Unpopular Opinions about Video Games

It's why I never bought RDR2. I played though all the first one and it had a lot of content in it.. but I was pretty meh about it throughout. It's got everything about an open world I would want and I just couldn't give a shit about it.

Same thing with Witcher 3. I tried literally a good 6-10 times of putting the first hour or so into it and ended up turning it off and deleting it again.
Yeah, I couldn't get into The Witcher 3 at all, either. It just does not feel good to play, and I've never cared for high fantasy universes, anyway. I have no clue how it's so immensely popular. Geralt is as autistic as J.C. Denton but lives in a universe where he's considered a God-tier chad, despite carrying around two swords because double your sword = double your coolness, I guess?

And then I tried just riding around on the horse, wandering off and at least enjoying exploring the world, but I guess I'm limited to a tiny chunk of the map until who knows how long and I just wanna treat it more like Breath of the Wild, because lord knows I'm not having fun with the storyline.

I really wish I liked this game. Including soundtracks, an entire comic book, a pretty damn nice 500mb artbook, all kinds of stuff for fans of the games just right there in the folder is great. I love that kinda stuff when I get into a game, but I don't get to enjoy it because I don't enjoy the game, damn it.

I know the W3 map is enormous from the photos I've seen and there's endless side quests to do. I appreciate the amount of content but I just don't have the time or interest to take on something so daunting like a 100+ hour game or whatever it is. Something about it is just so disinteresting and plastic and the combat feels awful.

"How long is The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Game of the Year Edition? When focusing on the main objectives, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Game of the Year Edition is about 56 Hours in length. If you're a gamer that strives to see all aspects of the game, you are likely to spend around 187 Hours to obtain 100% completion."

If it didn't feel awful to play, I'd be good with a 56 hour 100% game time. Maybe I'd feel differently if I was a kid and had endless time to myself.
 
It's funny, I used to enjoy the occasional Zombies match during its heyday. The "end" of Zombies would vary from player to player. Hold out as long as you can, complete the Easter egg, or wait until the game crashes. Yes, the game could crash if you persist long enough.

Another reason I despise horde modes is the complexity of defense mechanics while you wait to set up with no end in sight.
For me, if they'd had a "round limit" function, it would have been a lot better for more casual players. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a session or two of Nazi Zombies sometimes (World at War), but it's definitely best played with friends to fuck around with.
Horde mode was unplayable for most people past wave 10 and quitters were a huge problem even back in its heyday. The enemy damage and hp bonuses stack way too quickly.

Halo Firefight was just the right amount of difficulty. Don't play the MCC version.
What's wrong with the MCC version? I've never noticed a difference, and I have CEA, 3, ODST, Reach, and 4 for XB360 and every game for MCC on PC.
 
I just want to appreciate that RDR2 has accurately depicted women from that era from their clothing to their mannerisms.

Case in point: Jessica the socialite widow.

Most notably AFKers, Quitters, and Griefers kicking players from matchmaking games. Then there is the "Ranged melee" bug where enemies can just perform the melee animation across the room and turned around, but it will count as an instant kill on you somehow. Most notable with the Halo 3 Hunter, Flood Tank Forms, and Brutes going in with the overhead slam. Rarely happens with Elites in reach firefight when they go to kick a spartan. Probably an offshoot of whatever bug broke the sentinels in the flood firefight flights. Its 343i and the enemies of Halo 5 WZ firefight are an even more egregious example of this. Where they can spam tracking heavy weapon projectiles without ever looking in your direction. Invisible sentinel beams with a TTK of less than a second with sentinels that had no character animations. Wasn't fun.

Getting some buddies together for some ODST or Reach Firefight on the 360 was an overall far more amicable experience than whatever antisocial autism goes on in MCC matchmaking.

I dislike virtually everything about Red Dead Redemption II, it's so autisitically detailed it's unpleasant to play.

You have to eat, sleep, shit, shower, watch your weight, shave, jack off your horse if it's balls get too full and it's cum meter fills up. Everything is slow and clunky and moves at the pace of a retarded glacier, yes I know it's a deliberate artistic choice and no that does not make it fun to play.

RDRII reminds of one of those realistic needs mods for Skyrim that make it so you spend more time monitoring your hunger meter than actually playing the fucking game.
It's the worst possible implementation of systemic gameplay, sorta like death stranding is. Systemic gameplay sorta is the final boss of video game complexity and is virtually the final generation of gameplay improvement as it's completely player controlled organic interactions And yet most of the best systemic games seem to have come out either in 95-2005 or in 2013-2016 it's really weird how far we have devolved. I still stick with mgsv and botw being the best non sim/strat systemic games which were the least intrusive on player freedom and fun factor while average tycoon game from 2001 seems to have more complex mechanics than the anything these days.

I don't know why but the witcher feels genuinely awful to play and I've faced a lot of flak from friends for saying it. Some of them say it's about the writing and quest design but the swordplay is trash, magic is trash, consumables are trash, crafting is very mid, roach is probably the worst part as he gets stuck in geometry idk how people praise this game. I genuinely have a much better time in Skyrim than the witcher 3, it's a very badly designed game, I don't care how good the story and quest design is, Gwent is the only good part of it and even then the shovel knight card game is better.

The funny part is even the story is trash. I stopped playing this shit around the 15-hour mark and I was still stuck on the quest of rescuing that white-haired bitch. That's it. A time worth of 7 feature-length films on a quest to find out where a whore is.

I genuinely dont care about stories in games, all I want is the gameplay to be injected into my veins uninterrupted. If Im interested in the story and aesthetics like with Souls, Wolfenstein and MGS, I will go and research them later on my own.
 
The Witcher 3 is mediocre eurojank with a big budget.

I've tried to play it on 3 separate occasions and just gotten bored a few hours in each time. I think it's one of those games for people who only play 3 or 4 games a year who probably haven't come across the numerous other RPGs that do literally everything better than Witcher 3 does.
 
Red Dead Revolver makes Red Dead Redemption 2 look like Cyberpunk 2077, as far as storylines go.
And gameplay

The amount of times I've had animations just freeze up or wig the fuck out in RDR2...my god what the fuck is wrong with developers these days? Make shit fun or just make a fucking movie this weird half ass simulation shit is for the birds.

There's a Red Dead thread on here.

Thread tax: analog control isn't all that cracked up to be.
 
All this Witcher 3 hate makes me happy. Combat sucked, story sucked, world felt bloated with fluff. I couldn't figure out for the life of me why it was so popular.
PS4 had no games and you can fuck every hot woman on the planet because Geralt is the ultimate Gary Stu. Now look, we are adults and this is just silly shit, but 90% of players nowadays are horny teenagers, imagine how cool is a game where you can fuck any hot woman and they all just throw themselves at you naked without hesitation. It's a fucking harem simulator.

And I'm convinced this is what made Witcher 3 popular, and again, PS4 has no games.
 
I largely enjoyed the combat in Witcher 3. But it took a while to click, and I can understand not liking it. But if you didn't like Witcher 3, haha, holy shit, will you ever hate Witcher 1. It also is somehow even worse in the "every big-boobed demoness wants to bang this autistic weirdo" department.
