Oh, come on. It's obvious that the Switch isn't doing well. The initial sales were good, as is any Nintendo console, but it's already being outsold by the PS4 for fuck's sake. A 3 year old console with almost no fucking games on it.
This is looking just like the Wii U and I think it's time to make one of those checklists of ''X will save the Switch'' which we can cross off as the months roll on. ARMS didn't do shit for the console, so I guess it's up to Splatoon 2, which has a lukewarm reception as it is.
Mario Odyssey isn't out until October and it will undeniably boost sales for some weeks or even a month, but afterwards? It's back down and the Switch will stay there since there are no upcoming games that will sell the system.

You mean October. Obviously they'll make Smash 5, but I would like it if every character had as much depth as the late DLC characters that Smash 4 had. Ryu had Legitimate inputs, Cloud had a super meter, Bayo combos and gun holds, and Corrin had a Side B that gave a lot of options. I want every character to have more interesting details, even if it means a smaller roster.

Not sure if they'll be able to keep all the characters they had in 4 though....Megaman pls stay.

i like my switch. enjoyed zelda probably the most out of any game this year, and while i'm still waiting for a few more games it's still a cool option for me. i'm hoping for release dates on the local multiplayer games they said were coming out (duck game, towerfall, overcooked) so it can be both comfy as fuck bed gamin and local multiplayer with buds. and honestly i think it has a really great first year at least in terms of newer consoles (ps4, xbone).

evidence of a company committing illegal actions? That's a pretty tough one. How about looking around and trying to find sold out iphones when they're apparently fighting over the same exact hardware. There are literally tens of thousands of iphones overstocked. I fail to see in any capacity or parallel universe in which the NAND memory is what's causing hardware shipment delays. They could have at least used a more believable excuse about having downsized production after the wii u's failures. It's a blatant lie. Proof? There is none because companies aren't required to share that shit with the public. But using your head will lead you to the same conclusion.

As for what's "wrong" with the switch, not much, it just needs more games. Nintendo gave up on third parties in gen 5. They stopped giving a shit. They're never coming back, especially now that nintendo is trapped a generation behind in terms of hardware power just to try and accomplish innovation in whatever they believe is the "new big thing". unfortunately I don't think portable/docked is the innovation they think it is, I've had a tablet laptop hybrid since like 2010. So do many other people. Hopefully mario odyssey is the start of a heavier flow of games instead of this drip feed of one game every two months.

>>383591584
New Smash isn't even fun at parties. Too many dumb items and stage bosses.

>>383591553
Isn't it graphically under-powered?
Its an 8th gen system that is already out preformed by every 7th gen system (except the wiiu just barely)

It likely won't have any major AAA 3rd party exclusives... like ever.

If you buy one with a dead pixel nintendo will tell you that's normal and they won't replace it.

Get it if you want but there are plenty of reasons to pass.

For a console yes, for a handheld no because that's what its being used for most of the time.

Its literally sold out everywhere and stock gets eaten up within minutes of being available, quit talking out of your ass.
>>
>>383591796
This is over the next batch of iPhones you dip
>>
>>383591978
No, but if apple can afford to make tens of thousands of surplus stock of this apparent luxury and premium, rare commodity, it seems unlikely that there's any true shortage.

Also nintendo blatantly refused or was too stupid to meet demand in any way shape or form with the NES classic, and now the SNES classic, limited stock and artificial scarcity to drum up hype has been their go to for years. amiibo were the same thing, exclusivity deals with manufacturers ensured huge lines.

Apple has a stronger arm to secure the portion of the NAND and other parts it needs from their manufacturers than Nintendo. Same goes for Samsung.

In the lulls between phones, you'll see a bump in Switch production as Smartphone makers need less and Nintendo can secure more. But once the next iPhone or Galaxy starts hitting the assembly line, Nintendo will be shorthanded again.

Before you say there isn't a NAND shortage, it's very well documented at the moment and also the reason for the rising cost of SSDs.
>>
>>383592174
No its not. Its story mode is weak and its game-play is about as deep as a kiddy pool. We will not see an Arms pro scene, this game is 60 dollar novelty not a real game. No one will play arms in one year.
>>
>>383591962
>It likely won't have any major AAA 3rd party exclusives... like ever.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is coming out this year. The Rabbids Xcom also looks good. Its probably going to get a bunch of Jap games since its replacing the 3DS.
>If you buy one with a dead pixel nintendo will tell you that's normal and they won't replace it.
They replaced my DS with no issues. It only had one stuck pixel.
>>
why are you people do butthurt over the Switch actually doing well?

