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.

Dude amen, I hate the ideology of "I just want to have fun who cares if we win" ...your teammates do. Thank goodness for skill based matchmaking and ranked although they tend to slow down the experience at times.

Games should have "carefree" lobbies for people who want to "just relax and play"

SBMM on its own sucks, but I agree ranked can be fun. Where you have SBMM but an actual indication of your skill level/growth represented by rank. So the sweaty matches don't give you an existential crisis but instead make sense in context of trying to rank up.
