    I agree with MVG, Tomba! is a really good game it's one of those games from my childhood that, along with the sequel, I've played over and over again tons of times and never got bored of. The remastered version of the soundtrack is fantastic, especially with Baccus Village. It just slaps. I'm really looking forward to the sequel coming out next year, and maybe that will also have a remastered soundtrack with not only the NTSC version, but maybe the Japanese version as well.

    Bungie is definitely the worst gaming acquisition of the past 5 years. They were overpriced. They’re a reason why Factions 2 got cancelled and Concord got the green light. They’re burning money obviously because of the layoffs. They bought Bungie when their reputation was at their lowest especially now that they fired so many veteran devs. Sony should’ve bought anyone else but Bungie. RIP to the great Bungie of 2001-2010.

    I’m sorry, I love your opinions and stances on games and gaming news, but I think if there’s one thing you all probably have problem to understand is the available gaming time for regular persons, not someone that works in the industry or is a RUclipsr for games. You all have a lot of time to play games, but for a regular person, with a 9-5 job, with friends and family, yes, having too much games to play is a real problem.
    I don’t know if Avowed is really delayed for the reason Microsoft said, but personally, I’m glad they are postponing the release. With Flight Simulator, Indy, Stalkers 2, Towerbone, etc my gaming time is already full, and that doesn’t include Switch and PS5 games coming out also.

I think it's not unreasonable to assume that Microsoft didn't want to cannibalise their own output. Nintendo does this all the time, you just never hear about it publicly because their release dates are announced rather late. In any case, a delayed Obsidian game is never a bad thing anyway.

    Responding to MVG about Avowed being postponed due to overcrowding. I don’t think we’ve ever seen this before because no company has owned this many studios before. Microsoft/Xbox has a bunch a studios and many of them are reasons games. They don’t want to cannibalize their sales like Square has been doing with their games releasing too many too close each other.

Maybe I'm too dumb and manipulative, because I don't care about nerdy lore stuff like click does and i don't get why the story is bad in TotK..but there are like 3-4 sequencees in TotK that burned in my head and blew me away like no other zelda game. botws story is told in one sentence xD

    • @ShallBePurified
      @ShallBePurified 2 месяца назад

      Reasons why TotK's story is bad:
      1. Structure. It's a linear story told from Zelda's perspective. Zelda is the narrative focus and the main character of the story. However, we only see the story in flashbacks, where Link, us, have no influence or connection to. The story in the past has zero influence on what happens in the present, because it already happened. Which is actually opposite of how time travel used to work in OoT and MM where time travel is central to the story and going to the past affects the present. This memory structure makes the player disconnected from the story.
      2. Pacing. While the story happened in the past, literally nothing interesting happens in the present. We get strange weather patterns in the main 4 regions, and that's it. Beating the 4 temples give you the exact same cutscene 4 times, which are just worse versions of Mineru's cutscene when you beat the 5th dungeon. Seeing a memory changes nothing in the present day story, nothing happens in the present day story, getting repeated cutscenes of the same thing by doing present day story stuff, and you get bad pacing.
      3. Lack of consistency with BotW. Not even talking about lore stuff. This is a sequel, so why are there so many things that feel inconsistent as a sequel? Why do people in Hateno not know Link who lived there for 6 years with Zelda and is always traveling with Zelda? People give the excuse that people don't always remember everyone they meet, but they sure as hell remember Zelda. But not the guy she lives with that's always next to her? I don't buy it. It reeks of "we don't want to alienate first time players" game design. It does not harm the game to have these connections. Hell, having these connections would get people interested to know what happened in the last game to learn the context. And this is only one example. Sheikah tech vanishing and no one giving a shit, why is there a Tarrey Town abandoned mine in the Depths when the town didn't exist until Link helped build it. Why is there literally nothing in the Sky Islands? Zonai also makes no sense. Zonai in BotW were hinted as a warrior tribe that lived in Faron, but that's inconsistent with how they are portrayed in TotK. It's like they took a fan idea and then ran with it without knowing why fans were crazy about the Zonai. They just make Sheikah 2.0.
      4. Lost potential. Speaking of Zonai, what exactly do we learn about them? There are only 2 left because the rest of them left, and they have secret stones. That's it. They could've had so much more. Maybe have a lost civilization in the sky or in the depths where people share stories of Zonai in the past. Maybe Rauru could've been a companion that can pop up when you discover a landmark of interest in his past and you learn about it from him. We get nothing. The only thing we can learn from the past are fragmented memories.
      5. Overall message of the game. Stories that stick with me had a message to tell, a lesson to learn, a theme that sticks with me. OoT is a story about having to grow up and face the evils of the world, robbing us of our childhood innocence. MM is about coming to terms with death or our own mortality. WW is about letting go of the past and finding our own future. SS is about finding the strength to protect your loved ones and parting ways when the journey is over. What does TotK teach us? That sacrificing yourself will work out because you will just come back? I got nothing. I didn't feel any profound impact at the end. I was just like, that's cool, we saved Zelda. And then got pissed off that they didn't learn any lessons. Zelda losing 2 sets of parents? Yeah let's not talk about it. She's fine.

