you need to play at least one game that youtuber consensus fucking hates and form your own opinion. Your taste in games will improve significantly if you do this simple action

I wonder if games like Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts and MySims would also count

wd83.bsky.social•82 days ago

Hated it back when it came out.
Still hate it now.
My opinion hasn't changed.

Also, I didn't watch Youtube video game reviews. I made my own opinion about games in 2010's. I still try to. I don't wanna be the guy who got his "cute opinion" from a Youtuber.

I loved Skyward Sword day 1 and the HD version was so much better! Do not regret buying it at full price at all.

Me and the Forever Entertainment versions of Panzer Dragoon and House of the Dead

They’ll never hear me hate Origami King, yeah it’s weird but it’s also fun.

xavelrie.bsky.social•82 days ago

I feel this way, but not with a game. I love RWBY, but man does the internet HATE that show. A LOT. I don't think it's perfect, but it's not as bad as how -absolutely reviled- a lot of people make it out to be.

Switch version is legitimately better removing most interruptions

Looks stellar too

Best zelda on switch after tears and breath

I really enjoyed it on Wii, I was just over the structure by the time the Switch one dropped. I might try again someday but idk.

I'll joke that it's bad but I know I had a great time with it

bloodsugarzx.bsky.social•82 days ago

Well to be fair the HD version did fix a lot of the stuff people complained about it all the time and Made the motion controls optional for those who dislike them.

Similarily how some people play some games emulated which fix terrible performance issues and don't find them that bad.

Being left handed, it was pretty ironic if not frustrating to see a right handed Link in the one game it would've mattered for me. With no option to make Link left handed.

Good for y'all but my day 1 experience is the same as today.

commodore128.bsky.social•82 days ago

Yup, same with Star Fox Zero. Too many people jump into these games not knowing how to play them, never bother to properly learn, and then write them off as bad.

Unfortunately, negativity gets more clicks.

jckix.bsky.social•82 days ago

I felt this way about Knack 1 on the PS4 😅

lenonexistent.bsky.social•82 days ago

got the impression that Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts absolutely sucked when I was a kid based on what people said online, but when I played it for the first time in around 2015 or 2016, I actually liked it a lot

lenonexistent.bsky.social•82 days ago

completely understand why the more hardcore Banjo fans dislike it and I definitely wouldn't want a new Banjo game to go in the same direction that N&B did, but I think it's a good game

gr33dy-ph4nt0m.bsky.social•82 days ago

I’ve always had the opinion that Skyward Sword is so much more likable when you remove the Wii controls, and the HD version proved me right

aurorososprey.bsky.social•82 days ago

This guy gets it ☝️

A lot of people complain about the motion controls in Skyward Sword Wii. For the most part, they're the same as the Twilight Princess motion controls and are pretty easy for me. *FUCK* the motion controls on the harp sections though.

vgafanatic.bsky.social•82 days ago

It's probably my least favorite Zelda game, because it felt like it wasn't a good balance between traditional and newer Zelda conventions that, at the time, weren't welcome changes of pace. The backtracking and motion controls didn't help.

I do understand why people love it now. Just not for me.

benjamage.bsky.social•82 days ago

The 2010s YouTube era absolutely didn't do Skyward Sword any favours.

kirbyfan45real.bsky.social•77 days ago

Whenever I went back to old 2010s reviews, I always had this feeling that the reviewer wasn’t fair on the game and they just wanted to become the next AVGN or JonTron

benjamage.bsky.social•77 days ago

Yeah, that was basically the trend at the time.

I learned a while ago to not trust any opinion of Egoraptor given his adamant refusal to meet any game played after he turned 12 half way
