Very shit taste, especially since you exclude Soulsborne, shouldn't you be at /v/ or GAF?
>Ultimate Doom is the worst out of the original Doom games and is boring af game in [current year]
Doom is overrated in general.

Disagree but I can understand how it might be boring to some very basic individuals who can't enjoy subtletly.

Australia-kun?

Are you even going to argumentate anything other than say "it sucks"? It's like I'm reading a kid from elementary school.

I hope you meant GBA, the DS yoshi's island is a original game and inferior to the original.
Ultimate Doom rules you pleb. I agree that Sonic 1 is probably my favorite tho
Some more unpopular opinions:
-The one hit deaths in Contra fuckin suck and make me want to rarely play the game (i know.. git gud)
-Sega CD was an amazing console in its time and even the FMV stuff was fascinating. This was before internet and videos being ubiquitous outside of TV so it was a novel thing. Just sucks they didn't do more with the technology
- Never liked Sonic 3 or Knuckles nearly as much as 1 or 2. For some reason after a few levels I just get incredibly bored and quit it
- Most Playstation games have awful graphics in retrospect
- I could not get into Gameboy and 90s Nintendo Handhelds much. I owned one as a kid but hardly played it. I won't really care to play one more than 5 mins unless on emulator/Super Gameboy
- Emulation to me is totally fine and a good enough substitute for original hardware to me (80s and early 90s consoles mainly.. different story after that). It all varies by personal experience and opinions but to me, I have never had a problem and I love emulation. I have even bought some older games over the years that I owned or never owned in the past and it just feels like a waste of money to me honestly if I can play, say NES on my PC
>>3329594
Excluding the first and the last opinion, you just sound like an average Sega fanboy.
>>3330527
Everyone knows the Mega CD was a good add-on. Who says it's bad?
Limited continues are a cheap tactic used to artificially lengthen games.

>Pokemon is for manchildren who haven;t grown up past 13
That's more of an obvious fact than an unpopular opinion.
A lot of these "difficult" games are only difficult because you had little experience with games and did not understand the underlying concepts properly.
Go replay them and you'll breeze through them.
Adults should move on from retro games. With no storylines or attempts to emotionally move the player, no attempts to be more than just pixels on a screen, /vr/ games are just toys. And if it's not socially acceptable for an adult to play with dolls, neither should it be acceptable for adults to play Mario.
>then why are you here?
Because feeling smugly superior is how adults like me get their entertainment when we're not playing The Last of Us.
I haven't played a retro game in months.
>>3332992
Oh, and before anyone drops that CS Lewis quote: Hobbies are like reading levels, they illustrate how developed one's mind is. I wouldn't expect a severely mentally disabled person to be into wine tasting or whatever. At the same time, it is very worrying when a supposed 'adult' cannot function without children's toys.

Nintendo invented the standard d-pad and the control stick as we know it. In fact, Sony ripped off Nintendo's hardware designs wholesale and has been doing it ever since
This may be a bait thread, but I can tell you're just a brainless faggot (or a child)
Mega Man 2 is a shit game and definitively the worst main series Mega Man game, it's filled with bad decitions, bad attempts at difficulty and unbalanced weapons. Mega Man 6 best Mega Man
>>3334963
Yes they could, actually.
>>3334974
Their 'invention' of the dpad is just a plastic cap over dpads that already existed. They didn't invent the dpad, sorry. They didn't invent the thumb stick, either. The Atari 7800 had a thumbstick for their controller. Sorry, but Nintendo never innovated anything.
>>3334992
>The Atari 7800 had a thumbstick for their controller
Yea about that... they stole that from Nintendo
>>3334992
did you know, Hiroshi Yamauchi wasn't actually a human being? He was a vessel that enclosed 7 yakuza oni spirits from 7 different regions in Japan. These oni monopolized the gambling in Japan with the hanafuda Nintendo cards and put a spell so that no other company could produce cards, truly evil.
Yamauchi, often referred to as "大é”王 ãƒ†ã‚£ãƒ©ãƒŽå¤©å ‚" (Great Evil King Tyranotendo), tyranized the video games market with his monopolistic practices, it is said that the Master System or the PC Engine didn't actually ever exist, and that they were invented time after so hide the fact that the Famicom was actually the one and only console existing in Japan.
Legend Of Zelda are watered-down RPGs for filthy casuals

>>3335006

>>3335015

I just picked it up for the first time in 10 years and got all the emeralds while only dying once. If Ghosts and Goblins is easy for you than I dont understand how you could find a game as easy as Sonic 2 difficult.

