Forums - Gaming Discussion - Why Nintendo games don't win GOTY

The complaint to me thagt people sly Nintendo for GOTY has an element of truth however they need to acknowledge something , Nintendo games that are sequels don't bring much to the table , THey aren't fresh experiences or massive leaps in quality over the predecessor or offer something new to the gaming genre alot hence not winning MASS GOTY among critics, and the problems lie theres Ninty does alot of sequels

Bayonetta 2 - great game but really just an improved sequel , still has weakness in graphical fidelity and story in comparison to the competition losing DA; I which is a massive leap in quality from its predecessors , offers much more top do , better story telling , better characters and just generally excellent

SM3DW - Awesome game , but its predeccessors SMG1 and SMG2 are much better

and a host of others some zelda games you catch my drift

now lets look at ninty games and other games that get Goty ,alot of them do things not done before , much better 

OOT - changed the gaming industry

SMG - amazing

GTA V & Skyrim - the general things that can be done in the game isnt matched

TLOU - considered to have one of the best stories in modern gaming ,well done characters with 8.5- 9/10 gameplay plus 10/10 graphics ( for ps3 that is )

Halo -  changed the fps genre on console

LBP - content creation

COD 4 - changed fps

 

also racing games , fighters , and sexualized action games aren't what mainstream media usually chooses , RPGs , Open World and Shooters are generally more favoured

Exept SMG didn't win nearly as many rewards as TLOU (which is basically a movie and delivers little on the gameplay front, at least it's an entertaining movie).

Calling The Last of Us a movie is like calling Samus Aran a man. Which, you know, shall he keep the body as it is, I wouldn't mind at all, but hey...

 

OP: I don't agree with your reasoning, but then again, I don't look at Nintendo games "an upper version" of an already established game either.

I loved watching my friend play TLOU, I didn't feel much difference when I took over the controls. Sorry, just my opinion. I think there's a place for games like this in the industry, but I prefer games that focus more on gameplay.

As for Samus' gender, it doesn't affect gameplay in the slightest.

This is getting old



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

Again, calling The Last of Us a movie is the same as calling Samus Aran a man: an incorrect train of thought.

 

The last of Us doesn't play it by itself, and Samus (unfortunately) doesn't have a penis.

I see TLOU as an interactive movie that didn't deliver anything new in the gameplay department. Good game, but doesn't deserve to be the most awarded game in history. 

I'm sorry, but SMG was a revolution.

You're stranding from the path just like Fox McCloud in Star Fox Adventures.

 

SMG has nothing to do with Samus Aran having a penis. Nor The Last of Us has nothing to do with interactive movies just because doesn't deliver anything new in the gameplay department.

Read the OP, games doing new (good) things --> GOTY. TLOU is just another movie inspired game of Sony. Like I said though, not really a bad thing.

Reading the OP in yuxtaposition with your comment does nothing. Fresh experience isn't exclusive to doing new (good) things.

 

Again, Samus is not a man.
