Metroidvanias are at their core based on having areas closed off without specific abilities, while open worlds are about having the worl not be closed off. I don’t see how you can make a game that attempts both without failing at being good in either domain
But who knows, maybe it’ll be a Breath of the Wild moment for the series.
At least Zelda was already pretty close to open world with most of their entries. Metroidvanias don’t really work as open worlds as a genre
Yeah, the bike section looked horribly boring.
And even though there’s some classic 1st-person gameplay, we all know Nintendo is going to push for tons of traversal on the stupid motorcycle, which will kill the vibe for the whole game.
They specifically mentioned multiple questlines breaking and blocking progression in addition to several smaller bugs yet they still gave the game an 8/10. I get that IGN reviews are the softest of balls to hit, but that’s ridiculous for even them
Nintendo’s patent lawyers should be reported to the bar association over this. These most recent patents are atrociously bad and could probably get the lawyers sanctioned
To call that dumbass palworld AI SLOP
Found the Nintendo fanboy. How do them boots taste?
Give eternal passes to Sony and Microsoft, but the pikachu/Mario guys are the villains…???
Obvious red herring. People yell about the bullshit Sony and Microsoft pull all the time. Have you ever considered that all 3 are shit?
You are calling me the “dumbass”, here? 😅 Both logic and philosophy say this perspective is wrong
If you’ve ever taken a philosophy course you’d know you’re completely full of shit.
Your whole comment belongs on r/okbuddyretard. Not that I should have expected any better from a Nintendo bootlicker
Yet it doesn’t seem to negatively effect the score
Nintendo is suing Palworld over patents they filed AFTER Palworld released, and said patents are so broad that many other games also technically violate said bullshit patents. Nintendo is the one in the wrong.

Eat my entire ass, bootlicker.
Are you literally asking me to provide proof that somwthing isn’t happening?
You can’t prove a negative, dumbass. The onus of proof is on you
For me I often have a fix in 5 minutes. I just don’t have the time to review and push
Microsoft and Sony aren’t currently trying to sue other developers into the ground. Nintendo is.
Fuck Nintendo and quit licking their boots
Then get blocked, troll
Can we please stop injecting Hollow Knight into everything?
Personally, my only complaint is that legendary guns were too common in BL3. I often kept running with the same legendary for 15-20 levels becauae they were still better than the non-legendaries. Why have 18 bajillion guns when there’s 20 better ones you can get semi-often?
And you don’t have to like it either!
Doesn’t stop fanboys from downvoting any criticism. Or from trying to inject the game into completely unrelated discussions today
Jokes aside, you may want to take them to a vet
I think it’s cool, as English could benefit from re-introducing “ð” (eth) and “þ” (thorn) and getting rid of “c” (because it’s fucking useless)
My only gripe with the user in question is that they get snippy when they’re corrected on when to use “þ”. They’re specifically using the usage in Middle English, not how Old English or modern Icelandic use them.
Alright, this one got me cracking up on my lunch break
