I've always preferred wooden pencils to mechanical ones.

I don't like going to the beach.

Unpopular Opinion:
Rare steak is best. Anything else is terrible.

Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones suck
---

U2 is GARBAGE
---

Black Widow is the least likable Avenger, Avengers was a bad movie. Loki wasn't good either.

The Playstation/PS2/PS3 had >1000 boring games. The GC/N64 had the 6 best games.

All RPGs follow the same formula and are boring to play.

Wii U was a poorly designed console. Dreamcast and Sega died for a reason. 2d Sonic is sub-par and sluggish.

Nu-metal is the best metal. Linkin Park has some of the best artists.

Empire is the weakest movie of the OT

Gamefaqs Late Night Crew.

I don't mind shameless plugs when done in moderation.

The Unpopular opinion would be well done is best everything else is terrible

Anyone who likes steak will usually say med rare, but can respect anyone that likes rare or med

Victorious and Sam & Cat were really funny shows.

star wars is overrated (games > movies)

minecraft is boring

the binding of isaac is meh at best. it did nothing for me. don't get the praise tbh

kanye west is terrible

dave grohl sucks (ff have some good songs though)

Pretty much.

I mean I don't want to get murdered or die in a car crash or anything. But if I went to bed and knew I'd never wake up again that'd be great. Sweet release.

I'm 100% okay with the idea of death and nonexistence and I don't fear it at all. I'm more afraid of pain than anything.

Thanks 4 the sweetness tho :*

Zelda series is super repetitive and completely coasts on Nintendo nostalgia.
Bethesda games are always a mess that I don't feel should be okay just because they let fans fix them.
I hate the indie game scene, it's nothing but gimmicky platformers with ugly simple art styles.

Uncharted 2, Last of Us sucked
---

Cooking:
* 'Cooks' on the food network channel only burn there meat on the outside, still raw in the inside and they call that healthy and fully cooked, and good...NO on so many levels!!

* Bobby Flay ( a 'chef') ONLY knows how to cook with peppers, if the dish doesn't have any, he'll put some in one way or another, not caring some people are allergic to them, or can't afford them when trying to make it at home, he also burns food all the time and calls that charred/good-cooking


PCs:
* Anti-virus/malware/anti-spyware programs should have never needed to be invented.

* Programs that you have to pay/get-pro versions of and all they do is auto-check for updates, there creators should work for M$ instead (ok, maybe bad idea, but you know what I mean, right?)


Life:
* Advertisement of any type should be 100% accurate, no false advertisement or 'small print' you have to read to find out your in a contract or fees will apply, etc.

* The entire world should be a nudist colony/world, way less crime in that regard and people are nicer to each other



...that's all I can thing of at the moment.

Standard transmission vehicles are a waste of time and the elitism surrounding them is a hipster trend to try to justify an outdated, needlessly complicated way of operating a vehicle.

Also, dark beers (stouts, porters) are disgusting.

All Grown Up >>>>> Rugrats

This is an actual opinion that I hold, and not just one fabricated to contribute to the thread that isn't actually true

zelda and resident evil are absurdly overrated games

pokemon, harry potter, and disney are for kids, and i find no enjoyment in any of them.

U2 is GARBAGE

Is that an unpopular opinion though? Maybe in general, but probably not somewhere like GameFAQs. Which reminds me, it's a good time to revisit this one:

Rush sucks.

Agree with this, I played it and was like "Is this it?" I get you're supposed to iterate but it still didn't seem any fun with the excessive amount of poorly-explained items

Gaming pretty much sucks. Indies have produced the only worthwhile games in the last decade or so.

There are too many TV channels - we should go back to 4-5 networks.

Despite most people saying we are in a golden age, most TV today sucks.

I enjoy Nickelback.

I've literally never heard anyone say we are in the golden age of TV, we are in the diarrhea age of TV anyway

I've heard the Golden Age of TV thing all the time. I think the problem is that guy sounds like he still watches things on TV instead of streaming it, since he says there are too many channels. I don't really think anybody would disagree about there being too many channels or that watching TV as it airs sucks.

