Yeah, like I said to others earlier concerning this, get the fark out of here with that. There's no way you're telling me that a port of a Turbo Graphics 16 game and a old playstation one title needed bankrolling to be funded for a company like Konami. A company that has been developing AND publishing all their own AAA games for decades now.
Where as a Platinum needed help to get the first Bayonetta & more of their games published. Here's another fact: Konami are big enough to secure huge licenses like TMNT, Aliens & The Simpsons. Platinum works on liscensed titles like TMNT & Konami's own Metal Gear in order to keep their lights on and secure funding for some of their own pursuits and endeavors. Amazing how as supposedly even remotely in the know gamers we overlook these types of facts & circumstances making some of these statements.
Ironically enough, in your rush to go ahead and label folks who may have something not so glowing to say about this fanboys, you yourself sound just like one. As you're just as quick to regurgitate the same overused & cliche talking point that many of them do when defending a money hatting move for a company that's not Nintendo or their preferred choice. Those two instances are hardly the same.
A bit conspiratorial, but now that you mention it, it is kind of a head-scratcher. You're not telling me that it's going to take much to port those games on any system at the moment. The 360, Wii U or ps3 could have even done it justice. Eh, it is what it is though. I didn't even hear about it until literally today when I stopped pass another site. Guess that some companies really don't like money.
And for the people that I've heard talking about oh well it's kind of like the Bayonetta 2 situation here and on other sites, I respectfully say gtfoh with that. The budgets from both of those games combined probably wouldn't even match up to close to what Bayonetta 2 was. We're talkin about some pretty old games here. Games that were on a ps & Turbografx I believe.
And unless they're doing a whole Mario 64 3D makeover or something along with remastering, there is no way the budget for these old games hurt them so much that they needed financing like Bayonetta 2. Konami are in a much better position than Platinum games. It got moneyhatted, plain and simple. Much more respectable when you just own up to it instead of going further out of your way to insult people's intelligence.
Maybe not the worst ever made, but the game was pretty garbage IMHO. While he is certainly entitled to his opinion, hearing him down those 2 games while upping that waste of time is hella funny to me. All that time & that was what we got?! Lol
That's a very good question. Even if they don't have a strong presence in Japan, they have a pretty good presence in other markets like Europe and the United States. I mean if it's all about da money like some are quick to quip, I see no reason to snub the XBOX & the 40 million or whatever potential buyers on that platform. There's no carts to CDs excuse to use here.
Could be true, could be a conspiracy, but you're surely not lying. I wasn't going to say anything really, but since it's being brought up I will. As it surely is kinda strange how bent out of shape some of these so-called "unbiased gamers" get when it comes to putting those nasty Fanboys in their place, but conveniently only seem to call out what they deem as the Nintendo ones. I mean, you'll have dudes swallowing move controllers and pretty much writing manifestos, adverts & sales pitches fior sony & their products. Straight up shilling & fanboying. And yet there's suddenly quiet as dead Church mice in those instances LOL.
And yeah, strangely enough it does happen more often than not on some of the video game boards. If you even dare leave a comment saying you're not interested in sony, a big fan of their consoles/games you'rebeing called out of your name, your choices questioned to an infinite degree, and so forth. Yet nary a damn thing said to the haters, trolls and possible sony Fanboys who have nothing but negativity towards Nintendo. Lmao And often enough on a Nitendo centric site no less.
And maybe, just maybe I could swallow that I'm just a gamer and I hate fanboyism so I call it out bull$#!* if it wasn't so obviously that. However, when it only (and I mean only) seems to happen with some of these people when it comes to Nintendo fans, it's time to cut the chit. Like I said you'll have folks straight up D riding & publicly fellating sony and they won't say anything to them.
Also, if these are Nintendo Fanboys because they'prefer and want to talk about Nintendo on a Nintendo Centric site, then what the hell would you call some of these jokers here that seem to just wanna troll, criticize & mock Nintendo & these folks that are pretty much where they should be? I'm not going to get to calling out names and everything as it doesn't matter that much, but I can definitely see where you were coming from. Even if it's not something I totally agree with
Come on dude, how in the world could you forget about Red Dead Redemption 2? It is far from being a lock for either of those 2 games. I am not even interested in it, but can clearly see the anticipation for it. Where as gamers that I know personally are or were rarely even mentioning gow or spider man much if at all, quite a few of them were & are going on enthusiastically about RDR2.
That"s not to say that they have 0 interest in either of those games or wouldn't/haven't purchased or played those games, but they're more like also rans when RDR2 is mentioned in the equation. And if it lives up to the insane hype & gets that push that rock* usually gives their high profile titles, well let's just say you might want to re-evaluate that prediction & keep some eating utensils nearby for it.
I hear ya, but why aren't people lectured as much when they do the exact same thing with Nintendo consoles? Lmao on this very board you can find folks that make similar statements about Nintendo that don't get questioned or called out. Hell I've seen people with the audacity to say that the PC has no games worth playing & get less lecturing & being called out for crying out loud. It's like GOD forbid if you say stuff like that about a ps4 or don't care for sony's systems/games though.
Maybe their games don't appeal to them & they have an Xbox or something? Maybe they can only afford or have time for one & they chose a platform that better suits them? Who knows for real, but it's funny that people can say similar things about Nintendo (or even MS systems) yet people get to clutching their pearls if you happen to say that about sony. And that's pretty laughable
Yeah, pretty much. I don't use the term often as it is grossly overused, but that article (& headline especially) is straight up click bait! I don't think that they even care about spider-man"s presence & just doing their own thing as they usually do. Maybe they're just not used to Nintendo being this aggressive with their marketing. Which would be fair as for a good while now they've been lacking in that area honestly IMO.
It pretty much looks like Sunset Overdrive with a spidey skin to me. That is why I find it so funny that some of the very same people that are slobbering over spidey thought that Sunset Overdrive was sooooooo mediocre. Even though you can see so much of that game's DNA and what they learned from it in this spider-man game.
Yeah, maybe stop parroting s*** trying to sound edgy. Especially when using it out of context. FTR, a "wall of text" is when someone writes a crap ton of stuff WITHOUT breaking it up into paragraphs or using ANY kind of periods or anything. For someone trying to be such a smart-ass, it's a bit ironic thar you were too stupid to realize that you weren't even using the term correctly.
Then again people do seem to be getting dumber by the day. So while I can see how something as simple as a few paragraphs can be intimidating to some of you, it's not like they're unicorns & never existed. So you mate actually sound dumber than your f'ing cat. Don't come for me kid, as when you strike at a king you must kill him! Then again, I forgot we can ignore list ppl here. Goodbye 😉
The difference is the messenger seem to be using hand drawn animations & as advanced effects for the backdrops and everything. From the little that I've seen (& what we've gathered from those getting a behind the scenes look) everything from the lighting to the more fluid motion streets of rage 4"s doing much more ambitious things aesthetically than The Messenger is.
And even as 16 and 8 bit games go, The Messenger isn't exactly the best that I think that I've seen art style wise in those bit ranges. And given the budget that they're probably working with, I can understand why they don't want to take any extra resources away from what they're trying to do. It seems Sega doesn't even want to put a big budget behind it and they are the creators of the franchise. Maybe if this goes over well, they'll maybe consider doing something like that in its next iteration.
We'te talking about games that were running on a ps3/360 bruh. And let's be real, as far as cod goes, the games don't look much better than a lot of the games prior. Just with bumped up fx. Even the Wii was able to use some of the more contemporaneous effects at the time.
And what else is probably making folks say gtfoh with this is that a much better looking game such as Doom Eternal is making it's way to the system. While this game isn't looking too much better than efforts from last gen, they are putting a game that is aesthetically more pleasing (regardless of whatever compromises are being made) on the system. I as not for nothing, when is the last time people actually went Gaga for a Call of Duty game. That's not hate or anything. As I have the most capable console out on the market right now to play it on and yet I don't give a s*** about it.
