Code Veronica is one of the best RE games, you're just shit at video games
Dead Space 2's DLC is better than the main game
FF6 is overrated and FF4 surpasses it by far
Siren is just as good of a franchise as Fatal Frame and Silent Hill
The Twin Snakes is better than MGS1

Well, I think everyone on this board is stupid and shouldn't be heard. Is that contrarian enough? It's good for people that make threads, though. I spend all my time on the Catalog closing shit, so the NPCs post in every single thread.

That's only contrarian on this website. Rarely you'll see someone straight up admit they hate remakes because they can't run them. Most of the time it's just some sour grapes poor person. Stupid people have a hard time being honest for some reason.

AC:Origins is the best game of the entire franchise
I loved Halo 4
Games as a service is a great concept (giving support to games after launch for some time) that got corrupted so fucking fast it doesnt matter at the end of the day (incomplete games where the new "content" are just microtransactions that break the game's coherence, sense, lore and style)

Nu-ac fans will call you wrong because it's not n1ggerman and old-ac fans will call you wrong because it's not wop man but I agree there's something special about origins.

>What is your most contrarian opinion about gaming?
Gaming is not an inherently narrative medium, but it is an inherently ludic medium. Therefore having gameplay with no story is perfectly acceptable but story with no gameplay makes no sense. VNfags need not apply, those are more akin to choose your own adventure books than games.
Is that even contrarian? I can't tell at this point.

By conventional wisdom? GTA looks like shit and you couldn't pay me to play a game in the series.

By /v/ standards? It's okay to play as a female character without wanting to fuck her.

Both the “We need to make realistic women (aka women who look like roadkill) in gaming” and “We need to make attractive women (aka bimbos in skimpy clothing) in gaming” are both wrong.
Female characters should be attractive more than ugly, but gooners take it way out of proportions, using calling a female character irredeemably ugly over the slightest imperfections. You could have a solid 7.5/10 girl and they’ll act like she’s a -5/10. Additionally crying every time a character is showing only 95% skin instead of 96%.
And it’s the inverse for feminists. If a female character looks like a real woman, down to photoscanning a model, they are then compelled to uglify that woman to make the real life person more realistic (yeah sounds retarded doesn’t it). They’ll also cry if the female character shows any skin besides her face.
I just want something in the middle without both sides having a hissy fit. Female characters that are attractive but aren’t gigasluts.
