Wow i think i'll never understand why people like this game so much. It's a great game don't get me wrong but i can't understand how most people on my friendslist have sunk hundreds of hours in this.

I swear if someon finds a way to complai about this...

@Medic_alert Yeah i understand that but i think people are getting frustrated a little to fast. I mean for every mistake they make ther is a few awesome things they do, especially awesome games. I mean i was a fan of nintendo my whole life and for me personally nintendo is at its all time best with the switch.
I don't know i just think it's weird how you can get so angry at a company if they don't do what you want. No one forces you to buy these things. But of course you should criticize them if you think they're doing something wrong that's in their own interest. I just don't get that anger and hate.

@Medic_alert Of course it goes both ways and i am in no way defending all the other stuff nintendo pulled with this online service. But come on, this controller has half the buttons of the normal one and is in almost any regard inferior to the joy-cons and the pro controller. I can't imagine someone playing a newer game like splatoon or smash with such a controller for a longer period of time.

I just don't get how the fantastic switch system with its amazing library made so much new fans but one stupid mistake from nintendo and everyone's back to them being the worst company ever. But hey i think that's just the internet where everyone has to be hyperbolic.

Allright i think people are slowly getting a little hyperbolic regarding this service. I could understand the problems everyone had at the beginning with the service but now it seems that people just want to complain for the sake of complaining. This was really obvious. If you don't like it don't buy it but don't act entitled.

What? Why are all the people complaining again? I can understand it on all the other things regarding nintendo online but this seems pretty fair.

@Balchad Ah okay i suppose i'm on the other end of the spectrum. Well actually i can enjoy both. I think the more objective way fits these news outlets better like nintendolife or ign because there is just too much people to keep track of.
I do however think they should have had a guy make this review that actually likes these games.

I just think your wording with "credibility" was a little bit off.

@Balchad I don't think so. I think a reviewer should be clear about their preferences and biases. So if one doesn't like rpgs he should tell that to his audience. And if one doesm't like overly sexualized games because it conflicts with his political opinion he should state that too.
I agree though that he should have more talked about what the game actually is and the more technical aspects.
But i don't thinl he should change his review score if he truly didn't like it.
If you don't agree with his opinions then watch another reviewer. You should find one with the same biases and preferences than you to best know what you will like.
That's my take on it.
Videogamedunkey from youtube made a really good video on this. Check it out.

@Balchad Do you even know what credibility is?
Would you rather have him lie about what he thought of the game?
He clearly stated what is political opinion towards this game his and thus gave it a bad review score.
If you don't like his opinions then don't read his reviews. After all reviews are subjective.

@Equinox What a childish behaviour:
"I buy a product because some people don't like what it stands for."

I bet you also buy the new doom game because a joke in the trailer offended 2 or 3 liberals.

@Rayquaza2510 Allright then tell me why would you buy the game if not for the sexual stimulation. No it's not a porn game but it's pretty explicit on what it wants to convey.

@Razer Yeah i understand you.

But my point was also that your assertion that ea did this to not offend a minority that doesn't even play their game is highly unlikely. Since we are talking about probably the greediest and most anticonsumer corporation in the gaming industry.
I just have a problem with people making everything out to be a SJW conspiracy. I think it makes you stubborn and ruins discussion.

@Razer Do you even read my posts? I said agai and again that there are some criticisms to be made but that you are being hyperbolic.

So what if its the 5th installment? Can't companies try something different? I mean look at COD they started as a realistic shooter and then ended up in the zombie and ghosts realm.

I'm not saying the backlash isn't justified. I think there are lots of people with a good reason to criticise ea for this decision but i also think there are lots of people being sexist and trying to excuse their behaviour.

1. I took the example of Belgium to show that ea doesn't care what their consumers think about them. They will go to court to be able to keep their anticonsumer behaviour. My point is that if they are willing to do that, why would they change a game just because they feared backlash. I think you misunderstood me there.
2. I say it one more time. There is criticism to be made. As simple as that. And what's your point here? I never said you shouldn't criticise them i said you should think about WHY you have a problem with this.
3. Yeah that's just another conspiracy theory. Look you think this SJW thing is a lot stronger than it actually is. To say that the CEO of a huge company left it because of the backlash to a game? come on that's ridiculous and you know it.

What what what? I never said that i think people that play battlefield are small minded. Stop putting words in my mouth and actually read my posts thank you.

