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.

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.

Isn't it a matter of player preference and spending power though?

I personally buy some 90% of my games on deep discounts (between 33% and 80% off) on sales in bulk, as I already have such a huge backlog it could be months before I get around to playing a game, I don't see the point in paying full price, but I'm also never in a rush to buy the latest, newest thing.
