Probably. That’s a big part of why it’s inherently problematic in my eyes. That’s not to say that true open-worldness CAN’T be done “well”, but 1) it has yet to be done so and 2) it’s driven by cost/profit margins, not by an interest in actually creating an interesting world that feels alive and vibrant.

Yes, as a good gamemaster for such a game is deliberately steering the campaign in a particular direction to keep the game interesting. Open-world games literally are incapable of doing this, as they are set in pre-determined worlds filled with emptiness.

The reason we have Drumpf is because we have a history of tolerating intolerance. We’re doing it right now!

No amount of “open-worldness” will ever be able to compete with a well- and DELIBERATELY-constructed, FOCUSED world in which a very specific series of events is designed to take place. To me, “open-worldness” always comes across as just a lazy cop-out to avoid having to do any real world building. BotW avoids this…

Whiteness must be eradicated.

That’s okay. You don’t have to understand it. But you also don’t have to shit on other people for enjoying it.

Even the name, Wolfhard, is a fucking reference to Wolfjob, arguably the most well-known Game Grumps meme.

Except they literally can’t do that anymore because that song is now public domain.

Fox coverage of literally anything, sports-related or not, is pretty fucking abysmal.

Fox, staying classy as usual.

Except that Discord is good.

Literally Who?

A whole fucking lot about FF7 hasn’t aged well at all. Not just the graphics. No remake can fix a lot of those things without completely reimagining the structure of the game’s narrative.

PPT is the most responsive and fast-paced CONSOLE version of Tetris available right now. The Tetris gameplay is pretty much the closest you can legally get to TGM without actually buying a TGM board. And Puyo is always good as an added bonus.

Platinum did not develop Nier. They developed Nier: Automata.

Puyo Puyo Tetris will probably still be the better Tetris game.
