The Last of Us II It left such a void in me, that I'm still struggling two months later to get into any other game wholeheartedly. Everything just feels flat and uninteresting after that. It might take CP2077 to yank me back in the game.

Everyone in XCOM:Chimera Squad: These are psychopaths, who revel in violence, and plop disgusting jokes between kills, while acting like Karens in between missions. Niko Bellic - GTAIV: A petty criminal who acts like a petty criminal even after getting loaded, what is there to like? Michael, Trevor: GTAV: How could I like a selfish criminal and a violent sociopath? Franklin at least has some redeeming values, but not particularly likeable either. What's his name? - RDR2: A plank of wood is more lively and interesting than this protagonist. Max Payne - Max Payne 3: Let's be clear I love the original Max, I just hate the version written by Rockstar games. He is a miserable self loathing worthless burlap sack waste of space. Seems like a caricature. Geralt - The Witcher Series: A giant jerk, who constantly acts like an ahole, and is especially disrespectful towards women, I quit playing all three games because of my revulsion of him.

You are not very convincing in your case when you attack the character of people who question BLM instead of trying to argue against them. If BLM does not support criminal behaviour, then why don't they denounce the looters/rioters? Instead of posting their bails? Why does BLM only speak out when it can blame a white scapegoat? Seems like they want to grow racial tensions, because they thrive on it. As long as they perpetuate the myth that every problem of the black communities are caused by white people, they prevent the solving of many of the actual problems. So they don't just prolong racism, they also do a disservice to the communities they are supposedly looking out for. There is a need for an organization what BLM claims to do. But BLM doesn't do as BLM says. If anything BLM is sweeping the actual problems under the rug, by blaming everything on racism. While at the same time devalue the term "racism" by labelling everything as racist. If everything is racist then actual racism gets a free pass. Yes actual racism still exists but it is not systemic as they claim and certainly is not everywhere.The system is not rigged, and if it is somewhere, all they need to do is point it out. And I'm sure the offending racist legislation would be changed. And don't get me started about acab and defund the police. That's pure anarchist insanity. And many of the very people who posted defund the police on twitter are now fleeing cities that actually want to go through with it, because they no longer feel safe there. It is the height of hypocrisy. The police is necessary, and while some cops are bastards, defunding the police is not solving anything. Each person must be judged as an individual, and not by their group affiliations. Be that race, or being the part of a police force. not all police are bastards not all black people are victims not all white people are racists Judge the individual, not their skin color, that's the first rule of not being a racist. Which BLM has already failed, by putting all black people into the victim basket. It's actually insulting and demeaning to individuals when they are treated like that. It doesn't matter what you do, or achieve, you are a victim. The impoverished black communities need solutions, not scapegoats.

Why does BLM support riots and looting? It only helps perpetuate racism, not ending it.

You agree with the popular opinion as opposed to the unpopular one, which is the topic at hand. Hardly surprising isn't it? Just because you two agree doesn't make your opinion more valid than mine. Everyone's opinion is perfectly well adjusted to their own circumstances. I find it ridiculous that I have to explain this, but here is why I hate controllers: I grew up in a relatively poor (compared to the west) eastern bloc country, where gaming was a luxury only upper middle class families could afford, and videogame consoles, were only affordable to the 1% rich. The price of a single game was equivalent to one month's salary for the average working class person. Not the console's price, the price of one single game! My family wasn't poor by local standards, but console gaming was still far out of reach for me. Therefore the first time I held a console controller in my hand was at 18 years old. And I was already working my first full time job at 24 when I first owned a console. Therefore I never got used to the controller, I can't play effectively with it, it's a struggle, and after finishing many games with it out of necessity it's not for a lack of trying.I'm not going to get any better with it. That's why I want to play every game with a mouse and keyboard instead. Does that make me wrong? No, my stance is perfectly reasonable for my situation. I'm sorry if it felt that I was looking down on those who play with with controllers, that's not my intention. If anything I'm jealous that you can enjoy games with it. I cannot.

I only watch trailers for games that are a long time from releasing. When I want to decide to buy a game or not, I'd rather watch gameplay footage, preferably without any commentary.

Yet, you are hell bent on proving that someone else has a "wrong" opinion. Sorry, but there are no wrong opinions only different opinions. So it seems to me you are very much an amateur in this. You'd better start accepting the fact that other people hold different views, because they had different life experiences, and that doesn't make them wrong. If you honestly think they are missing something, you give them information, because uttering things like "crap, nonsense, name calling, etc." gives zero information, and only serves one purpose: To antagonize people. But if that is your goal, I'm sorry I said anything, I'll learn from my mistake and try to avoid talking to you. In case it wasn't clear enough in my original post I used "You are doing it wrong" sarcastically. I didn't expect anyone to change the way they play games on my say so. A formula1 car is made for racing, it does not need to serve any other purpose. An action game released for PC however, must be designed in Keyboard and Mouse controls in mind, since those are the de-facto standard controls on the platform. Designing a game for PC that can only be properly played with a console controller is therefore bad design.

I'm not telling you to do anything. But I'd play every console game on PC if I could. I only own consoles because some games are not available elsewhere, but I loath console style controls. That is my stance, you don't have to agree with it, but you have to respect that other people will have differing opinions, especially in a topic titled "unpopular opinions"

There is no need to devolve into turd flinging. Hint "unpopular opinions" is the topic title. So it's inevitable you'll disagree with some. Don't tell me this is your first time 😛 Besides that's the only complaint controller fans can ever bring up: walking speeds, it's not like I haven't heard that a billion times. I'll not compromise everything else to be able to walk half speed. If a game needs you to walk faster than the walk mode and slower than run mode for stealth it's simply badly designed.

