Exactly. Also why so many of these big games feel so bland.

Former PlayStation employee speaking here. The short answer is games are now big business, so they're now designed and managed during board meetings.

I'll say it's the ideal time to explore or revisit old games on old hardware. Have you heard about that hobby? 😉

Have you tried sprinkling a little AI on top?

Honestly the reason why they're taking so long is most likely because they can. And thus should.

Oh, I know where the fourth one is! It's this small street going east off of Senryo-dori in Kamurocho, right? It's a dangerous area, be careful.

So, have you played it?

just apply to the ICANN for a .schroeder TLD.
Problem solved.

BotW and TotK are just open-worlds full of chores. At their best, like Super Mario Wonders, they're fun for 30 minutes, after which they go back to being Nintendo-boring.
Remove the Nintendo name and brutal marketing and they may sell for $20 on Steam? Not even sure.

If it were just the graphics...
My hot take is every first-party Nintendo game is a formulaic (despite appearances) and mid indie game. They're very well made, the money does show, but scratch the surface and there's nothing.

How else are you going to play Xbox games on your fridge?

Now we can no longer say that Trump's tariffs are ineffective or counterproductive. They were able to do what taste could never do.

Now I want an open-world AI DLC for Baby Steps that goes nuts.

I want to replay it, but I'll wait for it to come out on PC. I don't like my games trapped in a Nintendo cage.

Maybe also different times, both in general and for the company in particular?

As they say in France, it's not because you're on a diet that you can't have a look at the menu.

The thing is no one needs the Epic client. You just use Heroic, even on Windows, make sure your games are automatically added to Steam, and profit.

I don't buy my cookies at Ikea for the same reason I don't buy my throwaway furniture at Crumbl
Oh, by the way, I don't buy throwaway furniture, it's bad for my cholesterol and blood sugar levels

I must admit the current administration has a good taste in gaming consoles

Disco Elysium - The Final Cut Disco Elysium - The Final Cut is the definitive edition of the groundbreaking role play

Just buy the game, folks. It's insanely good and one of those you must play at least once. And even if you're not rich, it's frequently on very deep sales.
This is where I recommend buying it ($9.99 right now): www.gog.com/en/game/disc...
GOG is the only way to actually own a digital game.

People have always liked evading their daily life and numb their brain, that's not very new.
Alcohol and drugs have the same purpose, but a more similar example, that I'm sure you're familiar with, is pachinko.

Even in a household like mine, where almost any console and thousands of good games are available, they will still play these very mediocre games.
That's because their friends play them.
And I think that's all there is to it.

My kids are from their late teens to mid-20s, I've seen them playing these games, I've tried them, and I don't get it.
The only explanation I can find is because a phone is what they have.
