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.

Damn, you can voice unpopular opinions on Lemmy and be upvoted for contributing to the discussion. What a wild place this is!

I couldn’t get into DRG, but I’m willing to give it another try.

That is honestly like 90% of the reason I have stuck around, the community here is reminiscent of early reddit (or rather when I joined circa like 2011). But, yeah I totally appreciate that people enjoy it and I'm happy they do, I just really don't agree with most their points.

Totally off topic, but with the third party client I’m using I forgot I was even using lemmy until I saw your comment.

I had my fingers crossed that someone was gonna pop in and start shitting on Zelda or something else of the sort that would get a ton of people going

Love Zelda but I rate BotW a high 7, and TotK a solid 8. Excellent games, some flaws.

my scores would be lower if I had played on the switch though, to be honest

Full disclosure: I don’t do dumb journalism ratings. 5 is a game worth playing. 6 is a good game. 7 is great. 8 is excellent. 9 is basically flawless or unique or brilliant. 10… I think I have like four tens.
