Share your unfiltered, unpopular gaming opinions and let’s dive into some real discussions. If you come across a view you disagree with, feel free to (respectfully) defend your perspective. I don’t want to see anyone say stuff like “we’re all entitled to our own opinions.” Let’s pretend like gaming is a science and we are all award winning scientists.
My Unpopular Opinion:
I believe the criticism against battle royales is often unwarranted. Most complaints revolve around constant content updates, microtransactions, and toxic player communities
Many criticize the frequent content updates, often cosmetic, as overwhelming. However, it’s optional, and no other industry receives flak for releasing more. I’ve never seen anyone complain about too many Lays or coke flavors.
Pay-to-win concerns are mostly outdated; microtransactions are often for cosmetics. If you don’t have the self control to not buy a purple glittery gun, then I’m glad you don’t play the games anymore, but I don’t think it makes the game bad.
The annoying player bases is the one I understand the most. I don’t really have a point against this except that it’s better to play with friends.
Overall I think battle royale games are pretty fun and rewarding. Some of my favorite gaming memories were playing stuff like apex legends late at night with friends or even playing minecraft hunger games with my cousins like 10 years ago. A long time ago I heard in a news segment that toy companies found out that people are willing to invest a lot of time and energy into winning ,if they know there will be a big reward at the end, and battle royales tap into that side of my brain.
This is just my opinion
Very specific but Assassins Creed: Revelations is the best game of the series (I’ve only played through Unity). It came just before the games’ mythos got too convoluted and took itself too seriously. The combat and parkour is smooth and Constantinople is a beautiful world to explore.
Also, Homefront: The Revolution is a fun lite-stealth FPS that has held up very well for the amount of hate it got on release.
Home front The Revolution luckily does have a good level of cult respect on YouTube nowadays, so I don’t think that’s an unpopular opinion these days, it’s just a cult one. I really enjoyed that game as well! Good to hear some more respect for it.
It does? First I’ve heard of it but I’m glad to see it. That game got torn apart on release but I played it a few months ago and it was actually a good time
From what I’ve seen, yes. I watch a long form analyst named Noah Caldwell-Gervais who did a video on both homefront games and shared a lot of the love I had for the second one. Check it out if you’d like! He’s an excellent writer
I got that game cheap and enjoyed it for what it was. I think if I had paid full price my experience would have been quite different. It seemed well put together though, a tighter experience than some of the Farcry games and Ghost Recon Wildlands.
Wait wait is “Revelations is the best AC game” an unpopular opinion? I didn’t realize that at all.
I’ve played all of them except Rogue and finished everything except the newest three that I really do not enjoy nearly as much.
Idk how much it’s changed since 2016ish when i stopped following gaming news/discussion but at the time it was definitely the most hated of the mainline games
I’ve never had as much fun online gaming with my buddy than with AC: Revelations.