@Razer Yeah but that's the problem with your thinking. See you have no idea why ea put a woman in this game. You assuma because they didn't want to offend a group that isn't even playing their game.
But do you really think ea out of all companies would change their games just because they fear they're gonna get some backlash? Of course not, just look at what they're doing in Belgium.
They are a business, they don't care about agendas. If they THINK a certain change in their games will benefit their business they will do it. So 3 possible reasons they made this change:
1. They think it's more profitable with it
2. Someone there actually really wanted it and thought it was a good idea or
3. Because they don't want to offend a certain minority of far-leftists that don't even play their game.
I'll let you figure out which one is the most probable.

I mean there are points to be made in this discussion but you are just overly hyperbolic.
-This change in the game is not rewriting history: Putting a cyborg in WW2 clearly makes this an alternate timeline and people know that. You don't see people trashing AC because they know that's clearly not what happened.
-There would still be some backlash if they kept the cyborg stuff but made the person a man. There are still sexist people if you like it or not. I mean in a male-centric community there is obviously going to be sexism when the industry tries to open up to woman. I mean a few years ago i would have had a problem with this myself. And i don't see everyone changing with me.

@Razer You know i never said that it can't be good for a game to be historically accurate. I'm just saying if they had made this person a man instead but kept the cyborg stuff the outrage would be far far smaller.
I just think a lot of these people complaining use the "historically accurate" excuse to just not want a woman in their favourite game. Of course there are people that find historical accuracy important but i think not that many.
And concerning your "SJW crap has infested all of our lives" maybe ask yourself WHY that's a problem to you. I mean i used to be like you and really take offense just seeing a gay couple featured in a piece of media. But with time i learnt that there really is no problem with that. There are people different than me and giving them their time to shine is not making my live any worse.
And i'm not saying there are no problems with far left ideologies (of course they are) but a lot of people will call the smallest change in their media "forcing SJW agenda down our throats".
Just try to have a more differentiated view on these topics and maybe give one of those "SJW"s a shot and actually listen to him.

@Razer And here i thought battlefield build up its reputation by being an actual good game. But since this inclusion historical accuracy is apparently all battlefield ever was about.

@Cobalt Fair enough.

But there are still lots of people that prefer this artstyle over pixelart. Just read the comments under any trailer of a game with pixel art. And i've heard more people liking the new art style than prefering the old one. I myself am a little torn.
I just think the game feels differently with each art style. Not necesseraly better or worse.

@Cobalt What are you on about? I mean i didn't like the demo either but i won't make it out to be the game having a "big problem". Your points just seem nitpicky and a lot of fans like the new artstyle from what i've read. And are you really sure that pixel art takes more time than this art style? I'm pretty sure that's not the case. If you don't like it move on and don't act like your opinion of the game is the true opinion and everyone who thinks differently are dumb and nostalgia-driven.

@Ryzaerian Ah okay. Missed that apparently

@Ryzaerian Was it promised though? Can't remember anyone from nintendo saying that cloud saves will be available.

Wow can people stop overreacting to everything?? When nintendo does something good it's the best company of all time but if they do something remotely bad they "don't get with the times" are "so backwards" are "scummy" or whatever. Sure this is a bad thing and you should critizise it. But stop with this hyperboöic attitude please

I hope this is a lesson to all the people that got so angry at nintendo because of a rumour. At least wait till the rumours are confirmed before ranting.

Lol why are people freaking out about this?
It is also releasing on other consoles and square enix already showed us that they are willing to support the switch. I mean they have their one division for making switch games now. Some people somehow think having more games is somehow worse than having none at all.

@BigKing Of course i have players disconnecting during a match but isn't that on them? I mean my Wifi is not THAT good and i really rarely have connectivity issues. And funnily enough i had a lot more problems in splatoon for the wii u.

@BigKing 200 hours of splatoon gameplay and only 2 disconnects. But yeah.. bad nintendo!

@saintayu Yeah maybe my wording was a bit bad there. I mean that they don't lie about how good or bad a game is. It's just that if they can say something good about a game related to nintendo they will say it. That's not a bad thing, that's what i and most other readers (i suppose) stick around for. However that doesn't mean that i don't want them criticising nintendo. Of course they should, with no criticising praising has no value.

@Gene Of course they do. A playstation oriented site will also praise Ps exclusives. That's quite obvious. This doesn't necesseraly mean they are biased, it just means they would rather let a guy write an article that prefers the nintendo exclusive than the one that prefers the ps exclusive.

@Yorumi I agree with that sentiment. Isn't that what is happening with music?

@KingdomHeartsFan Yeah i do think you should emulate a game if you're sure it is never gonna be rereleased again. But i still think that you shouldn't be angry at nintendo for not giving you these games. They gave you them on the original console and they don't owe you anything after that. You get for what you pay. Again no problem with emulating in these situations imo but don't be so entitled when you don't get what you want (not reffering to you of course).

