First off

 

 

Meaning you more than likely will find an opinion that offends you in this thread. So, exit out if you are easily butthurt.

 

Now, this thread is to express opinions you have that aren't exactly popular.

There will be no debates or arguing.

Post your opinion and move on.

You may post an opinion in response to another, but no full blown arguing and trying to convince someone that your opinion is 'right'

This is not a thread for debate, just for opinions.

So keep calm and carry on.

ALSO DO NOT USE OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE WHEN EXPRESSING YOUR OPINION

KNOW YOUR BOUNDARIES

 

 

As for my unpopular opinion:

 

I believe that women should be allowed to wear whatever they want, hell the should be able to shirtless if guys can too, and not be called sluts. They should be able to sleep with who they want, WHEN they want. They aren't hurting you or anyone else so why make them feel bad and call them sluts.

It's not your life and it isn't your business. No need to make someone feel horrid.

I've already made a topic about this, but screw it. I wanna do it again.

 

*clears throat*

 

I think that so many people nowadays, when it comes to movies, shows and the stories of video games, are just so spoiled; like they're all critics and nitpick the crap out of everything. To me, it almost feels like they hate just for the sake of hating.

 

Now I'm not saying that it's wrong to dislike/hate a story; it's perfectly fine. Y'know, opinions are opinions; nothing more. But it just feels like to me that a lot of people try to find the bad things of a movie/show/video game and claim that it's bad because of those things. Like as if the first 15 minutes of a movie was bad and the rest of the movie was incredible and yet people just talk about the bad constantly and claim that the entire movie is bad just because of those first 15 minutes.

 

In my mind, I just think, "Oh shut up and just enjoy the damn movie." I constantly question why so many people have to act like spoiled critics instead of just enjoying the movie/show/video game and be done with it.

 

The reason I feel this way is because of the way I watch movies/shows/video games, and thankfully, I finally found a perfect comparison to explain it. When I watch a movie, I simply watch and enjoy. I don't care about character development, I don't care about pacing, I don't care if a character was one-dimensional and I don't care if someone's motivations weren't clear or weren't there at all. I'm not saying I hate these concepts; I'm saying that I'm simply indifferent towards them.

 

Here's the comparison I mentioned earlier: When I watch a movie, it's the same as when I eat food. Stay with me here. When I eat food, I don't care about its texture, I don't care how it was presented to me, I don't care who made it and I don't care how it looks. I just grab it, eat it, taste it and then I like it or not (or love it or hate it but you get the idea). The only time I ever 'criticise' food is when there is something I simply can't ignore, like if it's too hot or cold or if it just tastes awful. The equivalent of this with movies is if I think a movie is too long or I got bored or maybe I just simply didn't like it; I don't need to explain why I didn't like it; I just didn't, end of story.

 

I used to be subscribed to CinemaSins cause I used to find their videos funny, but then it just felt like they were so spoiled and just nitpick everything. I get that it's not meant to be taken completely seriously, but it still feels spoiled to me. Thus I move to CinemaWins.

 

I'll probably edit this later cause I gotta go somewhere now, but I think you all get my point.

Unpopular opinions? Sure I'll bite.

 

A negative thought process does not inherently mean better informed. A person who is explicitly positive about something they enjoy and is unable to list problems with their favorites opinions are not less valid. People are biased and have subjective opinions and there is no way around that and that's a-ok.

 

Everyone's opinions are valid and there is no hierarchy. And I think we all should just chill

That's another thing wrong with the anime community too. A mangaka could give you 500 chapters of absolute greatness and just because the final 5 or 10 aren't good everyone would dismiss it as trash. Gamers are also just as bad as anime fans from time to time.

 

"This game doesn't run at 68.9999 fps!!! It sucks!"

 

I do think that all that stuff about characters having development is important and story pacing also. But if I still enjoy the story then I just accept most of those things the way they are. II only pick them out if they start to affect my enjoyment of the series.

What bothers me about the gaming and anime communities is that whatever is mainstream is automatically discounted. They would consider it trash or milked. You just can't enjoy something without someone nitpicking. "Ubisoft should stop milking Assassin's Creed", "You like Bleach? Bleach sucks, your taste in anime is bad" "FIRETRUCK THESE FILLERS!" (this one I understand, but they kind of overreact) and other nonsense like that. Also, probably the worst is how they react when you call anime a cartoon...

 

Out of the gaming community, PC gamers are the worst. They think they are all high and mighty with their powerful machines, Steam, discount consoles just for not being a computer and brag about emulators. I'm a PC gamer myself, though seeing other PC gamers do that kind of bugs me.

 

Now, I'm not saying that the entirety of both communities are like this, but a minority of them are. However, the minority always have the biggest voice unfortunately...

Na. Console fanboys are "peasants"

Na. Console fanboys are "peasants"

Almost all console and PC fanboys are trash, and the "console wars" are even more stupid.

 

Now, as for my opinions:

Splatoon was enjoyable until the competitive scene happened.

Dragon Ball Z isn't very interesting and doesn't warrant some of the praise it gets.

One Piece is too long.

If someone hates the Switch because they wanted a Nintendo-branded PS4 and didn't expect another gimmick from Nintendo, they are delusional.

The Wii U was a good system that didn't get a chance to shine.

Fanboys are terrible 99% of the time.

The original Yugioh(aka DM) is the worst YGO series. It has plenty of cool moments, but plenty of bad ones as well.

The rules get contently changed(Just read this: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NewRulesAsThePlotDemands), sometimes without even proper explanation, and Yami is abusing the hell out of it.

