I hope whatever is filling you with so much bile passes soon man.
Hey, I'm not the one talking down to strangers unprompted. I hope whatever possessed you to do that passes too.
I really don’t care anymore
Then stop responding to me and move on. You're not gonna talk down to me and say "you need to broaden your horizons" then play victim when called out.
Plenty of people do: they may call it "character action" or "spectacle fighter" or whatever meaningless name is hot nowadays, but technically speaking they're just action games with no extra tags.
Every game you mentioned has extra tags that fundamentally change how they play: roguelike, RPG, metroidvania… etc.
You also do not even need to know any of this: I literally mentioned exactly what I meant in my comment, and if you don't subscribe to the same definition, you could've just moved on. Not really sure why you had to stop and doll out unsolicited wisdom if you had nothing of substance to offer.
And telling me to "broaden my horizons" is not a normal answer, it's a condescending one.
If you think the difference between Hades and Bayonetta is semantics, like, holy shit. I don't even know what to tell you.
Godspeed.
And to avoid any confusion: I mean action a la Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden II, God Hand… etc. Not roguelikes, zeldalikes, or soulslikes.
This is from my original comment. What moving goal posts? More like the person who replied to my comment ignored my original goalposts because they didn't fit their narrative.
I'm not gonna touch this, but I'm glad it exists 😂
IDK where this logic is coming from. PS2, Xbox 360, and older Nintendo consoles are filled with weird games by big companies. Like, yes, they unfortunately moved on from weirdness when gaming became too profitable and that sucks, but falsely glorifying indies like that is just weird.
IDK about western companies, but Japanese studios built their brand on weird, and I'm all for Capcom and Co. going back to their weird roots. That shit was fun.
I can explain how manners work now if you need a lesson. Just say the word.
