I'm not buying another console unless it has "Nintendo" stamped on it.

I love the 3rd party games out there, but I won't buy another console to play them. Why? Fuck you, that's why.

Nintendo content is superb and well beyond the quality and games-craftsmanship of anyone else. I will always continue to buy their hardware so I can play their software.

3rd parties are largely about fucking the consumer and robbing us blind with a continued downward spiral of the valuation of our products. i.e. they keep offering you less and less while increasing the price, individuall and overall.

This DLC image above is a perfect example of what happens when you're only focus is on short-term gains. Nintendo doesn't do this and likely never will. Its anti-consumer and focuses on giving the consumer a lower end product while increasing the price. Additionally, it ruins the IP.

I also refuse to pay for online access. There is no reason for it. PC has lived for decades on free online play for its games AND the games tend to cost less. It is merely another way greedy corps are fucking us.

While the rest of you all have your lubed up asses, I'm sticking with Nintendo and its policy of hugs and high-fives.

So to 3rd parties (that don't put quality on Nintendo hardware) and MSony, I say rot in hell.

Nobody cares.


Not offense to OP, but sadly they do and you do too (and me) because this thread got over 200 replies in less than a day.

Nintendo just give you the same game time and time again..............that is better because?!

Most games are shit now for screwing you over in some form. This is why you wait and get the game + all DLC on steam for $1 or bargin bin 6 months after launch.


The good old, they never produce anything new argument.

Not only is this true but it's question begging because there are obvious new games which you will ignore. Then we have ask about gameplay.

If you produce a ip for years that are first person shooter and than you make a new ip that is a first person shooter that play extremely similar to other shooters is that really new? Does gameplay make something new or just name alone? This up to the person.

 

OP, currently I'm going Pc and wiiu. Same reasons why I am not buying ps4 or xbone1. Plus,never enjoyed Sony first party. Mircosoft ips I don't enjoy anymore.

 

So many new, mega hit games you and everyone else never mentions them. Wow, they must be something special!

A new storyline is nice, along with setting and characters. Having the same shallow as hell junk year on year is a poor show. Yes, the last gen was very poor for new games, but it did better than Nintendo over the last 15 years. Both gameplay and setting etc make it new. This is why I hate the CoD series as it is the same game reboxed half a dozen times, however Nintendo do take the crown for modelling an entire company on that basis.

Are not they the ones who don't drop the price in some games for years?

Just because something retains its full value over time does not mean its somehow bad.

Fact is mario, zelda and other games are supremely popular for the entire life of the hardware and well after where the games 3rd parties shovel out are proven to be worthless a month later.

The reason they are full priced even years after their launches is that they are pretty much all you can play on a Nintendo system. When you have constant flow of games coming in, the older games drop their values because people always have something new to play.

Stopped reading.


Yeah, same here. What a load of bullshit.

If you wanna look at the statistics, SCE had way more 90+ games than Nintendo in every gen so far. The quality gap is actually huge


Yeah, because metacritic numbers totally = obvious high quality.

And even if you want to go that route, ON Metacritic, out of the Top 20 "highest rated" games of all time (of the modern era), 6 of them are Nintendo developed/published titles, and not a single one of them is a Sony published game. Out of the Top 50? 12 of them are Nintendo titles, and 5 of them are Sony titles.

So that logic works out well, yes?

How many of those games are lik LTTP and OOT where metacritic counted like 10 reviews for a game? Today's games have well over 70 reviews for a game

A 90+ game in 94' isnt the same as 90+ game in 14'. There is a 20 years gap, the standards have been set significatly higher .

Actually I owned a ps3 and xbox360. The fact is i played lots of games besides indies. I came to the realization that the creativity and new gameplay ideas that aren't first person shooters that have high quality is nintendo. You can disagree but my obvervation I seen nothing that was quality and creative on the twins. To me video game storys are horrible because i love to  watch classic  movies so I have standard. There was reason i knew the plot of last of us in 20 minutes in. If care about stories good for you but still me the garbage is great and missing some great untold stories. If critics could actually grade video stories it would be low 50's. I like my stories simple like oot not sme borng cutscene mess where I have to stop playing ever 20 minutes (last of us).

 

 

Tell me one sony game that made the jump in story teling design and gameplay like Majora Mask? Or even Skyward Sword. Uncharted follows the same design and story in every sequal. So, give your myth story to someone buying because i'm not interested.
