The worst part, at least for me, is Nintendo probably blamed the female protag for the bad reviews, which is I would guess why they never had another female Belmont.
Wait, so Manic Mechanics, a game I've never heard of, is a "highlight", but Atelier Marie, which has been hyped up for months, on Playstation as well, is not?
Sorry, 50th iteration? More like 5th for console games and 10th if we add handheld games. Seems like a lot but nobody complains about Mario games and there are a lot more of those! Plus, Skyward Sword was the last new Zelda game on consoles that was normal, and Link Between Worlds was the last handheld. It's been over a decade since those. And yes, people like me miss those types of Zelda games. Don't be all huffy over that :/
@Jamessmooth This review was unfairly harsh. I have this version and the PS4 version (which got an 8 on PushSquare) and other than graphics, it's the same fun game. Blows BotW out of the water!
And here I was thinking we'd get someone good that'd give me a good reason to come back to Smash >.> I hate Nintendo...nothing but disappointing since the Switch came out. Pokémon is the only game I keep playing. Smash just continues to have random/advertising DLC
How about like the original Hyrule Warriors and not necessarily this sequel that is literally just a Breath of the Wild cashgrab. Like the Warriors games? No? Well you like Breath of the Wild of course so enjoy Breath of the Warriors!
@Alpha008 This one is, yes. Adventure mode is stale, the challenges are easy, there's nothing to do but the basic Smash. And by basic I mean the same mode that is in every Smash so why get this one?
@BulbasaurusRex I mean...again, just play the original. Or Melee. You can just modify some rules or make like a faux Squad Strike mode. And why replace modes instead of just add them?
@BulbasaurusRex Well World of Light is basically Event Mode I guess, meaning we don't really get an adventure mode. If the best thing about Smash Ultimate is the same mode from the first Smash, may as well just play that. And what descriptions? All we get is a picture of something for Spirits
This story always pisses me off...not the game, the reaction! Being as obsessed with a video game that some people are that no one can ever draw inspiration from said game without some nonsense happening cannot be healthy!
@BulbasaurusRex Trophies were more fun, looking at them from different angles, the descriptions, seeing your huge collection when you look at it all at once. World of Light is fun to unlock everything. Then it's just boring. Same matches with same conditions over and over...and the modes should be there in the beginning. The characters are great, but like Ridley, Inklings, they're not as good as Link or Zero Suit Samus, my two mains. I guess that's more of a personal preference.
If people like this game, hey, more power to them. But for me, characters and stages don't replace things I always liked. And everything Nintendo has done, at least IMO, since the Switch came out, was a cashgrab. Guess I'm just a cynic
@Trikeboy Where's Event Mode? Where's an actual All-Star Mode? Why did we need to pay for Home-Run Contest and Stage Builder? Custom moves were fun. Trophies were fun. Trophy-gathering minigames were fun. Characters, stages, music, basic gameplay are great, but so was it in Smash 4, and yes, that had more right out of the box. So no, more characters does not mean more gameplay.
Fitting on the Switch, which does seem like Nintendo cares more about money than quality. Smash Ultimate is nearly a year old and with the DLC is over twice the cost of Smash 3DS for half the content
Missing features? Like, Smash Ultimate, which still got great ratings? Like Breath of the Wild, the most boring game that everyone loves? So stupid...the hate is literally over the Pokédex. Nothing less and nothing more.
Oh that makes sense. That's why we don't have characters like Bayonetta-OH WAIT!
Seriously Nintendo, you're not even trying to be good anymore.
Also, liking sexiness makes you a bad person? Really? That's the message? Then why did you include a lady that LITERALLY LICKS HER LIPS IN LUST WHEN SHE GETS A NEW PAIR OF GUNS?!
Wait, you took away points over a leaderboard that didn't exist before the original Banana Blitz? And the minigames that were never a big focus in these games to begin with? And the boss battles that were in the original? Sounds like excuses to not like it.
@ELRinley I just meant like people don't decide to be gay or straight or bi, they just are, but being a girl that's into girls myself, I see what you mean. But you got my point, which is to say just "innocent" words actually could be alienating and stigmatizing. It reminds me of one of my college courses about communication: it matters more how a message is received rather than what is actually said.
Saying "luckily the name is not what you initially thought" is kind of offensive to people that like "what they initially thought." Whatever someone is into, as long as it's not illegal, should not be shamed like that. It's like if a game was called "Gay and proud" (I know that's not "what people are into", shut up all you SJWs!) and someone says "Luckily, gay means happy here."
Sounds even worse without context. Before it was like "Wow this guy thinks wives are just supposed to be domestic servants. He's a monster!" but now it's like "Does he think wives are just sex slaves?! I mean why else would he tie his daughter to a chair to be a good wife?"
