My opinion is these are just so cheesy it's hard to watch. It's hard to believe a 90 billion dollar company would make presentations this poor. Feels like these were made in the 1990's. Zero energy. Super goofy.
Other than Metroid the games looked dated, boring and cheap. But I'm also sick of the word "cozy" so I might be the wrong person to ask
Releases are going to be soft and quiet for a while. They are trying to build max hype for S2 and will drop an array of exciting titles when it gets pushed out. imo.
As far as a different phrase... I honestly don't even know. I totally get it, I really do. I understand the concept. I also read it everywhere now. It used to just be 'gameplay,' now 'loop' always follows that for some reason. To me the term sounds like something we would hear in a meeting where creepy people were developing slot machines or those gambling machines seen at the local 7-11. It makes a game seem less like a journey or something to discover and more like a gimmick. Like it's trying to get a player stuck in an addicting grind (which we ultimately know is true but ignorance is bliss at least 😜). In the end I'm probably just an old curmudgeon that doesn't like change. I mean I'm still bitter that Mattel quit making the Intellivision and was sold to the dark side. Come on Atari, do the right thing! lol
Just this week i am playing my first ever Animal Crossing game (Horizons). I couldn't have ever imagined I would enjoy it as much as I am. What a cool experience.
I agree. It's my most despised thing about Nintendo right now. They make zero sense allowing all the trash and clutter. Won't let two adults have a chat feature to play Tetris but I can download nsfw anime child pic puzzles all day for .99¢...
Neither will be as accessible or easy to use as the Switch. They will be clunky, awkward and bloaty. That will be a turn off. They'll also cost twice as much and have like 5 different versions, making it confusing as to which one to buy.
Nintendo shouldn't be too worried. They DO need to clean up the eShop though. It's a slow moving train wreck.
@rvcolem1 Carrey ruins movies for me also. I couldn't make it through the first Sonic because of that. I was bummed. He's just the same person in every movie. I just find him annoying and and not funny at all. Fire Marshall Bill was funny....a long time ago.

Yeah, these "lists" post are a trainwreck of text and ads. Like 10 pages of endless scrolling. I usually just head straight to the comments.
Re: Review: Palia (Switch) - One Year On, Is This Life Sim Worth Playing?
I hate the term "gameplay loop." It just cheapens games in my opinion. I dunno why but ever since I first heard it it bugs me.
Also, game isn't too bad. I'm keeping it installed.
