That's a spot on comparison.
Soon as I saw that open world it actually lowered my expectation for the game overall.
Yeah, once the cool factor wears off, it's pretty jarring.

Where does an open-world fit in a Metroidvania design? This seems like one of the checklists that suits add just to make sure the game moves more units.

Nintendo is adding barren ass open worlds to all their franchises. They are going through that early 8th gen era

This was that second game I was waiting on to upgrade to the 2. Definitely gonna be next year at the earliest at this rate

That FE looks fine but its not something I would buy a console for, I'm probs out till they come out with the oled version or some shyt.

I'm not gonna lie when the trailer started during the direct I thought it was some fukking DLC for another game I'm like why the fukk is she on a bike? The graphics looked like a early PS3 game.

I saw that desert and fell asleep lol. Last thing I remember seeing was the Pokémon level graphics and shaky framerate. What else happened after that. Man actually never mind Nintendo LAWST
