As long we're talking about unpopular gaming opinions, HD adds nothing to the gaming experience and HD collections are bullshit unless something is being added to the games in addition to the bloody HD.

While I can't agree with you on Mirror's Edge, at least I know there's someone else who thinks thisForgottenPr0digy said:
Unpopular as it may be, while FF XIII isn't my favorite, I don't think it always deserves all the shit it gets.
I agree with all those, everything else on your list I haven't experienced, so I have no opinions there.Moralio said:
One or two of my own.
MegaMan Legends was a great game, and Misadventures of Tron Bonne was even better.
Wind Waker is easily the best 3D Legend of Zelda game out there.
Final Fantasy-s 4 and 9 are my favorites.
I liked Metroid Fusion better than Super Metroid.
I don't like the GTA games, never have.
Played San Andreas back on the PS2. It was okay until there was a mission where you had to drive a car and simultaneously shoot a cook or something. I got so frustrated with the controls that I left the series and never looked back, nor do I have a desire to.
I think the biggest unpopular opinion I hold is that I don't mind handholding as long as it serves a purpose in the story. That very slow opening of Assassin's Creed III? Loved it. FFXIII's first half? Awesome.
Oh and I loved (and still do) the heck out of FFX. Love most of the characters and the story really drew me in.

I wouldn't say these are unpopular, since most people I know agree with you and many here too. Hell, I agree with you. Most of you here are picking a lot of popular opinions, do any of you really think 'playing on PC does not make you better' is an unpopular opinion? Or saying something is over-rated?an874 said:
- I found a lot of the humour in Portal 2 really forced, and reviving 'that' character was very disappointing, and that it was suddenly capable of more than before is pretty lame as well.
- Samus Arans design change to the bland sexy anime weakened the character, and chucking in cinematics and forcing text in the latest Metroid games is going backwards to the inovation in narrative Super Metroid and Metroid Prime did so well.
- Nintendo has sold out so much in the last couple of years that they have completely forgotten how to make quality products and games.
- That games (music and movies too) with a bland story and/or average writing does not mean that it is unintelligent. There are many different types of artistic intelligences you're forgeting about, like creating a good atmosphere and what not.
That's enough for now
-MGS4 was the worst in the series
-Max Payne 1 and 2 were good, but not great
-I am not a fan of multiplayer only games that are not F2P
-Crysis 2 was alright and better than 1
-Battlefield 3 looks like shit
-Oblivion was overrated
-Blue Shift and Opposing Force were actually good
-Torchlight 2 beats the ever living crap out of Diablo 3 (A little uncertain if that's not a common opinion truth be told)
That's about it.
EDIT: Mass Effect 3 was terrible. Not just the ending, every single aspect from the narmish to downright shit writing, to the texture quality that games from 2005 do better, and the fucking terrible attempt at Gears of War gameplay.

*Pulls out umbrella* Here we go:
-Assassin's Creed is very overrated
-CoD multiplayer feel very slow, even on console
-Mass Effect 1 is a terrible, terrible game. Interface and gameplay are poor
-Portal 2 is a good game, but not great
-Capcom fighters have been boring lately
-Zombie modes are not fun
-Minecraft is boring
-The F1 series is the only good racing series right now

- I strongly supported Retake Mass Effect.
- I supported the California video games law in Brown v EMA, and, putting support of it aside, the Supreme Court overstepped its bounds in calling a law unconstitutional even though it clearly wasn't.
- I thought Sonic 2 was awful, especially compared to Sonic 3. It was too long and too difficult to not have a save feature.
- Piracy is a good idea.
- Standard controllers are superior than keyboard & mouse for most games, even ones that end up on PC.

Mirror's Edge was a Stunning game with not as many bugs/glitches as people say.
EA aren't the worst Publishers, but are in the bottom 5.
To the Moon is not as great a story as said by many.
Pokemon White 2 was very drab.
Portal was a tech and concept demo, not a game.
Games based solely around multiplayer aren't the worst things ever.
Controllers aren't always bad.
PC has quite a few flaws (But so do all consoles).
That is all I can think of. Some aren't really unpopular, but whatever.

