Unpopular Opinions V5: "I still don't like Half Life 2." - General

[QUOTE=skylortrexle;49264385]Yes. This thread is called Unpopular Opinions, after all. :v:[/QUOTE] And that'd be ok, if you just said he was a terrible writer, but saying [QUOTE]the only reason his stuff is popular is because its full of killing and sex[/QUOTE] is just not true.

[QUOTE=Blazedol;49264417]And that'd be ok, if you just said he was a terrible writer, but saying is just not true.[/QUOTE] It's still my opinion, and it is indeed unpopular.

The only Games of Thrones fans that I can think of off the top of my head are female, and they don't reference sex. Instead, they reference the conflicts of power and the character development. I think you're simply buying into the parodies of Games of Thrones. I don't believe you're giving it an honest chance if you're saying stuff like that and the genuine fans are talking about literally everything else.

I myself watch GoT and the sex really doesn't bother me, tbf, i'd probably prefer not to see it. I actually only watch it atm to see Cersei get fucked over by everyone. Margery to fuck everyone up. Sansa to stop being a wet blanket. And to watch The Mountain be almost naked.

[QUOTE=greeley;49263982]I think people with age gaps in relationships really isn't that bad. The only grey area with it is when they are between 16-19 with someone older than 40. But i see no issue with like a 22 y/o with a 38 y/o or a 25 y/o with a 48 y/o etc... If you like them and they are both happy, who are we to judge?[/QUOTE] While its not inherently wrong and to automatically assume something is wrong is stupid. That being said its not exactly unheard of for a 22 y/o to be completely naive in a relationship due to inexperience. But yet again that being said all cases should be judged individually at all times.

[QUOTE=RoboChimp;49257894]I think Game of Thrones is a piece of shit, it's just a really sadistic medieval sopa opera. Perhaps I'm missing something here but does the fact that the bad guys win all the time make for good drama or something? Do people just like watching George RR Martin's sadistic fantasies be acted out or..? I guess it appeals to the creepy old pedo in people. The show has no redeeming elements it's just one massive piece of shit, unless you like psychopaths wining the day, yeah the biggest asshole winning the day. If you're in love with the horror porn genre, get help, there is something really wrong with you, see a psychiatrist. Sometime I wish the real world would just nuke Westeros.[/QUOTE] I think Game of Thrones is overrated as fuck and I don't enjoy it at all, but I'm not about to start calling out the fans on it and suggesting that they're all horrible people. Are you sure [B]you're[/B] not the psychopath?

I'd describe myself as a sane individual, but that said I get an intense feeling of pleasure whenever I picture Cersei Lannister sufering the longest and cruelest death the human mind could imagine

[QUOTE=EliaMoroes;49264917]I'd describe myself as a sane individual, but that said I get an intense feeling of pleasure whenever I picture Cersei Lannister sufering the longest and cruelest death the human mind could imagine[/QUOTE] and nobody would blame you

she's just a bit crazy is all

[QUOTE=ImpSnob;49265320]she's just a bit crazy is all[/QUOTE] She does act shameful sometimes.

[QUOTE=proch;49264289]I think it's weird how the same people who can't shut up about how horrible anime is seem to adore final fantasy[/QUOTE] I dont care for either. I dont yap on about it.

Hotline Miami 2 was my personal goty.

I have no GOTY because 2015 has been pretty lame for games. I think I played 2 new games this year.

witcher 3 is my favorite game of the past like 5 years, its incredible this year has been great in terms of games released

[QUOTE=Atlascore;49267193]What. 2015 has been an amazing year for games, so many great games across a ton of different genres were released this year.[/QUOTE] I think 2015 has just been a meh year from my perspective. The three big releases everyone got a big dick about this year were Witcher 3, MGS V, and Fallout 4. Problem is, I don't care about Witcher 3 and MGS V at all, and I can't run FO4 until some point next year anyway. And then at most there were games that I was interested in but never really got to play, like Crypt of the Necrodancer, Mario Maker, Splatoon, and Soma. Overall the year was, in my eyes, just average, with some low points. I think it really depends on who you are and what kind of games you like if 2015 was any good or not, although I think everyone probably thinks it was a little better than it was because at least it wasn't fucking the shitpile that was 2014 because holy fucking shit

how can you judge how the year was if you just said you couldn't play most of the games you wanted to play of course you aren't going to have a good year if you can't play any of the games you are interested in

That's like me saying 2015 was a horrible movie year when the only new release I saw was Pixels.

There haven't been any games I was interested in. Otherwise I would have played them.

With the way the new Hitman is being handled and the way they are going to have it released, I would not be surprised if it's the last one ever made because it kills it. It looks an even worse version of Absolution.

That's like me saying 2015 was a horrible movie year when the only new release I saw was Pixels.[/QUOTE] I guess I should have included that what I meant was that I usually had a [I]passing[/I] interest in those games. Take an example, Soma was neat to me but I still haven't bought it and I probably won't ever buy it until it's really cheap because it's not interesting enough to spend my money on it. My family actually got Splatoon and Mario Maker but I don't care enough about them to actually bother playing them. So, yeah. 2015 in my experience wasn't all that compelling for video games. In the movie example, it's like saying 2015 was a meh movie year [I]in my experience[/I] because the only new release I gave enough of a shit to go see was Inside Out.

[QUOTE=ghghop;49267411]That doesn't make it any better, you're still saying things you didn't play were bad or uninteresting[/QUOTE] I don't really notice anything I called straight up bad in that post. And yeah, I'm saying things I didn't play were uninteresting. That's...why I didn't play them.

My GotY is The Long Dark even though it's not released and it was available last year it's just such an authentic, focused experience. It's a survival-genre game without base building of any kind or even a single zombie, which is incredible.

[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;49267419]I don't really notice anything I called straight up bad in that post. And yeah, I'm saying things I didn't play were uninteresting. That's...why I didn't play them.[/QUOTE] Im saying that because you haven't played them yiu only have marketing and impressions from other people that make it seem uninteresting. Your opinions on gaming in 2015 aren't formed from actually experiencing anything other than trailers and hearsay. [editline]7th December 2015[/editline] It just seems weird to judge something that you haven't experienced. If you watched someone actually play something then I'd get it but otherwise I don't get it. Entitled to your own opinion though, blah blah. Gaming is subjective etc etc.

MGSV [i]was[/i] garbage though

I hate sex. I see it as a waste of time and if I could nullify my sex drive, Id be happy. Its been a cause of much misery.

[QUOTE=Blazedol;49266947]Hotline Miami 2 was my personal goty.[/QUOTE] i loved 1 but most of the levels in 2 were just frustrating that soundtrack tho before i played i thought it was just gonna be a bunch of overhyped, average songs but no, it's actually all around amazing

Double Fine needs to be bought out by a bigger company. As their previous projects have shown, they're really terrible with management.

[QUOTE=Sector 7;49267725]MGSV [i]was[/i] garbage though[/QUOTE] Honestly I kinda lost interest on MGSV once I saw how similar it was to PW. I don't know if that's just me but after MGS4 It felt difficult for me to keep my hype up for another game.

I don't give a single fucking shit about GG anyway, to me it's just a bunch of whiners whining about a non-existent problem.
