What's the controversy?
The bitch in the first screenshot got called out for not playing prolly the most popular entry among diehard fans (Majora's Mask). She bills herself as a Zelda account and posts faggy ship slop and fandom memes (also a shitton of engagement farming posts like "delete one game forever").
But she only got into the series in 2019 with BotW (after it had already blown up and received GOTY awards and whatnot). Not that you can't be a fan after such and such date but for someone who posts about the series constantly, you'd think she'd at least play the bulk of the games. 7 years is more than enough time to play every game lmao but she didn't even play OoT until a few months ago from what I understand.
Also she's anti-white and possibly jewish. Just a few weeks ago she was stirring up fights over OoT's Gerudo being "orientalist".
Then there's this gross troon who apparently created the Zelda wiki (the Fandom site, not Zelda Dungeon which is far better) who ALSO didn't beat Majora's Mask.
BotW ruined Zelda forever.

Botw didnt just ruin Zelda it ruined every Nintendo franchise
I haven't played it yet and probably never will. Not out of spite but just because I'm not going to blow hundreds of dollars on a console for one game. I also never cared for the motion control gimmicks.
I got a new job at one point and had like a week between leaving one and starting the other so I bought a switch and botw and binged it (literally played like 10 hrs a day for 4 or 5 days) and came to the conclusion that its a mile wide and an inch deep
Great music, great art style, great environment design, over awesome vibe, terrible combat, terrible enemy variety, zero dungeons
Itd be an incredible game if there was actually anything to do besides climb all the over the place just to find materials you dont actually need

reminds me of this stupid meme. the absolute SOY aside, kid got a hinox toenail? who the fuck CARES
when was the last time you used a hinox toenail? to make "elixers"? why would you need those? I never made an elixer once lol
the game ecosystem really is an inch deep because you never get anything concrete as a reward for playing, not even a story. that's why I think the games thrive on clip farming. everybody posts their ridiculous inventions in TotK and people get mad when you point out they don't have any use in the actual game. saw a clip where a dude killed a hinox with a giant wrecking ball and laughed when he skipped out on collecting any of the shit he dropped. Because it's all WORTHLESS LMAO

This reminds me of the divide between old Resident Evil fans (survival horror) and new Resident Evil (over the shoulder shoot'em up)
I've knocked out 8 of them so far, and in the process of having to look up things, I've never come across evidence of the divide, only people referencing it.
Probably because you're not on twitter
I was gonna say ive only ever seen people who want more survival horror but im also not on twitter
My only objection to the argument is that that it always seems to boil down to either "the controls absolutely need to be shit" and "I like treating enemies like early 2000s Black Friday shoppers."
Having played all the classic REs except 0, the only time in them where you cannot simply shoot every single enemy in front of you dead is in the first thirty minutes of RE1 where you are BRIEFLY knowledge checked out of ammo. REmake might be a little bit more demanding in that regard, due to tougher zombie juking and the crimson heads. The difference between classic RE and RE4 is not nearly as big as people might imply.
@DrRyanSkelton @DEERBLOOD @RaHoWaJoe @Shadowbroker2135 @suquili out of curiosity what did you think of RE9, is that GOTY or is it Pragmata
Haven't played Pragmata yet. I honestly don't think I've seen a game this year that makes me think "That's it! That's the one!" so right now the GOTY bar is not particularly hard to clear. Maybe I'm forgetting one but this year we're not seeing a lot of competition in the early months. So right now the choices are RE9, Pragmata, or Bunny Garden 2.
RE9 is probably not something I'd give GOTY to except by default. It is two excellent halves of different yet complementary games stapled together, but it's not as rewarding to repeated play as some of the better games in the genre. It's not something I see myself picking up and running again, and the higher difficulty is a bit of a wash. The DLC is probably needed to round out the package.

@DrRyanSkelton @DEERBLOOD @RaHoWaJoe @Shadowbroker2135 @suquili @bleedingphoenix mewgenics is already my GOTY
I have zero doubt Mewgenics is of high quality but there's just no way I'm playing it. I'm just too opposed to the aesthetic.
@DrRyanSkelton @DEERBLOOD @RaHoWaJoe @Shadowbroker2135 @suquili @bleedingphoenix while i will say it's your loss i also think it's sad you'd throw such a nice game away while still tolerating other games that are way worse in regards to things like ideology or "soul"

The problem is we already live in an overtly ugly world, at least when it comes to society and that developer just makes games that are kind of ugly. I'm not saying that he should change his art or whatever, just sharing why people are turned off by it.
@WhitestTemplar @DEERBLOOD @DrRyanSkelton @RaHoWaJoe @Shadowbroker2135 @suquili @bleedingphoenix i wouldnt really call mewgenics ugly, it's cartoony it does use a few guts here and there but it never really reaches the same levels as the binding of isaac
i fact i'd say it's pretty light hearted tho then again, i live in the country where death is always around the corner so maybe i have developed a higher tolerance i dont know

@rlier23 @DEERBLOOD @DrRyanSkelton @RaHoWaJoe @Shadowbroker2135 @WhitestTemplar @suquili this just looks like standard flash animation aesthetic to me.
@bleedingphoenix @DEERBLOOD @DrRyanSkelton @RaHoWaJoe @Shadowbroker2135 @WhitestTemplar @suquili yes edmuns style is based on the newgrounds golden era so it's similar tho i would say pretty polished in its excecution
