The Unpopular Opinions

[Darth SS]

Fallout 3 was not fun. It was too big, too clumsy, the voice acting sucked, the textures were shitty, the karma system made no sense and it was too damn long. You played it to say that you played Fallout 3, you did not play it because it was fun.

Tequila does not require a chaser. You don't need salt or limes or lemons. If you do, you're trying to make it look worse than it is to make yourself look tougher.

I'm okay with this part, but...

I'm of the opinion that you should be innovating wherever fucking possible. Sometimes stuff won't work out that well (see also: FF8's junction system), but if you keep trying you'll eventually stumble across something that can or should revolutionize a genre (see also: Company of Heroes/DoW2's brand of tactical RTS combat).

Zelda is pretty fantastic as it stands because it does a good amount of innovation already. People worship Ocarina of Time so much, but if they just kept releasing Ocarina of Time over and over again, I'd get a little bit upset (FUCK YOU OoT 3d). What they do now is they introduce just a little bit of new stuff each game, spicing up the formula and forcing you to think about how to use new items each time.

Like, I actually LOVED Twilight Princess. The variety of items they gave you was fantastic, and each dungeon was completely unique as a result. I just wish that they had made more of an effort to make the items applicable outside the dungeon you had earned them. Like, fuck, you get a freakin' spinning disk to ride on in one of them. You use it to grind on rails in that dungeon and NOWHERE ELSE. It was cool when we saw it, but why not give us another opportunity to use it?

...Oh, another unpopular opinion I have is that Link should be a werewolf in every Zelda game from now on.

The werewolf sections of Twilight Princess were horrible from every conceivable perspective.

Also, all of you are terrible people and your opinions are equally terrible.

In related news, every single Donkey Kong game ever made is terrible, Pac-Man is a crock of shit, Japan has never made a great RPG, Golden Sun is merely okay, Problem Sleuth made me want to gouge my eyes out, the Punisher was really a pretty decent mindless action flick, Kingdom Hearts was enjoyable crap in the first game and then subsequently became straight shit, Pokemon should have died in a fire after the first sequel or two, the first Twilight movie was okay, the Ace Attorney games would be a million times better as a straight VN without convoluted puzzles that I don't give a shit about, the Star Wars prequels are okay, Tolkien was a mediocre writer, Star Trek has never been that good, and I have more of these but in summary fuck everything you love.

That's how I felt about it too.

Here's another: Gunbuster is the best show Gainax has ever made.

* Earthbound was in fact the best RPG on the SNES.
* Megaman Legends is the best Megaman series.
* Link's Awakening is the best Zelda game.

Comics and Manga:
* Superman was never resurrected after his fight with Doomsday.
* Peter Parker is a detriment to the fun quotient of Spiderman comics. Ultimate Peter Parker was somewhat immune to this, but they went and killed him.
* The Walking Dead is fucking fantastic, but I hate reading it because fuck the bad things that happen.
* The guy who does One Piece, Oda, is the master of Chekov's Gun.
* Tite Kubo is a genius.

Cartoons:
* Extreme Ghostbusters was a fucking awesome show.

This is a topic of unpopular opinions, Ness. Aren't you paying attention?

Well I mean up to about your Walking Dead thing because after that I can't really say, not having read the comic and I have little idea what you're saying in those last two bits.

Although I like X a bit more than Legends, what I played of Legends (which was the Nintendo 64 version so...)

But it's like you're not even trying to make zero sense like these folks:

I think that Daredevil is almost as good as The Dark Knight.
The 2004 Punisher is awesome and anyone who says different is wrong.
Akira is some horseshit.
And most controversial of all, Ben Affleck is one of the most underrated actors of all time.

This is how to make almost zero sense. The 2004 Punisher being awesome is fine, since it was. I can't even say anything about him liking Ang Lee's Hulk better than the new one (though I suppose liking the movie at all makes zero sense, the statement in and of itself does not make zero sense). It's when Sevenshot attempts to compare things that he reaches the epitome of zero sensicalnessality, such as Akira being "horseshit" or Watchmen movie being better than the comic. The Watchmen movie was good, but it is not better than the comic. Akira is clearly not horseshit. This is how to master the unpopular opinion.

Snake as another example can only make like half his things make zero sense, but again, a much better showing of nonsensicality.

I expected better of you, Ness. Tsk tsk.

Ponyo is a much better movie than Spirited Away (the worst of Miyazaki's films).

This is where I think age plays a factor. I'm a young guy and I've been exposed to things that have imitated Akira and Watchmen long before experiencing either of them. It's not as revolutionary when you live in a culture saturated with those ideas. I saw Akira four years ago and it didn't do much for me and I read Watchmen about two-three years ago and didn't find it to be all that revolutionary anymore. I understand that in context, they're both brilliant but now they're subpar works. Hence why I prefer the Watchmen movie. It streamlined the unnecessarily bloated story and actually managed to do a couple scenes much better than the book.

I give this opinion an F--

[IHateMakingNames]

Final Fantasy X-2 was the most fun to play.

Kefka is a terrible main villain. He's that reoccurring mid-boss who gets really lucky then doesn't matter for the second half of the game.

Firefly was bad. As was Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.

Tavros is the best troll.

The Dark Knight wasn't that good. How the fuck did Joker know where to have wires set up to take down that helicopter?

Every movie based on a book is better than the book (Excluding crazy plot changes).

Reeses Puffs are bad.

Oven baked bacon is the best bacon, and crispy bacon is ruined bacon.
