| firebush03 said: Hmm… I keep going back on forth on how I feel about this latest Direct. I mean, all that matters is that I came out very pleased with everything. I literally mentioned a few weeks ago how Xeno Trilogy was top of the list for NS2Editions, I had expected Fitness Boxing 3 to be the sports game Nate was talking about, and was only expecting a one-to-one recreation of OoT… and Nintendo completely blew my expectations outta the water! I was hollering throughout the Direct, and was easily one of the most fun Directs I’ve ever watched. And not only that, it was packed to the brim with major reveals for Switch 2 owners. |
3rd party wise I'm playing almost everything on Playstation aside from FF Dissonance (if its good) and Metaphor.
I'm disappointed with the lack of imagination or boldness but the games are looking solid and will keep people entertained.
I hoped they would be more imaginative with Switch Sports although it serve its purpose fine enough. It feels a little bit like they're resting on their laurels a bit too much. I liked how instead of just just doing Wii Fit they done Ring Fit and built in some genuine interesting mechanics and setting. I wanted a bit more of that for Switch Sports Resort but ultimately its fine.
Splatoon Raiders still looks too much like a horde mode, tons happening on screen but very little design or context. Just waves of enemies, very flat level design and movement. Its totally giving DLC instead a standalone single player game worthy of my excitement.
Xenoblade looks more generic than past entries. Leaning a bit too much much into the ambigious fantasy/gatcha territory and loosing the mech and slightly more dark aesthetic of Xenoblade 3 & Chronicles X. I'm sure it will be good but it just didn't impress.
That more or less sums up my feeling. There are a lot of games, but I'm just not exciting for them personally. I look forward to Orbitals and Zelda OOT (which they only teased) and will see if anything else surprises me as more gameplay is revealed/reviews drop in.
