I’ll be one of the “horde” (albeit more tame) but personally I don’t think developers should make their games easier or change their vision in order to broaden its audience. It kinda reminds me of the “rated R” debate. Certain people want movies like Oppenheimer to be rated PG-13 over being rated R so it can reach a bigger audience. But I don’t think Nolan should be changing his vision of the movie just so it sells better

Ehh I disagree with using RDR2 as an example, but I think QTEs in general are probably my least favorite game mechanic. I actually quite like walking around in RDR2 during the missions. A huge aspect of the game is just immersing yourself in the map/world and listening to the NPCs. I can see it getting old during replays but for me it’s a hell of a lot better than watching a cutscene and being prompted to hit a button. I vividly remember fishing with Dutch and Josea for at least a half hour just listening to them chat with Arthur

RDR2 has one of, if not my favorite, inventory systems. Your own ‘backpack’ that had a weight limit and could only carry smaller things. Big things you’d have to lug onto the back of your horse or find a cart. All of your equipped weapons are displayed on your person. If you want to swap weapons you have to run back to your horse and exchange weapons at your saddle bags

Well I did the ol Switch Game Vouchers and used one on TotK. Hoping Pikmin 4 looks promising!

I just gave Cassette Beasts a shot and was instantly hooked. Fun PokeClone that is one of the best I’ve played and gets some stuff better than even Pokemon does. Also on gamepass if you’ve got that

Retro Bowl is fucking amazing. Really the only mobile game I’ve played a lot of

I always feel like these posts come from people who’ve only ever lived in a city. I’d love to catch a bus sometimes but I’d have to bike an hour to the nearest stop and even then it likely won’t stop where I need to go. In some parts of the US at least, it’s literally impossible to only use public transportation. So you buy a car and if you move somewhere with good public transportation…you’ve already got a car and are used to the freedom anyway

Also the US is very large geographically so if you have to travel often it makes far more financial sense (not to mention saves a lot of time) to get a car
