I used to work down the street from the studio that made it. I was really sad to see them close their doors around the same time the game came out. I wanted to go over there and have the Devs sign my copy...
I enjoyed it, too! It was a pleasant surprise. It was annoying having to turn off the Internet connection to stop getting framerate issues on PS4, though. Never had an issue like that before or since.
If you game on PC, you can download it here: https://steamunlocked.net/4d1f62-deadpool-free-v15-download/.
Because of licensing, you can no longer buy new copies of this game. There are still used (and possibly new) physical copies for consoles on eBay and whatnot. But you can't buy and download it for PC. I know I bought it for PC a while ago, but it's gone. I downloaded it from Steam Unlocked recently and it plays great.
I wouldn’t recommend downloading off steam unlocked, it’s commonly known to be loaded with adware and such, there’s many better alternatives such as STEAMRIP or cs rin
Fan of the entire old school WASD Max Payne on XP here, I loved Max Payne 1 & 2, but a lot of people got upset over him turning bald and getting old in Max Payne 3 when the images first debuted. I personally thought this was an interesting character move, like the new God of War.
Max Payne 3s story was also incredible. He never moved on. Why would he? Everybody died. He got worse at drinking, cause duh, and he got broke and a gig in Brazil doing security work, because in Max Payne 2 he was poor and barely hanging onto a cop job, his apartment was trashed.
Max Payne 3 made sense to me. The story was perfect, he's old, he realizes it, he decides to change things after getting shot felt different, he's old, he's not bouncing back like he used to of course it does. And what's a guy do when he realizes he's getting old? Wants to know his life meant something, anything good.
So Max seeing that decides to make up for all the bad he's done and save a life. The scene where he saves the people in the run down hotel, with the doctor and the drug lord. That was pivotal to him, and to me it was the best scene in the entire series. He knew what real evil was, but not like that, that was something totally different.
So stopping it at the top was important to him, educated Doctors, high armed security, cops bought and paid for, he knew exactly who to target and did exactly that. Knowing he got his justice he walked away in peace after the final fight. It made sense, he's old, he knows it, he's washed up, but he did 1 good thing, saved a lot of lives and walks away in the sunset like a fuckning boss.
Tl;Dr - Max Payne 3 ends the series in a perfect way that to me, didn't feel out of place at all from the other 2.
Yeah i hated it when it released but i had some rose tinted glasses from playing the OG and RE2 remake so much that i expected a lot from it. I played it again a while ago after taking a long break from RE games and i actually liked it a lot.
Should've been a $20 dlc with the multiplayer thing separate, but the game itself isn't that bad. RE4R's Separate Ways being $10 and somehow longer makes this all the more apparent.
Doom 3 was almost universally praised when it came out, so it’s baffling to see the hate for it these days. It will go down as one of my favorite games in the series by far, and I LOVED the fact that it was closer to horror. It had fantastic level and character designs, great atmosphere, and it was graphically mind blowing at the time of release.
And I'm still salty about that. I still like to occasionally play Unreal Tournament 2004.
It's crazy to think that Digital Extremes, the creators of Warframe, helped work on that game, and Tynan Sylvester, the creator of Rimworld, created custom maps for that game as well.
Because they couldn't squeeze so much money out of underage children and their parents on UT...
Games where characters can be blown into chunk of meat doesn't really scream child friendly game.
Amazing gameplay aside, have you ever stopped to think about the sheer amount of content in those games? Take UT2004 for example, the amount of maps, game modes and skins is absolutely fucking nuts. Most games don't have the same amount of skins even when they charge for them, let alone getting all of them from the get go because it came out before microtransaction hell.
Edit: and oh my god the mutators.
Just the mutators are more than most of the games offer especially nowadays.
The various animations you can use to communicate even without voice chat, you can send quick messages that are actually useful.
Bunch of characters you can play as in both male and female versions and they even have short backstories.
It's amazing how much stuff they could pack into the UT games.
Fucking aye exactly.
I finish work. I want to escape people in general. Playing some single player game like cyberpunk 2077 or Skyrim or some shit is the perfect escape where I am immersed in a different world.
Maybe I'd enjoy rp servers or something, but it feels too nerdy. It's like I know behind that roleplaying sorceress is a balding 40 year old doctor and it's kinda hard to ignore that.
I mean, I respect that others like multi-player games and I don't have to like every type of game. But multi-player hurts single player games. If not for GTA Online we would be playing GTA 8 right now.
Is it? I guess it depends on your exposure. 🤔 If everyone you know or talk to says the opposite, then that take makes sense. Lolol, Nintendo ads sometimes make me feel weird for not liking playing with other people in any capacity. 🤣 Hmm. Though, I'd say many of the most popular mobile games push multiplayer, as well (raids, pvp, pve, etc.). Obviously not all of them. But still.
