Mine is that Elden Ring is very overrated, the open world is bloated and the entire thing would benefit from being maybe half as small or at least condensing dungeons/things to do. It has a bunch of random shit everywhere but none of it is compelling or fun to do and basically useless aside from sometimes having good items. They're also almost all exactly the same shit over and over. The weapon upgrade system is anti-fun and keeps you from experimenting with anything new. Many of the quests are basically impossible to do without a guide. The platform sections are trash, though thankfully not too widespread at least. The game just gives you too many random shit items, too. The melee combat isn't that fun either, but that is more of a personal preference I guess. I played a sort of battle mage type character so I had a variety of spells to cast at least. I didn't hate it at all, but by the last 1/4 of the game or so I was just ready to finish and probably would have quit if I didn't feel compelled to beat it. I would say it's a 7/10, people act like it's the greatest game of all time though.
Probably not as unpopular but Jap games (maybe more specifically JRPGs, that's mostly what I've played) in general just have way too much random bullshit. They'll come up with a good gameplay system but add like twice as much shit in it than is needed.

rs2/osrs was the only real valid game in existence. every other game contains but a shard of what rs2/osrs had. I'd rather run head first into smoking crack than go play rs2/osrs again, because then I'd have significantly less of a chance of addiction.

RS was fun, I have a weird amount of friends/acquaintances that still play it a lot actually. Once I started playing wow i've never felt like i could go back to the point and click type gameplay though. I did always think the quests were really good for the most part, stuff like Desert Treasure where you actually get amazing/game changing rewards was awesome compared to wow's mostly lame quests.

I really just enjoyed the PVP and huge economy/trade
Yes quests really are fun too but the multiplayer aspect of the game is what did it for me

I used it as basically a chat client a lot since so many of my friends also played. never got much into the pvp like others did, my brother was obsessed with staking and actually did pretty well with it. worked his way up from an abby whip to a purple phat

staking was incredibly fun but you have to be a piece of shit to succeed
my strat was figuring out who genuinely had a fraction of my wealth and staking them, since I had more wiggle room for double-or-nothing
but real pvp was where it was at, it was like playing 3 games of rock-paper-scissors per second.
gud taiimmmss

my brother had two pure accounts where one i think did 60(?) ranged for i think magic bow and the other did 40 ranged/40 defense for rune throwing knives + rune kite, which was very favored against the ranged pure. they had the same name with a different amount of spaces (no underscores at this time). he would stake someone a few times up until making a big bet then switch to the other for the last one lmao. basically all my friends just liked scamming people, i did the guthan's spear/leaf blade one to somebody once and felt so bad about it that i ended up giving it back.
i did do some pking but making a good character was never my forte, i couldnt handle the grind

oh those fricking knives are brutal man, incredibly fast and I'd probably turn into that german keyboard smasher kid if I was at the other end of that scam betting a large sum lmao
yeah essentially in order to succeed in the game you have to at least understand how to operate with no morals because, to be frank the concept of pvp is you killing another player to get their shit. The game was crawling with scammers and the scams weren't even game bugs 99% of the time they were just straight up complicated social manipulation schemes and some literally involved people befriending you for weeks. Shit was wild you wouldn't expect it from just looking at the game
But it's full of soys now with game update to help prevent some of the lower hanging fruit scams and that might be for the best. I was introduced to these backstabbing antics and absolutely sociopathic behavior when I was like 12 lol I'm surprised I didn't break any keyboards starting out

lmao you're on point with teaching kids sociopathic behavior, running those long cons and just the general economy/incentives to act like a shithead. in my friend group people would even be hacking each other and stealing shit if they got the chance to, wild times. the "trimming armor" thing is a meme but it's funny how it would work for unassuming literal children, then the higher level ones with trying to lure people into the wildy (i guess before they added the line) then using ancient magick friend to freeze them and then kill. thinking back it's funny so many kids were living in this massive anarchical lord of the flies type world while their parents thought it was just some dumb game lmao.

I'm grateful for it tbh. Before the ditch was added there was a player jojo3000 who was famous for making those types of videos. I was actually upset they added the ditch. The game was fricked up but probably the least harmful way to learn that these techniques exist and to know how to identify signs of malice.
