exception not the rule baby :D

Or before the launch of the PS4 and Xbox One with the rumors that all systems were going to have graphics only slightly better than the PS360 because more powerful PCs haven't pushed anything too far above what we saw at the time.  Nintendo fans were all saying how powerful the Wii U was.  Then when the PS4 was announced in February.  Nintendo fans were then like.  Graphics don't matter, it's all about the games.

Then when X showed at E3 last year.  Nintendo fans praised its graphics how it was far better than PS3 graphics.  Well.  With the launch of the newest Nintendo direct, the graphics actually being worse, Nintendo fans now have to latch onto something else.  Bayonetta 2 has a gameplay video which looks better than X graphically, but is the graphics really better than the best looking PS3 game?  That's debatable.  I don't think it looks that great overall.  But one thing that I do notice and I really hate the effect, is how everything has that metallic texture on it.  Nintendo did this first with Metroid Prime on the Gamecube and it worked because well, Samus' suit is metal.  Because of the shiny reflective look, they then do it on most of their Wii games and now they're probably telling Platinum to do it as well.  It's a really ugly effect in my opinion, but I think they do it because they think it makes everything look better.  It makes everything look extremely unrealistic to me.  Platinum did it on Wonderful 101, now Bayonetta 2.  I think they're doing it because of Nintendo influence.
