I just got this crazy idea and I saw this thread so I have to say it: I think playing handheld is more comfortable than playing home console games.
That's not controversial at all.I don't believe the Scorpio will be able to achieve 4K @ 60 fps. More powerful, dedicated GPU with more FLOPS struggle.

Half Life gets way too much credit for revolutionizing the FPS genre when it's really just a better made Quake 2.-Half Life 1 was a solid game for its time. Half Life 2 is grossly overrated and aged very badly. Valve´s legendary reputation will eventually become a symbolic burden for them (for example, in a somewhat comparable fashion to Metallica´s apparent inability to match the quality of their first records).
What about Aloy proves it? Hard to say about a game that isn't out.Female protagonists usually suck and are terribly lame, and Aloy is proof.
I agree about Death Stranding. To me it felt like being vague for the sake of it, and any emotional reaction it could have caused with the grief of the man and the baby, was undermined by how alien and bizarre everything was. It did what it was supposed to do as a teaser - raise interest. But the few posts I did read about it were amazed, and I just don't get why. Because Kojima's name was all over it, the cynic in me says.Metal Gear Solid. Dreadful series, awful voice acting, overlong cut-scenes. Takes itself way too seriously. On a related subject - Death Stranding. Whilst the internet goes all gooey, it's just an ambiguous series of images that can mean anything - therefore meaning nothing! These types of trailers / films are very easy to do. The hard thing is to actually do something simple that doesn't suck.
What's an actual uncommon opinion?Yeesh, gonna have to agree with ShockingAlberto's last post. Far too much of this thread reads like a venting ground for salty hipsters who seem to view themselves as martyrs to their dislike of something popular rather than being a thread about actual uncommon opinions.
So anyone without enough money to spare on several gaming hardware is voided of their opinion "as a hardcore gamer"? WTF? Having only one platform does not necessarily make one a fanboy.
As for the narrow mindedness - What about someone who played a lot of games, but has their GoTY list consist entirely of Nintendo games because those are the games they like? Liking one type of game so narrowly can show a dangerous level of fixation, but I guess if the person can argue his choices well there no reason to invalidate his opinion.
I agree about old games 100%. In fact, I'm a little pissed about all those remakes and remasters for old games. Stop fucking shitting on gaming's heritage. Those games should be considered as coherent wholes. Their graphics were created with the tools of the time, let me and people enjoy the work and labour that went into making the best use of those tools. People need to play the games as they ARE, in their original vision and experience, not in their reworked image made to fit current audiences. I say this even if the new graphics improve the look pr gameplay of the game, like in the case of Day of the Tentacle.
This is silly. Who's preventing you from enjoying those old games?I agree about old games 100%. In fact, I'm a little pissed about all those remakes and remasters for old games.

I feel the opposite. Played both (and the HL2 episodes) in 2011 or so, and didn't really like HL1. The sequel was awesome though, the gravity gun is so cool.-Half Life 1 was a solid game for its time. Half Life 2 is grossly overrated and aged very badly. Valve´s legendary reputation will eventually become a symbolic burden for them (for example, in a somewhat comparable fashion to Metallica´s apparent inability to match the quality of their first records).
As a Suda fan (who has played very few of his games, to be honest), I'd say this is fine. His games are weird, so I can totally understand how they may not appeal to others.No idea of this is controversial, but I'll say it anyway.
I never liked anything done by Suda 51.
I think the thread title should be changed to "unpopular" gaming opinion, not controversialThat's not controversial at all.

"If you don't like Zelda you don't like video games".
Anyone that's ever said this is a deluded person.
Someone actually slapped me once when I told her I didn't really like any of the Zelda games lol
I'd like to slap you too.
one innovative idea (MGS)

- With that being said, the best Kirby game ever is Kirby's Dream Course
How is this a controversial opinion??? If there is competition in digital sales, it would be fantastic.Digital future on consoles will be great.
IF they allowed additional stores to sell on their front...
This cannot be, because Mr Do's Castle is better.Mr. Do! Is the greatest game of all time.
Whoops, meant to refer to the original Metal Gear
I'm the complete opposite, I find controllers to be fine for shooters, and I'm someone who prefers keyboard and mouse over them.Possibly said many times but.... playing shooters with a controller is more frustrating than fun. I feel like Destiny could be a fun game, but I hate it. I hate so much that I can't enjoy it properly with a mouse and keyboard.
I kinda agree with you. I disliked Killer 7 because the controls were too complicated to learn.
No More Heroes I actually did enjoy, but felt the sequel was kinda a little too much the same where the innovation of the first was lost.
Lollipop Chainsaw was just too much "indie poseur" for me to enjoy.
I categorize him the same way Tarantino is for me. A great director but don't understand why so many people consider him god's gift to film where every movie is treated like this heavenly cinematic experience. Suda 51 does have some enjoyable games, but he seems to have developed a cult following which sees no wrong or flaws in his design.
They might be fine, but it bothers me that I know they aren't as good so I feel handicapped. It feels like I'm fighting with the controls rather than using skill to shoot. And I haaaaate aim assist.I'm the complete opposite, I find controllers to be fine for shooters, and I'm someone who prefers keyboard and mouse over them.
I don't think it's actually a controversial thing to say that most gamers have a very poor concept of history within the industryOne that just came to my head (sorry if I'm posting here too much)
As someone who's only 22, more people would benefit from playing older games (especially ones beyond just the really known games like Mario, Sonic, and Chrono Trigger), and older games in general are a little (though not significantly) underrated on this forum. I feel like stuff like Gunstar Heroes and Rocket Knight Adventures really get snubbed in the conversation of best 2D platformer of all-time vs. stuff like ....the recent Donkey Kong games and Shovel Knight, and stuff like the original Dragon Quest/Warrior games get snubbed in the conversation of best JRPG.
Also, more modern indie 2D platformers would benefit from having a finite number of lives. Not all games need to have a finite number of lives, but having a finite number of lives isn't "arbitrary difficulty," or an "archaic game design holdover from the days of arcades". It's a different measure of skill, it requires a certain level of consistency/precision from players who die enough that they're forced to redo certain parts.
This is silly. Who's preventing you from enjoying those old games?
a lot of people sure but the vast majority? going against that grain is still an unpopular opinionNeither is that.
A lot of people here are quite skeptical about the 4K promises for Project Scorpio (and that's without taking the frame-rate perfomance in consideration).
I'd say that the majority of those who are following the news about it are negative (as in not "buying" it and/or wishing for a better use of that extra power) towards those statements.
