Unpopular opinions with video games

[Duskull]

I have a lot of unpopular opinions about gaming. However, I don't want to share most of them because I have had way too many bad experiences by doing so all over the internet.

People aren't going to disagree with you on it, feel free to post

Spoiler

I never played Mario Kart 7, mostly because I am not into the portable Mario Kart games. I feel that even when they introduce new things, they still offer a watered down experience. I can excuse this since they are handhelds that can't hold as much content as a console game, but still. For example, this game has a lack of character variety and the unlockable characters are just terrible (Honeyqueen and Metal Mario? REALLY?!)

MK7 is great.

And hating a game for the characters is just stupid.

Yes

However, this is mostly because all I have had when expressing my opinions are disagreements. Like sure, people have agreed with me at time, but it is a rarity.

As a result, I keep most of my opinions to myself. What is the point in giving your views on something if you know that everyone is going to disagree with you?

Is shoey the one who had a duck as his avatar once and told me not to go and said that I am his boyfriend (freind that is a boy) that time when I made that thread about me leaving.

Anyway, *cough*Most of the retro mario games aren't that fun to me, even for the time they were made*cough*

They never really interested me either.

I've honestly come to the conclusion that shoey says all that just for the hell of it.

I hate Minecraft, and sandbox games in general.

Have you played it?

 

[Ray Trace]

I hate...sandbox games in general.

I love sandbox games such as Garry's Mod and Spore: Galactic Adventures ;~:

Guess it's unpopular, but why do you hate open-ended games?

Well, some sandbox games tend to be way too dependent on the creativity and imagination aspect of it instead of focusing on the core gameplay.

Petit Computer is an example of what I am refering to. I can't believe I paid 8 dollars for an app that doesn't even give you step by step tutorials on how to use it, but gives you boring... long... e-manual.

Also, some don't like them because they lack creativity and imagination which is required to enjoy some games. One of which is Wario Ware D.I.Y. If you can't come up with ideas for microgames, comics and music in any way. The game is basically a waste of money unless you want to buy DLC and someone elses stuff.

money down the drain unless you wanna buy that DLC

I'm sorry, I speak with a dialect that contains words like this "Trippin', (feelin') salty, (where you) at, y'all, na'll, ain't etc" and I sometimes end up typing stuff like that.

If you're looking for core gameplay in a sandbox game....well that's like looking for strategy in a party game. It's the wrong game genre.

I understand sandbox games aren't for everyone though. Me, though, I have a huge imagination and I love being creative so I wholly benefit from a game that'll let me do whatever and make crazy stuff. Especially Garry's Mod. Man, if you seen my screenshots on that game, you can tell I devoted so much time on creating scenes.

Eh, a sandbox game like Garry's Mod doesn't come with a tutorial. You learn simply by practice and making stuff. Basically, experience teaches. But what you need, of course, is something user friendly and I think Garry's Mod is pretty user friendly.

Yes, but Petit Computer uses BASIC which is a programming language. In my opinion, programming languages do need a tutorial or at least lessons in the instruction manual so you will know how to use it. Just saying what commands like "PRINT" does will not really help a user learn how to write their own code since BASIC is not all about just typing commands.

On a side note, stuff like it's graphics and background creator have no instructions on how to use them or what everything is for or does even in the manual.

Unlike Garry's Mod, Petit Computer is not very user freindly. Heck, people who actually know how to use it have trouble using it, and that's just sad.

On a side note, there actually are party games that are more dependent on strategy. Most party games where strategy is not involved are games that are based heavily around board games like Mario Party.

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

Mario Party has some strategy. You know, use a warp pipe when you're next to Bowser himself in Clock Tower. And you need to win minigames to spend on things. If you played just the first or last ones, then you're playing with the more luck-based ones.

It's an analogy. Of course there may be some strategy involved. But the game isn't built around strategy

 

[Stargatedalek]

as can be said of most boardgames
even monopoly, arguably the most strategic of the pop-culture board games, is largely based on chance(cards)

[TVTrash]

Some people say a game is more about plot than graphics.
I am not one of them.

 

[Stargatedalek]

a game needs both and gameplay to be great

but to be good, it only needs gameplay and either/or of the above

Yes.

PC Version Demo.

Also, I'm ok with sandboxes that focus 100% on creativity, such as Garry's Mod and Spore. I dislike sandbox games where the only open-world thing is the overworld, and the goals are still linear.
