I mean, look at Nintendo. Obviously aggressive legal tactics aside, they make some damn fun games because they know that gameplay matters more than graphics.
Oh don't dismiss that they're also graphics and programming wizards. They don't work with the cutting edge, but they run circles around anyone on the lower end, making games look and run better on potato hardware is no easy feat.
I'd argue the optimization required to make something like that happen is significantly more skillful than all of the crap AAA stuff that takes 250gb and requires shader compilations every boot.
What a group of Wizards. Xenoblade games are great jrpgs but i just cant get over how bad they look at times and performance is often times horrendous. This is only good as long as you don't care.
I blame Toyota for how poorly my Chevy ran.
The Xenoblade series is made by a developer that is owned by Nintendo. If Nintendo doesn't want people to rag on their products, they should make them better.
Your ability to connect disconnected concepts is legendary. Good luck with your life lol
Does Microsoft make Halo? Halo's developer is owned by Microsoft, just as Xenoblade's developer is owned by Nintendo.
