I think I’m just more into the more long-form informative formats. There are games that I’d probably really love, but I’d never know by watching this Direct: a sterile presentation with pallid details on just about all of the 387 games they showed. To me, it felt kind of pointless. A perfect of this is:
“Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Sun, a game about Link falling from very very high up, releasing like 8 months from now.”
This is Zelda, the sequel to Breath of the Wild, arguably the greatest game ever made. Yet, when it was on the screen, I found myself not giving a shit.
So, Final thoughts: I think this Direct undersold, perhaps, every single game they showed.
But anyway, that’s just my thoughts. The format obviously works for some people. I see video clips of Nintendo youtubers so ecstatic by this Direct that these grown men were shouting whilst flailing about absurdly like that 9 year old N64-kid.
Maybe next time they have a Direct like this I should pound some whisky, that would change my mood :D
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
