GOD I Don't care about the quality of the other announcements now (though they have been solid), new Castlevania makes it all worth it to me.

if fighting games having single-player content was enough to make the big companies keep letting them get made we'd still be getting actually good Tales Of games

I was thinking about that boss fight against Leon last time I played and how I'm actually completely okay with it being such a difficulty spike because the game pretty firmly established across its entire runtime that Leon is, in fact, That Dude

sometimes I feel like the gen 2/HG&SS level curve complaints half come from people not realizing you can take down Red pretty comfortably with a team in the 60's even though his shit's like level 80+
(the Kanto wild Pokemon being super low is still kinda wack though lol)

LRT really game genres are too visually categorized anyway. Xenoblade is still listed as an Action RPG on many sites but anyone who actually learned the combat will tell you there's no action gameplay going on. People still call ATB turn based. No one wants to call DMC a beat em up because it's 3D.

I think this is the endgame of making things while believing there's an attention economy you have to beat everyone else in. It stops being about honing a craft or making something that has intrinsic value to you and starts being about how you're much better at gaming the system than everyone else.
The whole article is repulsive but this passage is at the core of it. She has no interest in writing books, she wants to win some kind of competition that nobody entered

personally, this sort of active "observation, learning, and adjustment" process is why I enjoy playing difficult games, rather than the frequently assumed reasons of "bragging rights" or "figurative masochism"
dunno if it applies to other people who like hard games but I can imagine it does, maybe?
