Unpopular opinions with video games

Fire Emblem: Awakening isn't hands-down the best game ever created, nor is it even the best game on the 3DS. It's still a good game, though.

FE7 is better but I still love Awakening. It was just too easy, except on Lunatic where its too hard.
 
Music and story are easily the least important parts of most videogames for me.

HeartGold and SoulSilver rank among my least favorite Pokemon games.

Fire Emblem and Zelda can be good but overall I think they're two of the weakest major Nintendo series.

Not even in a good way.
 
You cant call lunatic hard. its not. the proper word is "cheap"
 
I'm not sure if this is unpopular here or not but it's pretty damn unpopular around some of these parts

I believe that feminism has a spot in video games and sexism is a valid complaint towards video games in general. I also advocate racial diversity in appropriate video games.
 
Mega Evolutions are stupid. Why make an overpowered pokemon even more overpowered, and then half the time it turns something that looks awesome into something dumb and ugly looking. There are some exceptions but I don't ever really mega evolve my pokemon. Thank goodness it's temporary

I've learned from the personalities of Mega Evolution haters that either your complaint is valid and you legitimately don't like overpowered Pokemon, or you're a hypocrite who has has entire party Legendary.
 
I think Mega Evolutions are dumb, not because they look dumb or make pokemon OP, just because I don't like that they exist. I'm not even sure why, I just don't like them at all. I tried to like them, but I can only try so much before I just decide that they aren't for me.

The way to get mega stones was bullshit, who thought that was a good idea. I know the mega evolve animation only adds on a few seconds to the battles but that shit adds up since the battles were super slow in x/y already. The whole game was slow. fuck x/y.

oh, maybe I don't like mega evolutions because they debuted in x/y. That'd make sense.

Yeah I agree they're stupid. Not sure if it's necessarily unpopular but whatevs
 
Mega Evolutions are a good idea, but they should be used only to turn terrible Pokémon into something good but not Uber, like Mega Kangaskhan and Mega Mawile.
Or if they want to make overpowered Mega Evolutions, then give them to Uber legendaries such as Mewtwo and Rayquaza.

It saved Gallade from the depths of RU and made him look about 5000 times cooler. When done right it really saves weak Pokémon, unless it goes overkill, like Mega Kangaskhan and Mega Mawile. But some Pokémon really needed the boost like Charizard, Beedrill, Pidgeot, Gallade, Pinsir and Audino. It is really stupid when they give Pokémon like Lucario, Garchomp, Rayquaza, Mewtwo and Lati@s Mega Evos.

Say what you want about Mega Gallade but he'll always be my favourite Pokémon and he definitely deserved a mega.
 
This might sound a bit too specific, but in Phoenix Wright, I like Maya more than Phoenix, because while Phoenix was likable, Maya was just so eccentric that I can't help but love her.

*post*
i would definately consider mega gallade a total exception for all the reasons you've listed
 
I feel Mega Evolutions were created just to pander to the casual players for the most part. Extremely disappointing. And I feel like GameFreak should focus on actual buffs and not temporary and very limiting stones. You know, actual evolutions to things like Magcargo, Altaria, Arbok, Kingler, Huntail, etc. Give them a fourth evolution for all I care, if you're not going to tweak the base stats. And please, perhaps give the Ice type a resistance to Fairy moves, remove weaknesses, I don't know but buff it reasonably somehow as a defensive typing.
 
Re: OFFICIAL POKEMON X AND Y HATE THREAD

Again, I think it's unfair to call Mega Evolution broken when I'm willing to bet half of you have Legendary Pokemon that you send out first during battles. The only things I really disliked about X and Y was that the Team Flare Grunts were as annoying as all *bleep* ("I'm an idiot... WITH STYLE!"), and the graphics were crappy outside of the Pokemon models. Oh, and didn't like the EXP share or Mega Evolutions? Here's a groundbreaking tip... DON'T USE THEM!

Your sarcasm constructive criticism whatever the *bleep* you want me to call it has a point, but in X and Y you CAN ignore Mega Evolution and the EXP share, because they're optional. In games like Sonic 06 and Big Rigs, UNDOUBTEDLY BAD game design cannot be ignored. But I understand, you think X and Y are the new Sonic 06.

it's still shitty game design which is exactly the point dippy just fucking made

Aw, saying *bleep* sounds so much cuter than saying the F-word
I get it. But you guys treat the idea of Mega Evolutions being bad AS A FACT. I'm guessing you wouldn't hate them nearly as much though if X and Y were universally panned. If a game gets a good rating, people tend to call the game bad and inflate the minor annoyances as "game-breaking problems" just to show they're cool and original (This is why I think the cult hatred for X and Y is just stupid.) On the other hand, if a game is BAD, people tend to inflate anything good about the game and say "this alone makes it a good game" for the same reasons (a good example being the few people who like Sonic 06 because the soundtrack was good and Shadow's story had its moments.)

i'm going to stop typing and go home as this isn't worth my time
