Yeah, I did think that CP77 would be the straw for the industry but if anything overpromised, overhyped, disasters seem to be dropping with ever increasing frequency. I think as a customer base we've been burned enough that we should be sceptical of all marketing and even review cycles, but it is so easy to get swept up in the buzz. I am guilty of it even though I know I should know better.
This is all very confusing, I regularly read in this thread BOTW was the worst Zelda game ever made but now as it's the greatest Zelda game ever made the sequel won’t live up to the hype.
If it isn't the best/worst, or superior/inferior to something else, it's just not that exciting to read. I won't be satisfied until all my games are thrown into superfluous gladitorial combat!
My honest opinion about most games I play is "yeah it was okay", with like 5% of them I could talk about for days.

Give me a heads-up if you're going to send a request please.
@Losermagnet A game I could talk about for days? I'll do you one better with a game I have not been able to stop thinking about since I first played it last year:
Mario Maker 2 Maker ID: YT1-0Q2-YFF
Please ask for permission before using my FC!

Shouldn't we be making the people arguing about the same game being the best/worst ever fight in superfluous gladiatorial combat to see who is right though? I can't really trust the views of someone unless I know they are able to physically smash their opinions into someone else's face but that's just me.
I feel like "it was okay" about the majority of games I get in a sale. I will stock pile a bunch of digital games when they are on sale and wont play them til 6 months later and then spend 2-3 hours and think it's a perfectly okay game which I like but don't love. Very rarely has it ever been that game I got cheap was actually remarkable and I will heart it forever. I'm not sure if it's because the games I do buy day one at full price is because I'm looking forward to them so I build hype on release day or it's just I'm making sure everything I am willing to buy day one is down to my exact taste whilst the cheap games are the ones I don't expect to love anyway.
I mean, I guess the few people who really boosted BotW to insane levels of hype as the greatest game that was or will ever be made were a little full of it, yeah, but so are the folks who act like it wasn't an industry-shaking release and say that it did nothing new or innovative in the open world space. BotW is (aside from a few tired elements it borrows from other games, like those Ubisoft-y towers that unlock parts of the map) an almost completely re-contextualized approach to modern open world game design, with a respect for and consideration of player agency at the center of the experience. In that regard, five years on, the experience is without equal. One doesn't have to like this shift in focus, and the game mechanics that go along with it, but it's a revered release for a reason. And that's not simply because it has the word "Zelda" in the name.
Barbie games should be revived on modern consoles and the games should be handled by competent developers. Modern consoles still lack of Barbie games and Barbie like games.
@jump yeah! Maybe they haven't been arguing but, then again, maybe they have (I dunno, I'm not their mum) so I nominate @roy130390 and @Anti-Matter for the first round of gladitorial combat. Anti loves kickboxing so he may have the edge but roy plays Dark Souls so he knows how to dodge roll and manage his stamina. Should be good. Winner gets this copy of Castlevania I found:
(This is a joke, sorry to all those involved, please dont punish me. Kisses 😗)
@Losermagnet I dunno, Anti likes kickboxing for ahem...other reasons so my money is on Roy.
That's quite the prize! It must be a super rare copy of Castlevania as the normal edition had just one NDS boarder on it so because it has 3 boarders it must be worth 3 times the price!
@jump but he does play DDR so he's prolly at peak conditioning. My heart says roy but my head says anti.
After their deathmatch how about you and I team up against @NintendoByNature and @bimmy-lee for a good ol' tag match? I've gotta warn you though - I have asthma, gout, explosive dysphagia, and shin boners so you'll have to do most of the work. One cool move I can do is a spinning lariat a la Zangief or Haggar, but I get really dizzy afterwords and have to lie down.
@Fizza yeah I have a pretty good feeling that it's a great Castlevania. At least I think it's Castlevania...i'm not wearing my Bifocals. (Btw, I'm just messing about Ace Attorney - it's one of my favorite series 😉)

@Losermagnet I don't believe you have got gout "the disease of kings", I'm pretty sure only kings have that and you're just making it up to impress people. If I can't trust you to tell the truth then I can't trust to perform a combo tag finisher with me. It's a shame as I'd imagine we would have won that fight.
@Fizza i couldnt help myself lol. Had to commit to the bit. Ace Attorney has some of my favorite characters. Wright, Egdeworth, Godot....and most of the witness' and culprits are great too (my faves are Mr. Redwhite and Furio Tigre, where nobody can tell the difference between him and Pheonix 😂)
@Zuljaras i appreciate your willingness for animal sacrifice - it shows dedication. You're next in line to be my tag partner since it sounds like jump is my new arch nemesis. As for Castlevania - I require a picture of Fat Sonic in Castlevania cosplay.
@jump you sound just like my doctor. Okay, fine....it isnt gout. It's colic, the "disease of cranky babies". Losermagnet's secret shame.
@Xyphon22 yea but X Is a spin off, completely unrelated from 1, 2, and 3 other then similar gameplay and nopon.
I play lots of Nintendo games, and Playstation games too. Mostly platformers, and rpg's. Also love playing multiplayer games with my friends!

@Solaine I have to agree that open world games aren't exactly better. There are lots of different types of games and that's great but I agree that not everything has to be open world or that open world games are objectively better than every other type of game.