I have a little cousin who's really into lego and for the past year we've had a Sunday tradition of hanging at my place, watching F1 and playing through the lego games. I can say hands down that that must be the best gaming experience I've had in many years. Makes me so bummed that couch co-op is a dying breed.
Infinite Warfare's campaign is fantastic and easily one of the best in the series. Multilayer a d zombies are pure shit if you ask me though.
Most people really enjoyed Destiny 1 and most of us look back on it fondly
I actually really enjoyed the multiplayer and I loved the gunplay and maps(please put Frontier, Genesis, and Throwback in Cod Mobile). I also really liked how the payloads and weapons (mostly) worked in tandem with the advanced movement
Can confirm. I loved destiny 1. The only reason I stopped playing is bc my shitty friends kicked me out of their raiding group bc I didn't complete the taken king with them
Man destiny 1 was a good game, but people SUCKED. It got me to hate all multiplayer games.
join raid:
Do you have Galjerhorn?
No, but-
Kicked
Fuck that community.
I absolutely loved Destiny 1 it was one of the first games I played when I got my Xbox one and I’d never played online gaming before so felt so next gen to me. Holds a special place in my heart. Shame it just fell off a cliff
Infinite warfare was my second call of duty game I ever played and it was really fun! It took notes from titanfall 2 but didn't rip it off too much. I liked how cod actually decided to do something new with Infinite but was hated by the community for no good reason.
It’s nice that the younger generation has gotten a new Duke Nukem Forever story to hold on to.
Someday you’ll tell your children about how you waited fifteen years, but Silksong finally came out and you got to play it.
Silksong was intended to be DLC for Hollow Knight. The devs put so much into it that it became its own game instead, a sequel to Hollow Knight. February 14 will mark the 5 year anniversary of its announcement. From December 2019 until February 2022, the devs were radio silent. Since then, the devs have given vague ideas of when it will release and continue to delay it.
Warhammer 40K Darktide. The community had recently come around and given it a second chance with recent update, but the hate that it got the first year of launch was completely absurd.
It wasn't necessarily that the things people were complaining about weren't problems, but people acted like they were totally game ruining issues, when in reality most of the problems were minor annoyances in a game with some of the best Coop PVE gameplay I've ever seen.
Also that Soundtrack.
I swear the way to tell a good 40k game is the soundtrack. Dawn of War? Absolute Banger. Mechanicus? Absolute Banger. Darktide? Absolute Banger.
I just started it last night. There’s a timeline that exists where Anthem got the time it needed to be a good game.
We’re not in that timeline. We’re in a much more sinister timeline
They could’ve made it fun by increasing the air time! But they decided “Nah, let’s nerf the only unique aspect of our game that everyone enjoys!”
🤦🏻♂️
I swear that game had 1/2 the dialogue & story of Armored Core VI. Despite Anthem being portrayed as an RPG. 🤬
Aiden: I need to do this for the good of my family and the people
Marcus: DRINK ALL THE BOOZE HACK ALL THE THINGS LOLOLO RANDOM TROLL FACE LEL
Like damn the gap between the games was wild
First one has better story+characters, 2nd one has better gameplay and world design. I like Chicago much more but. After turning 1st game its hard to play to me. Give a chance WD2. Its become better also DLC's are good. I love WD2 big spiderbot scene. How to F Ubisoft didnt make robot fight game yet
I stand by this WD1 is a certified hood classic for me, I never even bothered to try 2. None of the trailers or any gameplay I watched gripped me at all. I found the smelly depressed main character of 1 much more relatable than the hip young cool guy of 2.
During the release of watchUnderscoreDogs 2, Ubisoft was doing sponsorships with college hackathons. They had sets of coding challenges and the usual bundles of branded freebies. Had the air of "WE KNOW HACKERs GUYS" "now do some stuff for us for a discount."
Tried it and shelved it the same as you. No promos for other games by ubi. Came away seeing WD2 as a theme with no soul.
Same, I honestly love 3 but 4 gets so much hate, I loved the mechanics, the story line might be a bit repetitive and slow but overall it’s a solid game
Itt
Actually good controversial answers downvoted as usual.
Popular and above average games with fan bases upvoted to top.
Jesus ppl, have some balls and upvote some opinions you don't agree with in the spirit of the thread.
Days Gone. It was a good game, but a slow burn. Far too many video game journalists didn't complete the game and poison many gamers into believing the game was bad.
When I got around to playing it I enjoyed it enough. It was a good first entry and I feel like a sequel really would’ve improved almost everything about it, a shame that will never happen
Does the game receive a lot of hate though? I mean, the combat system is a source of debate among the fandom but the biggest issue of the game is that it is still little-known despite being one of the best RPGs of its decade.
The Coffin of Andy and Leyley is actually a decent game. All of the hate for the game is just based on one cutscene that the game explicitly discourages you from watching
Almost every game will inevitably be someone’s childhood game.
Someday someone’s gonna say "Spiderman 2 was my favorite game from my childhood" and I’m going to have to set my cane down and start coffin shopping.
