erm, I thought the N.Sane Trilogy was a gee-darn masterpiece. It's Crash 4 that needed another year or two in the oven. (and not try to erase og Tawna).
@nessisonett Completely agree. Obviously in this translation "product" does not carry the same connotation. I think what they mean is that Miyamoto wants game devs to please the audience more than themselves. Not that games should be soulless cash-grabs, as the phrase "as a product" implies here ^_^
That's really terrible. I will never support companies that show so little care for the quality of their products.
Also, can we stop trying to make Bluesky happen? It's just trading one biased cesspool for a less-popular biased cesspool. When a truly inclusive and moderate competitor to TwiXter emerges, we can all flock there, but forcing Bluesky when so few of us can properly access the site seems kind of obstinate.
Tame? Also yes. The girl on the right clearly thought it was hilarious.
Still, losing the sponsorship is probably the right course of action. Especially if he has a history of problems with alcohol, maybe he needs a wake up call before it's too late.
I only buy physical. In fact, I consider "digital purchase" kind of an oxymoron. If many of you are happy paying full or near-full prices for game license rentals, that's totally fine. But let the rest of us voice what we want too.
I am LOVING MK World! The only thing I don't like is blending the tracks together within a cup. It's kind of clever, but it makes the tracks feel less distinct.
Possible hot take: assuming they will do DLC for the game, I hope they never include mirror mode nor 200CC. I never like either of those. I also hope we never get more than double the current courses. My only issue with MK8D was there were SO many courses I couldn't get good at them all without quitting my job. It was too much. I like the manageable 8 cups and I hope we never get more than 16.
I'll be getting this game regardless, but I'm still hoping for Cyclops, Daredevil, Moon Knight.... maybe Julia Carpenter Spider-Woman... ... Darkhawk?? lol. Lots of other great choices I'd love to see!
Inspiring people to do what is right, and brings people together, instead of driving them apart in a way that merely feels good, is what we need more of today.
as long as there is finally reasonable draw-distance/pop-in, this is my #1 reason for getting a Switch 2. I don't care if that's lame, it's the truth ^_^
OK, but the art on the left looks like a charming, endeering, and emotional journey. The art on the right looks like corporate board-room, shovelware crap.
You can't call it Hot Girl Walk and then say its meaning is something entirely different. If I go for a "Giga Chad Alpha Bro That All the Ladies Want Walk" but I say it's about inner wellness or some ish, that's not gonna fly.
I don't know what the overall sales numbers are for say, GTA5 and MK8D, but I'm guessing both games are among the most popular of the last 2 generations. So, like, is this really the fight he wants to pick??

Re: Metal Gear Solid Fans Should Keep One Eye On The Retro-Flavoured 'Spy Drops'
Looks pretty good. I'll keep an eye on it. I love the idea and the character design. The intentional PS1-era graphics is ... a choice. But I get it.

Re: Smash Bros. Pro Loses 11-Year Sponsorship After "Inappropriate Conduct" At Mario Kart World Tournament
If you watch the video it's quite tame.
Gross? Yes. Inappropriate? Yes. Stupid? Yes. Juvenile? Yes.
Tame? Also yes. The girl on the right clearly thought it was hilarious.
Still, losing the sponsorship is probably the right course of action. Especially if he has a history of problems with alcohol, maybe he needs a wake up call before it's too late.

Re: Video: Super Mario Odyssey Shines On Switch 2 In This Side-By-Side Graphics Comparison

Re: Mario Kart World Doesn't Include A 200cc Difficulty Mode
1. I'm sure 200cc will come in a later DLC.
2. I really did not like 200c. It was way too fast and that took the fun out of the game, imho.

Re: Nintendo Defends Switch 2's Perceived Lack Of Innovation
Innovate when things are stale/bad, iterate when they are still fresh/good. Switch 1 is still going strong. Iterating is the right move.
