YUP this was my first time learning about this too honestly insane

Looking back at the whole Dexit movement from 2019 really makes me think back to how shitty that whole situation was on both fronts.

Now you have the recency bias wearing off and people saying sword and shield are good games just to dunk on Scarlet and Violet

I have quite literally been treating this new console as the switch pro people have been begging for since 2020.

Idk why it's being treated as a brand new console generation because it really shouldn't and doesn't feel like one.

While I do disagree, I respect your opinion.

Unlike Elden Ring and Persona 5 to point back at the previous example which, may still be JRPGs, they play wildly differently from each other in terms of all of these things and overall are vastly different.

DK and Astrobot are not that different, and as such it is fair to compare them

The other has smaller more linear levels with less in them, made up for by the fact that there's more levels.

Ultimately, the only differences between Astro and DK in terms of core gameplay is powerups, character abilities, and level style.

They're still 3d platforming collectathons at heart

Astro Bot, is a 3d platforming collectathon where you go through small levels to collect everything and save all the bots.

DK from what we've seen, you go through huge levels to collect everything in them. The difference is that one has open ended levels with more things in them and the other (1/??

I have never played kingdom come deliverance 2 so I can't actually give an accurate representation to that. But I can easily explain why the comparison between the two games is fair and where their core differences lie, which is presumably where you're trying to get at

That's a weird strawman. You're comparing an action rpg, to a jrpg. These are both 3d platformers.

Apples to Oranges comparison to a Grape and Sour Grape comparison

When these are our two most recent triple a 3d platformers I think it's more than reasonable to compare the two.

DK and Astro are the two newest competitors of this genre for Nintendo and Sony respectively, even if they're not the exact same it's more than fair to compare the two.

The console did just come out and had a direct what? Two months ago? We have a Pokémon Direct next month

Wait why is 3ds in D

Huh. I guess I haven't really noticed all too much. I haven't bought a switch game on release since Tears of the Kingdom

And Z-A is coming out on a Thursday instead of a Friday. That's also pretty weird
