Shining Resonance (PS3) 93106 (75%) Shining Resonance Refrain (PS4) 27623 (22%) Shining Resonance Refrain (NS) 3756 (3%) I'm puzzled about Octopath's outstanding success. Look at the following pictures
Switch owners had the choice between an old-looking RPG and a modern RPG with waifus, modern graphics & animation, and they massively picked the one with weak graphics. I believe that can send a wrong message to 3rd parties : now SquareEnix or anyone can make a PSOne-looking RPG, slap exclusive + nostalgia on it and say "hey, Switch fans, this is just for you". Result being that Switch would get less and less high-end games and more old-school ones with low production values. |
Can you show 1 respected reviewer who paints the Octopath graphics the same way in which you do? I suspect they're just not your cup-of-tea and you are presenting your own opinion as fact.
Regardless, there absolutely is an appetite for retro-influenced games on Switch - which obviously suits Switch owners as they're the ones buying them in the first place, so your concern is unwarranted. And just like you completely failed to define your use of the terms casual gamers / games in a coherent way in a previous thread I suspect it'd be the same case here with your use of production values.
Unless you're trolling, in which case, touche!