It is certainly better for the console to have the game than to not. And I would almost certainly question the motives or genuineness of a person arguing in the favor of less games onna console. However, call of duty has been losing its respect with gaming fans for years now. Well before the we're not going to put a cod game on the Switch moment. The multiple amounts of threads, articles and comments that you can see berating and criticizing the series is testament to that. And it certainly not all Nintendo game as. As a Nintendo gamer will most likely not give much of a damn about call of duty as much anymore as cod doesn't seem to give much of a damn about them.
I definitely agree with you about the need for 3rd parties given that they give such a big boost to a system & it's library (especially non Nintendo ones) but lmao what has respawn actually done for real? Especially to have a laugh @ anybody. They got big for their britches leaving MS's help on the table & became ea's lapdog. And are now at their beckon call. Then they made tf2 & cried about their game not being able to compete with others when it pretty much flopped given that they'd went rushing to expand their base by releasing on the vaunted & supposed savior ps4.
Where as Nintendo bounced back & released 2 TWO GOTY caliber games in Zelda & Mario Odyssey. With Zelda possibly being the GOTG. Made a new IP in Arms that has probably sold close to what tf2 has with even less advertising. Have gotten folks like Bethesda to put games like Doom Eternal, Wolfenstein:TNC & such on the system that hadn't or wouldn't have graced it before. Blizzard hadn't been on board for a while either & at least has an effort coming in Diablo. There are other examples such as Warframe & Paladins as well. So while they may not have EVERY single western dev, they've been making much better strides than before.
And while respawn's been pretty much invisible/quiet as of late & having their game discounted like a month later, people like Bethesda, Square Enix & others seem to be happy eating on a Nintendo platform. So at the end of the day, it certainly seems like Nintendo would be the ones to get the last laugh in that regard. However, given the current situation, they're probably too busy counting money & being happy about their current success to even GAF or even think about those clowns lol.
I hear you man, but unfortunately many of these so-called gamer these days don't appreciate that genre. If it's not Battle Royale, first person or some game pretending to be a movie with it's c level plot & dialogue groveling to be taken seriously, it could be a hard sell. Especially if it's not an instantly recognizable franchise . And given how Streets of Rage is definitely nostalgic for a lot of old schoolg amers, new Age gamers may not know as much about it. Nor give it much reverence Think to yourself the last time that you've seen a side-scrolling beating them up? Especially with a huge budget and lots of promotion behind it.
Doubt that it will as it is a brand new game & not a remake like the first Wonder Boy game that they did. So they really wouldn't have no base game (or that nostalgia) to switch back to. To do that they would have to make two completely different games. And I don't think any company would really want to develop two separate games just to have the switching back and forth gimmick.
Oh, well don't be surprised if next gen they reverse course & you get to watch all their fanboys & zealots that are now defending this garbage & constantly spreading 'en sony running up to & falling all over themselves to jump on the late bandwagon. Eagerly ready to defend & digest the next load of crap that they're dusting with sugar to get them to swallow.
Oh no, there's no doubt about it. The Xbox1X ABSOLUTELY outclasses the ps4 & it's "pro" version, easily. They weren't bluffing when they came with the 1X.
What's funny about that is that it seems that sony was going to do the EXACT same thing as far as the drm thing goes, but saw how it backfired with MS & did an about face. One of the few times that they didn't stick with copying the competition. 😜
I don't know man, because unlike a lot of the Fanboys and haters here, it sounds like he actually doesn't have a problem picking up another system. Granted it takes a little brain power to figure this out, but given the fact that the game is not on Nintendo's console and yet they purchased it day one, you could easily do the deuce that they had no problem owning another system capable of playing it on. You know, like most normal games do that aren't sitting around trying to stir up childish toy wars like yourself.
I guess you missed the part where they mentioned that they were a day one buyer of monster hunter world. So unlike like a lot of the haters out there these days that don't even own or have played the games or systems that they're hating on, this person put their money where their mouth was. And they supported capcom on their endeavour immediately. And in doing so realize that they liked what Monster Hunter Generations offered more.
And the thing is, it's not even like it's some anomaly. As there's been plenty of people who have said that. From sites including IGN to n4"g". Let us guess, those are all Nintendo centric sites as well huh buddy? LMAO So maybe, just maybe you can take your Fanboy BS somewhere else a bit more deserving. Just because someone has a preference does not mean that they are tied to a system like some console Warriors.
Lol see I'm a bit of a of a different Beast with that. As if I want it on a preferred platform and you can or might put it on there, but won't for whatever reasons, I simply won't buy your game at all. Sure I may have another capable system, but I may want to play it when I go out of town, during a commute or when I'm bored as hell at work. These things are certainly a factor, and it's also about having a choice.
And with practices like that you are effectively limiting that and trying to shoehorn where I play and how I make a choice. So you may just lose a sale all together with your bulls***. Which I'm sure is not a problem for some other developer out there, because that just means I'll spend my money with them a bit quicker. Hell, maybe look at some games that I may not have really considered purchasing at that point in time or at all and give them a chance to grab a new fan.
Exactly my fellow gamer. Acting like them releasing a game is a privilege for us. Hell no it's not. It's not like it's a necessity such as food or water or anything. It's JUST a game Besides that, remember to tell yourself that there are plenty of other people out there releasing games to grab your cash, hard-earned or otherwise. That's what I've always done after all. You don't want to support me, well then I don't support you, simple as that. I'll give my money to another hard-working Dev who wants my money and seems to respect me as a customer.
Look at what Bethesda's doing for you as a customer for example . They didn't make you beg for Doom Eternal or leave you in limbo wondering if you could see it on your preferred platform. They just factored you into the equation and are giving it to you. And while they may not be able to put every game on the Nintendo Switch given it's obvious hybrid nature & obvious lesser specs going with that, they are definitely supporting the device and their fans a lot more respectfully and earnestly.
Again, they're putting the new Doom on there for goodness sake! A sequel to a game that many people had as a game of the year that year. While they're wanting people to beg for another One Piece game that will probably not even ever be considered in the same vein. And I say that not trying to disrespect one piece fans or diminish the title in their eyes (or at all really) but just giving out my personal take on it.
And even if you want to respectfully ask for this game, remember to tell them that It's a privilege for YOU to have ME buy YOUR game for real. As it's my money that's helping YOUR bottomline and not the other way around. Remind them that you should not have to beg a be thankful as there is definitely no favor being done in you giving them your money and them giving you a product. It's about time that somebody's property companies realize that. And that you you make them respect you as a gamer and potential customer. Let them know that you're not going to beg them all the time.
To those people interested, your money spends and is green just like the other user bases and people that they are catering to like sony's. And given that they're not giving you any bonus content, most likely, won't optimize it wholeheartedly for the system, are making you wait and almost assuredly going 2 charge you full price as well, it is clear that they're not going to look out for you to do you any favors. F that begging stuff at this point!
Well I agree with you a bit about it maybe not looking all that good, I also have to take into account that I'm not really in the One Piece series. And yeah, I can see it being a seven out of ten type of game. Isn't that what they're usually all around? However I do disagree with your statement about it not being very good and then being in the 7 of out of 10 range.. As a 7 out of 10 in and of itself is very much above average. I don't know how or when a 7 out of 10 game starting to be viewed as a bad game.
Straight up man. At this point they should be eager to put it on the system. Now don't get me wrong, I can understand some of the trepidation at first (seeing as how Nintendo players at some time left 3rd parties out to dry when it came to buying their games), but at this point it seems like there's too many examples of people having decent to excellent success to be kissing someone's butt to get a game.
Especially since it's not like they're doing Nintendo fans a huge favor when they put games on the system. It's not like they're releasing the game late and discounting the price, going the extra mile with added content for the wait or something like that. People are paying full price just like the other users. So you charge Nintendo fans full price just like the other users, but you want to give it to them way later as well.
At this point, it should cost you more to sell me that game then. As now I want something added or a discounted price for making me wait all that time if I'm still buying it. Luckily though I'm not exactly into One Piece. Although I can still empathize with their fans.
I'm thinking I'm going to get NBA 2K 19 is well. Copped the 1st one just to support them, but now I'm going to really try to get into this one next year. I did play it a bit at work though, so it wasn't just a total good faith purchase
Yeah, that's true. However, not every game that deserves to sell does. Just like there's tons of games that sell gangbusters that's some me feel unworthy. And it's certainly not a Nintendo console specific thing either. As there's been games that have flat-out bombed or so pretty lackluster on much higher userbases in history. Unfortunately that's just how it is sometimes.
