streotype about nintendo?

[Skelletonike]

I play hentai games, my family things they're for kids since they see anime characters (not during certain parts obv)

What? They sometimes see the chat parts, and see a anime girl in the screen (dressed obv) and thing I'm playing or watching kiddy stuff. =3
They shall never know how kiddy those things really are.

It's ironic that this thread was posted on a site filled with children.

Actually, most of the users aren't children, most of the users are above 18 FYI.

Alright kiddo.

Most members are 14+. There are children around, and people stupid enough to be children, but a majority are teens or people in their 20's.

I thought this thread was about maturity not age. The two are often unrelated.

 

[wasim]

I'm15. And i love my DS, but some of the games makes me think like them too.

You'd be sorely mistaken if you thought they weren't related.
Though, they're not tied at the hip. More often than not, younger people are a lot less mature, but of course that's not always the case.

In truth this thread was about a stupid subject that has been debated over and over again, and hasn't once been really been a valid thing to even discuss since it's so asinine. Not really maturity.

Jokes aside...

Who said we were joking?

The Wii is a console for children and women with third party success story Let's Dance. Seriously what's so hardcore or mature about waggling the Wiimote like I'm giving a handjob. I'm not a prositute, I'm a soldier shooting to end the tyranny of monarchy.

but i think it's hardcore to play MW3 on wii with that wii zapper and play xenoblade, zelda and the last story

 

[DiscostewSM]

What's sad is how people try to title hardcore as "better" than casual, because it isn't the case, nor is casual better than hardcore.

The Fable series would like to have a word with you.

You could pull out that "all video games are for kids" card, since that's what a lot of non-video-game-playing old people think.
But honestly, people have been thinking that ever since the original Playstation came out. I'm assuming it was their marketing at the time.
You could mention Manhunt 2, which was rated AO solely for violence at one point (and probably is the only game to do so...GTA got AO for nudity, not violence). And it's only on the Wii, not on the 360 or PS3.

Every console has games catered to children or casual gamers. Nintendo seems to have a lot on their consoles because they're a family-friendly name, therefore developers have an easier time marketing their product to parents and other casual/child gamers. A mother of a 2 year old child is going to see the PS3 as a platform full of violence, nudity, and other not-so-kid-friendly things like that, but they'll look at the Wii and see that it's safe for children (For the most part).

Back to the subject of casual/kiddy games on other platforms...Look at the 360. The majority of Kinect games are either for kids or casual gamers...Sesame Street: Once Upon A Monster? Damn, so hardcore. Kinectimals? Watch out kids, Imma own some noobs in this shit.

Even outside of Kinect, there are a lot of casual games. People just don't care as much on 360 or PS3 as they're already seen as "hardcore" consoles. I personally don't care if people play core or casual games, but when you judge someone's maturity by the games they play, you certainly aren't very mature yourself.

For every "casual" PS3 or Xbox 360 game there's probably at least 10 "casual" Wii games. It's not like they're mixing and mingling, it's a biblical flood of casual titles. A lot of them shit.

I honestly think a lot of these myths are made up. Everyone loves to cry wolf when it gets them attention and makes them feel like the underdog.

I cannot believe people couldn't see the joke within your post. Your thought process is among the most immature around the temp (look at bold), yet you talk about all of the 'hardcore mature' games you play.

As you guys see, Emigre, our beloved hardcore mature gamer, is immature to the core. That's probably the most clever way to illustrate how the maturity of the gamer and the games they play (either 'hardcore/mature' or 'kiddy/immature') has no correlation, whatsoever.

P.S. I so love your jokes, Emigre.

By their standards, TWEwY would be a kiddy game, then.

(And you don't worry your parents would notice what you're really playing?)

I don't live with my parents anyway, but my grandma often comes into my room while I'm playing those games, and nope, one day I was playing one of my fave hentai games Rance 7 and my aunt barged into my room, all I had to do was avoid the hentai scenes... Normally I lock my room but since I forget, oh well... xP
And yeah, from their point of view, anything that has cartoons in it is childish, even Simpsons, South Park and Family Guy. xP

>South Park
>Childish

I just read a review that sounds like this, on Amazon.

Spoiler

Lol, Nintendo sucks, and this game just makes that fact too clear to ignore. You race around in go karts, it's clear that Nintendo is a company for kids games since nobody else would go though the trouble of making a game dedicated to a kid friendly racing activity. Nintendo is such a joke, while they're making stupid kid games like this, Microsoft is making the cool games, such as Modern Warfare 3. Does Nintendo have Call of Duty? Sure, but only if you want stupid Wii controls with god awful graphics (lol yet another Nintendo failure).

This game is crap, which is no surprise since it is released on a failure of a system (3DS). Two fails don't make a right.

That made me crack up. Yes, people stereotype Nintendo a lot. "Oh. DS. Is that the 3D one? It looks dumb. There isn't Call of Duty on it is there? It must be crappy." I have a PSP along with my 3DS/XL, but I usually prefer my Nintendo games. And I've seen adults play Nintendo games unashamed. Often they like to play em so they can play Mario Kart or New Super Mario Bros. with their kids. Nintendo may not have a bunch of blood/gore/sex, but it's still amazing fun.

 

[KingVamp]

I'm surprised this topic wasn't started by KingVamp

No, 'cause I would have put the title like "Sony is evil. Stay away." With a rant in the style of valwin sentence structure.



A real "hardcore" game would be a shooting game where you shoot shooting games off game stores shelves.
Yes, the games will be gushing out blood.

 

[MelodieOctavia]

Fuck em. I'm 27 years old, married and have a 1 1/2 year old son, and I own a 3DS. At one point you'll realize the opinion of what people think about you and what you use to entertain yourself with is worth less than the energy it takes to give a shit.

 

[godreborn]

neither the ps3 nor the 360 is all that impressive. both r essentially a poor man's computer with comparable games. u can't really consider urself hardcore unless u play at least 40 hours a week. grinding for random drops??? playing horrible games for easy achievement points or trophies??? sacrificing food and sleep to play??? these r the hallmarks of a hardcore gamer. anyone else is just a gamer--most likely a casual one at that.

besides, if it weren't for nintendo, the playstation and xbox brands wouldn't even exist.