>>383592676
It was literally in stock at MSRP this week.
>>
>>383592717
AAA literally has no actual meaning, its a marketing phrase usually indicating the company spent more money on advertising than development.

>>383592510

:)
>>
>>383592772
Sure it was, but how long was it in stock?
>>
>>383592554
There's no problem at all finding games in MK8 or Splatoon on WiiU, so it's hardly dead. But it probably will be after all the AAA games the Switch is getting this year, especially after Splatoon 2 and Odyssey.

>Do you know what AAA means?
Nobody does, its just a buzzword. It only seems to be correlated with a game's marketing budget from what I can tell.
>>"Small numbers of stuck or dead pixels are a characteristic of LCD screens," the company explains on a Switch support page. "These are normal and should not be considered a defect."

And if it's main purpose is as a handheld, why does it have an abysmal battery life?
>>
>>383591962
>Isn't it graphically under-powered?
Yes. Severely so, but if you think of it as a handheld it's not that bad. But, games will likely aim for 1080p/30fps at most.
>It likely won't have any major AAA 3rd party exclusives... like ever.
True. You only get a Nintendo console to play Nintendo games. 3rd party games are a bonus.
>If you buy one with a dead pixel nintendo will tell you that's normal and they won't replace it.
Also true. Nintendo costumer support is horrible.

There are enough future games coming out for it, and have already released, that interest me enough to have bought it, also its an HD handheld so its also decently powerful moreso then the vita with an actual library thats growing.
Wii U had maybe 2 games I wanted for it and that wasn't enough to be worth it. Why buy a system thats had support dropped for 2 games when emulation now is feasible? Also if switch emulation comes out thats dandy and all but itll be nearly impossible to play it on the go without some expensive as shit portable pc
>>
>>383593279

The Switch is actually one of the best early starts I've ever seen.

The Switch has shit but Wii U ports for now. And we don't know how Xenoblade will be.

I'll start by tellign you that you are 100% wrong about the number of cinematics, and then continue callign you a fuckign retard.

Unstable framerate is a nice touch, since it's 30 everywhere but the deku forest ( ie, 99,9% of the world). Thanks for at least providing a way to be certain you are a retarded faggot.

Everyone who uses the ''Uncharted is a movie!'' shitposting argument because there are cutscenes in it are retarded, because Zelda is more of a movie than Uncharted. Let me explain.
Uncharted does have more frequent cutscenes than Zelda and they are longer as well, but Zelda has, objectively, a higher percentage of cutscenes in the main game. If you dick around in Zelda for 100 hours, obviously you won't notice this, but if you play it through the story like you do in Uncharted, you'll notice right away just how much of the game is taken up by cutscenes.
Think about it. You go through the intro bullshit and then head to tackle the divine beasts and get all memories. That's a lot of cutscene for not very much gameplay. It would be fair to compare this to Uncharted and they would be pretty much equal, but you need to factor in the fact that Zelda has a ton more filler in the form of the overworld. Stuff to do when you're bored of the story(a huge failing on the writers part) so you can come back to it feeling excited.
Such a thing doesn't happen in Uncharted because the story is so intricate to the game. But, if you were to do the same with Uncharted, that is dick around for a long time before progressing, you'll find that there aren't at all many cutscenes between gameplay. Even less so if you replay the game and skip the cutscenes until you reach 100 hours like some Zelda players use to compare the two. It's just not a fair comparison at all. Zelda is a short game in terms of story, but it has a lot of filler game in between. If you trim away the fat, you get a short game with an okay story, but a lot of cutscenes per gameplay.

All of them are, since you can choose to dick around with optional objectives.

It certainly loses value if it's going to be your only platform. I have a decent PC that I use for graphics-heavy games and multiplats. Switch is for Nintendo stuff and the for any multiplats I think might be better on the go.

That said, it certainly is not as powerful as a base XBone or PS4, but it's really close. To the point where, even as someone who plays high-end PC games in 4K, I think most of the games look good. It all depends on the game and how it's designed. The new Rabbids game, for example, looks fantastic.

tl;dr; Nintendo for games, others for graphics. Having one of each is the best option.

