Still looks better than the last game’s characters:




I really don’t get why they ditched the character design from the original game, honestly. It was leagues ahead of either sequel.
I'd forgotten how ugly this game is.

A lot of the environments are really really pretty and it’s clear that the bulk of the design effort went into them instead of the characters, NPCs, monsters etc

It's insane to me how much of that game consisted of running away from very high level enemies. I shouldn't have to understand the "stealth mechanics" of a goddamn RPG just so I don't get instantly murdered because this quest needs me to run through an area where half the enemies are my level, the other half are thirty higher, and they're all hostile.

As an aside I really hope Prime 4 gets the same Leveled Up Nintendo treatment as BotW and Odyssey and is equally groundbreaking and incredible and not just sort of good like Samus Returns.

nintendo coaxed a diamond out of a turd factory with mario+rabbids, so theres reason enough to be optimistic i think
