what would an okami stage be

i'd want the haunted ship but they'd probably just go with the starting village because they're lazy its more iconic

 

[Jovahexeon Joranvexeon]

I wished we could of gotten Kumatora as an echo for Lucas, but that's not happening.

Perhaps maybe as DLC later down the line. Obviously not during this Season pass....or maybe outside the Season Pass.

I can’t say much about Okami, but this is a theme we’ve seen. Most games have the World 1-1 as a stage to a fault - you end up with too many similar stages (Sonic) and/or not enough boss stages (Mario).

 

[Jovahexeon Joranvexeon]

yall know that leak was posted here a while ago and everyone went "probably fake" right

What leak?

 

[DarthEnderX]

It's just not a very good point? Not everyone knows the Tomb Raider's name is Lara Croft, but they know Tomb Raider.

I'm actually pretty sue that "Lara Croft" is more well known than "Tomb Raider".

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Any leak without Amaterasu is fake.

inb4 a leak with Ammy shows up just to mess with us Ammy fans

maybe with the advent of her new games, but pre reboot? Idk

okami has a lot of unique locations and going with the generic (but still very pretty) starting area would be the worst choice

Blo my god, that haunted ship. I remeber getting spooked by it on the wii, then I got to it on switch and was spooked x10

 

[Ura]

maybe i'm lucky but i've never actually met anyone who has ever done this

I remember way back in 2000-2001 when my siblings would play OoT, my sister called Link "Zelda" when we first started playing.

Aside from that, everyone i've seen always knows to call Link by his actual name. Like i've pretty much never seen him called Zelda aside from what I mentioned above.

 

[Pakky]

Lowkey, if Lara Croft wore a baseball cap she's be a Pokémon trainer.

I won't compare Tetris sales with Minecraft (The straw MC fans hangging on). I really don't see MC sales proving a thing. It's a modern sale that used modern advertising methods to reach more people than it would've been possible Tetris days... people who became interested in gaming because of games like Tetris. To me Tetris is a legend, a pillar of gaming, something that was there and helped built the foundation of games interest.. MC sales are a cheque in MS account, doesn't prove establishment to me.
That concept of "it sold good.. then it's better than" brings out how truly superficial the game is.

They seem to be emphasizing one of her names a bit more than the other.

Even if you ignore that it's an awfully emotional way of thinking... by your logic, Tetris is the most superficial game of all times.

I know that we are talking about Minecraft's sales and active users.

But i am curious about this: has Roblox decreased in popularity?

"I like Tetris so its sales prove how good it is, I don't like Minecraft so its sales prove nothing." Was that what you were going to type?

>the success of an indie game initially made by one guy that rose to prominence through nothing but word of mouth over the course of nearly 5 years before MS bought it up in 2014 is just the product of soulless corporate marketing

Here's the thing....
Like Tetris, people have become interested in gaming thanks to Minecraft. Kids these days, likely got into gaming, through Minecraft.
I don't see how your argument works,

So, just to give my two cents in response.

Saying that Tetris got people interested in gaming as a contrast to Minecraft, as if Minecraft didn't do the exact same thing for another generation, is disingenuous. Further, while you're absolutely right that Minecraft was sold in an era where far more people had access to and interest in video games, you forego two very important facts that counter that point: 1) It has significantly more competition for the spotlight than Tetris did in 1984, and 2) it still outsold all of said competition. By an incredibly large margin.

While sales don't necessarily indicate how good a game is, they do indicate its popularity and, in combination with pop culture presence and overall staying power, can be used to judge its cultural influence. Minecraft has nine times the active player base per month right now, ten years post-release, than the total amount of The Legend of Zelda games sold all time. Microsoft purchased the rights to Minecraft for more money than Disney bought Star Wars. Minecraft has its very own international convention. Just for Minecraft. By itself.

If none of this "proves establishment", I have no idea what possibly could.

Well, then let's wait 20 more years to compare MC sales to whatever will be the "sold better than MC" game.

My local Wendy's all don't give honey for some reason anymore. Which is sad since I loved dipping their fries and nuggets in honey when I ate there

If Steve gets in, Sakurai better do what he did with and give him an unnecessary close up on his face while he stares lifelessly at us for a victory animation.
