@DDFawfulGuy Forced? Force means to do something against one's will. The Japanese aren't forced to do business with America. They have every right to tell America to shove off and not work with them at all.
They want the American market and as such censor themselves for that extra bit of revenue.
@IceEarthGuard He said "most" not all. The handful of comments you read fall in the category of others automatically.
Even still, you only read a handful of comments. That's a drop in bucket compared to the Japanese player base as a whole. That's not good enough as "proof". All that proves is outliers exist in every country.
@JohnnyMind Im pretty surprised myself. Alot of other games here tend to get heavy point docks for performance issues despite a glowing review, but doesn't seem to effect Zelda.
@LadyCharlie Videogames by default are a waste of time no matter the length. Every time you play your 3 hour game, you waste 3 hours which could been spent doing something productive.
@AstraeaV That is just one of the flaws of humans. It's not my problem until it affects me. Only problem is once it does affect you, no one will be around to care.
@Wexter I think people need to stop befriending companies in general. In doing so you find yourself at a point of being afraid to criticize bad practices or staunchly defend a company as if your life depended on it.
@AstroTheGamosian One of those factors is you have to consider just how many movies a professional reviewer sees every year.
A professional film critic sees up to around 100 films per year. Not only that, sometimes they have to see a film multple times.
At most critics just said Mario was nothing special. Some agreed it would appeal to those more familiar with the franchise. Heck, alot of animations released per year receive middling reviews.
Only a few ever get real high praise.
Mario isn't special case of critics going to war with the audience.
@PinderSchloss Every business has horrible parts. That's just how things work in the world.
Nintendo is a company, not a person. A company whose job it is to sell you a product. Not be your BFF. We live in a world where everything is driven by profit. Not charity.
@k8sMum Hah, that part was just being overdramatic. Life is a game of unforeseeable events. Autosave is a convenience for those random moments of life.
@DDFawfulGuy No need to explain. Peeps nowadays are so obsessed with purifying the world that silly stuff like this is enough for them to find something to be offended about.
@The-Chosen-one ROLF. Smash Ultimate is the best selling fighting game of all time and sits right next with Mortal Kombat. Of course Nintendo is working on a new version, just as they will after that, and after that, till the series is no longer profitable.
@Sonicka If you are that too trusting, then you have lived a privileged life.
Jired is just some guy you know on the internet. People wear faces everyday that hide a sinister side. The ones that get by with it? Are just that great of an actor.
I don't know who Jired is either, but if you think no one on earth is cold enough to use a sick relative or even themselves for
personal gain? Then I admire you, and that bubble you live in.
@sanderev I know you enjoy defending the mega billion dollar corporation, but I assure you Nintendo isn't going to award you a cookie for being their white knight.

Re: Review: Mika And The Witch's Mountain (Switch) - A Cute Ghibli-Inspired Tale That Doesn't Deliver
@Chocobo_Shepherd As well as you should. A reviewers job is just inform you, not tell you what you what should and shouldn't consume.
If you think that it's looks amazing and want to buy it, then congrats. The reviewer was never trying to prevent that in the first place.

Re: Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Will Restore Missing Posters In Patch 3
@Arawn93 You are correct. I have no rebuttal. I say it's no big deal, because it doesn't effect me, or my enjoyment of the game whatsoever.

Re: Review: Tomb Raider I-III Remastered (Switch) - The Best Way To Rediscover A Gaming Idol
@CammyUnofficial Hey, idk what to tell you. People forget things. It's called life. Sometimes things happen beyond your control.
"Hurry up dear, our son needs to get to the emergency room"
"Im'a need 20 seconds to save first"
Sometimes your game bugs out, sometimes your hardware runs into a issue that requires complete shutdown.
Things happen and autosave is a convenience.
Re: Review: Tomb Raider I-III Remastered (Switch) - The Best Way To Rediscover A Gaming Idol
@CammyUnofficial Yeah, imagine forgetting things from time to time. What are you? Human? Pshhh.

@Not_Soos Yeah, but also no one predicted we would spend 3 years stuck inside our homes. Switch got a nice boost thanks to covid.
Re: Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown Dev Would "Love" To Make A Zelda Game
@OorWullie I doubt Metroid Dread exclusively. It is influenced by Metroid and Casltevania in general though. Hence Metroidvania.

@CharlieZee Eh, I think all of it was pretty okay myself. To each their own I suppose. Could have been a bit more spicy for sure though.

Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Ports We'd Love To See In 2024
@TheExile285 Yes, let's just hope Nintendo keeps up their pattern of doing the bare minimum, and charging premium price for ports.
It wouldn't feel right if I didn't pay 70$ for a game that released in 2006. Bonus if overpriced toy with an in game feature is added.

Re: The Super Mario Bros. Movie Lands Three Nominations At The Golden Globes 2024
It's either going to be Spider-man or The Heron for sure. There's no way Mario has a chance.
Re: Geoff Keighley Agrees Music Was Played "Too Fast" For TGA Winners This Year

Re: Random: The Game Awards Urged Eiji Aonuma To 'Wrap Up' Zelda Acceptance Speech
@LadyCharlie Well maybe if 99% of the airtime wasn't dedicated to Ads, the supposed people who matter would have more speech time.
Game awards should drop devs all together and just revamp it to "The Advertisement Awards" Then they can shove as much junk to fill up airtime.
