They should give up on mainline 3D, go HD-2D like Octopath.

@Classic603 I think people have died for saying things half as controversial as what you just said lmao

It's really upsetting, because Zelda toys are total ass. I have been trying them out for 20 years, maybe? Besides the sword, which is a costume item, they break so easily that they may as well not be called toys — they're display pieces or decorations.

@cowntsikin Really is a shame they dgaf about 3ds/2ds anymore. I probably put more hours into that thing than any other console I've ever owned. I get it, profits or whatever, but it never let me down.

@naxuu I've heard Metroid Maker, but the whole genre of Metroidvania and its namesakes would be...

I mean, Samus fighting vampires?
Dracula fighting Metroids?
Yes, please.

@Paraka I slogged thru some pretty bad comments, but I finally found someone willing to say what you said.

I know 7 people with PS5s. They were my Destiny 2 PC crew and I didn't convert to PS5 with them, due to price. They all said "but the exclusives and AAAs your PC won't run soon!"

Years on, they don't play any of those games and never really did. They all re-gifted eachother the same copy of Death Stranding as a birthday present as a joke, because none of them could stand to play it.

Tingle. Tingle, tingle, kooloo limpah.

@blindsquarel Look, I like taking potshots at news-starved niche outlets as much as the next commenter.

But you had to click this story in order to say that, and it wasn't exactly clickbait. So we can't blame anyone, here. That's all.

i'm gonna be a jerk and say screw basically all of these american studios.

to me, none of them are well-equipped to the task because the audiences of video games are not the audiences of movies, and these companies will never be able to grapple with that because movie audiences are always what they will care about — they are big budget companies with very little creative elbow room because of their audiences.

But, beyond just being video game stories, Nintendo's IPs are inherently foreign IPs. So, instead, let nintendo's budget fuel a truly creative, non-Hollywood studio, foreign studio like Cartoon Saloon (Song of the Sea). There are many others, both traditional animation and CGI companies, to turn to. Hollywood has screwed up these IPs enough.

@Cia If it's so easy, take a shot at it.

@Malakhim24 I'm gonna speak for others and just say that the "anti-woke" crowd has had years of being riled up about making something out of nothing, and now they find targets for their angst.

If it could be proven, beyond a doubt, to the passive observer that the characters aren't politically-driven, the anti-woke would not change their stance — just their rationale.

@turntSNACO The whole argument that it's pandering assumes the character designers and artists are equivalent with the management and executive types, who were largely the abusive and public image-minded ones. Do those people get final say in designs, etc? Sure, maybe, but that doesn't mean it was their idea.

@Greatluigi Phone req? You mean for Authenticator? It's only ever made me do that twice and I never get any aggravation otherwise. I play quite a few Blizz games and tbh I forgot it existed til you mentioned just now.

@AX-7 Blizzard? Screw something up 6 months in?? Never!

@blindsquarel about 70% of this comment section is overwhelming proof of your point.

@Maxz I kept watching purely to see what new horrors were available in every angle on a Goomba's face. It's like Doom and my shih tzu united for ultimate evil.

Headline writer, you win phrasing for today.

I'm sorry, Skyrim players who have performance issues.

@Nf157 OK, i do despise DA2. But I have often wondered what the Bioware world would look like if DA2 had been the first instead of Origins and if people would have embraced it with no point of comparison.

@PoorGeno They didn't "spill the company beans," necessarily, but what are you suggesting? That employees and contractors shouldn't say when a company is mistreating or taking advantage of employees? You are suggesting that is a dumb thing to do?

@Browny It kind of isn't odd. Unionization questions are much more common lately and there is nothing stating the meeting was public. Bowser's predecessor commented on unions during his tenure iirc, and definitely has after leaving.

What is far more odd is that the lawyers would take the time to say anything. If they hadn't, this would be on no one's radar.

My kid likes sonic, so the quality of the game is basically irrelevant. What have I become?

Not quite, has people on the porting side

Seems like he does the bulk tho

I hate how it's being used, but this reinforces my longheld desire that the game adds a Mayhem mode: Quick charging supers, infinite specials, more powerful gear, etc. Just total chaos.

I'm wondering what the overlap of being a YouTube reviewer a day publisher is.

Being good at having video game opinions seems to be low on the list of most publishers' qualities, tho, so I hope this is massively successful.

Honestly, I don't need another Smash game. We didn't ask who was going to make more Mozart when Mozart was dead. A collection, remasters, and that stuff is fine.

Now, games that bring IPs together, regardless of dev, publisher, or owner? Yes. Hell yes. Any genre.

@dustinprewitt Bayonetta 3? But everyone keeps saying the Queen is dead, who else could that be referring to? Is there someone else ppl would be upset about?

I can't wait to see the Nintendo NX

I get it, click bait ptsd hits me hard too

But you don't have to spread negativity onto a game over it, it's not the games fault and even if it is, it's okay to let people like stuff

@sanderev lmao your comment doesn't even make sense given what you're replying to, you may as well be trolling by ai

I mean in comparison of their gameplay trailers, or other similar things, but maybe it's my search results influenced by liking Splatoon and Pokemon, idk.

I am only confused about Splatoon 3 having what seems more media attention than a new Pokemon.

@Shambo I read this in the voice of Knuckles the Echidna.

@sanderev I personally don't know why anyone kept making fantasy video games after skyrim, it ended the genre when Todd Howard died for our sins

@koekiemonster They really advertised SS as if it's changes would matter, too. I can play without motion controls, sweet, but... they couldn't even add something fun to the completely empty sky?

@PokemonDMG with how erect you have to hold it, this thing looks hard enough on the wrist with just the one X!

Is this the nintendo NX...?

And that sky box is too often still better than a lot of games today. Limited, sure, but even in something as beautiful as, say, BotW, the sky is way too often distracting, to me at least.

@RupeeClock idk about Japan, but other nearby countries I've been to still use those OSes very often. Chinese schools, for instance, rely on them so heavily, especially Vista, that they paid Microsoft somewhere in the millions to keep supporting it for a few extra years.

Metroid show, starring John Cena as Admiral Dane.

did big cat pay you to write this

also, in Cat Quest II, there are plenty of dog puns — such as a village called Pound Town, which is incredible for (what ppl assume to be) a children's game

@marandahir and, with MW as a pretty good comparison again to show that these games were pretty decent, KotOR 1+2 really had some great animations for the time and genre.

I used to avoid this site bc its articles were kinda boring. Now it's a reliable laugh ever time.

@Dark_Isatari i was the same for a long time, but Elden Ring is worth sinning for lol

I get that nintendo doesn't have to care with their own titles, but this is a hardware issue. It's not about first party titles having online capability, but third parties suffering immensely by relying on basic assumptions like chat, etc, that aren't there when ported to nintendo. I have avoided games on Switch in favor of pc because I knew the online functionality was not just worse, but made it useless.

Twilight Princess did have a pretty good cast, but their diverse characters never really occurred to me until now. Besides Ganon, in previous entries... it is pretty white, I guess?

I like this site's writing style and increasingly open leaning more and more. This is pretty funny.

@TexanBanjo I like their non-mainline games. But yeah, the IPs that put them on the map have basically become experiments for Zenimax in how to make money with minimal effort.

Modding support or gtfooh. The game is basically fantasy Garry's Mod at this point, the game itself blows, but the community is one of the best.

I'd play a musou where you are actually just sweeping up garbage.

Idk why ppl complaining that 2 and 3 are "the same game." Its still a shooter, a damn good one. Shooters iterate very narrowly compared to other genres/mediums, which isnt necessarily a bad thing?