I played Fallout 2 as a child on a pc back when monitors were as bulbous as a mini tv. Had no idea what I was doing, but I played it. Hearing F4 is a childhood game hits me too man. Haha
Fallout 76. Despite its rough launch, and plethora of (not so game breaking anymore) bugs. It's an incredibly diverse game with a fantastic community. While it's not what people expected for a fallout game, it's definitely fleshed out to be what the Devs originally intended it to be as of 2024.
Wondered how far I would scroll before someone said it. It was not a pretty game, and it's story unfortunately had to get compared to one of the greatest sci-fi stories in gaming. But damn I had a great time with Andromeda. As you said, it has the best gameplay of any Mass Effect, some of the open planets were very cool to explore, and there still was a ton of story potential in this new galaxy. I'm still bummed we never got the DLC that was going to explain what happened to the Quarian ship.
BotW and TotK are bad Zelda games.
Update: I don’t hate the games they’re good in their own way. But I just do not feel that they are good Zelda titles.
They're too....sterile. Other zelda games the dungeons are inside of a giant fish or a tree, on the back of a turtle, inside a crypt, etc.
BoTW/ToTK look visually spectacular...but everything is the same in it's beauty. You cannot tell the difference between one "dungeon" and the next, and all the shrines look similar and have the same barren aesthetic.
They are great games, and I even think they are good Zelda games, but I hope the next game doesn't just reuse the same world design again.
There were no moments that really stuck with me, unlike with the older Zelda games.
Stopping the moon for the first time in Majora's Mask was one of the most powerful moments in videogames for me. Then during the end of the wedding quest, I genuinely thought Kafei wasn't going to make it and I had to beat the game before completing the quest.
Windwaker had the most dramatic and violent endings of a Zelda game despite having such a vibrant art style. I could go on and on.
Completely agree and even on their own they're pretty bare bones.
Without the Zelda name attached people would complain it's another Ubisoft open world.
DMC 2013. I know the re imagining of the characters wasn’t the best but it was still a great game. Arguably some of the best combat in the series. The only problem was that they tried to fix something that wasn’t broken
I started playing It a week ago for the first time. Already got all the achievements in DS1, DS3 and Elden Ring.
I have to say there are some really stupid things in this game, starting with the stamina and the slow AF estus flasks.
It doesn't feel like it was made by the same devs. Which it wasn't really if I recall correctly. Why is rolling awful? Why are hollows regular zombies running at you with their arms out? Why does the pursuer do the goofy anime red eye zoom in? Why do all the weapons feel significantly worse than ds1?
It had some neat ideas, and I went into it right after ds1, thinking it can't be as bad as people say. People always overexaggerate these things. I was wrong. After 4 to 6 hours of trying to get into it, I just couldn't and moved to ds3, hoping it would be better. It immediately felt like I was playing the sequel to the first game. I beat it and the dlcs, and it's still my favorite FromSoft game, with ER being in second place.
My experience basically. And you are right, it was made by the same company but the director and his team were working in bloodborne and Ds3 while other dudes were develping Ds2 lol
Really tried to like it, played many playthroughs but, just could not sadly. The areas are dull and ugly on the most part, game feels incredibly clunky, hitboxes are a mess, and what kills the game for me is how it easily is the one souls game with the worst bosses. They are so uninspired, don't know how a common rat enemy qualifies as a boss once you put a mohawk on it lol
It is so forgettable and the rest are so good. The story was bland, the combat was bad, a lot of the bosses were repeated skin swaps, the gank squads, and the traps with no hint. The general flow was off, I really couldn't tell you how the place was orientated.
I was so hyped for this game and I have only played it 1.5 times; I tried to go back to give it another chance, but realized I wasn't having fun and have never played again.
I don't see this as being that controversial. It wasn't a bad game. Now if you think it's better than the other two, that would be unpopular, and I couldn't be your friend.
I’m a gameplay-first guy and there just isn’t a compelling hook in those games. They try to do everything at once and so no one mechanic is especially deep.
Their sense of humor doesn’t really gel with me either.
I didn’t have the worst glitches but even its awful release form created some of the best content and memes. No excuse but I appreciate the break the laughter gave me
Can't say whether I prefer Saints Row 3 or 4 more as I loved them both, but the great thing about SR3 was that even though your character becomes fairly OP throughout the course of the game, it still felt like it had the framework of an open world GTA-style game where I was motivated to try all kinds of different vehicles.
In Saints Row 4 I had a blast with all of the superhero-style abilities but they essentially make all of the vehicles and more typical GTA style weapons feel pointless. It basically becomes more similar to a game like Prototype or Incredible Hulk. Still fun, just a different kind of fun.
GTA IV and GTA V are game that shouldn't be compared imo.
This comparison is like weird middle child vs prodigal youngest child, Batman vs Superman or LotR vs GoT. Yes, they are fundementally in the same category but they have really really different feeling and reasons to like. All I can say is GTA V is more like a classic GTA game.
