Any weird/controversial opinions? I'll start. Before the remake, the best version of Resident Evil 4 was the Wii version. The Wiimote controls old Resi's tank controls better than any other controller at the time. The PC version had a bunch of little bugs and detractors that the Wii version just doesn't have.

I'll extend this by saying that the Wiimote is actually pretty damn good for shooters, and particularly good for accessibility. Not having to cramp up my hands to press buttons is awesome for having arthritis. Aiming with the Wiimote and moving with the nunchuck just feel really natural, you barely have to move your fingers for anything.

Overall, static games with carefully crafted experiences are better than any roguelike.

Yeah this is the point of the topic :) Saying stuff that others might not agree on.

What's a static game?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I meant games that don't randomize or change on repeat runs. Games that always offer a somewhat similar, scripted experience.

oh right. I guess generated content is a lot for common now than it used to be. I'm also not a fan. Map design suffers for it.
