I’m planning on yo-ho’ing CP2077, but no way an I paying even if I enjoy it. CDPR has fucked me over enough with The Witcher trilogy that they owe me a free game to make up for the time and money wasted.
After that, I might be willing to give them money again for something else, but I’m not paying for Cyberpunk
Supergiant Games took a payout to make Hades a times exclusive for EGS. They still have some anti-consumer practices, even if you personally don’t think it’s as bad.
Metroidvanias are at their core based on having areas closed off without specific abilities, while open worlds are about having the worl not be closed off. I don’t see how you can make a game that attempts both without failing at being good in either domain
And even though there’s some classic 1st-person gameplay, we all know Nintendo is going to push for tons of traversal on the stupid motorcycle, which will kill the vibe for the whole game.