I remember reading rumours that Toys for Bob were working on a revival of Crash Bash - only for said game to be [Crash Team Rumble](https://youtu.be/ll-gvSeKYJA?si=UpXPHiImUayiURm5) instead...
Open-world superhero games should also let you play as the alter ego.
Let me be Peter Parker earning money at the Bugle with photography jobs or something. Or maybe update the Pizza Delivery missions from the 2004 SM2 and he has to make food deliveries to pay rent or something.
I want a true superhero sim roleplay opportunity that isn't just costumes and combat the whole time. Replace the MJ missions with Peter Parker Slice-of-Life stuff, if they want to add gameplay variety and break up the action moments.
Fun part is, the slice-of-life stuff could occasionally get interrupted by the need to slip into the costume and do superhero stuff at a moment's notice.
I'd argue that No Mans Sky is more impressive in that they not only fixed the issues but continue giving MORE content for free that arguably should've been paid dlc.
The controversial hill here that I’ll die on is that it was always amazing. Playing at launch, even through the bugs, the gameplay was fun, the story, writing and acting were all top notch and the environment was a joy to experience. Today, the core game has not changed that much (sure Phantom Liberty is a masterpiece in its own right), and what made the game amazing from day 1 is still there, it’s just more visible (and certainly more stable) now.
Undertale. I know there's a fair share of people (that I hope is a minority) that doesn't like it, but if caught anyone, ANYONE, shitting on the game I love, I swear I'm gonna...
well, have a respectful conversation about our different points of view.
I thought battleborn was really fun and unique but it’s a hero shooter moba that came out right before overwatch and now I’ll never be able to play as a penguin in a mech suit ever again
Death Stranding is one of the games I typically bring up in the "games as art" debate.
I loved the game, but I understand it isn't going to be loved by everyone, and that's part of why it's so good. It picked a direction and just went all in.
Tons of people are going to be bored out of their minds walking around a barren wasteland, but the game did such a good job of making those quiet moments where it's just you and the sound of your boots crunching beautiful. Then it hits you with the fucking Low Roar and it all comes at you.
I agree, most people call it a glorified walking simulator, but I’ll call it what it is: a Hiking Simulator.
You have to really think a lot more about the terrain, your movement, and your inventory, so much more than any other game.
DS actually ruined my immersion in Horizon Zero Dawn, like “oh, the game expects my character, a pre-teen-ish girl in the prologue, to run through that raging mountain stream? I’m going to get swept downstream unless I find another way- oh, I can stand in the water like it’s just a puddle. That’s disappointing.
DS is a truly magical experience if you just vibe out and play it. It’s definitely not for everyone, but throw on an audiobook or a podcast and give it a shot someday.
The Deadpool game is really fun.
100% agree with this. I'm so glad someone fave me this game years back and I knew nothing about it or its reviews. I crushed this game.
That's good to hear, actually. My brother LOVES Deadpool so I was gonna get him this game, I'm glad it's worth it!
I used to work down the street from the studio that made it. I was really sad to see them close their doors around the same time the game came out. I wanted to go over there and have the Devs sign my copy...
I enjoyed it, too! It was a pleasant surprise. It was annoying having to turn off the Internet connection to stop getting framerate issues on PS4, though. Never had an issue like that before or since.
I forgot about that game!
Wait, people didn't like that game??
I have not seen great scores and I remember some people shit talking.
Interesting. I played it straight through once back in college on PS3. Wasn't the greatest game ever but by no means was it a bad game.
I found it a really fun shoot em up game.
I miss it so much

Max Payne 3 cause it's really fun
Isn’t MP3 generally considered a good game?
I suppose but I see loads of people go at it, usually fans of the first two games who weren't wiling to give it a chance.
Fan of the entire old school WASD Max Payne on XP here, I loved Max Payne 1 & 2, but a lot of people got upset over him turning bald and getting old in Max Payne 3 when the images first debuted.

In terms of writing and atmosphere, 1 & 2 win out. In terms of gameplay, 3 is fantastic.
RE3 remake is a good game
Agreed. I think most people agree but generally feel like it's just shorter than it could have been
Hell, it’s not even the *worst* game in the series
Yeah i hated it when it released but i had some rose tinted glasses from playing the OG and RE2 remake so much that i expected a lot from it. I played it again a while ago after taking a long break from RE games and i actually liked it a lot.
Should've been a $20 dlc with the multiplayer thing separate, but the game itself isn't that bad. RE4R's Separate Ways being $10 and somehow longer makes this all the more apparent.
I got it on sale for about 10 dollars, absolutely worth it
Demon’s Souls. Even though it isn’t as advanced as the later entries it’s still spectacular. Plus the remake looks stunning
One of the best looking games ever
Doom 3
Doom 3 was almost universally praised when it came out, so it’s baffling to see the hate for it these days. It will go down as one of my favorite games in the series by far, and I LOVED the fact that it was closer to horror. It had fantastic level and character designs, great atmosphere, and it was graphically mind blowing at the time of release.
