Unpopular Opinions Thread Options

To be honest I always quit in Battlefront. I always play Empire and whenever they force
me to become Rebel terrorists I just leave the queue. Not a popular opinion but I can't stand playing as the Rebels.

The Empire has style man!

I believe that the actor who portrayed Uriel Septim VII during Daggerfall's intro did every bit as good a job as did Patrick Stewart in Oblivion. (The fellow standing beside him play Chancellor Ocato, on the other other hand, is sort of stiff. Then again it's not much of a part.) I'd have been perfectly happy had they used him again and spend the money saves on Stewart's fee to hire additional voice actors to add a bit of welcome variety to the game and/or create additional dialog lines for the populous at large.

If I recall correctly, it was disk space, rather than budget, which limited Oblivion's voice assets. I remember that there's an interview out there somewhere in which a Bethesda designer talks about having to remove all but one arenas from the game to reduce dialogue lines and save file space. One of the limitations of having the game on consoles, I imagine.

That said, having lesser known voice actors fill those roles would inject more variation into the industry at large. Anyone who has played all of the Mass Effect and Dragon Age games will have heard the same 4 or 5 VAs pop up a whole bunch of times with various characters.

Big name actors aren't all bad though. Kate Beckinsale does a fantastic job as Queen Ayrenn in ESO.

I remember in Battlefront 2 (what a game!) I always played as either the Clone Troopers or The Empire. Those Kaminoans sure know how to design a nice set of armour.

Oh, my goodness, quoted for truth!

Ya know, I wouldn't have minded shelling out a few bucks (or more than a few bucks) for a DLC that added thousands of lines of quality dialog choices to Cyrodiil's residents. (Millions would be even better.) Certainly of more interest that *cough* horse armor (nothing wrong with horse armor, but it shoulda been included in the vanilla game) or numerous fancy player homes (which can be equaled via mods for those into that sort of thing}.

And yes, I realize huge voice packs are likely verboden on console. But why force PC users to adhere to limitations that don't apply to their systems? (Yeah, it's a losing argument in today's climate. Still, I still be it. Hmm... maybe this is another unpopular/minority opinion of mine???????)

I don't mind playing as either Empire or Rebels, the only time I don't like playing as the Empire is when I'm on the Endor level (The Aftermath Endor Map isn't to bad as the Empire) is playing as a regular Stormtrooper while the Rebels are a bit more properly camouflaged. White armor's is not the best camo for forest levels Empire, although Shadow Troopers are pretty good on Endor. I like playing on the Bespin map, every match I've played on has always been fun and balanced, Death Star Map----a bit of a let down.

Earth's history and human's history as we know them are false.

M&M's are gross.

I don't think they are gross but I don't see their appeal either..

[hazmick]

I love peanut M&M's. Regular M&M's? Not so much.

[ghastley]

When one is British, one eats Smarties, not M&M's. Especially the blue ones.

Made since 1882, apparently. They were called "chocolate beans" until someone objected to there not being any actual beans among the ingredients.

[Kane]

Smarties are good, and I much prefer Skittles and Sweet Tarts,

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

Peanut butter m&ms and pretzel m&ms are Khajiit's favorite m&ms.

-Coffee is disgusting.
-The movie Avatar is trash (the James Cameron one, not the Airbender one which I haven't seen).
-Hashtags are annoying, especially when multiple ones are slapped into a social media post for no good reason.
-The original Half-Life is better than Half-Life 2 (although they are both great).

Just to name a few.

[hazmick]

The live action The Last Airbender film was also trash.

[RaderOfTheLostArk]

I have a couple more that are sure to draw some ire. I'm not deliberately trying to, obviously, but I want to get them off my chest.

First, the outcry over Creation Club is seriously overblown. At least at this point. There is definitely potential for this to be a terrible idea, but everyone needs to cool their jets for the moment.

Second, Kingdom Hearts is massively overrated. The combat was fairly fun for the most part, but the story and lore is so incredibly stupid.

I feel it's justified, given that its files are shoved onto your HDD whethere you bought them or not. That's a complete disregard to people that have limited HDD space, or bandwith restrictions from their ISP.

Yes.

[Dark Reaper]

Played the original Half-Life and---I don't really like playing it on the PC/laptop, the controls are just to slippery and demands a controller. Blasphemy I know but HL2 uses a controller and works out great.
