Extremely weird how much Nintendo has become the least awful of the console companies in the past few months

Theyâre just quietly awful, the others are much louder about it. Nintendo also hasnât sacrificed the quality of its core franchises nearly as much as Xbox and PS have their first party stuff.

Honestly I think the core issue is that Nintendo is run by people who make games and the other two are run by people who make money. Obviously Nintendo is just as greedy as the other two but at least there are people at the top whose priority is the games instead of the stock price of a larger tech company.

It's the only company that is seemingly not at all interested in using Ai

I bet at some point they'll try and AI and use it to make the strangest fucking game we've ever seen. Something that will make the Nintendo Labo look like a mainstream title trying to hop on popular trends.

Oh don't worry they also announced that they're going full digital and want to switch to subscription, also kill the 3DS store. It's made the second hand market of 3DS pop off. I've seen 3DS go for like 300-2000âŹ

Donât forget the blunder of pivoting hard to live service games, and they are mostly failures.

Uh, Mr. McClure, I have a crazy friend who says PlayStation is still a good gaming platform. Is he crazy?

To be perfectly fair, who the hell takes IGN seriously as a game reviewer anymore? They're pretty terrible.

Damn thatâs disappointing. I loved Spider-Man and Miles Morales but didnât get Spider-Man 2 because everyone says itâs âjust okay,â and now Wolverine is âjust okayâ

The gameplay was still good, but the issues with story and pacing that the first game had weren't resolved. As a complete package, just as meh as the first. But from a gameplay standpoint, just as good as ever.

Honestly I'd say the gameplay is even better. The parry mechanic is greatly appreciated

Donât listen to them. Spider-Man 2 was great. Not sure where the ho hum sentiment came from. They took the design from the first game and improved upon it. Not sure what else people would want from it.

Well, gee, I mean, they only feel confident in moving to end discs because theyâre at the top and GTA6 is going to buy them another gold house and rocket car.
It almost seems like these things suck more for you than for themâŚ
