The art looks alright, but that’s not what he’s saying.

I simply mean the original had just a fraction of the mechanics of later games and it was still more interesting than lbw.

Without those elements which were added soon after the first game, Metroid would just be another shooter today. Like ALBW is just another hack-and-slash where you just mindlessly grind for items. At least compared to other Zelda games (even the original).

It was still something that eliminated most of the fun of exploring. Imagine if in Super Metroid you just walked through the game without encountering any mysterious inaccessible stuff along the way, because you got all your abilities including the screw attack right at the first goddamn screen by killing beetles for…

Then you completely and utterly fucking missed the point of a beautiful game even though it was right there in front of you.

Funny how people always make that assumption when confronted with a truth about a game they like.

Fuck anyone who complains about “backtracking” in this game or any other. It’s your fault that games have become reduced to linear corridor combat on one end and meaningless, structureless open world heightmaps with quick-travel on the other.

No, secrets were hidden behind grinding rupees.

LBW was boring as shit because you could just get all the items right away.

My question: where’s the mod that replaces dudes’ character portraits and sprites with perfectly chiseled abs and asses?

You’re one hypocritical douchebag, patrick. Hope you’re happy with the clicks, though!

Thing X is popular and/or sells well, therefore there’s a lot of it.

I think we all know the answer to that last question.

No, it’s over-used HDR. Do a google image search for hdr and you’ll find many other terrible examples. It’s a tool often misused by inexperienced photographers, or those with no talent at all.

Terrible use of HDR by a photographer with no talent.

I don’t get how anyone can possibly want to use Twitch for this. The only difference is the chat, and given enough people, it is impossible to have any sort of conversation. It’s just pages of random one- or two-word lines flying by. When something notable happens, it’s just pages of single all-caps words and some…

I did basically this 15 years ago in Unreal Engine 1.

Doesn’t look like anything special. Any random Unreal Engine game can have photorealism now. That kinda stuff isn’t special anymore, and it baffles me why you’re still impressed by it. That screenshot you posted at the top especially looks utterly boring and bog-standard, something an indie developer can churn out in…

Everyone? This hack is definitely not for me, so it already failed if that was truly the aim (I am included in that subset).