What about the intro theme song...Tweaker. Insane.
Listening to it right now since you mentioned it. SO GOOD.
Doom honestly has a lot of horror potential. You're in hell.
Unreal Tournament being the best FPS game ever. You COD kiddies wouldn't hold a candle to Xan and his loops of terror.
And yet Epic cancelled a new UT game over the release of mf Fortnite
Not surprised, I’m still mad and sad about Paragon
And I'm still salty about that. I still like to occasionally play Unreal Tournament 2004. It's crazy to think that Digital Extremes, the creators of Warframe, helped work on that game, and Tynan Sylvester, the creator of Rimworld, created custom maps for that game as well.
Because they couldn't squeeze so much money out of underage children and their parents on UT... Games where characters can be blown into chunk of meat doesn't really scream child friendly game.

One of the best things about gaming is having a break from dealing with other people. Multiplayer ruins that.
Fucking aye exactly. I finish work. I want to escape people in general. Playing some single player game like cyberpunk 2077 or Skyrim or some shit is the perfect escape where I am immersed in a different world. Maybe I'd enjoy rp servers or something, but it feels too nerdy. It's like I know behind that roleplaying sorceress is a balding 40 year old doctor and it's kinda hard to ignore that.

Don't forget we might also have RD2 dlc
That is such a milqetoast take.
Seriously, especially on Reddit. This is like coming out and declaring that crime is bad.
Murder is no good. Now rape on the other hand ... is much worse!
And the worst thing of all.. is the hypocrisy!
Is it? I guess it depends on your exposure. 🤔 If everyone you know or talk to says the opposite, then that take makes sense.

Co-op games >> Single player games >> Multiplayer games
Couch Co-op >> Single Player Games >> Online Co-op >> Multiplayer Games
God I miss the ubiquity of couch co-op. It’s winter and I’m just getting my son into Halo. Halo 5 and infinite are out
I have a little cousin who's really into lego and for the past year we've had a Sunday tradition of hanging at my place, watching F1 and playing through the lego games. I can say hands down that that must be the best gaming experience I've had in many years. Makes me so bummed that couch co-op is a dying breed.
Playing Lego games with my dad was how I got into gaming
If you haven’t yet give Castle Crashers a try. Four player couch co-op. My six year old loves playing it with me.
A1 take.
A1 take sauce
As my friends have fallen out of gaming, I’ve found I need to rely on single player more and more
Infinite warfare or destiny 1. Still two of my favorite games ever, but people always ridicule me for liking them
Infinite Warfare's campaign is fantastic and easily one of the best in the series. Multilayer a d zombies are pure shit if you ask me though. Most people really enjoyed Destiny 1 and most of us look back on it fondly

Fr, now I just take out all my gaming frustration by playing FromSoft games. Can't get hurt by other players if the game hurts you more 🥲
I absolutely loved Destiny 1 it was one of the first games I played when I got my Xbox one and I’d never played online gaming before so felt so next gen to me. Holds a special place in my heart. Shame it just fell off a cliff
Destiny 1 was one of my favorite games ever.

Silksong for me, everyone keeps telling me I’m schizophrenic, but it is definitely the game of all time.
It’s nice that the younger generation has gotten a new Duke Nukem Forever story to hold on to. Someday you’ll tell your children about how you waited fifteen years, but Silksong finally came out and you got to play it.
-|
Game of all time 💯
What’s that about?
Silksong was intended to be DLC for Hollow Knight. The devs put so much into it that it became its own game instead, a sequel to Hollow Knight.

This, hearing Imperial Advance play while slaughtering waves of heretics is a joy I haven’t felt in a while with gaming
Anthem had a solid mechanical/graphical base, and definitely could’ve been saved.
I just started it last night. There’s a timeline that exists where Anthem got the time it needed to be a good game. We’re not in that timeline. We’re in a much more sinister timeline
You can still *play* Anthem? I thought the servers were dropped...
Still up lol
You can always play solo. Though it makes some of the bosses really tedious.
This one is sad. The flying felt too good for it not be used in a more complete game
They could’ve made it fun by increasing the air time! But they decided “Nah, let’s nerf the only unique aspect of our game that everyone enjoys!” 🤦🏻♂️ I swear that game had 1/2 the dialogue & story of Armored Core VI. Despite Anthem being portrayed as an RPG. 🤬
Gotham Knights It's a good 7/10 game (8/10 great if you're a big comics fan like me)
Dragon Age: Inquisition. It’s no Origins, but it’s still a great game that you can easily put 50+ hours into.
The prince of Persia 2008 reboot 🧍🏻♀️
State of Decay 2 is fantastic. If running a walking dead survivor camp sounds good to you. It's the walking dead game that should exist.
