Gaming hot takes? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

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.

When I played RE4 on the Wii, I felt that controllers were a thing of the past and we entered a new era of gaming - the wiimotes were just amazing for RE4 - problem was it was the only game I played that really brought the controls to the next level. Somehow humanity fell back into the controllers - real shame honestly, but I'm glad I got to experience that next level of awesome I have yet to experience since

The Apple II is still the most fun I've ever had playing games. Even now, I will regularly go back and play games like Snake Byte and Swashbuckler in an emulator.

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.

Witcher 2 was more fun than Witcher 3. There, I said it.

Idk, just something about the super clunky controls and dated graphics (I played it about 4 years ago) made it extremely lovable. Witcher 3 had so much to do that I never got fully into the main story line. I'm probably an idiot though.
