Nintendo switch thread for mental patients

[flipswitch]

Jasper is probably looking for the sales data for those games as a comeback.

[Candy Arse]

They probably outsold ARMS

[t0mby]

Didn't they have that exclusive Zelda?

Two of them!

Is that for real?

You can't make this shit up!

[GameHED]

Nintendo should re-release those games on the eshop just for laughs.

Fuck I'm glad I viewed your hidden post. That's the shortest post you've ever made. I bet they'd sell too, exclusively to Switch cos it needs games.

[GameHED]

We have all become way too obsessed with numbers. Both Candy And Jasper want to focus so much on stats and I have to warn you guys that the general gaming community has started to abandon the idea that such and such game that only got 75% while the other such and such game got 90% must mean that the 90% game is much better than the other one.

The truth is our taste in games has a lot more weight in whether we buy things.

To know if something is amazing you should be forced to play it first before being allowed to talk about it if only because people's taste in games varies a lot.

While eurogamer thought Horizon was generic, and Jim Sterling thought Zelda BOTW was only 7, what really matters is what YOU think when you play it.

We need to stop using scientism in rating games. (applying science and numbering into things where it really doesn't belong)

Eurogamer gave Wolfenstein a shit score of 6. While others thought it was way better than the usual Call of Duty game which always gets the 9s from the likes of IGN.

Fuck numbers. Start giving in-depth reasons why you think things suck or don't suck without being dogmatic in how you came to the conclusions as if it's a science. It's not science. There is a lot of subjectivity behind why people like things. SFV and ARMs are both games "under construction" with a promise of more things added on to it which will appear in future so I can see from a mathematical perspective why they would have to lower the score because the game will be more complete in a future date, but it's not representative of whether it's fun to YOU. People are too obsessed with numbers and it doesn't surprise me anymore that companies like Bethesda are trying to avoid letting the professional reviewers from having monopoly on getting out information about games and instead are letting the amatuer ones post their opinions roughly the same time as others to balance out the power.

With this new system of rebalancing who gets what information and at how early a time, it means that lesser-known developers don't have to suck up to the media establishment and can look for alternative youtube influencers to get noticed - ie games like wolfenstein, Horizon Zero Dawn can be called "generic" by the likes of eurogamer, and giant Bomb can say ARMs is shit, but it doesn't matter if total biscuit or ACG give it a big thumbs up, and Edge tells us a different story about ARMs than all the others.

At the end of the day the critics have different tastes and so do YOU. Nobody can say for sure who is the "right" opinion since they all differ. It should never be just about numbers anymore. Yes people can all agree on some games like Witcher 3 being awesome, (psssst! but don't tell candy it only got 8 from Edge Magazine which means it's worse than Zelda BOTW which got 10) but even these can be flawed because of things like combat that isn't as good as Zelda or Horizon Zero Dawn which would be a deal-breaker for people who are used to playing games with involving action where timing is important and knowing how long or short your attack is and where to stand by paying attention to things like footwork like in sports games. It's the reason why fighting games are still popular today because you are rewarded for things like spacing and timing and understanding body mechanics of each character's moves. The same skills used in real martial arts can also be applied in combat systems in fighting games and weapon combat in action RPG if the developers let the systems go to enough depth to allow players to distinguish themselves from the beginners. (looking forward to Kingdom Come BTW)

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Tekken 7:

SFV:

ARMS has sold over 100K copies within it's first week in Japan - meaning it sold as many copies as Tekken 7 and Street Fighter V COMBINED within their first week in Japan!

Well Nintendo owners in Japan are desperate for something to play. How well is ARMs selling in other countries or do you only acknowledge the ones that suit your agenda?

[Jasper]

Oh shit... it get's even better!

ARMS in just 3 days has OUTSOLD Tekken 7's LIFETIME SALES In Japan!!!

The game’s impressive sales dwarfs Tekken 7’s debut week numbers of 58,736, and it’s already beaten the fighter’s lifetime sales figure of 76,603. Arms also sold double the units that Street Fighter 5 managed in it’s first week – 46,836 – making it one of the biggest fighting games in years.

How the fuck did I miss this gameplay footage of Super Mario Odyssey? Nintendo's merging of both a true 3D Mario platformer with a 2D Mario platformer is magnificent!

This game is going to be so motherfucking epic and spectacular...only four months to go!!!

[Candy Arse]

720p sub 60fps

[Rorschach]

Really? It's bad enough the PS4 and Xbone hit 900p in some games, 720p is so 360/PS3 generation...

[Candy Arse]

So not only is ARMS a huge flop both critically and commercially - being outsold by Horizon, a better Zelda game than BoTW - it now goes from bad to worse.

Mario Odyssey - 720p sub 60fps with all manner of graphical glitches and issues

All good though, Monster Hunter 5 looks like a real Switch showcase!

Jasper

[Jasper]

You are such a fucking retard. We're talking about a demo for an incomplete game!

It's no different to for instance, Splatoon 2 for Switch which has had a playable demo at gaming events for many months...with the demo running only at 720p. The game is now only a month away from release, and Nintendo have confirmed the game will release at 1080p/60fps.