I was thinking that myself. Certainly not want to call someone a liar where I don't know the situation, buuuuuut it certainly sounds like she wasn't as big a fan as this user claims OR it's just another convenient/cool story on the net LOL.
I definitely have to agree with you there as you make some very good points. And it's something that I've been saying for quite a while. There are plenty of dads out there that deserve your ire, but this isn't one of them. Especially since they are actually announcing something. What about some of these bigger guys like EA, Ubisoft (to a lesser extent) and others? Hell, crapcom are a MUCH bigger offender considering how they lick sony's crack. Crap, they would much rather consider putting games on the garbage vita before they would Nintendo consoles.
Companies that can find ways to put that games on mobile platforms but not one that's as hot and much more capable like the Nintendo Switch. There's being a fan and the there is being a fanatic. While you may not like what they're saying, there is some truth to the horsepower argument. And again like the person that I am replying to said, they are actually putting something on the system. A game that came out of left field and surprised a lot of people with its announcement.
That kind of lashing out and vitriol though is the kind of thing that will make people abandon the system & fans. Especially when they're actually making an effort to give you something where so many others have done nothing but give you excuses & lip service, ignored you completely, or even scoff at your existence as a gamer. Come on folks, stay classy. This isn't n4"g" after all
And as much as I love Nintendo ( and feel that they are the ONLY one out of the big three that can pretty much compete and survive off of their own labors) they need other people's games as well. If not just to diversify the lineup and shorten the time between so-called droughts that Fanboys like to talk about. Like I said before, there are plenty of Developers out there for you to crap on & perhaps deserve your ire, but I don't believe these guys are one of them.
Exactly. People like that are sold freaking annoying. Not only is it stupid to ASSume that the person hasn't had a lot of rpg experience, but then to act like their opinion is even remotely more valid than the person who's enjoying themselves is pretty condescending & belittling. I understand that you may not agree or don't like what they like, but they're talking about their experiences and not your own.
With due respect, they didn't ask how YOU felt. So really who are you & why should your opinion even be considered when nobody asked & they're talking about their own experiences? I have to remind people like this sometimes that my world nor any other revolves around them.
Lol @ how triggered this kid is. Why are you so mad? I pray that you're a woman, because not even my baby sister has ever whined this much. Sit down kid. And as all that jibba jabba that I am not going to bother with reading...Yaaaaaaaawn.
First off, you're the same clown that saying that it's not a popularity contest and yet failed tp remember that YOUR dumb @$$ was one that felt the need to introduced user reviews & suxh into the discussion to try & prop up your garbage @$$ point kiddo..
Not going to lie, I skinmed through most of that & checked out through the rest I would say. You're devolving to quickly to consider going any further with. I'm beginning to feel like Usain Bolt racing Stephen Hawking in a 100 metres at this point.
So you go ahead & get whatever you need to get off your chest lil' buddy. As I forgot that there's an ignore feature & I won't have to hear you felate yakuza anymore. Because your gargling at this moment. Go get 'em tiger!😅
Lol what in the hell are you going on about? So all that crap and incoherent spewed just to make excuses & change the subject. So now it's because of AC, Pan!c Button and whatever the hell else you're rambling about. There are plenty of games that are released in stacked months that are successful. And even if they're not successful that month they continue to sell to a base. You do know that games sell outside of the opening mouth, right? Titles like gran gurismo usually accumulate the bulk of their sales that way.
I also love the little tidbit where you tried the throw a little dig like someone cares about what Ubisoft is doing by not putting AC on the Switch. Wait, was that supposed to be a burn or something kiddo? Oooo so sick brah! Lmao, I have an Xbox One X lil' buddy. I have the option to play THE best version of that game that's available for consoles if I so choose. And yet to this day, I have an unopened copy of Black Flag sitting over there on my coffee table for crying out loud. Clearly Assassin's Creed isn't that important to me. And it it ever became so, since I'm not beholden to one toy,/company/console maker. I don't have to miss out unless I choose to miss out So like you said earlier, try sgain. 😅
See, instead of moving the goalposts, making excuses, and blabbering all over the f'ing place like yourself here, I simply addressed your point (or lack thereof) about Wolfenstein 2. I saw the info posted in a thread at reddit, resetera or somewhere else, but I'm sure that you can look for yourself and find the same info that I saw if you really want evidence of it not doing gangbusters on those larger userbases (and supposedly sure bets). WELL before the game hit the Nintendo Switch. I've heard that this Google thing can help you out with that. Maybe that's a big damn reason why when people are talking about how you can get a cheap on other systems that they can.
Anyway, you're starting to get annoying. The good thing about this place though is that there's an ignore option here. Time to test it out and see how well it works. There may be others who may be willing to put up with your & see your garbage around here, but I'm not one of them. Maybe if more people did that, you'd be less inclined to spew it. I'm sure though you'll have fun "setting me straight" but I'll be too busy not knowing or giving AF. 😉😁 Have fun wasting your time, because I'm tired of wasting mine with you .
Yeah, but this guy isn't just some random person on the internet or some troll, zealot fanboy or something with an agenda. So I dunno what the Switch's library has to do with the price of tea in china. This is a guy who's actually been in the industry for quite a bit, who's assuredly worked with diverse talent & devs from all corners of the globe, has seen the work proces play out, the ideas thrown back & forth, and been hands/eyes on knowning about a lot of these projects (like how they're coming along conceptually, asset wise & more) well before we get a sniff. Not to mention that I'm pretty sure he's worked on projects for other platforms as well. Which is why I was trying to find a correlation between his opinion and the Switch's library.
In any case,he certainly lends a bit more credence with his opinion & insight than the average joe. And even then, there is a cross roads where the average Joe and the devis working in the industry can meet and agree on some things. And on this particular instance, I certainly agree & get where he's coming from
Yeah, I definitely second that. I have been saying the same for years myself. The canvas for ideas, experiments & imagination as far as videogames is too vast IMO to be pigeon holed & stifled by such apathy & lacking creativity.
And yet it (Wolfenstein 2) wasn't doing that great or becoming a huge success on the ps4 or other platforms at all either. So much for the vaunted userbase & all that with this example, am I right? Perhaps you should have checked your facts before throwing that particular quip & example out there. As it's been common knowledge for quite some time now that Wolfenstein 2 wasn't doing that great. Given your usual slant though, we can understand here how you may have missed that tidbit. So what point were you trying to make with that one again ace?
Actually I was just being as silly as your you were with your summarization of The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild. And Jesus, is this gal/guy THAT desperate that we've moved to user reviews now to try & help themselves feel better about yakuza 0 being snubbed by...well pretty much everyone when it came to recognizing the best of 2017? Lmao
Okay kiddo, while you're mildly entertaining, it is starting to wear thin. First off, who the hell cares about user reviews when we know for fact that some folks have been proven to give bad ones to games not on their system, they don't like. While in other cases they've all to happy to do the opposite to games exclusive to their box & such.
I remember reading several threads & articles on other sites where people were getting caught & even outright admitting that they were trying to lower scores for games. There were even some extreme (and known) sony fanboys from n4g caught red handed doing this because they were pissed that Zelda burst their little horizon zero dawn bubble. So they did what many a fanboy & little hater (like your clearly being) does & went crying on the net because you're opinion was clearly shown to be abnormal & in the minority; as your love for a certain game/toy wasn't shared & was left majorly unrequited.
And just to spit on, expose & deconstruct your little user review argument further (& also show any & everyone that reads our back & forth here at Nintendo Life how desperate you are here) let's point out how you conveniently forgot to mention that there are at least 10,000 more reviews for BOTW than there is yakuza 0 lmao. I could probably go make a video of me farting in my bubble bath & get more interest in 36 hours than yakuza 0 has amassed on Metacritic currently. And even with the disparity as far as user reviews BOTW is STILL only .3 lower than yakuza. Funny how you forgot to research or mention that little tid bit kiddo😉. However, that score in the green though? Yeeeeah; that's not up for debate or even close though bruh!
