The final boss thing is just unlikely to be something you would happen to try out, so i agree with that.
That's interesting because I actually do not recall the Cave Johnson line in game because I sorta tuned out a lot of the Cave Johnson lines on my first playthrough. So when I saw how the final scene played out, I sorta just took it as "well screw it, this is a desperate situation, why not just try anything and see what happens?" kind of decision. I didn't see that action as being foreshadowed by an earlier line but it still made sense to me.
Basically, I think it makes sense for Chell to try that out even if she couldn't hear Cave talk about that thing.
No shame to anyone who bought a switch 2. My partner got one during pre-sales and is incredibly happy to have gotten one, and I feel so happy for him that he gets to have some joy in his life with it. I wish you the same joy.
But I just can't get into it. I didn't grow up with nintendo so the properties really don't mean much to me. And now, I just don't think I can swallow paying hundreds of dollars to start, then another hundred dollars to get games that seemingly play the same way as they did in the last release, plus a yearly subscription for online play. You may not see what you purchased the same way, and I'm glad that it's meaningful to you even if I can't find the same meaning in it -- it's good that there exists something for everyone's niche.
I don't see why this needs to be a competition. Are there really people out there who were about to get a steam deck but decided not to in favour of a switch 2? I feel like switch owners are well aware that it's a Nintendo machine and theyre not gonna be playing a lot of their favourite out-of-franchise games on it. That's what they expect and thats what they'll likely get.
