What's a hill you're willing to die on?

What's a (gaming) hill you're willing to die on?

I have a few:

1) Resi 6 is a good game with amazing 3rd person shooter mechanics
2) BoTW would be a worse game without weapon durability
3) If a remake is 1 to 1 with nothing but better graphics to offer over the original, it's probably unnecessary
4) The Order 1886 was a 7/10 game
5) You should have been able to disable the DS4 lightbar

30 FPS, while not ideal, is perfectly playable

RuneScape is better than WoW, especially in quest quality.

Dig a hole big enough for two.

 

[Cousin From Boston]

Both LOU games are overrated.

 

[Lobster Roll]

Death Stranding is literally the worst game I've played to completion.

 

[MarcelloF]

Crash Bandicoot is lame as hell. Sonic Adventure is better than any of them. All of Sonic's supporting cast are better than Crash and his supporting cast.

 

[bmdubya]

FIFA games are good and it's weird how people who don't play FIFA or sports games get really upset about its existence.

 

[Rassilon]

MGSV is great
ME3 is great
DICE's Star Wars: Battlefront titles are great
30fps is fine

 

[Biosnake]

Witcher 3 combat is dreadful.

Super Mario 3D World is the best Super Mario game yet, and is the true sequel to Super Mario Bros. 3.

 

[MrNewVegas]

Fallout New Vegas is the best FO game.

Invert Y is the logical and superior choice, you're controlling the head/camera... I push my head forward to look down and backward to look up irl.

 

[@TheFriendlyBro]

Disaster Report is the best survival game ever made.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I wouldn't mind dying on a silent hill.

 

[Blue_Toad507]

Woolly World is better than Yoshi's Island.

 

[hydruxo]

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts was actually good

 

[Capra]

The vast majority of Bayonetta's "gimmicks" are just forcing the player to adapt to a new situation in order to communicate a different aspect of the combat. It's because the combat is so deep and has so many facets that they're there, not because Platinum didn't have confidence in it.

Oh this to

Up is, of course, down, and down, is obviously, up

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Batmobile in Arkham Knight is good

What are some common critiques of specific games that you think are unfair or unwarranted?

No game is perfect, and even the best games ever made lend themselves to criticism in one area or another. Sometimes a particular critique ends up becoming a common refrain amid online discussion of a game. This is a thread for defending against those types of popular criticisms for specific...

you should be banned after this heresy tbh

 

[dipship31]

Rocket League is the greatest sports video game ever made

 

[poweld]

Art style is more important than graphical fidelity

 

[Nocturnowl]

That Loonatics unleashed was ahead of its time

Crap, now I gotta quickly think of something actually meaningful to say
errrr, the last third of Dark Souls is actually still pretty good outside Lost Izalith, yeah, that'll do.

 

[Mudo]

Tales of the Abyss is a great game with the best cast and story in the series. For some reason, I've seen people hating this game for years and I just don't get it. I thought the story was very intriguing and unique, and I use the "Seventh Phonon" phrase in my everyday life to this day lol.

I'll die on the hill of this just being the controversial opinions thread reskinned for this week.

Mario Odyssey is a bad video game.

 

[Canucked]

After the 16 bit era, turn based battles became too long (loading, animation, effects, etc). They were supposed to be fast and fluid. The only choice was to simplify or get rid of them.

 

[KrillinLikeAVillan]

The Witcher 3 has great combat.

 

[Bitanator]

Dragon Quest Monsters was always better than Pokemon

 

[rashbeep]

Both LOU games are overrated.

yep, although i did enjoy the story in the first game

 

[julia crawford]

the everest

 

[kaputt]

Gyro aiming sucks

 

[Ploid 6.0]

I'm not paying a subscription fee for online multiplayer. This basically made me PC only.

 

[djplaeskool]

The White Knight Chronicles games are good, actually.

 

[Whales]

fighting games aren't harder than other genres

 

[MegaSackman]

MediEvil is better than Crash Bandicoot and Spyro.

Not every hill you are willing to die on with be controversial though

I concede their will be some cross over though

This thread is basically just a rebrand of the "Your controversial gaming opinions?" thread and I am willing to die on this hill.

Uncharted 2 final boss is actually pretty fun.

 

[GeeseHoward]

RuneScape is better than WoW, especially in quest quality.

Shouldn't be a hot take, this is an absolute truth.

Witcher 1 is the best Witcher game, it has three best story, the best atmosphere, the best characters, the best escalation and the best ending.

Also the best alchemy

 

[Violet Wren]

Breath Of The Wild is a joyless, anxiety filled experience with no payoff or reward for fighting with the mechanics long enough to finish it.

 

[Servbot24]

Your favorite game sucks!

 

[Bufbaf]

Assassin's Creed 1 is the best game in the series.

Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam was actually a real fun game.

No other MMO has given me the satisfaction equal to hitting a 99 in Runescape and getting that cape. This is truth

 

[robotzombie]

Sengoku Basara is the Capcom IP most in need of a revival

SaGa Frontier 2 is the best SaGa game

 

[Deleted member 17210]

That plenty of games made before 1985 hold up and still play great. Nostalgia is not needed.

 

[Lothars]

2) BoTW would be a worse game without weapon durability

Botw would be a better game without weapon durability. Weapon Durability makes the game way worst and actively works against the player.

 

[TheAggroCraig]

Sonic '06 is more replayable than Sonic Heroes

 

[trashbandit]

2D Mario is boring.