So even though you keep popping up like a bad rash (and on your way to becoming as irritating) this is getting sad now. You like yakuza, cool man. More power to you. It never really piqued my interests, but it's great that it tickled yours. I'm just (like the majority of others it seems are) more into The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild than I would be yakuza 0. Now, can we be done? Please go away now
I am okay without world honestly. I'm actually hoping that they're working on an entirely original/custom game for the Switch. This is capcom though. And there are countless examples of them more often than not making dumb & head-scratching decisions
I am with you there. And a lot of Nintendo only gamers should be as well. Heck, even though I have other systems, I've been buying them on the Switch when available and may continue to do so because of the portability. There was nothing like watching my buddy's eyes light up when he was able to play a full game of 2K at work yesterday when it was slow. Or when when my buddy who is all about fortnite was able to play three matches while we waited for it to get busy. And being able to blow Nazis heads off while on my commute or riding shotgun on a long ride to the beach can't be beat.
And since they are fairly decent ports I don't mind nearly as much. I double dipped on Doom, just purchased Wolfenstein 2 last week and may grab Warframe from them. Instead of whining & worrying about what you're not getting like some were in that Yakuza thread yesterday, how about we support people that are actually going out of their way to give you quality experiences and quality ports? That's how you get people to take notice, as money talks
No thanks, you can keep your re-skinned shenmue, the bouncer influenced, gta/red dead remption & pretty much any open world game copycat/hybrid kiddo. Just because you are smitten by digital dudes going on top of rooftops & stripping before they brawl doesn't mean I have to be. Let it be great to you; but I will swerve.
So you keep telling yourself what you need to to sleep at night & fight yourself the good fight there lil' buddy. Still don't give a damn about your opinion & it still doesn't make yakuza 0 even an also ran in the GOTY discussions. DEAL. WITH. IT! Ha ha ha ha
Boom. Preach my friend. PREACH. Even made some points better than I probably could have. This clown doesn't know me. I can appreciate the hidden gems like you said and the mega blockbusters. Yet this person is getting all up in a tizzy just because I don't want to play the same game that they're fawning over. I've watched them being played, but they never grabbed me enough to wants to go out and buy it myself.
Not saying it's the devs fault or that the games are bad. It's just that I wasn't impressed enough to purchase the game. There's more than enough out there for me to put my money down on that I will actually enjoy.
So instead of trying to tell somebody why they shouldn't enjoy the games that they do, crap on it without even playing it, making excuses to hate it or something like that, I just go play something else and let them do them. Maybe they should worry more about their own habits instead of what I'm doing with my money, time and games. You think that it's the bee's knees, cool. I was not exactly frothing-at-the-mouth to try it.
And if we want to really pull hairs, I technically HAVE played a yakuza game.However, since I didn't give it a sincere & fully fleshed-out play session, I wanted to be fair to the game and just admit that I didn't play too much of it As I feel that I would need to put a couple of hours in a game before I would say a game is great, terrible, middling or dog s#!t. Something that most people don't even do these days, but I like to to be fair to the people that made the game
Gtfo outta here dude. I absolutely NEVER said that you had to be a sony fanboy to appreciate a series that has been on it. Not even once. I said that the only ones who seem to make a big deal about it are mostly sony fanboys. I know that may be hard for you to decipher or conprehend because I did use the word sony & fanboys together in a sentence, but all the other words & context also matter.
And now your clown @$$ is starting to try & make it personal, I'm about to deal wirh that & be done with you. The fact of the matter is that just because you are in a select group (because I can't even say the minority are with you) that feels yakuza 0 is "the best" doesn't make it close to being fact or even remotely the consensus There were people out there who legitimately felt Superman64 wasn't that bad a game either. And they, just like you, have that right, but that doesn't make it so.
And before your comprehension skills fail you again, am I saying that yakuza is on that level? Nope, not even close. Superman64 was an awfully made game in my experience. Just saying that there's all types of anecdotal evidence, differing opinions or examples of people being fans of things that others aren't what the consensus doesn't or value as much. You can speak for yourself all the hell you want, but you're not going to tell ME that Zelda is overhyped or that Yakuza was the best game of 2017 because YOU say so. TFOH with that noise.
Hell, even when acknowledgements, GOTY (along with other) awards and even the prestigious recognition from his own peers was being doled out, none of them were exactly rushing out to put his Yakuza 0 in the conversation for their best games of 2017. Perhaps an honorable mention or some s#!t sure, but not much else.
You talking about I'm bandwagoning because I don't agree with your pretty unpopular opinion yet you're sitting in a wagon that needs pulling as there aren't as many folks that agree with how great yours is or where your pulling yours.
I honestly don't think most people care. It is simply being discussed because there's an article here is all me thinks. Like I said, it's not like yakuza has exactly been setting the world on fire as of yet dude. Perhaps this guy has a self inflated sense of worth about the series. Again, the only people that I've seen making the biggest deal over this series and going ga ga over it has been sony fanboys in all honesty.
And even then with the largest userbase this gen, it's not like the series has been doing gangbusters there either lol. Probably not even selling to 4% of that base I would wager. Hell, I'd be surprised that as a whole if the franchise has made it into double-digit million territory. And while I'm sure there are disappointed users here for sure, what exactly is there to be salty about?
I mean even if they never wanted to touch a ps4 controller, isn't this game coming to PC? It's not like they have to deprive themselves of the game. And if they do, then clearly the game isn't that relevant or important to them. I mean, these are JUST games after all
There's no rules stating that they can't play the game somewhere else bro. Not everyone is beholden to the box or the logo on it or some extreme fanboy you know. The overuse of the term salty is what's real. As is really just become a way to try to discredit someone's perhaps legitimate feelings. It's overuse is starting to feel like how you maybe would if you saw the whole club still enthusiastically dabbing when you walk in lol
Just because some people are indifferent or their opinion differs doesn't make them salty over this man's opinion or the companies decisions. I've owned all of sony home toys outside of rhe ps3. And not once have I been inclined to play a yakuza game. To those disappointed, I would personally tell them to buck up as it's not the end of the world. Go spend that money the guy helped you save on some other hard working dev work who IS going out of their way to get you "gritty " content.
Bethesda in partnering with Pan!c Button comes to mind. Maybe support Wolfenstein or Doom as they're laboring for you, respect you as gamers it seems, and trying to fill a void for you. Instead of worrying about what you're NOT getting, rally around and don't get complacent with what you ARE.
Put money where the mouth is. And maybe show people like this dude that he DOESN'T know you to typecast & stereotype you. I think that's what most (here) should find offensive afterall. The disrespect to a base that he isn't showing others
Lmao, yeah okay little buddy. You can go sit down somewher now. That game was not even the 5th best game in 2017 ha ha. Even the chore that became horizon zero dawn was a much better title. It seems not too many people have ever given a damn about yakuza. As it has never garnered the sort of success this guy thinks that he deserves or it's worth. The only folks that I've ever known to brag about it or give it much reverence are uber die hard sony fanboys.
LOL, that brings back memories. I remember the days when people would throw that out there when to make a criticism what even worse troll about a crappy game or whatever and not really knowing what the seal actually meant or stood for. Please tell me you're not one of those folks LOL
They have to be something wrong with this person. No person can have this little going on in their life. Honestly I wish that everyone here here would simultaneously put this clown on ignore so that they wouldn't have anyone to talk to and they'd just (hopefully) leave the board. They never really have nothing to say and i most of it ios the same garbage over and over and over again. She/he really needs to go out and get a life, girlfriend, boyfriend or what the hell ever.

Re: It Sucks To Say It, But Castlevania Requiem Isn't Coming To Switch
@Tasuki
Yeah, like I said to others earlier concerning this, get the fark out of here with that. There's no way you're telling me that a port of a Turbo Graphics 16 game and a old playstation one title needed bankrolling to be funded for a company like Konami. A company that has been developing AND publishing all their own AAA games for decades now.
