Night and day. With the Wii U, I just wasn’t impressed with the concept at all. Launch games were soooo boring. Switch gave me an instant “i need this” reaction.
I think the restrictions that make AC what it is, ultimately hold it back from being a better game. I get the formula is sacred for a lot of people, but at its core, it’s still that game from 20 years ago. I liked new horizons a lot, but I can’t do this again. They need to open it up more speed up so many of the processes
@Giancarlothomaz not too late at all. It would be huge. A new Mario concept hasn’t launched w a console since Mario 64. Judging by sales and the fact that mk9 is in tdevelopment, that would be a very likely launch game.
@Cia not photorealistIc, but better art design and more time in the oven. And fwiw the Simpsons at one point we’re animated very well, and lived in a detailed, thought out world. So not a great example
Hmmmm…I’m tempted, but I won’t be burned again. The last like 4 Pokémon games have been so bland and flavorless, I’m gonna need to wait this one out and let the hype dust settle
@Ventilator ok she is not a rando off the street who applied at mcdonalds tho. She was already established. Bayonetta is platinums biggest franchise hands down, and she is effectively the face of it, by virtue of what she brings to the character. It makes millions and millions of dollars. She’s even in smash, that’s how big bayonetta is. To offer her the absolute bare minimum for what will most likely be the biggest game in the series is frankly stunning.
And I get u wanna defend these big companies(like above where u defend cdpr), because you don’t want to be criticized online for it, but it is what it is.
@Ventilator this is one of the most ridiculous points of view I’ve ever seen. I work in animation, games, and marketing. I see this stuff happen every week. These industries are extremely predatory and exploitive. Platinum’s side of the story would have to be so explosive, so irrefutably damning to her character to convince me and others they are acting in good faith.
@Ventilator when has an accuser of anything ever shared both sides of a story? Doesn’t work that way. You are definitely standing w platinum by aggressively dismissing her claims.
@Pikki Actually, you wouldn’t be. They’ve been paid for their work, and a relatively small number of people boycotting would have virtually no impact on their careers as developers. Your conscience is clear on that front.
Not really a fan of platinum already, but this is not surprising and extremely disappointing. What a disgrace. Ultimately the average gamer doesn’t care, especially when it’s a woman, but this is just another reason platinum is trash
Will be a fine kids movie, probably better than most. I just really can’t stand chris Pratt, can’t shake it. The fact that he’s a religious tyrant, an emotionally controlling and abusive partner in his personal life destroys any shred of likability imo. Also the voice is just basic idk. OTHERWISE it is extremely gorgeous, and I’ll prob watch it eventually
O and jack black? Fantastic. If he was the voice in-game I wouldn’t be mad about it

Re: Talking Point: Which Scary Video Game Moments Gave You Nightmares As A Kid?
Never. Nothing in video games was genuinely scary to me. Majoras mask is thoroughly creepy, but I was more curious and interested than scared

Re: Talking Point: Would You Prefer 'Super Mario Odyssey 2' Or A Totally New 3D Mario?

Re: Talking Point: Given The Voice Artist Controversy, Will You Be Boycotting Bayonetta 3?

Re: Talking Point: Given The Voice Artist Controversy, Will You Be Boycotting Bayonetta 3?
@Gelantious vast majority of users here are conservative or "must buy game at all costs no matter what" consumers. It's always this way on this site
Re: Talking Point: Given The Voice Artist Controversy, Will You Be Boycotting Bayonetta 3?
Already think Platinum and bayo are cringe so this is an easy pass.
Re: Bayonetta's OG Voice Actor Asks Fans To "Boycott" Third Game After PlatinumGames Wage Fallout
@Tober that’s fair. bayonetta came way before tho. When you think platinum, you think bayonetta.
Re: Bayonetta's OG Voice Actor Asks Fans To "Boycott" Third Game After PlatinumGames Wage Fallout
@Ventilator yea you have zero idea what you’re talking about. You are a generic “consoom brand at all costs” gamer with no principles. Enjoy the game.
Re: Bayonetta's OG Voice Actor Asks Fans To "Boycott" Third Game After PlatinumGames Wage Fallout
