Loved Horizon, so I clicked on an open world gameplay trailer and it’s just survivalslop, fiddling with some shit-producing hovels to get them upgraded to shit+1-producing hovels and hitting trees until they’re planks.
The country where I live has this article available for free (other articles from the site do require a subscription, albeit they are labelled as such).
I normally post archive.is copies for subscription articles, I thought this was in open access.
Most Links are portrayed as being either kids/teenagers or very young-looking adults, and Zelda is often portrayed as being a more experienced character, still young but often already embroiled in the politics or conflicts that are core to the story’s initial setup. Link usually shows character growth as he rises to the challenge, but Zelda is often a more static character, who starts the story fully fledged.
I’ve never heard of either actor, but a cursory Google to look at their various photos and I can see them working in the roles. Obviously assuming they can act, too.
Usually they reincarnate to be about the same age. Zelda does tend to be in leadership because she always reincarnates as the princess but link is always physically much stronger. Also his face is weirdly round for the character but that’s my own artsy opinion based on the main 3D games.
I was crossing my fingers for Hunter Schafer, but the casting they chose looks pretty decent. They’re a bit younger than I expected but I guess it’s lore accurate.
One should not make the mistake to just judge a single photograph, for a role in a film. Its also important how they move and talk, and what the perception of the person based on existing films is. I’m not in the position to judge about any of these castings or your suggestion, just wanted bring in this point into the discussion.
People have different preferences. It would be nicer to say “I don’t see it, I don’t think she would fit,” instead of “y’all are weird as fuck…” that’s kind of rude and weird to say.
I’m going to give coyotino the benefit of the doubt here and say that meant “Look at her, she already looks like Zelda” just based on the previous sentence
Is this a criticism of the quote, or a response to it?
Once again, you’re not actually just stating your issue, and your responses are ambiguous enough that they could be interpreted either as an objection to people treating Hunter Schafer in a way that you perceive as negative, or an objection to Hunter Schafer.
most of the things i’ve read about this thing has been just more and more typical corpo user-hostile practices. if i ever had more than a passing interest in buying one, it would have been gone by now
Just by literally any of the other handheld PCS and just stick an emulator on it if you’re that interested in playing the games. The only reason to buy a Switch 2 is for convenience.
The problem is that the Steam Deck is nowhere near as powerful as the docked switch 2 at this point. I’m still gonna buy a Steam Deck instead of a Switch 2 because of Nintendo’s bullshit, but that kind of sucks.
