Why, people? Why do you have to be so stupid?

>>16084
To be fair, it had Zelda to thank for that. I highly doubt the Switch would be doing anywhere near as well without it. Plus, let's discuss this in a few years from now when the honeymoon phase has ended. I do think Mario Odyssey will certainly make that jump even higher this coming holiday but what about two years from now? That bigger picture remains to be seen, though I'm hoping they prove everyone wrong during this E3.

The 1.5 million report was published on March 14th, though. And while the PS4 did sell 1 million units on its first day, it wasn't until 2 weeks later that Sony announced that they had sold 2 million PS4 units. So 1.5 million versus 2 million is not bad for the Switch considering that the PS4 is one of the fastest selling consoles ever and Nintendo comes straight from the sales fiasco that was the Wii U.

>>16098
Eurogamer has been spot-on so far regarding the Switch, so I'm almost sure that Pokémon Stars is real

Never before will the US be so densely polluted with buyers remorse. Normies are picking this up just because it's hot. They don't know why or what games they want to play on it, they're just getting because they think everyone else knows what they're doing and the consoles constantly sold out so they want in on it. After people get tired of Mario Kart they're going to be wondering what they fuck they bought the console for. If you don't like non-nintendo jap games, this things going to be a fucking paperweight in a few months and most normie americans don't even know those games exist.

It's a very good console, but why you're treating this like some kind of triumph I have no idea. It's just good marketing.

Why do you want them to fail? Are you really this desperate to not admit that only having one console is stupid?

>>16132
Do you know you can just gather good gear and go to the final boss within the first hour? The game shows you a few ropes and then says "okay, go win if you want". It's not hard to not follow one objective.

Fuck if I'm paying nearly 400 bucks just for the console with no accessories or games.

3DS outsold PS2 in Japan. Switch might not become mega-huge like Wii was but it will sell 80 million with the kind of games it will have.

>>16164

>So what games do you consider hard?
any game despised by game journalists and that's relatively unknown by the normal crowd and casuals. You know, shmups like Gradius and Contra which sadly faded from the public eye for having too much gameplay and not enough fancy cinematics and graphics.

The switch is really the perfect console for the way the world is right now almost no one spends a ton of time at home anymore

>>16166

Do you legit think the fact that it outsells something in 1 country will make company's prefer it over the 40 million playerbase the PS4 has?

>>16161
You've made it clear that you don't know shit about the boss so your opinions about how easy you think it is not to get hit are uninformed and wrong. It's nothe a hard game, but it is comfortably challenging. Now go find another trough because I'm done feeding you.

>>16126
Wikipedia says the wii had 3.19 million units shipped by the end of the year, and the console launched around the beginning of December. That 1.5 number came out around the middle of March so it's possible.

But you also have to remember these consoles sell out as quickly as they hit shelves, so these numbers are kindof retarded. Sales numbers are entirely dependant on production numbers, so you could boost your launch day numbers just by making more units. It's more important to look at how many units have sold by the time stores can keep their shelves stocked.

If that was true, it would actively prevent you from facing the final boss until you've explored enough.

Yes, and? Sometimes games need a little structure. If your boss is so terribly easy that you can beat him out of the starting gate, then you've completely nullified any reason I could have to explore. And no, I don't consider exploration "comfy". I despise that buzzword infact.

Then why did it get acclaim from not only the critics, but the fans? You're saying the game isn't good, but the metacritic would argue otherwise. So that would imply that the metacritic is wrong, and that popular opinion doesn't mean a thing.

The gods of gaming have returned and the future is glorious. We took the fucking beatings when Wii U was doing bad but the fucking good guys always become the Victor. Nintendo is back to claim the throne as the fucking leader of the game industry.

Fellow nintenbros, rejoice! Our time of ascension has started and the devils will be erased from this filth stained industry.

>>16230

By your logic, movies are objectively good games. Since according to you, gme journalists are never wrong.

>>16231

But what proofi is there that I hadn't played it? When have I been wrong about the game?

>>16232

When someone who struggles with games on easy mode thinks that a game is amazingly designed, then why would you ever take their opinion seriously?

>>16234
>When someone who struggles with games on easy mode thinks that a game is amazingly designed, then why would you ever take their opinion seriously?

It's a matter of not taking anyone else's opinion at all. Only one can determine for themselves if they like or dislike something. The fact of the matter is, you're still caring about their opinion, if them liking something affects your view about it.

Stop letting about other people's opinions of something affect your own.

>>16232

Also look at posts like this >>16233 and tell me that people aren't cherrypicking reviews to validate their games.

>>16236

>Stop letting about other people's opinions of something affect your own.
This would only be valid if I didn't also hate games like Zelda and TLOU for personal reasons. Them liking it just cements that they're paid reviews.

Now, if they don't like games, then those games could still be bad, but at least I know that they didn't slip some money to the websites via adspace and early review copies.

