Most popular indie games are artsy and pretentious just for the sake of being artsy pretentious, and just like with modern art you're seen as some kind of uncultured swine if you can't appreciate them.

Braid and Limbo would fit that category for me.

See Disneyland screenshot below ;-)

Shogo is actually quite dandy.

One game my friends loved, and which I found utterly boring and silly was Rise of the Triad: Dark War. Still completed it in one FPS drought. Also classic RTS simply aren't for me. So C&C, Warcraft, Starcraft... please don't bother me with them... Same goes for Diablo-esque ARPGs, click, kill, loot, level, *yawn* - although I kind of liked the original Diablo for the Gothic mood.

I hate Sunless Sea with a passion. The story and the ambiance are quite good... but the grind, the gameplay, the horridly slow pace...
I still remember staring at my screen for 10 minutes, depressively watching my boat going back and forth from one town to another.
To me, that's the worst game I ever played.

My unpopular opinion about games: the vast majority of them are garbage. KOTOR included. Especially KOTOR.

Well, you got me thinking, Borderlands is taking place in a post apocalyptic Disneyland, but I like Borderlands a lot.
Fallout 3 and New Vegas are just too boring for me I guess.

They are slow games, admittedly, and esp. FO3 has a lot of problems. I like slow though and avoid stuff like "quick travel" wherever possible (if it's not in-game, like Guild Teleport or Stilt Striders in Morrowind).

I've played only a bit of NV so far, and it's different in that it takes place in a desert which has always been a desert. So far I'm liking it a lot, more than Skyrim at least.

I tried Borderlands at a friend's place and this one I found utterly boring. I liked the style, but it was typical ARPG stuff - kill, loot, level. And with quickly respawning mobs...
That's why you have 1164 of them ;-)

Yes, exactly. The likelihood of finding a good one is so small you have to buy a ton and then hope there's a nugget of gold in there somewhere..

Buy the haystack and hope for a needle, so to speak...

Oh, and lest I forget, I wouldn't give two cents for Deus Ex. :^P

Also Thief, while I thought things would only get better and better after the first levels, I was wrong and it rapidly got worse.

The CoD series is not bad

Daggerfall & Morrowind were not all that good

The Legend of Zelda (NES) and Zelda Occarina Of Time were among the weaker parts of the series (obviously excluding the CD-I ones)

Civ 6 is the best civ.

Dawn of War 2 is the worst Dawn of War

The games,I hated/discarded/buried in the backyard/burnt/thrown in the river/giveaway as presents/sold to saps/fed to sharks/used as target practice/flushed down the dunny are long forgotten.

If you're talking about the first Thief then sure. Unless you have a super memory for the hugely intricate levels and like the supernatural elements, neither of which applied to me, then the game only gets worse. I only made it as far as the cathedral level before I couldn't take it anymore.

Thief 2 on the other hand has neither of these problems iirc. It feels a lot more thief-y and is possibly the best in the series.

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link is the best game in the Zelda series.

Twilight Princess is bland, soulless and mediocre. It's the weakest part in the Zelda franschise, at least out of the ones I've played.

#1: Star Control: Origins is a fine Star Control game, that has better gameplay but somewhat weaker dialogue than the Ur-Quan Masters.

#2: VNs, Walking Simulators, and H-Games all are legitimate games and worthy of recognition.

#3: I consider DRM and Curation to be potential forms of censorship, and should be opposed.

#4: Old games suck, newer games suck less. Games do not age like fine wine.

#5: The classic Fallout games suck when compared to New Vegas, simply because of their clunky interface and pacing. I actually couldn't stomach Fallout 1, and abandoned it a couple hours after starting it.

#6: Console manufacturers shouldn't be able to mandate game exclusivity for their consoles, nor prevent "inappropriate" games from being released into their ecosystem.

#7: Thief 3 is a good game and satisfying conclusion to the classic series. The Thi4f Reboot is actually decent from a gameplay standpoint.

#8: Bioshock 2 makes me bored and sleepy.

Agreed, most games age like milk. There are exceptions to this rule, but they are rare.
