Ubisoft to EA: Y u so mad?

[ShadowSoldier]

Eh I get the Mass Effect point, admittedly it was kinda dumb but I guess they didn't want to bother porting the other games. All the games were already on the Xbox 360, they only needed to port Mass Effect to the PS3. A Wii U version would require porting the other two games plus adding dumb controller features.

EDIT: For Dead Space I'll be honest I haven't played any of them so I'll not really refute your point.

If you're not going to bother porting the other two games, then don't port the third and expect customers to eat it up. Anybody could see that it was a rip off.

A lot of commenters on IGN, YouTube, Kotaku, you know those types of sites. Hell there was even some people here saying it.

You mean those same guys who are supposedly nintendo-hating, anti-fun graphic whore 13 year olds who only buy CoD and NFL 2k games?

Everyone has this whole Nintendoom thing that they are making a big deal of saying those doomers are idiots, but what makes any of you think these are anymore then the usual trolls who hate because its fun? Im starting to see what Foxi and Guild mean by making yourself a minority.

It's fun to troll trolls.

In all fairness, I bet anything that there are people on Sony and Microsoft forums who are just as childish. I bet ANYTHING.

It's hard to take you seriously when the only people that seem to bring up this "scenario" are the trolls who don't like Nintendo...

I totally understand, but that's not the case. I'm a diehard Nintendo fan, but I'm also (anomalistically) not a lying diehard Nintendo fan. I'll never intentionally express a biased point of view.

I use to be a liar (or optimist) like the rest, but it really all changed with the 3DS when I got it day one and felt, and still feel, conned (after the price drop, draught of games, bad business on Nintendo's part, underpowered specifications, etc). Here's my friendcode if you wanna add me on the 3DS. 0173.1311.9873. Otherwise, I've owned every (successful) Nintendo console.

Mostly I feel conned because Nintendo made the 3DS and Wii seem so much more than it was, especially in terms of power. I caught their tricks with the WiiU.

I find it funny... you can look at the Nintendo is DOOOMed.

But where the hell is besides a few articles about lack of PS Vita games... the same damn articles about the VIta that was around for the 3DS?

I mean Sony hemorrhages money... and people are like "Oh! Well.. That's fine! No problem!" the PS2 outsells the PS3.. "Oh! It's fine! It's fine! IT'S FUCKING FINE YOU GODDAMN MORONS!" But Wii U is having a problems. "HAR HAR! NINTENDO IS DOOOMED! YOU LITTLE GAY POKETARD NERDS! BLOOOOOOOOD! TIIIIIIIIIIITS!"

Because Sony's financial problems aren't news. They've been present since 2000, when they had a peaked market worth of $200 billion+, and now according to Forbes they're worth less than $15 billion. Though they hemorrhaged $185 billion+ in the span of a decade, it's not news.

The WiiU failing is news. The Vita had it's phase, but it ended when it started outselling even the 3DS in a few consecutive weeks. Now it's no longer news.

There's just so much attention people will give bad news, but the problem is that gamers are PEOPLE. That's a problem, because Nintendo gamers are CHILDREN (or immature), which means they develop mentally slower.

So while Sony fans reacted with denial, and then anger, bargaining, and then (a euphemistic) depression, and FINALLY acceptance, after only a few months of bad news, a majority of Nintendo fans have been stuck on denial and anger.

So tell the average Vita fan that they have no games, and they'll say "Yeah, kinda. We have a few, but hopefully we'll get some new ones soon."

Tell the average WiiU fan (see: this thread, that thread, ANY thread) that they have no games, and they'll only react with DENIAL or ANGER,

GROW UP, NINTENDO FANS. THE 5 STAGES OF GRIEF HAS GOT YOU PEGGED.

I'm seriously considering tracking your posts so I can reply to each and every one with an enthusiastic, "OH, SNAP!"

There's no need to bring up paraplegics

Except that it's not... and nice subtle flames in there...

This has been going on for over 15 years...

And yeah... Nintendo fans are the immature ones? They are the ones with for the most part, strong female protagonists instead of "FUCK YEAH! I'M GOING TO GO SHOOT MY BIG MANLY GUNS AND SEE LOTS OF BLOOD AND THEN GO FONDLE MY GIRLFRIEND RUDLY! CAUSE I"M A MAN YOU WORTHLESS N****!" all yelled in a 13 year old voice....

Uh no. People know there's a lack of games on the WiiU. We're not disputing that (the only thing I dispute is my WiiU collecting dust because I play it more than I do my PS3 believe it or not). The thing we get tired of is everybody saying Nintendo should go third party or Nintendo is doomed, which has become such a huge trend in the last couple years (Pachter being a huge leader in some of it) it's gotten absolutely ridiculous.

