But nobody cares because this is where the industry's mindset is at.

Sounds like a personal problem. Unless the shovelware is violating the ToS, I don't see why the game companies should prioritize doing anything about them.

A good customer should be able to seperate the good from the bad.

Well, the YTs entire stick is reviewing stuff on the eShop; what's different is that he's complaining about an case of class advertising by one of the devs. But it's kind of expected for some creators to lie about how great their products are, so who cares?

VentureBeat thinks Nintendo Switch 2 might be delayed due to Mario Kart 8 DLC

Oh, really? THAT's why the Switch's successor might be delayed?! Not the supply chain shortage?! Not the silicon shortage?! DLC for an 8 year old game is why the Switch's successor might be delayed?!

God, game journos are retarded.

Well, I do think these stores need better filtering options, and tags, and ratings, etc. eShop is the worst offender, but even Steam makes it impossible to filter indie games separately from bigger budget stuff.

You know, sometimes you don't wanna sift through mountains of pixel trash to find something modern-ish looking. I like indie games but they need to be walled off.

Double post, oh well.

I'm gonna defend Nintendo and shit on Nintendo fans.

As a company, Nintendo is great. I mean these dudes are just financial ninjas. Good times, bad times, popular products, failures, somehow, they're always turning a profit and keeping things chugging along. This is because Nintendo understands that toys are for children, and the best way to keep your toy company going is to continue making toys that kids like. And you know what? Kids don't like the same stuff as adults. They are way pickier about somethings and far more tolerant of other things. Like a 9-year-old kid does not give a rat's ass that an idea was done before in 2008. He wasn't even born yet, why should he care? On the other hand, being boring is intolerable to a kid. Nintendo does this great job with pulling in the kids with time-tested game concepts, gameplay loops carefully calibrated to keep prepubescent brains in a state of rapture, an inoffensive, sugar-sweet image that no mom in the world could object to, and managing their brand nostalgia so adults keep buying Nintendo crap for their kids. You've got an 8-year-old, what are you gonna do, not buy him Pokemon? And unlike every other game company, you know who else besides little boys likes Nintendo games? Little girls. Nintendo's just about the only game company that manages to appeal broadly to both girls and boys. Hat's off to those Nips. You conquered America with goofy-looking cartoon mushroom games.

Adult Nintendo fans are horrible for the same reason bronies are horrible. These are toys for children. Yeah, okay, there are a scant handful of them that are timeless in their own way. Mario 3. Smash Bros. You know the ones. Kind of like, even in middle age, I can recognize that Lego did a bang-up job with the Black Seas Barracuda. It's just a really cool-looking pirate ship. But okay, much beyond that, being obsessed with Nintendo? You're an adult who's still in love with children's toys. Stop it. Be normal. Grow up.

You're spot on with saying Nintendo knows how to make children's entertainment. Like, we've all seen countless people complain that Pokemon is the same thing over and over and over and over, and, well, yeah. You know what else is the same thing over and over and over and over?

Much like Pokemon, it's functionally the same thing as the one you grew up with, but cosmetically updated as manufacturing advancements allow it to look a little more detailed and modern. Imagine 30 year olds getting unironically flustered when they see that new version of the turtle sandbox, because Little Tikes didn't add, like, a Bluetooth speaker and Google Home functionality to it, as if they genuinely expect it to now be designed with adult sensibilities in mind.

There's a weird thing with how it's taboo in gaming communities to point out that some games are explicitly made for children beyond like, kiddy educational games, and no other franchise makes that more apparent than Pokemon.

The turtle sandbox manufacturers rightly aren't factoring in the two retards who still want them. If you think Nintendo doesn't factor in adults when making their games...no, you don't actually believe that, so I won't even finish that sentence.

Do you think the Kanto pandering (the only good thing about Pokemon for a long time now) is for the 7 year olds playing it...? That's like thinking Sonic Generations had classic Sonic for the kiddos, and the constant 8-bit throwbacks Mario games have been doing since Mario RPG on SNES.

Pokemon just got shitty, sometimes that happens to a series. It happened to Fire Emblem, Sonic, Paper Mario, Metal Gear, and everything in-between. It's not because Pokemon is designed just exclusively for kids, it's because the series hasn't been good for 20 years.

Unless your position is all video games are for babbies, I guess.

Edit: Rereading this, the tone seems harsh, which wasn't my intention. Maybe I'm just in a pissy mood? Lmao

Oh, I'm talking specifically just the mainline Pokemon games, not all games in general. Kanto stuff is more or less geared towards adults at this point, like it's ridiculous how much stuff has Pikachu's face on it nowadays

>Misty's Starmie is effectively almost guaranteed to be faster and stronger than anything you will have at that point
Unless you PURPOSEFULLY skip her Gym, go to Vermillion City to battle the trainers on SS Anne and route 11 (and the Gym if you're feeling brave enough), THEN go back to Misty since you have to go back up there anyway to go to Route 9. That's assuming you didn't pick Bulbasaur (which is "easy mode") or Squirtle (which resists bubblebeam and water gun),

Seriously, wtf is this list??? How can you even add the Sun/Moon Totems on there when they are fucking push-overs?

To be honest, the only times that I've lost in the series is at the Battle Frontier. Even when I was learning the ropes, I never really ran into these problems because you usually have enough healing items on hand to counteract the damage.

The only real problems that I ever ran into was with the battery in Ruby being dead when I brought, which meant that I had to get an little bit ration out which moves that I used against the Elite Four. Sure, I lost once or twice because of an hardware issue; but that game wasn't as hard as they're making it out to be.

For Gen 6, it's about easy as everything else was.

They are supposedly going to address the e-shop stuff in the future with curation because it's why some games are getting pulled already. Nintendo's movie ventures seem to be a major deal to them and I'm wondering just how much they're going to ramp it up when the Mario movie is set to be released.

But as far as ports go that's really going to depend, Unreal 5 doesn't play all that nice with the switch and that's what many developers are going to be using.
 
Come to think about it, most of nintendo games formally targeted at kids and minors. But there are some really weird undertones in them. Like, Legend of Zelda tells us a story of a boy, a girl and her interracial relationship on the side.

It does bewilder me that they decided to port the Wii version of Force Unleashed instead of the far superior and reasonably received PS3/360 port.

But shit if you don't like it don't buy it.

Anyone else notice how sensitive Pokemon fans are when you point out that PLA looks like shit visually? Like even if you say the game is good and that the positives outweight the negatives, they'll still flip the fuck out for pointing that the game looks like an early PS2 title.

You'll also hear one of the following canned responses:
  • "You're expecting too much from the Switch's hardware"
  • "Expecting it to compare to BOTW is too much!"
  • "Graphics aren't everything!"
  • "I actually think it looks pretty good!"
  • "How often are you really going to look at distant objects?"
  • "That's just the game's style!"
PLA fans need to chill. You don't need to be positive about every aspect of the game to say it's a good game. Sure, it was never going to be competing with BOTW, but the only open-world game I can think of that looks worse is that port of ARK Survival Evolved.