As for Digital Foundry....here's the tech analysis for everyone to see for themselves, without your bullshit spin on things. Funny how you try to make it seem like they are hating on the game, when they are showering it with compliments.

The people have spoken!

Sony's SPIDER-MAN is the Game of E3 2017!

[Jasper]

Don't get it twisted, bitch!

IGN themselves crowned Super Mario Odyssey E3 2017's GAME OF THE SHOW award.

http://au.ign.com/articles/2017/06/13/b ... rds?page=1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It was merely the "People's Choice" award (aka...the opinion of a bunch of IGN forum dorks) that went to Spiderman.

Hmm, let me think...who's opinion matters more? The IGN team who actually went to E3 and got to see both Super Mario Odyssey and Spiderman (and determined Super Mario Odyssey is the SUPERIOR game), or the opinion of a bunch of IGN forum fanboys.

[flipswitch]

So none of the IGN voters from the People's choice awards didn't go to e3, which opened its doors to the public for the first time?

That's over 15,000 gamers.

[Hercy]

Is that $250 for the Switch itself or $250 including Mario XCOM?

I'd pay $250 for a Switch including Mario XCOM!

$250 for a Switch with no games is a complete ripoff.

If this new Mario and Mario Xcom turn out to be as ordinary as Zelda, you can have my Switch at this price.

[Jasper]

Yes, so damn "ordinary"...

ZELDA: BREATH OF THE WILD SETS METACRITIC RECORD FOR MOST AMOUNT OF PERFECT SCORES



The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a monumental achievement for Nintendo and video games in general. Critic agree, as the Metacritic data for the game just broke a record.

Breath of the Wild is now the game with the most perfect scores for a single game.

Well Mario Oddysey is shaping up to be a letdown.

720p
Sub-60fps
Graphical glitches everywhere
The gamers prefer Sony's Spider-Man

Mario XCOM looks good..but XCOM is already out

$200 for a Switch sounds just right

[Jasper]

Here's a reality check...Nintendo doesn't give a FUCK whether a random forum nerd named Candy Arse from "Down Under" chooses to purchase a Switch or not.

Bitch...they don't need your fucking money. The Switch is a global phenomenon - flying off the shelves and selling out in the world's largest gaming markets (e.g. America, Japan).

[Candy Arse]

Nintendo doesn't care but you certainly do.

You're like a little girl who has a crush on her favourite alpha athlete.

The athlete barely deems you worth looking at but you keep waving for his attention anyway.

[PhoneMonkey]

Well... maybe for an alley way BJ after the club has closed.

[GameHED]

The next Zelda will probably be even better than this one because it will be Switch title more than Wii U title ported to Switch.

Candy wants a Switch. As soon as Metroid 4 comes out he is going to get it in secret and pretend he loves his PC more. But it's all an act.

Horizon Zero Dawn wishes it could be Zelda but I think the feminism in the game scared away males who are sick of games portraying men as the bad guys.

Mad Max Fury Road did it.

Ghostbusters had sexist ads.

Star Wars Rogue One and Force Awakens tried to make men useless background characters.

And we all know the next Far Cry game is going to attack rednecks (masculine men who are pro-gun and vote for Trump) and bash christians instead of muslim rape gangs in europe...hell maybe they chuck in an anti-gun theme to show support for hilary clinton because they have a gun to their head and get shot if they don't listen to the feminists who are secretly running the propaganda machine behind the scenes.

...so people are slowly getting sick of the SJW shit in gaming. Nintendo doesn't cater to them and that might explain why the sales are high. Anti-SJW are learning to boycott companies that insult their own buyers.

I think if Capcom make the next SF they need to avoid doing deals where it only appears on platforms nobody gives a shit about. It is a necessary step for getting the fighting genre to profit. Switch is perfect platform for arcadey fighters.

The SJWs got boob jiggle removed from chun li in SFV, they are attacking the constitution by trying to prevent people speaking at universities, going after comedians, and putting anti-masculinity messages in your games. The best way to fight them back is to buy nintendo games.

For once it is mario holding a gun in the Rayman X-com game. What does this say to you? Nintendo is becoming more pro-gun now and it is only a matter of time that nintendo finally makes a Mario FPS that shoots out real bullet bills at targets.

The next step is to put blood in future Zelda games imo. Eg you chop off Ganon's head as a finshing move when you beat the game. And Team Ninja is behind the combat system in it. As nintendo mature and support the true gamers who are pro-freedom, their sales will go up as they are family friendly company that also realises gamers who were kids are now adults. The other platforms are for the sissies who vote left and want to confiscate guns from the public when they themselves need them to shoot back at muslims in case they bomb gay clubs and drive trucks into crowds GTA-style. Would love to see nintendo buy Marvel off of disney. That would be awesome. Too bad Disney (where all the pedos work) own it and are driving the comics industry into the ground with their SJW propaganda ruining the IPs.
DC is kicking their asses. If nintendo can just give us their own equivalent to a "darksiders" they will reach the 30-something audience. But can they do it? BOTW was a M rated game. Hopefully the next Zelda will be MA and feature more dark fantasy look to it like the Dark Souls games. They have gotten into making more risky titles now. Mario holding a gun FFS!
