It was really laughable coming off of a 25 hour BOTW binge. Bayonetta 2 is better.

The other stuff you said is awful bait, ALTTP is god-tier game design, Wii U palpably has the best games of any current console, and Nintendo hasn't made any of the mistakes you speak of. It's always the situation that if Nintendo doesn't do what you wanted, you complain, but if they do, you also complain. For you, they will never win. For the world on the other hand, all they've done is provide everyone with some of the best entertainment. It really goes to show how much integrity it takes to be Nintendo, or to even be an ardent follower of Nintendo. When competitors get a game on their platform that is great, I usually buy their consoles and praise them for it (MGS on ps1-3 and JSRF on xbox, amazing games on amazing systems). When Nintendo puts a killer app on their platform, one so impressive that there has never been a game like it before even, what happens? You criticize them anyway. In fact you've doubled down on your criticism oddly enough. I'm pretty sure I've figured out who the fanboys are.

I've played both extensively, there is absolutely no comparison. Nier is good but has major problems with the gameplay (very similar quality situation to other recent games by Platinum such as Transformers Devastation), Bayonetta 2 is well known palpably and established in the action game community as the best action game ever made (subjective opinion, sure, but nier isn't getting unanimous praise at all so the contrast is stark here).

Zelda BOTW on the other hand is better than both games.

You're arguing from an emotional, reactionary, knee-jerk position because you personally hate Nintendo and the people who enjoy their games. I do not personally hate Sony, I just disagree with what they do. I think they are dangerous and self-destructive to the video game industry. Can you imagine having this position? Something that isn't entirely condemning the people you disagree with for your own sense of righteousness? I just don't hate them, I'm not stupid enough to fall into this emotional trap with them. Playstation is a good system and their fans are pretty cool too. Just because it's not as good as Nintendo systems, there's not anything wrong with that. I have said nothing even defammatory about the validity of that platform for games, which is why I have pointed it out as a possible target platform.

My main issue with PS4 is that the square button is too close to the pause button/touch pad. I tried playing Mega Man collection and it made me want to kill myself because I would accidentally pause about 30% of the time I was trying to press the shoot button. Playstation isn't wack. Nobody is wack, they just need to work on their stuff a little better before jumping into a nuanced and honest debate about facts and evidence that back up positions about what is demonstrably a better design.

Can't handle when people give you a hard time for your preference of video game? Suck it up, Nintendo fans have been dealing with this for their entire lives. It's not going to stop, it's going to get worse, and eventually Sony will even release a platform that bombs even worse than PS3 and Vita. There are going to be ups and downs, and there are going to be people who are going to make fun of you for preference. It's petty and tribalistic, yeah, but Nintendo fans have had the worst end of this stick for almost 20-30 years. Now Sony fans are butthurt that the tables are turning a bit, and it's beyond hilarious to watch them unable to receive what they have dished out.

If you go around saying "Zelda isn't that amazing of a game!", what is going to happen is that every time a reasonably mannered human being (someone who probably owns a Wii U and a copy of the game) hears you say it you will lose a ton of credibility points. It's a really really really good game.

There, now you can blame me for derailing the thread even though my original post was completely on-topic. Now back to playing Zelda.

Maybe for the first half hour

You're arguing from an emotional, reactionary, knee-jerk position

Didn't you just make up a line about almost 100% (under 50%) of "successful games" are Nintendo, along with some drivel that the Wii U is a successful console despite being outsold by everything else to laughable degrees with main reason being a terrible library

because you personally hate Nintendo and the people who enjoy their games.

Nah, I just think too many people are far too biased when it comes to them because they're the emotional reactionaries. Nintendo's recent history has had a **** ton of mediocrity, and Nintendo's safety net is the exact opposite of innovation, it's reselling or rehashing old successes. You already stupidly praised them for "innovation" without explaining what that meant. That same innovation that launched the worst selling console of last generation, with oh-so-innovative controller. Or is a new Mario side scroller every year what you meant by innovation?


And BoTW is a solid 8/10.

I do not personally hate Sony, I just disagree with what they do. I think they are dangerous and self-destructive to the video game industry. Can you imagine having this position? Something that isn't entirely condemning the people you disagree with for your own sense of righteousness? I just don't hate them, I'm not stupid enough to fall into this emotional trap with them.

How dare they produce successful video games and consoles to a changing market. That's the real innovation, the kind that makes money. And I dunno, you sound like the one with a really warped sense of righteousness. I'm just calling you out on blatant lies and general overhyping of an above average product. I don't hate either company, nor do I like them. They're companies. They just exist. But you certainly are stupid enough to fall into an emotional trap.

Just because it's not as good as Nintendo systems

Aren't they objectively better machines that routinely ship more games, with the Wii being a fluke because of its party games, which was also the first and last time "innovation" worked out?

My main issue with PS4 is that the square button is too close to the pause button/touch pad.

