Is it unpopular to absolutely hate every fishing minigame ever included in action-adventure games (e.g. Zelda, Nier, Okami, Sonic Adventure)? They're always very repetitive (usually holding the stick to the opposite side that the fish is going, repeat ad nauseam) and heavily dependent on a random factor (you don't know which fish you're getting until after doing the minigame). I love getting 100% in action-adventure games, but if there's a fishing minigame that is a thing I'll usually left out. I was getting angry right now at Okami as I spent half an hour waiting for the random factor to give me a specific fish to no avail, so that's another game that I won't go for 100% just because of the fishing. I already got everything else, but I'm still missing around 17 fish and I can't imagine how many hours and a tired thumb it will take to get each of them. It's the randomness and the complete change in gameplay that kills these minigames to me. Fishing was the only part of Nier Automata that I never finished, and I absolutely love that game. Seriously, if I created a game and it had any fishing element in it, I would allow the main character to throw a grenade in the water and be done with it. I'm afraid it might not really be an unpopular opinion, though... Hilarious. I actually enjoyed the Dreamcast game when it came out on HD for the PS3, but to be fair I didn't play it for too long.

Unpopular opinion: ReviewTechUSA is still good in 2022
Anybody who hates evil, dystopian companies like Amazon and Subway and/or far-right, all-american, gun-worshipping pigs like Alex Jones is a good guy in my book.

Unpopular opinion: Piranha Plant in Smash Ultimate is a cooler fighter than all the guest fighters across all the Smash games combined.
Even though I (thankfully) haven't played Smash Ultimate because it's a casualized piece-of-shit for mentally retarded babies (I have a personal policy against wasting any of my precious time on causal garbage games like Brawl, Sm4sh, "Ultimate", etc.), I am still willing to give Sakurai praise for including this fighter in Ultimate despite all of the hate he got for it. My main reason: Piranha Plant is a first party character.
Smash Bros never needed guest fighters. That was one of the many, many mistakes that ruined this once-fun fighting franchise.
If I were to take it upon myself to fix the Smash Bros series, I sure as fuck would have my work cut out for me, since I would be absolutely swamped with piles upon piles of awful shit to fix. But one of the first things I would do is throw out ALL of the guest fighters. The guest fighters never appealed to us old-school, hardcore Nintendo fans. We didn't ask for them. We didn't want them. They were just a venal, financially driven addition resulting from Nintendo focus-group testing the absolute fuck out of the Smash games to the lowest common denominator of gamers: filthy casuals. You could make a solid Smash Fighter with an 80-character roaster composed entirely of first party characters and still have room for more nintendo characters. I mean, what about all the Kongs from DK64? What about the forgotten Fire Emblem lords like Micaiah and Leif? Or the twins from The Sacred Stones? Need I go on?
Nintendo is an artistically bankrupt company and they can all go fuck themselves. #MakeSmashGreatAgain
