that is the kind of FPS experience i want
platformer run and guns can be fun
metroid was cool in the 80s
it really was
but its a bit oversaturated in the indie scene at least
tribes ascend was supposed to be good but....hi-rez cannot make good games
but the vast majority of platformer rngs are not better games than metroid
ya
and metroid is not a game i would still play today
why can't indie devs in general make good games
super metroid was the last good metroid
they want to appeal to women, as a foundational idea for whatever project they undertake
so
what about prime
you're gonna get garbage
i think in general, ease of game publishing and development has lead to worse games across the board
indie, aaa
it's all garbage
but zero suit samus is an aryan queen
definitely true
we were better off when the barrier to entry was learning assembler for some new console architecture
lowest common denom production begins, everyone loses
or bitwise compiler optimizations for x86
making games used to be really hard
and there was a huge number of people who could not cut it and never got out the door
so only the fanatically dedicated would ever see their game published
also the fact that various weirdos and dreggs shitted up every major company at every level
well, i mean, here's the reality
its not just a bunch of old nerdy white guys making cool shit
you are a gaming company, all your actual real developers and artists who were good have retired
you want to leverage your brand but you can't make a good product
what can you do to have an audience?
you can prostitute your brand to political causes
it's pretty apaprent too..."writing" in games was pretty good because of the strange perfection of the team of Interplay and Black Isle....now it's almost all women
and...yeah...
ya thats probably a good point
in hopes that adherents to that ideology will buy stuff even if it is crap
mr. laughter is right
mass effect: andromeda made $110 million in revenue
how many times can u really do that tho?