-Duke nukem forever was a fine game. Not terrible, not good. Fine.
- Resident evil outbreak: file #1 and #2 were possibly the best out of the resident evil series (i know that someone said this on the first page, i agree)
- EA are not that bad. There's far worse companies in the industry than EA. They have made some series worse, but some of them are still okay. Kind of.
- Silent hill 4 was better than silent hill 1.
- Amnesia isn't scary for me or atmospheric.
- War games and space games are more overdone than zombie games.
- Minecraft isn't a game.
-The walking dead game was terrible, both as a game and a story. It's pretty overrated.
-Skyrim is overrated. Fallout new vegas is also kind of overrated.
- The xbox 360 and ps3 are basically the same console, they're both not that good.

You make a fair point, but after 6 seconds on the escapist you seem to end up confronted by at least 83 different people with the opinion that all games are terrible things that we play not to enjoy, but to critique the living hell out of, because having fun is some sort of cardinal sin.Carsus Tyrell said:
Despite that I kinda like it here...
Unpopular opinions?
Depends who they would be unpopular with, for example I quite enjoy call of duty as a game to blow off steam, and was quite entertained by the story in each game, now among most of the gamers I associate with, that is completely fine, however, a brief look around here will inform me that it is the greatest assault ever committed against gamers everywhere, and we should burn Infinity ward / Treyarch at the stake
Halo 3: ODST was pretty damn fun and one of the better games in the franchise (as in 9.6 as opposed to the 9.2/ and 9.4 of halos 2 and 3 respectively)
GTA IV was a positively involving experience that made it an incredibly fun game to get lost in, the social interaction aspect didn't bother me at all because it gave an opportunity to characters to flesh themselves out in a real way
I loved the Mako in ME1, and think that the Hammerhead was a massive step down
Male Shepard is better than femshep voice wise (and yes applejack IS the best pony on the citadel)
Assassins Creed 1 was amazing, Brotherhood and revelations were similarly fantastic in their own way
Half Life, and all associated valve properties are put on such a pedestal by gamers, even though they aren't actually as fun (for me) as people keep on telling me
I enjoyed Duke Nukem Forever and thought it was an entertaining game
The here come the saints trailer for hitman absolution was completely fine, the people that got upset about it were being incredibly foolish, no damage was actually done
The Kane and Lynch games are in my top 10 game series because of how fun they are, especially to splitscreen with friends
Saints row 1 is the best in the series, if they threw in the voice acting from the second game and actually bothered to continue the story from 2 onwards, they would have one of the best series ever, instead Saints row three came out and it is one of the worst crimes against gaming ever committed
I legitimately teared up at the sequences with
SgtMajor Avery J Johnson, Maria, Dominic Santiago and Cortana
Hogs of war needs a remake
FFVIII is probably my favourite in the series because I found the main character relatable to a degree.
FFXIII's only problem was the lack of a decent villain, which they corrected in FFXIII-2.
I'll likely buy Lightning Returns.
I didn't notice Heavy Rain's flaws the first time I played it and still think the whole "JASON!" thing is overblown.
I didn't enjoy playing Bioshock (but I only rented it, so I'd like to have another go.)
The Elder Scrolls series is known for their engrossing world, yet I've been more engrossed reading the lore on the wikia.

I think most "elitists" tend to be ok when they've got some good games to play. If you go back 3-4 years ago when there was hardly anything to play apart from a few shoddy console ports that was PC gamers were shooting their mouths off the most.Higgs303 said:
ATM it seems to be old school console challenge gamer who is most vocal nowdays, those who like PS2 era games and DMC and Darksouls.
I thought the first Witcher was as much fun as leprosy. Is that unpopular? Also, I loved the campaigns in the modern warfare series. Even if I tried, I just could not deny that I had a lot of fun playing them.
Oh yeah, and Diablo 3 is better than the first two. Lemme have it.
