Re: Internal Xbox Email Details Desire To Acquire Nintendo

LUIGITORNADO

For me the Xbox brand is nothing. Its attachment to other brands makes them “uncool” and “messy” by association. Like I’m done with Bethesda and Activision all together.

If they bought Nintendo I’d probably only retro game. I don’t see any value Microsoft could bring Nintendo. It would be a one sided relationship and with Xbox siphoning off all the brand-image from Nintendo, diluting it, until Mario and Zelda become nothing more than forgotten mascots.

Nintendo’s culture is what makes them special. They maintain that because they are able to operate freely with very little foreign interference.

There is no value here for Nintendo, gamers, or even the Japanese community.

Phil Spencer is a joke. I’m tired of hearing about gamepass as some sort of messiah when it’s really just twisting gaming and devaluing all the energy gone into making games.

I thought in my older age I was kind of done being a fanboy, but just knowing that this slime ball even thought about how to plan an acquisition of Nintendo has me literally seething.

I will never purchase an Xbox associated product again. At this point the brand is a zombie, animated my Microsoft’s money.

I thinks it’s good.

Haven’t made it off the sky island yet.

Fun messing around with stuff.

Feels very BotW obviously. If it’s just another 100 more hours of that I don’t think I’ll enjoy it much.

With new 3D Zelda titles…there’s always this anticipation of experiencing it. The story. The dungeon. The boss battles. The quirky characters. The equipment.

Don’t feel like that so far

Re: Fire Emblem Engage Anime-Like Opening Cinematic Surfaces Online

@Rayquaza2510 I don’t think only weebs watch anime.

I associate the high energy, flamboyant, fan service looking stuff with western weebs I spent my teenage years talking to on forums.

Thanks for the info though.

I am a casual watcher. If an anime interests me then I’ll watch it.

I just dislike this approach to FE. To me the older fire Emblem games may represent anime trends/tropes from that era, but it’s preferable than what I’m seeing with Engage.

Like I can’t believe I’m saying this because I complained about Three Houses and how different it was, but I perfer how that game presented itself over Engage.

Idk. I guess as a kid playing Sacred Stones, PoR and RD, I envisioned this series growing into something more dramatic and grounded. I don’t want to say like “Game of Thrones” because I think there’s a place for Fire Emblem’s silly sense of humor, and it’s still a video game, but yeah…something a bit more mature with a focus on political intrigue and not this nonsensical fantasy rainbow farting trumpet.

Tbh. If someone made a Fire Emblem game that presented itself sort of like a western medieval fantasy. Maybe sort of like Dragon Age Origins, with interesting characters, but still inherently Japanese in style and design (like dark souls/berzerk)…I’d love that game to pieces.

I still love the gameplay though…

Re: Round Up: The Previews Are In For Fire Emblem Engage

Thing is with most video game journalism is by exetension they work for the PR department for these companies.

Unless a company really botches a game previews are going to me more or less favorable.

It’s not really paying off, but these sites are attempting to not sully their relationship with publishers by being overtly negative about products.

Media trades are what this industry runs on.
