No, you’re misinterpreting what the uncanny valley is. The valley is that gap between what the artist creates and what an actual human looks/sounds/moves like. In this case the uncanny valley is wide, and in other cases it’s narrow, but it’s still the uncanny valley either way.

But you first sentence said you though there were “four new indies” before you clicked, not BoI and 3 new games...?

I can’t help but see Main Lady as the Lady from Team America.

From a business standpoint, I totally agree. From an artistic standpoint... it’s unacceptable honestly.

I’m pretty stoked on binding of Isaac. I’m an enormous meatboy fan but haven’t gotten around to this one yet, and I’m gonna give it a whack as soon as I’m done with Zelda (which I’m nearing). Between that and I Am Setsuna, I’ll probably continue to get use out of my switch until more stuff is out (not to mention how I…

More than likely they are using an algorithm to animate the faces based on input text and not animating them by hand, which would give you a much more emotive response, if the animator is any good. It’s corner cutting, but hey, most wont care, and they save a bunch of money.

Facial animations is the biggest criticism of Horizon Zero Dawn as well. I’m not sure why but it seems like it’s just the one area of these gorgeous giant games that just still isn’t there.

For me, it is less the animation issues (which as you pointed out, is not completely uncommon), but the character models. They look.... unfinished? More plasticy? I can’t quite place it. I think it is just the uncanny valley hitting me hard. The ships, lighting, effects, and environments look great, but the character…

It’s nice that you want to create a new way to play for yourself, but no. Too many dangers can kill your horse so I don’t even use one(I know you can resurrect them, I still don’t want to go through the process of losing Epona), which makes travel much slower, which makes fast travel much more useful.

Two trees will be identical, one will have extra apples. You remove the extra apples to make all the trees look alike.

Aaand this is why all the NeckTubeBeards don’t fucking get that shit like what Pewdiepie jokes about matters, because he is literally inundating the minds of preteen children with bigotry and normalizing talking about raping women as a sort of good chuckle. He is showing them that talking about “burning all the Jews”…

I recently visited my girlfriend’s aunt, uncle and her nephews - the kids are the only ones who play video games in their whole family so I have a pretty good rapport with them. We’re sitting there chatting about stupid little kid stuff (they’re 9 and 11) and they start talking about bashing Jews and laughing about…

The video game industry is healthier with more competitors, not fewer. Unless everyone just converges to PC, we’re all better off with Nintendo making hardware.

Well, I mean, having Jotaro show up without any context is also kind of weird too since the audience is supposed to know why it’s significant that he’s there.

Because Phantom Blood has crap pacing for the first half, and turns into Castlevania for the second half. You can’t do Battle Tendency or Stardust Crusaders without explaining the Stone Mask and Dio, which again requires Part 1 to be made into a movie.

Probably. It also takes place in Japan so that probably helps in terms of location.

“Obligatory Best Opening”

But part 4 is almost exclusively full of Asian character.

you can. Its caled get a cam, get a twitch account, get good and start streaming my friend!

They should really mess with people by having a trophy for buying a trophy, but make it so you can’t buy that trophy. That way, people who are like “I’m not going to buy any trophies, I’m going to get the platinum trophy legitimately!” will realize that doing so is impossible: they have to wimp out and buy one.