I've seen you say this a million times before. Last time you left because you got BTFO so you stopped replying. BotW perfected the open world genre. Tlou? It did nothing. Like I said before, movies are popular with critics and that's not going to change any time soon. God of War: My Wife's Son looks like dog-shit but you can bet your ass it'll get 92-95 or something when it comes out.

Why do you say that? Are you implying that game journalists only like watered down, casual cinematic experiences?

Because that really speaks volumes of them praising Zelda.

>>16238
You should drop caring about reviews and journalists at all either way. It doesn't really matter.

You're free to dislike Zelda or TLOU. That dislike doesn't have to involve reviews.

>>16239
I think i found his problem, i think he's autistic, and unable to understand that journalism can be right in some case, and wrong in others.

>>16233
Fuck man, well said. I genuinely had to shed a few tears of joy when Botw got all those amazing scores and switch was doing well. I'm so fucking happy that after all this humiliation we came back like a freaking champion.

>>16241
You know it's possible to like 2 things for 2 different things, right ?

Like your parents can love your siblings because they are nice, intelligent, etc etc, while loving you because it's expected of a parent even if the child is a autistic fuckup.

>>16247
C'mon anon, you can adapt the pasta yourself.

>>16242

I don't entirely base my dislike off of reviews, but I'm just using simple logic here. Your game cannot be considered challenging or difficult if it receives high amounts of praise from the same people who make articles like pic related. It's just physically impossible.

Look at this person for example >>16243 . He pretty much said "Jim Sterling can be right from time to time". He's essentially validating his 10/10 reviews for Skyrim and Horizon, not to mention using the fallacy that eventually a broken clock is right twice a day. The problem is that game journos are the equivalent to a clock set to the wrong time, so they'll never be right.

>>16245

>You know it's possible to like 2 things for 2 different things, right ?
So why call TLOU a movie? like you said, it's possible for them to like it because it's a game, right?

If you're going to apply that logic, apply it to everything and be fair. Shovel Knight is a game that's liked by reviewers, and is a very casual game in general. Yet it's one of your two GOTY picks for 2014. Either dock Shovel Knight for those same flaws, or accept you give special treatment.

No exceptions.

>>16252
Indeed i did.

>>16250
Because the ratio of gameplay to cutscene shit is terrible. And what the gameplay it has is pretty average to boring.

>>16255
Is the title in that picture supposed to be wrong? Because it's not. I used to be a little kid who sucked at video games but still loved playing them. It's not unheard of.

>>16256

I did dock shovel knight for that, which is why Gigantic Army is its co-GOTY. The problem with 2014 was that there weren't alot of stellar titles that year, so it was more of a grading curve. That's why I explicitly avoided calling the game perfect, or even implying it. I'm not gonna pretend that Shovel knight is a hardcore experience.

>>16255
So, as soon as someone becomes a journalists, he instantly is wrong about everything ? Jesus m8, you got some VERY serious mental issues. Get yourself sorted out

>>16259
No grading curve. No preferential treatment. No exceptions if you're already going to be that extremely critical. It's either one GOTY or not.

>Because the ratio of gameplay to cutscene shit is terrible
That doesn't really matter. A game with alot of gameplay can still be cinematic garbage, like pic related. The point of it should be the gameplay quality, and whether it can survive without the cinematic trash that follows it. TLOU fails this test, so it's not a good game. Yet it still receives praise from game journalists, so why do you trust these people with review scores now?

>>16258

If you wanna judge a game for a living and be paid for it, then yes, you should be good at the games.

>>16260

When money is involved, logic and reasoning go out the window for paid reviews and adspace. See: Kane and Lynch.

>>16261

>No grading curve
Okay, fair enough. ThenGigantic Army would be the GOTY. Ironically I have more time in it anyway.

>>16262
Because, unlike your autist self, i played the game and 98 is a perfectly acceptable score.

Now, your turn, why is 98 not a valuable score for BOTW. Until now, your retardation was that because shit game get good scores sometimes, then BOTW scores where automatically invalid.

I fear there is not enough synapse in your poor brain to make you understand the nuance here.

>>16240

So, you want reasons not related to the game journos scores? Fair enough.

>game is too casual and the final boss has no barrier actively preventing you from just rushing right to him, which is bad game design. He should be unbeatable or at least extremely difficult to kill.
>exploration actively weakens Ganon since killing certain minions of his hurts him, so you're effectively grinding to make the final battle easier, as opposed to a good game scaling with you
>hard mode is locked behind a season pass DLC, and you can't purchase it separately from the rest of the garbage that they peddle out
>ontop of that, the very implication that hard mode will be anything besides just doubling enemy health is laughable
>game constantly holds your hands with the mechanics, like the weapon durability system, which could've been good, but they don't teach you preservation or being mindful of your weapons, since they just give you several million anyway
>mechanics like rain which actively prevent exploration for no reason other than gimmicky physics. No matter what bandaid they give you to circumvent it, it's not worth the hassle in the first place
>relying on crutches like sex fanservice and several hours of cutscenes
>crossdressing which is disgusting
>slowdown in combat which trivializes most encounters
>you can pause the game to heal, also trivializing combat
>30 FPS, which is unforgivable in 2017

I could go on, but I think the game is bad enough already.

