Just curious are you being purposefully disingenuous or are you really so defensive of a franchise that you really understand what they’re saying this little

Seems like they’re referring to the loss of potential new experiences in the same style as the old rather than losing the old experiences themselves. While I thought BotW was neat, it definitely didn’t grab me the way that almost every other Zelda aside from Skyward Sword did, and TotK only seems to have gotten even…

Highly disappointing, but expected. I knew the Zelda that I loved was gone for good after BotW released.

Fuck. I miss the days when their consoles and handhelds were seperate and we would still get some classic top down action between 3d. Hopefully we still get some of those, even if its oracle remakes like links awakening.

Fuck ‘em. Their words mean nothing.

Waxes poetic about overwatch 1 ignoring that they killed that game to make it a money pit with a promise of something brand new coming in OW2 and now that lie is exposed as well.

It just kept going.

This article is unbearable, and might finally be the tipping point for me to leave this site. AI art is a tool. Saying it spits on “real animators” is short-sighted, and reeks of people that refuse to adapt to the times, like anyone saying that Photoshop, filters, or digital animation weren’t doing “real art.”

The article is just drenched in outrage. This is on par with the kind of burn-it-all-down writing you find in response to a tweet about how maybe a 25% tip for take-out is a bit much.

It’s a great game. People overhyped the hell out of it and the game suffered as a result.

I’ll go back to read but to answer the title question, it’s always been good. It’s definitely not great nor goty material, just a good game (on modern hardware of course).

Agreed. Feels more like Kotaku authors these day most write contrarian articles just as click bait to generate traffic.

Yeah no, it was a cute scene that didn’t feel like an ad, more like nostalgic food for 90's kids.

This feels like a blatant over reaction.

Think the likeliest explanation here is probably that they used another “Total HD Textures Reworked Overhaul Supreme” mod that itself had incorporated, surreptitiously or otherwise, the mod in question. There’s generally a code of conduct around doing such things, but it wouldn’t be the first, second, or third time…

This is one of the most ridulous things ever printed. How about stop celebrating mental illness? 

Me sitting down and playing a game is literally not harming anyone. 

If you hate fun, sure.

More shameful “journalism”. Yes, lets all give our money to this random person you clearly have no connection with and buy games that are literally nothing like Hogwarts Legacy in quality scope or gameplay. And less not gloss over the fake outrage over JK being transphobic when she has never said anything hateful to…

man that is some major cope lol

I would never in my life buy a video game based on the sexual orientation of it’s creator. What a dumb thing to do.
