I hope they continue making legends games in the future because if they combine the most popular elements from both games, I think it'll genuinely be an amazing game, even if the windows are flat textures

I'm kinda bummed because I don't disagree that PLA's map looks more fun to navigate but the battle system in ZA is SO FUN. it makes me feel bored playing TS battles that's how fun it is.

I've been saying the games should've been $40 since swsh like I get it but at this point that can't be your comparison because all Nintendo games are $60-$80 unfortunately. All big releases are. Fucking survive was.

"this is a $40 game maximum" bestie I hear you but I don't think it's fair to say that anymore and furthermore I don't think background graphics and map scale are the only defining factors for a game's price personally

A lot of people don't particularly enjoy vertical exploration and climbing in video games, especially when you never get a flying mount. And I think that's a fair opinion to have, like genuinely I think having my lizard back would improve everything, but still

I didn't find a noibat btw and I think that is a valid criticism against the game.

Also I can reach the alpha Dratini but not the regular one because they hate me

Idk maybe spending 6+ hours looking for a noibat fixed me cuz I feel like I can recognize things well enough and I am normally the guy who gets lost severely (cough time stranger Tokyo cough)

It's just hard because like yeah, I adore the set design in time stranger's digital world way more. But also if the window textures were flat there I wouldn't even notice so idk why that's a problem for so many people 💀

"the city is small and looks all the same and they don't let you out of the city it's so dumb" I mean that's an okay opinion to have but you... You did watch the trailers that told you that's exactly what you were getting, right?

🐉 Stormy / Cloud 🐍 @haruujin.bsky.social · 4h

While I think it's totally valid to not want to play the game and thus not particularly like it if this is you, I do feel like even some of the otherwise fair criticisms of ZA are basically just

true, but im pretty sure you're the one who needs to hear that, not us. the only reason ZA's graphics look simplistic to you is because they arent hyperdetailed textures like in a lot of ps2 games. ps2 games do a lot with textures, that's not a bad thing, but thats not "higher quality"

The face melting tragedy of this all is Warner Bros just had its first great record breaking year in a long time with big risks like Sinners, Weapons, and One Battle After Another… And the result is to try and sell it off? It’d be so nice if people who owned companies that made movies loved movies.

the AT&T-->Time Warner-->Discovery series of media mergers were some of the most pointless and disastrous business exercises ever conceived by man

so of course we're going to do it again

this time it's rumored they want $60 billion to sell this mess to Larry Ellison and whatever's left of CBS

Warner Bros. Discovery puts itself up for sale

The announcement comes after WBD previously said it would split in two.

If you ever have an idea for a TV show or movie, make a comic or book first so YOU own the original rights.

Then, if one of these companies wants to adapt it, sure! but they'll only own their version of it.

Don't let your work get caught up inside some billionaire version of Hungry Hungry Hippos.
