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.
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.
If only i could upvote you several times. I agree with every point, and was already called a Nintendo Hater, and now i say it with pride. Nintendo is just extremely anti-consumer, anti art preservation, anti community (even their own fans), actively erasing gaming history, and taking advantage of ignorants and ideologically confused fanboys in shitty deals, products and services. If this company were founded today, they would be dead in less than 3 years, but they successfully milk the nostalgia from their golden years from the 80s to early 2000s. Can only say this: It is ethically good to boycot Nintendo, do piracy emulation and buy from other places.
