To be fair they both just got new games.
I was 11 when the PS2 first launched in October of 2000. By the time Sly Cooper first came out, I was in my teens as well. I get you, but I was not a edgy team. I would still play m-rated games when I got the chance, but they would have to be good or fun first. There is plenty of games I played where they looked "cartoony or kiddy", but they end up being way more fun or more mature by comparison or in the long run. Gunstar Superheroes, one of the more kid looking games on the GBA, has some of the darkest story you'll ever see, if you bother to take on the harder difficulties. The story changes based on what difficulty you're playing, with hard mode giving the full story for each respective character. I was 16 at the time when that game launched.
*shrugs* I mean if the game involves a significant amount of climbing as a primary mechanic, it's stupid to NOT include a grappling hook. People that actually do lots of climbing use these things called tools and rope all the time, to make climbing easier.
It's a staple item for most traditional cultural sneaky types (read: ninjas), and to NOT have one would be seen as pretty fucking weird given the job you are trying to do (namely climb things quickly and easily).
You can blame the Batman games for that. This is nothing new. In 2012 and 2013, it was a period of first and third person shooters that required you to have a bow and arrow weapon set. I know that Tomb Raider reboot and The Last Of Us really made it popular.
I was already 16 just at launch of that system. So you know high school didn't allow for "kid shit". Now i don't care, Rift Apart is easily one of the best 2021 games so take that to the bank!
Don't get me wrong, I had plenty of idiotic and try hard edgy people in middle school and and high school. But most people at my age, especially during my high school time, most were indifferent to what you play. You had your GTA and mad junkies, but most people were cool over what you play with. Now there might have been some curiosity, but nearly everyone let it slide or just didn't care. My older brother's high school experience was really similar. If somebody had a problem with what he was playing, he would just say "I don't give a fuck! You paid for my game? Oh, you didn't, fuck you! Stay out of my damn business."

Gameboy games are something at least. GBC I think are much the same IIRC, but with color applied.Report: It Sure Sounds Like Game Boy Games Are Coming To Switch Online
Forget Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, I’m playing the original Pokémon Blue

Who knows? The Unreal Engine 4 & 5 are a million times better than UE3, but each have their own issues. But it matters how EA/Bioware use it, actually spend time on developing the game, and not rushing it! Ya sillies!

Whatever problems Andromeda had, its engine wasn't among them.Mass Effect 5 might use Unreal Engine instead of Frostbite
For Mass Effect 5, EA and BioWare are strongly considering replacing Frostbite with Unreal Engine, according to multiple sources.
An engine that was primarily made for an FPS game doesn't really work with a third-person RPG? Oh wow, who didn't see that coming? /s
In all seriousness, I do hope this means we'll get a quality Mass Effect game..... right?

You would think the AAA industry would cut back a little bit, but no, "the audience always demands that graphics be groundbreaking!". AA and indie games show how full of shit that thinking is.
Ever since Ono left, I highly doubt anyone at Capcom is going to bother with Deep Down. Capcom has a lot of new blood, and while they're doing everything they can to improve Capcom, none of them have clear interest in bringing it back or revamping the game. DD2 may happen since Hideaki Itsuno did everything he wanted for Devil May Cry 5.
I think the real problem is that the AAA industry thinks that top of the line graphics MUST be expensive, when AA Studios have shown that you can make beautiful games with a fraction of the budget. Senua's Sacrifice for example. Or A Plague Tale Innocence.
Exactly why I had those quotation marks. It's them trying to justify why all games have to be expensive or how they can't afford to overhaul a series that uses constant copy pasta games. EA and Koei-Tecmo are the biggest contenders of this.
