I guess I was conflating Nintendo fans with the people who get pissy about plot in games, which is unfair.

Oh ok, I was going to ask since I also I don't recall the Nintendo guys specifically going against story. I personally can't tolerate story in games and I'm still only starting to check the n64 and game cube libraries.

By the way, Started playing Mana Khemia 2 and it's an awesome game despite of the infuriating amount of dialog. Locking yourself into the laboratory and getting out super-powerful never gets old.

You should probably just stop trying to say "Everyone who disagrees with me is elitist".

Won't someone think of the 99% who care about RPG plots? This is late capitalism.

Nintendo is trying to find ways to get people to purchase hardware and software to go along with amiibos. Because as it is people are just buying the amiibos and skipping the hardware and software.

Really goes to show that people care more about Nintendo as an icon instead of what content they actually shove out the door.

Try actually supporting your position instead of just calling everyone who disagree with you elitists who are mad as hell about your opinions, because it makes you sound like a beta bitch.

Oh lol. I aways assume they are just going against people that are maybe too critical towards games in general.

e: not as an attack but as a reaction to the heavier criticism.

And you should read what you post before you say it because you come off as a loving schizo. Posting about the "99% of people who enjoy RPG plots" without recognizing that elitism is inherently a minority position or that you're posting in a forum where people have a hard time admitting they enjoy games for the plot is some serious cognitive dissonance.

People who actively give a poo poo about video game plots are not some kind of vast silent majority. The hottest game market right now is mobile games, which are generally very casual and mechanical. Even if you wanted to discount mobile games, you still have a very large percentage of people who play sports games, competitive shooter games, and MOBAs. These people are not the elite, and they are not giving a poo poo about the feels that the Bioshock titty girl gave them. Beta bitch boy.

Does anyone know what the gently caress happened to the entire genre of arcade-y sports games? I understand that with EA just outright buying the NFL license it's a lot harder to make a successful football game that isn't Madden but the only surviving type of arcade sport is racing, and even that is dwindling. Even with the indie boom it's been like three or four years and there's not a single NBA Jam-alike or even something like Mutant Football League.

It's due for a comeback. The reason it went away is because the license holders kept pushing for realism, and having the license guaranteed much higher sales, so it just kept getting more and more loving boring.

There WAS a Blood Bowl video game not too long ago, but it was a replication of the surprisingly unfun tabletop game instead of being Mario Kart But With Football And Blood.
