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.

18 years later and there's absolutely nothing like Killer7 until today. Not even by the same developer suda51.

Killer7 gave me hope that in the future we'd have games even more bizarre and stylish than it. But nothing.

Frequent deep game sales are disrespectful to the customers because you either need to time your purchases or pay way more than the game "actually" sells for, and the gamer attitude of "I only buy games on sale" is both enabling this and disrespectful to game developers who charge a reasonable amount for their game.

Nintendo should have flopped years ago, but so many people shovel out cash for no other reason than 'it's Nintendo!'. No, you don't need every 'version' of the Switch or every color of joycon.

The Switch is a disappointment. The hardware is purposely under clocked because of the did a 'Pro' that ran at full speed it would really shine a light that in it's current spec, it's barely a 720p device. The OS is embarrassingly not done.

Nintendo hates it's customers. Loves to sue because you emulated a game you can't buy. Did you make a YouTube video and the games music played, that's their video now! Here's a crappy subscription were going to tie services to, but cloud saves... Nah. Discounts... Ha, no. (Meanwhile, Stream exists). Oh and they'll fight tooth and nail to not have to do warranty work (joycon drift for example).

Far less of the first party games are actually good. And any game that's multiplatform is better on anything that's not a Nintendo device. BotW was at best a 7/10, but the zealot fans sent death threats because it didn't get a perfect score. And the latest entry, looks like they yet again couldn't come up with real content so they did the classic fallback of 'have the player make their own fun'.

Oh and the Pokemon games are garbage. Every main line game since going 3d has been shit and a waste of money. There been no actual development, it's the same white bread game it's been since the 90s. Sorry, the older games were better, they had villains and rivals. Now it's what, disgruntled emo kids and an overly attached forced friend.
