Outside of focus groups (which companies have been known to rig), I don't think people care about the graphics too much. I will argue that content is important since what's the point of great gameplay if you have nothing fun to do with them? As for character designs, it is important that characters look good if you're going to see them often. I'd even argue that story should be below gameplay, content and character designs on the totem pole of importance.

I still think gameplay will always be an important factor in video games (same going for story) and it sucks that people no longer understand it because they are obsessed with content, character designs and graphics these days.

@Kiryu-Chan
Well they ARE unpopular opinions afterall. :P

As for some clarification…

-RE4: For me, it's mostly just the shooting. I can get behind everything else, but the fact that I can't shoot while moving just bothers me.

-SF5: I honestly think the game looks pretty great, aside from Ken's Play-Doh hair.

-SA2 vs Mania: To be fair, every game has that one level that either sucks, or isn't as good as the rest of the game. Honestly, the worst part of Adventure 2 wasn't Security Hall. For me, it was MadSpace (aka SATAN'S OFFSPRING).

-TLoU2: It wasn't the fact that it was a revenge story. It's the fact that there were plot-holes abound, previously smart characters making idiotic decisions, and the dialogue was just atrocious. And that's not even the half of it for me.

@Zincy
2, that level almost made me drop the game. When I finally beat I got lucky and managed to get an A ranking, I still have no idea how I did that

@Kiryu-Chan

"Emerald hunt levels"

Was it 1 or 2 that had Rouge in the GUNN base where the emerald shards would spawn in random locations on a time limit.

I remember there was a certain combination of spawns that made it virtually impossible to collect all of them in time.

- No
- Close but no
- Never played Sims
- I can't but it's good, it's just too ugly
- Agree, though that's thanks to Gust being a really good RPG Dev
- Agree
- Personal preference says yes, but realistically says no(those damned emerald hunt levels)
- Yes, honestly we should have just held off 9th gen consoles for another year imo, especially with COVID
- It's not even the worst revenge plot ever, and I don't even like this damn game

@Sparx

Alright then.

(Inhale)

RE4's controls are horribly dated and nearly unplayable.

RE2 Remake is the best RE game. Period.

The Sims 4 is actually pretty good.

I prefer Street Fighter 5 over SF4.

The Fairy Tail game is also pretty good.

The remakes of Crash and Spyro are better than the originals.

Sonic Adventure 2 > Sonic Mania

I don't think there was a substantial enough upgrade from the 8th gen to the 9th gen.

And finally, I think TLoU2 has the worst video game story of all time.

@Penguin Dragneel
Sures

@Penguin Dragneel
Yes

Ok, so I shared some of my unpopular anime opinions all in one post.

You guys want me to do the same with video games?

@Silent_Witness
Oh damn, never thought I'd see you here. I've always liked Belief, you know, the clopfic you wrote about soarin and spitfire. To this date I still consider it one of the best clopfics on fimfic. I know at this point the chance of you writing a sequel is close to 0, but still, thank you for those beautiful horse words. It's what got me into the fandom.

@Billystorm
Yeah. I mean I haven’t logged in for a long time, but I am.

@Silent_Witness
Are you the guy with the same user name on fimfic?

@Josh103
Of course, their definition of “right” just so happens to include features that they themselves either already possess or otherwise consider desirable.

The only good eugenics is the one that produces superpowers.

Amateur eugenics is a fun concept, particularly in examining those that think they've "got it right".

@Zincy
Ok, I'm gonna dip out of this conversation before I get too depressed. (And also because I don't want to get off-topic)

@Penguin Dragneel

Fun fact, prisoners and the "mentally unfit" were being sterilized up until around 2015. While it wasn't "forced" in the strictly sense, many were coerced into it.

Even now, some states allow for court ordered sterilization and chemical castration.

Past 2015 though I'm unsure of if anyone actually has been.

@Zincy
Funny how there's an entire chapter in the Bible dedicated to saying "life sucks and is unfair" that people seem to ignore.

@Meanlucario
Fair point. I'll go back and redo that post to clear up any confusion.

@Zincy
Quite frankly, I'm just glad that eugenics aren't used anymore. Hell, not even neo-nazis seem to want to associate with it.

@Penguin Dragneel
I'm well aware. My point is that saying that supporting eugenics makes you a Nazi is misleading since they are just one group who supported eugenics.

@Penguin Dragneel

You'd be surprised what you can accomplish with the "just world" mentality.


"Clearly you are poor and uneducated because of something you did or are, so it's fine to sterilize you."

@Meanlucario
It really shouldn't have been the catalyst for it though.

Yes, nazis using eugenics is ####ed up, but people should've realized that it was ####ed up to begin with.

@Penguin Dragneel
From what I was told, a lot of people in the USA supported it until they learn the Nazi also supported it.
