Screw graphics, get gameplay! You want nice visuals? Go bing some high-res images.

They are not mutual exclusive.

great gameplay + great graphics > great gameplay + good graphics > great gameplay + medicore graphics > great gameplay + bad graphics

This is true but I hate it when people who don't know any better focus on visuals.

PS4 has no games or PS4 has a weak exclusive library (but it is fine for MS to go almost a full year with zero retail exclusives)

Nintendo and their sucess has a bad influence on Japanese devolopers (low budget, no AAA= good)

Microsoft made a bad influence on gaming as whole, because of 360 we have to pay for online and gaming is now all about online yade yade. The Cloud is just another example how they make things worse
They also killed Sega and the Gamecubes momentum.

 

Extremely agree, Yamauchi F'd devs over with that North American Vidya Game monopoly

Glad they got what they deserved and the PS1 in conjunction with FFVII Spanked the N64 into irrelevancy.

Don't get me wrong I'm glad the PS3 was not a huge success at the beginning because of it's pricing and cell architecture along with Sony saying "People will get 2 jobs for a PS3", but I'm also glad the Wii U and X1 are getting spanked for Bad 3rd Party relations (Nintendo) and starting the buying exclusives trend (360 and X1).

Hmm...I really don't agree with the Blizzard part. Except for maybe Hearthstone, it's not like any Blizzard games are outrageously popular or incredibly hyped. Or even talked about that much.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

I think motion controls were great and they should have been better built upon as technology got better after the Wii. Wii Sports (and Resort), Wii Fit, and Skyward Sword were pretty intuitive and I want to see how it could get better. There were flaws in 7th gen in terms of motion controls so there was a base in which developers could've built upon to see where motion controls could go.

I wouldn't say GTA is overrated, but I just don't really know what's so great about it. I've seen gameplay of recent games and I've played a few hours of Vice City and I think they're alright. Nothing spectacular, but they're pretty good.

Metroid Other M is actually not as bad as people on the internet really claim it to be. Yeah, it has problems, but I think people over-exaggerate their issues as if the game was just as bad as games like Ride to Hell or something along that line. I actually think Samus really showed how much of a superhuman she is described to be. I like her athleticism and her ability to do certain things I couldn't do in games like Super Metroid, Metroid Prime, or Metroid Fusion. And the bosses were actually pretty tough and I like some of the music like this game's version of Ridley's theme.

Finally, I think the Wii was a better console than "hardcore" gamers give it credit for. You cannot tell me that the Wii was just a "casual" console or that Nintendo neglected long-time gamers. Especially when it had games like the Galaxy games, Mario Kart Wii, Smash Bros. Brawl (despite it's flaws), Metroid Prime Trilogy, Punch-Out!!, Sin and Punishment 2, Xenoblade, Zelda Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess, Wii Sports and Resort, Excite Truck, Red Steel 2, Madworld, The Conduit, Dead Space Extraction, The Last Story, Pandora's Tower, Endless Ocean, Epic Mickey, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Kirby's Return to Dreamland (and Epic Yarn), NBA Jam, Muramasa, Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, Battalion Wars 2, Sonic Colors, Monster Hunter Tri, Animal Crossing, Okami, Resident Evil, etc. Yeah there's no GTA, Metal Gear, Assassin's Creed, etc., but there was a solid combination of great games and hidden gems on Wii that tend to get overlooked.



I hate everything Hideo Kojima ever made, and the MGS series in particular is a subpar stealth/action series inferior to pretty much every other game that has stealth elements ... including stealth in Fallout and Elder Scrolls.

I'm also glad he left Konami because this will, hopefully, mean that the Silent Hill series (which hasn't been good since SH3 or maybe SH4) will finally rest in peace.

Zelda and Metal Gear are extremely boring for me

Wind Waker Link does. Simple story isn't a bad thing and neither is having a cartoony art style. You might as well change your unpopular opinion to "I think all games should look realistic" or "cartoony graphics suck" or "every game needs a convoluted plot".



 

Yeah I don't understand the strong storyline thing. It's not a movie. I want to play a game. That's why I bought a game!! Sure, certain genres can have a storyline but the whole thing of "no Oscar = shit game" makes no sense. 

You guys do realise this is a "unpopular opinions"thread and not a "comment on someones else opinion and try to make him change his mind "thread right ? For me story makes all the difference in the world, if you dont care about story, great for you, I do and if the game has one than Im gona judge it as I see fit, if the game does not have a story, like Mario for instance (princess kidnaped save her is a background not realy a plot) or tetris or whatever than I wont judge it cause the game isnt trying to tell a tale at all, but if it does than Im gona compare it to other games that also have storys and that do it right while also having fun gameplay.

And imo Zeldas gameplay isnt even that great, I also dont have a problem with cartoony graphics in itself but I always felt liek Zelda is a game that dont realy know what it want to be, or a game that wanted ot be more mature but Nintendo would never aprove so they dressed an elf in green, made him mute and expressionless and simplified the plot and gameplay. And I have that opinion ever since I was like 10, so its not something I developped as I grew older, ever since I was a kid I felt Zelda was a game that wanted/could be more than it is but since it was Nintendo it had to stay "Nintendofriendly".