You, for example, at least if you say the game wouldn't be instantly better off by removing every single bit of disgusting cutscene and movie-like parts, or if you claim that somehow being optional stops them from continuing to taint the game by taking the place of content that could be gameplay-related.

it really costs $400 to play Nintendo games at 720p? JFC.

It's perfectly acceptable to sacrifice performance for portability retard. It's why I'm okay with a 720p smart phone even though I play PC at 1440p 96fps. Now HOW MUCH you should sacrifice is a valid discussion. I believe the switch should either be more powerful handheld or have a longer battery life.
>>
>>383596953
>options are baaaad
I was mostly referring to indies. Most other games I'd still get on PC, because I don't really use my Switch out of the dock. But if I do decide the sacrifice (if there is one) is okay, then it's my prerogative to do so, so fuck off.

Also who are you quoting as defending 20 FPS? Shitpost better.
>>
>>383597159
>nigger what the fuck i praise the fuck out of breath of the wild BECAUSE it ditched the tedious seven hours of story intro
But it didn't. For example, you can't even skip the tutorial plateau which is nothing but cinematic garbage. So right offf the bat you're lying. Also, if I want to explore, I have to risk running into a cinematic tripmine, of which there are dozens hidden everywhere. If I don't want cancerous hollywood garbage ruining my experience, I have to rush right to ganon. So that 100+ hours of gameplay is also a lie.

So exactly how is this game good again, when it has cancerous cinematic tumors scattered everywhere, and I have to avoid massive portions of the map to not trigger them?

resolution can be an iffy thing to sacrifice, but at no point should you ever sacrifice framerate. 60 FPS needs to be standard, and willfully accepting lower is disgusting. That's why I refuse to consider a good game. It's more akin to a movie like Uncharted.

I agree that 60 fps should be standard; I'm a huge advocate of it. But right now it isn't, so this is a situational thing. You have to look at the whole picture for each game. Lower FPS or resolution might be worth it in some cases.

Also, saying a game can't be good if it isn't 60 FPS is really silly. Just so you know.

Anything involving the disgusting waifu filth put in to pander to kids who want to jerk off (Mipha, for example)
Anything involving the gerudo
The entire tutorial plateau
The entire endgame sequence before, during, and after you've fought ganon, when the game just can't stop narrating to you when you're trying to play the game (particularly the segment where you fight the final form of Calamity Ganon as his giant boar form)

For a game about gameplay, I can sure find alot of cinematic filth.

I can't agree. I'm sick of companies thinking they can continue to screw over their fans just because they can. I'm already being asked to pay 60 dollars for a game that has content constantly ripped out to be held behind amiibos and season passes. Framerate is where I draw the line.

It's sold out because artificial shortage to create hype is the only way to sell a weak system with only 1 game anybody cares about.

Look I agree with you, but things have been this way for years and years now. It sucks, but there's no going back from it. You can be upset about it, or enjoy games for what they are. Take BotW for example. I would have loved it was 60 fps, but it isn't. Am I going to miss out on it because of that? Of course not.

I have a question, do you Nintenbros actually believe this shit, like are you actually deluded, or are you aware of how full of shit you are?

Nintendo being infamous for artificial scarcity isn't a "meme" it's a reputation which they've consistently earned for *years.* Look at the NES and SNES Classics; two products they knew were going to be hot items, and they intentionally underproduced, so unless you were home sick from work/school during the few hours they were available for preorder, prepare to get fucked by scalpers, and that's assuming your preorder doesn't get randomly canceled.

Same with collector's edition games/consoles. I get that limited means limited, but the preorder window simply has got to be at least an entire day, if not an entire week.

Look at Destiny 2, you could preorder a collector's edition for like a week after the announcement, limited still get batches popping up, the console bundle is available for preorder right now. Look at MVC: I, which as a fucking sweet collector's edition, that is available for preorder on any platform going on two months after being announced.

And you mean to tell me Nintendo is still getting caught off guard by the demand for their products? I call bullshit.

>>383590712
This is a mentality I never got. Do you sell every game and system you own when you buy a new console? Do you sell your PC as well? Heck, even during the prime of a console you're never playing just that one device. You own multiple systems then buy the games that you like as they come out for them. In the case of the Switch, there probably will be a lull after Splatoon 2 and before Mario Odyssey, but guess what? I still have PS3 (not a typo, 3 not 4) games I haven't even touched. I do not want for games. A multi month gap doesn't even phase me and I'd wager it doesn't phase anyone shitposting here.

