@SmithJurd In Italy we say 'fico'. But it's something we took over from americans some decades ago. Now we are infected with a 'fico' in short intervals, because bad things generally tend to degenerate overtime.
Europeans can't be saved because culture is driven by money, and money (monetized culture) comes from US.
While I don't appreciate current english culture I'm not happy they get isolated or get annexed by americans (that eventually are even worse, completely subject of corporations), eventually we will be in time to hugs the scots, when they will leave the United Kingdom.

@SmithJurd "Cool!" it's a cheap subculture now popular that started from native english people, everything it's cool and you saw this from any video provided by english people. Now this infected almost every community around the world by mining young people that's easily influenced. In any country you now can find people saying cool or wow any x seconds. For any ****.

@SmithJurd Sure, in fact I talked about added value.

@xxAcesHighxx Every mediocre game nowadays can get excellent votes, that does not prove anything. Videogames critics aren't reliable.
It's not me to teach you, it's this game that offer you a weird taste that you confuse with genius.
And every indie nowadays follow the same route to cheat people.
"Hey look how wierd, and you can shoot and jump."
"Wow."
And the graphics is hand made with just last finger of my hand"
"Cool."
"Wow and cool" is the english mantra. I hope John William Waterhouse wasn't reacting in the same way back in time at things (decline?).

@SmithJurd Sure, opinions can change by playing, that's true.

Why graphics don't add value? If before it's ugly and after it's beautiful I would be more tempted to buy it, because of 'value'.
Anyway there are people that actually like uglyness, so maybe they value that but it's just a point of view. Generally beauty is more appreciated than uglyness.

@SmithJurd Isn't a 20 minutes gameplay video enough to make an idea out of a game? Should I waste my money on it to say it looks just as a decent game?
I have never said it needs cutting edge graphics to be good. I said graphics is always a good thing, and always add value to a game.

@SmithJurd Pleasant graphics it's ALWAYS a plus.
Then if a game is pure genius and has mediocre graphics it still deserves consideration, if it's just ugly in my opinion not since I'm an aesthete.

@xxAcesHighxx Well guy, I have played any type of game in the last thirty years. Especially brilliant games 'made in a garage' thanks to my old Amiga, but you see genius in any **** release. But this is going to do more harm to the market than the contrary. This isn't Captain Blood, it's a mediocre game (decent by todays standards) that you are going to 'send in heaven' like you have done to other **** like Isaac, etc.
You aren't doing any good to the gaming community.
It's not all about graphics, but substance here there is not.
Anyway be happy with your mediocrity. U.S.A. today just teach that to their population.
I'm happy with the indie scene if there is actual substance and quality, otherwise it's just Atari all over again (be happy with it, I'm not).

@SmithJurd I have purchased it, and I'm fine with it. With Zelda, Arms and Splatoon, that's it.
Variety of what. Same games are present on other consoles. Here they take the news because there are few games.
Indie games are fine. Shovel Knight is fine, this isn't anything that would satiate appetites, it's an hopefully decent game (probably mediocre) that will be overrated like any indie game.
And graphics wise is real poop.

@xxAcesHighxx What is an indie if not a third party game? Variety is good but there is something about 'perception'. And currently the Nintendo Switch is being perceived as a poopie indie supported console because these smartphone quality games gets the news instead of an even boring AA.

Re: Streets Of Rage And Etrian Odyssey Composer Isn't Sure Why The Switch Exists

Tetsuro

Taking my home games with me isn't innovation? Motion controls detacable from the console isn't innovation? But what are you talking about guys?
The Nintendo Switch is the perfect console. And they can't add power as they please since it's ALREADY fan-cooled as it is.
Be serious and understand hardware.
In 5 years there will be the Nintendo Switch 2 with more power, sink cooled and more battery time. And no one cares for 'other innovation than that', we already have wheels.
