@JohnnyMind Everyone copies eachother. Nintendo isn't a unique player here. They do it too, and that's okay. We really need to stop with the idea that taking ques from others is something to point out and scoff at.

@XE77 Yes, but in such a strange way while Capcom lost the spirit of what made RE beloved, other games inspired by it were born. While Capcom was chasing the action crowd, games like Dead Space and Amnesia chased the crowd Capcom left behind.

@ScalenePowers People just like modding a game for joy. There's no greater goal other breaking down a game and seeing how the insides work and what you can do.

@rta It's Rolling Stone. They've been laughing stock for years with their lists. They fail at music, so it's not surprising with games too.

@axelhander Media is a powerful thing that actually can shape the way we think and look at the world. It's easy to say stereotypes are harmless, but ask yourself what group are you in the first place?

If you are among the majority then stereotypes might mean nothing. If you are a minority well that can actually vary and have an effect. If media constantly depicts one group in a negative way, then over time one can start to actually believe it to be true.

Stereotypes do actually have a harmful and negative effect on those who are stereotyped. To pretend is doesn't is strange. As a minority in America, I lived through it and still do. From the harmless to the worst of it.

@DDFawfulGuy Plenty of women do and still do. Have been for awhile now. You just selectively choose not to listen to them.

@Ryu_Niiyama No one is preaching anything you. They were just being nice and replying. You left a comment in an open comment section. People are free to reply to whatever you said.

What point were you trying to make by stating it anyways?

@RupeeClock BoTW, Age of Calamity, Link's Awakening, And Echoes all had noticeable framerate drops. However many fans insisted they didn't notice a sudden shift.

So I figured Nintendo must be a massive Matrix fans and intentionally lowering the frame rate in Zelda games to give us cinematic slow motion.

Her forehead...it's just so big.

@Itachi2099 Well you know us westerns. We tend believe every culture thinks just like us. Why else do we go out way to tell others they're wrong and we're right?

@batmanbud2 @VoidofLight @Sonicka Ah gotcha then. Good to know.

@Maubari You live in a world of millions of people. All them are going to share an opinion on something. Getting worked up about every small negative thing is not worth it.

@MirrorFate2 made their comment because they are interested in the topic. Their interest is negative but they made it because they care about the subject.

They don't have to comment, but at the same no one has to comment on every single thing. But they comment because they want to be part of the discussion. @Maubari cares about the topic.

Someone who doesn't care usually never says anything. Someone who secretly cares but pretends they don't are the loudest blokes in the room. Not every comment rises to the level of hatred, and commenter in this case is not displaying that.

@Maubari Eh, I mean you do have the option to ignore them, you aren't forced to respond just as they aren't forced to comment.

Even still, hateful comments? Hateful against who? the Sonic fandom? lol.

@abbyhitter The game only came out last year and so far only NL is making the claim Sea of Stars is an inspiration for this.

A better way to gauge if SoS truly had any kind of impact would be to see how it holds up 5 to 10 years from now.

@Yoshi3 Nintendo isn't course correcting anything. It's a spinoff game with a different gameplay style more akin to traditional Zelda. It has no bearing on whatever the next big title will be.

Secondly, I never said it's a little fanbase. I said it's a small part of the fanbase who think they speak for everyone whenever they rant about things they hate while also being antagonistic towards anyone who disagrees.

@SpaceboyScreams What a petty defensive response. Hate to break to ya, but BOTW is the highest selling game in the entire franchise.

The fanbase never left and is still present. It's just a tiny subset of the fanbase that thinks they speak for everyone when voicing their displeasure.

@LadyCharlie Now that's just silly. And I mean really silly. Sadly I can't use a more appropriate word , but still... Relishing in being wrong rather than showing abit of humility is not very mature.

The commenters here have been very kind in trying to tell you that your comment is incorrect, not just for your sake, but others who might not fully grasp what this lawsuit is about.

You are not being helpful right now when you can be.

@batmanbud2 That's not entirely what happened. Frostbite which is a proprietary of EA, sent a tweet from the Frostbite offical account in what were mean spirited April Fools jokes.

EA the company did not find the humor in them and ordered the tweets to be taken down immediately and apologized to Nintendo.

I'm not defending EA here, but on that day some jokesters slipped through the cracks and engaged in mean spirited humor. EA had already said it would support the WII U at the time, so it would be unprofessional of them to go out their way to mock a potential future partner, not to mention foolish (Nintendo is a billion dollar corporation after all).

@LadyCharlie I mean what exactly can we do about it? People are laid off everyday. It's a problem bigger than all of us. Every other week NL is giving us another story about studios closing.

There seems to be a lack of innovation in the indie scene lately. Perhaps that is the side effect of having so many indie releases per year that all seem to follow a trend.

These were alot of roguelites this year.

@LadyCharlie Well two things are possible. Just because Hale gave a warning doesn't erase the negative aspects of her character.

A person can tell you something is wrong, while also doing wrong.

@GameOtaku Care to list any examples?

@bluemage1989 The good kind of dirty or the bad kind? Like:

"This makes me feel dirty and now I need to clean up" or
"This makes me feel dirty... But I like getting dirty"

Meh, these movies are pretty mediocre. But then again so is the Sonic franchise, so I guess it's par for the course.

