Because Elden Ring is about as far from BOTW as you can possibly be. It's not inspired by it at all.

Elden Ring has absolutely nothing in common with BOTW.

The whole "exiting the cave to reveal the world" is Socrates cave shit. Old as the hills.

I don't think the NES is that interesting. Who said it is? It was just another machine that came out, had some games, got outdated, and then was replaced by something else just like all the rest.

The SNES was the most "special" of the Nintendo machines in that it hit the sweet spot where the games were sophisticated enough to be really interesting yet still simple enough to be made by small teams and thus not end up as run by committee corporate turds.

Because once you go 3D, you might as well just go modern 3D.

It's why, amusingly, the PS1 game that is probably the most highly regarded today is a 2D game (Symphony of the Night).

3D games just age like milk and people have no interest in old ones.

Sink or swim. I think it's actually a really good way to weed out do nothings.

When he can't make a video shorter than 50 minutes, figuring it out for yourself is a pretty serious time investment, but whatever.

What's hilarious is that if you actually look at the code he's written for it, it's a horrible ball of spaghetti. The whole thing is a scam. Just because HE says "this is bad code" doesn't mean it's bad, and just because he wrote it, it doesn't mean it's good. Most people would find the clusterfuck he wrote unmaintainable, and the funny thing is that it doesn't even really DO ANYTHING YET.

That's not true. He works on it offline, and honestly, even if he did only work on it 2 hours per week, it's STILL not as far along as it should be by now for a supposed game development "guru." You got hoodwinked.

Tell that to World of Warcraft. Really is hilarious just how goddamned clueless most of the comments in this thread are.

Actually the funny thing is that Braid's CPU usage was always kind of high for what it was doing. Not sure about The Witness.

The emperor definitely doesn't have any clothes though when it comes to either one of them.

I genuinely don't think game pads work fine even on Windows. The XInput thing really screwed it all up.

Somehow 7.1 HDMI audio from a home theater receiver is more exotic than external USB audio.

Didn't hear anything about a variable refresh monitor.

I find it hilarious that people even entertain the idea that the only roadblock for MacOS is that it only works on Apple hardware. Gamers would NOT want an OS run by those psychopaths. MacOS is junk.

And Valve/Steamdeck is really just creating even more Windows dependence. Because of Proton everyone just assumes you don't need to make cross platform games anymore, so game devs are just happy making Windows only games.

He doesn't just work on it on-stream or on video. I remember seeing some video a long time ago where he literally talked about what he was doing with it offline in between videos, so there you go. So much for your point.

What are you talking about? Neither one of them has ever shipped a AAA game.
