History YMMV / HardcoreGaming101

** In October 2017, almost 14 years after the site's opening, [=HG101=] underwent a complete redesign from a simple "web 1.0" HTML database to a [=WordPress=]-based modern and streamlined design. The reasons are because it's easier to upload and mantain the huge number of articles, for accessibility purposes and because modern web design dictates that a site needs to be browsed on a variety of portable devices. However, not everyone is happy with this. Fans of the redesign say the old site was too archaic-looking and difficult to be taken seriously as an informative portal. Detractors say it was at least visually distinct and now looks like every sub-par gaming blog under the sun, and also complain that several unique features had to be removed, making it less interesting to browse and less complete, especially in regard to the huge amount of screenshots and some of the more curious features (and many, many articles somehow didn't survive the transition and can only be found on the archived original site). Like every major change, it's impossible to find a way to please everyone.
** And once again in January 2020, when Kurt Kalata (Discoalucard), who manages the [=HG_101=] got in an argument over the Goemon 3 fan translations for its usage of slurs.

* DanBrowned:
** The Bayou Billy review says that there are no ammo pickups in the shooting stages. That's just plain not true.
** The ''VideoGame/PoleNoDaibouken'' review says that you cannot turn off the commentary. However, the main menu has an option that lets you turn off the commentary (or [[TakeAThirdOption move the commentary to the Wii Remote Speaker]]). Then again, the whole thing was in Japanese...
** The ''Change Air Blade'' writeup complains it is not possible to [[PlayAsABoss turn into your fighter's boss form]] in single player. You can, although the power-up to do so does not appear in the first few rounds.

** And once again in January 2020, when Kurt Kalata (Discoalucard), who manages the [=HG_101=] made an accusatory tweet about a certain slur used in a fan translation of Goemon 3, resulting in mob mentality kicking in and barraging the translation group with insults, accusations and sheer harassment, while claiming in his own defense that he didn't send a mob. One of the members of the translation group simply started blocking people, while the other one gave in to depression and quit his job as a translator. All this happened over an accurate translation work. And Kurt claimed there was no damage to control. Details of the massive controversy can be found in [[https://boundingintocomics.com/2020/01/28/goemon-3-fan-translator-cant-continue-quits-after-receiving-harassment-for-accurate-translation/ here]].

Also, some preferred white text on black background instead of the opposite because it's less taxing to their eyes. Like every major change, it's impossible to find a way to please everyone.
