Consider that the average person have a reliable salary or income while an illustrator works as a per-project basis. Only fairly big illustrators have a steady flow of new projects.

Keep in mind that BotW is a Wii U title. I don’t think the Switch version have any improvements to match the system’s specs.

Oh, right! She did Radiant Dawn, I really like her style as well. Nephenee is one of my favorite characters from RD. 

In my opinion Hidari (Fire Emblem Echoes) have a more elegant and grounded art style:

“[…] which is a fascinating development, in that it implies there was ever a use in the first place.”

Well, to your argument:

Seems like the characters are modelled properly.. however, the first screenshot, ooph. That looks 3DS at best. I don’t understand going with 3D without having the expertise to do so. The old games nailed the 2D art, RF4 (on 3DS) looked bland aside from the portraits, but this just look plain ugly - and I am not even…

Absolutely baffled how they had the balls to charge $50 in a game and THEN fill it up with that f2p bullshit.

I mean, that is the only thing those companies can do. I believe doing something is better than do nothing. Besides, at a certain point you, as a Russia citizen, gotta ask yourself if all those companies are just being evil or maybe it is the government. 

Sorry to break it to you... but they didn’t improve that much:

Such a missed opportunity. It seems that some scenes are HD-2Dfied (check Ceres Opera scene), but it would be amazing to have such a polished game receive treatment on the same level of its content.

I love the cover illustration. Kotaku should have more editorial illustrations for its articles.

Recently bought the Quest version and can assure you, VR is even better than the wiimote. Besides, the realization you are within the game you played so many hours is just ineffable.

I see all of those PS5s just there, collecting dust, instead of being used by actual users and enriching the community, which has real-world consequences, like more ports, more games, more accessories, more players. Having more PS5s out there, in consumers hands actually add value by bringing more people and…

Not only the fact that we all have huge backlogs to play, but those gamers who whine when a game gets delayed are the very same who review bomb if the game is half-baked.

It’s also worth noting that 100k dislikes (that also can come from people who don’t have Switches at all) is a very small fraction of the total of NSO users. I have NSO but I’m not getting this premium service since I don’t care for N64 games, but I can’t help but put things in perspective: like how Destiny 2 charges…

I agree 100% with you. There are a lot of aspects of D2 that caters for different audiences. Since I look for story, characters, narrative and plot, the price of, say, Beyond Light, was the same price of (for example) Ghost of Tsushima, and based on my play time of D2 I would get a lot more from GoT. As I said, I love…

I was disappointed with Beyond Light, although loved the campaign. I was fascinated to know more about the Exos and Clovis Bray, but unfortunately it was a very short campaign and since I am now a PvP player, the other activities did felt very grind-y. I saw no reason to pursuit a specific variation of a weapon just…

Kingdom Hearts have, often, a very dark and sad atmosphere. Darkness is a constant theme throughout the series.

That’s too bad. D2 is a great game, I love its characters, lore, narrative, universe (not a fan of the pvp content), but it’s such a gigantic investment of money for such a small return. I hope they change their model in the future.
