I don't know, there are some pretty sick people out there.
Oh...have you played the SNES version of Turtles in Time?
I'm a weeaboo and I somewhat agree with you with the best western games. Although I think a lot of eastern european games are a bit too over-ambitious for their own good, and that the non-cellphone indie market is the most interesting aspect of western gaming.

If you can't enjoy playing Turtles in Time co-op with a friend I weep for you.
Whelp, looks I was beaten.

I LOVE THIS THREEAAADD!
I don't think it is shit at all, just very overrated. They are fantastic games that I enjoy, but like I said earlier, it is the Uncharted fanboys that say things like no developer comes close to ND or that Uncharted "is at another level that no other game has come close to" that make me like it less.
The Uncharted games are easily among the best of this generation, but in no way do they stand way above all the other great games of this gen or from past gens.

I did enjoy it, a lot. The NES one as well. But I was a child. Now I find those games too repetitive to be worth my time. Even with a friend, I could be playing (or doing) something else that is more fun.
Maybe, but I can't get over the terrible writing in the games. It's like 4th grade 'design your own Zelda' story level. Now the series doesn't have the best story telling overall, but the Oracle games are brain melting.
I don't even remember the story! I played it most recently like 18 months ago.

Reading this thread while "Los Angeles is Burning" by Bad Religion plays in the background, is a strange form of Zen peace and contentment.
I didn't either, but I just started playing Ages again a few weeks ago and was quite surprised at how bad it is. But once you move past that, the games are really good.

I'll do one better: Saint's Row (the first one) as janky as it is is better than any GTA game.
The immediate dismissal of indie games by some people just for being "indie" makes me upset.
That door swings both ways.

Far Cry 2 is the best game of this generation.
Have you ever tried to beat one (a good one, not "win with elbows only" Double Dragon) without continuing? If so, did you ever succeed? If not, did you figure out exactly why? Or did you just assume it was impossible?
Sorry. I just don't think you know a damn thing about 2D action games.

Oh now that someone reminds me about indie games.
Limbo sucks ass. I was fooled into playing this game and in the end I just couldn't understand why it gets so much praise when the only thing really special about the game is the atmosphere/visuals.

I have no problem with the hate here. Just saying I don't know if its controversial anymore after 95% of the posts say it. Haha.

Bioware are going in a good direction. Dragon Age 2 had flaws, but was brilliant. Mass Effect 2 was the best game released in the last ten years.
JRPGs are terrible.
999 has a dodgy story and some dreadful writing.
Deadly Premonition is a fucking dreadful game.
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is the best game in the series.

If only this was controversial. (Well, I'm not sure I'm making sense here lol. I wish you wrote your sentence differently.)
EDIT: Beat 'em ups/Belt-scrolling games are a lot of fun really. Don't know how you could say they are "for kids", like most arcade games of that era. (My personal favorite is The Punisher.)
This is true. I don't have a problem with indie games, but the 2D platformer market is as saturated as the FPS one.

Pretty much. If I didn't get enjoyment out of them I wouldn't buy them at all. Yet here I am. I just find it funny when people slobber over them and say they wish more games were like Uncharted, and that they raise the bar for what gaming should be. Great for them, taste and all, but not for me. A future of Uncharted-like games would cause me to quickly become disinterested in the medium. What I love most about gaming, and what attracted me to the medium in the first place, is not where Uncharted excels.
On the other end of the spectrum, I know people who were attracted to gaming (partially) because of Uncharted and what it does. There's something for everybody.

Controversy is my middle name
Kefka is not a deep or a compelling character, we never know we he is doing what he is doing.
System Shock 1 & 2 have one of the best writing in the entire medium, it's deep and disturbing.
Final Fantasy XIII is not a bad game, just an incredibly boring one. (which to some can qualify as bad)
The most of the SNES JRPGs are outdated and average at best.
Games for windows Live is the best online gaming service.
Ninja Gaiden is better than God of War and Devil May Cry.
Sonic & SEGA all stars racing > any Mario Kart.
Halo is the best multiplayer game after TF2.
The Kirby franchise is better than Zelda, I had more fun with the Kirby games more than the Zelda games.

The german translation of Links Awakening is, aside from a few good spots, incredibly awful, very childish and filled with textboxes which only contain dots, but we should just except that from Claude D. Moyse.
Oracle of Ages was quite an improvement over this, it was also done by a different translator.

Star Ocean 4 is a fantastic JRPG. Spent 200 hours on it.
You have a weird definition of controversial. Sounds more like undeniable truth.
Agreed. First time I was pissed at paying 12 bucks for an XBL, because I'm usually smarter than that. It took me time to learn to hate it, but eventually I did.
Vanishing Point was much better and more fun than the Grand Tourismo, and I tried really hard to get into it.
Yeah, let me try again, (I'm not very good at being confrontational).
People who immediately dismiss indie games due to the fact they are "indie"(A meaningless term) are ignoring some of the most innovative games and fun experiences in years. Their ignorance is a detriment to the industry.

"Pro" gamers are the worst kind of gamers.
Anything after Resident Evil 3 is a wacky spin-off.
Unreal Tournament 3 > 2K4.

Online pass is really no big deal and people should stop being so butthurt about it.
jailbreaking and modding systems should not be defended, its a gateway to piracy, piracy hurts the industry, you dont need to run emulators on your damn Ps3.

Fuck people who think this.
You could at least take me out to dinner first.
This, so much, except the 200 hours...that's heavy! XD
