What's with all this hate for barrel rolls and love for anything Wipeout 3??

Barrel rolls make me pay attention to the terrain that much more, especially since some also require a Turbo... and who doesn't love doing all that while using Auto Pilot? It's not like they're guaranteed, either. Too many times I've landed before the full barrel roll and I didn't get the boost, but I still lost shield. That's as much risk & reward as anything else, right?

As for Wipeout 3, I've been meaning to make a "10 Things I hate about WipEout 3", but I don't want to get banned already... I wouldn't be posting about anything illegal; I just really, really hate that game. (Although I suppose I'd hate any Wipeout immediately following Wipeout XL...)
