@NorwegianMate So when are people going to stop treating things they read on the internet or this website as some sort of collective hive mind?
" I HATE Chris Pratt!! This is gonna suck!!"
" I HATE Hollywood... This is gonna suck!!"
" Illumination sucks at animations! It doesn't even look like 8bit mario that I grew up with!!"
"Oh, it was wonderful! So many Easter eggs!"
The above are all statements made by SEPARATE individuals. They don't undo each other, they may or may not change based on the experiences of the individual. They are individual experiences and NOT part of some otherworldly collective lmfao.
@Outerdragon Why does the experience of another cancel out the experience of a critic? Each person's opinion of the movie exists in a vacuum; there's no global or collective hive mind that if we get enough votes all of a sudden means the movie is going to be 100% enjoyable to anyone who watches it lmfao.
@slowpokemon It’s not like they ruined the whole movie by stating a song title. It’s not even a major story element; just used to introduce a character that’s on the movie posters.
What’s ACTUALLY awful, is the fact this man’s name is left out of the credits, not whether or not someone on the net feels spoiled. Getting this story out is more important.
@YoshiFlutterJump When you substitute red for blue, you are left with red. It’s awkward wording, but correct nonetheless. It’s essentially saying they used a substitute for story, and that substitute was spectacle. Probably the writer’s attempt at trying to avoid using the word shallow.
Why this bothers people, I will never understand. Nintendo is a company. They'll do what they need to do to make money. Making mobile games doesn't make them lesser, unless everyone all of a sudden hates Animal Crossing, Metroid Prime, BOTW, and Zelda TikTok? Remember that they made a few mobile games when those games were released and it didn't seem to hurt them...right?
@sd7232 You're pretty forward thinking, so I understand what you're saying. I think on that often, wondering how the VG industry can even sustain itself at this point.
@GoshJosh I already gave examples of what types of articles caused it, right above your reply to me in fact. And while it's fine to disagree, your opinion does not negate the experience of others.
Last thing I would want is this site to devolve into something awful the likes of Kotaku or something. That user-base is insanely toxic, with little to no moderation.
@DreamlandGem Thanks, I appreciate that. If your team steps up moderation, I could see it being worthwhile. It's especially prevalent on articles that incite arguing, such as stuff to do with emulation or scalping.
With the amount of trolls that come through, along with the articles that incite arguing, there's no way I would want to pay for that experience, honestly.
@Shepdawg1 Is "go touch grass" the kool kid way of telling people to "get bent" now? It's still toxic, even if you veil it with niceties.
It's funny, because when I learned yoga, the term "touching grass" had such a positive and spiritual connotation, as in to reconnect with nature. No need to sully the spirituality of that phrase for the sake of putting others down on the internet.
I don't understand why people think that if Charles Martinet voiced Mario, it would be all "YA - WHA - WHAHOO" and such. It's like people have never heard his incredible vocal range beyond a Mario voice. I would have loved to have heard him do a "speaking voice" version of Mario.
Since I don’t own a Switch, that would mean I would have to spend $400 to play this. The mechanics look neat, but it looks like they could have just made this as an expansion to the first game!

@NorwegianMate I don’t see a point in your generalization, no.

Re: The Mario Movie Is Already The "Top Animated Launch Day Ever" In 11 Markets
Makes sense. Most folks are just gonna see it because it's Mario, not necessarily because it's good!
Re: Poll: What Score Would You Give To The Super Mario Bros. Movie?
@Olmectron No, I get that, I'm just laughing at the amount of competition in the comments that always arises from it.

NL: Gives movie a score.
Every user possible: No! My score is better! No me! No mine!

@Luigi420 Still gotta credit the people who did the actual work, bruv!
Re: Legendary DK Rap Composer Disappointed He's Missing From Mario Movie Credits
@SlowPokemon Again, not a worthy spoiler, so I can’t sympathize with you. Not like they just put the ending in the title or something!

@Dinglehopper Nailed it so hard. But all the reviewers thought it was good and it will make millions, so we will be “wrong” regardless lol

It's just the right thing to do, with covid and all that. Conventions and such are gonna be heading the way of the dodo, unfortunately.

@michellelynn0976 Depends on what they say. Someone that has an opposing opinion isn’t trolling.
Re: Remaster Of Owlboy Dev's Debut Title, Savant - Ascent, Shoots Onto Switch This Summer
The original was painfully short, since it was essentially just a demo in terms of length. I hope they fleshed it out much much more!
Full game is less than 20 minutes:

@WhiteTrashGuy I would have actually wanted to see the movie if Danny Devito voiced Mario, that would have been astounding.

@Otoemetry Please stop trying to silence opposition. Better to learn from them, instead.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Trailer Gets Creative With Vehicle Building, Fused Weapons
@PinderSchloss Exactly. Plus for me, since I don’t own a Switch, I would have to spend nearly $400 if I wanted to play this. No thanks!

Yes, Elden Ring has it's flaws, and I'm vocal about them, but...yeah I can't wrap my mind around what you wrote lol
