Isn't it funny that an overwhelming majority of the people "agreeing" with him haven't played the game, and bear Sony-centric avatars and signatures. I am almost tempted to go revisit that thread where people were complaining about Horizon:Zero Dawn getting some bad reviews to see who here are hypocrites about, "it's his opinion, man!"

Ofc the best way to judge ppl is from their avatar, and not the argument they write.

 

I also voted trump because he's a good looking white man that also has an appearance of an alpha.

I haven't played the game.  I agree with the review of the game.  Seems legit.

I haven't played the game. I agree with the 10/10s it is getting.  Works both ways.  Of course, I have eyes and ears, so have the great ability to watch gameplay vids.  The weapons breaking constantly would annoy me to no end, so yes, I agree with him.  Of course, your response makes you seem like one who is acting like anything below a 9 for Zelda is a travesty and must be dealt with.  Remember, he actually thought the game was good.  Sorry, to some its not perfect.

Ah.  Other people with different opinions are equally uninformed so it's ok for you to have an uninformed opinion.  Got it.

You also seem to think I said things that I didn't say.   Clearly anyone suggesting you should actually play a game before agreeing with a review is a fanboy who hates anyone who gave it a bad review :-/ I guess making decisions with no basis is just something you do.

I don't know if you missed it or not, but I have been responding to the arguments in three threads for countless pages. But when I see people post stuff like this "Definitely not interested in this game" followed by "And I know Nintendo fans will defend anything Nintendo does in their games, but that is completely ridiculous." and "I definitely agree with Jim here"  as they hold PSN sigs, I can't help but see through the obvious bias here. 

But who am I kidding, the entire gaming media is just scared of Nintendo fans (a very small demographic of gamers), for whatever reason and gave BOTW  high ratings because of backlash or they are paid by Nintendo, right? Yeah, that is believable.

Combat in this game is great by the way.

Embedded for you. 



The video actually shows that Jim's complaint about the game being difficult because enemies hit hard is unfounded. That person fought the Lynel with less than two hearts.

If you think I have a bias against Nintendo you've completely misread me. I'm  frustrated with what I feel is repeated mis-steps Nintendo has made and continues to make in the past decade or so. That doesn't mean I have a bias against Nintendo, it just means I disagree with them. I grew up playing Nintendo consoles, own many of them, and continue to play them on a regular basis. Why do you think I have a bias against Nintendo? Because they were horrible to work with when I did so, when I couldn't stand how tedious it was to develop for the Wii or Wii U? Or because the Switch, from the concept to the design, to the hardware itself, to the launch of the Switch itself, I must be biased against them. That doesn't makes sense.

Do you know I actually got a switch and Zelda at release. Sat down with it in my living room, and just couldn't justify the price I just paid to essentially just play Zelda for the next six months, so I returned it instead. I realized I refuse to get any controllers, pro controllers, or adapters because of their money-grabing pricing scheme, which means pretty much every multi-player game is out for me right now. Hopefully Nintendo will change its tune and make decisions that I'm willing to pay them for, but until then, my money will go into their competitors.

See here's the problem. I feel I get that label because I refuse to hold Nintendo to a different standard than I hold any other video game development company to. I expect them to make games and/or hardware that I am excited to play, and they haven't done that in a long time. During that time they've also made a few business decisions that has caused me to lose trust in them to a point where I don't give them the beenfit of the doubt. But, I don't want them to fail. I don't want them to necessarily exit the console business either. I just want them to either a) make hardware that I actually want to buy or b) put their games on other peoples hardware that I already want to buy. I don't care which. I feel many of the people on this site label me anti-Nintendo because I'm not as big of a Nintendo fan as them. In reality, I'm attending the Nintendo party, I'm just not throwing back the contents of cup just because Nintendo hands it to me. There's too many people  on this site that act like there's something wrong if you if you don't agree with pretty much everything Nintendo does. I'm not one of them, but that doesn't mean I'm not a Nintendo fan, and it definitely doesn't mean I'm anti-Nintendo.

You really don't sound believable at all. You knew months ahead of time that Zelda was going to be the only big game at launch. 

The game received universal acclaim, what miss-steps are you talking about? 

If they haven't made games that excite you in a very long time then you're simply not at all interested in the games they develop. To say they haven't developed good or even amazing games in a long time is down right ludicrous. 

Nintendo is reliant on just their games and consoles, they can't just cut down the price of their products to €188 like Sony did for the PS4. They don't have the revenue income to use such a strategy for the long-term. Sony gets revenue from all kinds of sectors like movies, blu-ray and music. 

Why is it so hard to believe I got caught up in the hype? The problem isn't necessarily with the games in a sense. The games are fine, but they're not must-haves. The problem is that the hardware is just so terrible that the games have to be that much better to overcome the hardware that is just so unappealing for me. To me, even when they're summed together from Mario Kart to Zelda to Mario to Pikmin to whatever to just doesn't reach that threshold for me. If I could get Nintendo games on PS or Xbox or PC, I'd probably have most of them, but it just isn't worth it for me to buy Nintendo hardware I don't like just to play those games.

If you don't believe me, I really, genuinely could not care less. That's the truth.

Ofc the world is scared of nintendo fans. They're the only fan that would defend the lack of charger in n3ds bundle.

 

Ofc the world is scared of nintendo fans because they're the only fans that would judge some randoms from their avatar. That would judge ppl agreeing to an argument that's ALREADY WELL EXPLAINED IN THE VIDEO.

 

Nintendo fans are truly the scariest. Good lord, just when i thought some ppl in 3ds subreddit are bad enough

Uninformed would be coming in blind and just automatically agreeing with him.  Again, I have followed the game and have watched gameplay vids.  That is far from uninformed.  But, if you have no true argument, and it makes you feel better to attack someone, instead, you go right ahead.

I still have to laugh at all the butthurt from a freaking 7.  Lol, a good score get's people this upset.

Yes, people arguing with you on the internet is certainly "scary" and you're going to compromise integrity, and intellectual honesty because of it. Please, this is the real world.
