only one version of it).

Hey You, Pikachu! was fun, okay?

Tentacools are neat.

Final Fantasy IV's story is ridiculous to the point where I can't enjoy it. btw Edward was awesome.

The Dragon Quest fandom is far too attached to the NES names. I don't agree with what a lot of Plus Alpha did, but come on.

if you guys didn't expect this i'm disappoint


final fantasy 13 was better than almost every other final fantasy simply because it actually required skill instead of doublecast ultima to autowin or whatever (inb4thatpoisonexploitonfinalboss)

UNpopular opinions.

Also, what Boydgamesh said.

-The Final Fantasy franchise in general is boring.
-Star Fox Assault was good.
-Sonic never really had some "great decline" after Adventure 2.
-Persona 3 isn't that great.
-Soul Nomad is the best Disgaea game.
-Sonic Riders was fun.
-ToS2 wasn't that bad.
-Additionally, the first wasn't that great.
-Linearity isn't a bad thing.
-Order of Ecclesia is the best Castlevania game.
-Cliches aren't bad.

-MapleStory is actually fairly more balanced and enjoyable than it was back before the Winter of 2011.

-The NASCAR console and PC games are actually pretty awesome.

-Need for Speed Underground 3 and Need for Speed: Most Wanted 2 would both probably suck because EA hasn't made a good game since Most Wanted.

-Nobody will notice The Journeyman Project: Tribute when it gets released, as it will probably be masked by newer PC titles.

Looks like the Journeyman Project series has been...

*cue shades*

Buried in Time.

Okay I tried. LOL.

I've heard a pretty even split of opinions concerning both X and VIII. But yeah, everybody I've met who's played IX has loved it. *Shrug*

I also agree that linearity isn't necessarily bad. Some games don't pull it off well, but it can work amazingly in others. Case in point, Dept. Heaven. Those games are extremely linear. Still a great series, though (my unpopular opinion on it is that Riviera had the best storyline of the three).

Let's see, what else. Nostalgia! Mechanics were meh and storyline was extremely predictable, but those are common criticisms. I love the spirit of the game, though--the general atmosphere and tone was wonderful, and I would love to see more games that do that.

Oh my god this. Sonic 06 was bad but the rest of the games were decent or above average, yet not god awful. I really liked Sonic Heroes and Secret Rings, personally.

Speaking of this:

-Riviera isn't a bad game.

Since most people seem to think it's terrible.
