Undertale ending  with the weird ass nightmare sequence after you have to restart the game (I'm not going through the effort to find what it's called) kinda ruined the experience for me with the out-of-place graphics. Kinda wish I hadn't restarted the game and just left it after Flowey crashes the game.
I don't have an issue with the weird ass on the rails fight but the visuals ruined it. I don't know why he decided to make it so.

 A lot of people believe that the realistic look makes it a lot more horrifying, with some people genuinely having issues fighting him due to anxiety and fear alone. I also believe that Toby did it with the purpose of symbolizing how Flowey was breaking the 4th wall and 'into reality' with his whole saving and loading powers and closing your game. I can definitely see how it seems odd, but I also feel it was implemented for good design reasons. 

As for the breast feeding subject; I agree that it should be allowed in public. I mean, in all honesty, breasts aren't even sexual organs. They are designed to feed babies and nothing else; their interpretation as inappropriate is entirely based on a fetishization of them that's been forced upon others. It's like making it illegal to not wear shoes because people have a foot fetish.

So boobs. Uhhhhmmmmm...
yea.


Seriously though, if women are ever gonna question or criticize men for "being men," they shouldn't be allowed (by societal standards) to "be a man," in my eyes. Not because I feel that we should limit the powers of women, but because of hypocritical standards people hold others to (by no means am I exempt from this, I'm a huge perpetrator, but still-).

What I'm saying is that when women consider going shirtless a "man thing," it's part of "being men," and therefore (by defiant's rule of hypocrisy), they should not be allowed to do it.

Now sure there are women out there who don't do this, but it's a seemingly rare thing, and even so: why do people care so much? We still support religion, and it's just as much of a traditional thing. People can claim all they want, but I ain't seen a miracle in my lifetime, and when people die, they die. So to my experience, should we abolish religion, and other traditional things as well? Slippery slope? Well, with the mob-mentality I've seen from some of these issues, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if other things got questioned and put down too. Maybe religion is out of the question, but it's a personal example. Myeh.

Anyhow: Why are straight men uncomfortable around it anyways? Men like boobs and other female features so this alone puzzles me. And from what I've heard, women do boob things in locker rooms and such too. Any many other sexualities would see it as just another body part being exposed (sorry for generalizing, I'm not a knowledgeable person) so no one has a real reason to be uncomfortable.

So I skipped around a lot here, as my mind is rather unstable and likes to go on tangents, so I hope I got my point across, but if you want any clarification, just ask.

I think Nintendo needs to stop inovating and just do what Sony and Microsoft are doing.

Make a high-speced console, and make a controller like the Wii U Pro Controller/Xbox 360 Controller the standard one. Also stop producing many 1st party games.

Nintendo is going to fail with the NX. Calling it.

The only reason I like Nintendo is because of their innovation and 1st party titles, as well as their mastery of the handheld gaming system.
Sometimes their innovation goes too far though, or they fail to utilize it to the intended potential.
I personally hate Xbox and don't really like the PlayStation because of the limited amount of games, and any "quality games" having to be rated Mature, and have to do with killing. When's the last time they made a platformer? Ffs :I

What I should be saying is, stop making consoles that are "good enough" for own 1st party games.

That's why the PS4 and XB1 are top of the line of this gen. They make consoles that devs are familiar with, and that would attract all sorts of 3rd parties. Yeah, the Wii U is pretty cool, but any game made that utilizes the game pad are Mario Maker and Nintendo Land. Maybe a few others, but It's 1:13 and I can't think of others.

To top it all off, I don't think I could even enjoy a 3rd party Wii U game. As I said, Nintendo made a console only they can make games work well with the game pad, so developers giving their "best shot" are just going fail.

Leave the "game changers" to the DS line up.


Or, ya know, Nintendo could stick to their bread and butter. What do I know?

Developers actually don't have any harder of a time programming for Wii U, just a longer one. And at least according to a number of sources, they get turned away because Nintendo doesn't feel it meets their standards or it doesn't utilize the system.

At least to me, it looks a lot like China (not too long ago, but too far from our generation).

