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 think they mean when those system are impelmented into non RPGs, such as the new God of War games, Spider-Man, etc.
No I don’t. This is a thread for gaming hot takes.
Xp doesn’t even work in most RPGs.
Fast tarvel are optional in most games so if immersion is your thing just don’t use it. I am not gonna hold w key for 10 mins to go to a different area, that simply is a waste of time to me. I wish fast travel are available even for shorter distances.
The problem your’re describing is that the developers made uninteresting travel mechanics, and/or built their world in a way that requires the player to travel too much and too far.
Fast travel lets developers get away with bad design decisions, which they wouldn’t make if they knew there wasn’t going to be fast travel.
Agree on fast travel if immersion is your thing.