>>3335109
> I just picked it up for the first time in 10 years and got all the emeralds while only dying once
I call bullshite on that.
GnG = short + inf conts
Sonic 2 = long + limited conts
You fuck up in the end and you have to go through the whole fucking game again which admittedly is easy for the most part.
>>3335480
GnG only has infinite continues if you insert credits for them, but no one has infinite credits.
>>3335501
I was talking about nes, you fucking retard. Besides, arcades are designed specifically to suck out the credits from you, so it's not even cheating. I mean you can donate a dime to charity each time you lose if you're that autistic, but don't expect me to do it.

Certainly not here, where they seem to be touted by any and every wannabe edgewanker.
>>3335539
But that's the worst port... Why should I assume you're talking about a shit port of the game?
>>3335667
Cause that's what most people played and generally mean when they say GnG. Besides it's fine for what it is.
>>3335936
No, most people played the arcade game or a home computer port.
>Besides it's fine for what it is.
What it is is a shit port. It does a good job at being that.
>>3329594

>>3336202
Why the hell do games (especially beat em ups) let you beat up each other? Makes no sense and I have no idea who would want to hurt the other player during 2 player co op.
>>3336358
So that you actually have to use strategy and not just gang up and keep the enemies locked in stun animation until they die. They're supposed to simulate street brawls. Don't punch your friends.
>>3336367
Well its annoying and ruins the game imo

Not only is this an OK opinion, but I believe tank controls improved Parasite Eve II over the controls of the original.

Visual Novels are not video games
The only acceptable non-linear Castlevania game is SotN
If you play a portable system in your house and not on the go, you're an idiot who wasted your money on inferior games -- a Game Boy player is minimum to make them tolerable
Majora's Mask is the worst 3D Zelda besides Skyward Sword and binding everything to the clock is an excuse to pad out game time for something that was sold as a full game but is essentially an expansion pack.
The N64 is a better console with a better library than the Playstation, and only actually competes with the Saturn
We should all be eternally against Sony because their choice to sell the PS1 as a CD player was what led to the increasing trend of game consoles not being built to play games, and not as handicapped multitasking devices
The Saturn's best games are the old Sega arcade ports
The Super Nintendo has the worst shell design of any console, and has a library full of bland, safely-designed games
Playing games in component/scart/et c is a complete waste of money, and modding 2600s for composite just reduces the charm of its age
Games absolutely do age, and everything on the Playstation has aged into vinegar
The Dualshock 1 is the most overrated controller design of all time, and the N64 controller is fine if you're not autistic and an elegant solution to transitioning between 2D/3D
>>3340721
>The N64 is a better console with a better library than the Playstation
Agreed. Owned both and played way more N64 than PS, for both SP and MP. N64 was just a million times more fun and had far higher quality games. Quality > Quantity.
>>3340721
>and the N64 controller is fine if you're not autistic and an elegant solution to transitioning between 2D/3D
this is wrong. n64 controller is objectively bad with its shit tier analog that wore out after a week. sure a non-retard can still work it just fine but it still wore down and that's poor af quality, period.

>>3340737
I could control just fine and I have no doubt I'd kick your ass at any N64 game we both played. i'd beat my friends at goldeneye and perfect dark with scores like 20-0-0-1 etc even on 3v1. I 100%'d both those games and unlocked every cheat by doing the speedrun times. I know you're a /vr/ shitter and there's no way you could have done any of this.
Bottom line is that the controller sucks. Playing N64 games with a 360 controller feels a million times better than using a week old N64 analog stick that you gotta shove from the tip of your thumb to make sure it's at full length. it's a fact that the stick wore down and there's nothing you can do but cry more on the internet like the retard autist you are.
>>3329594
N64 OOT is an overrated pile of shit that still gets treated as the best despite its dogshit graphics.
Darkstalkers is every bit as good as Street Fighter and Marvel.

It sure seems like it is sometimes. Try bringing up Darkstalkers to the people playing SF5 and MvC3.
>>3343281
Well, people who play only the latest games out are likely to shit on older games, they care more about communities and tourneys than the actual games, they'll just play whatever is popular ATM.
MvC3 fans should know about the roots of the MvC games and Darkstaklers. Also MvC3 has Felicia, Hsien-Ko and Morrigan, I always choose the "vampire girls" team when I play it.
>>3330536
Well, most of the games on it were shovelware.

But how many of those 2,371 games are actually any good? Maybe only about 10 more than the amount of good games the N64 has? Doesn't really matter, both are mostly composed of ugly looking garbage anyways.
PlayStation 1 was the poor kid's console.
Nintendo is fucking bullshit. Yes they can release some good games here and there but they have been stuck doing the same bullshit for years. While everyone around them is coming up with new ideas, Nintendo is in an endless loop.

Dualshock is the best controller to date if you ignore retarded 4 button d-pad which is STILL A THING FFS!!!
The sixth gen mostly sucked because of the lack of 2D games.