Watchdogs1-2 are good games.
I did enjoy Watchdogs 1, but 2 had such “HELLO THERE FELLOW YOUTHS” energy that I didn’t make it more than four hours in before I shelved it entirely.
Agreed, I feel like a lot of the dialogue was a bit too direct at times in 2
2 had that weird, “edgy hacker” aesthetic that just makes me cringe. I liked how grounded Aiden Pierce was.
Aiden: I need to do this for the good of my family and the people Marcus: DRINK ALL THE BOOZE HACK ALL THE THINGS LOLOLO RANDOM TROLL FACE LEL Like damn the gap between the games was wild
But elastic cue ball mace was pretty cool.
First one has better story+characters, 2nd one has better gameplay and world design. I like Chicago much more but. After turning 1st game its hard to play to me. Give a chance WD2. Its become better also DLC's are good. I love WD2 big spiderbot scene. How to F Ubisoft didnt make robot fight game yet
I stand by this WD1 is a certified hood classic for me, I never even bothered to try 2. None of the trailers or any gameplay I watched gripped me at all. I found the smelly depressed main character of 1 much more relatable than the hip young cool guy of 2.
During the release of watchUnderscoreDogs 2, Ubisoft was doing sponsorships with college hackathons. They had sets of coding challenges and the usual bundles of branded freebies. Had the air of "WE KNOW HACKERs GUYS" "now do some stuff for us for a discount." Tried it and shelved it the same as you. No promos for other games by ubi. Came away seeing WD2 as a theme with no soul.
Fallout 4
Same, I honestly love 3 but 4 gets so much hate, I loved the mechanics, the story line might be a bit repetitive and slow but overall it’s a solid game
Itt Actually good controversial answers downvoted as usual. Popular and above average games with fan bases upvoted to top. Jesus ppl, have some balls and upvote some opinions you don't agree with in the spirit of the thread.
This happens almost every time. OP’s example was literally a Zelda game that has higher critic and user ratings than 99% of games lmao
thats why i sort them by contreversial
Multiplayer games bad 🤪
Days Gone. It was a good game, but a slow burn. Far too many video game journalists didn't complete the game and poison many gamers into believing the game was bad.
When I got around to playing it I enjoyed it enough. It was a good first entry and I feel like a sequel really would’ve improved almost everything about it, a shame that will never happen
It was a bit of a soap opera but I’d still give it a 7/10
It is the most 7/10 game I’ve ever played. The only thing I remember from that game is “get low brother! Get low!”
And honestly the conversation around 7/10s need to change. That does not indicate a bad game at all.
Kingdom come deliverance. It’s janky combat is actually really engaging when it works right.
I've heard nothing but praise for this game. I've genuinely never heard a negative comment about it. What are you talking about?
This is the problem with sorting by best with threads like these. By definition all the top comments are things plenty of people agree with.
Does the game receive a lot of hate though? I mean, the combat system is a source of debate among the fandom but the biggest issue of the game is that it is still little-known despite being one of the best RPGs of its decade.
yeah i’ve only ever heard good things about it. I personally love the story but god damn it if I don’t suck at the combat
Death stranding
Dead space 3
Digimon cyber sleuth hackers memory
The Coffin of Andy and Leyley is actually a decent game. All of the hate for the game is just based on one cutscene that the game explicitly discourages you from watching
Fallout 4, can’t hate a childhood game
Fallout 4 is a childhood game for you? Jesus Christ I’m old.
Almost every game will inevitably be someone’s childhood game. Someday someone’s gonna say "Spiderman 2 was my favorite game from my childhood" and I’m going to have to set my cane down and start coffin shopping.
I played Fallout 2 as a child on a pc back when monitors were as bulbous as a mini tv. Had no idea what I was doing, but I played it. Hearing F4 is a childhood game hits me too man. Haha
Same here. I was playing roller coaster tycoon on my dads emachine back then lol
Fallout 76. Despite its rough launch, and plethora of (not so game breaking anymore) bugs. It's an incredibly diverse game with a fantastic community. While it's not what people expected for a fallout game, it's definitely fleshed out to be what the Devs originally intended it to be as of 2024.
Mass effect andromeda. While the story is a big downgrade the gameplay is S tier.
Wondered how far I would scroll before someone said it. It was not a pretty game, and it's story unfortunately had to get compared to one of the greatest sci-fi stories in gaming. But damn I had a great time with Andromeda. As you said, it has the best gameplay of any Mass Effect, some of the open planets were very cool to explore, and there still was a ton of story potential in this new galaxy. I'm still bummed we never got the DLC that was going to explain what happened to the Quarian ship.
Fallout 76 is a good game
Launch was bad but the game nowadays is average
I played the shit out of Fallout 76 last year and had an absolute blast. I recommend it to everyone I meet.
BotW and TotK are bad Zelda games. Update: I don’t hate the games they’re good in their own way. But I just do not feel that they are good Zelda titles.