Where as a Platinum needed help to get the first Bayonetta & more of their games published. Here's another fact: Konami are big enough to secure huge licenses like TMNT, Aliens & The Simpsons. Platinum works on liscensed titles like TMNT & Konami's own Metal Gear in order to keep their lights on and secure funding for some of their own pursuits and endeavors. Amazing how as supposedly even remotely in the know gamers we overlook these types of facts & circumstances making some of these statements.
Ironically enough, in your rush to go ahead and label folks who may have something not so glowing to say about this fanboys, you yourself sound just like one. As you're just as quick to regurgitate the same overused & cliche talking point that many of them do when defending a money hatting move for a company that's not Nintendo or their preferred choice. Those two instances are hardly the same.
Re: It Sucks To Say It, But Castlevania Requiem Isn't Coming To Switch
@Knuckles-Fajita
A bit conspiratorial, but now that you mention it, it is kind of a head-scratcher. You're not telling me that it's going to take much to port those games on any system at the moment. The 360, Wii U or ps3 could have even done it justice. Eh, it is what it is though. I didn't even hear about it until literally today when I stopped pass another site. Guess that some companies really don't like money.
And for the people that I've heard talking about oh well it's kind of like the Bayonetta 2 situation here and on other sites, I respectfully say gtfoh with that. The budgets from both of those games combined probably wouldn't even match up to close to what Bayonetta 2 was. We're talkin about some pretty old games here. Games that were on a ps & Turbografx I believe.
And unless they're doing a whole Mario 64 3D makeover or something along with remastering, there is no way the budget for these old games hurt them so much that they needed financing like Bayonetta 2. Konami are in a much better position than Platinum games. It got moneyhatted, plain and simple. Much more respectable when you just own up to it instead of going further out of your way to insult people's intelligence.

Re: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition Announced For Nintendo Switch
@Ryu_Niiyama
That's a very good question. Even if they don't have a strong presence in Japan, they have a pretty good presence in other markets like Europe and the United States. I mean if it's all about da money like some are quick to quip, I see no reason to snub the XBOX & the 40 million or whatever potential buyers on that platform. There's no carts to CDs excuse to use here.
Re: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition Announced For Nintendo Switch
@Frendo
Could be true, could be a conspiracy, but you're surely not lying. I wasn't going to say anything really, but since it's being brought up I will. As it surely is kinda strange how bent out of shape some of these so-called "unbiased gamers" get when it comes to putting those nasty Fanboys in their place, but conveniently only seem to call out what they deem as the Nintendo ones. I mean, you'll have dudes swallowing move controllers and pretty much writing manifestos, adverts & sales pitches fior sony & their products. Straight up shilling & fanboying. And yet there's suddenly quiet as dead Church mice in those instances LOL.
And yeah, strangely enough it does happen more often than not on some of the video game boards. If you even dare leave a comment saying you're not interested in sony, a big fan of their consoles/games you'rebeing called out of your name, your choices questioned to an infinite degree, and so forth. Yet nary a damn thing said to the haters, trolls and possible sony Fanboys who have nothing but negativity towards Nintendo. Lmao And often enough on a Nitendo centric site no less.
And maybe, just maybe I could swallow that I'm just a gamer and I hate fanboyism so I call it out bull$#!* if it wasn't so obviously that. However, when it only (and I mean only) seems to happen with some of these people when it comes to Nintendo fans, it's time to cut the chit. Like I said you'll have folks straight up D riding & publicly fellating sony and they won't say anything to them.
Also, if these are Nintendo Fanboys because they'prefer and want to talk about Nintendo on a Nintendo Centric site, then what the hell would you call some of these jokers here that seem to just wanna troll, criticize & mock Nintendo & these folks that are pretty much where they should be? I'm not going to get to calling out names and everything as it doesn't matter that much, but I can definitely see where you were coming from. Even if it's not something I totally agree with
Re: Nintendo Spends Big On Television Advertising In Month Of August To Fend Off Spider-Man
@Zuljaras
Come on dude, how in the world could you forget about Red Dead Redemption 2? It is far from being a lock for either of those 2 games. I am not even interested in it, but can clearly see the anticipation for it. Where as gamers that I know personally are or were rarely even mentioning gow or spider man much if at all, quite a few of them were & are going on enthusiastically about RDR2.
That"s not to say that they have 0 interest in either of those games or wouldn't/haven't purchased or played those games, but they're more like also rans when RDR2 is mentioned in the equation. And if it lives up to the insane hype & gets that push that rock* usually gives their high profile titles, well let's just say you might want to re-evaluate that prediction & keep some eating utensils nearby for it.
Re: Nintendo Spends Big On Television Advertising In Month Of August To Fend Off Spider-Man
@datamonkey
I hear ya, but why aren't people lectured as much when they do the exact same thing with Nintendo consoles? Lmao on this very board you can find folks that make similar statements about Nintendo that don't get questioned or called out. Hell I've seen people with the audacity to say that the PC has no games worth playing & get less lecturing & being called out for crying out loud. It's like GOD forbid if you say stuff like that about a ps4 or don't care for sony's systems/games though.
Maybe their games don't appeal to them & they have an Xbox or something? Maybe they can only afford or have time for one & they chose a platform that better suits them? Who knows for real, but it's funny that people can say similar things about Nintendo (or even MS systems) yet people get to clutching their pearls if you happen to say that about sony. And that's pretty laughable
Re: Nintendo Spends Big On Television Advertising In Month Of August To Fend Off Spider-Man
@haniwa
Yeah, pretty much. I don't use the term often as it is grossly overused, but that article (& headline especially) is straight up click bait! I don't think that they even care about spider-man"s presence & just doing their own thing as they usually do. Maybe they're just not used to Nintendo being this aggressive with their marketing. Which would be fair as for a good while now they've been lacking in that area honestly IMO.

It pretty much looks like Sunset Overdrive with a spidey skin to me. That is why I find it so funny that some of the very same people that are slobbering over spidey thought that Sunset Overdrive was sooooooo mediocre. Even though you can see so much of that game's DNA and what they learned from it in this spider-man game.
Re: Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 Design Director Laughs Off Question About Switch Release
Yeah, maybe stop parroting s*** trying to sound edgy. Especially when using it out of context. FTR, a "wall of text" is when someone writes a crap ton of stuff WITHOUT breaking it up into paragraphs or using ANY kind of periods or anything. For someone trying to be such a smart-ass, it's a bit ironic thar you were too stupid to realize that you weren't even using the term correctly.
Then again people do seem to be getting dumber by the day. So while I can see how something as simple as a few paragraphs can be intimidating to some of you, it's not like they're unicorns & never existed. So you mate actually sound dumber than your f'ing cat. Don't come for me kid, as when you strike at a king you must kill him! Then again, I forgot we can ignore list ppl here. Goodbye 😉
Re: Hands On: Streets Of Rage 4 Is A Grand (Upper) Revival
@carlos82
The difference is the messenger seem to be using hand drawn animations & as advanced effects for the backdrops and everything. From the little that I've seen (& what we've gathered from those getting a behind the scenes look) everything from the lighting to the more fluid motion streets of rage 4"s doing much more ambitious things aesthetically than The Messenger is.
And even as 16 and 8 bit games go, The Messenger isn't exactly the best that I think that I've seen art style wise in those bit ranges. And given the budget that they're probably working with, I can understand why they don't want to take any extra resources away from what they're trying to do. It seems Sega doesn't even want to put a big budget behind it and they are the creators of the franchise. Maybe if this goes over well, they'll maybe consider doing something like that in its next iteration.
Re: Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 Design Director Laughs Off Question About Switch Release
@Guiltygear
We'te talking about games that were running on a ps3/360 bruh. And let's be real, as far as cod goes, the games don't look much better than a lot of the games prior. Just with bumped up fx. Even the Wii was able to use some of the more contemporaneous effects at the time.
And what else is probably making folks say gtfoh with this is that a much better looking game such as Doom Eternal is making it's way to the system. While this game isn't looking too much better than efforts from last gen, they are putting a game that is aesthetically more pleasing (regardless of whatever compromises are being made) on the system. I as not for nothing, when is the last time people actually went Gaga for a Call of Duty game. That's not hate or anything. As I have the most capable console out on the market right now to play it on and yet I don't give a s*** about it.