>>16234
You called it handholdy. That's objectively wrong. It's pretty obvious you haven't played it.

>>16267
Ok, you know that it's hilariously easy to see you didn't play it, right?

>>16268

Any game where I have to struggle to actually die is handholdy by default. If you think it's difficult, more power to you. But some of us are a little more well versed in vidya.

>>16270

>Faster than Light was loved by critics
So I took points off for it. It's not a perfect game. But unless it's over 90, it's not garbage paid off by reviews.

>IGN called Runner 2 one of the best music games of all time
And yet it was snubbed in favor of Dragon Age and Mass Effect. They also recanted and there were claims of being sexist because the girl character was pink. Gameplay stopped mattering to them.

>AM2R was also loved by critics and loved by fucking Kotaku
Are you kidding? Not a single critic even had the balls to give it an official review. The game was buried because Nintendo paid them to not touch it, or they'd be sued.

>All of these games were loved by critics yet they are on your GOTY list
They're not loved enough. As it stands, they just have cult followings, nothing more. Think of it like Wonderful 101 in comparison to Bayonetta 2. I consider the former better than the latter because it's not jerked off as much.

>>16279

But you know, you can pin anything you see through the Shiekah Slate and have it highlighted on your map.

The guy's a fucking joke. I'm not even mad about the score, what I was mad about was his rabid fanbase and PS4/PCfags arguing about how the review was fair.

>>16282
The real complaint for me is "if you see a shrine you have to do it or else the game has no content"

You're an idiot. The game has a few flaws but is still one of the best games to come out in ages.

>>16281
I could easily, but you don't have the mental capacity to even acknowledge it.

Just for your vacuous head
>Game is casual since you can go to Ganon and there is no hard barrier
Freedom is a virtue
There is a barrier ( ie getting off the plateau) Straight to ganon is far from easy without AMPLE game knowledge to dodge gardians, lynels and assorted endgame enemies
Actually defeating Ganon in that situation is even harder.


Again, i'm really sorry for your familly, they have a hard case on their hands. Poor people

back in the mid 1900's, there was a movement called New Journalism which enabled people to accurately and objectively discuss material on an intellectual level by sensationalizing or making the content much more interesting for the audience to read. this suggests that the content is fictitious but, it also explains that "factual orthodox" journalism is illusory.

maybe what we're seeing now is like that, on a much smaller scale?

>Jim is just a fat cuck, he's not a critic or a journalist.
And what exactly is the difference? Those seem pretty interchangeable if you've ever seen the people who review games.

>>16289

>Freedom is a virtue
So by this logic games shouldn't have hitboxes or boundaries? I mean if I can't noclip into the ground, I'm being restricted, right? Why not just remove all the barriers altogether so you don't have to weave around lynels or guardians? That's not freedom.

>Actually defeating Ganon in that situation is even harder.

You misunderstand the fundamental concept of freedom in a video game. Freedom is giving the player as many options as possible. Of course, this must be balanced with good design that ensures the player can exercise his freedom in a fun and exciting way. BotW displays both of these traits, while your hypothetical game does not.

So I take it your second hardest game would be Call of Duty or Uncharted? "extremely hard to kill" is giving him a tad too much credit.

So if someone wants a challenge, they're out of luck? Sounds like bad game design.

>Yeah the hard mode is probably going to be lackluster but we don't know yet
I can take a guess that it'll be garbage since they don't even let you purchase it separately.

>That isn't hand holding. And this point again highlights how you haven't played the game
How so? Is it not disgustingly easy to replenish your weapon supply?

>This is actually the opposite of hand holding which you don't want to point out, the rain forces you to be aware of your surroundings
That would imply that you can prevent it somehow, instead of being forced to deal with a constant nuisance that ruins exploration.

>Sex fanservice and several hours of cutscenes?
no game should have these games. They're crutches for games, nothing more. Anything with them is barred from being considered perfect.

>Crossdressing as a joke.
It would've been nice if the joke was funny, or made the game better.

>Slowdown in a very specific circumstance that also drains stamina and can leave you vulnerable
The problem is that you can increase stamina way too easily, so it might as well not even be a mechanic.

>Yeah the pause to heal can be kinda lame but most enemies are going to be one shotting you in the beginning so it's negligible
Too bad they have horrible AI and can be avoided if you've ever touched a game like Half Life or Unreal Tournament.