That being said, I still have my own negative opinions of TV. I think it's pretty stupid in general and there are few things I actually watch. I think the interactivity of gaming is a much better entertainment option, and for those times I do feel like just watching something, movies are fine and get the point across much quicker.

I also think the whole binge-watching culture is stupid. I find binge-watching to ruin a lot of things, since it's easier to see how formulaic and repetitive they are. It's also annoying how it's generally considered acceptable but there's still a pretty big stigma on gaming.

Dogs are gross
Video games are boring
Most movies are bad*
Breaking Bad's last season was its worst
Metal Gear Solid 3 is the worst game in the main series
---

-Matrix movies got progressively better
-24 season 6 > season 1
-Phantom Menace > Fellowship of the Ring
-MGS4 isn't just the best in the series, but it's the best by far
-Skyrim has better cities than Morrowind and Witcher 3
-Original Iron Man was overrated
-Lyanna Mormont from GoT is kind of a brat
-Don Rickles was more annoying than funny
---

Blade Trinity was the best Blade movie.
Apart from the two Tim Burton Batman movies, Wes Craven's Swamp Thing is the best movie based on a DC Comics character.
Constantine was a good movie.
The two completed Dirk Gently books are better than the entirety of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Pattern Recognition is William Gibson's best book.
Autumn is the best season.
---

Women, sex, and relationships are overrated as ****.

I've actually done that poll here, and Autumn wins easily

BioWare were never great. They had early success with the help of Black Isle, the allure of NWN1 was mostly fan content, KotOR was about as deep as a puddle (in both story and mechanics) and only looked upon fondly because Star Wars, and everything since then has been varying degrees of mediocrity or total crap.

adjl is a massive shitposter. its like the dude has to take everything in the world seriously. no humor allowed.

wwinter is a massive shitposter too.

PoNIES! (GFAQs won't let me post it in all caps)

Skim milk is the best milk.
Chicken and steak are overrated.
Egg whites are tastier than the yolk.
Inception and Pulp Fiction are mediocre films.
Super Mario World is the last great SMB game.
Anime and manga should've never left the island.
Unsalted unshelled peanuts are better than salted.

I mean, I don't really use them either, but the whole mechanic of them annoys me, how they warp the game in completely different ways and made older cards kinda obsolete because they don't directly interact with planes walkers. Back when they were shitty, it wasn't a big deal, but now they're becoming more and more the backbone of decks and I don't like it.

Overwatch is highly overrated and Tracer is obnoxious. It's a corny TF2 knock-off with a F2P model built into a retail game.

- Fat chicks can be smokin' red-hawt sexy.

- The First World War is actually a more interesting era in global history than the Second World War. There are so many folk myths ingrained in the pop-culture memory of WW1 that unlearning everything you thought you knew about it is a big part of what makes it so fascinating to study. And with so many areas still under-researched, there’s plenty left to learn.

- As consumers, we should take a harder look at some of our supply chains and try to make more informed and ethical purchasing decisions. In a wired world where more information (and misinformation, it's true) is available to us than to any previous generation, we've still got a bad habit of using ignorance as an excuse for apathy about too much stuff.

Other people's opinions are overrated.
An opinion is *not* a fact!
Breaking Bad sucks big time.
King Jeoffrey was the best (and my fav) character on Game of Thrones.
Both Trump and Hillary suck big time as well and none of them should even be running for presidency.
There are to many indie games nowadays and not enough good games (i know cliché but still..)
If a 3rd ww happens, there won't even be a 4rth...

Oh and competitive online games like Overwatch, Destiny, LOL, etc are the absolute worst..

Agreed on this

Pretty sure we've had one of these threads before recently. In any case:

Suikoden 4 is a great game

Ocarina of Time told its story better than Final Fantasy 7.

Walking Dead is a boring show.

Robin Williams wasn't that funny.

Honey Boo Boo was a good show.
