I don't know if I'd call Death Stranding niche. It looks like it had a large budget, a huge name attached to it in Hideo Kojima, as well as Guillermo del Toro and other actors (yes I know he specifically is famous for directing), and a decent amount of marketing.
Shenmue III though, yes. Very niche game.
I didn't know you were also in Canada. Anyway, what you described is exactly what I do in the U.S. anyway, so not much different that way.
Looks like it doesn't follow the games really, but I do like the aesthetic. I'd read that if it were in English, for sure. I'd buy an art book of it in any langauge.
But is life worth living without games being $20 cheaper? Hmmm. This is a pickle.
I rented KH1 not long ago, and I enjoyed it, but not as much as I was hoping to.
I'm watching The Simpsons on it; just signed up for free trial.
I'll rent before buying. Genuine question: is the health care/increased social welfare worth the taxes you pay?
I feel more or less the same and that's my point. As long as they tell you why the rating is what it is, they're doing their job.
Maybe I've become more sensitive about this from grading student writing and hearing the most asinine arguments about why they deserve an A ...
Probably means I would love it, honestly.
