5 billion different solutions to the same 3 types of problems.
I was excited for the possibilities of building stuff until I realized that each one was intended to last 5 minutes max.
And yeah the general story, structure, dungeons, puzzles, progression etc really suffered for it

I had fun with totk but yeah its philosophy is limiting its potential imo. "absolute freedom at all costs" + game designed so you keep doing the next piece of bite-sized content over and over.

After "film trilogy that dropped a critical plot point exclusively via timed Fortnite event" and "video game series whose story only makes sense if you're aware of the events of a canon pachinko machine", I feel like there are whole frontiers of user-hostile narrative design waiting to be explored.

I agree that it's more volatile than HK, in the sense that you're swinging between between "I've got this" and "I'm basically dead" much faster. I guess whether that's good or not depends from person to person. In my case, I like when I manage a heal at 1 hp and breathe a big sigh of relief

I don't really feel like that was true for me? In HK, the main issue with healing is finding a good opportunity. If your health is low it's very hard to get back up, healing is dangerous, and point by point. In silksong, healing is safe, once you have the silk, you're back into the fight immediately

I feel like back then (~2010) there were two clear categories of games with a stark difference in terms of budget, aesthetics, and audience. Nowadays the lines are much blurrier on all of these axes. We probably need new, more descriptive vocabulary.

Black protag = usually won't be considered for a real award, but they want to get points so game is relegated to "impact" awards.
Amazing seeing what was jammed into that category.

South of Midnight is only in "Games for Impact" whatever that means at this point. Truly one of the best OSTs this year, and if you don't plan on playing, I recommend you check it out anyway.

This is bullshit.
"absolutely no genAI in games" is the middle ground.
"how many years in jail should Sam Altman get for knowingly stealing all data ever" is the somewhat more extreme stance I personally adopt.

"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.
