Re: Nintendo's Direct "Dominated" E3 2021, Peaking At 3.1 Million Viewers

Good on Nintendo, that Metroid Dread/BOTW 2 announcement was most welcome. At least it wasn't a disaster like the Take-Two E3 conference where they revealed no games and it was just a bunch of out-of-touch boomers talking about "muh diversity and equity".

Wish Nintendo would've given a small spot for Fuga: Melodies of Steel though.

@Spiders
I rephrase. Their gameplay doesn't match the rest of their visual quality. The gameplay is mobile-tier and it really shows with their later Shantae games. A few of their games are hits (Double Dragon Neon, Contra 4) but most of their games are shovelware at worst and average at best. To think the Silent Hill game they made for PS Vita was a Diablo clone, that was beyond dumb.

@Teksetter Yeah, the licensing is a real pain to work around. It's a real nightmare outside Southeast Asia, it's a surprise SD Gundam Cross Rays is even available outside that region.
But the bigger sin is Bamco not releasing Gundam Breaker 3: Break Edition on PC/Switch (something to do with the middleware tools not being compatible or something). The game they decided to release in the West (New Gundam Breaker) was a real travesty of a GB game.
As far as LiS goes, the devs' first game was Remember Me. Got for free on PS+, couldn't push myself to finish it. Had nice art direction, environments, and music. Everything else from the main character, the gameplay, and the story were just lackluster at best. Game sold poorly and they went bankrupt ("judicial reorganization" as they called), came back and made LiS. I wouldn't call it a game, more like a Telltale series style game but without any action in it. And features alot of the same problems as Remember Me and, to some extent, the Twilight series. But that's just me, you might like it more than I did (I did not).

@Mynameishello
InifnityMiner is a Minecraft plug-in, not a game.
I assume you're referring to Infiniminer. Yeah, it did come before MC. However, there were no commercially-successful games based on IM before MC came out. Not even LEGO games are as commercially-successful as MC was. MC and IM are two completely different games. IM is only a mining game, whereas MC is more of a survival LEGO game with multiplayer. MC paved the way for other successful games that draw inspiration from it. Like Terraria, Space Engineers, Starbound etc.
Minecraft is a well-crafted, revolutionary game the world had not seen before and to think otherwise is contrarian.

@ok1 I wouldn't call my system beefy. Ryzen 3 3100 and RX580 are mid-range, 1080p is where it's best suited. Most servers tend to be performance-optimized.

@FlaviusFire I've looked at Minecraft RTX, the shaders that're available in Java do a great job without taxing the system much. SEUS and Vertigo look good, but there are many shaders available depending on which you like more.

I JUST HAD ONE CHANCE, I DON’T KNOW WHY
IT DOESN’T EVEN MATTER HOW HARD YOU CRY
KEEP THAT IN MIND I DESIGNED THIS GAME WITH COSTUMES IN MIND
THAT’S ALL I KNOW
GRAPHICS AND FRAMERATE ARE KEY
WATCH IT FLY BY AS THE SWITCH VERSION BLEEDS
WATCH THE CLOCK FLY TO THE END OF THE DAY
THE BATTERY TICKS AWAY
IT’S ON UNREAL?
SHOULD’VE LOOKED OUT BELOW
THREW RPGS RIGHT OUT THE WINDOW
TRYING TO HOLD ON, BET YOU DIDN’T EVEN KNOW
ABOUT THE SEIZURE INDUCING BOSS
I KEPT EVERYTHING INSIDE AND EVEN THOUGH I TRIED
IT ALL FELL APART
WHAT IT MEANT TO ME WILL EVENTUALLY
BE A MEMORY OF A TIME WHEN
I TRIED SO HARD TO BRING BACK NIGHTS
BUT IN THE END, IT’S JUST A S*** GAME
I TRIED TO RUN, BUT ONLY JUMPED
IN THE END, IT’S JUST A S*** GAME
