Say a gaming opinion that will stun people

Chasing after 4K resolution has been utter folly for both PC and consoles.

Shadowlands is the best expansion yet in terms of Covenants.

Shadowlands is the only expansion that has had Covenants

Yes, yes it is.

red dead redemption 2 is a polished shit.

I didn't like it at all and I'm a fan of westerns.

My biggest issue was the boring cover wave shooter mechanics.

Same goes for GTA 5. I like the parody of GTA but after 4. It felt just wrong.

The "soap opera" effect is due to the source material being in 29.97 or 25 or 24 fps or whatever and then the TV "invent" frames with various methods. It's faking some frames for it to look smoother, but it also looks ...well, fake.
Games running at high FPS doesn't invent those frames, they are real correctly rendered frames, I can't say that I personally see any soap opera effect on high FPS tbh.

If you watch a 60fps show recording in 60fps I still get that feeling.

That said 144hz is a huge difference on pc and after a few years 60 feels iffy now.

Not many people actually play video games anymore these days. They just look up on the internet what is best and emulate an instruction manual far better players figured out by actually playing the game.

Outside of the leveling phase classic/tbc and retail WoW are not that different.

Overblown min-maxing, gatekeeping, elitism and boosts.. it's all there.

I've long held that WoW hasn't actually changed that much as well. Sure, some features have been added, some basic RPG elements shuffled around, how you precisely interact with the game has changed, but at the end of the day what you do hasn't changed and the quality of the MMO experience is IMO far more informed by the people you play with than by what you play.

WoW classic is trash and TBC will also be trash.

Wow Vanilla was great (I hated TBC), but changes made to the game since then were made for a reason. I've long outgrown WoW, but retail > classic in pretty much every category. People who say otherwise are lying to themselves and viewing the ruleset with rose-colored glasses.

With that said, people are free to like and enjoy things that I don't like!

Level caps in MMO's suck. Let me progress my character infinitely.

I couldn't stand Aeris(th) and was so glad when she died. Mind of a child in an adult body that's supposed to be a love interest.

I've never lasted more than an hour in sandbox games like minecraft and anything elder scrolls. Fables had a lot of problems and disappointments but I'll take it any day over anything ES.

Sonic games were never fun.

Ultimate Spider-Man on ps2 had the best web swinging of any sm game.

Windwaker is the only good Zelda game.

Donkey Kong Country 1 was the only good DK game

These are all written far more antagonistically than I actually feel.

so in essence... Blizzard didn't ruin anything the playerbase already did.

While it shouldn't stun people but probably still does: Yes, majority of the problems with WoW are the direct result of players, whether it's feedback to Blizz and the community itself. Over the years, Blizz listened to the vocal players probably a lot more than they should have, especially when one realizes how niche of a playerbase the vocal players are. Blizz isn't without direct blame, either, as their lack of proper communication to the players as a whole over time just makes things worse, amongst other things.

Saint's Row is a better game then GTA.

...I mean gameplay differences aside there's quite a few people who share that opinion....pry more shocking to say Saints Row is better then Yakuza

Yakuza gameplay is freaking terrible, even if the story/worldbuilding is world class.

[Moozart]

Shadowlands is in a good place.

This. When people come onto these forums and claim to speak for "the playerbase" I can't help but think that if they got every last single poster of these forums, impossible I know, to agree with them that wouldn't even be close to 1% of the playerbase.

Well yeah the combats pretty simplistic but as you said story and world building...not to mention it's basically Mario Party with amount of minigames

Saint's Row is a better game then GTA.

Saints Row 2 was very fun. And Saints Row 3 was basically the spiritual successor of San Andreas. GTA IV and V are like the distant cousin of the GTA trilogy.

Hideo Kojima's best game is a visual novel.

As a long term huge souls fan....Sekiro sucks, sucks, sucks IMO.

1. Assets reused over the entire game make the game look like it is all one level.
2. Compared to any other souls game or clone I've played(all of them? and yes I know sekiro isn't a souls game) the bosses are extremely prescriptive. That means that there are many multiple ways to beat bosses in other souls games, but not Sekiro, only one way. Bosses are 100% lock and key.

Define Prescriptive: relating to the imposition or enforcement of a rule or method.

3. Regular enemies are extremely prescriptive as well, you cannot find a way that works for you, the game pushes you down the only method for completion, limiting the experience.
4. High repetition human reaction tests and prescriptive combat make the game dull and also the difficulty level will vary greatly between players, simply because of the highly repetitive reaction tests have tight timing(and by extension, human reaction time varies between persons and the timing here is too tight considering the frequency).
5. Human reaction tests as a gameplay mechanic have been looked down upon since RE4 and the quick time event. For the record, I like Until Dawn too, but quick time events still suck imo, either during a fmv, or when playing the combat in sekiro which also backs off telegraphs on normal enemies probably to make sure those QTEs are almost 100% based on reaction time.
6. The game didn't replace the rpg elements with anything of note, they were just removed, the game was slimmed down, and the quick time events tightened and increased in frequency vs traditional souls game, took away and didn't add anything.
7. RPG elements are the best part of the souls games imo, removed, but second best part: weapon variation.....weapon variation?

That's just off the top of my head. I used to have a list, like I dug down to try and find out why I didn't like this game. It is not a recent opinion of mine, I just do not like that game to this day, and I was beyond hyped. I even like that "type" of game, Ninja Gaiden the 3d version is one of my favorite action games ever.
