That Which He Does Not Play

[Avoidy]

I have yet to step foot on the island sanctuary on my personal account

on my personal account

This wording in the article is what I found interesting as well. I'd assume that the head dev would have probably at least run around a little bit on the island using test accounts, so to say "he didn't play it" is a bit inaccurate. However, the fact that he can't name a single thing that he likes about it is ... sad, and somewhat telling, in my opinion. It reminds me of cooking simulator on steam. I've clocked about 20 minutes into that game. I've played it. But if you asked me what my favorite part about it was, I wouldn't be able to give you a straight answer because even though I technically objectively played it, I never really sank my teeth into it or anything.

People who were disappointed with island sanctuary might look at this article and feel... something. I didn't expect it to be good because I'm a pessimistic asshole, but I also don't expect Yoshi to personally nolife everything this game has to offer. To me, this news isn't infuriating or anything. But I think some people who were craving island sanctuary and were then let down by it, are definitely going to look at this article and feel like maybe island sanctuary could've gotten the blm treatment if yoshi had actually sank his teeth into it and played it more. Whether or not that's an accurate assessment, no one can say. But it is what it is.

I love threads like these and really don't see why people get so pissed about them. Every time this guy with the car signature makes a thread criticizing the game, people come out mad as hell at him and calling him a troll, like he just personally spat on their grandmother. Personally, I don't feel trolled. But I also don't pretend that gaming studios are my friends, so.

Here's another troll to add to the ignore list. The faster these people identify themselves the better I think.

Yes because he must exhaust the content ASAP for it to be considered a success or indicative of positive reception. He does not, nor should he need to do this.

Simply put, his interests and priorities could lay elsewhere. Doesn't mean the particular content is a failure.

You do realize as part of the testing and validating he has most likely played this content more than the vast majority of players that actually like the content.

There are bad takes, and this thread absolutely takes the cake about it -- Spoon and all.

Aaaah the usual people that have an inability to handle the fact that criticism will always have a counter-criticism, and a seeming inability to handle the mere sight of a disagreement, what is new on these forums.

Yes, other people can play these needless tirades of monologues too.

"that's bait" is not counter criticism.

"that's bait" is not counter criticism.

By that self-same logic, nothing on this thread is really a valid criticism.
