Not at all, nowhere did I say or imply such a thing.
As for the google remark, it was intended as nothing more than a lighthearted contest of your statement of 'fact' as opposed to a conscious attempt to start an in depth debate on the inevitably infuriating subject

Here goes another unpopular opinion:
Medal of Honor Warfighter was a good game and did not deserved called "Another grey/brown military shooter", by people who never played and only watched youtube "bitching" videos, but still played their Cods and BF games.
I'm not taking this from a man that likes Heavenly Sword and Killzone yet hates Nintendo games!

Nintendo's pinnacle was the N64 anything after that has been rubbish IMO
I found the N64 to be Nintendo's low point myself. It had far and away the worst Mario Kart with Mario Kart 64 and it was just an all around dreadful console. It was far more powerful than the PS1 yet hardware designs such as only allowing 64Kb textures left games looking awful in comparison. Someone of their games are very hard to go back to. Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask while great games are hard to play now. It takes an awful long time to get into them due to the poor graphics and crappy game engine.
Once the Gamecube and GBA came Nintendo really out did themselves with amazing titles and they made some stunning games on the Wii. The DS is probably my favourite console of all time.
I still think their golden years were on the SNES/Gameboy.

You will get an heart attack now!
Heavenly sword and Dantes inferno are my favourite "God of war clone" type games ( including god of war it self too ) of them all. The only 2 I finished as I liked them so much.
*watches retro fall dawn.
** I liked Bayonetta, but my 360 died and I never came back to it. I got it for ps3 now and I plan on coming back to it. I dont really care about battle system and how good or bad it is, I just like the game it self.0 -

Out of all the games you listed miju, only 1 (Ocarina) is actually from Nintendo. The rest have mostly either dated badly, are better on playstation or other formats. I'll give you the wrestling games though.
I usually find Mario top of the heap when it comes to platform games with the rest being pale imitations. Even Rare's most lauded work on the N64 was desperately trying to be like Mario 64 and never really reached that level. I'd take diddy kong racing, F-zero X, Beetle Adventure Racing and San Francisco Rush any day over Mario Kart 64 though. That game just wasn't very good.

Not mad about God of War games. I liked the first one, really liked the second one and hated 3. I did like the PSP games though.
However God of War and it's clones totally pale in comparison to Something like Ninja Gaiden, Devil May Cry and Bayonetta. I'd much rather play a technical fighter like that than a button mashing GoW clone so I'll give you that one since I've not bothered with those two games much.

Gone be the days where a developer had to get it fully right first time and couldn't patch a game after release.
Like I said before 500 hours to you might seem like alot but to a competitive player it's pissing time and the games still broken :P:P:P:P
Well, I just think there is a fine line between piss taking and legit. From both sides by the way and in no way I defend EA for a rushed game.
For me, it takes few hours or a few minutes to realise that game is not fit for purpose. If you managed to get 500 hours of gameplay out of it on such "broken" game and then getting a refund, then it goes in to "piss taking" category for me.
Fact is, I got BF4 on PC and PS4, both with Premiums. I have only 80h played between them and it is more then playable for months now. The worst was the first month and after that its playable and enjoyable. I can see myself playing it a lot more and I dont really think its fair to demand refund. **** netcode though, still ****. 0 -

Here's an unpopular opinion from a Nintendo fan.
The zelda series needs a kick up the arse and to try something new.
Nearly every zelda game since Link to the Past has been remaking Link to the Past in some way. The games just play it safe with the same formula over and over. While I do enjoy the games it gets old fast so much so that I didn't really enjoy Skyward Sword.
Zelda really should have more inventive entries in the series. Links Awakening and Majora's Mask are two of my favourites in the series, MAjora's being my absolute favourite, and both demonstrate how you can take the established Zelda formula and craft and totally unique and brilliant game out of it.
I'd love to see Nintendo be brave enough to craft another game as inventive as Majora's Mask. It's even more frustrating that the person over Zelda at the moment has been in charge since Majora's Mask and Majora's Mask was his first time in a lead role with the series.

You see for you as a casual gamer 80hrs is alot, for me 80hrs is just getting used the maps. For me 500 hours in competitive gaming is small and what you see as normal I would see as a glaring problem with the game.
I still dip into it for about 30 mins or so once a week to keep check of the game but it's still badly broken.
But I tell you what though if you can tell me how the below video from a competitive point of view is acceptable then I'll concede your point.
Recorded few days ago btw:
