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.

Because modern games are expensive. And the hardware you need to run them are also expensive.

So if you buy a game, you expect it to work as advertised. When you're then presented with a buggy and glitchy mess, obviously you'll get angry.

Gamers didn't just become whiny, publishers became greedy and sloppy.

Imagine a trailer for a new movie. It looks cool. All the famous reviewers said it looked cool. So you pay to go see it at launch. And you're presented with one short action scene, followed by 2 hours of watching paint dry.

That's exactly what so many new modern, marketed games are like.

Games were more expensive in the 90s, when you take inflation into consideration.

Games now cost 3x as much. My pay hasn't increased 3x. So even with inflation. Games are more expensive now.

Games during the NES/SNES era were $50+. Are you saying games now cost $150+ dollars? Or are you just in a region where inflation/currency has made prices shift more than in the US?
