Re: Poll: Nintendo's Free-to-Play Experiments - Are You Still Playing?

I'm ok with the free to play model. I like the badge game as if I have any cash left over from adding an eshop card and buying a game I can use it.

What I hated about Shuffle though was how it abused my completionist ways by restricting certain pokemon to timed events and even then only gave them out to very few players, a transparent attempt to get you to spend money to get everything. It just put me RIGHT off it.

Wow, a lot of the "Nintendo should die" people are out in force in the comments. It's not a uniquely Japanese thing but we hear about it a lot because most games companies of note are Japanese or American.

For all it's other flaws Capcom has been good at listening to American fans (i.e. working in Bison's imfamous Tuesday line) while other ones almost completely disregard them, despite them being the biggest buyers. Look at what happened to Sega. The stupid internal rivalry between american and janaese branches killed the Saturn and the Japanese side pulled the plug on the American branch's Sonic development because they dare to use the NiGHTs engine.

Not to mention jettisoning all of the American Sonic Canon bar Robotnik being made into Eggman's real name.

I don't think fans should be accused of entitlement. Cemanding it should be cancelled is a bit far but we all know those petitions do hardly anything. It's more a way to vent fustration.

Whoever wrote the script for the Direct this year is to blame. A lot of the games with negative reception could have been better if presented right, for instance, say that the Animal Crossing party game was free with amiibo or establish why Federation Force is even a thing.

@GraveLordXD IT seems to be a big problem with the game industry, letting their B tier or A minus Tier games go to waste despite obvious demand. Mega Man, Castlevania, Banjo Kazoie... All go to the point theat the original creators jumped ship and started their own. With Blackjack and Hookers as stretch goals.

Re: Live-Action Netflix Series For The Legend of Zelda is Reportedly in Development

Even if you remove all the murder, incest and bewbs, Game of Thrones and Zelda are nowhere near on the same level. Zelda is about the adventure of one kid/man settign out to stop an all powerful evil. GOT is about power grabs while ignoring there is an incoming force. Unless the whole thing is the part of Ocarina of Time when everyone sat on their thumbs while Ganon cursed everyone.
