Did Nintendo save gaming with the NES?

in Nintendo Discussion 3 hours ago

javi741 said: Mnementh said: No. Let's see to your arguments. "If Nintendo didn't do it someone else would have" You say: "After the 1983 crash, literally no one wanted to have anything to do with video games anymore, from companies to consumers and retailers." This is obviously wrong. True, some companies that had entered the market from other sides like Fairchild and Mattel...

Did Nintendo save gaming with the NES?

SvennoJ said: Nautilus said: For everywhere, really. First of all, it's not just the "US market', but rather The Americas market. The whole continent. Second of all, Nintendo proved with the NES that gaming was more than just a "toy" and thus not a fad. The market in the Americas had died, and the European one and Japanese would soon follow after, at the very least the home...

Why do you leave out a lot of platforms? As I am too lazy to count that many, I only count Metascore >95.

hinch said: ResetEra is full of leftists and is very easy to get a ban there. Its pretty much a hive-mind mentality. You go against the wave in any political correct form its going to lead to a ban. I am a leftist. But I always thought pushing out people for the 'wrong' opinion is a conservative, right-wing thing. ...

Did Nintendo save gaming with the NES?

No. Let's see to your arguments. javi741 said: IMO yes Nintendo did save gaming, some people think they didn't for several reasons. But I'll counter argue the common reasons why people don't believe Nintendo saved gaming: "If Nintendo didn't do it someone else would have" -This argument completely based off of faith, and you'd need to have a ton of faith that a company would've entered...

Did Play Station made home console gaming the standard ?

in Gaming Discussion 2 days ago

Nope. This was actually the first and second gen. Atari, Magnavox and Coleco showed that it is a viable model to bring arcade games into the homes, showed by the rapid expansion of the market into the second generation. The videogame crash was a hiccup that might have potentially ended this model, but Nintendo saved the day. Since then it is organic growth. Playstation made that model available...

Thoughts on 69.99$ games for Next Gen Consoles?

in Gaming Discussion 3 days ago

I would happily pay more for a quality game, if the game wasn't already raising the price in other ways: DLC, season passes, microtransactions. Games are fro a long time much more expensive than 70$. And it is highly ironic that we discuss this price hike for a game, that actually costs already much more and will continue to do so in the future. Look, you already can preorder NBA2K21 Legend...

J.K. Rowling Writes about Her Reasons for Speaking out on Sex and Gender Issues

in Politics Discussion 5 days ago

Torillian said: The issue I see with Rol's thought process is not that one is defining who they would date based on some criteria, but that that dating criteria is how you define who is and isn't a woman. "what stood out is the statement that transgender women are women.Simply ask yourself if you would draw a line between dating women and transgender women; if you are honest about it, the...

J.K. Rowling Writes about Her Reasons for Speaking out on Sex and Gender Issues

RenCutypoison said: Immersiveunreality said: I'm doing my best seeing the transphobia you see but having a hard time with it. Just because that can be seen as insensitive does not mean that it is inherently transphobic. You see two men. One is white, one isn't. If you treat them differently based on this one trait, that's racism (obviously, ill intent, systemic opression...

Quick remainder that what happens in anybody's pants is their and their sexual partners business only.