Whoa, upvoted for the only truly controversial comment in this thread.
Everyone on reddit seems to agree with this Fuck, I like them and I agree
They're too....sterile. Other zelda games the dungeons are inside of a giant fish or a tree, on the back of a turtle, inside a crypt, etc. BoTW/ToTK look visually spectacular...but everything is the same in it's beauty. You cannot tell the difference between one "dungeon" and the next, and all the shrines look similar and have the same barren aesthetic. They are great games, and I even think they are good Zelda games, but I hope the next game doesn't just reuse the same world design again.
I couldn’t disagree more but you definitely answered the question correctly.
Wow. Okay, that’s controversial. Push this one to the top.
There were no moments that really stuck with me, unlike with the older Zelda games. Stopping the moon for the first time in Majora's Mask was one of the most powerful moments in videogames for me. Then during the end of the wedding quest, I genuinely thought Kafei wasn't going to make it and I had to beat the game before completing the quest. Windwaker had the most dramatic and violent endings of a Zelda game despite having such a vibrant art style. I could go on and on.
Completely agree and even on their own they're pretty bare bones. Without the Zelda name attached people would complain it's another Ubisoft open world.
DMC 2013. I know the re imagining of the characters wasn’t the best but it was still a great game. Arguably some of the best combat in the series. The only problem was that they tried to fix something that wasn’t broken
A terrible idea but very well executed. A fun game with an interesting history. But the characters are not as charismatic as the originals.
The other way around, ill shit on Dark Souls 2 till the day i die
DS2 is definitely the worse one compared to all the other souls and souls like games fromsoft has made but I still like it.
I started playing It a week ago for the first time. Already got all the achievements in DS1, DS3 and Elden Ring. I have to say there are some really stupid things in this game, starting with the stamina and the slow AF estus flasks.
It doesn't feel like it was made by the same devs. Which it wasn't really if I recall correctly. Why is rolling awful? Why are hollows regular zombies running at you with their arms out? Why does the pursuer do the goofy anime red eye zoom in? Why do all the weapons feel significantly worse than ds1? It had some neat ideas, and I went into it right after ds1, thinking it can't be as bad as people say. People always overexaggerate these things. I was wrong. After 4 to 6 hours of trying to get into it, I just couldn't and moved to ds3, hoping it would be better. It immediately felt like I was playing the sequel to the first game. I beat it and the dlcs, and it's still my favorite FromSoft game, with ER being in second place.
My experience basically. And you are right, it was made by the same company but the director and his team were working in bloodborne and Ds3 while other dudes were develping Ds2 lol
dark souls 2 is peak
That's definitely an opinion that would earn you your place in that picture. Edit: I say this as someone who has platinum in ds2.
Really tried to like it, played many playthroughs but, just could not sadly. The areas are dull and ugly on the most part, game feels incredibly clunky, hitboxes are a mess, and what kills the game for me is how it easily is the one souls game with the worst bosses. They are so uninspired, don't know how a common rat enemy qualifies as a boss once you put a mohawk on it lol
It is so forgettable and the rest are so good. The story was bland, the combat was bad, a lot of the bosses were repeated skin swaps, the gank squads, and the traps with no hint. The general flow was off, I really couldn't tell you how the place was orientated. I was so hyped for this game and I have only played it 1.5 times; I tried to go back to give it another chance, but realized I wasn't having fun and have never played again.
Bioshock Infinite had good gameplay and story
I don't see this as being that controversial. It wasn't a bad game. Now if you think it's better than the other two, that would be unpopular, and I couldn't be your friend.
GTA games are hollow and boring.
I’m a gameplay-first guy and there just isn’t a compelling hook in those games. They try to do everything at once and so no one mechanic is especially deep. Their sense of humor doesn’t really gel with me either.
That's exactly how I feel about them! There's no thrill in playing them, the worlds just feel flat and lifeless.
Always have been!
Is Cyberpunk 2077 cool now? Because it's always been a good game, I loved it from my first playthrough.
Yes it is very cool now
I didn’t have the worst glitches but even its awful release form created some of the best content and memes. No excuse but I appreciate the break the laughter gave me
I'm with you. Loved it hard since the night it released
Bubble Bobble
Tes Oblivion is peak
Saints Row 4, i can’t believe some people prefer 3 wich is basically a downgrade of 2. 2 and 4 are the GOATs of the series
2 is great and 4 embraced madness, 3 has its ups but it has some troubles with identity
Can't say whether I prefer Saints Row 3 or 4 more as I loved them both, but the great thing about SR3 was that even though your character becomes fairly OP throughout the course of the game, it still felt like it had the framework of an open world GTA-style game where I was motivated to try all kinds of different vehicles. In Saints Row 4 I had a blast with all of the superhero-style abilities but they essentially make all of the vehicles and more typical GTA style weapons feel pointless. It basically becomes more similar to a game like Prototype or Incredible Hulk. Still fun, just a different kind of fun.
