More RPG representation is obviously good but I don't get why people act surprised when they don't pay for the rights just to have Geno play tennis

Isn't there that weird MMO that they tested like a year or two ago? I guess that's probably their next attempt, if it even still exists.

Regardless of how you use them or how small they are, they're still two controllers and two batteries, sets of sensors, etc. I feel like the price being on the higher end is almost unavoidable.
Probably more justifiable than even more for a rubberised Xbox controller that doesn't even have gyro lol

Easily the best feeling Nintendo controller imo. It doesn't look like much changed since the original, but it feels a lot more comfortable and modern once you get to hold it. The only real concern I have is the lack of hall-effect sticks, but the new smooth sticks are probably the next best thing.

It’s alright. I have a hard time forgiving it for the absolute parasite it was on 2010s retro culture, but given the limitations it was designed with they did a good job.
It’s a weird looking sprite in some ways but I honestly don’t know how to vastly improve it if that makes sense.

I like how this implies fire breathing is harmful to Bowser similar to smoking even though he’s anatomically adapted to do so lol

I feel like you kinda answered your own question lol, if guns did more damage then there would be less of a reason to use melee options. It's just one of those gaming affordances I guess.

So glad I broke my years-long Fortnite embargo at the time I did with the Simpsons season, so the HP update can offer me a peaceful and dignified return to staying the fuck away for another seven years.

Counter argument: Games that use generative A.I. for “artwork” should owe me money for pirating them.

The ""modern"" Sonic model is believed to be 20 years old at this point, its first appearance was in Shadow the Hedgehog promo material to my knowledge.
It should've been replaced a decade ago but I doubt they'll do anything given hardcore Sonic fans are afraid of change.

I think it mainly boils down to 3D models being cheaper. You can just reuse models instead of creating new art and replicating a style. It was also super easy to justify in the 2000s and 2010s since it had an illusion of technological progress to it so nobody minded at the time.

Indie games are doing so well BECAUSE the rest of the industry is collapsing imo. When so many AAA games are overpriced and over budget with diminishing payoff, the smaller, more rationally designed games for way cheaper will just look more appealing by comparison
