2025 is the year of games where you have a mandatory sidekick that tells you when theres a glowing object in front of you to pick up and you cant tell them to shut up
i was thinking to myself "man nintendo's really going all out on desperately trying to have a conversation with the rare player who has 0 internal monologue" and then realized that we're getting a text to speech gremlin in the new rhythm heaven
Worked for me in monster hunter world. Never could understand why everyone hated the handler so much. I do still agree with other posters it’d work better with a girl.
It would be extremely funny if this is the one part of the game that was clearly built in like 2017 and had to keep it due to resource sunk costs. And then everything else reflects post-Metroid Dread success.
I’m getting so pissed off about this stuff I need to make a game with no characters and barely any writing and it’s just a heavily atmospheric and oppressive game that is completely dour and serious that makes you feel kind of shit when you get to the end of it where nothing but bad stuff happens
Still thinking about that Gothic remake trailer. That was like a watershed moment for me where the "talks all the time for some reason" protagonist was truly and rightly crucified.
They noticed that everyone's favorite part of games like God of War was when the player looks at a puzzle for more than a nanosecond, the companion would exasperatedly explain the solution is to climb everything painted yellow or shoot the only thing that can be target locked.
picturing the meeting where they were like "trends show we need a 'guy holding a tiny microphone reading a news article verbatim' type character or nobody will be able to play it"
So it's basically not Metroid prime. It's first person botw with a character annoying you the whole time. All interest I barely had is now gone awesome.
No, the intro would be acceptable if it was limited to that but unfortunately they keep talking PAST the intro, like you can disable Hints and the AI from the intro will still go ''Samus I have detected an energy pulse'' like cmon no...
sakamoto paid his penance with dread, great famicom detective club remakes and a new entry
tanabe is still on a short leash after federation forces imo
