Most of the opinions I have heard seem to think that the characters look fine. Just because you don't like how it looks doesnt mean that most people agree with you. You are just some random forum goer... And as I said, does it actually matter? I used the example of de Blob before to show that a game with a similar aesthetic and worse looking characters can sell just fine. I've explained myself, given reasons why it doesn't matter if the character design is stupid and given reasons why it is a good decision for it not to be Mario game. Your argument is essentially that you think it looks dumb...that is one of the weakest arguments I have heard around here and if that is all you have to bring to this discussion, I have nothing left to say to you PS: No need to act all high and mighty with your "I'm not so shallow" staments and your "It's childish and doesn't accomplish anything but make one person feel falsely inferior and one person feel falsely superior"... its pretty shallow and childish |
Then most of the opinions you've heard are from Nintendo because most of the opinions I've heard are that it looks stupid. My arguement is the the entire market thinks it looks dumb, and that a game with that kind of stigma won't sell well and the idea would sell better if it was under the Mario franchise. That's enough reason for it not to sell well. That's the only reason it needs not to sell well. If a game like W101, a game that is way more marketable than Splatoon, isn't anecdotal evidence enough, then you're a lost cause.
I'm not so shallow and it is childish and doesn't accomplish anything but make one person feel falsely inferior and one person feel falsely superior. Glad you think that makes me high and mighty.
