this narrative always triggers the fucc out of me; trying to shift all the blame to Microsoft when Rare themselves were leaving before the acquisitions and were struggling to keep up.

Well when Microsoft ruined Bethesda and Obsidian, we gotta think Microsoft ruins the whole industry even if they didn't get legal ownership of a company because just being in the same industry with Microsoft is enough!!! lolol

The company that at one point was swallowing the world of gaming whole. Whatever it was, them flying to close too the Sun, or outside influences, we can't deny that companies like them are rare (heh) to come by in the current gaming landscape. I miss the times of seemingly endless progress that came with each of their new projects, at least a game of DK64 can last long enough to forget this feeling a while lol

They made Star Fox Adventures, which automatically puts them on my hate list.

C'mon man, it's a good game. The problem was that RARE was in rush due Microsoft deal.

No, it isn't. It's a poor man's Ocarina of Time, but without everything that made that game good.
