Didn't mean that the game was niche, but that it was apparently what TGA thought. I mean, it's the best selling game in the franchise. (And the franchise has a popular fighting game spinoff too.) Its competition for strategy games weren't much of a threat, either.
An adaptation of a video game is a dramatically different concept from using a game itself as the medium for a show.
There is always some bias in mind, but there also a reason why the game has a 93 MC score, vs whatever its user score is now. These people review games as a job and do everything possible to look at them through a critical lense. They still will have interpersonal thoughts about them, but are going to base what they feel is the goty in the most objective way possible.
You was not forced to buy and play the game that has shown what was about for almost 4 years.
Isn't that just making the problem worse then, by literally putting most of the genres in award categories that are never seen by anyone? If you're third runner up for Best Visual Novel at the TGAs, and it's never even mentioned on the stream - that's not really publicity.
The point is that the game is trying to be a morality play about the senseless brutality of violence, and how Ellie's actions don't actually help her in the grieving process. The only way to actually experience the narrative is to play out all of that senseless violence, often through game mechanics that make her 'tragic descent into madness' feel like a badass action movie. It's a complete tonal break, in a game that is primarily profiting on tone.
Feels like a tragic story of lost/revenge and redemption to me, the fact the game plays like a dream is big plus not a negative.
Everything between chapters 5 and 12 for me rs
I don't care about Animal Crossing but what is true is that sad that the medium has advanced so much and in most cases the central "gameplay core loop" is still violence and killing enemies.
Yeah, it's so insane. I don't think a lot of people grasp just how crazy those sales figures are. Animal Crossing was not bundled in most areas of the world, so that's not what's driving the numbers, and as of the last financial report Switch was only a little more than half of PS4's lifetime sales. So there's all these games this generation on PS4 + Xbox One + PC (and some also on Switch) that aren't able to compete with Animal Crossing's first 6 months on a single console.
TLOU2 going from narrative to combat is like if The Road broke out into a John Wick fight scene every twenty minutes. I can like both of those things independently, while realizing that putting them together makes for an unsatisfying whole.
Animal Talking is a series produced independently of Nintendo's involvement, other than taking place in Animal Crossing. It's not a cross-promotional tool organized or developed by Nintendo.
