Having never played Splatoon I assume the objective is that sooner or later someone gets shot.

Anyway motion controls as a concept are fine and probably speak to the future of gaming, on the Wii it was realized as bad gimmickry most of the time, and I did whatever I could to avoid using motion controls on the Wii.

Yeah every day is a terribly desperate end of the world scenario and ppl should do the dumbest poo poo they can think of as a mode of being and pray it results in exhalation and/or judgement from a god that either doesn’t exist or a god they killed. Basic concept of any video game.

I'd also like to add that the Wii is one of the most underrated consoles.

People claimed it had nothing but lovely casual games, but that is far from true.

On the Nintendo side you had: Metroid Prime 3, Fire Emblem, NSMB, SMG1+2, Punchout, Skyward Sword, Sin & Punishment 2, Xenoblade.

On the third party side you had: No More Heroes, Muramasa, Tatsunuko vs Capcom, A Boy and His Blob, Project M, House of the Dead: Overkill, Trauma Center: New Blood, Rodea: The Sky Soldier.

Not to mention there is the Virtual Console which offered a vast catalog of classic games which many to this day had their best emulation on.

The system certainly isn't S-tier, but it is far better than people give it credit for.

The wii is especially dope once you (easily) mod it. Lot of neat foreign titles. Also punch out is amazing.

But really, game reviewers pissed me off at the time. I wrote them off when everyone claimed that you can't perform ubertricks in SSX Blur. When in reality if you practiced it for like ten minutes you could execute them 10/10 times.

I typed Project M, not Other M. Project M is a Super Smash Bros. Brawl mod that turns it into the best Smash game.

The relationship didn't go tits up, the creators just attuned themselves to the will of the masses to make the most money and it turns out the masses aren't interested in good content or deep gameplay. They want their trophies and cinematic feel-good garbage slapped into a nice sleek "press X to movie" format. It also matters whether or not your avatar has a digital cock or digital tits or whatever.

Basically your venn diagram of people who play games versus people who watch daytime talk shows have become a single circle.

I genuinely dig the concept but the two current big ones (pub and fort) feel and play like rear end. I don't know about all the new ones coming out but if they can make one that doesn't control like poo poo and has decent gunplay then I'm sold.

I played Fortnite for about 20 minutes then quit because it was bad. It seems like minecraft with shooting? everyone on my team was farting about building stuff then some guy came along and killed my team. I killed him but then I got shot and died. I started another game and this went pretty much the same way so I uninstalled it.

UT2004 was the last good multiplayer fps.

Outside of workplace abuse, which admittedly is a serious thing, it's ridiculous that people took Kojima's side over Konami during the "controversial" breakup around Metal Gear Solid V. Kojina takes years and nearly 100 million dollars to work on the game, only for it to be half finished.

Konami, understandably, puts their foot down and Kojima a firm deadline. This results in the game still not even being close to finished and delayed. By the time the game is released, it doesn't even have an ending, with the closest thing being an extra with completely unfinished cutscenes and storyboard panels.

I'm not say the falling out was completely in Konami's favor, but they certainly had their reasons.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Super Smash Bros games are all awesome and people who nitpick things like tiers and game balancing are all fundamentally screwed up in the head. They're the same type of people who create word documents showing you that in Final Fantasy 6 you have a 1/256 chance of getting this treasure in a chest, so if you don't get it keep resetting your SNES.

The new Smash, since it has EVERYBODY, is going to be amazing and hopefully drives all of those stats freaks completely insane trying to balance the game out and determine who's "best". Guess what? They're all best. I can be Jigglypuff and beat you by falling asleep, that's a solid win in my book.

I'm pretty sure it has all the ending it was ever going to; as an open world game not actually having an ending is part of the design

It's funnier that the idea is so not their own that the name of the genre is the movie they lifted it from

This is one step removed from someone making a shooter about cyborgs and they called it a Terminator Game, then sued everyone else for using cyborgs because the idea was so original
