This opinion is not THAT unpopular.

 

And I second that this topic should be in "Everything Else"

It was my favourite episode, it's been a while since I played Duke 3D tho.

The second episode is fine by me but it introduces the Sentry Drones so its a lot tougher than the first episode just because those enemies can be a pain the ass to deal with.

Chaingun takes care of them with ease. Also you can cheese them by opening doors and closing them in their face before they reach you as they explode on impact.

 

The Lunar episode is also my favorite Duke episode.

Yeah, expect the third map that is full of stupid drones

Half-Life isn't that great.

[RichardDS90]

I find Mega Man 2 a bit overrated. I still like it but wouldn't say it's the best in the series.

Video games weren't dying in 1983 and Nintendo didn't save the industry.

Time Stopper is the best weapon.

Half-Life 2 isn't that great either, but I struggle to think of a better FPS of that era.

 

Nintendo avoided having bloody or adult games for so long as they were under the 80s disguise that "we made a toy."

 

iD made shovelware before getting lucky with Wolfenstein 3D.

Master Chief (Halo) is a rip-off of "Doom Guy".

[GuyMcBrofist]

Ocarina of Time is dog shit.

It's got its flaws for sure. The problem for me is that when it comes to FPS games, it mostly feels like I've been playing reskins of Half-Life 2 ever since.

Agreed. E2M3 of Duke3d is a very di*kish level.

Phantasy Star 4 and Jedi Outcast aren't anything special.

Great for QuickMan's stage

 Though one can't argue with the metal blades.

UT2004 (but its only multiplayer and its technically just a standalone expansion pack of UT2003 in my eyes)

Dude! Jedi Outcast is like, one of my fave games ever!! A stunning game for it's time. I've even got a Jedi Outcast tattoo!

.....Well.....who did?

[OliveTree]

@PeterMoro no one did, space marines is just a classic science fiction concept, and actual soldiers wear green so a lot of space soldiers often do as well.

I can. Quickman's boomerangs can get rid of enemies the metal blades can't. Like those crawling things that spring up when you get close. They're also good against those big jumping machine guys you find near the boss door.

There is another way you can argue with it. The blades don't even work on QuickMan.

Sonic CD is the best Sonic game.

And here's the irony: Some people actually think Doom 2016's Doom Slayer is a rip-off of Master Chief.

 

Spoiler

funny, I know

Well, it's the most well known one for sure, but yeah, it is one of the opinions only. For example, I like MM3 the most, but I won't defend for MM3 because the controls for MM3 suck.

[[McD] James]

Sonic CD is crap. The level design is sterile, it's short and insultingly easy. 

 

Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness is decent. 

 

Street Fighter X Mega Man and the Strider reboot are both masterpieces.

This is perhaps one of the most common opinions I usually come across, can't think of it as unpopular.