It is certainly better for the console to have the game than to not. And I would almost certainly question the motives or genuineness of a person arguing in the favor of less games onna console. However, call of duty has been losing its respect with gaming fans for years now. Well before the we're not going to put a cod game on the Switch moment. The multiple amounts of threads, articles and comments that you can see berating and criticizing the series is testament to that. And it certainly not all Nintendo game as. As a Nintendo gamer will most likely not give much of a damn about call of duty as much anymore as cod doesn't seem to give much of a damn about them.
Re: Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 Design Director Laughs Off Question About Switch Release
@EightBitMan
I definitely agree with you about the need for 3rd parties given that they give such a big boost to a system & it's library (especially non Nintendo ones) but lmao what has respawn actually done for real? Especially to have a laugh @ anybody. They got big for their britches leaving MS's help on the table & became ea's lapdog. And are now at their beckon call. Then they made tf2 & cried about their game not being able to compete with others when it pretty much flopped given that they'd went rushing to expand their base by releasing on the vaunted & supposed savior ps4.
Where as Nintendo bounced back & released 2 TWO GOTY caliber games in Zelda & Mario Odyssey. With Zelda possibly being the GOTG. Made a new IP in Arms that has probably sold close to what tf2 has with even less advertising. Have gotten folks like Bethesda to put games like Doom Eternal, Wolfenstein:TNC & such on the system that hadn't or wouldn't have graced it before. Blizzard hadn't been on board for a while either & at least has an effort coming in Diablo. There are other examples such as Warframe & Paladins as well. So while they may not have EVERY single western dev, they've been making much better strides than before.
And while respawn's been pretty much invisible/quiet as of late & having their game discounted like a month later, people like Bethesda, Square Enix & others seem to be happy eating on a Nintendo platform. So at the end of the day, it certainly seems like Nintendo would be the ones to get the last laugh in that regard. However, given the current situation, they're probably too busy counting money & being happy about their current success to even GAF or even think about those clowns lol.
Re: Hands On: Streets Of Rage 4 Is A Grand (Upper) Revival
@Razer
I hear you man, but unfortunately many of these so-called gamer these days don't appreciate that genre. If it's not Battle Royale, first person or some game pretending to be a movie with it's c level plot & dialogue groveling to be taken seriously, it could be a hard sell. Especially if it's not an instantly recognizable franchise . And given how Streets of Rage is definitely nostalgic for a lot of old schoolg amers, new Age gamers may not know as much about it. Nor give it much reverence Think to yourself the last time that you've seen a side-scrolling beating them up? Especially with a huge budget and lots of promotion behind it.
Re: Hands On: Streets Of Rage 4 Is A Grand (Upper) Revival
@carlos82
Doubt that it will as it is a brand new game & not a remake like the first Wonder Boy game that they did. So they really wouldn't have no base game (or that nostalgia) to switch back to. To do that they would have to make two completely different games. And I don't think any company would really want to develop two separate games just to have the switching back and forth gimmick.

Re: Soapbox: Why I Prefer Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate To World
@Axlroselm
I don't know man, because unlike a lot of the Fanboys and haters here, it sounds like he actually doesn't have a problem picking up another system. Granted it takes a little brain power to figure this out, but given the fact that the game is not on Nintendo's console and yet they purchased it day one, you could easily do the deuce that they had no problem owning another system capable of playing it on. You know, like most normal games do that aren't sitting around trying to stir up childish toy wars like yourself.
I guess you missed the part where they mentioned that they were a day one buyer of monster hunter world. So unlike like a lot of the haters out there these days that don't even own or have played the games or systems that they're hating on, this person put their money where their mouth was. And they supported capcom on their endeavour immediately. And in doing so realize that they liked what Monster Hunter Generations offered more.
And the thing is, it's not even like it's some anomaly. As there's been plenty of people who have said that. From sites including IGN to n4"g". Let us guess, those are all Nintendo centric sites as well huh buddy? LMAO So maybe, just maybe you can take your Fanboy BS somewhere else a bit more deserving. Just because someone has a preference does not mean that they are tied to a system like some console Warriors.
Re: One Piece: World Seeker Producer Will Consider Switch Release, If Fans Request It
@Aozz101x
Lol see I'm a bit of a of a different Beast with that. As if I want it on a preferred platform and you can or might put it on there, but won't for whatever reasons, I simply won't buy your game at all. Sure I may have another capable system, but I may want to play it when I go out of town, during a commute or when I'm bored as hell at work. These things are certainly a factor, and it's also about having a choice.
And with practices like that you are effectively limiting that and trying to shoehorn where I play and how I make a choice. So you may just lose a sale all together with your bulls***. Which I'm sure is not a problem for some other developer out there, because that just means I'll spend my money with them a bit quicker. Hell, maybe look at some games that I may not have really considered purchasing at that point in time or at all and give them a chance to grab a new fan.
Re: One Piece: World Seeker Producer Will Consider Switch Release, If Fans Request It
@Blizzia
Exactly my fellow gamer. Acting like them releasing a game is a privilege for us. Hell no it's not. It's not like it's a necessity such as food or water or anything. It's JUST a game Besides that, remember to tell yourself that there are plenty of other people out there releasing games to grab your cash, hard-earned or otherwise. That's what I've always done after all. You don't want to support me, well then I don't support you, simple as that. I'll give my money to another hard-working Dev who wants my money and seems to respect me as a customer.
Look at what Bethesda's doing for you as a customer for example . They didn't make you beg for Doom Eternal or leave you in limbo wondering if you could see it on your preferred platform. They just factored you into the equation and are giving it to you. And while they may not be able to put every game on the Nintendo Switch given it's obvious hybrid nature & obvious lesser specs going with that, they are definitely supporting the device and their fans a lot more respectfully and earnestly.
Again, they're putting the new Doom on there for goodness sake! A sequel to a game that many people had as a game of the year that year. While they're wanting people to beg for another One Piece game that will probably not even ever be considered in the same vein. And I say that not trying to disrespect one piece fans or diminish the title in their eyes (or at all really) but just giving out my personal take on it.
And even if you want to respectfully ask for this game, remember to tell them that It's a privilege for YOU to have ME buy YOUR game for real. As it's my money that's helping YOUR bottomline and not the other way around. Remind them that you should not have to beg a be thankful as there is definitely no favor being done in you giving them your money and them giving you a product. It's about time that somebody's property companies realize that. And that you you make them respect you as a gamer and potential customer. Let them know that you're not going to beg them all the time.
To those people interested, your money spends and is green just like the other user bases and people that they are catering to like sony's. And given that they're not giving you any bonus content, most likely, won't optimize it wholeheartedly for the system, are making you wait and almost assuredly going 2 charge you full price as well, it is clear that they're not going to look out for you to do you any favors. F that begging stuff at this point!
Re: One Piece: World Seeker Producer Will Consider Switch Release, If Fans Request It
@geheimxy
Well I agree with you a bit about it maybe not looking all that good, I also have to take into account that I'm not really in the One Piece series. And yeah, I can see it being a seven out of ten type of game. Isn't that what they're usually all around? However I do disagree with your statement about it not being very good and then being in the 7 of out of 10 range.. As a 7 out of 10 in and of itself is very much above average. I don't know how or when a 7 out of 10 game starting to be viewed as a bad game.
Re: One Piece: World Seeker Producer Will Consider Switch Release, If Fans Request It
@MsJubilee
Straight up man. At this point they should be eager to put it on the system. Now don't get me wrong, I can understand some of the trepidation at first (seeing as how Nintendo players at some time left 3rd parties out to dry when it came to buying their games), but at this point it seems like there's too many examples of people having decent to excellent success to be kissing someone's butt to get a game.
Especially since it's not like they're doing Nintendo fans a huge favor when they put games on the system. It's not like they're releasing the game late and discounting the price, going the extra mile with added content for the wait or something like that. People are paying full price just like the other users. So you charge Nintendo fans full price just like the other users, but you want to give it to them way later as well.
At this point, it should cost you more to sell me that game then. As now I want something added or a discounted price for making me wait all that time if I'm still buying it. Luckily though I'm not exactly into One Piece. Although I can still empathize with their fans.

