Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Someone told me to post this here and that's all I got to say.

My popular opinion is that I don't like this flavor of subcommunity

That's fair - sometimes you just want to pick up a controller and beat up baddies without the baggage of a whole story.

What grinds my gears is the reliance on loading screens, in-game books, displays, item descriptions, etc. to deliver story elements. It's one thing to use them to deliver extra flair, I.e. Skyrim's Lusty Argonian Maids, but if I'm having to read pages of text just to know what's going on in the game, then that's plain bad story-telling.

I respectfully disagree! I'm all about that kind of storytelling. I'm not about to go to bat for Skyrim though. The maid stuff felt like fluff, not what I personally prefer