*Skyward Sword might be my favorite Zelda game
*I think brawl is the worst thing nintendo has done to their fans
*I was not dissapointed by Starfox Zero's visuals
*I dislike Sonic Colors... A lot
*I also dislike Rayman Origins and Legends
*I think Steam is less awesome than people make it out to be
*The only reason I still have my wii is modding and gamecube games
*I think Amiibo's are not worth it until Nintendo takes some responsibility and properly restocks them
*Gaming is a sport and should be viewed as one, especially when it comes to Esport
*Nintendo should give Mario a break and try to use another character as their mascot

if anyone says "dont refer to the baby as 'he' as they didn't decide on a gender" should get a noose

anyone saying "YE FOOTBALLERS EARN MILLIONS A YEAR AND SOLDIERS EARN A CRIPPLING, LIFE THREATENING, PRACTICALLY POVERTY AMOUNT OF 25K A YEAR+ THEY NEED TO SWITCH SALARIES" should reconsider life

Pretty sure you meant to say Call of Duty: Modern Warfare there.

I also agree with the salaries thing, but think actors, performers, and sports stars need a lower amount of pay. You really don't need 50 cars to play sports, all you did was build muscle and practice a lot. Anyone can do it. Just because you have talent, it doesn't mean you need to be the 1%. Your dedication isn't even a set thing. Aaaaaa digression. You get my point.

u realise that the sports stars work for the CLUBS and the CLUBS pay them the amount of money the CLUBS want to pay them. the main reason the wages are so high is how competitive teams are nowadays u know so they just pay loads cos they CAN and have loads of money.

it's not like the goverment pays their salaries or someshit ugetme

Of course the government has nothing to do with it, but I hate that people are given more respect for lucrative things- like being able to run fast and catch a ball while not getting knocked over.
Programming a game typically pays the equivalent of that, for much more effort that is not purely instinctual. Football players specifically just do the same thing over and over twice a week and get it made. Like... What?

In the US, esporters are viewed by the government as athletes and they can enter the country via an Athletes Visa.
So I guess oficially they're sports, but it's still kinda weird to say: 'Yeah I play <insert video game>' to someone who was asking what sport you participate in.

Also,
The Smash Bros. Final Broadcast thing was pretty dissapointing to me.
Collin or however he's called... really? Another Fire Emblem character!?
Whe've got like 6 now, that's way too much Fire Emblem.
Especially considering francises like Zelda, F-Zero Starfox, etc. got no new characters.
Bayonetta never really seemed like a logical choice to me so I was really suprised to hear she was the ballot winner.
(and maybe a little dissapointed) (or very dissapointed)
Overal the only thing that I was excited about was Geno, and it's just a freakin' Mii Costume so little change I'll actually buy him.
All I'm hoping for now is that none of these characters turn out to be high-tier, because then I'll have to buy them.
EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for the fans of the series and Sakurai did a great job with EVERYTHING. I just think there could have been characters that might have been a better or more suitable choice.
Cloud is still hype, I'mma buy him soon.

Heres a couple of my personal opinions i might write some more down later.
MLP THERE! HAPPY TURRET!?
Ok, i really don't understand why MLP has such a huge following, Especially a following of mostly adult men. Its pretty silly how the biggest fans of MLP are not even its target audience of the show. Taking a look at the show, its really boring for me personally, nothing even remotely interesting or worth staying, I find it weird how so many adult men of all people love this show. Most people would of accepted the fanbase, but when the show first blew up aaaaaaa shoved it down peoples throats to the point of toxicity. Now whenever someone is a MLP fan they just seem repulsive to most people not in the fanbase.

Operating Systems
Personally I really prefer OSX more than windows, the newer windows OS's are pretty terrible. I really can't explain why i just really prefer Macs over PC's main'y due to the OSX but i'm backed into a corner cause of apples... very poor design choices http://www.apple.com/au/macbook/ (seriously apple, putting everything in one port is NOT a good idea) and apple really annoys me with the high prices of their products. I think the thing that pisses me of the most is that they have completely brainwashed my friend into a apple cultist.

Feminism
This ones a very touchy subject. If your NOT a feminist, your a bigot. You might look at me like I'm crazy when i say that, but i'm serious, what most people think of when they hear "feminist" now are crazy radicals who say ridiculous stuff like "looking at a woman is rape" or "this guy said hello to me, he must be a rapist" and stuff along those lines. people like these even got their own term, "feminazi". Feminism SHOULD be about making sure you have equal opportunities in like no matter what your sex is and destroying harmful gender based stereotypes. If you DON'T believe in the equal rights of men and woman, than your a bigot. Its not even just a female thing either, A man can be negatively stereotyped too. There was recently a walk against violence against women. In the speeches women were completely victimised and the whole thing was even referred to as a MAN problem. Shit like that pisses me off, if people what to have equality that they are always bitching about, then they need to understand that if even a single person in a gender can be the victim then its a PEOPLE problem.