It looks fine but those demon designs look a bit underwhelming.

I'll admit, I never was a fan of Shadow. Metal Sonic all the way!

Metal Sonic was a better Eggman than Eggman. Metal took over Eggmans empire, managed to power up it's own way with no need for Chaos Emeralds, and was on par with Super Sonic, who not only needed said emeralds, but also help from Tails and Knuckles.

@SillyG That may be for you personally, but there's nothing wrong with a timeline or lore in videogames. It's no different from an other medium that does the same.

In this case however, Nintendo just never put any thought in to such an idea, but at the same time didn't imagine fans would. There's nothing wrong with that. Nintendo on their part atleast attempted to connect all the games together just a gesture to fans.

Comics, Books, tv shows, movies, and yes even art have told a grand interwoven universe. Heck, board games too. Videogames in the grand scheme of history are a recent medium that slowly evolved to incorporate more interwoven universes with lore.

And while yes gameplay is important, there is nothing wrong with giving players an entire world of fictional history to explore.

@Skunkfish While I agree with you, I can't help but think the score is a bit inflated when one of the pros is "A fresh and loving perspective on an underappreciated culture".

You know how many cultures there are in the world? The average person in their lifetime won't even experience a fraction of them. Many of them go unnoticed or overlooked. It doesn't mean said cultures are underappreciated, it just means the vast majority lack knowledge their existence. There are simply too many as is.

Even still, said culture isn't underappreciated. Quite the opposite really. It is appreciated, by the people of that culture. It's their culture which holds more value than any outsiders appreciation of it.

Hmm, going to have to pass after reading other reviews. But glad the reviewer enjoyed it.

@TheDragonDAFan How else are they suppose to market to kids born four decades ago?

@SwagaliciousJohnson Honestly, im not feeling the trailer so I hope the final product is good.

With that said, atleast it's not taking a princess peach approach and is treating Zelda like she's capable of being a real heroine. So points in that regard.

@AG_Awesome That may be the case, but not everyone who's stance doesn't align with yours is a troll.

@Anti-Matter Modding is always going to be abused by bad actors. It's just the power that comes with creative freedom.

However, we shouldn't lump those bad actors in with the good ones and call for a purging of mods as a result. You should call out bad things, not ask for everyone to share punishment for the actions of a few.

@Gamer83 Adapting a game to movie is not easy.
Games are an interactive medium. The story themselves are part of the gameplay. It's spread out over long periods to match the length of the game.

A typical meaty rpg can be well over 60 hours. You have to cut all that down to the typical length of a film. That's alot of world building to skip over.

Game movies also run the risk of either playing it safe to please everyone which means making nothing spectacular, or take the risk of alienating people by doing it's own thing.

Even the best of video game adapted movies are just middling.

Movies require good writing to keep the viewer engaged for over an hour. Games can get away with a mediocre plot, because the core thing they focus on is gameplay.

@FirstEmperor Haha, mate she was trolling the person she was responding to who was upset about skullgirls and tomb raider.

It was a very cheeky response on purpose.

@PikaPhantom Well, I mean I see nothing wrong either way. Alot of models in Gmod aren't original creations. They are ripped models from other games.

Gmod is already in a gray area as is. You are taking licensed property and using it without consent from the owner.

@OwenGamer22 Stealing is a strong word there. Did a group of individuals wearing ski masks, armed with rifles barge in, take said work, altered it, then brazenly sold it on two major platforms?

If so, I admire that.

@jump Well, it's pretty much a combo of things. But most can be blamed on Disney's greed.

@Twilite9 PS Vita actually had potential. It was more of a Sony problem than a hardware problem.

@Troubbble For me personally, I'm cool with it. Nintendo has the privilege of diversifying their games to meet every target demographic.

I don't get the idea that Nintendo games are all too easy. BOTW, TOTK, Metroid Remake, Fire Emblem Engage, Xenoblade Chronicles 3. These types of games are designed for older audiences.

It's fine if Nintendo wants to make games designed with family and very young kids in mind from time to time.

If only every scene in the final product could have been replaced with something better. Oh Well. Looking forward to the Mediocre Bros. sequel.

@BlueMonk As you pointed out, nothing last forever. That includes your digital media too.

@whitemage Seems they deleted their account now. Oh well haha.

Within my group of peers, I was like the only kid who found the Shadow character and story pretty terrible.

I have a high feeling the final product is going to be medicore anyways.

@lightningbolt79 So all those reviews and complaints about the repetitive grind, the boring loot, and the lackluster endgame never crossed your path?

@LadyCharlie Fun story:

Someone I used to know claimed they had a mental illness, only to find out later they made it up.

I take everyone's word with a grain of salt. Especially in this age where everyone is self diagnosing themselves with problems they don't actually have. (Yes, people do that. Strange isn't it?)

Personally, im just going to nod my head at that part of her story. I'm glad she's managed to survive not being the voice actor of Ash Ketchum since 2006.

@Serpenterror Yeah, it's not like they have employees to pay or expenses to keep up. Have some pride and let your small company go bankrupt.
