Side scroller games ARE fun, sometimes. Imagine if if no game had ever evolved past it though. Mega man is my favourite game character and I sit there playing games like ratchet & clank and wishing we could get a modern mega man to match it.
Japanese game companies are allergic to modern, working ideas. I’ve always dislikes how Japanese games look terrible. They don’t even try sometimes and you have ps5 games that look like ps3. They have game series like mega man that they refuse to Move past side scrolling, you play their games and they even leave out basic shit like “pick up item” animations and voice acting. I find Japanese games antiquated and even if they’re fun, they feel like I’m playing a last gen game when I play a Japanese saga or similar dev game.
Pokémon is a good example of a series that refuses to make a current gen game. They all feel like ds games on a switch
I have been a patient gamer and for the last 2 years with psplus and a library card I have burned through every ps4 title worth playing and decided to finally upgrade to a ps5.
3 months in and I’m struggling to find games that look good to me. I keep trying unknown titles and they’re meh.
I can’t believe that years into the ps5 life and I don’t have a backlog of like dozens of ps5 games to play.
To me it would be like announcing a new elder scroll games that takes place in Skyrim. I mean I love Batman but that’s enough. A green arrow game made in the same way would work, or even a proper open world superman
They’ve lost the plot, their next Batman game will just be an online garbage fest. The last Batman game they worked on barely squeaked by as playable and they shit the bed completely after that point. We’re never gonna be back to Arkham 1 & 2 quality.
And even if we could go back to that? Why? It’s been done. The story is over. Move on to someone else instead of just going back to Batman.
My favourite part of the books is how everyone thinks and assumes Geralt is an emotionless mutant, and he plays up that image. meanwhile he’s the most capricious, emotional child when he’s upset or hurt lol
