and yet if I were to stub my toe and hold in the “Holy shit!” I want to say for the sake of some kid that’s within earshot, that’s still an example of censorship.

So you’re saying the few years 300 Avalanche employees did have work, because it ended, was stupid and therefore should have never happened, ever? They should’ve been out of jobs even further back?

Oh, I understand and agree. That quote was summarizing the OPs sentiments.

“I understand how to run successful, billion dollar businesses and these fools in charge don’t.”

Neat that out of all these games, you spend half your description on the only Wii entry slagging on it being on the Wii.

Not everyone living in 2016 owns a smartphone and blows thousands on ‘next-gen’ gaming, so...it works?

All it made me think was, “wow, I could be having a better time playing the real Crash Bandicoot”

This looks like a grand, spectacular trainwreck.

I heart Popplio so much. He reminds me of a circus seal, balancing a ball on his nose to entertain and delight.

I thought they did something like that with the PC version?

You talk at length about getting climbing to look right. To look difficult...

But the real question is: does it still control like a clunky, gummy, unresponsive mess where all you really do is push up to win as the dev shoves sweeping vista after sweeping vista down your eye sockets? Where the only thing that counts as player agency is walking into arenas with chest-high walls and sputter…

“Because I say things, they must be facts”

This looks a bit like Firewatch - using color, lighting, etc. to build a good moody look without having to dump 100,000 polys on every tree to justify its existence.

No...don’t contradict them. A Gamer can never be wrong in their assumptions. Ever.

In the article, the head guy at Disney spells it out: only the first year was a success. Every version past that did progressively worse. So...I don’t think it has anything to do with ‘expecting to be stomped’ by competitors. The damage was already done.

Also Discovery Channel, I think. Or NatGeo. I get the two mixed up.

ITT: None of us own or run large businesses, but we present every presumption and theory as irrefutable fact.

haha, I don’t think it’s as deep as that. I think it has plenty to do with self-interests though.

You mean, devs hating Nintendo, Because Nintendo?
