You really don't understand how game development works at all, do you?
This is not controversial at all. FFXIII in particular had awful dialogue. At least in FFX's defense, it was the first game in the series with voice acting and I'm sure that complicated things... but it was still usually bad.

I kinda find the Wii-U gamepad unnecessary. I don't like the idea of gaming on two screens.
Certain games aren't enjoyable to me unless I can play as a female character.

Oh, so these are joke posts? That makes sense now.
Cross gen games are a blessing, since IMO new consoles are severely lacking in must have games compared to previous generations at the same point. I wouldn't buy a PS4 to play Dragon Quest Heroes or Mortal Kombat X, but I still want to play them, and I'll be able to :] I won't buy a PS4 without a nice deal and a game I really want to play. Street Fighter V would definitely do the trick, but I'm buying the version with free online play.

Fallout series just suck.
It's funny because none of the games you mentioned are exclusive, except Elder Scrolls 1&2 (Arena and Daggerfall) and those games were arguably the worst in the series.
Play 1 and 2.

- Plot in video games doesn't matter (especially when most of video games have bad plot), if the characters and the lore are cool, I'm ok with this.
- RPG should be shorter, better fast paced.
- I liked FF XIII and loved XIII-2 (however Lightning returns looks so bad I still haven't play it)
- FPS are made to be more immersive games and yet I find it less immersive than others kinds of games just because most of them felt like I move a camera and I have no foot.
- Pokémon MMO would destroy Pokémon. They should keep the basic formula but change the level design, the pace, the balance...
- Buying a console Day One is probably the biggest error a player can do.
- We don't need more advanced graphics and powerful console, we need great art designs.
- Motion gaming can contribute to the future of video games. Gamers were too close minded for this.
- AAA games are most of them average or even bad. They sells a lot only because the marketing is good.
- AAA games contribution in the future of video games is almost as frightening as mobile games.
- People who give a shit about metacritic should not be taken seriously.

I agree with pretty much all of this, except I think the problem with motion gaming is that the technology isn't ready yet.
To add to this, i really enjoy the "collectathon" nature of ubi's games as the way i play most open world games is to explore the world and do as much side content as possible so that i can upgrade my character/guns/etc and power through the main story missions like a beast.
Almost every first party developer/publisher is overrated to some degree while almost every well known third party is underrated. The first party groups are shielded by attitudes of adversarial fanboyism while the third parties become the convenient scapegoat for every development/business practice people don't like. This is reflected in how their games are received.
Also, no one other than Nintendo and indies gives a flying feck about making good platformers. I wonder if the genre is dying and get sad.

Aren't recent Rayman games good apparently?

I can agree with these opinions. Motion Control gaming will have it's day in the sun.
The medium has yet to be fully realized.
Yes! I would consider them very notable exceptions to that trend.

You obviously don't play Nintendo games then, aside of the New Super Mario games and maybe Pokemon, Nintendo makes sequels that change up things most of the time and are amazing quality wise.
What does that even mean? I'm a Nintendo fan and I play tons of non-Nintendo games.

Really?
Zelda has been a formula since Link To The Past.
ALBW is the biggest change the formula has had, going from linear design to non-linear.

It's the same formula but that doesn't mean it's the same game again and again, the execution and many things about the games are different.
Even Majora's Mask, which used the same engine and looked pretty similar to OoT changed the tone and everything else about the game to give us an amazing experience that did not feel like OoT at all.
Nintendo changes up their games a lot through game design too.
The differences aren't easily observed. Like NSMB2 with its "Coins everywhere!" design makes it play fundamentally different than other NSMB games, even if it superficially looks like them. Game design is hard to observe in general, which is where Nintendo excels (and prompts many short-sighted/imperceptive people to yakk on about how they're the same game).

I thought the latter chapters of Bravely Default made the game better and some people who complain about it are really overreacting. The battles in those chapters really show off the great battle system and are also pretty challenging. You can also skip most of the stuff in a few hours so even if you dislike it you can just blaze through it.
What a weird comment, it's not an opinion and it's not even true. How can you even throw all Nintendo fans in the same group?
My issue was that it was done 4 times, which is 3 times too many.