The duels drag out a lot too(most duels last at least 4 episodes unlike duels since the 5D's era which last 2 at max unless it is against a big antagonist or got a lot of plot)

Kaiba almost never won any duel that was actually important to him either.

Yep. I have seen so many anime fans get triggered/trolled(mostly the latter) just by someone calling an anime cartoon, and when it was just a troll all he had to do was call anime a cartoon and that's it.

I agree so much. q_q People are just too darn critical for their own good. Like the recent game Mafia III for instance. People are very split about that game, but me I personally absolutely love it. That game has so much great about it. But a ton of other people are just nitpicking at just the tiniest and most stupidest things. And sure the game does have it's actual problems (bugs and such), but people are just complaining about other things that don't truly matter. It's been killing me. And there's literally many other games that had similar problems/features/design choices that people are complaining about for Mafia III, yet in those other games people aren't complaining and they rated those games more positively. Like....what? Seriously?!?!

 

Bleh, it's nice to finally get that off my plate though.

Looking at how Bleach and Naruto got treated-The ending of One Piece will be rushed because of Shounen Jump...

 

My Hero Academia will be the next Naruto-Everyone says it won't but trust me, once the anime adapts the Midnight Raid arc, Training Camp arc and Hero Killer arc, it will blow the hell up.

 

Enough with anime and manga for now...

 

Where did all the anti graphics people come from? I don't want to be spending full price on a game that looks ugly. It's 2016, standards have changed. When I pay money for a game, I'm paying for a good looking game with good gameplay, and depending on the genre-a good story. Graphics make the game visually pleasing. If you can make it look good, then why not? It adds polish and shows that the company care. If people hate graphics so much then go play space invaders and minesweeper.

I don't think they are overrated, but nearly every open world game nowadays is a copy and paste of the GTA formula . Some of the best games of all time imo are open world. But a lot of them are just bland 3rd person shooters with an open world where you can do the exact same things as GTA. There's just too many and most of the time they are usually

I believe that a game doesn't need good graphics to be a good game. Look at Minecraft. That game took the world by storm and the graphics were really bad. Undertale and Shovel Knight have retro graphics for modern games, but they still get praise in the gaming community. So in the end, graphics will matter depending on the game. For open world games, good graphics would be necessary to see the beauty that has been created. If the graphics were bad, why bother?

What do you consider 'good graphics'? When people like myself say that everyone assumes we mean 4k 16 x anistropic filtering max anti aliasing etc etc. That is not what I mean, a retro game can still have good graphics. For what Shovel Knight and Undertale are going for, they look good. 

The game should look good for what it's trying to accomplish. Would you buy a piece of art for your house if you didn't like how it looked?

Lol, obviously not

And for that description of good graphics, that's a bit extensive. By good graphics, I mean that it has to look good and be up to today's standards. None of this 4K resolution and all that jazz because good graphics is more than that.

Random inserts here- 

- ASMR is highly underrated

- Anime Musicals are a thing and a lot of them ARE ACTUALLY GOOD

- Zen from Mystic Messenger is the best even though a lot of people don't like him because he is a narcissist but I like him a lot because I am a narcissist but not like a bad bad one and narcissist really don't need to be thought of as bad people because the view of them has been blurred i mean come on we just like how we freaking look and some other things okay? okay. 

- Those who start making a story and it seems like they can never get it write are amazing people because you can do it. You just have to keep trying. I've been working on a roleplay for over four years and the roleplay just got its right plot last December so just keep trying all you young writers. 

- TP-ing peoples homes is as fun as hell and honestly shouldn't be looked down upon I mean its just some damn toilet paper. 

- A1 pictures animation of Kuroshitsuji sucks they need a new freaking animation company. 

- Hillary Clinton is the devil and Trump is also bad. My country is going to hell. I am leaving after I get my college degree.

Absolutely agree on this one. It's one of my absolute favorite consoles, but everyone writes it off for not being as powerful as the PS4/XBOne and not having a lot of third-party support. The first-party selection is fantastic, though. A lot of people criticize its library for being more Smash/Mario Kart/whatever else, but the entries it has in those series are arguably the most well-polished and best entries in their respective series, and it had a lot of representation from new IPs (Splatoon, NintendoLand), new spins on old IPs (Pokken), or continuations of obscure/newer IPs that were all fantastic (Xenoblade X, Bayonetta 2). It has a few misses, but overall, it's a great system. I'm glad that I went with the Wii U before getting a PS4.

 

 

On the subject of Splatoon, I personally find it to be the only team-based competitive shooter I can get into. That's not to say that others are bad, but I just don't really get invested in any others. Team Fortress 2 is fun but I feel like I didn't improve even after putting in ~100 hours and I just wasn't having enough fun to regularly play it past that (I was really into it for a while which is how I got so much time), Half-Life Deathmatch 1+2 are both really fun but the community pretty much only consists of the people that have played for years so newcomers are totally screwed over unless they just join private games with friends, and I don't really want to pay money on games like Overwatch that honestly look like just TF2 with more class options (not to say that it looks bad, but not something I'd want to play unless it was free).

 

... and I feel like that Overwatch part is probably going to be the most controversial part of this entire post I made, but I just haven't seen anything about it that would make me find worth in buying it. Nothing against those that have bought it and enjoyed it, but it doesn't look like anything too special to me.

I love Sora's character in DDD. Before I joined KH13 I had no idea that so many fans hate him in DDD, and even after hearing the reasons for that I still like him Maybe I'm just used to "more dumb" characters, from anime, so I didn't mind at all how Sora acted there.

I think FNAF is a decent horror game

I actually really like Nikki Minaj.

FF13 was awesome.

 

Oh and the last Kanye West album was absolute trash apart from like 2 or 3 songs.