    To reflect others possibly, the game’s outward appearing success is an illusion. Part of this is at fault of players who made demands and Bungie bent the knee to meet player demands but it came with compromises. So the destiny 2 experience wasn’t a runaway success. I’m not sure if they’ve solved a lot of the issues they experience or not but they constantly had to delay events due to bugs, they’ve taken lots of content away with this promise of rotating it which hasn’t happened yet either. People were just obsessed and still spending money that’s the trap these games are so Sony got manipulated by a bunch of gamers that just don’t know how to put a controller down.
    They bought bungie to help with their own game ideas for live service and that’s crash and burned for Sony. So they really have no business owning bungie at this point.
    The way that news release read as well as there’s some cancelled projects it seems like they are focusing on marathon and destiny 2 and that may be it.

    Lmao, I finished BOTW and TOTK and will never touch either ever again. Boring games tbh.. Decent set piece moments within the games, but hardly masterpieces.
    Baldurs Gate 3 trumped TOTK simply because it really changed RPGs as we know it. As a CRPG, the scope and reactivity of the world, there has not been a game with so many branching choices that actually change the world you explore.
    The things you do, and even your race and class follows you throughout, nothing is ever obsolete. They literally leave ripples through the story and can lock you out of various content, while opening up new content for you to explore. Yes, gameplay wise you can argue that we have seen the same formula before, but in terms of interactivity and storytelling in an RPG (or any game genre), I have never played a more impactful game before.
    The different choices in narrative dialogue alone gives the game ample replay-ability.

      It’s a shame you didn’t like either game. However, it’s important to at least acknowledge that BOTW is widely recognised as a groundbreaking game which the whole panel reiterated.
      GoTY on release. 94 on metacritic.
      In 2021 , 5 years after release, it was voted by the public as greatest game of all time for a national Japanese channel in one of the largest votes of its kind. GQ magazine also voted its greatest game of all time by interviewing over 200 international games journalists.
      Games afterward have been called BoTW clones or inspired by BoTW. Developers were astounded by the physics system in both games and also how they managed it on such ancient hardware. Players were impressed by the freedom and ingenuity of the environment.
      By all the subjective and official measures we have BoTW is a masterpiece, and it’s important to at least note its impact in the industry. ToTK is a sequel and is also a fantastic game. I can’t change your mind, but, I’d say simply with fusing and time rewind, along with the freedom to interact with the environment in unique ways makes it a masterpiece. But the ending dungeon and last boss is also something special. It was awarded GoTY awards by a number of publications, too, although not as many as BoTW and BG3.
      BG3 is a completely different genre and although it released in an unfinished state with thousands of bugs(my personal gripe, admittedly, after realising that Karlack only had 3 failed state endings and none of promised epilogues etc) has also earned its place undeniably as a masterpiece, too, for the reasons you mentioned.
      Sometimes, you are just simply a minority who didn’t like a great game. It sucks, but it happens to all of us.

Guerilla are one of the worst studios on Earth and Horizon Zero Dawn was a fluke. Gaming is terrible right now.
