I never said they milked one franchise.  I listed a bunch of their  big franchises.

The only franchise that keeps things fresh (with any story in it) is advance wars, I didn't want to include a masterpiece in the rubbish I mentioned.

Non-violent? or just to lazy to make beautiful games?

colorful graphics? or just lazy?

no story? or didn't hire any story writers?

Almost no differences in the franchise for 20 years? or just milking?

EDIT: I guess nintendo games can be good for small children, who really don't care about a good story, or complex gameplay and open world gameplay.


ROFL!! I was getting a little bothered by you until I clicked on your profile and saw that you're a 16 year old male. So since good games = blood, explosions, etc. and bad (kiddy?) games = anything without that, I can devise that you are a typical 16 year old guy who takes himself a little too seriously, thinks he's a badass and likes to blow stuff up.

And I must say, deep analysis of the gaming world man, deep!

And BTW, you may want to reference forum rule #5 (platform criticism) in regards to calling the Wii 'crappy' with nothing to back that up, and also rule #8 (insults) regarding your comment about somebody being a 'dim-wit'.


I never said kiddie games equal bad, but, nintendo seems to keep making kiddie games and because they have never made anything mature (besides the bad geist) i think they just don't know how to make a good, complex game.  And it doesn't necessarally have to be violent, but  DETAILED. Violence in videogames is DETAILED, that's why i used that as an example.

 

And you insult my age? yeesh, got nothing better to do?  Have a job you should be doing?


I'm still ROFL. And I didn't INSULT your age, I simply made an observation. I was 16 once, thought EXACTLY like you on things like this, so I was just observing.

And a job? Yes, I do have a job. I make (we'll just say good money) as an IT Professional... you?

You, sir, have just made my night. Seriously... good stuff.

Edit: If you REALLY want to make my night, why don't you try responding to zenfolder's critique of your post?

What about Fire Emblem? Doesn't it have a story? In fact, isn't it made by the same people who make Advance Wars?

Non-violent? or just to lazy to make beautiful games?

One would assume you are saying games require violence to be beautiful, but that's not your intent. I admit your intent was hard to decifer here. Did you mean non-violent games are caused by laziness? Is Manhunt 2 not lazy, then? Are violent games always beautiful? Are beautiful games always violent? I give up, I can't decipher your meaning. It's poorly written and nonsensical.

colorful graphics? or just lazy?

Lazy? What are you talking about? It's become crystal clear to me that you've played very few, to no Wii games in your life, which is unfortunate. You speak of development or hardware? Graphical development is limited by the hardware? Are you telling me that Nintendo worked in conjunction with Retro studios to make a machine that wasn't graphically intensive because Retro is lazy and didn't feel like it. How bout this? Are you telling me that laziness, and not hardware limitations cause graphics to be lesser than the Xbox 360, and indeed the Wii is capable of much more. You make no sense, sir.

no story? or didn't hire any story writers?

Are you familiar with the concept of different software studios? How bout this? Nintendo hired the writer of Final Fantasy VII for the small story in SSB:B. It's more about a gameplay for certain games than money to hire writers. 

Almost no differences in the franchise for 20 years? or just milking?

Metroid? Pikmin? Zelda? Wii Sports? You played Zelda on Nintendo? Mario? 20 years? Seriously? Do you really believe that Super Mario Galaxy, Twilight Princess, MP3, or Brawl were lazily developed to milk a franchise? Are you actually saying that, having played them all, that these games are lazy cashins? Jesus H. Christ. You sir, lose credibility with every word.

EDIT: I guess nintendo games can be good for small children, who really don't care about a good story, or complex gameplay and open world gameplay.

 

Nintendo games can be for...small children, and small children alone. No grown man would want to play a videogame about Mario or Zelda? You know, it's people like you who say that about the videogame industry as a whole. You know what, they never played a videogame, just like you've rarely played a Wii. Your sincere lack of respect, understanding, or acceptance of anyone with different tastes than you make me sick, sir.


Wow. You're not a gamer, my friend. You're just a wandering soul, lost in a world that's bigger than you could imagine. You'll find literally hundreds of posters on this forum that could say what you just, with much better form. They would do it so well, that it would piss your target off far more than you did, and it wouldn't even have been considered trolling.

 

However, you are not them. You sir, give Nintendo-Haters a bad name, and that I don't say lightly. I've responded in red, so that we may leave no doubt.


okay, you are using FOX news tactics. Okay I can roll.

1.Fire emblem isn't a major franchise (what? 2-3 game boy games and 1 console game?) So I never mentioned it with the milked games

 

2.I have owned a wii game since launch, I used violence as an example, because it is detailed, you don't usually see a really detailed mario jump attack.  (i guess you could also blame this on the wii's inadequacy in graphics (I think i spelled that wrong))

 

3. Mario kart.  How could you say that looks good?  It's colorful, to hide it's ugliness. *looks for pattern in all mario games*

 

4.Really? Maybe that's why people say the  subspace emissary mode sucks.

