What's some really unpopular opinion you have? (lemmings.world)

Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

Baldur's Gate 3, while a great game, doesn't deserve as much praise as it does because of its awful UX and bugs.

Agreed. The user interface is the worst. Everything does not need to be animated.

It definitely deserves the praise because of how pro-consumer it is, even if it has some flaws on the ui/u

I had a pretty big typo, I'm not saying it doesn't deserve any praise, I'm just saying it deserves less. I think a better way of saying it is that I wish folks were still critical of it while saying they enjoy it. Most people seem to think things are either good or bad and there's no room for nuance. Saying "I've found bugs and the UX is really bad" just seems to draw out a bunch of rabid fans even when you pair that statement with "I've been really enjoying this game, I've put many hours in and I recommend it".

Yeah, idk I'm a bit of a hipster on larian, played and loved dos 1 and 2, talked to everyone about it but very few people gave it a chance. Now bg3 has a lot of those same friends playing and talking about how great it is lol so I have the normal hipster response lol. Happysad
