Not sure if this is unpopular, but walking simulator is easily the worst genre of gaming. None of the ones Ive played have been amazing and theyre just way too short with virtually nothing whatsoever to do. The fact there are so many and so many of them are considered good is baffling to me.

FPE games are one of my favorite new genres in gaming, and have given us some of the most exciting and creative examples of game storytelling in recent years

though it seems like more people side with your opinion

FPE games have consistently been some of my favorite experiences in the past 10 years.

So an FPE game is a dumb new term for a genre that's existed for decades?

It's a better way to describe walking simulators that doesn't sound like an insult by default

also it describes more specifically games like Gone Home and The Unfinished Swan as opposed to games like Skyrim/Fallout where the exploration is a part of the game but not necessarily the main aspect

Ah, got it. I was gonna say that "first person experience" RPGs predate Dragon Quest as the preeminent way to do role-playing.

All I know is I played Gone Home, ABZU, Journey and some of Rapture and while they looked pretty I just find it hard to even consider them games. Like they couldve each been a 5min video and given me the same experience. I can tell after a few they definitely arent for me and Im definitely glad all were free on PS+ because I wouldve regretted buying them

Yeah, I think it's a pretty significant distinction, like I'd only call games FPE if the exploration was like... the majority of what made the game's content.

Just like I wouldn't call Fallout 3 an FPS, even if it has first-person shooting in it, because it's an RPG first

I mean brand new, Gone Home was $20 and Abzu and Journey were each $15, so it's not like they're charging you the same as a 40-hour game

I can get behind this. Moe is irritating at first but holy shit does he become great toward the end.

Skullgirls is the best Marvel-style fighting game ever made.
Bastion's stage themes are way better than their vocal songs.

it's pretty close between that and TTYD so I couldn't quite be definitive with that statement

also Partners in Time > Superstar Saga

Super Star is one of the weaker Kirby games.

I can get behind this. That scene is just flat out intense, whereas most dedicated horror games have to rely on jump scares far too much.

That's odd, I would think being offended by an unpopular opinion would actually be rather natural.

I mean, you were offended by my being offended to an unpopular opinion.

Shouldn't this topic also be for unpopular opinions about unpopular opinions regarding video games?

Honestly I would've loved a full-on Kirby/Mario-style 2D platformer with crossover characters

The potential was there but everyone had to complain about the series doing something even a little bit different

Unpopular opinion: This, right here, is a huge part of what's wrong with gaming fandoms and why they largely suck.

The second huge part is the mudslinging towards anyone who dares like something they don't like, to the point where they chase everyone who likes the game out of the forum and turns the forum into a negative echo chamber where they can pat themselves on the back for being "objectively right"

FFTA2 is an amazing game. One of the best games of its genre. The attention to background details is pretty awesome. (the little animations had a lot of work put into them) Adele is also a great character. And It brought back geomancers.

Also- more FF games should have geomancers. I love that class.

Wait, people hated Subspace Emmisary?
It was great, even for the bosses alone
I mean, fighting Rayquaza and Ridley in Smash-style was pretty cool, even if those are not the best boss fights ever, they were great fan service
Hell I would kill for a smash-style Pokemon game that lets you fight legendary Pokemon as bosses

The only bad thing was that it made the unlocking character thing brainless, but some people liked it I guess

Saying just about every game aged horribly is obviously a bit of an exaggeration, but stuff like SNES has aged so much more better, I don't see myself enjoying stuff like MGS, GTA or most RPGs on the PS2.