@KingdomHeartsFan Well there is always the chance that these games rerelease on the virtual console you never know. I don't have a problem with emulating games per se, if you owned a game and broke it sure go on and emulate it. Or if a game will probably never be rereleased again because of copyright issues or something like that then sure go on and emulate it. But please don't act like you are on the moral high ground when doing these kind of things and don't act like nintendo are idiots because they are trying to crack down on these things.
And by the way these sites they closed down didn't sell only games that would never be rereleased again. A lot of these games you can buy on the wiiu or 3ds vc. I mean just look at the site in the article. Selling Cuphead and other new titles, this has nothing to do with preservation, this is just wrong.

@saintayu Yeah they may not make money off of these games but that still doesn't change the fact that they are still taking away sales from the developer. And of course do i think that making money off of this situation is even worse but that doesn't change the fact that you are still stealing someon else's property and selling it for free.
And of course nintendolife is making money off of this sitaution that's their job? Reporting on stuff you know.
But you know, they are not taking someone else's work and distributing it for free. They are actually doing work on their own.

@saintayu What are you even talking about?
Even if they really don't make a single penny from this (which i highly doubt) they are still distributing something for free that other people have worked for. How can you not see a problem with that?

And what? Can you really not see a difference between what nintendolife is doing amd what an ILLEGAL rom-site is doing?

Of course everyone decides for themselves what they think is wrong and what is right but so do you? what does that even have to do with this discussion.

@KingdomHeartsFan The difference is that someone bought a single copy for full price and sells a SINGLE copy to the next person. In most cases the guy selling the copy doesn't profit from it because they sell it for a lower price most of the time.

Now if a guy buys a game and makes it available to the public online he sells multiple copies of a game he only bought one of. And of course this is worse for a company because it means that with a single copy multiple people can have the game simultaneously which means less sales. And it also means that the guy with the rom can make profit out of something he did nothing for.

I see a pretty big difference here.

@saintayu No real argument? These people are taking intellectual property from other people that have worked for it and selling it for their benefit. How is that no "real argument" against these people?

@saintayu What? Just look at any comment section regarding this topic. Half the people are angry and saying that nintendo is in the wrong for doing this.

And yeah i do think people defending other people stealing intellectual property and selling it for their own profit are stupid. And if that's "pushing an agenda" then so be it.

@saintayu Yes they have to because most people are too dumb to realize that it is in fact illegal. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it legal. As simple as that

@BigKing This game has a 89/100 on metacritic. What's your point?

Could someone tell me how hard and how lengthy this game is? really interested in it but i have way too much to play right now.

@CroRock What are you talking about??
Of course do you have to buy a game if you want to know how good it really is. But a review helps you decide if you should buy it or not in the first place. That's the whole point of reviews! Most people don't have the time nor the money to buy a game just to see if it's good or not.

You know most people don't make such a big deal out of performance issues. But sure, that indie studio from Scandinavia paid nintendolife to make the review better than it is. Accept that different people like different stuff and not everything is a conspiracy.

@CroRock You know just beacuse someone interprets a game rating system other than you doesn't mean they are being dishonest. Some people would give an average game a 7 and some would give it a 5. That's how it is and this has notjing to do with paid reviews.
I don't even understand why people are basing their decision to buy a game on one single number. Yeah it's a good indication of how good the game is but if you really wanna know how it is read the full review.

Team 17? I only need one team and that's team 10!
Strongest army in the world!

@MongolRaider unplayable? kind of hyperbolic don't you think? You even say yourself that some online games are still alive, you think they would if they were unplayable?

@quinnyboy58 True that. I don't understand how people can write off a whole category of games just because there isn't a big company behind it.
For all the people who are skeptical about indies, give it a chance. I have played almost all my life nintendo games only but i can tell you some indies are just as good if not even better.

Just a quick information for the prople first playing monster hunter by trying the demo: In the normal game you almost always have double as much time to kill the monster than in the demo.
Just wanted to put this out there because i really can't understand why they always do this and i think it really hinders the experience.

@EightBitMan "absolutely lackluster port of doom"

What? Which game did you play?

@EightBitMan You do realize that you are just on the opposite extreme end of the spectrum? a blind hater. Doesn't make you any better

I was wondering why this is the thread with the most comments on this site. But yeah, new fire emblem, i forgot.

@Rayquaza2510 No it's "unfair competition" that the shop next door sells YOUR computers.

@Rayquaza2510 Well they're taking their games and intellectual property and selling it for free, of course that's "unfair competition" and of course are they entitled to "whine" about that. They sold a product and if you didn't get it or broke it that's your fault, not the company's.

@Crono1973 Of course you can: NES classic, SNES classic, wii u e shop and nintendo 3ds eshop
