>>36504874>>36504866"It's for kids" is honestly just an apologist buzzword phrase at this point, it's not even an argument nor a valid excuse anymore, period. Like you said, there's plenty of good games that were also for kids, but said developers didn't make the titles absolutely fucking brain dead and devoid of content to make things easier and less immersive.
I don't know if it's Masuda entirely because even GF was bothered by the retarded shit he cooked up with LGE, or if GF is just as big of a culprit, but why do they feel the need to make everything a safety net, railroad the single player experience, and hold our hands the entire way through nowadays? Even a basic child could sweep through a game like Breath of the Wild with relative ease. I don't know, but if Masuda continues this shit for every proceeding generation and makes it worse and worse, things won't be pretty.
