Yooka-Laylee wasn't that bad it's just that people don't know what the hell they want.

The controls worked fine, the levels were gorgeous, the weird burbling noises were a thing in the Banjo series that people wanted YL to emulate in the first place, and while the powerups weren't flashy they weren't bad either. The only thing I can really agree on with commentary about the game is that exiting worlds to expand them is slightly annoying as you can't 100% a world first run but the game was fine people just thought they wanted a new collect-a-thon platformer but when they got one they crashed out.

• Also I don't consider Yoshi's Island to be part of the Super Mario Bros series simply because while it's called Super Mario World 2 (despite being a prequel) it's also a game with a different playable character, a different gameplay (yes, it's platforming but not with the same mechanics) and if DKC and Wario Land are seen as separate series then this one as well.

I agree. Yoshi's Island isn't a Mario game. It's a Yoshi game.

People who disconnect when they're invaded in a Soulslike game are clearly not ready for online gaming and should have every surface in their house covered in foam and bubblewrap.

Mario Land 3 isn't either a Mario Land game, is officially a Wario Land game

GTA V is overhated just bc it isnt as realistic or dark as GTA IV and bc it has an "empty" overworld

No matter how hard the original game was, you still can't make every enemy be as hard as the final boss or every level a Kaizo in your hack and call it difficulty fixing patch

I personally don't like calling A Link to the Past "Zelda 3" simply because, while it's the third entry in the franchise, is not a sequel to Adventure of Link. I don't see anybody calling Link's Awakening (or Ocarina of Time if people only count home console releases as the mainline ones) "Zelda 4".

I've never called it that and stopped numbering Zeldas after two. Yet I still to this day see ALttP sometimes get called Zelda 3. I'm glad we stopped numbering Zeldas. Especially with all the timeline stuff. It would get confusing fast.
