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.

XP leveling systems and fast travel are bad mechanics that make games worse for their inclusion.

I strongly dislike open-world games and prefer denser, hub-world designs. Open-world designs do not immerse me. They feel like busy work.

WoW is overrated.

I don't like Half-Life, even though I appreciate that it has an important place in gaming history.

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.
