Yeah smashing everything just became a chore to me at one point, especially as someone who likes to be a bit of a completionist. And as I said, I just hate how devalued main collectibles tend to feel now. Like I understand the frustrations people had with DK64 but at least the bananas felt earned

Like I understand why they tried this direction in Breath of the Wild and Odyssey but I feel like they've devalued collectibles items, upgrades, and progression in most of their main series at this point so much and I think it's definitely hurting some games/series more than helping

I mostly agree honestly. I enjoyed it for what it was at the time I played it but it definitely wasn't what I was hoping for out of a new 3D DK game. Personally I'm hoping Nintendo gets out of its obsession with trying to "open world" all of their games soon

If they had been no votes instead of yes votes that would have brought the yes count down to 213 and the no up to 214 so yes it would have made the difference- would have failed by 1 vote

🤣

Always appreciate seeing them and you!

1000%. Honestly even most YouTube channels I follow are the same for me. All my TV's are set up with Google/Android TV and how I watch 99% of my content
