Forums - General Discussion - THE PURGE THREAD - Get it out of your system!

A lot of Nintendo fans celebrate anything they do as groundbreaking and never hold them accountable for mistakes, ignoring their fans requests, etc.

Poor quality of games lately, the Paper Mario and Mario and Luigi latest games getting poor reviews as well as Mario party, a poor Metroid spinoff, a poor Star Fox game, and ignoring fans requests for other franchises to get a new entry like FZero

They celebrate a $20 a year subscription to go online for MK8 and a few other games like it's the coming of Christ, plus a few 30 year old games, whoopie, They won't have a fraction of the games or servers that XB or PS will have, You can get xbox gold for $40 or less even though they beat the $60 drum, you also get 4 free games a month, a gamertag that you can transfer to another console, achievements, leaderboards, weekly discounts and sales on content, apps, hundreds of online games, more Xbox 360 titles becoming backward compatiable, better communcation and online community with other players, a more streamlined store and online experience, hell xbox had that 15 years ago while Nintendo has been struggling to catch up.

The Wii U was a complete failure and received poor support, and now that most of the best games are being ported over to the switch it's a big F U to fans that bought a half baked console.

A slow Switch start with hardly any games to get excited that are exclusive to the system, it's just the promise that you might get some stuff by the end of the year. And they will drop this if it doesn't reach the sales goals they want.

BOTW being nothing special compared to all the other open world games, it's got a couple nice gimmicks but it's only selling well cause it's Zelda and there aren't many options at the moment.

MK8 and probably the last Smash game being a port to the switch as this generations entry, so much for originality especially after Smash already was released on handhelds.

I wish Nintendo fans would hold them accountable for more instead of getting excited to pay again for the same old NES games that you could buy digitally the last 2 generations on console or handheld. I'm disappointed with the Wii U and will not be giving them anymore money until I see that they will actually support the thing long term and not quit halfway when they realized what a disaster the last console was and how lazy they got marketing and supporting it.

No one's buying Scorpio, it will bomb harder than the N-Gage.

This is true.

Oh this should be fun especially since I'm sure there's a few people who like to give me a piece of their mind but who knows. People can be unpredictable. I suspect if they were gonna comment about me, it would be in relation to my views with politics. *shrugs I never took politics personally but rather as mental exercise that I thought was fun to think about and sometimes converse about. 

I was waiting for you to enter this thread

Now, it's not exactly a secret, but I'm not a fan of your posts or your attitude at all. There's been a few instances in particular that I was not a fan of:

-Your stance on innocent people dying is disgusting. You said outright that you don't give a shit, because somehow it's their fault for being used as human shields/collatoral damage

-Your "alpha male" views come across as something that a sociopath or just an outright asshole would say. Like somehow, it's a good thing to be a mysogynist or a bully that takes advantage of women and looks down on other men

-Your views on feminism also do showcase a lack of disregard for the issues that women continue to face around the world

Now obviously, there's other things that I could bring up too. But those three are the ones that stuck out to me the most. Of course, I see that you already tried to make a way out by posting that you never took politics personally, and thus make it seem as though I'm the one taking it too seriously. But the fact of the matter is, from how frequently and consistently you've posted about the topic, I cannot conclude that it's mainly something as a pastime, and must assume that it truly reflects your views and feelings.

Now, I could also talk about the terms that you use. The constant mentions of "leftists" and "regressive left" are turning you into something of a joke: it's hard for many people to take you seriously when you constantly bring it up. Now, I know that I'm not the most innocent person either when it comes to that, as there's probably people that take my talks about the bourgeoisie and capitalism as a joke, but the thing with you is that you generally don't seem like a nice person to hang around with. Maybe if you at least tried to show concern for victims, or tried to get along with the people of this site in a more civil manner, there wouldn't be as much of a problem. But knowing you, I don't think that'll happen.

Oh I knew you were. I wonder how many times you were biting your tongue when I was posting? That's why I gave you the opportunity to take some shots at me and you're very predictable with your response. My posting style or kind of posts aren't politically correct enough for ya? That's fair. In order to keep this from devolving into about politics, i won't bother to respond to each of your grips about me because it would turn into a back-and-forth with other people jumping in that disagree with my positions on things. From what you have listed you have a misunderstanding on a few but most of it is just a difference in opinion. I think the mods would rather this thread would remain fun and somewhat light-hearted mud slinging shitshow.

So I'm gonna just try to explain my posting style. I'm opinionated, abrasive and a bit too honest. I hate pc culture and I like to debate, too. All a bad combination in most people's eyes.  I understand I rub some people the wrong way and on here, I just try to be myself because by pretending to be someone else, I would only be surrounded by people that I don't care for and have very few friends who actually have an idea of what I'm really like.  In the real world, that works splendily when I do it in a very toned down manner because people in general are multi-faceted. You might dislike certain sides to a person but like the rest of 'em.  Sometimes, it's difficult to tell if you'll get along with someone if you see other sides of them. With all my of political positions, I put alot of thought into it and try to reason out a opinion based around logic. I don't try to ever justify a position based on emotions, religious beliefs or bend them because of social pressure/trends. So if we disagree, we're gonna have to agree to disagree if you can't argue against my points based around logic or proof. I'll admit that I do sometimes play devil's advocate for a lark. Had plenty good times from it. I'm not gonna apologize for my posting style or my positions in politics. You're gonna just have to deal with it.

I wish this site had a wider range topics people would converse about. It has the atmosphere of a few strongly opposing sport teams being in the same area. Everyone is somewhat mentally ready for disagreements and having to defend it. It's not exactly the sort of place to encourage getting to know eachother. I wish I was good at coming up with topics people liked or would engage in.

This is probably the dumbest idea for a thread that you've made a reality, Miguel. I can't say that I am shocked or even surprised. You've done mindboggling things in the past.

Last year we had this thread about when NX is going to launch and lots of people misunderstood it for a bet, yourself included. Your posts did nothing to calm down the situation or bring it to a reasonable conclusion. Worse, you kept fanning the flames by posting under the false premise that there was a bet. It's because of such situations that your position as a mod is in doubt, because you look more like a guy who starts trouble than one who resolves it. You were siding with gamemaster87 a.k.a. JNK a.k.a. one of the worst trolls this site has ever seen.

You actively engage in Knack 2 trolling with posts like "#vote for the worst" in the Most Wanted threads. The message is that trolling is perfectly fine as long as someone's view aligns with a head mod.

Thanks for posting in this, Rol. It may be a bit more entertaining now that people can talk about you

Do you really think so? As soon as they post, they become valid targets too.

Well, then that'd make it even more entertaining!



BraLoD, this is what I was talking about

I have that problem sometimes too. Maybe you've over-fapped yourself and have just run dry. Give it a rest for a day or two. I know it's hard, cuz I usually fap twice a day.
