Yeah, I think it's this and it's also an (American) political thing, I guess. I just don't see sexuality as something bad. A character can be attractive and deep or relatable. And I think it's the funniest thing because the online discussion is so far removed from reality. I don't usually mind, but in the case of Xenoblade 2 (a game I absolutely adored when it came out back in late 2017 and still adore today) I was shocked because this masterpiece of a game gets talked down because of something as petty as this. 

People who hate on this are usually just miserable prudes who want to spoil other people's happiness out of spite.

I always thought the complaints were mostly a feminist thing, because sexualization seems to often be shunned upon by them.

“Low” frame rate. As an amateur film maker, 24 fps has always been the baseline standard for things to look real enough for me. Even James Cameron kept his high frame rate at a tasteful 48 fps.

In gaming it is different because the camera isn’t a fixed POV and the image needs to remain clear in the face of unpredictable player inputs, but even with this in mind I’ve always considered 60 fps to be a performance benchmark with maximum settings and the highest level of technology.

Anything over 120 fps seems like chasing a dragon. I know this guy who was going on about how 240fps is a night-and-day difference over 120, but he didn’t realize his monitor was locked at 60fps the whole time. Numbers-go-up is a huge placebo effect and a damn expensive one.

Guys, 30fps is fine, 60 is great, 120 is pushing your hardware for the sake of it. Keeping the frame rate stable is far more important. Besides, your hardware will last longer if you can appreciate lower frame rates.

@Shadow1980, I've never had a problem with Resi's tank controls. Tank controls in other games do feel clunky but Resi is different (particularly 0 & 1 remake) because the walking & running animation is really smooth that it makes most other tank (& even non-tank) controlled games (of 5th & 6th gen) feel clunky instead.

Your right that tank controls are a product of their time, but I believe Resi geniusly implemented them; the first zombie encounter (Resi 1) felt challenging as trying to turn around to get away within a time limit created a sense of panic. Accidently running into that wall would elevate that panic into extreme panic. That scare would then stick with the player for the rest of the game, making every new door, room, camera angle provoke the feeling of dread around every corner. Design choices like this were no accident despite being a product of it's time.

I really love the modern remakes & sequels. The controls are perfect but I cannot compare the two control schemes as they are both too different which changes how the games play to a fundamental degree. It would be like comparing the controls of a Shmup with Starfox (or Space Invaders with no Man's Sky). Each control style suits the particular mechanics & game design of the particular game.

@ConsoleWarVet While I'd argue that most games do benefit from 60 fps (though some are fine at 30 depending on genre), I do agree that, just like resolution, there is diminishing returns for frame rates. Like, I've played Halo Infinite in both 60 fps and 120 fps modes (and my TV does support that and made sure the settings were right) and I honestly couldn't tell much a difference. But I could always notice a leap going from clunky games like Perfect Dark on the N64 to a steady 30 fps with Halo CE to the 60 fps of most modern action games. I do also agree that maintaining a steady frame rate is very important regardless of what the target frame rate is.
