What utter nonsense...

Nintendo fanboys really are the absolute worst!

Kiwi662383d ago

Worse than other fanboys who say that their console of choice has won the holidays before its actually the holidays ?

2383d ago
Shiken2383d ago

They really have though, for a lot of people. Pokemon will be huge, even with the controversy, Astral Chain was a huge new IP, Fire Emblem is still pumping out content, Dragon Quest XI S is the definitive version of the game, portable Witcher 3, and Luigi's Mansion 3 give gamers a lot to enjoy. And there is plenty more to play outside of that.

Meanwhile Sony has a very deep walking simulator. Nothing wrong with that, but it is not for everyone. MS has nothing of note and Stadia will be DoA.

The only people trying to claim Nintendo does not have a huge advantage this holiday and won even in terms of what it has to offer during the season are just haters who are bitter about the Switch doing so well.

Facts

Juusterey2383d ago

Astral chain has nothing to do with "holiday 2019"
Funny how you bring up "the definitive version of dragon quest xi"
but the worst version of the wither 3

Shiken2383d ago

@Juusterey

I said portable Witcher 3. Last I heard Sony and MS offer 0p at 0fps for playing that game natively.

Astral Chain is just another game to motivate people to buy the system. People often look at releases leading up the the holidays to help them decide what to buy. But of course you would try to put a spin on it and try to count it out.

Shiken2383d ago

Not gonna lie...Pokemon has me worried. Might have to do a hard pass till GF gets their shit together.

-Foxtrot2383d ago

Glad to see those high quality animations at work

Thanks to all the Pokemon who gave their life for this

Pokemon subreddit is raging and from what I have read sword/shield is going to be a big let down.

Main story is 15 - 20 hours

Endgame is about 3 hours worth of content

Npc and pokemon appear out of thin air when you get close enough

When you use a ladder everything around you freezes (npc was throwing a pokeball up and down and it just stopped mid air when getting on a ladder)

If you dont care for spoilers go watch the final climatic battle between the legendary's on the box, they dont even have turning models they just walk and spin on the spot.

RpgSama2383d ago (Edited 2383d ago )

It will get high 80's or low 90's on metacritic, Nintendo games are judged unfortunately under different rules, the always get a pass on things other developers get ducked points.

phoenixwing2383d ago

@rpgsama

I couldn't agree more. Nintendo definitely gets a pass from reviewers and are treated very differently than both sony or microsoft. By all rights this pokemon game deserves to be rated low from all the downgrades present and lack of features. However, they won't get so much as an unkind word.

-Foxtrot2383d ago

There's already an editor at Gamespot on twitter calling people entitled and ignoring the real issues...just pretending that it's only because of the Dex cut, that's it, no other issues.

If she's reviewing the game then it's got a high score

RosweeSon2383d ago

If that was remotely true then how did Mario and sonic barely score a 7/10 on average surely it would have been a 9 or a 10.
Regards to phoenixwing they get treated different to Microsoft as they have barely ever released a game changing fantastic game. That’s why Microsoft games don’t score well and Nintendo ones do. Don’t know what your on about with Sony their games
Have reviewed very well this gen most sitting a solid 9s
I mean it couldn’t be to do with the fact that good games get good scores could it 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷 🏻‍♂️😂✌🏻

2383d ago
Dragonscale2383d ago

Unfortunately this will sell regardless of reviw scores.

RpgSama2382d ago

There you go, I was right, on the ign review they actually admit that it's lacking content and features in the very first paragraph by saying that gamefreak streamlined the experience only to put a 9.1 score, disgusting.

"Endgame is about 3 hours worth of content"

As a Switch only gamer, we deserve better. I just got DQ11 delivered to me. Will buy Atelier Ryza when I'm done with DQ11. Im staying the hell away from any Pokemon games until Game Freak gets its act together .

phoenixwing2383d ago (Edited 2383d ago )

@logic

I hope you do and I was planning to down the line buy a switch and pokemon which now seems like a waste of time. I plan to buy a switch mainly for fire emblem now but i also want the joycon issue fixed before i pump in 260 dollars

RpgSama2383d ago

DQXI it's AMAZING!! You're in for a treat, best traditional JRPG of this generation, and SO full of content, when you get to the endgame it's basically another new game of content

Shiken2383d ago

DQXI S is a fantastic game. Just finished it up recently and will eventually return for post game. Enjoy!

