Comment on Switch emulator Eden is surviving life after Nintendo kicked it off GitHub

  It looks fine. It’s more the gameplay that doesn’t seem appealing. It seems almost frictionless. There’s too many games that do something similar that are more appealing to me. I’ve been meaning to get into Outward (I own it, but I haven’t put the time into it to get far), but now Outward 2 is on the horizon. It’s open world adventure, but it actually asks the player to think and put some effort into it.

    I mean… The Legend of Zelda also asks you to think and put some effort into it, in the form of dungeon puzzles. It’s the gameplay specifically what I compare to the atmosphere of a Ghibli movie.

    I’ve played Outward. It’s… Incredibly janky, and also tries to be a very hardcore type of game. I don’t think it can be adequately compared to something like Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom.

      They can be compared in that they’re both open-world action-adventure games. I can’t play every game, and of those I’m much more interested in Outward, because it’s trying (and often failing, but still trying) to do something really interesting. BotW was trying to do something others have done, just very polished. I’m more interested in the games who are experimenting, even if I have to deal with a bunch of jank.

        There is no open world game like Breath of the Wild. But your loss.

  I don’t understand how Nintendo is charging over $100/game and can’t bother to hire voice actors for this shit. I tried ToTK and it felt like a shitty asset flip to me that was way overpriced. Sold my switch and went back to just PC and emulation

    Sounds like you’re unfamiliar with Japanese games. It’s not typical for them to have full voice acting.

    Calling anything from The Legend of Zelda a cheap asset flip is quite something, though.

      I mean are they not using essentially the same assets since ever? Every game they put out just feels like regurgitated IP to maximise profits at this point

        … No? Most Legend of Zelda games use the same style maybe twice or thrice… if that. New style means new assets, new models and textures. So they’re not simply reusing assets.

        And I strongly disagree. For a game to be priced lower it needs to actually have less value. Not simply be absent of something you’re used to in Western games.