Yeah, that's true. However, not every game that deserves to sell does. Just like there's tons of games that sell gangbusters that's some me feel unworthy.

Unfortunately that's just how it is sometimes.

Re: Head Of Abstraction Games Addresses Technical Performance Of The Switch
@JasmineDragon
I definitely have to agree with you there as you make some very good points. And it's something that I've been saying for quite a while. There are plenty of dads out there that deserve your ire, but this isn't one of them. Especially since they are actually announcing something. What about some of these bigger guys like EA, Ubisoft (to a lesser extent) and others? Hell, crapcom are a MUCH bigger offender considering how they lick sony's crack. Crap, they would much rather consider putting games on the garbage vita before they would Nintendo consoles.
Companies that can find ways to put that games on mobile platforms but not one that's as hot and much more capable like the Nintendo Switch. There's being a fan and the there is being a fanatic. While you may not like what they're saying, there is some truth to the horsepower argument. And again like the person that I am replying to said, they are actually putting something on the system. A game that came out of left field and surprised a lot of people with its announcement.
That kind of lashing out and vitriol though is the kind of thing that will make people abandon the system & fans. Especially when they're actually making an effort to give you something where so many others have done nothing but give you excuses & lip service, ignored you completely, or even scoff at your existence as a gamer. Come on folks, stay classy. This isn't n4"g" after all
And as much as I love Nintendo ( and feel that they are the ONLY one out of the big three that can pretty much compete and survive off of their own labors) they need other people's games as well. If not just to diversify the lineup and shorten the time between so-called droughts that Fanboys like to talk about. Like I said before, there are plenty of Developers out there for you to crap on & perhaps deserve your ire, but I don't believe these guys are one of them.
Re: Octopath Traveler Ships One Million Copies Worldwide In Just Three Weeks
@Matthew010
Exactly. People like that are sold freaking annoying. Not only is it stupid to ASSume that the person hasn't had a lot of rpg experience, but then to act like their opinion is even remotely more valid than the person who's enjoying themselves is pretty condescending & belittling. I understand that you may not agree or don't like what they like, but they're talking about their experiences and not your own.
With due respect, they didn't ask how YOU felt. So really who are you & why should your opinion even be considered when nobody asked & they're talking about their own experiences? I have to remind people like this sometimes that my world nor any other revolves around them.

@BigKing
Lol @ how triggered this kid is. Why are you so mad? I pray that you're a woman, because not even my baby sister has ever whined this much. Sit down kid. And as all that jibba jabba that I am not going to bother with reading...Yaaaaaaaawn.
First off, you're the same clown that saying that it's not a popularity contest and yet failed tp remember that YOUR dumb @$$ was one that felt the need to introduced user reviews & suxh into the discussion to try & prop up your garbage @$$ point kiddo..
Not going to lie, I skinmed through most of that & checked out through the rest I would say. You're devolving to quickly to consider going any further with. I'm beginning to feel like Usain Bolt racing Stephen Hawking in a 100 metres at this point.
So you go ahead & get whatever you need to get off your chest lil' buddy. As I forgot that there's an ignore feature & I won't have to hear you felate yakuza anymore. Because your gargling at this moment. Go get 'em tiger!😅
Re: Switch Isn't The Right Platform For Yakuza, Says Series Producer
@Agramonte
Lol what in the hell are you going on about? So all that crap and incoherent spewed just to make excuses & change the subject. So now it's because of AC, Pan!c Button and whatever the hell else you're rambling about. There are plenty of games that are released in stacked months that are successful. And even if they're not successful that month they continue to sell to a base. You do know that games sell outside of the opening mouth, right? Titles like gran gurismo usually accumulate the bulk of their sales that way.
I also love the little tidbit where you tried the throw a little dig like someone cares about what Ubisoft is doing by not putting AC on the Switch. Wait, was that supposed to be a burn or something kiddo? Oooo so sick brah! Lmao, I have an Xbox One X lil' buddy. I have the option to play THE best version of that game that's available for consoles if I so choose. And yet to this day, I have an unopened copy of Black Flag sitting over there on my coffee table for crying out loud. Clearly Assassin's Creed isn't that important to me. And it it ever became so, since I'm not beholden to one toy,/company/console maker. I don't have to miss out unless I choose to miss out So like you said earlier, try sgain. 😅
See, instead of moving the goalposts, making excuses, and blabbering all over the f'ing place like yourself here, I simply addressed your point (or lack thereof) about Wolfenstein 2. I saw the info posted in a thread at reddit, resetera or somewhere else, but I'm sure that you can look for yourself and find the same info that I saw if you really want evidence of it not doing gangbusters on those larger userbases (and supposedly sure bets). WELL before the game hit the Nintendo Switch. I've heard that this Google thing can help you out with that. Maybe that's a big damn reason why when people are talking about how you can get a cheap on other systems that they can.
Anyway, you're starting to get annoying. The good thing about this place though is that there's an ignore option here. Time to test it out and see how well it works. There may be others who may be willing to put up with your & see your garbage around here, but I'm not one of them. Maybe if more people did that, you'd be less inclined to spew it. I'm sure though you'll have fun "setting me straight" but I'll be too busy not knowing or giving AF. 😉😁 Have fun wasting your time, because I'm tired of wasting mine with you .
Re: Daemon X Machina Producer Believes A Lot Of Modern Games Look The Same
@zool
Yeah, but this guy isn't just some random person on the internet or some troll, zealot fanboy or something with an agenda. So I dunno what the Switch's library has to do with the price of tea in china. This is a guy who's actually been in the industry for quite a bit, who's assuredly worked with diverse talent & devs from all corners of the globe, has seen the work proces play out, the ideas thrown back & forth, and been hands/eyes on knowning about a lot of these projects (like how they're coming along conceptually, asset wise & more) well before we get a sniff. Not to mention that I'm pretty sure he's worked on projects for other platforms as well. Which is why I was trying to find a correlation between his opinion and the Switch's library.
In any case,he certainly lends a bit more credence with his opinion & insight than the average joe. And even then, there is a cross roads where the average Joe and the devis working in the industry can meet and agree on some things. And on this particular instance, I certainly agree & get where he's coming from
Re: Daemon X Machina Producer Believes A Lot Of Modern Games Look The Same
@SoObsolete
Yeah, I definitely second that. I have been saying the same for years myself. The canvas for ideas, experiments & imagination as far as videogames is too vast IMO to be pigeon holed & stifled by such apathy & lacking creativity.
Re: Switch Isn't The Right Platform For Yakuza, Says Series Producer
@Agramonte
And yet it (Wolfenstein 2) wasn't doing that great or becoming a huge success on the ps4 or other platforms at all either. So much for the vaunted userbase & all that with this example, am I right? Perhaps you should have checked your facts before throwing that particular quip & example out there. As it's been common knowledge for quite some time now that Wolfenstein 2 wasn't doing that great. Given your usual slant though, we can understand here how you may have missed that tidbit. So what point were you trying to make with that one again ace?
Re: Switch Isn't The Right Platform For Yakuza, Says Series Producer
@BigKing
Actually I was just being as silly as your you were with your summarization of The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild. And Jesus, is this gal/guy THAT desperate that we've moved to user reviews now to try & help themselves feel better about yakuza 0 being snubbed by...well pretty much everyone when it came to recognizing the best of 2017? Lmao
Okay kiddo, while you're mildly entertaining, it is starting to wear thin. First off, who the hell cares about user reviews when we know for fact that some folks have been proven to give bad ones to games not on their system, they don't like. While in other cases they've all to happy to do the opposite to games exclusive to their box & such.
I remember reading several threads & articles on other sites where people were getting caught & even outright admitting that they were trying to lower scores for games. There were even some extreme (and known) sony fanboys from n4g caught red handed doing this because they were pissed that Zelda burst their little horizon zero dawn bubble. So they did what many a fanboy & little hater (like your clearly being) does & went crying on the net because you're opinion was clearly shown to be abnormal & in the minority; as your love for a certain game/toy wasn't shared & was left majorly unrequited.