>>383586716
Its not the same as a ps4, its not a wannabe PC. nintendo actually makes consoles and makes games. Sony simply sells a prebuilt PC with a DRM OS that lets you play recent games at subpar levels of performance and pays off developers to make exclusive games FOR them. They haven't done a damn thing to deserve their success or exclusives. There is no personality to these bricks anymore, sony shouldn't be praised for simply successfully marketing a cheap prebuilt to poor morons and kids, ESPECIALLY when their competition(xbox team) shot themselves in the foot and gave themselves the plague.

Nintendo is still in their corner making decent games for their console they continue to try to innovate with in more meaningful ways than just upgrading the specs. They're at least trying to push the industry forward with their hardware and games, sony is just taking advantage of whatever trends are happening at the time(darksouls faggotry inspired them to pay for a darksouls game to be exclusive to their shitbrick).

Nintendo + PC is the only way to go. PS4 exclusives aren't anything special and alternatives can be found on PC, there is no reason to support these kinds of consoles anymore.

>>383599110
>skippable
Not an argument. They still exist in the game, so as far as I'm concerned they're not skippable. Until I can buy a version of the game where they never exist, the game is cinematic filth. Maybe put the resources from those disgusting cutscenes into better game optimization. Perhaps trying to reach 60 FPS instead of attempting, and failing, to make your game """art"""?

See, if the game ran at 60 FPS and didn't have all of its other glaring flaws, then maybe I could see this "skippable" argument, but as it is, their very presence means that the devs focused more on the crappy story than actually making the game good. So they're not skippable to me.

Nah your retarded nothing limited edition is just a paywall for dlc you don't get in based form. In video games it's literally nothing but a scam. Have you ever bought figurines or anything outside that actually is limited like figurines and comics. First print goes up so high price compared to a second and third print.

The fact you even remotely like MVC infinite shows are retarded you truly are.

Actually I'm really puzzled right now. You obviously have a vendetta against both non-60FPS games and/or games with cutscenes. You'd know before playing a game that it had one of these "problems." So why do you bitch about it? Like nigga just don't play those games.

The budget went somewhere anon.

Games don't need stories, that was Nintendo's first mistake.

And it would have never hit 60 anyway, not without being a completely different game. You can't squeeze blood from a stone just by getting more people in on the squeezing. That's not how it works.

True, but yes, I do get to discard it when it's clear, based on your predetermined hate of both <60fps and cinematics, that you were never going to like it in the first place. You're overwhelmingly, and quite clearly, biased.

That's just Nintendo's lazy excuse. Any game can be rendered at 60 FPS, but only if you're willing to make sacrifices to useless features, like story or graphics. after all, I thought only the Ps4 and Xbox focused on those things? Shouldn't Nintendo be doing their own thing with 60 FPS and gameplay focus? I guess not.

>True, but yes, I do get to discard it when it's clear, based on your predetermined hate of both <60fps and cinematics, that you were never going to like it in the first place.
When I went into Zelda, I assumed that Nintendo would focus on gameplay and performance instead of voice acting and CGI graphics and cutscenes. That's what sony and MS do, I thought Nintendo was the original one out of the bunch, right? That was their entire slogan this gen? It was their entire marketing strategy, both on their websites and right here on /v/. how was I supposed to know that they were the exact kind of filthy corporate scum as their competitors?

>To the extent you do, yes.
Then it sounds like you've never played on a PC, where 60 FPS is standard.

>>383601643
I don't consider it something you can skip when you have to skip the entire game that "supposedly" exists just so you don't run into them. It kinda defeats the point, like how you can "skip" using fast travel in skyrim, but that just shows how boring the game is without it. It's nothing more than a bandaid on bad gameplay to attempt to make it look good.

Like I said, no matter how you reallocate things, BotW would never have reached 60 without either being a completely different game, or ACTUALLY looking like a PS2 game like shitposters say. It has nothing to do with lazy excuses. It has everything to do with balancing design and and hardware limitations. You have a neurotic fixation with 60 fps. I love 60fps as much as most gamers, but it isn't a hardline for me. It clearly is for you. MOST people would take the game looking as it does now, than having it look like a pile of ass or being a totally different game.

