except for tumblr

also, donkey kong country returns was a COMPLETE WASTE of retro's waning talent

mario kart 7 even more so

it was really boring and short and i honestly felt like it was completely pointless.

it's not really the length i'm bothered by

it's the fact that it contained not a shred of new information

it was merely a well-animated version of the very same story we'd been given in the weeks before the last of us even launched, through the prequel comic books

the dlc should have been something new rather than merely a 1:1 reenactment of something we already knew

[spoiler=tlou spoils]

at the very least, they could have given us the satisfaction of seeing how ellie and riley coped with fate

and the absolute most interesting thing they could have done with that story is allow the player to witness as ellie came to the realiziation that she wasn't changing at the same rate as riley, and then deal with the emotional consequences of that

instead it just cuts to black with barely any more than a 'yep we're ed lol'

it's just so redundant and seems so unfinished[/spoiler]

i'm not saying the dkcr games are bad

but they're barely anything more than basic sidescrolling platformers

you know, the sort of game nintendo itself could have whipped up in a week

so why did retro specifically have to develop dkcr, when their talent could instead have been leveraged to do something a little bit more unique than a standard sidescroling platformer

they had well proven themselves to be more capable than to be relegated to that basic assignment

which is why i say that simple projects like dkcr and mario kart, good as they may be, are a waste of the unique talent retro once had

i will humbly disagree, the DKCR duology are the two of the best platformers nintendo has produced in decades and wouldn't be so if they weren't developed by retro IMO

like compare NSMB to DKCR. judge, i rest my case.

^this.

Honestly, if Nintendo handled dkcr, it probably would have ended up just as unimaginative as nsmbu/2

agreed

[Kalahari Inkantation]

maybe you're right

i should probably actually play the dkcr games lol

but i still feel like much of retro's time is wasted under miyamoto's bootheel
