It was a solid game but the whole motion control was a double edge sword and felt it held it back in other aspects, I'd put it in 7th place for the franchise. I just Can't remember a Zelda that wasn't open world, you would choose the section you wanted to go to or needed to and the exploration was really unnecessary as everything was pretty straightforward. Story was what this game mainly pushed. The motion controlls for the most did a good job and I can't remember feeling it holding me back and making errors, other than girham battles which were pretty frustrating, shaking the controller was obviously the best ridiculous strategy, something you want to avoid for motion controls is your best strategy being shake and wag for your life while looking like a cheerleader

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