 

5.Yes I do believe so. An example: well... all of those franchises I mentioned (pokemon is too obvious, all that's different is the new pokemon, that get more ridiculous each installment)  I can only own so many games in each franchise, and play so many.  And, yes, I think they are lazily developed, or more likely, made "safe" taking no risks and making the franchise the same each time a game is released. (EX: Madden)(I have a clear point, but You gotta think about it)

 

6.And finally the last part:

 

Again, I DO OWN A WII, and I have probably owned mine longer than you.

#2 I never said it wouldn't be fun for old people, the wii ads make sure that message gets across

 (accidently left out)

Nintendo games are fun.. for the first 30 minutes. Then anyone who likes more than  Ooooooh HOOOOO itsa mario! will be watching TV. My point is, they're not deep, and it takes more to hold an adults attention. 

#3Oh and You insult me? Eyerytime you post on an xbox, or ps forum  you become the  Dr Jekyll  of VGChartz

Your oppinion is just as valid as his he believes they are kiddie games and that has been a strong view by other gamers on the more mature consoles.

I think Nintendo just started to allow mature titles. is that good or bad??? does having games like SMG and LZ MP3 rehashed over and over good or bad??? there is a market they sell and guys like You really like them.

does that mean other gamers who feel those games arent for them are stupid or lacking? because they like explosions?

I did like MP3 and Zelda for the Wii I couldnt play SMG and havent gotten into a mario game since NES. Kirby or any of those dont intrest me.

He probably should be lighter towards people who like those games but I 'ves seen poster here suggest anyone playing H3 should try playing a real game.

Last time I checked its was a real game maybe its not your choice of game but it is a real game none the less!

So 360 Ps3 and wii fans can all be Aholes maybe stratedgy is tired of dumb arguments and talk of lack of substance in games! But you guys arent checking that guy why???? because you agree with him???? Your good at criticizing but make your critiques equal and not just a flame on one position then your blast on being open minded might be more effective.

@strategyking and your response to Zenfolder: THANK YOU!!! I am STILL ROFL! Ok, ok... just for fun.

1. He was making a point about your assertion that lack of story = not 'fresh'. You totally missed his point.

2. Owning 'a wii game since launch' did not help your credibility. Also, I didn't know that violence by definition was 'detailed'.

3. Maybe he could 'saw' (lol) that it looks good because he actually played it. And it's colorful and stylized because the developers wanted to do it that way. Maybe some of us like games for fun, not just graphics (you play games, not just look at them).

4. 'People say' is an irrefutable argument that has way too much logic in it for me, so I dare not respond.

5. I cannot wrap my brain around your brilliance.

6. Yes, owning a Wii is definitely more important than playing one or owning more than 3 games. And because you say 'anyone' who plays a mario game and likes depth will be watching TV 30 minutes later, it must be true. At 16, you have really discovered what holds and adult's attention. HA!

Wow, you have totally confirmed everything I said and thought about you. And you have officially made my night. You, sir, are brilliant.

Ok, dude, this is getting absolutely rediculous. Why did you just bash the Wii when DogWeed was talking about consoles in general? Stop turning a thread about why some people hate the 360 into your own (totally unrelated) wii-bashing fest.



1. But still, I never said it was milked
2. you know what I mean, so stop being an obvious annoyance.
Well, when you see an arm get severed, and the bloods' physics, yes, I would call that "detailed"
3. Well, it's kind of hard to like a game that looks like a gamecube game that you payed 50$ for. (and also, it means they had LAZINESS) Do you honestly think they could've spent 2 more months on graphic improvments?
4. Fine then, again: I guess that's why every mario game is about mario saving (____) from (_____) by jumping on (_____) and moving through (____) levels.
5.Did you see how I said "made safe"
6."At 16, you have really discovered what holds and adult's attention. HA!"
Since you insult some little writing flaws: ha----ha.
I have not made your night, you will still argue.(If my assumptions of lonely adults are right)

Everyone, I apoligize for feeding the troll, that was not my intention. I hoped that he would get the hint and stop being rediculous, but apparently that is impossible.

Some people hate xbox because they hate MS, RROD, etc. Some are fanboys of other consoles. I like the 360 and would like to own one, but I don't even have a ton of time to play my Wii right now (kind of busy with my wife being pregnant, house, responsibility, etc.) But I do like to enjoy the occasional game of Halo with friends who have the 360.

We now return to our regularly scheduled discussion...

2.) Not everyone WANTs to see blood, in some games, it can ass to teh style, and in others it just distracts from it. If I'm immersing myself in a fantasy, then often times, I don't WANT realistic blood and guts or even a semi realistic art style. That just gets distracting. There has actually been an in depth look at how adding in too much detail actually DISTANCES the viewer/player from being able to immerse themselves in the game.

3.) Wow, did you develop a new graphics program that lets you just increase the graphics like you'd inflate a balloon? "Hey Shigeru, your left front Mario is looking a little flat, we'd better go fill him back up again!" If the graphics are good enough, we just take a couple months to pump up whatever we have. That's totally how it works!

4.) And any FPS is line your cursor up with the enemies head to kill them and once you get the shotgun never use any other weapon, any JRPG is wait for cutscene to finish, wait for battle, attack, heal, save, repeat. any racing game is drive around in rough circles for a couple laps and get in first.  If you're going to be general like that, pretty much EVERY game is just like every other one, unless you want to talk about Nintendo's casual titles like Nintendogs and WiiFit.