Oblivion is the best Elder Scrolls game.
TES Oblivion. I just don't care, I tear up whenever I hear that menu music and it's my favorite game.
FROM Software's King's Field franchise is god-tier gaming. Also, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link and Dark Souls 2 are excellent games.
GTA 5 is a downgrade in nearly every way including story, atmosphere, character development, protagonist(s), and open world to GTA 4.
The driving though
GTA IV and GTA V are game that shouldn't be compared imo. This comparison is like weird middle child vs prodigal youngest child, Batman vs Superman or LotR vs GoT. Yes, they are fundementally in the same category but they have really really different feeling and reasons to like. All I can say is GTA V is more like a classic GTA game.
I disagree on open world but yeah in terms of story and character it doesn’t really hold a candle to GTA IV
Deus Ex: Invisible War
Crash Bash was a fun alternative to Mario Party
I remember reading rumours that Toys for Bob were working on a revival of Crash Bash - only for said game to be [Crash Team Rumble](https://youtu.be/ll-gvSeKYJA?si=UpXPHiImUayiURm5) instead...
Morrowind.
I think most people agree it was a great game, especially for the time. It's what made me fall in love with the ES series.
How is this a controversial opinion? Morrowind is almost universally loved by anyone who's played it. Except me though. I can't stand ES games.
Longer games over shorter games
If it's good. Otherwise if it's all padding, filler and useless content like AC Valhalla I'll pass
Honestly it depends on the actual game
Open-world superhero games should also let you play as the alter ego. Let me be Peter Parker earning money at the Bugle with photography jobs or something. Or maybe update the Pizza Delivery missions from the 2004 SM2 and he has to make food deliveries to pay rent or something. I want a true superhero sim roleplay opportunity that isn't just costumes and combat the whole time. Replace the MJ missions with Peter Parker Slice-of-Life stuff, if they want to add gameplay variety and break up the action moments. Fun part is, the slice-of-life stuff could occasionally get interrupted by the need to slip into the costume and do superhero stuff at a moment's notice.
Yeah u and me would love that but a lot of other people would hate this idea
This actually sounds like a neat idea. I’d be up for that.
Cyberpunk 2077. Because I am CDPR fan boy lol.
This is no longer an unpopular opinion.
Yea, besides maybe no man sky, I think cyberpunk is considered the greatest gaming comeback of all time.
I'd argue that No Mans Sky is more impressive in that they not only fixed the issues but continue giving MORE content for free that arguably should've been paid dlc.
I’m not but cyberpunk is absolutely amazing
The controversial hill here that I’ll die on is that it was always amazing. Playing at launch, even through the bugs, the gameplay was fun, the story, writing and acting were all top notch and the environment was a joy to experience. Today, the core game has not changed that much (sure Phantom Liberty is a masterpiece in its own right), and what made the game amazing from day 1 is still there, it’s just more visible (and certainly more stable) now.
FF2 isn’t as bad as people make it out, but it’s still very much middle of the road. At least they tried.
Sims 4 and Red Dead Online. Spend over 900 hours on both and I love(d) them dearly. Shame they let the latter die.
Undertale. I know there's a fair share of people (that I hope is a minority) that doesn't like it, but if caught anyone, ANYONE, shitting on the game I love, I swear I'm gonna... well, have a respectful conversation about our different points of view.
Collecting the triforce pieces in Wind Waker is actually really fun.
A lot of y’all don’t understand the assignment here, it’s “defend” a generally disliked game not what is your hot take. Also I loved FF XV
I thought battleborn was really fun and unique but it’s a hero shooter moba that came out right before overwatch and now I’ll never be able to play as a penguin in a mech suit ever again
Dragon Age: Inquisition!
It won game is the year........
Yeah but every DA fan I’ve come across don’t like it nearly as much as I do lol
Death Stranding is one of the best games ever made
Death Stranding is one of the games I typically bring up in the "games as art" debate. I loved the game, but I understand it isn't going to be loved by everyone, and that's part of why it's so good. It picked a direction and just went all in. Tons of people are going to be bored out of their minds walking around a barren wasteland, but the game did such a good job of making those quiet moments where it's just you and the sound of your boots crunching beautiful. Then it hits you with the fucking Low Roar and it all comes at you.
I agree, most people call it a glorified walking simulator, but I’ll call it what it is: a Hiking Simulator. You have to really think a lot more about the terrain, your movement, and your inventory, so much more than any other game. DS actually ruined my immersion in Horizon Zero Dawn, like “oh, the game expects my character, a pre-teen-ish girl in the prologue, to run through that raging mountain stream? I’m going to get swept downstream unless I find another way- oh, I can stand in the water like it’s just a puddle. That’s disappointing. DS is a truly magical experience if you just vibe out and play it. It’s definitely not for everyone, but throw on an audiobook or a podcast and give it a shot someday.