But when people say "it's the same game", it can mean that the formula is the same with different art assets.
MM and ALBW were changes to the formula. TP, WW, SS, OoT aren't.
In your "ideal world" all games would need to have less than a third of its budget to be greenlit - which would not result in a lot of games being made at all with the much smaller margins than in the ps2-days. The result would be all thirdpartys would go mobile, and only the firstpartys would be stuck supporting their own consoles. Multiplattform development is a great thing, because in this day with high production costs and higher risks - games are still being made at all for the consoles.
Sure, some Nintendo-fans do this - but do you claim that no fan of nintendo like even one game that is not nintendo-related? If so, that is so stupid that it cant even be calles an "opinion" - it is just factually untrue.
They suck (my controversial opinion).

Fire Emblem: Awakening is a shit entry to the series because of map design.
As for Fire Emblem in general, same-turn reinforcements shouldn't happen on harder difficulties.
FE11 and 12's character portraits and sprites were fine.
Pokemon has had garbage localization since Nob Ogasawara left (post-Platinum).
Pokemon needs to stop giving us so much plot and leave us alone to explore.
Ace Attorney 5 wasn't funny and the dialogue in AAI was better. The big bad of AA5 was a stupid twist.
Lightning Returns was more fun than both its predecessors.
FFX's combat was incredibly boring -- just turn-based with party shuffling.
FFXV's all-male cast is a breath of fresh air just as X-2 was, and people who complain about it need to accept different party formations.
Etrian Odyssey character art style is terrible, though the outfit designs are fine.
DQIX's main campaign was inferior to the DS DQs and VIII.
Bayonetta in the second game has worse characterization, not as cool as she was in the first game. The second game took itself too seriously sometimes too.
Dynasty Warriors is fun. It also needs to stop giving us bishoujo and bishounen.
Fate/Stay Night is shit.
There is nothing wrong with preferring Japanese with subs over English dubs if you've listened to both.

This, and IX too.
Sure, all the games are about solving puzzles in dungeons. Just like all shooters is about shooting things and all plattformers about jumping. If you play them all though, you will realize they are very different eperiences and all of them had some really innovative stuff that made them very different.
- OoT: jump to 3D. Nobody can seriously say this game is "the same" as lttp - it plays completely different.
- MM: Three day cycle, dark themes etc.
- WW: Huge open world. Also the style. (this is the most "formulaic")
- TP: Motion controls made this completely different from any game ever
- SS: An even more advanced form for motion controls which will probably never be used in a serious game again.
However, the stories are pretty much always the same, but they all have their very distinctive qualities. Btw, a great article by Jim Sterling on this here: http://www.gamesradar.com/if-every-legend-of-zelda-is-the-same-why-do-they-feel-so-different/
Anime art style should not be an excuse to be lazy with character design. You can draw different faces in a cartoony art style, no reason to give everyone the same face with different hair and eye colors.
I agree with this.

Agree with this except I still FE11's character potraits shitty and Awakening is still a good game but you have no challenge in this game because of the horrid map design (there are some good one though but most of them were bland open world game).
Also an another "unpopular" opinion : The cover system combined with auto-regen is probably the worst thing that happened in a TPS, I feel like a coward and playing Duck Hunt.
I'm a huge Nintendo fan and I'm playing Driveclub at the moment, so I'm confused rofl
Dynasty Warriors is a great game because its just mindless fun.
Pokemon has gotten boring recently and they either need to make the game a huge and vast open landscape or super plot driven, pick one... the games size and map size hasn't grown with the game and thats a shame.
Items on SSB games make the game far more fun and chaotic. (Not super unpopular).
Old, Unpolished games are better made than most games since the 6th generation. Very few games from the 7th gen I want to go back and play but I find myself playing PS1/Dreamcast/N64 games on the regular and not just because of nostalgia goggles.
Recent sonic games rock, while I can't say for all games (never played 06 and havent played boom), Sonic Colors, Generations, Unleashed, Lost Worlds, all were great games, its just not what sonic fanboys are used to so they whine (I know, I am one.)

I agree with this opinion and it looks like UC4 took some game design elements from Tomb Raider.
This so much. Changed horror games as a whole and few know what to do with it nowadays.

Nintendo needs to make a console pokemon rpg
This is a controversial opinion? More like wishful thinking.
I should probably sell my Sony systems and PC, right? If only someone had told me all these games were not Nintendo games.