And just to spit on, expose & deconstruct your little user review argument further (& also show any & everyone that reads our back & forth here at Nintendo Life how desperate you are here) let's point out how you conveniently forgot to mention that there are at least 10,000 more reviews for BOTW than there is yakuza 0 lmao. I could probably go make a video of me farting in my bubble bath & get more interest in 36 hours than yakuza 0 has amassed on Metacritic currently. And even with the disparity as far as user reviews BOTW is STILL only .3 lower than yakuza. Funny how you forgot to research or mention that little tid bit kiddo😉. However, that score in the green though? Yeeeeah; that's not up for debate or even close though bruh!
So even though you keep popping up like a bad rash (and on your way to becoming as irritating) this is getting sad now. You like yakuza, cool man. More power to you. It never really piqued my interests, but it's great that it tickled yours. I'm just (like the majority of others it seems are) more into The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild than I would be yakuza 0. Now, can we be done? Please go away now
Re: Panic Button Says It Has "Tons" Of Switch Projects Coming Up
@Joeynator3000
I am okay without world honestly. I'm actually hoping that they're working on an entirely original/custom game for the Switch. This is capcom though. And there are countless examples of them more often than not making dumb & head-scratching decisions
Re: Panic Button Says It Has "Tons" Of Switch Projects Coming Up
@Jmo
I am with you there. And a lot of Nintendo only gamers should be as well. Heck, even though I have other systems, I've been buying them on the Switch when available and may continue to do so because of the portability. There was nothing like watching my buddy's eyes light up when he was able to play a full game of 2K at work yesterday when it was slow. Or when when my buddy who is all about fortnite was able to play three matches while we waited for it to get busy. And being able to blow Nazis heads off while on my commute or riding shotgun on a long ride to the beach can't be beat.
And since they are fairly decent ports I don't mind nearly as much. I double dipped on Doom, just purchased Wolfenstein 2 last week and may grab Warframe from them. Instead of whining & worrying about what you're not getting like some were in that Yakuza thread yesterday, how about we support people that are actually going out of their way to give you quality experiences and quality ports? That's how you get people to take notice, as money talks

No thanks, you can keep your re-skinned shenmue, the bouncer influenced, gta/red dead remption & pretty much any open world game copycat/hybrid kiddo. Just because you are smitten by digital dudes going on top of rooftops & stripping before they brawl doesn't mean I have to be. Let it be great to you; but I will swerve.
So you keep telling yourself what you need to to sleep at night & fight yourself the good fight there lil' buddy. Still don't give a damn about your opinion & it still doesn't make yakuza 0 even an also ran in the GOTY discussions. DEAL. WITH. IT! Ha ha ha ha
Re: Switch Isn't The Right Platform For Yakuza, Says Series Producer
@Sondheimist
@Sondheimist
Boom. Preach my friend. PREACH. Even made some points better than I probably could have. This clown doesn't know me. I can appreciate the hidden gems like you said and the mega blockbusters. Yet this person is getting all up in a tizzy just because I don't want to play the same game that they're fawning over. I've watched them being played, but they never grabbed me enough to wants to go out and buy it myself.
Not saying it's the devs fault or that the games are bad. It's just that I wasn't impressed enough to purchase the game. There's more than enough out there for me to put my money down on that I will actually enjoy.
So instead of trying to tell somebody why they shouldn't enjoy the games that they do, crap on it without even playing it, making excuses to hate it or something like that, I just go play something else and let them do them. Maybe they should worry more about their own habits instead of what I'm doing with my money, time and games. You think that it's the bee's knees, cool. I was not exactly frothing-at-the-mouth to try it.
And if we want to really pull hairs, I technically HAVE played a yakuza game.However, since I didn't give it a sincere & fully fleshed-out play session, I wanted to be fair to the game and just admit that I didn't play too much of it As I feel that I would need to put a couple of hours in a game before I would say a game is great, terrible, middling or dog s#!t. Something that most people don't even do these days, but I like to to be fair to the people that made the game
Re: Switch Isn't The Right Platform For Yakuza, Says Series Producer
@BigKing
Gtfo outta here dude. I absolutely NEVER said that you had to be a sony fanboy to appreciate a series that has been on it. Not even once. I said that the only ones who seem to make a big deal about it are mostly sony fanboys. I know that may be hard for you to decipher or conprehend because I did use the word sony & fanboys together in a sentence, but all the other words & context also matter.
And now your clown @$$ is starting to try & make it personal, I'm about to deal wirh that & be done with you. The fact of the matter is that just because you are in a select group (because I can't even say the minority are with you) that feels yakuza 0 is "the best" doesn't make it close to being fact or even remotely the consensus There were people out there who legitimately felt Superman64 wasn't that bad a game either. And they, just like you, have that right, but that doesn't make it so.
And before your comprehension skills fail you again, am I saying that yakuza is on that level? Nope, not even close. Superman64 was an awfully made game in my experience. Just saying that there's all types of anecdotal evidence, differing opinions or examples of people being fans of things that others aren't what the consensus doesn't or value as much. You can speak for yourself all the hell you want, but you're not going to tell ME that Zelda is overhyped or that Yakuza was the best game of 2017 because YOU say so. TFOH with that noise.
Hell, even when acknowledgements, GOTY (along with other) awards and even the prestigious recognition from his own peers was being doled out, none of them were exactly rushing out to put his Yakuza 0 in the conversation for their best games of 2017. Perhaps an honorable mention or some s#!t sure, but not much else.
You talking about I'm bandwagoning because I don't agree with your pretty unpopular opinion yet you're sitting in a wagon that needs pulling as there aren't as many folks that agree with how great yours is or where your pulling yours.
Re: Switch Isn't The Right Platform For Yakuza, Says Series Producer
@BigKing
If you actually read what I typed (even before the edit) the answer would be obvious amigo/amiga.
Re: Switch Isn't The Right Platform For Yakuza, Says Series Producer
@Deadlyblack
I honestly don't think most people care. It is simply being discussed because there's an article here is all me thinks. Like I said, it's not like yakuza has exactly been setting the world on fire as of yet dude. Perhaps this guy has a self inflated sense of worth about the series. Again, the only people that I've seen making the biggest deal over this series and going ga ga over it has been sony fanboys in all honesty.
And even then with the largest userbase this gen, it's not like the series has been doing gangbusters there either lol. Probably not even selling to 4% of that base I would wager. Hell, I'd be surprised that as a whole if the franchise has made it into double-digit million territory. And while I'm sure there are disappointed users here for sure, what exactly is there to be salty about?
I mean even if they never wanted to touch a ps4 controller, isn't this game coming to PC? It's not like they have to deprive themselves of the game. And if they do, then clearly the game isn't that relevant or important to them. I mean, these are JUST games after all
There's no rules stating that they can't play the game somewhere else bro. Not everyone is beholden to the box or the logo on it or some extreme fanboy you know. The overuse of the term salty is what's real. As is really just become a way to try to discredit someone's perhaps legitimate feelings. It's overuse is starting to feel like how you maybe would if you saw the whole club still enthusiastically dabbing when you walk in lol
Just because some people are indifferent or their opinion differs doesn't make them salty over this man's opinion or the companies decisions. I've owned all of sony home toys outside of rhe ps3. And not once have I been inclined to play a yakuza game. To those disappointed, I would personally tell them to buck up as it's not the end of the world. Go spend that money the guy helped you save on some other hard working dev work who IS going out of their way to get you "gritty " content.
Bethesda in partnering with Pan!c Button comes to mind. Maybe support Wolfenstein or Doom as they're laboring for you, respect you as gamers it seems, and trying to fill a void for you. Instead of worrying about what you're NOT getting, rally around and don't get complacent with what you ARE.
Put money where the mouth is. And maybe show people like this dude that he DOESN'T know you to typecast & stereotype you. I think that's what most (here) should find offensive afterall. The disrespect to a base that he isn't showing others

Lmao, yeah okay little buddy. You can go sit down somewher now. That game was not even the 5th best game in 2017 ha ha. Even the chore that became horizon zero dawn was a much better title. It seems not too many people have ever given a damn about yakuza. As it has never garnered the sort of success this guy thinks that he deserves or it's worth. The only folks that I've ever known to brag about it or give it much reverence are uber die hard sony fanboys.
