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.

Haha, but I would agree with you. I think Brawl is better than Melee too. I played (and still do play)  both extensively, but I like brawl better because the Gamecube controller is soooooo bad! I never got a gamecube because of how much I disliked the controller. 

 

The Wii's controller on the otherhand is probably my favorite controller of all time. Simple, innovative, and functional. However, it was by far the worst controller of the last generation when it came to first person shooters.

I personally prefer the Gamecube controller, but I switched back to Wii Remote/Nunchuk recently and it's just as easy to control as the Gamecube controller. I don't get why so many people complain about it. Now, if only I could use my Wii U gamepad to play Wii games...

 

I can imagine the Wii remote being bad for FPS'. All the motion controls that were probably tacked in... I heard that Metroid Prime 3 made decent use of it, though. I wouldn't know for sure, since the one copy of it that I got didn't work...

I'm not sure if this is an unpopular thing to do or not, but it is something I'm curious about.

 

A lot of games give you the oppurtunity to insert yourself into the action. Games like The Legend of Zelda where you can give the titular hero your own name, or games like Earthbound or really any RPG ever that let you do the same. Games like Dragon Age, Skyrim, or Mass Effect where you could make your character look like your own self and give them your own name...

 

I never do it. My Commander Shepard has the default face, and his first name is John. Ness is Ness. Link will always be Link. I've made Skyrim characters for everybody you could think of, but I've yet to make a RoxSox character. I'd rather come up with a different OC entirely or just go with the true default hero that the game has generated itself... and what I want to know is, whether or not I'm the weird one here.

 

Do any of you ever really insert yourself into the game if the game gives you the oppurtunity? Or do you prefer to go with just the default character, like I do? And if so what's your reasoning for doing it? This is something I've been really curious about lately...

 

I think my reasoning for doing it is because I don't play games to put myself in another persons shoes. I lean towards games that tell a story. I see games as an interactive novel, really, and to put myself in those shoes when that game already has a character in mind is just hard for me to choke down.

I'm the same way. I always pick the default character, although sometimes I change the gender if I'm able to. I just don't feel like I belong in the story. Like in Mass Effect--I'm not someone who should have that power, be able to order people around and be counted on to help save the day. I still feel like a silly kid who's still in school and hasn't really started my life yet, and it just feels wrong to insert myself into a game where I don't belong. Even in Pokemon I name my character after my dog. It's also really weird to see characters saying my name and stuff. My real name is really unique, so when someone says it I still get a little startled, and it makes me feel really uncomfortable when characters say it over and over.

I'm all over the place, in this regard. I'll always use the character customization options if present (except for when I tried Mass Effect, I hated all but Shepard's default look). I don't go for a particular look, just what I think looks awesome. If I get to name a character, I'll use my own name sometimes (Pokemon and Persona), and others I'll make up a name (Skyrim), and others I'll use the default name (Legend of Zelda). No matter the scenario, I never use a character as a "self-insertion" to the story. Even if there are branching choices, I normally pick what I think will net me the "good ending" or what I think will be hilarious, "what would I actually say here" rarely comes to mind. I'm not particularly fond of myself, so why would I want to project myself onto a game that I'm using to escape reality? I actually take on the mentality that I'm another person (the character), not that the other person (character) is me, if that makes any sense. I enjoy games that have predetermined characters, stories, events, etc. where I'm just along for the rides just as much, if not even more so, than games where I can affect the outcome.

The only games where I name the character after myself is Pokemon since I think that's kind of the point, even moreso with the customization options in XY, but I digress. If a game *does* give you some customization options like Mass Effect or Saint's Row or the FPS Fallout games, I'll usually use it and just make some random person. I think it's more fun that way than making everything into a self-insertion fanfiction.

Depends on the game. For games like Mass Effect there will always be the default character. I feel like the game just tosses in some customization of the protagonist to make you feel like you have more choices but lets be honest here, John Shepard is the hero of the story, even if you try to insert yourself in his place. 

 

Some games I try to insert myself into the game. I'll either make a character that looks like me, or when I really don't want to stare at a dude's ass for 6 hours, I create what I'd envision the female version of myself to look like. As for playing the game, I find it a lot more satisfying if I treat the world I am in as if I were in it. I won't have multiple wives, steal from the shop keeper, or murder nice people because I'm morally opposed to those things. This is especially true in games like Fallout or The Elder Scrolls were NPCs don't respawn if you kill them, and acting like a dick can make them hate you forever. This makes me act more properly because it adds a value to their digital existence. 

 

Of course, the exception would be games like grand theft auto where npcs respawn and numbers and you're kinda missing out if you don't mow down 300 scantily clad beach goers with an automatic shotgun. 

 

I really don't create an OC unless its an MMO. For example, in EVE Online, my character is a reluctant aristocrat though still a bit of a snob.

It really depends. If its Pokémon then I'd rather choose the name unless the name itself is pretty (Hilda isn't that great for the female in BW so I named it Sakura, but Yvette is a great name for the female playable character in XY). If its like creating your own character then sure. If its something like Legend of Zelda then I'll name it Link since its an alright name. In Skyrim I just made an OC and in Sims 3 I just made a reference to my friends and family IRL while making them sort of resemble them but at the same time they don't entirely look the same (like my friend IRL has black hair but in the game she has red hair). 

 

TL;DR: It depends whether the game has a main character that you cannot edit other than its name or a pre-set design, as well as whether the name is nice or terrible. 

Little kids on the bus are annoying, espacially if they go in the back in the bus with their parents. 

I honestly hate people who feel the need to call someone stupid if they lack knowledge about something. How about you choose not to be a c*nt and actually try informing them about it? Fine if they're being ignorant and forcing stupid crap down everyone's throat then you can insult them all you want, but if someone fails to point out something that not everyone knows about, why be a dick about it?Also, if you're some kind of hardcore grammar nazi, just jump off a building or something. I have seen plenty of people that start correcting someone's grammar all the firetrucking time and even insulting them for making a grammatical mistake.If you're insulting someone who "tYp3s lyk dis" then I can perfectly understand your frustration, but if you're going to ridicule a person for an honest spelling mistake then just go firetruck a landmine.

Yes!!! This!! I just can't stand Link not being Link or Ness not being Ness. I always have to use their real names. I once say a Let's Play of FFVIII where someone named Squall "Kevin"...it's been years and I still want the head of his first born son.

Same, I really don't like renaming characters that are obviously their own character. (There may be a few exceptions, but in most cases it stands true) As for Squall I would consider naming him Leon just cause of Kingdom Hearts.Note: I do not want the head of his first born son.

Someone told me on Tumblr that Jack Frost was a cliched, dumbass character: believe it or not, I just went " And I care why?"

Nothing's worse than some randomly bashing on another person's like for no reason other than to bash. 

A much as everyone is going crazy over Frozen, I can't really bring myself to that point with the movie after I watched it. I mean it was good and all but meh a bit over hyped much?
