Traveler's Tales aren't the best developers in the world, but they aren't that bad. The games I've played from them have been average at worst, and pretty good at best.
>>333101818
>see a game that looks interesting
>it's a early access game
Like I understand when devs put out EA games because they need more funding and it's a good way to raise it, but it feels they abandon the game pretty quickly after getting a tidy profit out of it.
japs made it
Western made game.
It's a western game.
>>333100126
Toy story racer was good
Early Access is NOT a red flag. It's a risk marker.
Nowadays, Survival is a red flag.
Indie is also a risk marker.
The difference in a red flag is that it's "almost always bad."
A risk marker is "Depends on most factors, likely to be bad, but has a decent shot of not being bad."

You realize 2D Metroid games take about as much skill as Gone Home, right? You can literally button mash your way through the entire franchise. Metroid is the agar.io of single player games. Real men play Ninja Gaiden.

Nigga, Super is the easiest game in an already easy franchise. I beat Super Metroid without dying once when I was 5 years old. Face it, Metroid is casual garbage for people who suck at vidya. Go play La Mulana or something.

How does that take away from the game experience though? The question wasn't wasn't "All female characters are bad." the question was "All games that contain female characters are bad." Not only are your arguments unfounded, they are completely irrelevant to the conversation... retard.

Movement. As soon as I feel the movement and it has that input lag feel, or the buttons are unresponsive it's an immediate drop. So the GTAs? Dropped. Zestiria? Dropped. Fuck outta here with that bullshit, your game is automatically shit if it can't control well.

The problem is there are a fuck tons of ways to do anti aliasing, some much more performance intensive. So just on/off instead of listing what actual option its using is usually a sign of carelessnes.

Either this game will allow me to relive the good old days of when animals were fun characters, or it will be a really shitty experience.
Luckily, the past few I played were fun games, but I'm still religiously cautious when approaching games where the cast are not humans or generic fantasy races (elves, dwarves, etc) or aliens.
