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.
Games where there’s no way to tell how to beat a level without encountering each of the surprise traps and then trying again are not “difficult”. They are an entirely different category much closer to “tedious”.
I do think the difficulty aspect of games like Dark Souls is played up too much, to the detriment of how good those games actually are.
Tedious is probably a fair assessment, tedious things can be fun though