>how was I supposed to know that they were the exact kind of filthy corporate scum as their competitors?
Not commenting on that because everything about it is stupid, but as for knowing what Zelda was going to be like, you could have, I don't know, watched ANY footage of it pre-release?

>Then it sounds like you've never played on a PC, where 60 FPS is standard.
My primary platform is PC. Switch and Wii U for Nintendo games. I wish 60fps was standard for every game ever made, but it isn't, and it's actually, literally, borderline autistic to fixate on it the way you are.

>>383602653

How am I supposed to know what will happen when I trigger them? The game is terrible at describing what will happen. Also, even if I skip the cutscenes, I still gotta deal with loading screens, voice actors mouthing off with their grunts and noises, and any gameplay afterward will be tainted with them constantly narrating. That's something that should not exist in Zelda. I shouldn't have to skip massive segments of your game to have fun.

>>383602970
>BotW would never have reached 60 without either being a completely different game, or ACTUALLY looking like a PS2 game like shitposters say.
Then make it look like a Ps2 game, and tell the people who cry about graphics to go jump off a cliff. Gameplay and framerate matter more than graphics.

>MOST people would take the game looking as it does now, than having it look like a pile of ass
If the gameplay was improved with better input via a higher FPS, then why would Nintendo fans care if the graphics were a lower grade? Sounds like someone only cares about graphics.

>but as for knowing what Zelda was going to be like, you could have, I don't know, watched ANY footage of it pre-release?
1. You would've said "you didn't actually experience it." So that argument goes out the window.
2. I wanted the benefit of being able to say "I gave it the benefit of the doubt". Now that I gave it an honest workover, I can safely criticize it with enough information under my wing.

>I wish 60fps was standard for every game ever made, but it isn't, and it's actually, literally, borderline autistic to fixate on it the way you are.
You heard it here. Having any kind of standards is "autistic". You have to mindlessly lap up everything companies make.

NOBODY IN THE THREAD RESPONDS TO THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH!

I own both PS4 and a switch and im going to be getting a lot of mileage out of my switch once splatoon 2 drops.

I was going to go back to PS4 for sonic mania,but even that's going to be on the switch and what better game to have on a handheld than a sonic title.

Ever since my first gameboy, i have always had at least one nintendo product weather it be a handheld or a console a long side whatever other console provides the best game at the gen(had 360 before ps3 cause ps3 had a shitty launch).

Nintendo make games and will continue to make games while sony try make movies and resell hd versions of there already good classics from the days when they were on par with nintendo because most would rather play there classic titles than any new(death standing,last of us) movie shit they try to shove down our throats that only casual normies buy.

Not to mention most Sony sequels to their classic titles have all paled in comparison to the predecessors(star ocean series) and they just seem to have been doing vert mediocre work for the last 2 gens.
THE NEW Crash bandicoot game is the smartest thing Sony has done in the last decade or so nad the sales even prove this.

I have been playing star ocean 3 for the last month or so while waiting for splatoon 2 to drop.

They didn't lose MH.

MH:Worlds is a spin-off meant to appeal to western mainstream audiences by giving a watered down MH experience that focuses on graphics, cinematic experience, and easy gameplay.

MH will almost certainly continue on Nintendo consoles for MH core Japanese audience -- to whom the game being a handheld game they can take to their friends house to play is a huge part of the game.

Your entire arguments hinge on "Zelda is good because it's popular". Well, guess what other game is popular in that image?

Also, game journos HATE good video games. they have never been right about their scores and will, without fail, only praise cinematic movie games. There is no exception for this in the modern gens. So tell me, why should I hate only one game on there, but not the other? Especially when they're both guilty of being cinematic?

The point is this: Zelda is not a good game if the masses like it, as the masses have been brainwashed to like only cinematic movies. This was /v/'s entire argument against the Ps4 for the several years where it dominated in sales. You can't suddenly turn around and herald the opinion of filthy normies like it's suddenly relevant now.

and if you're implying that game journos can ever be "right" on anything, then what's stopping them from also being right with Uncharted or TLOU or Crash N Sane Trilogy? Why do you feel like the sole arbiters of when a game "deserves" its praise?

