I wasn't following zelda news back then so I wasn't around to react, but TWW was my first 3d zelda and i always loved it.

that said, that trailer for it is pretty bad. Link coyly winking at the camera? TWW runs the full spectrum from utterly goofy to pretty gravely serious. when that trailer was all you had to know what it'd be like I can see how you'd feel disconcerted.

BW2 definitely deserves much higher than that.
bw2 came out when people were beyond done with DS games. pokemon had already released DP, then platinum, then HGSS, then BW, AND a lot of DS pokemon spin off games, and then 3DS came out.

and THENNNNNNN, an entire year and a half later,
they released BW2.

i agree that it is better than the other reduxes, but i don't blame the reviewers for having grown slightly weary of these games. BW2 probably would have gotten great reviews if it had come out in 2007 instead of 2012.

So the better version of the game get lower scores, that's dumb
part of a reviewer's criteria is how novel / intriguing the game is. Redux pokemon games are 85% the same as their base versions, which makes them inherently less interesting than the original versions and is the reason why they always get lower average scores.

if you haven't played the original game then the remakes are generally unilaterally better games (which reviews usually point out) -- but they get lower scores bc it's boring to rerelease a game with only a bit of extra content.

Ok but he didnt hurt anyone else and yet here you are shitting on his death. Its one thing if he had but its completely different to use some made up hypothetical scenario to justify bashing a dead person.

Its fucked up no matter how you spin it. This isnt Game of Thrones. We should be more civilized than to instantly say someone deserves death over stolen property.
whether or not he ended up killing somebody doesn't absolve him of anything morally as far as i'm concerned.

if you drive drunk and get home safely, you're not morally good-to-go just because you got lucky

anyway i didn't say he deserved death. i wouldn't endorse sentencing him to death, even if he had killed somebody

but i don't have any sympathy for his death. my opinion is just that i'm glad he only killed himself and not anybody else.

if i were speaking to his family members I'm sure i'd temper my opinion for their sakes

you are talking as if the worst thing that happens when you drive like that is that some property is stolen/destroyed.

in reality, these chases often end up killing wholly innocent people just like that. driving at 120+ mph weaving through traffic at intersections, you know it's deadly and you know the risk you're putting yourself and others at, and for what. so he could have a new motorbike. selfish and stupid.

no sympathy for him. i'm just glad he only ended up killing himself and nobody else.

cotton's death can't be retconned. but they can show him in flashbacks/memories if they really want to put him in the show. KOTH has shown plenty of flashbacks of cotton/hank/peggy etc from when they were younger, they can do it again if they want.

idk why everybody calls it weapon durability when it's really weapon fragility.

anyway, the point of weapon fragility is so you can live off the land as you play. instead of finding a weapon and never thinking about it again, you can find weapons everywhere and you can do with them what you want. set them on fire, throw them down a canyon, hurl them at a monster, whatever. you can even take weapons from wild creatures you encounter, and they can even use your weapons. it's dynamic and interesting. you can always find more of them. and you can get them no matter where you go in hyrule, no matter what point of the game you're at.

A hookshot would be really cool, i'd love more ways to traverse the air. the glider was so much fun

Game freak has only made one spin off game before and it was Pokemon quest or something.

Game freak devoted a Dev cycle to this game and it has full connectivity with home. The gameplay continues their experimentation with placing roaming Pokemon in wide natural areas that they've been playing around with in the past two mainline games, SS and LGPE.

Whether you want to call it core or mainline or whatever doesn't matter, the point is this is not some trifling side gig they churned out and will forget when it's done. Game freak will continue to iterate on the ideas in this game even if they decide not to make an explicit sequel.

which is what most women do until it keeps happening over and over.

when it happens once maybe you can ignore it. when it happens every day, you can't just ignore it "and move forward" like nothing is wrong, without your mental health suffering.

personally I think it's commendable to call out bigotry, even when the bigotry isn't coming regularly. keeping your head down and tolerating it so as not to raise a stink isn't somehow more admirable.