I don't think that's an unpopular opinion. But here is one: If you play skyrim with sticks you are doing it wrong, I can't even imagine playing that game with anything but a mouse and a keyboard. Or anything else for that matter. The console controller is a good for nothing compromise for couch potatoes. You can play any game on a controller, but none of them very well. For shooters and strategy games: mouse and keyboard. For driving games: A proper wheel setup. For flying a normal stick, not two oversized nipples you have to tweak with your thumbs.

I listen to almost anything, almost. Except for rap, jazz, and blues, and maybe country music. But I don't hate country music I just never listen to it, but rap, blues and jazz I actually hate. If I had to choose a favorite band it must be Laibach. Because they can always be novel even after close to 40 years of existence. They don't just produce music, they produce political satire and visual art. It's very easy for the uninitiated to confuse them with what they are satirizing or ridiculing. You never know what their next release will sound like, but you can always be sure it will be genius. It's an acquired taste, that's well worth acquiring.

I haven't dreamed of a videogame, not that I can recall at least. But there were two games that kept me up at night.

That's just a form of third person view. with a fixed camera position.

Yeah but he wasn't a playable character, I was specifically talking about their player controlled characters. I don't expect every NPC to be likeable, that's not the point, but I need to like or at least understand the protagonist's goals and motivations. So here is another unpopular opinion: Titanfall 2 is a vastly overrated mediocre game at best. For some reason I wasn't convinced that it was actually as good as most people make it out to be, so I put off playing it until it wsa like $5. Man was I glad I didn't pay more for it. Didn't even finish it. It's derivative, the maps are claustrophobic and linear, with lots of backtracking, the main character is extremely two dimensional and cliched. I really don't get what made it so well received and praised. The only things that I found better than average in it was the graphics, and maybe the controls, but those alone won't make it a great game for me.

Pinball Illusions is the only pinball game I need, nobody could top that ever since, or even come close.

I always found the vaults in Mass Effect Andromeda and the Cauldrons in Horizon Zero Dawn eerily similar in concept and design. It's almost as if there was some industrial espionage going on there.

So I just played MS Flight Simulator 2020. Kind of disappointed, it looks much less impressive in person than on the promo videos. And the AI generated landscape is what you'd expect, tried loading up my home city, and it looks awful, nothing like in reality. The buildings look nothing like their real world counterparts, not even their heights and styles are correct most of the time. I expected at least the bigger more unieque buildings to be textured with real world oblique imagery, but sadly no. Everything has the same stock texture on it, so the whole city is a single shade, it all looks bland and lifeless. Roads are not even modelled at all, it's just a lo-res satellite imagery streched on a heightmap. And the rivers seem to flow over bridges not under them. Ground vehicles are disproportionately oversized compared to reality. I've even seen cars driving under water. As it stands google earth's 3D view looks much better than anything in this game that is not hand crafted. And the installer is awfully lazily programmed. The game downloads one file, then uncompresses it on your PC, and only then starts to download the next file. It's slow. In the end I'm glad I only paid $1 to play it. But I'm sure hardcore simulator fans would find it more interesting. Although the flight model didn't seem like anything special. It doesn't seem all that different than the last game in the franchise I played many years ago. X-Plane seemed much more robust than this 10 years ago.

I used to be a first person is the only good way to play games type. Then I left that attitude behind. Nowadays I barely even notice the viewpoint in shooters. it is inconsequential to me. But when it comes down to it, I even prefer 3rd person. Why? Vanity. I want to see my character in action. What's the point of spending hours in character creators and searching for the best looking armor or outfit, if I'm never going to see it? That's why I'm kind of disappointed that CP2077 will be First person view locked. But then there are games where fps view would not work at all, like Tomb Raider with a lot of jumping and climbing and having to be aware of the surroundings. You have zero situational awareness in first person view compared to reality. So I'd argue that TPS view can be more immersive, not less.

I broke my dualshock controller three times playing the last of us on PS3, twice I was able to repair it, once I had to buy a new one. I hate console controls so much, I want to be able to play all shooters with a mouse and keyboard the proper way. I don'T care what platform the game is on, just let me use my mouse for aiming damnit!

It's Niko Bellic Roman was his brother an NPC, and of all the bad characters rockstar has, imo he's the least bad. I need to be able to identify with the player characters goals to want to play a game. If the character constantly does and says things I find objectionable I get frustrated and the result is an unenjoyable experience.

Bloodshot - Absolutely awful avoid at all costs.

I liked the first few seasons it was one of my favorite shows, but the later seasons, really degraded in quality. Especially the cases and the actual lawyer bit has become very bad and uninteresting. And even the characters started to become over the top. I managed to watch it to the end after a long hiatus, (I don't remember exactly when it went from bad to worse) But if the first seasons are a 9/10, then the last few are a 3/10 at best.

This topic needs revival. I'll start off with one of my unpopular opinions, I have plenty. Rockstar games can't write likeable, relatable characters. All of their characters are miserable self loathing burlap sacks of turds that are impossible to like or identify with. In GTAIV, GTAV, RDR2, all of their recent games. But the older titles weren't much better either, the only difference is that those games were less character heavy so I didn't care that much either way. They even managed to make Max Payne an awful unlikeable character in Max Payne3 when they got their hands on the franchise, basically killing it in one stroke. The Max Payne of Max Payne 3, is as bad as the Luke Skywalker of the Last Jedi. It's antithetical to the established character, a caricature.

I really liked top spin and virtua tennis, but both franchises are in the gutter now as neither had a new release in many years. I also enjoyed golf games, but the modern mictrotransaction infested experience is not appealing at all. Greedy game companies made me hate what I once liked.
