@PurpCat there are a lot of people who will blindly just love whatever nintendo puts out, but i think there are a ton of people who are the opposite too lol. nintendo has developed so many games with so many different styles you can't really put them under that wide of an umbrella.

i kind of feel this same way about shadow of the colossus too lol. sure it's got these massive boss fights but it runs at like 15 fps and it has basically nothing else going for it.

i've got a little bit of that feeling towards the souls games too... they have a lot of great things going for them from world design to the story to the music but the COMBAT, the CORE GAMEPLAY, sucks ass and i think people really only like it because they have stockholm syndrome from the dopamine administration when you finally bust your head through the brick wall bosses.

this is all coming from the guy whose favorite devil may cry is DmC though so idk sue me.