One of the things he said was just that.

Also I'm going on an amiibo rant here so bare with me,
amiibo are as consumer friendly as dogsh*t
I like the idea, it's just how it's executed that's absolute bollocks
I don't want to pay €69,- for a freakin' €16 lucina amiibo (Thanks, Amazon Germany!)
Even though there's enough Mewtwo and Diddy amiibo's for everyone now, the older amiibo's from
the first few waves are still a nightmare to find.
Nintendo really messed up and it's their fault for not propperly restocking.
And the things you get for buying them is not really worth it. I have my amiibo for just putting them on a
shelf and looking at them. Last time I used them is probably more than half a year ago.
(So pay like more than 10 bucks and you can get a costume in mk8 and mario maker, another way to play against a cpu in smash
or a demo of an old game of wich the full game is worth less than half of what you paid.)

I don't get why people make new terms when there are perfectly good ones that exist. Just because you have a different way of saying the same thing, it doesn't mean it qualifies for a new word. "Gender equality" was a thing way before "feminism."
But I also haven't seen any differences in pay between myself and females of similar age personally, and having the same employer doesn't mean you have the same job as other people, so I think that this whole "unequal pay" thing is a bunch of bogus. If you look at the hourly wage or sum wage on a project where you applied the same amount of effort/hours, I'm sure you'd see the same numbers. If not, well- you can't really make a law against that, employers are entitled to what they wanna pay if it's above minimum wage, and I; sure there are plenty of loopholes anyways, similar to "equal opportunity" programs.

And although the video says there's a wage gap, it also pretty much says it's no big deal from what I'm seeing.
That means people complaining about it are going about it wrong and that's their problem.

Basically: negotiate and specify instead of complaining and you'll be fine?

Anyhow, my sister made more than me (before I was terminated), and we worked the same job, so yea. She also got more hours somehow.
Before you comment on that, note how I was fired for missing two days of work on short notice. My dad told me we were going on a vacation less than four days prior than my next shift. According to my mom it was his fault, so I have some backing on this not being on me.

Undertale is a good game, but the fandom and part of Tumblr ruins all.

Most people thinks the same, the fandom sucks like the game, my recommendation is play the game and ignore the fandom, ignore everything (technically).

Re: Unpopular Opinions

Posted: 03 Feb 2016, 07:05
by HugoBDesigner
I guess we learned from Undertale and FNaF that a game that explodes on the internet and quickly becomes popular is usually ruined by the fandom overhyping about it. If the game isn't that great, the fandom will make sure to only talk good things about it, overhyping it even more so that when some people finally "give up" and play it, it feels overrated. If the game IS really great, the fandom will talk about it so much that when you get to play it, you'll focus your mind on "this is probably overrated; I can't see why people are crazy about it", rather than enjoying how great the game actually is.

Both the average, non-fanatic player and the game developers lose, since the average player won't have an interest in playing it, while the game developers only get unidirectional feedback about their game. I think it's safe to say that even the fandom itself loses, since less and less people will want to join them, and because of the lack of feedback, the developer might not work on sequels and such or, if they do, it's usually because they think their game is a gigantic success, so they'll use the "only positive" fandom feedback as a guidance, making future games even worse by just reinforcing that fandom's opinions and leaving the average consumer behind.

Though, by the way "fandoms" are today, I don't think we see much of that, but a fandom ruining a game could be a reality really soon.



In other news/opinion, I think it sucks that most games are from the USA or based around American culture, having patriotic Americans as heroes and cultural minorities as inferior or outright evil. Though tbh, I doubt that's an "unpopular" opinion.

Fandoms suck because people form opinions based on all the wrong things even if they're the right things. In the end, no one wins if anyone likes anything. The internet is a breeding ground for hate, and if you like something it brings hate, otherwise it's purely hate. There is absolutely nothing that can exist purely with enjoyment, because humans are naturally assholes that hate things, for right or wrong reasons. It's stupid and that's why I've pretty much stopped expressing my enjoyment for anything but Smash and League. Some of my art reflects my interests, but that's really it. So yea. Rant and shit.
