Controversial vidya opinions thread

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.

Bethesda games, including Skyrim, aren't good.

Bethesda games are great for the first playthrough when they're brand new.

10 years of skyrim was fricking whack, however.

You're not right. They suck even new. I sucked it up and got all the way through Skyrim. It never got good.

I tried both Morrowind and Oblivian, no good.

Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 both sucked peepee and I didn't finish.

I thought Skyrim was OK, never played any other ones. Definitely overrated, the combat is shit. I guess I respect how sandbox-y it is, but i'm not gonna install a bunch of mods to make a game more playable.

They have some interesting ideas (music, worldbuilding) but they're ultimately a jack of all trades, a master of none from a gameplay perspective. They aren't great FPSs (tactile) and they aren't great RPGs (cerebral). They don't have a niche.

Morrowind was an interesting thought experment (FPS + TTRPG = ?), but the answer to that riddle is "meh." And every subsequent game is doubling down on a bad idea. I'd like to see The Elder Scrolls lean one way or the other. Either a Bungie game (FPS) or a Larian Studios game (RPG).
