@P0WDr_@P4rtyH4ts@arxsmusic Because he's a fictional comic book character and it's cool to have him make his own webs to show how much of a genius he is. If we're gonna split hairs this much I guess it doesn't make sense for him to shoot webs out of his wrists instead of his ass like a real spider either.
@P4rtyH4ts@arxsmusic He literally got his powers directly from a spider, what kind of complaint is this lol if you got infected by a radioactive frog and got high jumping powers you wouldn't start calling yourself Kangaroo Man, you'd be fucking Frog Man.
@WhateverWh59201@The_Infii@JunoNoxAstra@polishedsteeltb@JakeSucky Wow it's almost like making a list this long of games that flopped this badly is literally only possible with western AAA games because eastern devs don't throw billions at projects for no reason and then have to fire half of their entire staff afterwards shocked Pikachu face
@Yoshiware2 I genuinely cannot understand how people praise SwShs art direction. Like this isn't a game going for a distinct style in spite of weaker hardware, outside of character models it just looks objectively bad and cheap. This is literally the starting area they were talking about.
@JavaidUsama@Buster4567doggo@larrancitaber Not saying that isn't overpriced, but those have expansions added onto the base game. How are you gonna accuse them of being blatantly dishonest then respond with this lol. Both of those launched at $60 and you can very easily find them for under $50. Mario Kart IS the only $80.
@TheDanMan051@LoriLovesStars@GaidenSucks@NoctisAozaki Discourse surrounding new direction isn't coming from nowhere which is the point I was trying to make. I don't even dislike this style but it's objectively a huge shift. I don't understand why this is controversial. I woke up to 100+ dm spam msgs telling me to kms over this lol
@Tolvir475803@NoctisAozaki I never said FE didn't follows the dominant JP style of the time (especially apparent with earlier games) I don't see how this disapproves my point, at all lol. That's like exactly what I was saying.
@Sebbywebz@Hogbeast89 If you exclude Pokémon, FF7 Remake is literally the third best selling JRPG of the past decade. Persona 5 and Nier Automata are the only modern JRPGs that have cracked 10 million. Rebirth is at 5 million now. Those sales numbers are perfectly fine lol.
@MikeMorneweck@puppycelebrity@ShitpostRock Explain to me precisely how that makes Insomniac a conservative studio or that this is somehow the fault of conservatives lol. Or are we willing to admit stuff like this is actually the fault of performative leftists trying to preach to everyone?
@puppycelebrity@ShitpostRock Spider-Man 2 forced you to graffiti all over NYC as a disabled black girl, made Peter Parker's ex girlfriend a lesbian and had a mission where you play matchmaker for 2 gay dudes to unlock a Puerto Rico suit. Why are we pretending Insomniac is a conservative studio lol
@Emilk010 OOT and MM are completely different structurally, BOTW and TOTK are not. It's more like putting OaA at the top and OaS at the bottom, which is equally as dumb. If you love BOTWs mechanics, visuals, music, atmosphere, structure, etc, literally why would you rank TOTK at the bottom
@momiji_doa Xenoblade 3 still has jiggle physics, bath scenes, sexy characters, cat girls etc. It just isn't as over-the-top with fan service as 2 was. Xeno 2 is literally the only game in the series that's like that. It makes absolutely no sense to say the games "lost their identity" with 3
@Zheshka_@veldtform An ACTUAL genre comparison to metroidvania would be hack n slash or soulslikes. There's a lot of them but a small subset of "notable" ones actually breach the mainstream and end up on must play lists. A troidvania diehard dropping SM is the equivalent to a soulshead dropping DS1.
@Zheshka_@veldtform Most of the "genres" you're listing are gameplay flourishes of larger genres rather than actual genres themselves lol. "Stylish movement shooter" is subjective and barely defined. Everyone can define what a metroidvania is. Except you apparently because Cave Story isn't even one.
