Do You Have Any Unpopular Gaming Opinions?

I'll eventually play Undertale, but I too must profess some annoyance at some corners of the fan base. I'll promote games I love to be sure, but in some cases it comes with a sort of off-putting religious fervor. I'm keeping an open mind, but I don't expect it to blow my socks off or anything. To be honest, very, very few games have achieved that response from me.

Long story short, don't trumpet games as if they're the Second Coming.

Except Hyperdimension Neptunia.

If I'm being completely honest the fan reaction and people pestering me to play a game in a genre they knew I wasn't fond of did color my reaction to the game more so than if I would have just picked it up blind. I was going into it with negative feelings.

It must be what normal people feel like when I tell them they need to play Wing Commander 2.

So basically, Dsheinem's great contribution to the thread is to tell us that we are trolling, engaging in a circlejerk or being attention whores. BogusMeatFactory thinks we are "hating" and "crapping" on things and Alienjesus that we are "spouting bile". And all because someone dared to dislike a game. Hell, not even that.

Really, I'm tired of this "OMG, you are an insincere bastard" pile-up that happens whenever someone dares to talk poorly about a game. Grow up a little and if you still think it's so important go insult Tom Chick, not me or anyone in this thread.

Maybe this is why all of my friends hate Earth Defense Force and House of the Dead...

Earth Defense Force

I push that one a bit too hard as well.

[Ack]

Does anybody have that gif of Michael Jackson eating popcorn?

Nah, my reaction is more on making a vague generalization on a group of people that enjoy the game. It also is kind of tied into tanooki's blanket statement of earthbound fans.

I am alright though on people not liking the game, there is nothing wrong with that, but I always get annoyed when people dislike a game, because of the people who do like it, not because of the game itself.

I am not mad though. Not in the least.

Thank you, Czernobog.
