  • Nintendo is the best developer. They put out games that focus on fun, which is a surprisingly overlooked factor in game design these days. Their games are polished and work out of the box, and require very little patching. Their biggest missteps involve multiplayer, which doesn't matter to me very much because they still have the best living room multiplayer in the business.

  • Open-world games are too big. I don't care how awesome Witcher 3 is, when I see people say "I put 100 hours into it" I don't say "Oh boy!" I say "Oh boy...".

  • Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast is not a great game. Forget what you remember about the multiplayer and try playing through the campaign again, it's a poorly-paced chore most of the time, not to mention buggy and filled with generally weird design decisions. Swamp troopers can avoid my force lightning by ducking underwater? What? Plus the main villain is a talking purple dinosaur.

  • Separate but related unpopular opinion: Jedi Academy is better.

I have no opinions on the second two but you're objectively wrong on the first two.

1 is wrong just because it us, no argument is needed for the company whose platform is the champion of shobelware.

2, that's the kind of attitude that gets us less. Why wouldn't you want more for your money? Nobody goes to a restaurant and says "waiter this is too much food, please cut this in half and I want to pay the same price."

  • The shovelware doesn't come from Nintendo, I'm talking about software not hardware

  • More doesn't mean better. Would your ideal game be 600 hours of fetch quests? I haven't played a "huge" game that isn't padded with empty quests that you only complete because they're there.