Yeah sony controllers have always been **** tbf, gamecube and dreamcast had it right

Man I haven't even owned a Sony console since the PSP so I don't really know where you're pulling this Sonyfan **** from, but Nintendo fans have been dealing with this because they're mostly obsessive weirdos who think their detached, mediocre company that pumps a lot of garbage and a few gems is any different than the other detached, mediocre companies that pump out a lot garbage and few gems. At least irrational Sonyfans have the courtesy to stay out of sight and write Kingdom Hearts fanfic.

If you go around saying "Zelda isn't that amazing of a game!", what is going to happen is that every time a reasonably mannered human being (someone who probably owns a Wii U and a copy of the game) hears you say it you will lose a ton of credibility points. It's a really really really good game.

It is a pretty good game but it is by no stretch of the imagination the game that it is being celebrated as. It's gameplay is nice and smooth but it's also very simple to an almost insulting degree because it never threatens the player with any complexity, and while the story is leagues deeper than the typical Zelda game it's still a very shallow and one dimensional one beyond the opening. It's a good Zelda game. It's a good game in general. But it is not perfect, and it's not close to perfect. It's certainly one of the best open world games that I've stopped giving a **** about to be released this decade, but it's not the best by any means. It's shallow. Shallow in mechanics, shallow in story, and shallow in scope. Which is fine, plenty of great games are shallow. I couldn't begin to tell you what Gauntlet is about, but I still love that piece of ****. But if a game is going to be praised as jesus in a box it better off something more than "the usual but a bit better". So yeah, if one of the six people in the world who own a Wii U wanna come at me, be my guest.


And Nier is waaaaaay better.

[Kamaeru]

Wii was an amazing system and it has better hardcore games than PS3 / 360 which are failed platforms. You have emotional triggered reactions to the memories of when the wee-wee jokes weren't getting through to all your friends and they all bought the console that was supposedly "not mature". Motion controls were innovative. Many games used them in innovative ways, such as Metroid Prime 3. People have fun with it.

When I make the argument that Wii U has better games than PS4, that's because it's palpable. What even is there on PS4 that compares to the quality level of Bayonetta 2, Pikmin 3, Super Mario Maker, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Xenoblade X, etc?

They literally have no games on a similar tier of quality whatsoever, I'm sorry but Fallout isn't cutting it compared to BOTW and Skyrim is beyond sad.

Want to play the funnest and most innovative new online multiplayer shooter game complete with match lobby times taking around ~5 seconds and zero server lag on your Plebstation/Xbox tier platform? Too bad, they don't have Splatoon on those or even on Steam. If you want to play that you need Wii U or Switch. Honestly, I don't even see a comparison here, Wii U annihilates the other platforms when it comes to quality content that is refreshing to play that I actually enjoy. I get if it's not your personal preference, but Nintendo has consistently amazed me in recent years contrary to your claim that they make mediocre games. I agree, Mario Party is lame, and I never buy those games. They sell like 50 million copies each though and lots of people enjoy them, while Zelda and Metroid games often only sell around 2 million each.

The fact that Nintendo even bothers making the traditional games you're criticizing them for making is actually a blessing they give us, because financially they don't have a huge amount of incentive to do it. They do it for the people like me who actually greatly appreciate them for it, and I assume it's because Kyoto-based business philosophy is greatly concerned with the subjects of honor and integrity.

BTW this thread is super hilarious and entertaining to me now. I really wanted to talk about the actual subject of this thread bahahaha

Metroid Prime 3. People have fun with it.

"as of March 2008, 1.31 million copies of the game were sold worldwide."
"by January 2008, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare had sold more than 7 million copies worldwide"

Wow it's almost like innovation is proven completely meaningless, and Nintendo's true success, like IW's, is in rehashing successful properties.

Yeah I wonder why the Wii U was a flop then

No arguments there

Sorry I'll just play Overwatch, "innovation" is, again, a completely meaningless qualifier, and "fun" is subjective. I'm glad it took Nintendo three consoles to get passable online working though.

Honestly, I don't even see a comparison here, Wii U annihilates the other platforms when it comes to quality content that is refreshing to play that I actually enjoy.

See, that's fine, that's subjective. But if you're trying to pitch a Nintendo console as successful, especially the Wii, the only way to back it up is the party games. For every Metroid Prime 3 there was a Red Steel. Remember how "innovative!!" that was? It was terrible, and they had to update the controllers just to make them work like everyone expected them to. "Innovative" "hardcore" games hardly use innovation as more than a gimmick, where the game would be just as or more enjoyable without it. No More Heroes was my favorite new IP when it launched on the Wii, but I can safely say that it's handled better anywhere else. Metroid is, without a doubt, my favorite franchise, especially the Prime games. And 3 is great! But don't brag about it's innovation when I can name off rattle off a handful of other games without motion controls that sold so much more that it's hardly a footnote. Fun and successful are completely unrelated. My favorite game is ****ing E.G.G. and I don't even know if it pushed four digits worth of sales in America, but it's fun as ****. Having fun with something isn't a sign of success.

They do it for the people like me who actually greatly appreciate them for it, and I assume it's because Kyoto-based business philosophy is greatly concerned with the subjects of honor and integrity.

They it do it because they need to pay yakuza debts, probably

The best thing Nintendo has going for them is that they're the only ones who still believe in local co-op.
