10 Controversial Gaming Opinions You Should Keep To Yourself

2. The N64 Is A Bad Console

The N64 is a beloved console. It represents the childhoods of so many people and due to that, it is protected by a thick layer of nostalgia. No doubt a lot of people recall all the fond memories of playing Goldeneye and Mario 64. But, looking at the console critically... well, that presents some issues.

It is belabored by fundamental issues that go beyond simple age. Even at the time, it wasn't as well polished as it should have been. There were a lot of frame-rate issues making games clunky and jumpy.

Not to mention, the controller was designed by Satan and was only comfortably operable by extreme contortionists.

These aren't issues that are a result of time passing. Consoles of any time shouldn't have these problems. But, that janky console won the hearts of so many people. It's a gaming treasure. However, having four decent games doesn't make it the best thing going.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
