Cold takes

things i disagree from the consensus on. for fun!

Pretty convinced anyone who thinks Arthas is actually a good character hasn't played anything other than Blizzard games and doesn't know what good writing is.
People that don't play shmups play this, don't really get it, but give it a good score so they look nuanced anyways when really it's a very flawed game with some awful stage design in the mid section.

Great music though.
Gets a really bad rap from shmup fans because of the waifus, but it's the second best DDP.
Extremely overrated. It's core feel and gameplay is really fun at it's best but an imbalanced roster and some dumb shit saps my will to play it for long. Good, but not the best SF.
Not sure how hot this take is but it's the best open world game and the best superhero game outright.
One note cool vibes can't carry a story with no hook.
Now they've shown that they're really going down the compilation shitty route with bringing in Weiss, I can really say that can't take the meta/new story stuff in Remake seriously. Shame, because the world and characters are wonderfully reimagined for the most part.
Literally 5 times longer than it should be. Ruins the game.
Maybe if this cute western sim didn't have Rockstar's trash mission design and constant sub-par third person shooting, it could actually be decent.
Far and away the best Fire Emblem.
It's not my take on the game that's controversial - I adore it. What probably is is that, as it stands at least, it's literally the only XBOX exclusive of any generation that's worth a shit.
Actually better than the first one - especially the DLC expansion Torna, which has some of the best combat in any RPG.

First one still slaps though, don't get me wrong.
Irrdeemably dogshit. Riot's traditionally awful character design and personality takes centre stage in a design-by-comittee CS rip off with a tiny amount of bad maps and literally nothing going for it.

I have no idea what people see in this game.

I'm not sure if I agree with you xc2 take but it's a hell of a lot better than 90% of this website's opinion of the game