I direct you to this: >>383596417

You can no longer call games like Uncharted or TLOU movie games if, according to your logic, popularity makes a game good. If you continue calling them movie games, then you must also admit that normies are attracted to the cinematic in nature, and so their appraisal of Zelda is because of this. They don't like the gameplay, as any thread on /v/ will attest. THAT is how it's relevant. The problem is that you guys want your cake and you want to eat it too. You want all the good stuff associated with high sales and high metacritic scores and popularity without any of the implications that your competition could use these things as well, that perhaps TLOU for example is a good game because it not only has critic praise, but high user praise too? But that argument is always discarded because, and I quote, "sony paid them off, gamers hate good games, they only like movies." So you understand the awkwardness of using this argument right next to an argument like "Zelda is the best ever, just look at its metacritic score".
>>

So if I go into the archives, i won't find mountains of posts talking about how sony is "the devil" and how they never once made a good game and they only rely on movies? Shoot, I just responded to a post that accused sony of making nothing but movies. He even calls Bloodborne a movie.

>>383607054
Now of course, the funny thing here is that I feel this way too. You actually think I'm defending sony? when their games have the exact same issues as Nintendo's games? 30 FPS everywhere with drops, cutscenes out the ass, poor gameplay, pandering to SJWs and political spectrums with no gameplay substance to even attempt to justify it? Shoot no. But it's just a simple fact of how you guys are arguing right now. You can't say that sony has "never made a good game" if high metacritic scores can't be argued with, and skippable cutscenes don't ruin a game. I mean you do remember that, right? YOu can actually skip the cinematics in TLOU and Uncharted, and they both have hundreds of hours of gameplay if you take multiplayer into account. So why doesn't that count in their cases? why does Zelda get the sole exception?

I detect a bit of bias here. Unlike you, I have no bias. I dislike all these consoles equally, and I'm more of a PC guy.

>>
>>383607880
>you still haven't said why you think zelda and xenoblade are movie games.
I thought I said it multiple times, but I guess I should reiterate.

>Zelda
-2 hours of cutscenes, massive dialogue dumps that envelop any gameplay you "might" run across
-gameplay is watered down for the casual audience, thus the high metacritic (only artistic movie games think that challenge in gameplay is problematic)
-runs at a silky, creamy smooth 30 FPS with drops

>Xenoblade
-is an RPG. All RPGs are false advertising, as it implies that you play them at some point, instead of walking down a hallway or an empty open field to get to the next cutscene. And since Xenoblade has well over 10 hours of cutscenes and 500+ hours of dialogue, the meager amount of gameplay you might experience doesn't make up for it.
>>

That's entirely subjective, but okay.

I don't know how to even begin an argument in response to any of your posts, which make no sense. Where the fuck did you get "500 hours off dialogue" from?

Visual elements related almost entirely.
Normialfags are familiar with enviromental hazards, stealth and visual help regarding targeting and World added that while later gameplays, tweets and interviews mentioned thay are not mandatory and showed the gameplay is basically the same as 4U with some changes in the moveset of the weapons.

Nah, that's you autist deflection. BOTW is good due to exploration an gameplay. The world is well crafted, the music is quite good, the story is fine and the sidequest run the whole gamut of meh collect 20 bear asses to pretty neat like Tarrey town.

DUMB PIECE OF SHIT!


BOTW AND XENOBLADE HAVE CUTSCENES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MOVIE GAMEPLAY is akin to what uncharted has where even during gameplay segments the game constantly takes controll away from the player and goes thru some sort of cinematic process.


The fight with nadine vs drake and his brother is the perfect example of it and i have uncharted 4 and think its a great game.

Thru out the entire Nadine vs Drake and Sam fight the game constlay goes between you actually paying the game and then switching between ciniemtaic events and QTE to make it feel like you are watching a movie while games like BOTW and Xenobade have no such features.

BOTW AND XENOBLADE are 90% gameplay focused games with cutscene happening during story/plot elements.

THEY ARE FAR FROM BEING MOVIE GAMES!

How is the gameplay any different between the games? With Uncharted the game constantly goes into slowdown so you can execute the "ebin quick time events." And funny enough, Zelda has that exact same mechanic, although you press maybe one extra button instead of just one for the ebin action cinematic finishers. either way they're both watered down for the filthy normie audience. And again, you cannot call Uncharted's gameplay bad if it has a 95+ metacritic score, as this makes it immune to criticism, at least according to your logic.

Answer me this: why would game journos like it if it was a bad game?

