Miiverse just eats up whatever Nintendo serves on a plate. Not me though.

Actually...Miiverse is not happy with this game.  They're taking screengrabs of ridiculous graphical problems.  Not sure if Spurge doesn't have a sarcasm detector, or if he just hit a lucky patch.


All right. I got the first issue of the Sonic Boom comic series today at my local comic book store. The comics will probably be better than the game.

Everyone on miiverse is having a blast. Says it is the best Sonic game in a long time. 

There are no bad comments yet, and I have scrilled through 30-50 miiverse posts.

 

Will you get it now or at least investigate further?


I have never seen a game that most mi verse posters did not like - there more than a few that even go in about how god The Letter and Red Riding hood is-  IMO mi verse is not a good source for a ceitical view

Checked the Miiverse feed...alternate realities abound...as do invisible characters, doubled characters, sound drops. Man...why do some developers release games like this?

Because parents keep buying them.

Fixed.

Alright. What's changed?

Ever heard of sarcasm Spurge? This thread is one I struggle with, as I honestly don't know if you're being sarcastic or not.


Go to the American miiverse coney G! They are loving it compared to the trash we have seen on metacritice. Missleading trash that tells us nothing. I usually trust miiverse comments and am hardly ever disappointed.

Just like with The Letter, right? I'm pretty sure I have never seen a negative Miiverse comment actually, thinking about it

Nintendo deletes obviously negative posts.  I remember I posted something about how nintendo needed to add more online functionality to their games.  I was upset that mario 3d world wasn't going to have online multiplayer or something like that, and the comment was deleted...

um...parents vs people.  Parents are notoriously uninformed and buy whatever sounds cool or features the latest movie.

Alright. How's that different to the average gamer (a.k.a. people) though?

hmm..I would hope that gamers stay a little more informed about their hobby of choice.  You don't have a lot of parents going on forums and arguing about games...unless they're gamers.  These gamers may be making bad choices...but they're usually made after having read reviews and commentary on the game.

You have to be able to tell which are kids, trolls or teens. Then life will be better.


At best the game is borderline broken-   At worst it IS broken and it sux-  either way why blindly ( if you are taking advice from Mii verse that is blind) support a half assed production of a game that may be mediocre at best to begin with-  even most positive comments I see about the gMe (not including Mii verse) say the game sux just not as bad as some are saying it does -   No I do t understand why anyone would be supportive of an unfinished game or games like the letter and red riding hood that are nothing but scams?   Why support junk games just because they can be bought on mii verse?   At least spend money buying games from legit Indy devs that are making a real effort and give a darn 

Maybe this game will be fixed but I doubt it considering their confidence I it was not high -  re advertising, I have seen the 3DS version on tv but there was not even a mention of the Wii u version -  I doubt they are doing tv adds for the Wii u version -

Look for Family Party, then you will find one.

Something similar happened with me too. I was voicing my complaint as to why Wii Sports Club had to be bought individually and how they should provide a longer trial period, and to comment was deleted due to it being a spoiler.

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

That makes their choices even worse. So why would you put more blame on parents than gamers?

I'm still maintaning that it is parents that buy these games more than gamers.  That's why I would put the blame there.  We've all seen it while we've been shopping: the parent looks cluelessly at the games on the rack, then smiles once he or she finds a name that they actually recognoze (and know the kid loves).  Usually it's a tie in movie or cartoon game.  I'm mostly speaking facetiously...my comment was a small jab at the uninformed masses regarding our hobby of choice.  I've worked retail enough to see it in action.  But yeah...gamers buying bad games sucks...but it's all relative and subject to a lifetime of experience for each gamer.  Specifically I'm referring to broken games.

And actually...my comment was more about the developers, rather than the gamers.  You can't fault a gamer for seeing a franchise they like and buying it, hoping to get some enjoyment out of it.  I bought Other M and cringed through every spoken word of dialogue, and nearly every scene.  I just had hoped for a better experience...but that doesn't make me uninformed or guilty for supporting a bad title.  

Did the developer get too ambitious with the project?  Was it rushed to meet a window?  Christmas? Black Friday?  Anything before Smash comes in and decimates the competition?  Maybe they just assume that "kids" that play these consoles don't care about these issues.  Maybe they have Spurge on speed dial and once he gives the ok they know they've gone gold.
