This is such a textbook example of the pot calling the kettle black, it’s not even funny. Based on the most objective measure we have, average user and critic review scores, you are expressing opinions that not many are going to agree with. Thats fine, but criticizing someone disagreeing with the notion that Muramasa is the best game of all time, by calling that disagreement a bad take, come on…I like the game too, but a 79 average user rating on metacritic with 111 reviews compared to Ocarina of Time having a 91 with 11,000. Not to mention it’s 99 critic review score. The vast majority are going to view this as a bad take, and might express that disagreement.
I'd say get a hobby, but this is your hobby. Jesus, dude. It's video games.
Yeezus dude, What part stuck in your crotch, the jab at the Kardashians or the Wii? Since it’s just video games, which would be dumb to get defensive about, I guess the Kardashians? Anyone that doesn’t think the Kardashians, and their ilk, have made the world a worse place, i‘d view as a fool or feeding from the same trough. And the Wii is basically the Kardashians of video game systems. So read into that whatever you want, but that’s where I was coming from. I know you can survive the joke. Star Trek warned us about them years ago, ignore its warning about their species at your own peril.
Oh no not the casuals they smell like deodorantget out of my hobby grandma!
Million sellers tier are a niche number of titles. That generally come from established ips. Outside of pack ins most games will NEVER sell 50% of a consoles install base. as not everyone likes the same game. Hell I'd be surprised if there's games that sold even 10-20%.
I posted about a video game system, your the one who took it, and made it personal. Even if I touched a nerve about a video game system you like, there’s no need for that shit. But yeah, repeatedly going to ad hominem personal attacks, and nothing but that, to defend a video game system, does say a lot about the attacker. I feel the Wii was a bad turn for Nintendo, and the industry. Is that better, or still too “weird” to say on a video game forum? And I explained the joke portion enough, if you can’t now get its basis, then oh well, Star Trek is just too complicated I guess.
The graphics weren’t different, but the resolution was improved, 640x480p vs the original 320x240i. Do you count progressive scan when calculating resolution? It was 8x the resolution on GC if you do, or still 4x even if not. It was quite literally a game changer for me
You're kind of contradicting yourself there. Fire Emblem Three Houses only sold between 4-5 million copies. Kirby and the Forgotten Land sold less than 8 million. Mario Odyssey sold less than 30 million, but against Switch hardware sales of about 152 million, that's in line with Mario Galaxy on the Wii. Everything else that isn't Pokémon, Mario Kart or Zelda BOTW/TOTK sold around or less than Fire Emblem. So by your metric, actual gamers aren't buying the Switch either if they didn't buy the Wii.
Finally someone with a brain that also thinks this. I have more Wii games than N64 games, than Gamecube games, than PS3 games. Only the xbox 360 beats it in terms of great games on a system. Wii truly was a fantastic system but people dismiss it because WAGGLE CONTROLS MAKE MY BONES HURT!!!!!! and all the shovelware it has because everyone was trying to capitalize on its success.
Ok, just saying, based on the best type of “objective numbers“ available, it’s like 100 to 1 that are going to disagree with some of your takes. So not disparaging your personal preference in games, but talking about bad takes, probably not the route to go.
Someone with a brain? It’s fine to like the Wii for what it was, but why do Wii apologists have to be so nasty? And so quick to resort to personal attacks and strawman arguments. Makes bones hurt, whatever. My criticisms of the whole Wii era are not just the system, but the hemlock of greed, market and consumer manipulation and exploitation starting to spread unchecked, with thunderous applause. The basis of a lot of problems we have today, I feel have roots or got exacerbated in this era. Nintendo getting in on pumping stock numbers, stock market speculation, inventory speculation and scalpers, fomo, shovelware, NOAs blue ocean marketing strategy, blocking games like Xenoblade, the one large scale RPG it could have had, otherwise ready for release, for no reason other than to try and show, hey we don’t want dorky gamers, we want normies. And yes, waggle gimmicks did more harm than good for most games. I respect and actually like the attempt, but they made skyward sword worse than it already was. Wind Waker HD, a game that got shat on during its time as kiddy and dumb, has a 9.1 user score on metacritic. Its score has gone up with time. Skyward sword HD a 7.5, it’s already low score to start with, has gone down, even with waggle removed. Why do you think that is? If any remaster quality is better, it’s probably skyward sword, since it’s newer. But it’s source martial is being rated worse. Same with Twilight Princess HD, 8.5. And these are Wii U games, that probably would have been even better remasters on the switch.
Fire emblem they barely supported prior to awakening on the 3ds. where they went to the opposite of the spectrum. They not only fully supported it but they did lots of free cameo unit dlc, and the eshop credit if you bought it and smt4.
Try restarting your system
Fair enough, and true, if I was saying your statement was false. I’ve said multiple times the opposite, it‘s valid as your own opinion. Whose take is bad or not though, you probably got at least 100 to 1 against you based on those numbers, so do not be surprised if you get some disagreement. I like Xenogears a lot, but I understand it’s just a niche game in a particular genre. I wouldn’t say it’s better than anything on multiple classic systems, that would be foolish.