I'd say Dwarf Fort. Pure videogame kino, and the only story in the game is so minimal compared to the severel hundred thousand hours of gameplay. plus, no graphics, no music, no pricey DLC, no microtransactions, runs at a crisp 60 FPS, no political pandering, the whole shebang.

Doesn't that mean that game journos could possibly be right about TLOU being good? After all, a broken clock.

I seriously hope you're kidding. The most challenge that Undertale ever posed was with le skeleton meme man, who I soloed without a single healing item. AND I did it at 60 FPS (something the original game couldn't even do). This is challenge?

>>383609932
I'm saying that there's no such thing as a "well directed video game cutscene" because the presence of a cutscene in a video game period drags the gameplay to a halt just to force you to watch some preteen anime kids cry about their feelings.

Your personal opinion on video game cutscenes is irrelevant. I was just illustrating that they can be done well, and it's fine if you disagree, but the crux of the argument is that Xenoblade isn't a movie game just because it contains cutscenes.

If fact, I'm not gonna say you can't be eternally against cutscenes even though they're part and parcel of most games these days. The point is that you should be able to distinguish a movie game from a game that just has cutscenes, which you can't.

These people are in no position to claim that they know what games are good and what games aren't. Dwarf Fort is vidya kino at its finest.

The problem is that they're done in the exact same way as Uncharted or TLOU. They exist only for the sake of pushing the retarded story forward, and they serve zero purpose towards improving the gameplay. To imply that a game needs them, or that it's somehow important is an insult to the entire medium. To me, there is no difference between a movie game and a game that has hours of cutscenes, because either way they'll both attempt to mitigate it by saying "we have 100 hours of sidequests" or in TLOU's case "we have a hundred hours of multiplayer action and co-op campaigns". It doesn't matter.

>>383611195
Consider this as an example:

>Dwarf Fort thread is made
>massive discussion of gameplay
>everyone is excited for the update
>people share their fort stories

Compare that to Zelda, or Xenoblade.

>new games or updates announced
>there SHOULD be gameplay discussion
>nope! nothing but porn dumps
>if it isn't of Melia and Elma and Mipha and Zelda, it's of gay crossdressing Shulk and Link fellating bananas
>therefore, there is no good gameplay

You HAVE to discuss the gameplay and only the gameplay for a game to be good.
>>
>>383611307
the fact that I consider gameplay to be the most important part of a game? That kind of makes my opinion hold more weight.
>>
>>383610881
But they don't serve the same purpose. The major difference is that something like Uncharted already has "cinematic" gameplay and severely limits your control. It's already a movie game at heart, with the cutscenes serving only to fill the gaps. You're desperate to paint it as the same thing as Xenoblade or Zelda when it's not. And like I said, you're opinion on the content of the story cutscenes themselves is irrelevant.
>>
>>383611441
I think so too, does that make me qualified?
>>
>>383611510
>The major difference is that something like Uncharted already has "cinematic" gameplay and severely limits your control.
And how is this different from Zelda or Xenoblade? You don't have any control of those games either? You can't even access their respective hard modes unless you shell out extra money or jump through some BS hoops. Plus, you have to watch the cutscenes or skip them every single time. There's no way around them and their boring loading times. If they truly were good games, they would not have those disgusting cutscenes.

Who are you quoting?

The difference is that you won't be able to do that for every thread. We'll be able to have constant threads without porn posting, while you'll be lucky to find even one Zelda thread that doesn't devolve into posting trap Link being violated from behind because someone has a sick fetish.

Uh, yeah, you do have a lot more freedom and control. And a lot more downtime between cutscenes, even when you just rush through main quest.
>>
>>383611764
yes, I think 20fps is acceptable. that's why I spent $2000+ on a PC with a GTX 1080.

I have never said that 20FPS is acceptable.
However, I think 30FPS with frame drops is nothing short of average for a handheld.

Stop aruging with them.

Your are talking to literal autistic manchildren who have a personal vendetta against "big bad sony" because Nintendo is dying

Theres a reason why they are called "N!ntentoddlers" and why this place is called NintenGAF

>>383612132
>Uh, yeah, you do have a lot more freedom and control.
So can I choose to completely skip the tutorial plateau? How about avoiding every single other character in Xenoblade? Can I solo the game as Shulk?

shouldn't the hybrid have the strengths of a handheld and a console? If not, why even bother with the concept?