 

[Tigran]

Not even the last couple of years.. I could take an article about the N64 vs PS1.. Replace with Wii U and PS4.... and everyone would litteraly think it's a current article.

Hell.. I could take a 3DS vs Vita article....

 

[Bobbybangin]

The WiiU failing is news. The Vita had it's phase, but it ended when it started outselling even the 3DS in a few consecutive weeks. Now it's no longer news.

It outsold the 3DS in Japan. And that was only after a significant price cut and the release of Shattered Souls. Sony estimates that it will sell 5 million Vita's while Nintendo estimates it will sell 18 million 3DS' for the 2014 fiscal year. Even if Sony exceeds expectations and the 3DS falls short that still means success for the 3DS and bitter disappointment for the Vita. Oh and not to mention Pokemon, Monster Hunter, and Zelda have yet to be released for the 3DS which will lead to an even more significant boost in 3DS sales. The difference is that Vita has been on the market about 10 months longer than the Wii U. The Wii U will probably fare more successful after their inevitable price drop and release of first party titles.

 

[MTSoph14]

I don't know why many of you think there'll be a price drop, the Wii U is already SOLD AT A LOSS. That's the strategy, sell a system, lose a little. Sell ONE game, bam, PROFIT.

 

[Gahars]

And yeah... Nintendo fans are the immature ones? They are the ones with for the most part, strong female protaganists instead of "FUCK YEAH! I'M GOING TO GO SHOOT MY BIG MANLY GUNS AND SEE LOTS OF BLOOD AND THEN GO FONDLE MY GIRLFRIEND RUDLY! CAUSE I"M A MAN YOU WORTHLESS N****!" all yelled in a 13 year old voice....

Cool strawmanning, bro, because that's totally all there is. Totally. Bro. Brosky. Brosky and Hutch. James Brolin. Bromar. Brottoman Empire. Buddy.

Also, strong female protagonists? Most of the female characters often play the damsel role, like Peach, Zelda, etc. They're not necessarily bad characters because of this - and that doesn't mean they're weak characters, and each can take active roles - but I don't think most would think of them when listing "strong female protagonists" in gaming.

Nintendo does have Samus Aran, a positively great example and... oh. Oh. Oh...

You just cannot bring up "strong female protagonists" in Nintendo games. Nintendo games are notoriously misogynistic. The helpless Zelda, the helpless Peach, Cooking Mama... okay, I actually don't know where else I'm going with this. There aren't that many examples, but...

How many "big manly gun" games can you actually name that degrade women, hyperbolicly show blood, and are overtly "masculine"? And for the FEW games that do, don't you think that's sort of a characteristic of war, it's sexual deprivation, it's violence, and it's bravado? Have you ever observed (or seen in videos) military personel on duty? Can you hate a development studio for properly portraying their medium?

Edit: I could make a list of strong lead female roles in non-Nintendo games, and it would far outweight the one and only Samus Aran, who, btw, has an overemphasized body, but I AM NOT COMPLAINING, AND IF YOU ARE; QUESTION YOU SEXUALITY (or gender, or whatever, ps., not offence to whichever you are).

Your anger seems to have fizzled out, and I hope I was a catalyst for that process. You're welcome.

(By the way, incase peope haven't noticed, I'm trying to be funny... even though I'm not.)

 

[JoostinOnline]

The helpless Zelda

You mean the kickass Zelda who helps slay Ganon? And just because a spiked turtle 3 times your size captures you, that doesn't mean you're "helpless". Pretty sure you couldn't take on Bowser.

Also, Samus anyone?

You sound like you should be a writer for Kotaku. They're good at finding the smallest thing possible in video games and blowing it way out of proportion.

Congratulations, because she can shoot a bow and arrow (let's omit Super Smash Bros., because like... the Ice Climbers vs ANYBODY? etc.)

But can the b**** start carrying pepper spray or something after dozens of aggravated encounters? N Id fuq Bowsers shyt kid.

I don't want to ruin the plot of OoT, but there's a whole lot more to it than that.

And Bowser would sit on you and you'd be done.

funny thread, one prev bad company blaming another

 

[OldClassicGamer]

So even if Wii U fails, Nintendo will never go Software only. They would never do same mistake like Sega did

 

[The Milkman]

It's fun to troll trolls.

Believing they are serious and basing your idea of what the general populous believes off of it is the complete opposite of trolling!

In all fairness, I bet anything that there are people on Sony and Microsoft forums who are just as childish. I bet ANYTHING.

Why stoop to their level then? Everyone wants to prove Nintendo isn't for kiddies but we act like kids and then say Sony and M$ fans do the same so its ok?

 

[Minox]

Ubisoft produces a pile of shit. But if you dig through this pile of shit you can find gold grains. EA on the other hand produces hot air.

I really want to like Ubisoft, they make lovely games. It's just their treatment of paying customers I really couldn't care less for.
