I don´t get it, Runbow is scored as an indie, they play in another league, they can be compared with other indie games and that´s it, because the criteria is not the same, however Splatoon is a full priced retail game and it was scored with an 81 when it had like a 30% of the content it has right now, even some critics gave it a low score because they thought the game was not going to have any longevity,  but now  we know that´s not the case and now we have like 3 times more content than at first, so the score is not representative of the game, that´s what I wanted to say.

This notion ended when indies won GOTYs like Journey did.

 

Games are Games.

No it doesn´t, but i guess you agree that Gone Home is better than the 90% of retail games on PS4 just because is better scored.


Havent played it yet, but i agree that Transistor is a better game than Splatoon and the majority of Ps4 retail games.

 

Not Bloodborne tho.

I don´t think you have played Splatoon to begin with.

Transistor is a good game tho, I didn´t love it but i apreciated.

The Nintendo lynch mob is in full flight today

“We’re not known for exclusive [indie games] in particular, and that’s because we’re not throwing around a lot of cash. We also don’t see a huge benefit to developers in driving exclusive deals with platforms and consoles. They need to do what’s right for them from a business perspective, and we want to help complement that and make sure that they’re making the most from the experience on our platforms. We very much encourage all of our development partners to release simultaneously across all platforms.”

“We’ve seen the data that proves that the developers are the ones that are going to benefit from that versus going with an exclusive arrangement. We’re certainly not going to frown upon those people that are bringing exclusive content over to us, because we will make the most of it and make sure they are doing a great job with it. I think that we have a strong focus on multiplatform content, and that’s because we do have a point of differentiation with our control schemes and what these developers can create in a unique environment.”

Fuck you Nintendo for putting the little guys first above your own needs

First Spencer, now Nintendo. Man, Sony went from imminent bankrupcy to being filthy rich. Such a turn of events


What? First Spencer what? Then Nintendo what? And Sony is certainly not filthy rich. They're improving.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

Here on Europe they have published 6 games though: Captain Toad, Mario Party 10, Kirby RC, Splatoon, Yoshi WW and Devil´s Turd, and they are gonna release another 6 : Super Mario Maker, Fatal Frame V, Star Fox Zero, Mario Tennis, Animal Crossing amiibo party and Xenoblade Chronicles X. So 12 exclusive retail games on 12 months is not so bad.

And that comment about the highest scored game is pretty silly, we all know Splatoon is one of the best online shooter ever made and a 81 does not represent at all the importance and quality of the game right now, in fact several critics are reviewing the game again and giving it the praise it deserves. Just because Runbow is the best scored doesn´t mean is the best.





I hope you remember this for future discussions. Cheers bro.

Is your only goal in this thread to rile people up? Because that's what it feels like to me. If you're just trying to upset people, I think you should stop posting.

Wii U console owners should be offended with this kind of PR from Nintendo, specially when your console have had like 3 retail games released this year AND the highest scored game from this year is an INDIE game called Runbow.

SMH...

I didn't know metacritic dictates how much fun we have with a game. I'd much rather play Splatoon, Yoshi's Woolly World or Super Mario Maker, thank you very much. ;)

With the exception of Minecraft indie games are irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

Nintendo actually has shown great support to indies this year with their Shovel Knight amiibo, Nindies at home program, Nindies at Night conference and the Nindie Humble Bundle. You might want to actually inform yourself a little bit better next time.

They're also getting most of the important indie games in the coming years: Yooka-Laylee, Mighty No. 9, Oddworld: New N' Tasty, Kerbal Space Program, Fast Racing Neo and Bloodstained. They're also getting the Binding of Isaac: Rebirth and Terraria 3D. And the upcoming Minecraft: Story Mode game.

The latest sensation in competitive gaming has taken Twitch by storm.

Rocket League, the game of soccer featuring a giant bouncing ball and two teams of rocket-powered race cars, has already sold over 5 million copies. And as more people play it, more people watch it. The game has powered its way into the five most watched games on the popular streaming platform.

The game's developer, Psyonix, is now prioritizing a spectator mode for the game, which will allow users to watch the biggest games featuring the best teams.

You mean you think that you make valid points. Remember, you were quick to abandon most of your contributions.
