People don't understand why people are so amazed by how this game looks.
Most Nintendo fans are multi-platform gamers, and have been at least a couple of gens. So they've seen this level of visual fidelity before.
The point is that you have this level of visual fidelity *with* Nintendo's art design and art styles, which ends up making it look notably better than other company's games with similar detailed visuals.
Showing clips from games like TLOU and GoD doesn't make sense because they straight-up looks less visually striking despite having more technical detail.
The individual details of a game aren't the only thing that determines how good a game looks (surprise surprise).

Rest in peace to Sir Patrick Stewart — an emperor, a captain, and an inspiration to us all.
Our thoughts are with his loved ones.

Always kills me how people on here will pretend to be shocked that the average Joe or celebrity views JJK highly. Yeah man, that shit has the sauce. This is inarguable. No debate to be had. This is the way.
Inde Navarrette studied anime to learn more about storytelling.
"I transitioned into studying film and watching movies and asking 'Why do I like them?' […] 'Jujutsu Kaisen' I find to be a very fascinating anime, but why is it so different than 'Demon Slayer'? Why is it so different than other ones?
I learned about timeline and about storytelling—how a person can have a monologue at the beginning of the episode that matters two episodes later or even at the end, and that person's dead and you don't learn it until then—and then attaching that to my screenwriting and trying to learn that way."

It will forever astound me that gaming at large is all about "respect creative vision" until anything causes the slightest bit of inconvenience and then I gotta hear about how all these people complaining are apparently the only people who play games who have jobs and other responsibilities lol.
Arlo's video wasn't that bad, but the people quoting and going "Well I got other shit to do" are like...missing the point. Games are entertainment media they are not food, they are not required for you to function and they will still be there a week from now.
Stop confusing FOMO and wanting to be able to say you beat a thing with the actual experience of playing it. FW has made so many more concessions to make the alternate routes playthroughs and other things more streamlined as you go through more.
Even if there do end up being some pacing issues I'm just tired of hearing about how apparently all these people are the first ever to play a video game who also have to work a 9-5 and how gaming needs to be built around a specific 25-30 something age range so they don't feel left out instead of making the game how they want.
We need to stop letting social media and complaints dictate our talking points. If you think the game is too big, fine, just stop qualifying it where the game or piece of media doesn't bend to your schedule. We don't do this with tvs and movies but we do it constantly with games lol.
