original game, sequel, sequel, sequel, sequel.

there really needed to be more variation in this list.

no nomination for silent hill f? dk bananza? no mario kart world? all of these games have amazing art direction, regardless of what you think about the games in general.

@beardalaxy >complains about sequels of newer games making the list
>wants mario kart 213 on it
what

@WandererUber the point of complaining about sequels is that they all have the exact same art direction as the previous game. mario kart world is a sequel but it's in a different art style.

@beardalaxy @WandererUber I see what you mean but tbf Silksong's visuals are a substantial improvement over Hollow Knight's and insanely impressive (IMO) for a small team.
It's also true that Mario Kart World is in many ways a big step up over 8 in terms of visuals, the characters and their animations look amazing. But it's on the new Nintendo and they made some asinine decisions about both ranked and single player gameplay structure so people will chimp out if you praise anything about it.

@LittleTom @WandererUber i really hate how the online for mario kart world turned out, and the open world is empty and gay. 24 player races may have been a mistake. the art is awesome though, i love the way the game feels to play, a lot of the courses are so well made (which is why online feels so bad since you never get to play them), and the soundtrack is full of remixes but there are so many of them and they're so good.

chimping out about video games seems to be the default these days it seems...

@beardalaxy @LittleTom @WandererUber >chimping out about video games seems to be the default these days it seems...

I mean, that's because video games aren't good anymore and the devs love to use their players as guinea pigs (see: CoD/AAA games and SBMM/EOMM)

@LittleTom @beardalaxy @WandererUber Look, you can't see the numbers except on Steam and all the numbers are from THREE GAMES in 1 launcher, but trust us bro. BO7 is doing well.

@sendpaws @LittleTom @WandererUber call of duty does have a significantly larger player base on console though, that is true. the type of person playing call of duty now is usually not the kind of person who is going to buy a pc.

@beardalaxy @LittleTom @WandererUber The thing with CoD is they keep it last gen as well on purpose to boost sales numbers in the same way sports games are, and the funny thing is some of those already dropped last gen consoles.
