Bad Company 2 was fun as hell and it had lots of destructive environments. I’d argue that was part of the fun.

I was watching that during the event and I immediately brought up Super Mario 64. Guess I wasn’t the only one to think that.

Of course there’s middle ground. You just don’t see it much with AAA games because, as you mentioned, it’s all or nothing with those.

But don’t forget about indies. They comfortably fit in this middle ground because they’re not afraid to take risks.

I’m trying to get back into it for exercise reasons, but I’m keeping away from the gross and greedy take on Dynamax stuff. Feels better to ignore those.
