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.

Final Fantasy X has the best combat in the series, but gets hate because of the voice acting. If it didn’t have voice over it would be considered one of the best FF games

A lot of people misinterpret the infamous laughing scene. They think it comes out of left field and is out of place... And that's what it's trying to do. It's supposed to be awkward. Tidus is trying to help Yuna release her anxiety by goofily laughing like a lunatic. Does this make the voice acting suddenly great? Nah not really. Also FFX's combat is the best. Being able to see who's turn is next, as well as which abilities might delay a turn. Really fun!

I don't mind the voice acting, but I can't enjoy the linear world connected by literal corridors.

And I hate blizball.

And I hate blizball.

Too far!

Naw, I get it. While it's personally my favourite mini game in all the Final Fantasy games (triple triad has nothing on it), I can totally get it. It starts off really rough and it's quite time consuming.

Triple triad could literally make the game easier to play if you converted your cards, blitz ball was only relevant to ffx because they forced you to play a game once. You could be a master at blitz ball and it has 0 affect on the game/story of ffx. Triple triad could make you invulnerable to any boss.

Ffviii is one of my favorites just because how intertwined every system within that game is. Gf's cards magic and combat all could benefit each other, a brilliant system that has yet to be replicated imo