LOGICWINS2383d ago

@RPGSama and Shiken

Thanks guys! Will start playing this weekend!

Pretty much

This does not deserve your money

Krangs_Uncle2383d ago (Edited 2383d ago )

No concern articles, some reviewers already calling gamers entitled... The way Nintendo is treated by the media is a complete joke compared to Sony and MS.

So transparent.

Get ready for the 10/10 from Edge - the most biased publication going (Nintendo Everything).

rainslacker2383d ago

Well...the game isn't 50 hours long, so no chance they will get bored with it, so they can finish it, and then actually review it.

XabiDaChosenOne2383d ago (Edited 2383d ago )

That's disappointing, the game already isn't the massive upgrade I was hoping for given the hardware. Now its allegedly less content than the handheld versions lol thats funny.
Where can I watch the final battle with the legendary?

Neonridr2383d ago

it's scoring fairly well, so define letdown?

They will sell the most consoles this holiday and they have the best exclusives in the last 5-6 months yes.

LOL_WUT2383d ago

Best exclusives? Care to elaborate? ;)

Shiken2383d ago (Edited 2383d ago )

Compared to a Walking Simulator and that Zombie game (already forgot its name), it is not very hard to do. Nothing wrong with liking those games, but you have to admit that they are not exactly lighting the world on fire. At least the Zombie game sold well though. Hopefully they listen to fan feedback for a sequel.

Nintendo however had been killing it with exclusives this year. There is just no denying that fact.

badz1492383d ago

@shiken

"...they are not exactly lighting the world on fire."

so...which Nintendo game this year that is lighting the world on fire?

Juusterey2383d ago

@shiken
if you can't remember the names of things then your opinion doesn't seem very useful
just looks liked biased crap

Sully52462383d ago

Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Pokemon
Luigi’s Mansion 3
Astral Chain
Mario Maker 2
Link Awakening
Etc.
All these games are going up against Death Stranding. Enough said

Shiken2383d ago

@juustery

As someone who has the plat in both Horizon and God of War, and has enjoyed what Nintendo has to offer as well I can assure you there is no bias on my part. I have all 3 systems and use them all as I see fit.

Just because I do not care enough about Days Gone to remember its name (looked it up), that does not make me enjoy any of Sony's worthwhile IPs any less.

Have a good day sir

Dragonscale2383d ago (Edited 2383d ago )

@shiken, no bias my ass. Having more than 1 system doesn't mean you're not biased. Your comments don't help either as you come across as a nintendo fanboy tbh.

Shiken2382d ago

@Dragonscale

Considering the amount of Sony bias that seems to be on this site, I find myself more often than not going with Nintendo. Dig a little deeper and you will find I was once considered a Sony fanboy on this site.

People only see what they want to see I am afraid.

PlayableGamez-2383d ago

Why?
Because they are coming out with a half baked Pokemon game coming out?

Lore2383d ago

Let’s be real, the games have been half baked for years. When you look at deep & massive titles/rpg’s (that yes could still technically cater to younger audiences) Pokemon games are a joke when compared.

King_Noctis2383d ago

Yeah let just ignore all their other great games they had released so far this year. Oh and a console revision as well.

funny how the 3d games are not in the top 5 haha

Giga_Gaia664d ago

It should be:
1) Gold/Silver/Crystal
2) Red/Blue/Yellow
3) Ruby/Saphire/Emerald

The rest can be put in any order you want.

Rutaprkl664d ago

No way original Gen 1 games are better than R/S/E

Rutaprkl664d ago

I liked Sword/Shield (Which didn't even make the list) way more than Scarlet/Violet, but everyone has opinions.

Inverno663d ago (Edited 663d ago )

IMO I think S&S is better because it's more visually appealing due to it's nice backdrops and linearity, but it was still meh. I couldn't bother finishing Scar/Vio, they managed to make an even more boring broken game only 2 games after S&S and that's quite impressive.

jambola663d ago

the amount of games with forced exp share making this list is depressing
even games like ranger or colleseum/ XD
or mystery dungeon, way more deserving
