I don't respect him.

I wonder if this is creeping sharia law or creeping Chinese style statism or a combination of both. In any case anyone was wondering this is the type of control and laws that liberalism/socialism brings.

I love it when stupid people throw around jargon to make themselves sound smart.

We really need a sequel to "Keeping up with GBATemp".

I tried to choose specific posts but there's so much shit clogging the septic that the whole bathroom needs to be replaced. Tons of Nintendo fanboy-on-fanboy butthurt and boner raging action!

I'm seriously considering this for a nomination in golden threads, too.

Have you ever actually used it? Of course it's big, but at least for adult hands, it's quite comfortable, and there's nothing inherent that makes it less comfortable than, say, the dualshock or 360 controllers. (The dpad in particular on the gamepad and pro controller is one of the best dpads I've ever used.)

That said, I personally would plunk down $20 or so for a decent PC gamepad rather than wait for drivers for a controller that's so big due to a touch screen that PC games can't use. That is, of course, if I wasn't literally 100% broke like I am now.

Speaking for myself, yeah, I don't care for the controller. Beyond my many, many quibbles with the touch pad aspect, the controller is a bit plasticky for my tastes. It feels kind of cheap. Not to mention that it's needlessly large, and doesn't really contour to my grip the way a game controller should.

The Dpad was fine, I guess, but nothing not memorably so. Plus, a dpad alone does not a good controller make.

That considered, I doubt you care for any of the official Wii peripherals, then. Most of them were made of similar plasticity (in fact, I think the nunchuck was made from the very same material).

And I wasn't saying that the dpad was the only good factor. I was just saying that the gamepad at least mostly matches the comfort of the competition, and the dpad in particular surpasses it.

That said, while a good dpad certainly can't make a controller on its own, I think a bad one can certainly cripple it. For example, I will always buy the PS3 version of multiplat side scrollers and fighters over the 360 version, even if the former is the inferior version, just because the dpad is such utter shit on the 360 controller. But that discussion is even further off topic, so I'm going to stop there.

A bit long but nearly entirely made of GBATemp Gold.

It seems to me you don't really know anything about gaming...

Nintendo uses the same franchises and characters, but innovates in terms of gameplay in every generation. For example Mario 64 is nothing like Mario Galaxy, although they are both on the same series.

The others just update the graphics and put more cutscenes.

Let's describe the games you named:

1) Skyrim. Graphical update of a dumbed down Oblivion, which was a graphical upgrade of a dumbed down Morrowind, which was a graphical update of a dumbed down Daggerfall. See a pattern here? Boring empty souless game. I enjoyed creating different builds of characters just to see what was possible, spent over 200 hours on this game(creating new characters and leveling them up a bit), never finished it once because it was so boring... And believe me, i still consider it the best game of this current generation on non Nintendo platforms...

2) Batman= Overrated graphical update of Final Fight with batman gadgets. It is hyped because it is a decent comic book hero game by fanboys.

3) Bioshock. Overrated First person shooter with crappy controls(like most console FPSs) and plasmoids. Yawn.

4) Assasin's Creed. B-movie with some kind-of-stealth handholding game in between. Boring.

5) Borderlands. Boring FPS with Diablo elements.Yawn again...

6) Mass Effect series. Scifi b-movie with a gear-of-wars clone between the cutscenes.

7) Red Dead Redemption. Wild west reskin of GTA IV.

8) Portal 2. A mediocre FPS puzzle game. Overrated as hell.

9) Far cry 3. Overrated FPS with open world elements. Frankly boring, with unrealistic gunplay and sucky controls...

For Sony exclusives, give me a brake... They suck so-so much it is not even funny. If not for the marketing dollar of Sony, none would know them...

Gears of War= Final fight clone with recent graphics.

Gran Turismo= I don't think it is overrated anymore, most know it sucks now.

Killzone=Just a tech demo for the PS

Uncharted and Last of us= Quality cutscenes and a boring game in between...

So, what is this "new ip"? There is nothing really. They create the same games, just with different models, textures, and character names. And they call it "new ip". Modern gaming is just reharses and dumbed down sequels with better graphics and more cutscenes for the teens and nerds who wouldn't know a good story if it hit them in the head...

At least Nintendo tries to test new control schemes and gameplay elements. And creates games for the gameplay, not for the cutscenes.

If i want to watch a movie or a tv series, i will do it thank you very much. Moviefication of games has become too much...


PS: Don't get me wrong, most of the games i criticized are decent, and you can enjoy and have fun with them(if you are not so jaded of playing the same game again and again like me). They just aren't the second coming of Christ like the gaming press and the fanbois hype them, and they certainly aren't "new". They are the same games we get a decade now... So-called "new ip"...

 

[Foxi4]

It is not about my tastes. It is about if something is even considered a game or not. Most AAA PS-Xbox games are NOT games anymore. You watch cutscene after cutscene, and play a stupid handholding mini-game in between. Take for example the Last of Us. Seriously, what did you enjoy? I know i know, the "story", the "atmosphere", the "graphics", the "actors". A b movie story, that if it was on the cinema, you would never go to watch it... Yet you paid to "play" it a (comparatively) vast sum of money...

 

[Foxi4]

I didn't say Nintendo made all those games. Try a different argument next time instead of embarrassing yourself.


By the way you should stop because my original post was in regards to vmm downplaying Nintendo while praising Sony. While it's true Sony has some good games under their belt, THAT DOESN'T GIVE ANYONE THE RIGHT to bash Nintendo simply because they keep making a series of games that sell.

"Leave Nintendo alone! Leave it aloooone...! You have no right to say all those words that hurt my inner fanboy! ;O;"

This is quickly becoming a Golden Thread.

haha very funny thank you for butting into someone else's conversation. Next time you eat words that were intended for someone else, better prepare for the taste.

Always ready for the sweet taste of victory (or as in the case of that thread, mutual understanding which is a victory in a way ;O; ). By the way, butting into someone else's conversation is sort of a hard thing to do on a public forum. No tears, just dreams now.

Okay I know I learned something today, next time if someone bashes any company, I'll just show them sales figures of said company so that they can either get more angrier or suddenly feel enlightened

Of course if said company hasn't had recent success, I'll just stay quiet
