@UltimateOtaku91 I love this site but the influential bias on here is wrong. Especially how potent they can b by just reviews. Give a game 6//10 and you'll get comments like "bummer I guess I'll skip this one". I hope their review of Zelda Echoes is very critical, but likely won't.
Popular sites like this can supress the success of any game they want. They can choose who wins. Plucky Squire (looking forward to this game btw, it looks just like a Zelda game I would buy) is an example. This is really the only site that talks about that indie game consistently in comparison to other indies and even use it's art in their article thumbnails often. Their huge fans of James Turner and he's Brit so, boom.
I love Palworld and Foam isn't even that bad. I love Splatoon but the Splat community is just toxic and simpy sometimes. Any criticism of Splat 3 and they'll eat u up. When Foam was announced, they lost their minds.
@Lightsiyd Agreed. I recently started playing Foamstars on PS5 due to all the toxic gatekeeper attitude from Splatoon fans, saying it's a clone and being unoriginal and u know what? I really liked it! The maps, the characters, and style. A nice break away from the small kiddie look Splatoon characters have. My friends and I have been playing FS almost everyday. There are a few things Splatoon could learn from it.
Seeing games challenge Nintendo's royal throne is nice once in a while.
@Lone_Beagle not sure but early previews have said it dips a lot and that the game is good but not a 10/10 game. Not too sure if it's 30 or 60. I hope it's 60. 30 with dips would suck.
My only criticisms so far is complaints about framerate and that the look and style is not new. I loved LA Switch but I don't want to see that toy style used again.
@RygelXVIII Ik. Ai it will just make it easier for them. Don't kids today make prompts of pics and videos now? Every upload of anything feeds the ai machines. Every dev u know is likely experimenting with ai to put out products faster. What sucks is that they're not transparent about that. No AAA dev has put out any statements about being against it unfortunately. I hope I'm wrong.
Eventually a very literate kid can just type in a game they want without any coding exp. I don't support ai but that's what kids and teens are growing up on now. What's happening now is no different than the anti-calculator era in the 60s. Trad artists today still despise digital art too.
THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS! I would hug this article if I could!
We have too many forgettable Mons, and to see each one have multiple SUBSPECIES should be the future of the franchise! Tentacool to Toedscool was a great example and currently my fave! There are enough monsters to keep making variants!
Even popular ones like Charizard, would be cool to see have a downgraded variant without wings to match it's environment. I always imagined a water type Charizard as a kid (Hydrozard).
This would be such a fresh take and would make me excited about Pokemon games again!
Kinda scammy to buy a game full price, NSO, and DLC, then have all the special events and service to just end in 2 yrs. Splatoon really needs to take the Warframe model route in the future. Don't turn this franchise into COD with Nintendo exploiting it's fans.
I'm surprised how early this review was. There's not much content released on it rn. I spent $0 and just grinded since launch.
I've played the old Japanese mobile and the exclusive 3DS game. Its really good over time. It gets easier the more you play guys, just a lot of waiting.
@Medic_alert With any review, I just know reviewers never play the game long enough. With a constant barrage of games releasing, I just believe reviewers play as fast as possible to move on to the next game review.

Re: Does Astro Bot's Super Mario 'Inspiration' Cross A Line? Fans Seem Divided
@EarthboundBenjy No one is really divided on this, the hate is small. NL has a lot influence and power to change narratives.

Re: Does Astro Bot's Super Mario 'Inspiration' Cross A Line? Fans Seem Divided
NL please don't inspire gatekeeping. We get it, u hate clones and everything has to be "metroid"vania. This game is great!

Re: New AI Model Can Recreate Super Mario Bros. Footage, But It's Full Of Glitches
Mainstream AI is still young. Imagine 5 years from now, when kids.."KIDS!" can make their own games! with prompts.
WTF!
