There is only one reason someone wanted white people in a new production of Hamlet, because they were (likely) white people in Shakespeare's original production.

There is only one reason someone wanted Peter Pepper of Burger Time to be a white person, cause in the original arcade game you can just make out he is white when avoiding sausages.

There is only one reason someone wants white people on the baseball team, because the first baseball team maybe had all white people.

There is only one reason someone wanted white men at Yale, because they were all white men in the original graduating class.

Any changes to these would be jarring for someone.

@Truegamer79
"Actors should be chosen for their talent and acting skills" Hard agree.
A lot of people (not saying you are one of them) will say cry woke if non white/binary actors are cast for the right reason though.
There will be cases where these decisions have been made for political reasons but it's very problematic to just instinctively fall back on this assumption.
Being a minority doesn't preclude you from talent.

Re: Review: Donkey Kong Bananza (Switch 2) - Absolutely Smashing, But Can It Beat Mario Odyssey?

John_Deacon

everything can be broken, but that doesn't mean everything should be. Each layer is set up not to be destroyed, but to be explored

This in itself makes grabbing each collectible a puzzle/challenge, and if the team somewhat followed what they did in Odyssey, that's a brand new game to explore after you beat the final boss. As I love collectibles in platformers, I consider this a treat

some sections see hundreds of objects, each with their own physics, realised on screen at once, lifting the lid on a new console generation in style.

I love that freedom and level design when it comes to platformers. It makes each stage a whole new world that needs to be absorbed before you can master it

can I say that Donkey Kong Bananza is better than Super Mario Odyssey? No, I can't. And honestly, what is?

If that's the kind of Droid we're looking for, we just won't be happy with hardly anything. Great level design, creativity and the reinvention of a classic character that deserves all the love in the world suffice.

And I like that the reviewer pointed the frame drops as a con. I'm not sure that's what made it a 9 instead of a 10, but although I'm not expecting anything to run perfectly (virtually nothing does even on PS5), we deserve top notch optimization

Re: Rumour: Major Third-Party Devs Reportedly Sitting On Multiple Switch 2 Announcements

I thought that a nintendo consumer supposed to buy nintendo's platforms for the exclusivities. If there are no exclusivities then why to bother give a great amount of money and effort to play 3,4 or 5 years old 3rd party games that already been on other platforms and cheaper ?!
Besides, I don't know anyone, from this generation, that have only a Switch platform as only and main gaming platform.

At least for me that was the reason that I bought Switch Oled. Many 1st parties and some indie or AA games that didn't play or seemed better on other platforms (+ the hybrid factor).

Now, has almost 0 exclusives (at least for now) and all those PS4 era games that have been announced I have already played them on PC or PS/PS5.

Also, I don't care if companies want a cheaper way to put their games. I care only for my pocket and I can't see any real benefit from game key cards.
I have already switched this gen on digital only, but this "monster" that they call game key card it has no real purpose to exist for!

@Samalik I guess that's true, but I feel like the same consumer freedom you're advocating for would mean someone can just... take keywords off they don't care about anymore? As long as none are instituted by default I don't see the problem with that, if someone specifically doesn't want Vampire Survivor-likes in a Bullet Hell search for example.

Like I probably support your view overall but if someone wants to filter racy games they should be able to no matter if they're "missing out" on fun games, just like people should be free to enjoy that content they should also be free to find it a turn-off (no pun intended).

@Suketoudara, there's only one reason that I wanted white actors for Link and Zelda: because they have white skin in the actual games, not because of politics. If they had any other skin color, it would kind of be jarring to me because I'm used to the specific look of the characters that I've loved for years. I'm not the kind of person who complains about that stuff on X (I don't even have an X account yet but will eventually for advertising my books), and honestly... all the people there complaining about stuff like that are kind of wasting their time, and I don't care in the slightest. Other people can waste their time however they like.
